American Association PIar

Minneapolis. Dec. ia schedule
OF ls4 games for the American Base
Ball association this season was
agreed upon at the meeting of club
owners here tonight. The season
will start May | and end late in Sep

The league magnates decided to
establish a fund to be distributed
as prizes to players of every club
except that which finishes in eighth
place in order to create a keener
rivalry among the teams in the PEN
nant race.
The amount of the fund and how
to collect and distribute it was not

the league, said it would be of suf-
ticient amount to warrant added et-
forts on the part of the players.

Bother Americans.

London, Dec. l5.-American box
ers won five finals in the lightweight
division in the closing bouts of the
rterallied boxing tournament here
last night. The American army team
added four points to its total, while
J the American navy's total was ad-
r9vanced three. The final point stand
\tngs of the American teams were:
Army, SO; navy, 81. The British
army led with 50 points.
While the American army team
tailed to equal the points piled up
by the British army earlier in the
tournament, the surprise of the
meeting was the defeat of Jimmy
Wilde, the English bantam-weight
champion, by Pal Moore of Mem
phis, fighting with the American
navy. Wilde is a favorite here and
the decision was unpopular. J. w.

he was satisfied the decision was
correct.

fianked on one side by the royal
and other boxes, while on the other
side was the magnificent pipe Or
gan. During part of the tournament
a padre, in civilian dress. acted as
I4mekeeper. The Americans were
4naccustomed to the British rules,
frequent warnings from the referee
outside of the ring being necessary,
Many of the Americans had never
seen real prince before, but to-
night they heard a word of praise
from Prince Albert as he bestowed
individual medals on the winners
and THE royal trophy on the British
army team. King George was un-
able to be present because of cold
and he sent Prince Albert to act
in his place. The prince congratu-
lated all concerned and welcomed
the men of the American army and
navy who with perfect co-opera-
ton and good will, adopted Our
boxing rules, to which they were
not accustomed"

Of ST. Paul, and the worlds cham
pion middleweight, won all three Of
the bouts in which he was engaged,

The People Are Saving.

It has been pointed out as evidence
of how strongly the duty of saving had
been impressed upon the English peo-
pic by the war savings campaign III
that country that in the year 1916. al
though purchasing billions of dollars
Of war bonds, the small savings bank
dcpositors in England increased their
deposits in savings banks over 500,
100000, this in face Of the fact that
the English have been noted as a
spending rather than as a saving peo-
pie.
1t seems that similar process has
taken Place IN America Two great
Liberty loans were floatod in the wear
Just closed, and nearly $4,000, 000, 900
0f Liberty loan bonds were purcnas ed
~ the people Yet instead Of theing
depleted the savings banks deposits of
The country have been increased. The
president Of one of the large New York
savings banks is quoted as saving on
December 90, 1917:
Onc of the most rcmar kable things
about the Liberty loan campaigns is
Tie small effect they have had on the
savings banks accounts which show al
/ increase. This we lay to the appeals
made TO the American people to pur
chase the bonds out of their earnings
paving for them from week to week OF
4 from month to month. The people ap
! pear to be doing as they have beer
urged, purchasing the bonds from cur
rent savings.
