STORY OF THE COMBAT
AS is TOLD BY ROUNDS
tay sssee,.rrp pprss,

NDw YORK. March 25.@The doors
of Madison Square Garden opened
late. A jostling crowd. impatient at
the delay, poured through the runways
in single file, tickets in hand.
The big hall filed slowly. The gall
leries, so close to the roof that tall
man standing tip-toe could have
touched the rafters with his finger
tips, were packed tight long before
the bare spots on the floor began to
disappear.
The faces in galleries, balconies,
boxes and stands of the big oval floor
blurred into indistInct splotches OF
white in the glare. Of the big mercury
lamps above the ring. In frail look
ing perches swung from the rail OF the
second balcony, the moving picture
men focused their cameras on the ring.
The preliminaries began. but for all
the crowd cared the boxers might as
well have been purnmeling each other
in their own back yards. The spec
tators were interested only In the big
bout and they were willing to wait.
Former Champs on Hand.
John L. Sullivan, Bob Fitzsimmons.
Jim corbett. all one time holders Of
the heavyweight championship, had
seats close to the ring.
Among those holding box seats were
i. Pierpont Morgan. Reginald @. Van
derbIlt, Diamond jim Brady, David
Belasco. Enrico Caruso; Lindley az.
Garrison. General w. Coleman Du
iPont and Mayor curley. Of Boston.
There we're scores OF women In the
great throng. Some sat in the arena
boxes. but mostly they were in the
balconies.
The garden never had larger
crowd. Carpenters worked until the
last minute building seats on the floor.
That was why the doors didn't open
on time, Promoter Tex Rickard ex-
planned. He was sorry, he said but
his sorrow was Of the cheerful order,
for every one OF the 1900 seats were
filled. Al few $25 tickets were In the
box ONCE when the doors opened, but
they were soon sold. Spectators
found Il easy 10 get four times the

BOWLING CONGRESS
Tournament Ends Its Third
Week with Two Shifts of
Teams Led by Overland.
enY AsseeiGrEn rRtaa,

TOLEDO. o., March 25.-The third
week Of the American Bowling Con-
gress tournament came to an end to-
night when two shifts OF five-man
teams led by the Overland second
squad completed their games without
disturbing the leaders. With less than
five games to roll, Chicago is left in
possession Of three of the four leading
places and is tied for the fourth. The
Commodore Barrys top the main event
with 2,905, two pins less than the
Knights of Columbus won with year
ago; sykes" Thoma and Hank Marino
are high in the doubles with 1879,
Frank Shaw, Chicago, is tied with
Ben Huesman, Of Cincinnati, for the
individuals lead with 6S5 and Thoma
LEADS the all events shooters with
1918. Predictions by the officials here
today indicate that few important
changes will take place in the three
days left of the meet.

three quarters of an hour after the ex-
pected time, the great throng, almost
automatically moved forward. II
looked F7r few minutes as II a panic
would result, as hundreds tried to
force their way in at the same time.
1t was good natured multitude. how
ever, and the police soon restored or
der.
Hundreds of stylisly gowned women
and men in evening dress who arrived
in automobiles were forced to leave
their cars some distance from the gar
den. After struggllgn through the
packed streets, they had to form in
line with the other ticket holders.
Golden Harvest.
Spectators reaped a golden harvest.
None Of them appeared on the streets,
but almost levery store in the neigh
borhood held It's quota OF men who
seemed to have plenty of tickets tie sell
at two or three times their face value.
Even at the higher prices they found
eager purchasers.
Gusts Of applause far back from the
garden heralded the arrival Of Willard,
the champion. The cheers became a
sustained roar as the police cleared a
path for his. automobile through the
densely packed streets. His height
made him a conspicuous figure and
identified him to those who never had
seen him before.
Best Behaved Crowd.
A few moments later Moran's car
appeared and he too was given great
applause.
The police declared the crowd the
best behaved they ever had seen. Up
to the time the fighters entered the
building not single arrest had been
made.

No Smoke CIOud.


