QUESTION BOX BRINGS
INTERESTING EVENING

A good audience last night listened
to Bruce Brown as lie told of the pow
er an influence of the Bible over
the lives of men. An interesting fea-
ture Of the meetings each evening is
the "Question BoX," through which the
evangelist reaches the problems of
his hearers. Last night he answered
the question "How shall l get rid of
doubt?" In a forceful way he told
how, by reading the Word of God,
ty activity in good works and by
prayer, any man may overcome his
doubts.
Tonight Dr. Brown will bring one
Of his best messagese, "Certainties in
Religion" and he especially invites
any who may have any intellectual
difficulties in the way of Christian
faith.
The services will begin with a
splendid spirited song service and Miss
Georgia Watkins will sing a solo. The
entertainment by Mr.. Brooks will be-
gin late enough for the public to en-
joy both the evangelist and the lee
turer.

AMERICAN SEA HEROES
COMING HOME RICH
By J. w. Pegler


London, Feb. (By maiD-Three
American sea heroes are sailing home
with $4,000 and the formal thanks of
a British salvage court as their re-
ward for one of the most courageous
exploits in British maritime history.
They are Bob Ferguson of San Fran
cisco, and Tom Welch and John Smith
of the U. S. A.
By sudden impulse they pledged
themselves to stand by one another
and the seagoing tug Vigilant of New
York. Battling one of the fercest
gales the Atlantic has ever known,
the trio refused all aid and brought
their doughty but badly punished craft
safe into Cardiff.
Ferguson told his story to the Unit
ed Press as he left the salvage court
hearing man of independent means.
"We ran into a rough patch of
weather soon after leaving New York
October 49," he said. at made us
dodge into Halifax for a day, but we
reached st. Johns on the 18th. That
very afternoon we sailed again, with
Captain Ince and crew of sixteen.
| was second officer.
"We had dirty weather from the
start. But as the days passed our
coal grew lighter and we rolled more
and more. Four days this lasted.
Then, 800 miles off the Irish coast,
Captain Ince wirelessed for help.
Queenstown replied that patrol boat
was coming, but she never did find
us. Meanwhile we put cut distress
signals and sighted a vessel about two
miles off. She never even hesitated.
"On Sunday, the 29th, we ran into
the fiercest gale 1 have ever expert
enced in all my years of seafaring.
Captain Ince was afraid we would
turn turtle so he signaled the Holland
American liner Dyndam for help and
gave the order to abandon ship.
81 didn't want to quit, 81 l went
to get volunteers to save the tug.
There l found the crew dressed in
their shore clothes, with life preserv-
ers under their coats.
"They gave me the big laugh
thought was kidding. I passed them
up and went into the ergine room.
There was Welch getti,.g ready to
leave.
81 looked him straight in the eye.
'Welch,' l said, you told me yester-
day you were no barroom sailor.
Now's your chance to prove it, He
didn't say anything, just stuck out
his hand and we shook. Then we got
Smith and the three of us told the
captain we were eoing to stick.
"The Ryndam came tumbling along.
Captain Ince and the rest went off
in a boat still calling us fools and
the last we saw of the liner passen-
gers were at her rails giving us last
cheer.
"Welch went down to the engines,
omlCn TOOK care OF the 1lreS ana |
took the bridge. We had no food; l
just chewed tobacco. AT last we
sighted the Scotch vessel, Flying Fox,
which sent us six men to repair a
breakdown in our steering gear. Aft
Ell that it was comparatively easy to
reach Cardiff"
Ferguson made just as hard fight
for his salvage. The ship owners
wanted to give him $1,000 and an in
scribed gold watch and $500 to each
Of the seamen. Ferguson replied
Nothing doing" and fought his case
III court.
He received $12,5OO and Welch and
Smith $6,5OO each.

Palm Beach, Fla, March G. Heavyweight wrestlers and pugilists will have to look to their laurels shortly. Charles Kid Mccoy is the au- thOrity for this statement, or at least he is being quoted as saying so. The man he has in mind is Henry Elion- sky, the famous long distance swim mer. For some time Mccoy has been coaching Henry in the finer points of boxing and says that the husky young swimmer should make corking good man in a long distance battle. Elionsky will never make clever boxer. but .shouuld make good slugger. He has a heavy wallop, can assimilate punishment and has won- derful lung capacity. Elionsky has also taken up wrestling, and right now it would take good class man to throw him. Henry likes the mat game and may take it up instead of the art of fisticuffs. Elionsky is not going to give up the swimming game right away. but intends to engage in a number of long distance races this
 summer and hopes to establish some

HERzIE'S ARRIVAL
 COMPLETES SQUAD.
Aviator Joins Clan McGraV, But
 Too Late for Work

Marlin. Tex, March 6.-Charles Herzog. the last of the Clan McGraw to report for training, reached camp late yesterday afternoon, looking fit and tanned as a result of the winter spent in Florida Herzog did not ar rive in Marlin in time to join the, squad at practice, but wen to work this morning. Aviation, which he took up at St. Petersburg during the winter, playing ball and swimming daily. served to keep him in fine con- dition. He has little, if any, weight to take off. ?
 The weather yesterday was fair, but a chilly breeze swept the field for the greater part of the day and forced the players to keep hustling all the time to keep warm. A five inning game was played in the forenoon,
 while the afternoon was given over to batting practice and a stiff workout
 for the infielders.
 In the absence of Herzog Kilduff played second base during the fielding practice, with Holke on first, Flet- cher at short and Zimmerman at third. Fletcher and Zimmerman are. as might be expected, a trifle stih
 after the winter layoff, but at that they fielded their positions in fine shape and whipped the ball around
 with an abundance of pep. In the outfield Burns and Robertson joined Benny Kaur in chasing long flies and | laced the ball to the far corners of i the lot in batting practice.

JOHNSTON BOYCOTTED
Gibson, Pollok and Lewis Join Hands in Agreement to Keep Their Boxers
 8Fyi 5+y Away From Garden Ring. x


 New York. March 6.-Another load was yesterday placed on the back of the overburdened boxing camel in the, shape of boycott against Jimmy Johnston, the newly appointed match maker of the Garden. The leaders in this latest move are Billy Gibson, manager of Bennie Leonard and liar ry Pollok, manager of Freddie Welsh. These two Queensberry impresarios served notice on Grant Hugh Browne. lessee of the Garden. that neither Leonard nor Welsh would be per- mitted to box in the Garden while Johnston was the matchmaker. Nate Lewis, manager of Charley White, al i, though 8 Western man, is also aligned with the boycotters, although he had given Browne to understand that he might recede from the position. tA
 Browne told the boycotters that he had engaged Johnston as matchmak- CT and that if they did not care to do business with him they could put their champions and near champions in camphor cloths and keep them there.
 Browne was emphatic in the as- sertion that he would not have any, thing further to do with the match- making at the Garden. and that Johnston would have to assume the entire burden and responsibility.
 Although Johnston made matches for the Garden under a previous res zine that netted the. lessees profit of $1OO, ,0O0, he has never been popq- lar with the managers or the gener1c run of fight followers for the reasoa that he objected to giving exorDitaps nurses to boxers and was sparing IT llist tributfon of free tickets. Theee tactics resulted to the advantage N the lessees, but they embittered tAe hangerson of the game. Hence the boycott. .lssr
