Common Sense in Obituaries.

How grand it is for the newspaper
writer to linger over the casket of
the dead and silently dream of a
sanity soul swept out into the sea of
eternity. He drops few tears on a
few pages of copy paper, and then
writes an obituary, extolling the
dead, golden words, glittering, mean
ingless nothing are scrolled out that
mothers may weep and children may
cry and men may sigh.
What is the real end to be sought
in obituary writing? The daily press
contains none Of the old fashioned
obituary writing Some Of the week
lies do not. What does the general
public want to know? 1t wants to
know brief history Of the life and
deeds of we'll known citizen, and
less Of q stranger. 1t wants a brief
story of the closing chapter, the last
sad rites, the grave merited word OF
praise and character. That's all.
Just the facts.
This thing of making angels out Of
reprobates, gods out of devils, chris
tians out Of infidels, public spirited
citizens out OF misers, charitable peo-
pie out OF mercenaries, etc, Is all rot.

to take the measure OF any white
hope who win crawl into the ring
with him
Langford has been fighting for
thirteen years, and in that time only
two white boxers have ever defeated
him. Away back in 1903, when
Langford was in the weIterweight di-s
vision, he lost on points in a twelve
round bout with Danny Duane, q.
New Y ork boxer. No other paIeface
ever got a decision over Sam u4A-
til he met Gunboat Smith in Boston
late in 1913. BY careful manage
the winner, and the referee decided
accordingly Sam was finding it
very difficult to get matches just then
and he can hardly be blamed for
speeding a bit with Smith. When
he met Gunboat again he realized
that it was up to him to redeem his
reputation, and he put Smith away
just as soon as he felt like it.
S Jack johnson has never manifest
ed any great desire to meet Sam In
real sheavyw Ell ght. Sam and Jack
fought fifteen-round bout in 1906,
when Langford was only a welter-
weight and johnson got the decision.

his meal tickets. In his bouts with.

lunusually been content to win ON
points, although he has occasionally

If johnson continues to refuse to
meet Langford, his claim to the title
should be ignored and Langford

Harry stone, the Beau Brumme1
of the ring, will be twenty six years
old today, as he was born in New
York on March a. 1889. Stone is
Hebrew and has been fighting since
I1910 in the lightwe ght and we1ter-
weight divisions, and he has been one
of the many claimants of the weller
title. Stone didn't have much OF a
reputation in his native land when
he went to Australia in 1918, but he
made a great hit in Kangaroo Land,
where he defeated Matt Wells. the.
English Hebrew and Johnny Sum-
mers Stone cleaned up over $4,000
| In a year in Australia, and added
quite a bit to his roll in England,
where he was a popular fayerite.
Last January Stone took possession
of the New Polo A. A. in New York
and became a magnate of the game.

Ell Paso, Texas, March 4.-By cable
Jack sC4lrIey asked yesterday what in
dueement would Jess willard consider
to go to Havana to box johnson The
cablegram was addressed to Tom
Jones, manager for Willard, who went
into executive session with himself
for the remainder Of the day although
he announced last night that there was
a possibility that the fight could be ar
ranged there This telegram was the
solar piexus for the Juarez fight. local
fans declare
Cufley in a personal letter to friends
here has declared that the sporting
men in Havana had filed the black
man full of lies about his treatment il
he went to Mexico, how negroes were
especially hated there and how unsafe
it would be for him to undertake the
trip. This and the details Of numerous
executions OF negroes in Mexico seemed
to have had its effect upon the mind o.
the negro, Curley says, and he had all
most decided to declare the d1ght or
when CurIey reached there.
Tex Rickard, the promoter and ref
cree of the Johnson Jenrfes fight id
Reno, has broken into the s.possibilityH
field, offering to stage the fight IN Bue-
nos Ayres, Argentina The fight game
has been going strong down there. he
declares, and is willing to put up a.
guarantee equal to that offered By
Curley for the battle. But Curley's

