AN OLD TIME BATTLE.

It was on this date in 1787 that Dabiel Mendoza defeated "Jem the Butcher in seven rounds in England.
 Mendoza was the first of many clever Jews who have adopted fighting as a profession. His first important bout was in 17S4, when he defeated the giant scrapper called Harry the Coal Heaver" After defeating the Butcher he took on Richard Humphries in three bouts, losing one and winning two. His last victory over Hum phries was decisive, and when Ben Brain, the undefeated champion. died

SPORTING NOTES

During the season which has just closed Mattys Reds were most suc- cessful on the home grounds in Gin cinnati, but they had the hardest kind of luck as soon as they entered the arena of any of their opponents. While on their own lot Mathewson's players won more than two-thirds of their contests, but in out of town engage ments they were able to win only one- third of the contests in which they engaged. Of the 70 games played in Cincinnati the Reds won 46 and lost 24. On their opponents grounds they won 22 and lost 36..
 Jack Dempsey is still suffering, morally, from his defeat at the hands of Willie Meehan, the California heavyweight, in four-round bout in San Francisco recently, and his packers are suffering, too. It was a great surprise to the fight fans all over the country to see Dempsey gc down before Meehan, and yet the re- suit must be. considered carefully, Meehan held Dempsey to a draw in a four-round bout year ago, and he is undoubtedly tough man to beat in four rounds. The Californian, ac- cording to the sharps, cannot be oon- sldered a real contender for the cham pionship of the heavyweight division although the San Francisco sailor is a remarkably clever boxer for a big man. It is in the longer bouts that he falls short of championship cali bre, for 1t will be remembered that he could only get draw with Tom Cowler in a 12-round bout in Boston last year.

NATIVES PROGRESSI N G

MT. and Mrs. w. P. Hobson ar rived from Pavlof Harbor. Mrs. Hobson last evening on her way to visit her parents in Seattle at 6327 Fifth Avenue, Seattle, where her parents built new home. She will attend the 25th anniversary of the wedding of her parents.
 Mir. Hobson is part Native. The couple have a host of friends among the White people and Natives. Mrs. Hobson will also visit friends in Tacoma. She is taking down with her. moccasins, baskets, gold and silver bracelets. and two solid watch es which the Natives of the Thlin ket tribe presented to her.

 Mir. Hobson will return on the steamer Adelphus to Pavlof, where he is interested in cannery.
 Mrs. Hobson says that the Natives have made really wonderful pro gress in Alaska and that despite handicaps placed in their way by the worst ills of civilization from interruptions white residents, who first endeavored to exploit them they have progressed just the same and are among the best type of American citizens.
 Did you ever see a Native or an , Indian in slavery?" she asked. "You never did They died fighting for their ideals. Those who remained are proving good type of Ameri can citizens in different parts of the United States. They have inherent ideas of freedom and once they have come to adopt the white mans way they are making remarkable pro- gross towards higher civilization"
 MT. Hobson says that at the can nery at Pavlof they were forced to turn away enough fish for 5000 cases owing to the fact that they did not have the cans to pack them in. They turned them over to other canneries. The company now has plenty of tin and has been given as surance from the Secretary of the Alaska Labor Union that the can nery will be furnished labor from Juneau. .e
 We want to give th9 first chance for work to Alaskans," said MT HobsOn.

Woman's Defense Council

The question is often asked, What
is the Woman's Committee of the
State Council of Defense? The fol-
lowing is the answer:
The Woman's Committee of the
State Council of Defense is a sort of
clearing house for the patriotic &C
tivities of women. 1t is in no sense a
rival of any organizations, nor has it
any desire to detract from the ac-
Invites and prerogatives of any 9TH
er. The intent, from the National
Committee down, is to make use of
any other existing organizations, thus
conserving the force of all women,
and preserving intact the organiza-
lions that are in the field. Not wo-
man in its officiary receives a penny
of salary, and only adds this burden
to those she already bears, as an act
Of patriotic service. Certain legiti-
mate expenses are inevitable, and
must be borne, as will every call that
comes to a liberty loving people.
When the opportunity comes, we
trust every member will cheerfully
do her Bit

Should Hogs Be
Raised In Cambridge?

The Town Commissioners will at
their next meeting, on Wednesday
evening, take up for final disposition
the question whether hogs should be
raised in Cambridge or not, during
the duration Of the war.
The citizens of the Second and
Fourth wards are strongly in favor
of raising hogs, and at the last meet
ing, a petition was filed with the
Board, signed by 245 citizens of the
Fourth ward, asking that this privi-
lege be granted. AS yet there has
been practically no requests from
the First, Third and Fifth wards for
hog raising.
The Commissioners are very anXi-
Gus to know what the people of Cam
bridge want. Hogs are being rails
ed, under special regulations, in
many cities the size of Cambridge
and if there is desire on the part
of our citizens to raise hogs, the
Town Commissioners are ready and
willing to grant the privilege.
This matter is open for discussion
but will be settled one way or the
other next Wednesday evening. In
the meantime the Commissioners
want to hear from the people.
What shall it be: Hogs or no
hogs in Cambridge?

Navy Recruiting Officers Working
Hard to Raise Last Quota.

The approach of the first annlver-
sary of the entrance of the United
States into the world war finds
Maryland living up to every tradi-
ton of her founders.
When the autocratic tyrants of
the Central Powers shall have been
forced to lay down their arms in ia
vor of world democracy, the State
that produced the author and birth
place of the National Anthem will
not need to be ashamed of the part
it took in the greatest conflict in
the history of civilization, for Mary
land is one of the foremost leaders
among the States in sending her
young men to the defense of the
Colors.
1t is in the hope that this most
enviable reputation may be main
tanned that the Navy recruiting au-
thorities are bending every effort to
raise the last quota assigned the
