Pershing Compliments 41st Division.
Lieut.. Josiah Blaisde1l, son of Mr..

General John j. Pershing, concern
ing the 41st Division. The 164th In
fantry, of which most Of the North
Dakota combat troops were part,
helped to make up the 41st Division.
The letter follows:
American Expeditionary Force,
Office Of the Commanding General.
France, February 20, 1919.
Major General Peter Traub,
Care Of War Department,
Washington, D. G.
My Dear General Traub:
1t gives me great deal of pleas
ure to extend to you and the officers
and men of the 41st Division my COM
pliments upon their excellent appear
ance and bearing at the inspection in
the Embarkation Camp at Brest on
January 31st, just previous to your
departure for the United States.
The 41st Division has had the long
est and hardest career of service in
the American Expeditionary Forces.
One of the first five divisions to ar
rive in France, organized and trained
as combat unit, it was Immediately
broken up and the majority Of it's per-
sonnet was sent to combat units, and
the part these men played is matter
Of history of the 1st, End, 26th and
And Divisions with which they were
identified. Those who remained with
the 41st Division to handle and pre-
pare requirements for battle have had
a hard and unexciting part to play.
Yet the Divisions accomplishment has
been as important as the work of any
of those units who had the better for
tune to remain as combat divisions
and win glory at the front.
The officers and men may return
home with the knowledge of duty well
performed, and the assurance that
they have won the confidence and re-
spect of their fellows in the American
Expeditionary Forces.
Sincerely yours,

MAYFIELD, Ky. Oct, %. Cspl)-

known rules OF the game should have

Hack Tipped TO Be
Manager 0fPalM Moore
Pair Have lust Returned From
: Mysterious Trip to New Or
leans Where Much interest
ing News Was Learned.
BY coYLE SHEA.

Those who sit in waiting for sur.
priscs should preare for ono OF h emen-
dous importance--one that concerns
Billy Hack. the promoter, and Pal
bantanweight championship Of the
world. And unless all sings fail Billy
Hack will o supplant Tommy
Walsh and Nate Lewis as the bantam's
manager.
This is no certain fact for the affair
has yet to be settled. but at the same
time It would be quite a poor idea to bet
against n contamination OF the brilliant
idea, The story Is. Ike this:
Wednesday night Moora and Hack
went to New Orleans without an an
nouncement Of any nature. Friday they
returned with a smile that completely
covered the pair, They were more ST.
lent than the ancient sphinx and when
asked IL Hack was to step In as his
new pilot Moore only smiled the broad
or. Therefore the conclusion.
Moore did not remain in Memphis but
continued to Chicag o to clear up seyo
eral matters with Lewis ant Walsh.
1t is now practically certain that
Moore will meet Herman in New Or
leans Thanksgiving day for the bantam
title, the bout to be fought at lis
pounds ringside.
Moore Ia sore at Walsh because
OF alleged attempts to double cross
him In the title match. II is claimed
and further corroborated by Dom
mick Tortorleh, the New Orleans
Impresario. that Walsh Insisted
upon substituting Joe 6urman for
Moore IN the Turkey Day engage
ment.
Walsh and Lewis have a contract
netting them 20 per cent OF Bur.
mans earnings, They oct 80 per
cent from Moore but they have only
a verbal agreement subject to an.
nulment at any time.
When Moore learned OF this he
lost but little time In making 10 his
mind about the future,
Hack and Moore have been the clos
est of friends for years-ever since
Moore took his first punch at a rival
jaw. They understand each other ad-
mirahly and have implicit confidence in
the ability Of each other to carry out
the right end Of any bargain,
While Hack would not discuss the
matter openly, he did bring back inter-
esting dope upon the conference held in
the Crescent City between Tommy
Walsh and Dominick Tortorich,
In a nutshell, Hack claims that what
Tortorich told him and what Walsh
told him are widely different affairs,
This Is In keeping with the letter from
Tortorich that appeared in The News
Seimitar in al editions Of Wednesday.
TIT main points are q denial by Tor
torich OF any desire TO collect 10 pey
cent OF the future earnings of the
champion and a persistent avowal that
Walsh spent half of his time attempt
ing to secure the match for Burman in
place OF Moore, Such are the details
OF the trip,
In a few days the matter will be
| cleared up and Il Is a lumber yard
against a toothpick that by Nov. /
Billy Hack will be installed as man
ager and ~generslisslmo OF the bantam's
affairs.

Central High OutpaddIes Vocational in Mud

Whatever hopes that Vocational en-
tertained of remaining in the race for
the city title went by the boards Fri
day afternoon on Lake Hodges when
Central high school plowed her way to

This supplied the second defeat of the
season for Vocational by a local eleven.

JOE LEWIS G

Pal Moore, the young Memphis ban
tam. is the original joy killer. Prior
to Tuesday night, Joe Levy, who for
imerly managed Pals affairs and got
his rake-off of Pals earnings, had a
top-notch bantam, Bernie Hahn by
name, who was in line FOR a flock OF
good fights around over the country.
Joe was trying to arrange to show
Hahn at st. Louis, but the st. Louis
promoters, being from Missouri, stated
mat they had to be shown that Hahn
had the goods and that il he as much
as held Moore to a draw he would be
received with open arms for the st.
Louis show.
All looked rosy. as Levy said Hahn
would outpoint Moore by at least sew
eral kilometers. The fight came off.
SO did Hahn's hide. Moore trimmed
the aspiring young bantam to a queens
taste, getting the decision and punctur-
ing the rosy dream that Joe had been
basking in. The st. Louis matches
were not made. u.s.
As stated before, Moore is the orig
inal joy killer. He took all the joy out
Of Joe Levy's life when he bumped
Hahn off.
So Joe and Bernie pulled out, head

down the walloping that Moore admin
istered and to dwell upon the victories
