"This time, the Gunner will probably
knock Jess out. Back in 1913, as the
record books will prove, the Gunner
outpointed Jess in a twenty round bout
on the Coast. Now he knows the cham

time after the seventh round. or
course, If something should occur that
the Gunner and | hadn't figured on,

We don't know who it was who Sc
lected March l3 as the date for the
hearing on the McCuc boxing bill at
Albany. but it just goes to show the
confidence Of the bills hackers in nam

appropriate?

The iirs< time we ever saw Fred Dyer,
the Australian wcltcrweight champion,
was at the late Les Darcy's training
camp up at Monroe. N. Y, and on that
occasion Fred played the ukclclc most
dvincly, and sang, and acted a couple
of his best pieces. 1t was not until
later that we saw Dyer fight, and then
we didn't know whether it was Frcd's
ukcing or his boxing that pleased us
most. He's a shaggy bear Mt both sports.

Won Bermuth Advances
To Finals in Squash

Oscar Won Bermuth advanced into
the final round in defeating J. l.. Egan
in the handicap squash tennis tourna-
ment at the New York Athletic Club
yesterday. The score was 15-9,
15-11, 15-9.
The match was a hard fought one,
with Won Bermuth playing the steader
game. Egan scored frequently on a
change of pace and hard smashes, but
he was unable to solve Won Bermuth's
cross-court attack. Egan allotted his
rival start of three aces in each
game, and this handicap proved too
much to overcome. Won Bermuth will
now meet Lieutenant James Butler.

Butler
Squash Winner
AT Crescent

Edmund W. Butler, the Crescent
Athletic Club all-around athlete, showed
himself to be quite squash tennis
player in defeating w. J.. Pierce in a
match of the team tourney on the
Half Moon courts yesterday. Butler
was forced to play at his best, the
match going to three games by score
of 15-5, lib, 17-16.
Pierce was exceedingly erratic in his
driving in the first game, with the re-
suit that Butler, using change Of
pace and hard smashing, counted his
aces quickly. However, in the second
game Pierce turned the tables after
a fight for every point. The men con-
tinued their hard playing in the third
game, which Pierce set at 13 all.
Butler was the stcadier player in the
extra game of five aces and by 8 points
to won the game and match
Eddie P. Cypiot, another of the
Crescent star athletes, won his matches
over j. II. keenan, by score Of 15-1,
15-l2. Cypiot showed an improve
ment in his play, mixing his game up
considerably and using a smashing
trout wall "llill" effectively.

spending some money and improving
them. they could be let for a good
deal more.
In towns where civic improvement
ideas are being vigorously pushed,
some astonishing transformations of
property are being made. Old ram
shackle buildings that seemed about
to tumble down are spruced up with
new paint and paper. and they look
usrprisingly well and bring good
prices.
The high cost of building gives al
most any kind OF a structure some
value. In its poorly kept condition 1t
seems as if it was not worth spending
money upon. Yet commonly 1t Is
seen that the framework is sound. and
that with exterior and interior repairs
II can be put in good shape for many
years and at a total cost far less than
building new.
People are becoming used TO living
in smaller quarters. In many places
structures once used as barns and
storchOuscs. which had become an
eyesore to the neighborhOod, are be
ing fitted up for apartments. If the
thing IS done tastcfully, the result Is
surprisingly good. The cost is low
and people get homes for a moderate
rental.
A run down building is a handicap
to a towns advance. 1t makes a
whole ncighborhood look poverty
stricken and slovenly. People who
are naturally slack are encouraged
by it's proximity to allow their own
places to become disordcrly. The
moment such n building Is frightened
up and improved. the ncighbors be.
gin to feel that they also must clear
up and paint up to keep pace with the
! change.

TO SPEED UP THE WAR WORK
United States Must Rush Troops, Sup

E. M. House.

Washington, Jan. g. American
troops are to be rushed to Europe in
as large and as constant a stream as
is humanely possible.
The allied nations will so arrange
their shipping as to provide the nee
essary transports.
The merchant shipbuilding program
must be rushed. There is to be closer
cooperation of all the co-belligerents
to present a single and united front
to German autocracy.
The part of the United States has
been clearly defined and arrange
ments made to carry it out.
These are the principal results, as
they affect America, of the recent in
ter-allied war council in Paris, an
nounced today for the first time by
the State Department.
Those recommendations, made by
the American delegates, of which Col
onel E. H. House, President Wilson's
personal representative, was the
head, are the results of the great
council of heads of all the co-bellig-
erents.
