Neither did the clerk.
But Harry Sinclair-the clerk

Before long his oil wells were
pouring a stream of gold into his
pockets. He built mansion that

Oklahoma's most Influential citi-

EASILY (:
BEATEN

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-Willie
Richie was defeated easily by
Ted LAWS of England last night
In their 10-rouhd bout at Madison
Square Garden. The San Fran
cisco boy had an even break only
in the third round, but was out
boxed in every other part of the
battle.
Richie showed a keen willing
ness, and was fighting almost
as fast at the end of the 10
rounds as at the start. But
Lewis left and right hooks landed
at will, and the Englishman' s
clever footwork kept him we'll out
of range of most of Ritchie's
hard blows.

May HOLD FOURTH OF
JULY RACES ANYWAY

A special card of auto races
for July 4, in addition to the big
Montamarathon August s, Is be-
ing seriously considered by Ill
reetors of the Tacoma Speedway.
According to tentative plans,
the July meet would be in the
nature of an inter-city event,
which was to have been aban-
doned under the original plans
for 1915. There would be races,
in addition, of 10, 25, SO and
100 miles, thereby furnishing
more excitement for the crowds
than with the long-distance
events, which often become tire
some to the watchers.
The Speedway association Will
re open its offices February /,
and make speedy decision over
the July 4 races. According TO
the present idea, which it Is ex-
pected will be developed and ac-
cepted, only Northwest cars
driven by amateur or semi-pro-
fessional racers, will be entered
in the short dash events.

Bonds-Farmer go would
show an equal division of be-
lief over the showing made
by each boxer, we believe.
Everyone you meet has a dir
ferent opinion. Practically
all are agreed, however, that
the boxers were SO nearly
alike that neither deserved a
decision.
There'll be a big contrast
in eastern football next year.
Black will captain Yale and
White will lead Syracuse.

named Coach Halligan on his

Major leagues will cut the

According to Sam Howard.
They want him to box Billy
Weeks in Vancouver, too, he says.
After that, Farmer will be
taken to New Orleans. where he
will act as human punching
bag for Fred Fulton, the big fell
low who is matched against Jess
Willard in March.
Jack Root will be remembered
as the lime who was matched by
the Moose lodge against Joe
Bonds last season and proved
such blooming fiasco, y'know.
