TIE recent death OF Honey Melody
L in Boston, following an attack OF
pneumonia, removed from the modern
prize ring one Of It's most famous
characters. The former welterweight
.Iboxer, who claimed the title Of his
class after defeating Joe Walcott
.Itwice within six weeks In 1906. was
born IN Charleston In 1854. His real
name vas William J. Melody. He
/ started IN the boxing game in 1901
7 and soon gained a national reputation
as a fast fighter, meeting the lead
ers in his class In that year he
] knocked out seven opponents, one Of
whom was clever Jack Kearns- Five
years later Melody met WalcOtt and
beat him twice Experts were d.
vided At the time whether Walcott or
the Dixie Kid was champion and Mel
lody claimed the title after licking
Z Walcott, on the ground that the lat
I ter was the champion.
The veteran Tommy Leach has
again been released by a major league
Z club. probably for the last time Leach,
who was at his best as a member OF
the champion Pirates OF 1903, dropped
out OF the major leagues few years
ago. and after several seasons in the
minors, one OF them as mahager OF the
Rochester club OF the international
league. he came back to the Pirates
last year. He played in a few games
and hoped to make a real Comeback
but Il soon became apparent that his
ms1or league days were at an end,
and he has been given his uncondi-
tional release by Hugo Bezdek- He Is
undecided whether TO retire from the
game or again seek a berth In the
Southern association. whence he came
back to the big show last year.

edged king OF the American heavies
until 1850. when he was matched with
Paddy Ryan. a native Of Ireland, at

game and scientific battle, and II was
not until 81 rounds had been fought
that the Irishman, who was nearly Il
years his Junior. put the old veteran

Coblerz, March St.--Unable to OBJ
tain Germans to work voluntarily on
several of the Third army depots
which are under construction near
Bendorf. American military authori-
ties today requisitioned 300 laborers
thru the German civil officials. The
men will be paid nine marks per day
with the privilege of receiving half this
amount in food, if desired.
Owing to the difficulties encountered
in obtaining volunteer workmen and
because of several minor labor dis
turbances recently among civilians en-
ployed under American supervision,
General Dickman. commander Of the
American army of occupation, today
issued warning against strikes. This
proclamation. which has been circu-
lated throughout the occupied area,
says that all laborers voluntarily in
the service engaged in work for the
Americans or working for the army
under requisition or otherwise are
forbidden to join in any conspiracy
or plan TO attempt to carry out any
scheme to strike or abandon work.

Archangel. March. .31.-Bolsheyik ar

front and positions south Of Orozer-
skaia t~the heaviest bombardment in
many weeks yesterday. In the mean
time the enemy was moving consider
able forces thru the woods, indicating
that an attack may follow soon.
A little garrison of four French SOL
.diers in an outlying blockhouse guard
ing one of the allied flanks near the
front line yesterday repeatedly repAls-
ed attacks by eighty bolsheviki infan-
trymen, who had slipped thru the
woods and attempted a surprise.
The weather was mild and sunshiny
and an enemy observation balloon was
up almost all day spotting the effect OF
shells.
An enemy airplane dropped a bomb
on village near Odozerskaia, but no
damage resulted.
The allied petitions along the front
line are strong. with blockhouses
guarding the TANKS and snow trenches
built up with, log barricades. while
there are ample .dugouts to shelter all
the allied forces. The troops holding
this front include considerable num-
bers Of American, French, British and
new Russian troops. The allied ar
tillery here probably is equal to that
Of the enemy.
West Of Odozerskaia the allied artil-
lery is still shelling Bolshoia Ozera,
and a number OF explosions occurred
in that village on Sunday.
