All this was brought about by the
government through the accident OF wal
emergency. People had Clamored for
years for some sort Of regulation Of
rates as would make II worth while to
operate barges down the Mississippi,
but friends of the railroads thought this
would interfere with their eVenue, and
the dream was never realized. But
when the railroads came under The con-
troll OF the government and freight cars
were everywhere congested or railroads
were crowded with moving troops, the
inland waterways at last came into their
own. The railroads which had fought
1t, must now see that, far from being
a serious factor Of competition, the use
OF the Mississippi has become an out
let for foreign trade Joint rail and
water rates have been fixed so hat
wheat can be shipped to elevators in
st. Louis, for example, and carried to
the far corners Of the globe without
going through crowded New York.
There are plenty Of opportunities for
both the railroads ana the waterways
as the experience of the last three
months has shown. Forty-six barges
are quilt or building, st. Louis is Vlr-
tually an ocean port, and the United
states has q direct n cheap channel
of exit for export trade running through
the geographical center OF the country,
This is a region Of staples, not luXurios.
Here shoes and ready-to-wear articles,
as well as foodstuffs, issue in enormous
quantities for domestic and foreign COLI
sumption. Already st. Louis has elab-
crate plans to finance foreign trade OPP
erations. And, as said at the outset,
adjustments OF war contracts were
practically negligible here, so st. Louis
was ready instantly to resume her great
task OF supplying the country with sta
pies just as soon as land and water
tonnage was released for the business
OF peace time.
Prohibition seems to be almost as
little q worry hereabouts as the politi-
cal future of Jim Reed. The breWeries
are going to be converted to other
uses-some will make near-beer and
soft beverages, others have already
been turned into high-grade packing
plants. Saloons are going to become
soda fountains or will be- remodeled for
dwellings, of which st. Louis is lust now
in serious need.

"Unseen Hand" Attempts to Wreck Card, But Cur ley Goes Through, Al though At Loss of $273.

NEW HAVEN, April 3O.-Some people are born lucky, others inherit luck But there are still others who know not even what the word ''Iuck'' means.
 And fin this latter class we per hapS can enter the name of Dick Curley of this city. Dick has pro- noted almost a dozen first class box ing entertainments for various clubs ! thst he represented in the capacity of matchmaker or manager. But every time he undertakes to conduct a show for his own profit and backs his venture with his own money luck 1 turns against him and he is usually found on the short end.
 Odd, you'll say. Well, we'll say so, too. It was Dick CurIey who put over that big Johnny Kilbane- Benny Leonard fight in Philly. And
 it was Dick, too, who promoted the ! two big war benefits in New Haven. l Then, too, twill be remem bered that
 it was Curley also who staged big fights in the days when boxing was
 in full bloom in New York. But l these he also promoted for some one
 alse.
 Then to make matters worse Leo ! ?. Flynn, after faithfully promising Promoter Curley that Pete Hartley of
 Derby would positively be here to box
 Louis Bo@lsh of Bridgeport, went
 back on his word, for nowhere wal
 the Durable Dane" to be found when
 the time came for him to enter the 2. ring. Curley hoped and hoped, but in
 vain
 { Pete Hartley and his manager, Leo i ?. Flynn, may say what they like but , the fact is now definitely establish
 
 a. pure and simple case of 'cold i feet" And incidentally it can be
 said that Hartley can no longer hope any one in Connecticut to want to 1 patronize any battle in which he is | billed to participate.
 Hartley and his manager have ac- 1 cused Bogash of practically every | thing under the sun. Leo P. claimed l in emphatic terms and went even so
 far as to say that he would put up any amount Louis Bogash's s manager would stipulate that the Dane could | defeat the Park City lad. Then Cur l ley offered him the match, which he accepted. But last week he went back on his word and matched Hart 1 ley for another bout. Dick Curley
 phoned him at Rochester and re- ' ceived assurances from him that Pet
 CT would be here. But he didn't l come. Hartley's claim that he was .-=-lfraid of Bogash was put to the | test-and Hartley developed nothing ! but the rawest and meanest case of | cold feet a Connecticut promoter has
 had the misfortune of having called | 70 his attention.
 Johnny Martin was substituted for 1 Hartley and although not in condf-
 ton and without having trained, he
 put up a comparatively good battle
 although Bogash defeated him de-
 cisively. It took a lot of arguing
 and persuasion on the part of Dick Curley to finally succeed in inducing
 Sam Driver. Bogash's manager, to ] consent to such a match. But they l finally agreed with the result that it
 turned out to be a fairly good battle, although the ultimate outcome was

