Weeks.
lBy II. C. Hamiltonl

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Al Mccoy
started two mans sized fights today.
He proved he has the nerve II moth
ing else accompanies him into his
battles.
First Of all. he started bout with
the New York Boxing commission, in
which he hopes to force Grant Hugh
Brown to stage a DarcyMcCoy match
next Monday night in Madison Square
Garden. Then he declared his readi-
ness to begin fuss with Jack Dill
lon tonight and said he was going to
show the people around this town
that Dillon, while he may be a giant
killer, can't nick OF a middleweight
champion with no ceremony. There
fore, he expects to whip Dillon. there
by wrecking Browns show and then
force Brown to live up to contract.
Dillon is In town and he's In shape.
And that's saying a lot for Dillon.
When he's in shape there are few
boxers who care to take a chance
in . squared circle with the hoosier
demon. Dillon did three weeks train
ing for a twenty round encounter at
New Orleans with Gunboat Smith and
no came up with victory. He has
kept at his training faithfully since
then with the result that he is In
excellent shape.

Return Match to be Played at the
Local Association Gym
nasium, March
Ninth.
DEFEATED AT QUINCY
Local Squad Went Down With Only
One Week Of Practice-Are
Better Prepared
Now.

The Y. NJ. c. A. team will play the
Quincy Maroons, one of the fastest
teams in this territory, a return
game at the local gymnasium Friday
night. March 9.
The Maroons who have been play
ing for the last seven years, recently
defeated the "Y" team at Quincy,
which has been the case every year
in the past four years. The Quincy
team has. however, met defeat at
keokuk. The Maroon's lineup has in
il the very best basket shooters and
players to be found in Quincy, and
years of work together has made
their team work revelation. Their
lineup consists of H. Heidbreder,
captain. Meyer, C. Merkle, A. Merkle
and WITCH. They are all phenomenal
shots.
The Y. NJ. CA. team this year is
composed of Charles King, captain,
Paul King. Bernard. Merriam, L. H.
Smith, Charles Allen, Dan McQuoid,
Howard Wygle and Leslie Vaughan.
The team has been organized five
years and has never been defeated
OF the home floor. 1t remains to
be seen whether the Maroons can
spoil the record of this fact bunch with
a defeat, or whether the basketball
record of these two teams will go
down in history as a perpetual
check" the teams breaking even
each season. This will likely be the
last game Of the Y team.
In the game at Quincy last Friday,
the Keokuk team was clearly out
classed, having only gotten together
one week before the big game. In
the return game here, however, they
will have been through hard siege
of practice scrimmages, and will be
in shape to give the Maroons drub
bling, as in the days of yore.

LOST CROWN LAST YEAR

Tyrus Cobb, the super-man OF base.
ball, will make the supreme EFFORT OF
his career to regain his batting lauI-
els this season.
Only those who are close to the
great Detroit outfielder and VINO
have watched him perform, season
after season, realize the keen as
appointment which came to him last
fall when he was compelled to re-
move his batting crown and hand 1t
to his bosom friend-Tris Speaker.
Cobb had led the American league
for nine consecutive seasons. HIS
ambition was to lead it for a decade.
He failed and as he is now more
than thirty years old-and certainly
not quite as fast as he was three
years ago-there is virtually no
chance that he can lead his league
for span of ten years.
But Cobb, one Of the gamest ball
players that ever lived, Is going to
try. He has spent the winter In the
open, keeping his nerves steady, MS
body strong and his eyes clear. He
already has told Manager Jennings
, that he will report with the veterans
at Waxachie. Texas, on March 10
In the past he generally has been the
last player to reach the Detroit train
ing camp. Cobb wants to start the
season under a full head OF steam
he hopes to drive himself from April
until October. He will take chances
on becoming stale, but taking chances

Salesman" fraud has invaded the

near that highly moral but somewhat
damp city was in Waterloo last week
to consult officers in the hope that he
could get back some good money
spent for bad vinegar. The scheme Is
this: A smooth salesman calls at the
house and with sly wink says he has
some fine vinegar" to sell. He pulls
a jug out of his car or buggy to allow
the thirsty farmer to sample It He
samples, pronounces It fine whisky

A COMMENTED CITY.
Features Of Adelaide, In
Australia.

National Geographic Magazine:
Adelaide's unusual plaza business
section surrounded by zone Of 1000
acres Of park lands, beyond which are
the residential sections-seems de-
signed to put business cares, recrea-
ton and quiet home life In separate
compartments. The organization of
city life to allow for leisure feel
ing more prevalent in Adelaide than
in Melbourne, or even in Sydney, and
almost unknown in American cities
is responsible for the universal i'm
preston among visitors that Ade-
laide ranks high in general culture
Both climate and the high quality of
the South Australian pioneers are al
SO factors which have helped to make
Adelaide such desirable place of resi-
dence. Those who are attracted by
the climate, people and manner Of life
of the foothill cities of southern Cali
fornia, who care for out-of-door life
and flowers and fruit. and wish to
spend week-ends in nearby mountains
or at the seashore. would feel at home
in Adelaide.
Most writer's on Australia profess to
see differences In types and manners
in the three leading cities of the CON-
monwealth, and the natives feel sure
that differences exist Melbourne is
''hustling;" Sydney Is "easy-going; /"
Adelaide is solid" and "contented."
On the basis of short acquaintance
these Characterization seem as un.
real as dead" Philadelphia or "pro-
vinciar' Boston would to an Austral-
ian traveller. In the American sense,
no Australian city is hustling; all are
easy-going and contented; all are do
ing much business In an orderly Ell.
cient manner. AS places for resi-.
dences, they have few competitors
among the cities OF the United States.
