laws. The fighters are reaping a rica
harvest-the champions especially.
Ninety times out of hundred the
champs or near champs, when fighting
for big guarantees fight merely de-
fensive fight. Their sole object is to
protect the jaw and the heart, stalling
through the six. ten or twelve rounds,
as the different State laws provide.
Practically every bout during the
past two years. in no-decision States,
In which champion participated, was
huge disappointment. Champions do
not fight in short no-decision scraps.
Why should they. II they actually
fought they would have to assume the
offensive at times. That would mean
that the vulnerable parts of their
heads and bodies would be exposed
to the risk Of a sleep-producing punch.
A champion has nothing to gain
and everything to lose-if he actually
fights in a no-decision bout So WHY
should he fight?
If the decision rule were put into
force in all States. it would be a great
boon to the fighting game 1t would
force fighters to fight-it would COM
pei champions to extend themselves
to their utmost limit. 1t would stop
the practise Of champions obtaining
money under false pretenses from the
fans by putting up joke exhibitions.
But, alas. there is no likelihood of
the State boxing commissions univer-
sally adopting the decision rule And,
as a result, the pugilistic game is be-
coming more anaemic every day.

FREDDY WELSH EXAMPLE

New York. Sept. S.-Decision fights
over the ten-round route in New YORK
State probably would kill the boxing
game here unless a similar law were
passed in all States. That's undoupt-
edly the reason why the State Boxing
Commission has ignored the hundreds
Of thousands of requests that referees
be permitted to render decisions.
None of the present-day champions
would risk his title by appearing In
New York ring for ten rounds only
if the decision rule were in force.
Even the leading aspirants for cham
pionships would balk at offers for
bouts, and the only fights that would
be staged here would be between dub
pugilists.
Jess Willard probably wouldn't run
the chance of losing his crown by
fighting in a ten-round decision bout
Willard is not a boxer. He rarely
shows up we'll in a ten-rOund bout
A smaller. inferior man might be able
to keep out of Willard's way for ten
rounds and if he outpointed him would
win the championship. although VIII
lard might be the far better fighter
in a long bout.
Freddie Welsh would stay away
from these parts if decision fights
were permitted because FREDDIE prop-
ably would lose his lightweight ttle
in his very first bout here. Since ne
won the championship. Welsh has en-
gal aeed in no-decision bouts with WIZ
lie Ritchie, Charlie White and others
and each time he was decisively
beaten. But because decisions were
barred Freddie still is champion.
The same thing goes concerning
Johnny Kilbane. The feather-weight

Putting and Driving at
Bannockburn Club.

A most exciting four-ball match game
has been scheduled at Bannockburn COLI
Club during the next twenty-four hours,
favorable weather permitting. Rather
rough weather would not dampen the en-
thusastic efforts of the participants, but
a large audience of Bannockburn MEM
bers and outside friends of the compet-
tors are desirous of being comfortable,
and of course their comfort will be look
ed after.
The event is the finals in the four-ball
tournament which has been in progress
the past month. DIR. Milo H. Sutliff and
Edgar ]. Doyle have won out in the
lower half, while Walter l. Travers and
DIR. B. L. Taylor are finalists from the
upper half having won a most difficult
round from President John l.. Warren
and William C. Worthington on last
Monday.
The first-named team is present hold
er of the honor. having won last year.
This is the first time that Travers and
Taylor have appeared as partners in
championship race, but they have proven
their ability to work in harmony and win
holes despite the fact that they are
heavily handicapped with a combined
club rating of twenty. as against thirty
two as combined ra ting of their oppo-
nents in the championship round. Sut
lift and Doyle are apparently playing
better than their rating. having had rath
er safe going against some of their
strongest opponents to date.
The women's fall tournament at Ban
nockburn is progressing nicely, the fair
ones being extremely eager. and with
plenty of leisure time in which to take
advantage of the perfect golfing weather.
Mrs. b. l.. Taylor has met with marked
success during the week, having reached
the finals of the upper half with wins
from two of Bannockburn's most capable
players. Miss Elsie Patterson and Miss
Alice Burbage, defeating the former two
up and one to go, and the latter two up.
The women golfers are working more
systematically than in former years and
are developing clever golf.
These boys attracted attention at the
Washington Country Club tournament,
making men of ability. such as Allen

They have been playing and winning

MOVIE DRAMA TO
Be STAGED HERE
Plan Is to Make It Pine
Bluff Play, Acted by
Local People.

A moving picture drama, made in
Pine Bluff and with Pine Bluff peo-
pie taking the several parts, is to be
prepared here and shown \ on the
screen within the next three or fou,
weeks, following the$,cel.rple ton OF
arrangements yesterday between the
Orphe theatre management and r. A
Wilson OF the moving picture COM
pany which will stage the affair anc
make the films.
Mr.. Wilson was here yesterday
and prepared the prelininaries fol-
the affair. He left for Little Rocl
last evening, but will return to Pine
Bluff Monday, to make an active
start on the local drama.
IT was announced last night thai
a prize of $40 will be Offered by the
Orpheo theatre for the best plot OF
SCI nario submitted by local per
son. Further announcement will bt
made later, which will include the
details, of the plan. Mr. Wilson's
company recently completed the
manufacture of a ,photoplay in Mem
phis and one in Little Rock, in botr
OF which people well known there
took part. Both stories were baset
on life in those cities, and the view:
were all of a local nature. The
same general plan will be followed
here, so that the showing OF thu
films elsewhere will serve as an adj
vertisement for Pine Bluff.

Great Increase Of Mosquit-

Need for Action.

The action of the trustees of the

deciding to aid in every possible way
the endeavors of Mayor Simon Bloom
and the city council toward prevent
ing recurrence of the annual flood
ed conditions in the old lakebed and
in Brump's bayou, lends added

If one section of the city is unhealthy,
the entire city will be badly affected,
hence the entire city is vitality inter-
ested in the matter.
There was not very much discus
sion of the proposition yesterday at
the meeting of the chamber OF COM
merce trustees. Those present at the
meeting all appeared to be thorough
Nv acquainted with conditions as they
are and as they have been. and dis
cusSion was not needed for them to
reach decision to aid in bringing
the matter to successful conclu-
sion. Details were not mentioned,
this being left to the members of the
city council and the city officials, who
are now studying the problem, and
the result of whose consideration IS
expected to take some definite form
at the next meeting of the council.
Deputy Street Commission Evan
Parnell said yesterday efforts were
being made to have the county aid in
the work of alternating conditions by
contributing several barrels OF OIL
owned by the county. If this Oil is
secured. it will be used in the drain
age ditch that runs through the cen
ter of the old lake bed. 1t is believed
this would be sufficient to surface the
water there, and prevent mosquitoes
from using it as breeding place.

been confirmed by Mr.. Sawyer.
1t is evident that the Clarke Kirby
controversy is to be resurrected in
g. few years, Judge Kirby announc-
ing today that his goal is the United
States senate. This is interpreted
as indicating that Judge Kirby will
again contest with Senator Clarke, if
the senator should offer for re-elec-
ton, and that the Kirby campaign
will have as it's vote-getting plank
the contention that Judge Kirby was
really nominated by the voters in
1914.
