Andy Cortez, the Hoboken battler,
who gave Tommy Lowe such ter
rife struggle at the old club house
year ago.
"Sorry. Nelson meets Stone. Osh-

read the telegram from AL McMur-
ray, manager Of both Nelson and
Cortez.
While it is unfortunate that Nelson is
! unavailable. nevertheless, 5Cortez made
| profound impression on the fans the
night he met Lowe. He is short and
chunky. a rusher Of the Knockout Brown

Dutchman ever was. After the bout
Lowe remarked to a friend. Gee. he's
a tough boy. A little OF him goes a
long way" That illustrates better than
anything else his class in the ring.
Cortez has been very busy since the
New Year came in. The night Joe shu-

ever seen in that ring. The Syracuse

New York Times writer:
Three men on that commission draw
salaries amounting to 81. 900. Chairman

SOLD RELICS OF WASHINGTON
icine Chest of His Auctioned
in New York.

Two pistols which George Washing
ton carried through the Revolution,
medicine chest which belonged to him
and Light Horse Harry" Lees flag
were sold at auction at New York dur
ing the past year. There are no
Washington pistols in Mount Vernon
or in the National museum at Wash
ington.
The genuineness OF the offerings
was attested by a documentary rec
ord of their sale in 1904, in Alexandria,
Va, at the disposal of the effects of
Washington's secretary, Bartholomew
cambridge, to whom the general pre-
scented the weapons. Their presence
,in 1893 at the partition of the Marstel-
Ter estate is attested. Col. Philip G..
Marsteller, one of Washington's pail
bearers, bought them at the cambridge
sale for e6:3s.
The pistols are of the flintlock type.
They were made by Hawkins of Lon
don and bear the gunmaker's guild
proof mark &c. p" Silver hands across
the butts are engraved General
George Washington"
The medicine chest is of mahogany
and walnut, about one foot square,
with brass handles. Lees flag is about
two feet square. It had fallen apart
from age, but the pieces were saved
and are held in place by thin netting.
