from Callahan broke it again. For four
rounds Gruman made a game stand
with his jaw in this condition. In the
latter part of the seventh round he was
again jolted on the injured spot of his
face and could not continue the battle.

fine EXHIBITION OF
AQUATIC SPORTS is
CIVENAT NATATOR.Uh

The Natatorium was crowded with
spectators last night and all fully en-
joyed the exhibition of water sports put
on by Professor Leafs water dogs and
mermaids. The program of aquatic
sports opened with 100-yard swim for
boys which was won by Thomas Page,
with Donald Cunningham second and
Talma Rohrbaugh, third.
Professor Leaf then gave a brief ex-
hibition of scientific strokes, such as
the breast stroke, under arm side and
overarm sode, trudgeon and crawl
strokes. The exhibition was clever and
much appreciated.
The 1O0-yard swim for men was a
pretty race and was won by Claude
Newton with Harry Mol second and
James Thomas a close third.
Buster" Gerald Grimm was the hit
OF the evening and his diving stunts
from the low and high boards and
from the rocks 80 feet above the water
won him applause.
Miss Mirion Brooks showed speed
class in all her swimming events
which the big crowd highly enjoyed,
especially her race across the tank
with little Buster" Grimm. Claude
Newton and Oscar Rush did some
spectacular double somersaults and
fancy diving from the two spring
boards Talma Rohrbaugh, the cham
pion boy diver, sent some thrills
through the crowd by his wonderful
performances,
The life saving exhibition was one
of the features of the evening and was
participated in by Professor Leaf,
Miss Brooks and Buster Grimm. 1t
demonstrated how both men and wo-
men can save lives as we'll as little
tots who are able to handle them
selves in the water. In this event
Buster" Grimm swan to the rescue
of Professor Leaf and towed him half
way across the plunge while the swim
ming instructor did not make a move
in the water.
The program closed with a 60-foot
dive from the rafters by W, Rush and
Claude Newton. both boys making the
dive in splendid form.

man for failing to toe the aforesaid
scratch-a boy with a broken Jaw dam
Cling about can't go on taking slams
forever. In the third round Gruman
was laced in the left jaw with a right
hook. Then he battled gamely through
four rounds before he began to get
sick, and he did it in spite of advice
given him by his manager, Billy Roche,
who was opposed to continuing the
fray after doctor had pronounced the
jaw seriously fractured.
Crowd Disappointed.
The abrupt ending of what promised
to be as slick scrap as ever was gazed
upon by local fandom was a keen dis
appointment to some 1900 ring devotees
who crowded the Salt Lake theater
from carpet to ceiling. But not one of
them had a kick to make when he
learned the true condition of affairs.
The marvellous thing about 1T, every
body said, was that any youngster
should have pluck enough to so
through four rounds of hard fighting
with jawbone hanging loose.

MExIco ANn ApMINIsrRATION WORRY.

PTNHE anxiety of the military experts in Washington
over the Mexican situation and the position Of
General Pershngs command increases daily.
General Funston has indicated that It would be
highly unwisc send any considerable body of Ameri
in further pursuit Of villa, who has euded Cen
oral Pershng and south, because that would in
volve a line of communication long as to make it
entirely possible for small bands Of villa fol-
lowers or sympahizers break it.
Il is believed in Washington that Villa has broken
mp his command, If il can be dgnided by formal
a name, into small bodies instructed to misead and
harass the American troops wherever possible to at
tack American supply trains when they be found
unprotected and TO seek revenge by the murder and
pillago OF any American civilians who may be
countored
Carranzas refusal to permit this country to utilize
the Mexican railroads TO transport troops and sup
plies has OF greatly hampered the efforts Of
Generals Pershing and Funston. while all appeals TO
Washington to permit the forcibe utilization of the
roads have been emphatically refused by President
Wilson.
The resources OF the army already strained 10
the breaking point and there practically more
troops TO send into Mexico To go counter to the ad-
vice Of General Funston which is cordially endorsed
by the military experts In Washington, might involve
grave risk OF disaster to those soldiers already on
Mexican soil. Their peril it is felt by the military
authorities is already sufficiently great They are
confronted by expert guerrilla fighters armed with the
latest type OF hgh-power rifles and the best ammun
tion which has been supplied to them by American
manufacturers with the encouragement of the Pres-
dent of the United states.
Il is realized that any general slaughter OF the SOL
diers in Pershng's command would inevitably be fol-
lowed by such an overwhelming demand for reprisals
and for a strengthening out OF conditions in Mexico
generally that the administration could hardly resist
it, much as It would wish to- And any general inva-
sion Of Mexico will necessate vastly increasing the
personnel OF the army.

the interests clamoring for it. On the
contrary, the result is not infrequently
quite the reverse.
A case in point is furnished by the

out how and why the then contem-
plated legislation would, if written
into the Federal Code, not only mater

driving the American merchant flag
from the high seas, but, by depriving
American seamen OF opportunities for

lily, 'tis an anomalous situation. and
one that would be amusing, were 1t
not so serious. both from the stand
point Of the seamen and of the gem
eral welfare. At a time when there is
an extraordinary demand for shipping.
when our principal seaports are all
congested with the products OF Ameri-
can farms. American mills, and Amer
lean factories, waiting for bottoms to
carry them to foreign purchasers,
steamships are tied up for days and
even for weeks because of inability to
secure crews to operate them under
the stringent provisions of the LaFol-
lette-Furuseth Act

are told by our Washington CORES
pondent, is so seriously concerned
over the situation that it intimates
that relief may be sought by Stretch
ing" the statute, What it should do
is to recommend to Congress repeal,
/ if not of the Seamen's Act as a whole,
at least of those provisions whose un-
wisdom has been so clearly demon
strated and in that recommendation
/ the seamen themselves should join. So
much is demanded alike in the interest
of the seamen and of the public vel
fare. The LaFollette law has been
shown to be mistake. no matter from
what standpoint considered, and the
only proper way to correct that mis-
take lies in repeating the law. To at.
tempt to ameliorate its injurious ef-
fects by stretching" the provisions Of
the statute would be wrong in princi-
pie and vicious in policy.
