FAST FIGHTING AT MOTIVE

boys. the sport which is common
down in Dixie.
The first activity last night staged
two kids of the city, Kramer ana
X. Q. Peters, in four rounds exhibit
tion. and the latter was bit the
cleverer. The fastest hitting seen
here this season was that in the frst
round of Kid SchultzYoung Leidy
encounter. Schultz was knocked out
just as the bell tapped in the second
round. He was so collapsed that he
had to be carried out, and the arena
cheered his gameness.
A dizzy battle was the Young Full
ton-Dick Gotwalt, with the latter hit
ting the floor for the count of six
in the third round. Bleeding freely.
he kept on fighting desperately and
in the sixth again took a count of
five. 1t was Fulton's fight, easily,
but the little Dutchman was popular
for the way he hung on and for his
aggressiveness.
A spectacular bout was that be-
tween Hughey Dugan, Allentown,
and Joe Fitzpatrick, of Philadelphia
The latter is a ringer for Jack Demp-
sey, tattooed plentifully, he suggests
sailor life. Like Dempsey, all he
wanted was to be fighting; a glutton,
for fair. Dugan held his own pretty
we'll a couple of rounds, cutting open
the others cheek, but in the fourth
round Dugan suddenly quit and paus-
ed while he tried to frame up an
excuse: Grease on his body" he piped
finally, and scooted for the shower
bath. The fans howled their deris-
ion of him and the referee gave the
doughty Fitzpatrick the technical
knockout decision. A +. r. r. ply

winner had not grease or oil on his

Six-cylinder boxing characterized
last nights Motive Power show, quite
the niftiest seen this season. In the
star bout Allentown" Dundee, by his
aggressiveness had a shade on Johnny
Krouse who was substituted for
Tommy Carey. The latter, according
to Referee Charley Sellers, is inca
pacitated with some injury. The fans
however, were not disappointed. The
Philadelphian showed himself vet
eran and he has been in the game
for fifteen years, while Dundee has
only three years experience. Both
knew how to take car of their own
carcass and while. the punching was
hard and fast, neither was hurt
The second important fray staged
Nate Isaacman who was to have met
Babby Williams. He failed to show
up and Earl Graney, of South Beth
lehem, took his place. At this point
the bell for calling rounds got out
of order and a huge piece of boiler
plate was lugged in to make the
proper noise. Isaacman was not so
fast as usual and Graney ducked all
his swings. 1t was an exciting ard
clever affair with honors even. for
both lads could have kept UP the
pace many more rounds. The general
opinion was for a draw and Joe Bar
rett evidently sized it up that way.

would fight ten rounds at the next

POWER CO. RECEIVES
s CARLOADS OF COAL
Supply on Hand is Greater THAI at
Amy Time Since Shortage
Began Here

More coal was shipped into Mexico
Tuesday morning than at any one
time since the shortage, due to the
strike, began. Six carloads for the
Mexico Power Company were received,
one car containing eighty-one tons.
One car of hard coal was got by w. A..
Hendrix and Sons, for local delivery.
Private consumers will probably
have to depend upon the city's supply
of wood in the municipal yard for
some time yet, however; as the largest
portion Of the coal shipped here in the
next week or two will be needed by
the public utilities. Wallace
Dearing, city clerk, IS still issu-
ing permits for wood, and some per-
sons havebeen to buy as many as three
different times. The city is continG-
ing to buy, and has ordered some to
be shipped here by freight, in order
that the delay in the adjustment of
the coal situation will not be felt by
those who have been depending on
wood to help them out in the crisis.

THINKS IN TERMS
OF LARGE FIGURES
A. c. Barnes Draws Material for Cal
culatiOns From Speech Made
Here by Champ Clark

Being impressed by the statement
made by Champ Clark concerning the
deficit in the United States Treasury
in his recent speech here, A. C. Barnes
has done some thinking in large figures
and made the following calculations:
"When Congressman Champ Clark
spoke in Mexico a short time since ne
stated that the deficit in the treasury
would be at the end of this fiscal year
$5,000,000,000, which he seemed to
think was very large sum; in TACT
so large that the human mind could
not grasp it. Now ! am trying to get
it in terms so familiar that we can
all understand it. The interest on this
amount at Il per cent would amount
to 100000 in six months. Now
suppose this interest is to be paid in
silver dollars at the bank of Santa
Fe, Mo-, the Government delivering
the money at Mexico, and hiring Bruce
Piper to deliver it at Santa Fe. The
six months interest would weigh
100000 pounds or 3,515 tons. Sup
pose Piper has FIVE trucks of two tuns
each and makes two loads per day,
leaving out Sundays Not allowing
anything for bad roads or punctlrcs
or otheg accidents it would take 175
days to haul the six months interest
and as there are only about 155 lays
except Sundays in six months, the next
interest would be due about 20 days
before he could deliver the first. We
will not go into details as to what
the bank would do with themoney, as
there are not enough houses in Santa
Fe to hold it."

LAST MEXICO MAN
IS OUT OF SERVICE
Leopold Barth Gets Home Tuesday
Night-Last Discharged Soldier
To Arrive

Leopold Barth, fourth son of Mrs.
Joseph Barth of this city, arrived home
Tuesday night, having just been dis
charged from the United States Army.
He went into the service in September,
1918, and has since that time been
stationed at U. S. General Hospital
Number Al, Staten Island, the second
largest hospital in the United States;
only the Walter Read Hospital in
Washington surpasses it in size.
Mr.. Barth was in charge of the nos
pital linen distributing department,
which handled from 175,000 to 200 900
pices of linen month. About 1000
pieces a day were distributed within
two or three hours, he said.
This hospital was used as a clear
ing hospital; wounded men from over
seas wer brought there and then sent
on to the government hospital nearest
their homes. Fifty thousand lnen
haveb cen cared for here-almost one
fourth of all the wounded sent home
from France. There have been as
many as 1900 men in the hospital at
once, according to Mr.. Barth, but at
tba nrncaD+ fipoo thaprp,bor &c obou+
1900.
He has been trying to get out of the
service for a year, Mr.. Barth says,
but along with hundreds of others in
the hospital, was held for emergency
use. There are still about 300 of such
men retained, but they are gradually
being relieved by regular service men.
Despite the fact that he got into the
Army only two months before the war
virtually was at an end, he has seen
service as long as large number who
went from Mexico; and, although he
did not see fighting in the trenches,
he had a long siege of battles with
linen at one of the largest distribut-
ing points in the entire country.
Mr.. Barth's friends are glad to sec
him home again, and the Ledger joins
them in welcoming him.

GOVERNMENT REMOVES
FUEL RESTRICTIONS
Local Coal Committee Will Continue
To Issue Permits Until
Supply is Larger

Government restrictions on the use
and delivery of coal were removed
from the first five classes, railroads,
institutions and retail dealers Monday
morning from now on shipments
will be made direct to the dealers,
with no interference by the admin
istration. TIE local fuel COM
mittee in Mexico will continue to issue
permits for a short time however,
because only a limited supply of coal
is now on hand in the dealers yards; :.
and an attempt will be made to di-
vide this amount among the various
consumers.
The Mexico Power Company recelv-
ed two carloads of coal Saturday ev-
ening, and We're thus enabled to con-
tinue operation Monday. No more
famines are contemplated now, and it
is expected that the usual amount of
coal will be coming in, in short time.
The quality of the fuel being obtained
at present is of the best, and for that
reason the efficiency of the Power
Company is back to normal.
The price of coal has not advanced
'uring the last month except with re-
