bought belt and gave it to him. But
 the gift was not a permanent one, as
 in the case of the others. Nicholas
 was to retain the belt only while cham
 pion. However, as far, as is known,
 Ward never surrenderedfit, although he
 was dethroned and the belt disappeared.
 Tom Sawyers held a belt. When he
 fought John C. Heenan Tn their memo
 rable battle, the belt as well as the
 championship was at stake. When the
 fight ended in a draw, it was pro-
 posed at first to cut the belt in half
 and give part to each of the fighters.
 That plan, however was nulled and
 two duplicate belts were made from the original, the idea being to give one duplicate to Savers and the other to the American. the original to be kept and awarded to the first man who, at some later day, would establish clear right to the title.
 Savers got his duplicate-but Heenan didn't.
 Some years later Tom Paddock and Sam Hurst "The Stalybridge Infant"
 both claimed title. The two men right then stood out beyond all other heavy weights. So the English sportsmen de- cided to put up the original belt, that had been held by Savers, the winner of the fight to be acclaimed champion and to be given possession of the belt. HURST WINS BELT Hurst won the battle and held the girdle until he took on Jem Mace,
 who whipped him and gained possession of the trophy Later Tom King whipped Mace and King got the belt. What happened to the championship
 emblem thereafter is not clearly es- abolished fact. But it is understood
 that King kept the belt and upon his death it disappeared.
 Since that time England has not been
 donating any really valuable belts to ring performers.
 John l.. Sullivan's belt was the cost Hest ever known in or out of a prize ring. It was a mass of precious stones, all of them set in jure gold There were more than 50 karats of the most expensive jewels and several pounds of gold in the trophy The belt was a permanent gift to the great cham pion, but years before his death, when financial misfortune came to him, he either pawned it or sold it, and the belt was counted as forever lost in its original until after Su11ivans death ! when it turned up in the hands of a Baltimorean.

It all goes to show that baseball is strickly on the level Bir- mingham too would rather see the Pels win yet they gave 'em fits in that last series here.

 For two hours the towering Australian and the slight Californian brought into use every atom of strength and degree of skill in their struggle for supremacy and so closely were they matched thas at the end of the contest Johnston had won by three sets to two, 26 games to 2S. 16s points to 154.
 Charles S. Garland of Pittsburgh start ed his match against Brookes as though he too intended to eliminate the most famous of all Australian players. Win ming the first two sets at 6-1. and S-2 by steady and consistent tennis he founa that his opponent despite his forty odH

Awarding the Championship
 Belts Began Many Years Ago
Tom Cribb Was the First Possessor of Championship Belt-Sayers Was Holder of Bet-Sullivan
 Awarded Very Costly Girdle of Gold
By JAMES J. ooRsErT.

The awarding of belts. emblematic of worlds championship, is a ring GUS tom that originated over 100 years ago. but died out during the reign of John L.
 Tom Cribb was the first possessor of belt of that kind. Cribb made a splendid ring record and built up a tremendous following. When he reached the absolute heights of pugilsm, his admirers decided upon presenting him with some gift to snow their regard for him.
 And belt was selected, it being fig ured that such token could be worn by Cribb on every occasion-in the ring and out of it. There were no strings" attached to the gift. It was pened to the belt after Cribbs death ever has remained a mystery. England had many well loved pugil- ists in its day, but probably none ex- ceeded Cribb in enduring popularity. The esteem in which he was held dur ing his lifetime was shown when he was made page at the coronation of King George the Fourth, July 1s. 1921. After Cribbs death, costly monu- iueHl was erected over ms grave Tn Woolwich churchyard. A lion--life size stood on the top of it and near the base of the memorial was an inscrip- ton that told how much Cribb had been loved and honored during his life time.
 The next belt awarded to a winner of fistic honors was that donated to Jem Ward, who was a king pin per- former during 1924 and 1885, and who annexed the title. Ward, in addi- ton to being a fighter, was an artist of no mean ability.
 "Bendigo," whose real name was Will liam Thompson, owned the third belt "Bendigo," who was one of triplets was a powerful fellow, extremely sci entific for that era, and his name ever will rank among the greatest of Brit ish fighters. He surely was a worthy titleholder, and by his prowess rich ly deserved all the honors that his friends paid to him.

u. S. to Permit Allies to
Defer Interest on Loans

The plan. as reported in press
dispatches from abroad. to defer for
three years payments OF interest
on American loans TO the allied
governments. will be put into op-
Grafton. according to information
available at the Treasury Depart
ment.
Although IL is made plain that
the proposal comes from the other
governments, the Treasury officials
freely state that they are in sym
pathy with IL. and under the law
authorizing the loans. il is pointed
out. the Secretary of the Treasury
has full power to make such an
arrangement without additional
legislation by Congress-
The position is taken that in
view of the state of foreign eN-
change due TO the financial string
ency in Europe. IL would be TO the
interest of the United States. as
well as the foreign governments.
TO postpone the interest payments.
This conclusion is not altered by
the fact that the home obligations
of this country would be made
heavier during the period OF sus-
pension of interest
The point is made that post
ponement of the payments would
not mean that the allied govern
ments would escape the interest
obligations maturing during tn.
deferment period. The suspended
payments would accumulate and be
distributed over succeeding years.

District Jail.
The Rev. J. Henning NeIms. rec
tor Of the Church of the Ascension.
told Justice Stafford that Ying had
attended his Sunday School for ten
years and thH he was man of
high ideals. Justice Stafford replied
that he did not believe this fact
could permit him to mitigate the
sentence on Ying.
Justice Stafford classed Ying's Of
fense as "contemptible" and re-
marked that he should be happy that
the District Attorneys Office did not
see fit to indict him for perjury,
which charge would have drawn a
penitentiary sentence.
Joseph NJ. Brockwell, a we'll
dressed young white man, was sem
tenced by Justice Stafford to three
years sin the penitentiary. Brock
well was convicted Of taking an au-
tomobile belonging to George Z.
Potter, on September "a, last.

with forgery. had sentence of
three years imposed on him, but JUS
