HAUBER SHADES
FRANK MAGUIRE
Philadelphia Battler Shows
Best Form in Opening
Rounds

In a scheduled 10-round bout that
was SO exciting the referee and the
crowd forgot the number of rounds
fought, leaving the fight go eleven
rounds, last night at the show held
under the auspices of the National
Athletic Club, frankie Mcguire was
shaded by Harry Hauber, Philadel-
phia. The Family theater was the
scene of this great battle.
The bout was one of the best held
in this city for years and was brim
full of toe to toe fighting. Mcguire
showed more form last night than he
ever has in local bout and although
apparently nervous in the first rounds
gained his pose in the latter rounds
and was fighting hard when the final
gong sounded.
Hauber Leads
Hauber led most of the fighting
and tried hard to down Mcguire with
solar pleXus blow. Several of his
attempts were low. but were caused
by Mcguire jumping in the air trying
to make the Quaker City lad foul.
The fans branded him dirty fighter,
through the poor tactics of Mcguire.
a bout that was equally as good
as the wind-up was the semi
between Willy Fitzgerald and Wally
Nelson, both of Philadelphia. The
DOuL was an elSnI-rOunu aIIalr ana
went the limit. Both fighters were at
their best and battled hard through
out the entire match, giving punch
for punch. Fitzgerald was speedier
at times than his opponent, and de-
served shade. These boys should
be given another chance, according
to the general belief.

While the preliminary bouts were
none of the best they were by no
means poor and furnished enter
tainment for the fans. Young Dali
ton, Steelton, entered the ring with
bad burn on his arm and after Il few
blows were exchanged the sore was
torn open, causing him great pain
and making it hard for him to cover
up. The bout went two rounds when
X. Q. Dewey, of this city. his oppo-
nent, landed a blow on the Steelton
lads chin and one in the solar plexus
sending him down for the count.

the Altoona lad considerably and

FOR REAL PREPAREDNESS
Ambassador Urges New York Cham
Der Of Commerce to Start Mis-

NEW YORK. March 20.-James w.
Gerard, former ambassador to Germany.
in an address before the New York
Chamber of Commerce yesterday urged
his hearers to go forth as missionaries of
preparedness He said he favored pre-
paredness because he believed that uni
versal military service. as practiced in
Germany, was the best training and dis
cipline for a nation. The United States.
he said, was just now in IAN unpleasant
position and unprepared for what might
come
'Tt is only when the military are given
absolute control" he continued that
there is any danger from militarism and
there is no need to fear militarism where
equal opportunity is afforded. This op-
portunity can be found only in a civilian
government and Germany is ruled en-
tirely by a military government
Mr.. Gerard predicted that if war should
come the United States would be faced
with n great problem in dealing with
''our alien enemy population"
1.-The question is," he said, shall we in
tern them, as was done in Germany, or
shall we allow them to roam at large,

point out that many of these conditions
do not exist in Washington.
My Indictment of the newsboy's oc-
cupation is twofold' the speaker said.
1T does not furnish work which has edu-
catonal training for the future of these
boys. There is no close adult supervision
of the newsboys work. The boy is a
little merchant all by himself
Mr.. Hall said that the work of selling
papers interfered with schooling. caus-
ing absence from school and neglect of
nightwork that it was bad from q physi-
cal standpoint. because the boys were out
in all sorts of weather. and the tempta-
ton to buy foods from push cart venders
led to oVereating.

Many in Juvenile Courts.

Dr. a. ]. Mckelway. who was to have
presided, but could not be there, wrote
a letter in which he stated that one
fifth of the boys who pass through
juvenile courts are newsboys.
Dr. Mckelway stated he had the CO.
operation of newspapers in his efforts
for the passage of the national child
labor law and said that the newspapers
now were to be put to q test of sin
cerity in an appeal to be made to them
to help deal with the newsboy aues-
ton.
John Dolph asked whether the speak
er thought the boy question would be
! solved merely by prohibiting boys
from selling papers. Mr.. Hall said he
sided. asked whether he recognized no
difference between boys who sold
papers on the streets and those who
delivered them on routes. Mr. Hall
mated two bad features: that of ir-
regular income aid the lack of adult
supervision.
Judge Milton Strasburger said that
many of the evils described as existing
in New York. did not apply in Wash
| ington. He said boys are not allowed
| in saloons here. that the use of drugs
among Washington ne.wsboys is almost
unknown. that gambling is on the
wane and that the compulsory educa
ton law guarded against absence from
school

We're allowed to go away from here
thinking the conditions outlined exist
in Washington he said. Il do not be-
lieve boys here get badges without
their parents permission. Boys between
fourteen and sixteen are not compelle ed
tc go to school, and in a city like
Washington employment sometimes is
hard to find
Mr.. Hall suggested that cripples and
other persons who could not earn a
| living otherwise might be permitted to
sell papers.
