A Great Battle

However. Mr.. Lewis and the brave
soldier put up a great little scrap. but
the welterwe.ght champ was in better
racing form. lie outsprinted Bartfeld
in five of the six rounds. and when hs
tired the soldier slipped him some hefty
walops, which made Ted more fstigued
Bar.field made an excellent showing
despite his awkwardness. and his garri-
son finish earned him a draw. Lewis
had the better of the early rounds, but
too much sprinting almost proved fatal
Ted Kid played the hit and run, and Il
seemed 10 be as effective as using that
sign in a no-hit no-run baseball game,
But in justice to the boxers we must
admit that they tried hard, and Bartfeld
in particular was busy every minute
of the time. We gotta hand 1t TO them
they put up great performance and
deserve boost instead of slam.

Franchini Is Good

BY far the best bout of the cve-
ming was the semiwind-up, which brought
together Phil Franchni and Joe Men,
dell. From start to finish It was
strenuous, scintl,ating and sensational
scrap and pleased every one except the
Smilers, who rooted hard for Mendell.
The newsboy champ finished a poor Sec
ond.
Franchini once was disguised as Phil
wagner and did some good work over in
New York. He was anxious to make a
good showing here, but tried too hard
He hits well from any angle, has a nice
left jab and his right cross is beauty
He handed Mendell a sweet lacing. but
Joe took it like a little man and came
back for more. Mendell. by the way
showed up better last night than in any
Of his other fights. despite the fact
he was trimmed. He looks like good
boy and the Smlers may pick VIM
ner yet if they stick closely to him.

Too Much Expected

Perhaps we were taking ourselves tco
seriously, or rather, We were taking
Ouimet and Travers too seriously, for
do not think that the rest of US really
hoped in the bottom of our hearts for
much more than a good showing. But
there was a tendency, to state it mildly,
TO think that because Ouimet had beaten
Nardon and Ray in America and TraYers
had sailed triumphantly through several
of our national championships that either
or both had a good chance Of defeating
the best Britons on their own courses.
We were reasoning from the wrong
premises all through. Five rounds, all
thirty-six holes except possibly one, and
a god draw at home were one thing, and
eleven rounds, ten at eighteen holes
against plus men in Britain were de-
cidedly another.

GROUND FROZEN AGES AGO
Scientific Explanations of Fact Which
Has Puzzled Miners Who Have
Worked In Alaska.

Miners and biologists familiar with
conditions in Alaska are aware that
In many places the ground in that
country is permanently frozen, ex-
cept on the surface, to a depth Of
200 and even 300 feet. While this has
been popularity attributed to long
continued low temperature in winter,
the interesting theory has recently
been advanced by a scientist that the
condition Is due to far colder
weather that obtained in some pre-
yious age, and that protective vegeta-
ton on the surface has kept the frost
in the ground permanently since then.
1t has been found that when moss
has been cleared away for open-cut
mining or farming. the upper level
of the grounds frost seemed gradually
to descend. If such is the case, it may
show that present temperatures are
not low enough to freeze the ground
to the great depths cited above.-Pop-

ARMY CARS, READY BOXED,
TAKEN BY TRUCK TO COAST

Motor car manufacturers OF De.
troit and the United States army are
cooperating in a huge freight-car
conservation movement, by boxing
motor cars at Detroit, ready for
overseas shipment, and hauling them
on motor trucks to the seaboard.
Thousands OF motor cars and
trucks are being sent to France for
the armys use. Officers are being
provided with cars for use back OF
the lines. Trucks haul food. sup
plies, ammunition, men--everything
that Is TO be moved, both back of the
battle lines and almost up to the
actual fighting front
Since the middle OF last winter,
long trains of these vehicles have
been moving from Detroit to At
lantic seaports on their own wheels
and under their own power Thous-
ands of freight cars have been re-
leased for the transportation of other
army and civilian goods Further
release OF freight cars has been made
by the custom OF boxing motor cars
ready for shipment to France, and
hauling them from Detroit to the
seacoast on the trucks. Hundreds
OF Dodge Brothers cars have been
shipped In this manner, billed direct
from the Detroit works TO the army
in France.
