In this respect Italy Is at tn, same

Ninth Round When Jim Is Groggy

and again he sent in wicked blows to the
stomach and gradually brought down
Coffey's guard. In the eighth round he
whipped one over and II landed flush
on the big Irlshman's Jaw. Coffey was
staggered, but he fell into a clinch and
was saved by the bell.
Then came the ninth round. There was
an exchange OF rights, both landing on
the jaw. Coffey's punch brought blood
to Moran's bruised lips. but the Pitts
burgher's wicked smash caused Jim 8
knees to sag. Moran leaped upon his
man like n tiger. lashing out both left
,and right, battering Coffey to the ropes.
His left sank into Coffey's midsection and
his right landed flush on that famous
glass" jaw.
The pride OF Dublin dropped as II shot.
He rolled over on his back, scrambled to
his knees and was UP at the count OF

careening from side to side and Frank
landed n right uppercut which sent him
to the floor for the count of "six." Again
Coffey hit the mat. This time he took
"eight." When he arose he was help
less.
Moran launched a swishing blow, half
swing, half uppercut, and lifted the Celt
Off his feet. Corey groveled on the floor,
his arms extended, his hands opening and
closing in n vain effort to clutch some
thing to aid him in getting up. At the
count OF 'slx" he rolled over to the ropes
and staggered 10 his feet before the fatal
ten was tolled off. He stood swaying,
his arms at his sides and a foolish grin
on his battered face. He did not know
what was happening. He was "out on

Moran looked appealingly at the referee
and when he received no sign, walked
over to the beaten man and landed a

to the ropes. Then Billy Gibson threw

MANY ATHLETICS
ARE DEVELOPING
AT GERMANTOWN
DR.. Lewis Says School Has
Not Taken Up Sports
Too Extensively
REPLIES TO CRITICS

The criticism that the Germantown High
School has too many athletic irons in the
fire was taken to task yesterday by DR..
Philip G, Lewis. head of the department
of physical training. who claimed that
the criticism raised over the unusual num-
ber of sports fostered and encouraged by
the school was not well grounded, due
to the fact that the critics are unac-
quainted with conditions,
Germantown is the youngest high school
in Philadelphia and. although the new
building at Germantown and High streets
has been open only few months, the
students and Doctor Lewis have organized
teams to represent more branches OF ath-
letics than those supported by the older
institutions.
This action has been spoken OF by sew
eral persons identified with scholastic
athletics as biting off more than Ger
mantown can chew"
In the few months of its existence the
infant school has supported teams in
nearly every conceivable branch of sport
football, basketball, soccer. swimming,
Ice hockey, gymnasium and cross-coun-
try-are for the spring months. Plans
are already in motion to top off the list
with baseball and track.
Doctor Lewis said yesterday that the
school is justified in encouraging this
wealth of athletics on the grounds that
the basic purpose OF scholastic athletics
was to reach the greatest number of stu
dents. and that to do this sports In every
phase must be promulgated Moreover.
the test OF the last few months has
proved that a maximum OF sports can be
managed thoroughly by high school.
Playing Facilities Good
It was pointed out that the c0nduction
of so many branches of sport is made
possible by the excellent facilities at the
Germantown School. other schools. not
so fortunate, cannot boast OF big gym
nasium and a playground on the roof.
Besides several athletic organizations In
the Germantown district have proffered
the use of their gyms, swimming pools
and athletic fields, thus making possible
the extensive scheme OF athletics.
More than 1000 boys are enrolled at the
new high school, and their athletic affairs
are conducted in the spacious gymnasium
situated on the fourth floor. The gym,
built over the auditorium, goes TO make
up the connecting link between the boys
and girls buildings, and Is known as the
central plant. The girls have also organ
ICED athletic teams, with captainball pre-
dominating. II is doubtful II any school
IN the United States provides such oppor-
tunity FOR athletic development as Ger
mantown High
Before accepting the position as director
OF athletics at Germantown Doctor Lewis
was associated with the physical training
department at West Philadelphia High,
where he turned out championship fresh
man teams in every branch OF athletics
The coaching of the regular basketball
team was intrusted to his care and strong
combinations were produced.

from London received here yesterday
stated that the French line steamship

board, had arrived at Fayal. the Azo-
res, with a fire in her No. hold.
