right you can knock him down and that
 will be a great joke on John L." | m do it," declared Billy apparently
 delighted with the idea of flooring the
 champion. Tt will happen in the third
 round.'
 And then the boys tipped off the rest
 of the crowd that damned into the con- vention hall that night. And everybody sat back awaiting the third round-and the hopedfor flip-flop of the champion. 1 Through the first two rounds Billy acted
 according to the highly approved rule for exhibition sparring partners He was just a. foil for John L., never attempting to hit back unless 1t was with the idea of missing, so as to make the cham pions defense look all the better He
 took all that John L. handed him and performed his sparring role admirably for those two rounds.
 And then came the third
 With the call of time" Madden swept glance around the hall which said: Watch me now, boys," and at once sailed into John L. with fists flying and with everything he had behind those
 punches. The attack took the cham
 pion' by surprise. Billy landed several times before John L. awoke to the sit-
 uation. Then the champ pushed Madden
 back and shot a look at the crowd which, by that time. was on its feet yelling:
 Hand it to him now, Billy-hand it to him!'
 At once John l.. realized that Billy had
 attempted to trick him into knock down. So John L., who always had pulled
 his punches when boxing with the smaller Madden, seeing Madden leering in at him swung his famous right for Billy's jaw
 and Billy went down as though felled by a crowbar.
 I Without the slightest show of excite | ment, John L. calr-iy walked over to the wings of the stage where there was an empty trash barrel. Rolling it over to. where Madden lay, John l.. picked up the unconscious Madden, stuffed him into | the barrel and then, walking to the foot | lights and brandishing his fist, said: If there is~anyone in the crowd that would like to come up here and try to do what this fellow tried to do--let him step up here"
 No one accepted the defi of John L. l And so the story goes that nights
 bout with Madden and its startling re suit, brought the split between John
 L. and his manager which made them en- emies for many years.

JUDGE STAMFORD IS OUT AZ TER ILLNESS WITH INFLUENZA Does Not Want War Pro- l0nged a Moment After
 Realization of
 Ideals
By HUGH w. RoBERTs.

Washington, November 9.-(SpeciaL) W. H. Sanford, associate justice of the Alabama court of appeals, was per mitted by physicians to appear in pub lie this morning for the first time since his attack of influenza 10 days ago. Judge Sanford, who has four boys in the service. is very anxious for the con summation of satisfactory peace. He has no sympathy for those who would prolong the war solely. for the purpose of making Germany suffer as Belgium and France have suffered.
 "I have taken occasion" said Judge Sanford, ito urge the President to be moved neither by the politicians nor the profiteer We are fighting a war for ideals, and we should end the war just as soon as the realization of these ideals is made possible.
 ''T'his seems to be the attitude of the President, and it is the right attitude have expressly said so in a letter to him. The typical profiteer and politician. neither of whom has sons on the battle line, are insisting on the continuation of the war I feel certain that the war will be ended as speedily as possible. as soon as the ideals of the President are realized

Billy Madden's effort to slip it over
 on John L. Sullivan during a sparrins
 match in 1883 is attributed by many as
 the real reason for the complete sever ing of the partnership between the two.
 Madden, as may be remembered. be-
 came >the manager of John L. before the great Bostonian rose to- the heavy- weight championship of the world in
 1882 Madden recognized the great financial possibilities that lay in hay ing John L. tour the various cities giv- ling boxing exhibitions. And almost inn mediately after John L. became the king of pugilism, Billy began arrang- ing for trip that eventually added something like $1O0,000 to the bank roll of the great warrior.
 Sullivan and Madden made up a great team-for a while. Then the two began to squabble. Each was inclined to be stubborn and strong willed. When there
 was any conflict of opinion neither
 would give in. And breach began to |open that grew wider and wider throueh
 the latter part of 1882 and into 1883.
 And then Sullivan and Madden went to Wilkes Barre, Pa, to give boxing. match. They arrived in the afternoon. John l.. hustled to a hotel to rest up. but Billy met q lot of good fellows and before dusk Billy had been entertained so royalty that he was in no condition to go on in sparring match with anyone. But Billy had to go on be- cause he was the only sparring partner that John L. had taken along with him. Just as Billy was parting from his group of friends one of them remarked Well, Billy,I suppose you're going to hustle away so as to let John l.. give you the nightly licking, eh?
 | Madden flared up.
 He couldn't lick me if I didn't let him." he replied
 Say. Billy" cut in another member of the crowd, why don't you slip it over on John l.. tonight and give the boys a great laugh on the champion?" eHow?" Sullivan doesn't look for you to fight him. All he expects from you is for you to stand up and let him land a few. He never looks for wallops from you. That gives you a good chance to slip one over on him and if you clip him

MONTEVALLO DID
 NOT CELEBRATE

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 AS Tar as we are able to learn. Monte vallo is the only town in the state that did not celebrate the lend of the war on yesterday.
 The fake rumor reached our commun- ity; but, before taking any part in it, our people sought yerification. How ever, we stand ready to celebrate when ever the armistice Is signed, sealed and delivered.
 In the meantime we are doing our full part in getting ready for a great drive next week for the United War Work fund
 Very truly yours, T. w. PALMER.

KEEP FAMILIES AT HOME

Home service sections are requesting the families of soldiers in this country to resist the natural tendency to follow their men from camp to camp.
 Unless we'll provided with money these families become stranded in strange cities where the housing conditions are inadequate and the prices eXorbitant, making a serious problem for the Req Cross home service and for the embark ing soldiers who should be spared all needless worry.
 The resulting demands upon the Red Cross for immediate support and TOT transportation for these families is felt to be rather unnecessary, aside from the lii-sssen n aSed upon the limited transpor- tation facilities of the country.

DAN CARR CAPTURED
IN COWETA COUNTY
officer Gates Arrests Last OF
Three Escaped COnViCtS
From Utoy Camp

After a three-day chase, Dan Carr,
the last OF the four cOnvicts who es-
capped from the Utoy camp early Mon
day morning, was captured about 6
o'clock Wednesday night in Coweta
county by County officer c. L. Gates.
The Fugitive was taken at point
about ten miles from Palmetto and
some eight miles from the Atlanta and
West Point railroad line, toward which
it is thought he was making his way.
He had secured civilian clothes in
some manner and was wearing an over
coat when arrested by the officer. When
and how he disposed of his stripes he
refused to reveal Carr also carried a
razor, but with this exception was
without weapons.
officer Gates, who, by the way, cap
tured Carr when he attempted to escape
4 few months ago, had gone on ahead
of the pursuing posse and dogs and cut
in on a road where Carr might be ex-
the convict, who refused to halt at the
command of officer Gates. but continued
running in a new direction. Gates fired
four times and Carr finally threw up
his hands, begging the officer not to
kill him. County officer c. e Lyle
came up at this juncture and Carr was
taken back to the Utoy camp
Carr J. p. Keel, jack Lunsford and
Lloyd Brewer escaped from the Utoy
camp before daybreak Monday saving
their chains and smashing the lock on
the guardroom door while the guards
were in the kitchen. Brewer was re-
captured within a few hours, while
Lunsford was Overtaken Monday after
noon. Keel was arrested Tuesday
night while attempting to steal an au-
tomobile on the CamDbellton road.
