1t makes no difference which way the

From the present outlook Coach Geer
will have clear claim to the scholastic
championship of this section. However
such tutor as Frank Geer would hardly
favor such a victory without conquest
and therefore. as do the majority Of the
Catholic High School students, hopes
that varsity football will be permitted
to continue in the public high schools.

HELP FUND FOR RETURNED
WOUNDED SOLDIERS AND GO
TO WHITEMARSH SUNDAY
Evans JONES' Travers and Marston Play in Exhibition
Match-If You Cannot Co. Send Check
to T. H. Haton
By WILLIAM H. EVANS

n FEW days ago a train of five cars
"A pulled into railroad station. On
the platform alongside were score of
women. They had baskets filled with
chicken sandwiches, fruit and bottles of
milk One of the rules is that they
are not permitted to enter cars, but
must hand the dainties through the car
windows. But these cars were not filled
with cheering soldiers on their way to
an embarkation camp or with rockies
en- route for training camps.
Every one Of those five cars was filled
with wounded soldiers who had just re-
turned from France, and every one
of them was SO seriously wounded that
he could not leave the car, SO the women
who are doing such splendid work en-
tered the car, and then they got the
first real shock and the grimness of the
big war slapped them in the face.
One of the first men they saw was an
officer in compartment with both
legs gone. Inside the cars were men
with legs or arms missing, with heads
bound and swathed in bandages, and
on one of the hunks of the sleeping cars
was one thin. wan chap. who Is suffer-
ing from shell shock. One of the cars
was made up entirely of tuburcular SOL
diers on their way to Arizona. Not a
man in any of the first cars was able
to move around.
Here's a Real, Genuine Charity
Next Sunday four of the most famous
amateur golfers in the country will play
an exhibition match at the Whitemarsh
Valley Country Club for the benefit of
the returned wounded soldiers. These
men are being rushed across the sea
just as fast as the ships will carry them
Most of them will arrive here virtually
penniless. as it will be impossible for the
pay department to keep in touch with
them and it may be weeks or months
before their pay will reach them.
Most Of them will be sent to hospitals
where 'theH will get the best of care.
But they will need a lot of delicacies
and some of them who are not so badly
hurt will be able to enjoy the pleasures
of a smoke. Mrs. Grantland Rice Is the
head of a committee which Is raising a
fund to do the things the Government Us
not able to do. Every cent taken IN
Sunday at Whitemarsh will go to this
fund.
The fuel administration has given the
club permission to run motor buses to
and from the station to the club. Those
who do not come by train to Chestnut
Hill can reach the links by taking the
City line car on Germantown avenue
and by leaving it at the terminus; a
short walk will bring them to the third
tee.
Every golfer who has father. son
or relative in the big fight as patriotic
duty ought to go 10 Whitemarsh next
Sunday, even at the greatest personal
Inconvenience, Here is an opportunity
to. do some real patriotic A'ork
But If you cannot go TO Whitemarsh

send a check to Thomas II. Halton.

ure of Benny Leonard, the lightweight

Johnson's protege, the referee stopping
the fight in the twelfth round with only
eight seconds to go, in sensational
battle. at st. Louis in the latter part
Of 1916.
Both Johnson and Thorpe have a
great tribute to pay to Lew Tender the
local southpaw. They each claim that
he can defeat Benny Leonard in a six
round tilt, and Thorpe, who has fought
them both. even goes so far as to say
that Tender is a much harder hitter
than the lightweight ruler. Thorpe

1t all happened in the hfth round,
and around that heel of the left shoe we
found the reason for Pierce's ability to
,inger for the regulation distance. Benny
was using the ring freely when he
started the fifth. Once he applied too
much pressure to the heel of his left
foot and the heel tore loose from its
moorings. Benny trpped and stumbled
until he found the reason. then slowed
down and felt his way very, very eau
tiously.
Benny differed from the bike riders in
that he failed to bring along a new
set of tires. He tried to send the Of
Tending piece of footwear back into
place. but it refused to remain fastened.
| All through the last round Benny gave
an exhibition of toe dancing that would
| have done justice to any stage artist.
| He was all over his man, but unable to
get the proper power behind the punch.
Pierce Was Pierced
Pierce gave game exhibition. He
tasted varied display of punches, hooks
! and wallops combined. His head was
visited often with short rights, and his
nose took so many lefts that it was
| knocked northwest before one round was
| over.
Few of the ring sharps present gave
! the aged one chance. Charley Heet
generously allowed him three rounds
DR. G. W. Wittmaier conceded him foul
and as for former Governor Stuart, wht
was at the .'ingside, he seemed to thinl
that Pierce was the limit
| Pierce used the few hairs whicl
adorned his headpiece to stop many o
the punches Doubtless this style of de
fense hastened the retreat of natures
head covering.
The veteran was battered along FOL
four fast rounds. His best effort wa
in the first, when he caught Benny oi
the cheekbone with wild swing, which
startled the king. Benny replied witt
some nice punches, In the fifth ief
