TUESDAY BOUTS
AT ARMORY A. A.

A middleweight contest will be the
feature attraction at the Armory A.
A. next Tuesday night. The princi-
pals will be Joe Eagan Of Dorches-
ter and Young Ahearn the Brooklyn
dancing master known the country
over as one Of the cleverest and
headiest fighters in the ring today.
Ahearn has been idle for almost a
year owing t" aN attack of sickness,
but since his return to the ring has
accomplished the fine performance of
four victories insiue Of q month. The
New Yorker was surprised at his
own condition and figures that he
has as good chance to attain mid
dleweight championship honors as
anyone in his class. Ahearn is a
young man yet having just turned
his 26th birthday. Mike Gibbons, who
is considered a clever man. was
made to look like selling platter
by the clever Ahearn. The latter is
as fast on his feet as he is with his
hands and never stops going from
the time the gong sounds the begin
ming of fight.
In view of his fine performance
against Marty Cross local fans are
inclined to favor Eagan to come
through with flying colcrs for mid
dleweignt honors. When right Eagan
is one Of the greatest fighters in the
business and he promises to be in
tip--top shape for Ahearn. Joe is
out to make good with vengeance
and has several matches in sight
that would be cancelled in The event
OF losing to Ahearn. Eagan is as
clever in many WAYS as Ahearn. ice
can probably hit harder and at short
range is one of the hardest punish
ers in the game. The different STYLES
OF the men is what will make their
battle one Of the most interesting TO
be decided at the club between mid
dleweights. They are without cues
ton the fastest men Ct their weight
in the country and are fighting met
ter now than at any time in their ca
reer
With a first class preliminary card
on tap the fans are assured Of plenty
of real scrapping. Young Viera OF
New Bedford. one Of the most prom
Using boys in his class. and Jimmy
Duffy Of Everett will mingle in an
eight-round bout. Six round bouts
will be furnished between Burt
Jones Of Revere and Young Reagan
OF Brockton. Charley Brennan and
Mack Murphy will also appear in n

Wounded Yanks
Quick at RetOrt
washington Starr

wounded soldiers from Walter
Reed hospital are a familiar sight on
the streets of Washington, and are
usually the objects Of kindly interest,
even II they are not always the re-
cIplents of the courtesy and consid-
GRAFTON due them on crowded street
cars. Sometimes. however. this in
terest takes the form of a curiosity
that is almost impertinent, and the
young men can hardly be blamed if
they feel some slight resentment.
"A young soldier, whose clean white
oandase showed clearly below the
knee, was stopped on the avenue the
other day and asked if he had been
shot in the foot.
Not at ALL" he replied, IT was
wounded in the forehead, but the
bandage slipped"
A young sergeant was walking
along a downtown street last Tues
day. Both of his hands are off below
the elbow. On his right arm he
wears metal continuance with
which he manages to do all sorts VI
stunts, but there is nothing showing
pelo" the other sleeve. A passerby
stopped him. and. in a casual way,
asked if he had lost his hands.
You don't suppose I would be so
careless as to lose my hands," he
replied. but you see they are kind If
heavy to carry around these warm
days. so keep them in my pockets >
1t may have been a saucy answer,
but the Star reporter who got the
story at first hand could hardly
blame him.
Coming down on the train from
New York the other day there were
number Of boys, each Of whom had
lost an arm. A fellow PASSENGER.
possibly with the best intentions in
the world. asked one Of them if he
had lost his arm in the Army. as
though one-armed boy could have
enlisted or would have been drafted
"No." he said, II did not have the
honor of losing my arm for my coun.
try. You see, I was careless one dav.
fell out of boat and got run over"
Another lad told the reporter that
he got his when he was leaning up
against a big barrace at Mons when
some darned fool lifted the barrage
and he fell down and suffered a dcu-
Bile compound fracture. which neces-
stated an amputation.
One day this week young soldier
was walking along one of the in.
closed verandas when a carpenter,
who was engaged in making some
additions. in the course of converse
ton congratulated him on the fact
that he had not suffered any serious
mishap. Now. it so happens that
that particular boy was walking on
two artificial feet at the time. He
merely smiled and walked along
without the slightest sign Of a limp.
apparently rather pleased that a BY
stander should have thought that he
was whole and sound.
Another young soldier was lying in
bed with the left sleeve of his paja-
mas "as empty as nothing at ALL" A
kindly intentioned woman asked him
il he had been hur, IN the arm.
NO" he replied. in a bored tone of
voice IS IL he were tired Of answer
ing foolish questions. "The truth Of
the matters is that I was shot in the
right leg. but my left arm gets tired
Of lying here in bed ard I sometimes
take IT or to rest It a while"
That also may have been a saucy
answer. but the boy was sick and
peevish at The time, and who can
blame him?
