POSTPONED BATTLE
ON TONICHTvS CARD
With Clear Weather. Leon
ard and Fairfield viii
Clash at Pills Park in
Delayed Bout
JACKSON rs. PHILLIPS
Hy JAMES $. CiHOLAN

DAM and Rains combined TO make it
~ Il dull spot at tn" Phils' stadium
last night.
The rain pounded down 50 industri
ouSly all yesterday morning that Pro
moter Rains concluded it would be- un
healthy to put on the Benny Leonard
Soldier Fairfield number.
Promoter Rains advanced the date Of
the iut"rclass battle to this evening. IF
nll well in a weather way the gladi
ators will respond to the gong.
Everything looked dark and despair.
ing yesterday morning Then tho clouds
proceeded to scatter, and when it
reached fight timc-about S S:3O-evcry
thing was clear and conditions perfect
for open air fighting.
Rains No Prophet
But Promoter Rains is not n prophet.
nelthcr is he an amateur. Mr.. Bliss.
Hence his haste in not gambling with
the weather of yesterday and banking
all on this evenings condition.
Providing that the clouds do no more
weeping and the sun comes forth and
breads little light, Leonard and Bart
held Will engage in royal combat.
This fight really started in the omen
at Ebbetts'S ball park in BROOKLYN Ia ST
fall. with both boys doing all kinds OF
hitting.
1t is only natural that they should
select another ballyard to finish their
SluSging and give the public n chance
to name a winner.
Bartfleld Trains
When Bartfield learned that every
thing was off for the day be returned
to Jack O'Brien's gymnasium and there
engaged in another light workout.
Leonard was informed early Of tho
poStppnement and spent part of the
afternoon at Billy Grupp's gymnasium
in New York. The Leonard party is
expected TO arrive early today.
The principals are just RS confident
his morning as they were this time
twenty four hours ago. Benny believes
h" has Bartfields number. and the Sol
der feels that he has it on Leonard in
every way.
lt looks ike great fight between q
recognized ring master with a good
punch and a rugged foe capable ol
taking sledge hammer blows and smiling
in the face OF the attack.

MACK FOR INCREASE
OF BIG SERIES GAMES
Would Give Fans Chance to See
More Than One Battle,
Says Connie

Connie Mack is in favor Of increasing
the number of worlds series games to
be played to nine.
None of our ball parks are large
enough for world S series. ;" says Mack.
by playing nine games, instead of
seven games, as has been the rule. q
greater number of persons will be able
to see one or more of the contests. 1t
will give the fans a better chance and
in my opinion the number of games
should be increased to at least nine"

Saratoga, N Y.-The cheapest thing
In Saratoga is money. Everybody has
It IL abundance off and on and spends
It with the abandon of the drunken
sailor in the old song.
Clerks bet $1,000 on a horse at the
race tracks. Newly made rich pile UP
checks and counters on cards and the
elusive roulette ball. Men throw dol
lars around as they used to toss dimes.
Women accustomed to ginghams
ali rhinestones gladden. the eye and
stimulate the sense of humor in their
efforts to carry with grace silks and
diamonds. The most suitable is dis
ea~ded for the most expensive.
AExtravagance and a contempt for
money values intrudes itself at every
turn on the picturesque streets of the
most famous of American resorts, and
oldest of the cures, in the corridors of
the great barn-like hotels, at the ace
track, in the dining places and in the
lake sections and fits by in the bewil-

green cloth, the dealing box and the
other implements of their craft are to
be found without much difficulty.
The crowds that flock to the race
courses are greater by thousands than
ever before.
All the old social barriers have been
broken down and trampled under foot
by the crowd that comes from the
financial marts of Wall street, the re-
sorts of upper Broadway, the bench
and forge, and forest and mine and
farm, upon which the fortunes of war
have smiled.
The number of resorts where wom-
en- are admitted to the gaming tables
Is probably less than four. In the
other small places where the wagers
range from SIS to $50 at roulette, haz-
ard and one or two other co%ntrivances
for getting the money women are not
admitted. 1t is not considered chubby
to advertise the location or names OF

Aunt Grace came into the room
where her three-year-old niece was
cutting up her grandmother's new

feeble circumstances but the small
y~oungster continued placidly with her
cutting. Aunt Grace turned to her
mother. "It seems to me-" she said,

But Ruth Marie had not been play

the word from the sound of its letters

YAP AND ITS PEOPLE

zap Is strangely old and strangely
up to date. Its inhabitants are still in
the stone age Of progress. The natives
are strict prohibitionists. Bachelor
clubs closed to the women dot the
islands. Food and drink and clothes
all grow on trees. In zap wealth Is
truly a burden. A single coin Of their
stone money sometimes weighs hun
dreds Of pounds. zap, or Jap, when
translated, means the land, and is the
only land that many of the islanders
know.
Married and unmarried men alike
belong to the club, which maintains a
fine failu, O. bachelor house, the host
ess Of which must be secured by force
or cunning from some distant tribe.
There she lives under a polyandrous
system where no man becomes jeal-
Gus and the wives of the village never
object to their husbands evenings at
the club.
The chief decoration Of the male is
a string Of pink shells made into q

necklace, and since no man is rich
enough to W such a treasure the
best ones are loaned out for such a
period as the wearer may choose to be
dressed In the height of fashion. AS
there are no button holes, the man
may wear two bouquets In each ear. a
sort Of corsage bunch In a large hole
In the lower lobe and a small bouton-
Mere In q smaller hole in the ear
higher up. Shell cuffs made of conchs
add the finishing touch to the correct
attire.
zap women do not wear the veil.
Their only dress is a voluminous skirt
made Of leaves Of fiber and composed
Of four or five t~hicknesses. Although
one month is the average life of a
woman's dress, the style does not
change.

mine sweeper o the Irish sea, but returned to American waters in time to
handle the testing Of the navy airships prior to their transatlantic flights, and
In Lisbon, where they landed.
"Inere are reports says Captain Steele, shat the proposed congressional
legislation to, consolidate the air services will provide for a separate cabinet
officer as head of the department of aviation, and others that say the head of
the aviation department will merely be a chief such al the various bureaus Of
the army and navy have.
"Elther of these plans, Oh any other plans which take aviation for the navy
out of complete control Of the navy department will mean the service will
suffer, and such legislation should be opposed. H
"A navy flyer has to know how to navigate, either from the fimsy cockpit
of a airship Dr. from the bridge of a vessel He has to know how to do navy
scouting, bombing and torpedoing, coast patrol work, and finally the spottine
of shots and regulation of navy fire"
Captain Steels conclusion is that the army aviator cannot know thu
difficulties Of the navy flying game and it takes him years to learn his own.

Members Who Went to Study Mount

With Fine Performance.

Juneau, Alaska.-Volcanic peaks In
the far southwestern corner of Alaska
are in eruption this summer, evidently
for the benefit of a party of scientists
sent by the National Geographic So
ciety to study Mount Katmai, the
greatest of Alaska's smoking noun
tains, and its valley of Ten Thou

Persons who have returned recently
from the volcanic country to the west
ward said Shishaldin peak, on Unimak
island, in the Aleutian chain, was in
eruption recently. They also reported
it was believed Mount Bavloff on the
southwestern Alaskan mainland, also
had spouted, as the snow about the
summit was coal black.
When the party of scientists left
Anchorage, Alaska, on their way to
