HEAVIES IN RING TONIGHT
Gunboat Smith Boxes Weinert
and Reich Meets Flynn.

Two of the men who are hankering
after Jess Wizards title will box in
different rings tonight, and much will
depend upor The outcome of these
bouts Gunboat Smith, who gained a
decision over Willard in California in
1913, will meet Charley Weinert, Of
Newark. in the star bout at the Broad
way Sporting Club, Brooklyn, and
AL Reich will take on Dan (Porke")
Flynn. the Boston heavyweight, at the
Federal A. c., on the Bowery.
A setback for either Smith or Reich
at this time would greatly lessen their
chances of getting on the big time"
circuit with the new champion, so both
will put ,ortk their best efforts.
Willard, from outward appearances,
does not take kindly TO the theatrical
life, and it would not surprise some
people if he announced his intention of
pull away from Tom Jones's apron
strings long enough to get back into
the game that won him fame.
The following bouts are scheduled for
tonight:
Astoria A. C.-Al Thomas VS.. Kid

MOST ANCIENT RACE

ends Of Lost Cavern-SeaIed
Up by Nature.

Kansas City. - The archaeological
department Of the University Of Ne
vada has nearly completed the ex-
ploration Of cave in Nevada, sealed
up by nature 5000 years ago. It con-
tains relics Of what is believed to be
the ancient race from which the
American Indians sprung, a race far
older than the Aztecs. Among the
thing brought to light is a skull de-
clared to be more than 5000 years
old certainly and possibly in existence
several hundred thousand years ago.
If these surmises are correct it is
older than the Piltdown skull, found
in Kent, England.
Along with the skull were found
many relics Of prehistoric race in a
remarkable state Of preservation, be-
cause they have been Theoretically
sealed in natures own preservatives.
The first mention Of this ancient
civilization that is remembered by
white men dates back to 1914, when
General Fremont led from California
a little band Of whites across new
trail through the Rockies. He fol-
lowed the Humboldt river until he
came to the shores of what is now
called Humboldt lake, half mile
east of the main Humboldt range of
mountains, and a mile south Of Love
lock, New. In the region Of the lake
he entered the land Of the Piute, the
chief Of when was Winnemucca. The
trailmakers were met by the Indian
chieftain with open arms.
General Fremont and his party were
guests of the Piute band for many
days. Familiarity with other tribes
had taught Fremont a method of com
munication by means Of signs. He
asked the Indian chief if he, in his
great wisdom, could tell the white
man whence came the red men-their
origin. The aged chief by signs indi-
Gated that the history Of the Indians
went back to the beginning of the
world. It told how his ancestors had
driven q whole nation into huge
cavern and scaled them there to per
iSh.
When years later Chief Winnenauc-
ca had learned the white mans
tongue the Piute legends spread
among the pioneer miners and finally
reached the ears of scientific men.
At Winnemuccas death his daughter
Sarah became attached to the fam

them the legends became public
