RIVERSIDE CLUB
ON LOSING END
Too Many Bouts on New Ha-
ven Card Last Monday
Sets Reina & Co. Back.

Too much in boxing is almost as
fatal from a box office standpoint as
too little of it. The proof of this
statement was furnished the other
night, when Vincent Reina, the New
Haven promoter, by offering five IL
round bouts to decisions, endeavored
to draw the fans from their cooling
places. Every bout presented the
their ability all over the country, but
it was too much.
The management lost money, for
not more than 5000 people turned
out to see the bouts. 1t wasn't the
warm weather that caused the dis
appointment, but the fact that there
was too much arranged for. A box
ing fan is a peculiar cuss. When he
pays his money to see fights he
wants to see all that are carded. If
he is obliged to get out before the
finish of the final event he feels that
he has not received his moneys
worth.
1t takes four full hours, time be-
tween bouts not being considered, to
run five IL round bouts. In New Ha-
ven particularly, the spending of SO
much time at boxing is not desired
by the patrons, since the majority
come from nearby towns. They have
their last trains to get, and that last
car would be gone were the fan to
sit and wait for the last round of the
last fight. Rather than run the
chance of thinking he is going to miss
something he pays for the fan just
stays at home and misses everything
Another thing, when such a card
as Reina presented the other night
is offered, the fans have their suspi-
cions. They believe that there is
something wrong, or that all will MOI
be gone through as arranged. In tha'
deduction they were right the othel
evening, berause one of the five bout:
was called off, the one between Joe
Lynch and Al Shubert, because Lynch
claimed that Shubert was over
weight.
The boxing fan is something
takes a wise promoter to understand

SMALLEST SOLDIER IS
FORMER GLASGOW BOY
John E. Parry, Formerly Employed by
Local Electrical Firm, Smallest
Soldier at Camp Grant-Weighs
only SO Pounds.

We are indebted to C. O. Knight,
formerly proprietor of the knight
Electric Ship in this city for the story
here reproduced. 1t will be remem-
bered that John Parry was in the
employee of Mr.. Knight for some time
and made many friends in Glasgow
during his stay here. The story is
clipped from the Chicago Gazette:
Considerable newspaper space has
been devoted during the last month to
Camp Grants giant, but now a mid
get has been discovered in the army
city, who is no less interesting. He
is Corp. John E. Parry, 161st depot
brigade headquarters.
Corporal Parry is four feet, eve
and three-quarters inches tall and
weighs only SO pounds. He wears No.
/ boys size shoes. Camp Grants gi-
ant wears 1914 double E shoes and
is six feet and six inches tall. The
corporal is twenty-five years old. His
home is in Minneapolis, MIMI, where
he was in charge of the coasting de-
partment of the Minneapolis Street
Railway company. He came to Camp
Grant six weeks ago with an incre-
ment of limited service men.
The corporal was assigned to the
headquarters company of the depot
brigade and given clerical duties. He
has won the respect of his comrades,
who say that what he lacks in avoir-
dupois is more than balanced in in
tellect.
