PHILADELPHIA. July civilian
n. Recap, a prominent referee and
sports editor Of the Public Ledger,
charges in a signed article that Twill
lard and Richard entered into q COM
pact to make a cleanup" and says
an investigation should be started at
once before either man can reap any
profit from the moving pictures.
Here is the first case" writes Ro-
cap, who was mentioned as a possible
referee of the Willard-Dempsey bout,
''for the army, navy, and civilian
board Of boxing control to investi-
gate.
"If the American public has been
victimized, it is up to the board OF
boxing control to make a complete
exposure and punish the offenders to
the limit.
$50 far as the towel being thrown
into the ring is concerned, that was
done at Willard's own request. Ray
Archer. Sergt. Walter Monahan. and
Jack Hempel, his attendants, worked
under orders.
Hence. Willard must be labeled q
gutter. He has disgraced the sport
He is the first heavyweight cham
quit in the ring in a bout where the
worlds title was at stake. The world
likes a game loser and will applaud
the man who pluckily goes down IN
der fire. Even Willard's stanchest ad-
mirers turned from the ring in dis
gust In that number was included
the writer.
"If it can be proved that Messrs.
Rickard and Willard entered into a
compact to pull off Fridays monster
hippodrome the pictures should be
barred from the State Of Ohio, where
it is legal to show them, and IL the
films are sent to Europe to amuse the
army Of occupation and other enlisted

the Government should confscate

WILLARD MAKES FORTUNE
FOR QUITTING IN CORNER

Get Rich Quick wallingford never
had a thing on Jess willard, who
threw up the sponge at Toledo. when
it came to coming the root Of all evils
in rapid-1re style. The eK-champion
evidently wanted to set a record for
getting money in quick order. He quit
at the end of the third round, night
ing just nine minutes. For that little
space Of time, Willard garnered $780,
900, record for any pugilistic event.
One hundred and eighty-hve dollars
and sixteen cents was the sum Will
lard got for every second he faced
Dempsey.
For every round he was enriched
to the extent OF S33,333.33. Some
bunch of coin, we'll say, for q man
who quit.
Jack Dempsey received S2T,5o0 for
his share. Which isn't bad, either.
Then there is the money taken in by
both fighters while they were in train
ing. II was estimated that they made
on an average Of $4,000 a week.

The visitors worked so hard. though.
in that first contest that Miller Hug

turn them back. He did just as If
he hadn't hung up his tenth straight
victory the day before.
The Griffs walked all over the

Eddie Gill. star pitcher of the Holy
Cross varsity nine, reported to Man
ager Griffith before noon. He was
rushed into the first fray while the
Yanks were in a batting mood. He
now knows that there is some differ
ence between college stun md hig
league doings. However, he went
along well enough and may yet show
to better advantage.
Jim Shaw, Walter Johnson's rival
for speed, toiled on the hill in the
second game, but he had nothing to
worry about, starting his work with
an eight-run lead.
Clark Griffith dragged out a truly
amazing flock of athletes 10 battle
the Yanks. He had the veteran
George Mcbride cavorting around
the shortfeld with Shanks and jan

duties along with Judge Menosky
and Murphy played in left field. 1t
looked as If old Nick Altrock might
bust into the lineup as a pitcher or
pinch hitter or something.
Russell Gets Bumped.
Allan Russell, usually a stumbling
block for the Griffs, was knocked off
the rubber in the first inning OF the
second game. This brought cheers
of Joy from the Washington bench.

CHANCES IN GAME OF LIFE
Must BE Winners and Losers, Since It
10 Sure All Cannot Hold
Equal Cards.


Life is like a game of cards. Some
must win. Some must lose. 1t all de-
ponds upon the player and on the
gambling chances that may favor or
disappoint him.
All have the same gambling chance.
SO the players ability really deter
mines whether he shall be a loser or
a winner. Assiduity, persistence, prac-
tice and patience all help to make him
a winner. and the lack Of these a loser.
Those who win make their gains at
the expense Of those who lose. There
must always be winners and losers,
the winners rejoicing and the losers
disappointed. complaining and jealous
OF the winners.
How much like the experience Of ev-
eryday life! Some succeed because Of
their diligence. earnestness and cease
less ambition, others lose because Of
the lack Of these winning qualities.
Some live In weil-deserved ease and
comfort IN the proceeds of their sue
cess, others in discomfort, proclaiming
that they suffer from injustice.
Everybody must play the game Of
life and, like the game of cards, In
the end every gamester must be q
loser. Only the Grim Reaper is sure to
be the winner In the end.-John A.
Sleicher In Leslie's.

Wits Archaeological museum, who
states that the coffin, without doubt,
belongs to the period Of the Roman
occupation, says the London Times.
The place where 1t was found is about
a mile from the site Of q large Romano
British village. The coffin is 6 feet s
inches in length; its width varies from
l foot 6 inches to l foot 4 inches and
its depth is ! foot Z inches Large
iron nails Az inches long indicate that
when inferred it had a wooden outer
covering, but that has persisted, as
have the bones inferred, except the leg
bones, the pelvis and the lower jaw ;
there is no trace of the skull. Two
pieces Of lead form the bottom Of tie
coffin, but the cover is one piece.
