In Happy Cuba
TO the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The tribune.
Sir: Owing to the fact that Cuba Is now an
ally of this wonderful country and is doing
all she possibly can to help the United
States win this war OF democracy and free
dom. il seems TO the writer that the liberty
loving people of this "land of the free and
home of the brave" will be interested in
knowing that revolutionary airs have stopped
blowing in the pearl OF the Antilles and
that prosperity and happiness now rule.
Everybody in Cuba to-day seems satisfied
and sontented. The drum Of instruction has
practically stopped beating; the banner OF
peace trumphantly waves.
However, in the midst Of all this happi-
ness, there Is still a note Of sadness whose
echo reaches the Utmost ibres of the human
heart. General Jose Miguel Gomez former
President of Cubal and his son, the brave
and promising young Cuban lawyer, Miguel
Mariana. are still political prisoners. For
months they have been confined in Jail; for
months they have been separated from those
they love, and now that both Conserva-
tives and Liberals are understanding each
other and forgetting their past differences
and animosities, as lovers Of justice and
right we sincerely believe the time has come
when President Menocal and the Cuban
government should pardon and set free ex-
President jose Miguel Gomez and his son.

Harlem Coke Makes Foot

Entire Ten Rounds
By W. 0. M'GEEHAN

Joe yelling, the wonderfully willing
outfought Leo Johnson, the Harlem
Coke. in all of ten rounds at the Har-
lem Sporting Club last night.
The Harlem Coke spent most of the
evening scampering about the ring like
a black jackrabbit with his tail up.
yelling closed in on him deliberately
and scientifically, doing about all OF the
fighting.
The Harlem Coke easily covered the
full Marathon distance running back
ward in the first five rounds. Toward
the last he varied his defence by wrap
ping himself in his long black arms.
Johnson fought purely defensive bat
tie.
Close Call for Leo
In the tenth round yelling sent two
into the Coke's midriff. Leo doubled up
like a lack knife. and his white teeth
cleaned as he gssped. At the gong
Johnson was clinging to yelling with
the vigor of leech. In the sixth round
Johnson put his first mark on yelling.
While running backward the Coke
swung a wild right which raised a slight
lump over Welling's eye.

ter Johnson; a greyhound couldn't
have caught up with the Coke as he
retreated. He walked to him and
landed Clearly and well.
If Johnson is another Joe Cans. then
Paddy Donnelly is president of tho
Standard Oil Company and John the
Barber is Car Of Russia. The un-
easy shade of old Joe Cans must have
poured a lot of tears into the StyN

On the other hand, Johnson is not
going TO knock anybody out. lie uses
his fists TO cover his own jaw, and for
that purpose exclusively.
While yelling did not show his
usual aggressiveress, he fought an in

In the lower bracket your humble
correspondent doesn't mind admitting
he was extremely fortunate, not to say
lucky, to win from Don Parker, of Gar

raw and horny hand of fate that
steered a twenty-foot putt into the
cup on the 10th kept us in the tourna-
ment, Parker at that time being ! up
and only two inches from the cup for
his 4.
Lou Hamilton got the jump on his
Sleepy Hollow rival and was up at
the fourth, but fine 3 on the 420-yard
fifth gave Maxwell new start, and
from that point on they were never

Two Coal Bunkers
The galleries took on the aspect of a
couple of coal bunkers when Leo john

the Harlem Coke's admirers composed
most of the loose male population of
135th Street.
There were few amusing interludes
when men who had paid for box seats
were beaned by indignant ushers and
thrown under the seats. One man
reached the seat his ticket called for,
but was discovered and quickly evicted.
In the opener Al Ross, Lily White

Panatella. into seventeen different
kinds Of bowknots.
In the second bout Kid Clark and
Young Johnson, both denizens of the
Harlem coal belt, did a Langford and

Fred Jacks stopped Joe Murphy just
before the bell tapped the end of
Round 3.
Phil Franchini danced and wres-
tied six rounds in the semi-fnal, with
Kid Goodman. a substitute. Franchini
was the better Walter by far. Good