 BOgash Defeats Martin;
 Doyle Outclasses MOhr

never in doubt.
 While Martin was all action, run ming here and there, and in and out,
 he landed few clean blows, but came into possession of many. But he stood by his guns gameIy and it was
 his determination and ability to stand
 punishment that made the bout as interesting as it was.
 BOgash had trained hard and was apparently in good shape, but what a l big boy Louis has grown to be! He has put on considerable eight and it
 will be a difficult thing for him to
 take off enough poundage to get down to the lightweight limit if he
 is called upon to make such weight, although his manager claims that he
 is a legitimate lightweight today.
 But this does not matter. Bogash
 is one of the best fighting machines
 in this State. He knows his game and isn't afraid to mingIe with the
 best of them. He was perhaps the most disappointed of the lot because Hartley did not show up, for he had made up his mind to stop him. How ever, this was unnecessary. for the fact that Pete absented himself last night, is nothing but an acknow- ledgement from Leo P. Flynn and
 
 for of the two. And it will take more than words from either Flynn or Hartley now to convince the public that the situation is otherwise.
 But as for last nights bout: tt was merely a workout for Bogash, al though a hard workout it was at that and perhaps when Martin rounds in- to his real shape he will be capable of giving the Park City man a stiff fer contest than he was able to give last night. Johnny is a, nifty south paw boxer with great jab. How ever, he was in no condition to box we'll As for Bogash he worked all the while but he won by a wide mar gin Paul Doyle of New Haven proved to the crowd that he is as good, if not better, than ever by defeating Walter Mohr of Brooklyn in a decisive man. ner Both were in perfect physical condition, according to their own statements to the writer. To these must go the credit of having furnish ed the best bout of the evening. They slugged. boxed and spared. Doyle, however, was far the better of the two landed cleaner punches and displaying the greater assort- ment of blows most of which landed ! solidIy. But Wally was too game and it was his gameness mingled with occasional aggressiveness that made the contest so interesting and eXcit- ing. Seemed like old times to see the ! wonderfully clever Walter Mohr in that ring for a. gamer battler than the Brooklyn blonde never has enter ed the ring. He has met them all
 and stood the gaffing when the talk ing was necessary but we have seen
 him also when he was on the giving
 end Had WaIly taken better care of
 himself in the days when he nation ally was recognized as a, big gun in
 pugiIism he might have landed the
 championship, for he had all the
 qualifications of one-and more than
 that he acted like one. But he could
 not be depended upon. He was then
 of the lazy type and money went as
 fast as he made 1t. But the Walter

 was.

The Bridgeport High school met their first defeat of the season yester- day at the hands of the Greenwich High school at Seaside park by the score of 15 to 13. The large score was due to the large number of CT TOTS made by both teams. The Bridge port High school will line up against the Crosby High school of Waterbury this afternoon at Seaside park.

By THE LINKSAIAN.

From all indications the current golfing season in this section prom lses to be a banner one for members of the fair sex. Both the Brooklawn and Weatogue clubs this season will stage far more tournaments for the women than have been scheduled in past years.
 Although the season has just open ed in the North, the turnout of the women on local greens has been most encouraging and there is every reason for believing that they have finally awakened to the fact that golf is as much a, woman's sport as it is a mans. As a matter of fact. women in Bridgeport have been taking part in tournaments in larger mum bers with every succeeding season.
 The greens at the BrookIawn Country Club are patronized daily by scores of women. Many of them give signs of turning in some good cards. So keen is the interest in the sport among the fair sex that a com mittee, headed by Mrs. w. T. Havi- land. will this season arrange for a number of championship and novel tournaments to be decided a the Brooklawn club. The first of these tournaments, it is expected. will be held within two or three weeks.
 Arrangements for the big metro- politan amateur golf championship that will be decided at the Brook lawn Country club beginning with next Monday and closing the follow ing Thursday are nearing comple- ton, according to announcement made today. Great is the interest that is being taken in this tourna- ment, the first big one to be staged at any club in Connecticut.
 The tournament will in all prob ability attract some of the better known players of the country. Among those who are known to have ex- pressed intentions of playing here during the championship competf- ton are the following: Jerry Ira vers, Oswald Kirby, Hardener W. White, Henry Coping. Hamilton. Carr, Ned Sawyer, John J. Anderson and a number of others equally well known.
