heavyweight, made poor start in
New York last night when he bumped
into Gunboat Smith and was whipped
at the end of ten rounds.
CowIer was willing to mix and take
punishment and was given lot. He
appeared uncertain in his movements
and did not realize exactly what was
expected of a battler. He followed
Smiths lead continually, mixing or
boxing, just as the gunner desired. In
close work he did his best work,
pumping some hard blows to the ma
rine paTty's midriff.
Gameness stuck. out all over the
Englishman. He was not worried by
Smiths blows and waded into them
with a disregard for their effect
Throughout the mill Cowler was
looking to Corbett for advice and the
former champion did almost as much
work as his prOtege.
Jimmy KiIroy, former feather
weight fighter, who, since becoming
a manager has increased his weight
to 154 pounds, wants to donate his

Manager Bresnahan's decision to
disregard iron-clad contracts and
cast off any athlete who fails to play
some real baseball during the present
home stay of the Cubs is not the re-
suit of pique on the part of the man
ager.
Bresnahan has stood for as much
as could be expected. Other man
ayers in the circuit have been sus-
pending their men and plastering
fines for offenses no more fgarant
than those committed by Cub men.
For there can be no greater Offense
than refusing to play ball when ca

STEERACE RULE TO HIT
I'd CABIN VOYACERS
Passengers, Beginning Friday,
Will Have to Go to Ellis Island.

Passengers who arrive after to-mor-
row in the second cabin of transat-
lantic liners will be compelled to go 20
Ellis Island, where they will have to
undergo an examination similar TO that
given steerage passengers. This was
the order of the Department OF Labor,
promulgated through Frederic c. Howe,
Commissioner Of immigration, and
steamship agents will learn of 1t for
the first time to-day.
II is said the stand taken by the
Labor Department is because many IL
literates, who ordinarily would travel
steerage. have come TO this country
second cabin. paying an average OF SO
more simply TO be freed from the Ellls
Island inquiry.
Steamship agencies were closed yes
terday because Of the holiday, but II
il thought that there will be complaints
against the new order, the agents be-
lievng that it is unwise 70 place an
unnecessary hardship upon persons
who are unable TO pay for first class
passage.
The companies, by the new order,
will be subject to expense in trans.
porting passengers to Ellis Island and
feeding them while they are there.
This they now avoid on second class
passengers. It is likely that the st.
Louis. Of the American Line, due to-
morrow, will be the first vessel af-
fected.

Huerta's Minister Of the Interior, who
wa. recently executed by Carranza'
villa heartily approves of Carranza's
disposition of the case. Recent state
ments from Carranzista sources said
that Villa. during his successive occu-

Size

The Butterick establish
ment includes one of the
largest printing plants in
the world. Also the largest
and most thoroughly COM
plete fashion organization in
the world.
In addition, Butterick has
the largest pattern business
in the world. And is the
only publishing house with a
truly international business.
The Designer, TIL
Delineat tor, and I h e
Woman's Magazine are
separate, powerful members
of this unique family.
Mere size is not a conclu-
sive argument in favor of
anything. But when an in
stitution has reached a posi-
ton of leadership by a steady
growth over many years and
includes in this success the
confidence of millions of peo-
ole, size means something.
