Boyle hoped into the ring and
wanted the fight to start at once. he

lew YORK May 21.-There are
two. reasons why Phinney Boyle,
i y Of Lowell, Mass, became a
prize fighter. One is because his par
ents hitched the name Of Phinney onto
him; the other is an offer Of 50 that
lured him into his first professional
ring engagement
And now, less than two years since
he climbed into a prize ring Tor the
first time, Phinney has risen TO sucn
heights in the featherweight division
that the ring expe It's are predicting
that with anu .neI SIX months OF eN-
perience he via oethrone Johnny
Kilbane-if Johnny gives him battle.
The parents OF Phlnney thought
Phinney was a very pretty monicker
u hang onto their offspring The
bOyhOOd acquaintance OF Phinney
thought II pretty, too; in fact, they
thought II too pretty for a boy and
called its owner sissy But the ma
jority called Phinney sissy just
once
Was Bare Knuckle Battler.
Phinney fought in defence Of his
name-and he fought often constant
battling gave him quite a reputation
as a bare knuckle battler back IN
Lowell and before he dOnned long
trousers Phinney was immune from
farther kidding about his first name.
Phinney had just celebrated his 18Th
birthday when a friend slipped him a
ticket for a prize fight that was
scheduled by one Of the clubs in Lowell
That was in September, 1913. A tough
young battler by the name OF ~Sykie"
Evans was slated to meet a boxer from
Boston.
When the time for the scrap came
along. the manager Of the club got
into the ring and announced:
THE boy who was to fight Evans has
craWled out OF the match Is there
anyone in the crowd who would like to
go on with Evans
For a moment there was silence IN
the crowd and then one Of the aud
fence jumped up and said:
4 guess I can find a boy"
Then he rushed over 10 where
Phinuey was sitting
say. you go in and fight that guy"
said the friend 10 Phinney.
Phinney looked at him in a puzzled
way.
what? Ne go in and fight him.

WILSON LEANING TO
A TARIFF ON WOOL
President Will Probably Ask
Congress to Restore Duty
as Revenue Necessity.
McADOO IN FAVOR OF 1T
General Revision Of Schedules
Expected If the Proposal
Is Adopted.
Mc.ADOO IN FAVOR OF IT

WAsHiSoroN, Oct. 1t.-President VIII
son is strongly considering the advis-
ablllty OF recommending small dutr
on wool as means Of raising revenues
necessary to meet the expense of the
Government next year
1t was learnei to-day that the Presi-
dent will probably incorporate recon-
mendation of this character in the mes
sage which he will send to Congress ask
ing for suspension of the provision of
the Underwood $ simmons tarir law,
which puts sugar on the free list on
May 1 next
Members of Congress have been in
formed that Secretary McAdoo is in
cined to favor the restoration OF duty
on wool as well as the suspension of the
free sugar schedule and that he has
urged this course upon the President. 1t
Is known that the matter has been under
discussion with Democratic leaders in
Congress.
The sugar and the wool schedules
have always been regarded as the most
important features of "A general tarln
revision, and the belief Is growing here
that IT will be next to impossible for the
Administ ration to make important
changes in these schedules without open
ing the field for efforts In other direc-
tons
Each member of Congress will have
his own special tariff interests and
President Wilson may tnd 1t difficult To
obtain votes on the sugar and wool
schedules without making concessions IN
other directions The fact that the
1 Democrats will control the House by :,
majority Of only about thirty will max,
/ the situation all the more difficult Il
| handle.
Before any final decision IL reached
! in regard to wool the President vii
hold further conferences with congress
leaders. The Democratic leaders. in
Guiding Mr.. Underwood. were by nc
means averse in the last session to levy
ing a small duty on wool as a means
of producing revenue. The personal In
sistence OF the President was chiefly re
sponsible for putting both wool ant
sugar on the free list.
! IL the Administration decides to ask
for duty on wool the step will OF
course be defended. as will the recon-
msndation to suspend the free sugar
schedule, on the ground that the Euro
pean war has created an eXtraordinar!
situation which It was absolutely impos
sible to foresee at the time OF the d. AFT
ing of the tariff law. II will be- con
tended that the duties are being restored
solely to- raise revenue.
At the same time there are many whc
welcome the opportunity to make change
IN the Underwood simmons law bcCsus,
! they believe II has worked 4 hardship
on the industries OF the country AN,
that this can be at least partly cor
rected under cover Of the revenue situd
tion created by the European war,