COL UMBlA BOYS
MUST DECIDE TO
SUPPORT FOOT BALL

New York, March 4ACo1unbia.
University undergraduates must dem.
sonstra.te once more to the college fac
u1ty that they want football before
the grddiron sport can be re-instated
at the A1orningside Heights 1nstitu-
ton. A mass meeting Of the entire
student body has been called for next
Wednesday, night by the Student
Board, to take place in the University
Commons. The question to come up
is; .sWiII the undergraduate body
support Football as it would be play
ed as specified by the University
Committee on Student Organiza-
lions The University Council,
with whom the final verdict rests,
has called upon the college faculty.
as the most interested body for its
sanction or disapprovM of football,
and the college committee of the
faculty has requested the Student
Board to call this gathering of the
undergraduates.
The general feeling on the campus
is that football must come under the
conditions named by the committee.
no matter how hard they seem, or not
at all; but before making its decision
the faculty wishes to give the stu
dents a chance for open discussion.

a1ExIOANs SAW FIGHT
BETWEEN FTTzSTA1AEONS
AND PETER MAHER.

If Jack johnson defends his title
on Mexican soil, the pugnacious citi-.
zens OF the most turbulent Of repub-.
lies will have an opportunity to- wit
ness their first heavy weight cham
pionsFip battle. Mex1cans have seen
better men light, however, for among
the few hundred sports who gathered
along the Rio Grande, opposite Lang
try Tex in 1S9 s, to witness an en-
and Peter Maher; were not q few Of
the brunette hombres who are ad-
dicted to chile con carne.
Bob and Peter were exactly the
ter Of an inch under six feet. There
was not much to- choose between
them in weight, for Peter, like Fitzss
was little more than a middleweight
in avoirdupois.
Maher had a punch that was like
the kick of a. mule, and he landed it
fair and square on Bob in the very
first round. The blow made Fitz
groggy. but the freckled fellow re-
covered in a few seconds, and re-
turned the compliment with such
vigor that Peter was Knocked kick
ing. He couldn't get up before the
fatal ten had been called on. The
battle lasted just one minute and
thirty-five seconds. 1t was a blow
to the jaw that cooked Peters goose.
He tumbled flat on his back and re-
| manned there, with his glazed eyes
wide open. That was a little pecu-
narity OF Peters. for his lamps were
always propped wide while he took
the count.
It was several minutes before Peter
recovered his senses. When he did
he remarked. ssFitz amt a man. He's
the dlvil himself, thot's what he is, :,
Fitzsi Inmons. has often declared
that of all the wallops he ever as
simulated, that delivered by Peter in
the very first minute of their Lang
try battle was one OF the fiercest.
At the time of the Hitzsi nm ops-
Maher bout the opposition to pugi-
ism was prevalent all over America,
and Bob and Peter Travelled AL over
the south before they finally met at
Langtry.
After whipping Maher Fftzsira-
mons again challenged Corbett to de-
fend the heavyweight title. The Cali
ifornian accepted, but it was not an
easy job to find a place to pull off
the rookus. Dan Stuart undertook
the promotion Of the battle, and
picked out Dallas, Tex, as the battle
ground. Texas then had no law
against pugilisn, and the leading
business men of Dallas were so
strong for the fight that Stuart an
ticipated no trouble. Not long be
fore the date set. however, the min
listers made such a protest that Gov
ernor Gu1berson called a. special SEES

against fighting Stuart then

the fight at Juarez, across from Ell

not averse to bull fights, wouldn't

stuart was then about $50, 900 to
the bad. but he was game. He went
/ to Nevada, interviewed the 1egis1a-
| ture, and got permission to stage the
fight at Carson City, upon paying a
license fee of $1,000 In the end
Stuart made a profit out of the ven

SAM IANGFoRD, 20 TO-DAY
MOST FEARED HEAVYWEIGHT.

If pugilistfc titles are to be decid-
agents. the heavyweight champion of
the world today is undoubtedly
Samuel Langford. That doesn't help
the white race any. it must be ad-
nftted, but it at least gives honor
to whom honor is due, and 'sTham''
for all his black skin, is about as
ttwI4ite'' a boxer as can be found. For
five years the sporting writer's have
been predicting that Langford would
soon be numbered among the has
beens but Langford is still the most
feared of all heavyweights. Sam was
born in Weymouth, Nova Scotia.
March 4. 1886. and will be twenty
