CLEAN UP FOR
THREE FIGHTERS

Whoever started the fight last night
at Pennsgrove between Danny Ferguson
one Of Manayunk's scrapplest sons, and
Knt ckOut Baker OF Wilmington, certain
TX started something. The boys were
so earnest about II that the bell at the
end OF the second round meant nothing
TO them, and they didn't stop until the
press OF police and seconds and fans IN
the ring swept them apart.
Finally Referee Johnny Eckhardt got
the ring clear OF everybody except the
two battlers. He held them apart long
enough to warn them that a contlnu-
ance OF their foul tactics would mean
disqualification He might Just as well
have made the speech In Latin for
when he pushed them at each other for
the third round It was Just as much
a back alley quarrel as before lie
gave them a minute and a half to harm
each other In, then released the dupont
guards, six Of wrom finally prled the
two noble athletes apart. ending the af-
fair for the evening as a public spec
tacle.
The referee describes them as going
al each other like wild bulls" hitting
each other on the ropes, above and be-
low the belt, and having no regard for
property. II was the wind-up lght
OF the evening, coming as the climax
TO three knOckouts.
The knookouts were Young Ty Cobb
OF Pensgrove; Soldier Stokes OF Will
mington, and Young Franklin Of Penns-
erOAve, and the knocked out were re-
spectlvely jim McCarty Of Phila. Young
keating Of Pennsgrove, and Ivan Stroe
Of Wilmington. Heating butted the can
vas In the second round, waile Jim and
Ivan lasted until the fourth.
Young Frankle's appearance was his
first. He knocked out Stroh In the
third round, after having floored him
In both the first and second rounds.
Frankie was the sggressor through
out, and his speedy jab had Stroh
bewildered and on the defensive at all
times. Frankie shows all the ear
marks OF a conner, and with a little ex-
perience should make quite a reputa-
tion for himself with the padded mitts

The unfsvorable teather OF the past

take a gun or rod and go when and

isfled with what game they generally
do get this way, there are many who
take pleasure in just seeing what
they can kill, and in most all cases II
inflcts a hardship on the real, true
sportsman, as he Is genarlly the one
that has TO pay the penalty for the
misdeeds OF the pot hunters Look
ing from the viewpoint OF good
sportsman, there Is really only one
good way 20 stop this selnshness and
unlawful way Of hunting and fishing,
and that Is by working hard for the
return Of the Sii0 law. Let's get to-

INTELLIGENCE IN DRIVING JAR
 MEANS SMALL REPAIR COSTS

Ask most any car owner. and he can tell you the cost Of gasoline per mile and he is intensely interested in any suggestion to reduce his expense. He is constantly on the lookout for ideas which will minimize fuel consumption. These take the form of fuel econoniz- CTS, new carburetors, greater attention to car adjustment, care in driving, etc
 If it costs him cents a mile for gasoline, for example, he will welcome a-y device which will enable him to cIt off even a quarter or a half cent.
 ct the ma, ,ority of the most thrifty drivers have neglected to consider re- pair expense in the same way-the idea that it might be possible to cut half a cent a mile off the repair bill by using a little more care will be novel to most owners, yet by reducing the cost to 3 per mile basis the econ
