the round was about to end Corbett NJ ct
Sullivan's rush by planting a solid left
into the champions stomach.
ROUND THREE
Sullivan opened the round by rush
ing but Corbett dueked out of range
Sullivan rushed again. Corbett started
to ran and then turned around and
caught Sullivan in the stomach with
left-hander. Sullivan landed a left on
Corbett's back as the Californian
turned around, but Corbett at once re-
taliated with two hard punches to the
stomach The Californian was passing
up all chances to hit Sullivan in the
face and was aiming his attack solely
upon the champions stomach. Corbett
was letting Sullivan do all the rush
ing but toward the end of the round
every time that Sullivan got near, Cor
bett planted a left in the champions
stomach. BY beautiful ducks and side
steps Corbett got out of the way of
several vicious 1eft-handers to tbs
BODY, and two fearful swings for the
jaw.
ROUND FOUR
Sullivan, as usual, opened with a
rush but it was the same old story.
Every time he swung CorbGft was out
OF range. sullivan made .%other rush,
then stopped suddenly and Corbett. who
seemed to anticipate such an action,
shot right to the champions face.
sullivan rushed Corbett to the ropes
and figured he had the Californian cor
nered. The champion tented two or
three times for territory to lead. As
he swung a powerful right, Corbett
quickly ducEed out of the way and Sui
ivan hit nothing but empty air. Sui
Ivan came in at Corbett whereupon
Jim tapped John on the nose. Sullivan
rushed again and was met with a
straight left in the mouth Corbett
Followed UP this by planting right
handler in Sulliyans ribs. The cham
plon rushed again and was met with %
left to the stomach. Corbett had started
to open up. The two men were fiddlfng
IN the center of the ring when the gong
sounded
ROUND THREE
Corbett met Sullivan's rush with a
stiff left-hander to the face Sullivan.
Infatuated, swung right-hander with
all his might for Corbetts jaw but the
nlmble Californian backed away and
then as Sullivan was setting himself
for right-hand swing, Corbett sent
a powerful left jab to the champions
nose. The blood gushed forth. Cor
hett followed up his advantage with
three more lightning jabs to the bleed
ing nose The champion rushed but
Corbett met him with a stiff left jab
on the mouth. Every rush of Sulli-
vans through the rest of the round
brought him nothing but left jabs on
his blood smeared face. The kissing at
Corbett had ceased; the crowd at last
was satisfied that Corbett intended to
fight and when the round was over

Barons Wednesday at
Redwood

1.-THE entire student body of Howard

game to be played Wednesday when
Captain Jackson chaperones his youth
full cohorts out to Fleetwood park to
face the Barons," said Manager Charles
Martin "They are counting on tho
team to make a creditable showing,
and are anxious to see how this years
machine will show up under fire.
"The bombardment that the team
will probably be subjected to will not
be taken as a final test of its ability.

preparation for the gruelling college
schedule which opens on the campus
April 2, 8 and with the Admission

worry. But the mechanics got busy
and located the trouble and now she
is hitting on all four cylinders.
mo lineup for the game Wednesday
has been announced, but 1t is almost
certain that Martin will start in the
box, with Shinn catching. Martin has
taken the lead in training and appears
to be in midseason form. Shinn is the
best catcher Howard has had since the
days of Slick Tisdale.
Duke is leading the candidates for
first base and will probably start the
game there. Griffin has had but little
opposition at second. Red Head Walker
or Prof. Day will play short with
Sergent or Stout Price at third.
"The selection of the outfielders will
be more difficult, with such men as
Captain Jackson, Carr. Walker. Rec

to have smooth fielders and consistent

April 2, and 4, Admission Preds on

Washington, Aug. IA shortage OF
100000 unskilled workers in war in
dustries is shown in incomplete re-
ports to the department of labor's fed
eral employment service, which today
took over the recruiting of this class
of labor for war industries employing
a maximum force of one hundred or
more persons. Final reports, it was
announced, are expected to show a
shortage of one million workers.
Coal Mining War Work.
War industry was defined in the
announcement as tine manufacture of
products or erection of structures di-
rectly or indirectly supplied to some
departments of the government for
use in connection with the war" Coal
mining was classified as wholly wa
work.
Must Get Own Labor.
"While they will be protected from
recruiting by other industries, rail-
roads and farms must obtain their un-
skilled labor by other means than
thru the federal employment service -
the announcement said.
Washington. Aug. 1.-Recruiting of
unskilled labor was taken over by the
federal government today as a war
measure under an agency of the de-
partment of labor designated as the
United States employment service.
shortages OF unSkilled labor, reported
from many sections of the country. are
expected to be alleviated by the plan
put into operation today whereby nom
essential industries will be required to
contribute certain classes of labor for
the industries engaged in war work.
In the operation of the system, the
government recruiting the labor from
community to community and from in
dustry to industry, will be obviated
wasteful labor turnover be largely
eliminated and wages will be stabilized.
Handle Labor Like Army Draft.
le The employment service, of which
John B. 'Densrnore has been named
director general. will work thru state
boards, which in turn will control
laboy thru community boards. Ma
chinery of the service has been re-
modelled largely on the plan of the or
ganization utilized in administering the
selective service act.
Government recruiting will apply
| only to unsl<illed labor. Regulations
are being formulated whereby it will
be possible to extend the system to the
recruiting of skilled labor. All private
agencies for the recruitil of labor are
prohibited.
The understanding, cooperation and
good will of the American people are
called on to aid in making the system
