Cantecn Service Checred

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Csnteen
service of the Red Cross for members
of the National Army and National
Guard as they travel to the canton
ments is being enthusiastically well
coined by the troops. Reports received
BY Foster Rockwell. director Of cantcen
service, from many chapters which
have been serving light refreshments
to the detachments passing through
their towns show the appreciation and
enthusiasm Of the troops.
At Washington, where the local chap
ter has been serving as high as 10000
cups of coffee in day to the troops
passing through, the soldiers leaned
out Of the car windows when they saw
the Red Cross uniforms and gave a
spirited Red Cross cheer. From all
parts Of the country comes the same
story-the soldiers fully understand
the meaning of this patriotic service OF
the women of the Red Cross.
II. p. Dawson, chairman of the Red
Cross War Council. to-day announced
the appointment of Bruce Smith, a
prominent banker of Chicago, as man
ager of the Central Division Of the Red
Cross. This appointment fills a va
cancy created when A. II. Sprague, I'd.
Of Chicago, formerly division manager,
resigned to enter the quartermaster's
corps Of the United States Army.

Bloom in Second

PITTSBURGH Sept. A.-Benny Leon
ard. the lightweight champion. knocked
out Phil Bloom, OF Brooklyn, in the
second round of their ten-round bout
here tonight. The round had advanced
a little more than one minute when
Leonard, rushing his opponent to cor
ner, shot over a right hook to the jaw
that sent Bloom down for the full
count.
Leonard boxed in his best form and
easily gained the honors over his oppo-
nent. In the first round Leonard forced
the fight from the gong. always keep
ing on top of his rival and raining
rights and lefts on him continuously.
Bloom was tired boxer when the
bell sounded. Leonard kept up the
same tactics at the beginning of the
second round and brought the bout to
an abrupt end in Blooms own corner.

Boxing News and Notes
-Bv FRED HAWTHORNE

IL is our earnest hope that Harry
Pollok, the manager Of Irish Patsy
Cline, took that young man out by the
old woodpile yesterday morning before
any of the other chores were done
and applied the switch to that portion
of Patsy's ANATOMY that custom has
proved the most vulnerable spot in a
bad boys makeup.
Cline has one of the most important
battles OF his career on his hands a
week from Monday night. at the Man
haitian A. c., when he faces Willie
Jackson, a boy with deadly right
hand. II Cline goes through the same
capers in his bout with Jackson that he
did in the affair with Barney Adair at
the Harlem Sporting Club on Thursday
evening he is liable to bump into
something most unpleasant.
Apparently realizing that Adair does
not possess a knockout punch, Cline
acted like a schoolboy teasing younger
clasSmate. lie danced IN and out and
around Adsir, leaving his jaw exposed.
laughing, grinning and all but sticking
out his tongue. He fought only in
spots, and the spots were very far
apart, but Pstsy's idea seemed TO be
that the crowd was there to see how
clever Mister Cline was.
These tactics will never Go against
Jackson, for Willie, though not the
most aggressive lightweight in the
world. has wicked right hand punch
and knows how TO shoot it over when
an opening presents itself. If he does,
Irish Patsy is going to quit smiling for
the rest Of the evening, and Pollok is
going to be looking for. another con-
tender for Benny Leonard's title.
Charlie Rose, former trainer of Fred
die v elsh and Carl Morris. is now with

Insufficient evidence was given yes

Of the grand jury in Judge Mclntyre's
part of General Sessions, as the reason
why that body has so far failed TO re-

the court he did not know whether the
blame should be attached TO the mag

Judge Mcintyre urged the jurymen to
take some action TO curb the propa-

Commissioners Fail to Adopt
License Ordinance

ASBURY PARK, n. j., Sept. 14.-Thc
Commissioners Of this city failed TO.
day to adopt a license ordinance, and
thereby automatically put the ordi-
nance before the voters at the next
election. under the initiative section
OF the commission government law.
Advocates Of the ordinance hoped ia
pass il over the "milelimit law,
which, because of the proximity OF the
camp meeting ground at Ocean Grove,
has effectually barred saloons from AS
bury Park.
There has never been a vote here
OIL the license question. Two of the
five Commissioners refused TO approve
a resolution to have a referendum at
the general election because the state
Supreme Court has declared unconst-
tutional a similar ordinance passed
several years ago.
