forced to land.
Though the French aviators have the
highest respect for our anti-aircraft
pieces. they nave recently annoyed us
more than We thought necessary. We
decided to organize a sort of aerial out

WILD BILL FLEMM|NG
MAKES PUNCHING BAG
OF JOHNNIE GLOVER
South Boston Boxer Outclassed
From First But Stays Six
Rounds-Other Features of
Hanks Bouts Good

A big crowd Of fight fans was dis
appointed Wednesday night in the
meeting at City hall of Wild Bill
Flemming Of Old Town and JOHNNIE
Glover Of South Boston in the main
bout of the boxing card of the Hanks
bouts, and the disappointment all
centered in Glover. Ii could hardly
be called fight and that it went the
first six rounds was only due to Glo-
ver's cleverness al ducking and dodg-
ing and his ability to take punishment,
for F1emming made a punching bag
of him from the first tap of the gong,
hitting him at will and many times
without q return, and for the last three
rounds Glover was hanging to thu
ropes with one hand for the greater
part of the time. The men were not
permitted to go on for the second six
rounds, Glover being in no condition.
At no time during the bout did ne
show any evidence of being the able
scrapper that he is known to be. The
only reason for the poor exhibition
which he put up was apparently the
beating which he is reported to have
been given Monday evening at North
adams. Mass. when he fought Leo
Grady in Vermont, and from which
he was still suffering.
The best bout of the evening was
the semi-final between Young Mc-
CURE Of Augusta and War Eagle of
Lewiston, and the feature of this bout
was the whirlwind fighting of Nc
CURE. This youngster has developed
remarkably since his last appearance
at City hall and it took him less THAI
two rounds to floor War Eagle for
keeps.
AS a curtain raiser two new as
pirants for ring honors, Young Mar
tin Of Gardiner and Young McDonough
OF Bangor, gave an exhibition of six
rounds Of raw work without either
receiving any material damage. arI
at the conclusion Of the mixup George
Gilbert promptly entered the ring and
challenged both Of the boys to meet
him the same night.
A bout that met with the approval
Of the crowd was the mixup between
Freddie Samuels of Augusta, one O:
the liveliest youngsters in the busi-
ness, and young st. Louis Of Lewis
ten. These boys weigh about 100
pounds each and for six rounds they
snapped punches at a rate that IS
seldom seen in the ring. Both were
good and it would be difficult to say
who was the winner.
Kid Shea Of HalIowell officiated as
referee and his work was very salts

COUNT Won BERCHTOLD
Continued From Page Ono

ron stephan Burian Won Rajecz."
Count Won Berchtold was one Of
the main factors in the situation which
led to the Austrian declaration Of var
on SerVia. which in turn, precipitated
the European war.
AS Austrian foreign minister, Count
Won BerchtOld was largely responsible
Tor formulating the policy which re-
suited in the declaration of war on
SerTia. On several occasions, recently
it has been reported unoficially that
he would resign. The appointment Of
a Hungarian to succeed him in control
OF Austrian affairs Is believed to in
dicate that henceforth Hungary will
assume a more prominent place In
shaping the policy Of the dual mon
archy during the war.
