value of the plant unless they received $4,000
each year from the sale of gas in Richmond.
MIN Johnson, superintendent of the gas plant here,
testified before the Commission and that the gas
company sold 325 900 cubic feet of gas in year

What would you have done, Mr. Gas Consumer,

Had Bavis granted this outrageous increase of 20c

Winner Holy CrossL Lyceum
Road Run Supposedly
German Professional
BY A. c. CAVAGNARO

The wool apparently again has been
pulled over the eyes OF the registra-
tion committee of the Metropolitan
Association of the Amateur Athletic
Union. When the body meets next
week it will be called upon to investi-
gate the most peculiar case that has
come under its jurisdiction in many
years.
This unique case developed AT the
recent novice road run Of the Holy
Cross Lyceum. which ended in row
and the Withholding of all prizes. One
Of the competitors was NJ. Bohland. a
German, who was decorated with a
handkerchief about his neck and a
wrist watch, under which was a piece
of chewing gum. These little conve-
niences are sported by all athletes in
road races in the majority of Euro
pean countries.
While the large field of runners was
bflHk An'Nhfd III NJ lHe NluDnOuSt Int
rangy Bohland hid himself away in
an obscure corner to escape the eye
of the athletes. However, his unusual
appearance attracted considerable at
tention, particularly of one of the
judges, who picked the "greenhorn"
out as the winner of the race.
As il turned out, Bohland spread
eagled" his field. taking the lead early
and winning at the end by more than
six city blocks. He was barely pant
ing at the end. after the fve-mile
journey. Bohland speaks very little
English, German accent being very
pronounced when he talks. Bohland is
bricklayer by trade, and one of his
working mates proposed him for mem
bershin in one of the local big clubs

night in the main ten-round bout at
the Clermont Sporting Club, in Brook
lyn. Although outweighed by seven

Harvey seemed groggy as he faced the
storm of jabs, hooks and swings that
Callahan threw his way.
Eight of the ten rounds were easily
Callahan's, with Harvey earning the
honors in only two, but the latter
proved his gameness by wading in con-

Providence. r. l., May 3l.-Brown
University plans to continue football
and other sports when college reopens
in the fall, carrying out the pollcy
adopted soon after war was declared
of conducting the university courses
in military preparedness.
Professor Frederick ". Marvel, d.
rector of athletics, says:
"If athletics are good for the stu
dent in times of peace, they are
hundredfol,. more valuable in times
of war Brown did not cancel its
baseball or track schedules this
spring, and has no cause to regret its
action.
Everything in the way of military
training along lines of sanitation,
engineering, tactics and drill has been
offered the students, and yet time
was found for healthy outdoor sport
on the ball field and track without
interfering in any way. Football
should prove most important in de-
veloping men for military service. We
expect 10 continue all athletics next

Smith PAINTINGS
now ON DISPLAY

An interesting display Of paintings
Is now housed IN the Pan-Pacific Duild-
Ing, where TWigg Smiths canvasses
are on view for the next ten days.
Smith win leave for New York in about
two weeks to join the battalion Of
American artists who win do their BIT
In France in the near future. Smith
is going entirely at HIS own expense,
and the paintings sold at the exhibi.
ton will send him on his way.
A number Of sketches and paintings
not shown before are hung on the
walls Of the Pan-Pacific building.
Smith spent several months last year
on the island Of Hawaii, and pIen,
tifnl number Of colorful canyasses are
the visible result. Smiths work Is as
ever notable for its color, and for the
sunlit atmosphere which he 30 loves
to paint.
The large drawing Of the Volcano In
charcoal is extremely interesting.
Many oils have been painted OF the
fire and smoke OF the great pit, but
the charcoal as handled by Twigy
Smith proves fully as impressive. A
painting Of the Volcano by night BY
Smith gives vivid realization Of the
fire hues OF Kilauea when the lava is
high In the crater.
The exhibition will be open dafiy
until July 26th from 10 to S O'Clock
and from 7SS0 to 10 each evening.