The smoke cloud that usually set
ties over a fight crowd was missing
and the few who lighted cigars and
clgarOts promptly stamped them out
by emphatic orders of hremen scat
tered through the building.
Neither Willard nor Moran had ap-
peared when the preliminarles which
the law requires so that the public may
get It's moneys worth, had reached
the seml-hnals.
Tom Jones, Wizards manager,
tugged at the white ropes around the
ring and demanded that they be
tighteped. An attendant granted his
wish.
Jess Willard was the first to enter
the ring, climbing through the ropes
at 1887. He was accompanied by his
manager and chief second, Tom James:
his seconds, Walter Monahan, Jack
Hemplc and Ray Archer. Willard ap-
peared to bs exceptionally cool. and at
ease, and stepped across tho ring to
shake hands with Frank Moran, who

Willard wore soft bandages which
were wrapped tightly around his

contrast, extended we'll above his

Willard was clad around the loins
with heavy red worsted tights while.
Moran wore dark green trunks OF a
similar texture. While the two heavy

on the ropes and smiled O non COM

across the ring to Moran,s corner but
the challenger appeared to avoid the
champions eye.
AT $3.50 Referee Charley White en-

DAY IN The NAVY
Uncle Sans Sailors Have All
Sorts of Fun on Thanks
giving.

THANKSGIVING day in the navy
isn't what it used to BET But
neither officer nor enlisted man
states the fact with reminiscent
sadness Of tone. For many years ago,
and many years less than that, and, in
deed, until very recent years, the Ply
mouth Rock anniversary "a a
day anticipated for months ahead be-
cause it would bring turkey and trim
mings" to every man aboard ship in
the navy. But now-well, the sailor
men are not any less patriotic, only
they have such improved food condi-
lions that a holiday has lost some of
its desirabilities, at least from a Gu
linary standpoint.
In every other respect Thanksgiv-
ing day is just as lOngingly antici-
pated, for greater freedom is allowed
the men, and events, unheard of in the
"old days." enliven the ship during
the forenoon and after dinner and tea
or tifin.
All sorts of athletic contests posi-
BILE to the floating gymnasium are in
dulged in and more than one promis-
ing "White Hope" has made his debut
at a holiday bout.
From the time they turn out every
man aboard feels a tangible difference
in the day. No matter what the
weather 1conditiOns-whether they be
near the equator or blowing about ice
crusted seas-it is Thanksgiving day
1-5 Alo-o 81 - SGIos--oS
Every vessel of the navy must be
kept ship-shape and for this purpose
about a fourth of the men are told
off to look after the absolutely neces-
Sary routine, such as cleaning, scrub
bling, cooking and accomplishing the
thousand and one odd jobs a man-Of-
war is always providing.
Whenever it is possible men are per-
mitted to go home for Thanksgiv-
ing, and of course their "Day" be-
comes an individual holiday, but the
majority simply go ashore for a jOllifi-
cation, a theater or a football game
if the fleet is in any home port-or
for whatever happens to be provided
by "the natives" of a foreign port at
that time.
OF course the elaborateness Of the
days exercises depends upon the tai
ent of the crew and the size of the
ship. Athletic rivalry is often intense
among various vessels of the fleet, and
when one possesses an especially
clever boxer, Dr. fox t~rotter, or pie eat
er, or singer, the others are sure to
learn it-there is no hiding of lights
under bushels at such times-and his
ability lends added luster to the pro-
gram,

THANKSGIVING Day a Window.

Hannah More says of praise that it
is the only employment in which self
has no part. Surely on one day in the
year, if no more, the Lord of harvest
and the nations God should be re-
membered. Like the chapel in a hos
pice on Mount Sinai, in which is one
window so located that the sun shines
through it only on q single day in ev-
cry year, so on Thanksgiving day, at
least, light enough should ray into ev-
cry soul to show how good God is.
And this should awaken praise, as the
kiss of a sunbeam is said to have snit-
ten into music the chords of a Tyre
in the temple Of Memnon. Never
was God better to US than now. It
is d good time to be alive. A brim-
ming cup is ours. Whether we think
of u territorial possessions, of our
material prosperity, or of cur civil and
religious blessings, the national thanks
giving ought to be volcanic-a very
Vesuvius for its fire and a very
Niagara for it's flow.

Creek Indians THANKSGIVING,

Among the Creek Indians of Okla
homa the New Year begins with the
Dusk" which is a celebration CORE
spending to our Thanksgiving, except
that they celebrate the ripening of the
corn, and not its harvesting. Yet the
idea is exactly the same-One of giving
thanks. By early writer's it vas called
the "green corn dance" and was re
garded as a time of general forgive
ness, Of dissolution of all crime and a
doing away with any feeling of hatred
toward others.
