Just as 1t is now obstinately shut

army that could only muster 10000
available men and refused to continue
the established policy of building up
our navy. When the time came for ac-

Able BROWN TOO

Fighter.
BY ". q. MCCLELLAN.

Young Able Brown, OF the East Side,
and Young Frank. Of the same vicinity,
furnished the melodrama at Colonel
Reislers tonsorial sporting club in
lS5th Street last night. Brown hit
Frank with everything but the bucket,
and though Frank was Keeling through
the last three rounds he refused 10 go
TO the mat for the count.
Able pounded Franks jaw with mo-
notonous regularity all through the
20. but IL was like hammer hitting
chilled steel. If Frank had been half
human he would have been knocked
through the roof, but his head seemed
TO be absolutely solid.
The crowd was on tiptoe during the
whole ten rounds. Whenever Frank
seemed to be on the verge of dropping
he surprised everybody by rocking
Brown with a right swing. He kept
this up until his arm tired. and he had
10 hold the ropes 10 keep from drop
ping.
In the preliminary Bonnie -. hitman
and Babe Davis went ten full rounds
at a lively clip. Babe took the honOrs
on points.
The second bout was scheduled to go
the same distance, but after Bob San

anatomy which Colonel Reisler calls

night. Fred Mckay at his best never
dove more gracefully.
