Another contender for Jack Demp-
sey's heavyweight championship was re-
moved abruptly at the Arena A. A. in
Jersey City last night when Al Reich,
the West Side Adonis, was knocked out
in the third round by Tumble Tom Cow
Ter. the Cumberland Man Mountain. It
was not genuine knockout at that,
for while Reich was in a reclining po-
siton at the count Of four. Referee
Danny Sullivan stopped the bout.
A smashing right to the jaw was the
motive power that floored Big AL for
the second time during the brief con-
test, and Jimmy Johnston, Reich's
manager, scenting that his man was as
good as finished, doused the fallen
Adons with ii buckctful Of water.
Cowler demonstrated at this, but just
then the referee called halt, tech
nically disqualifying Reich.
Two Of the other three scheduled
star bouts terminated in the second
round. Gene Tunney, heavyweight
champion of the A. Z. f., stopped Bob
Pearce, of Chicago. in that distance,
and Jeff Smith duplicated the perform
ancc against Jack Coync. The latter
pair are middlewei ghts, and they sub
sttutcd for Harry Greb and Augie
Rather. Grebs manager informed the
club officials during the afternoon that
Greb was too i'll to keep his engage
ment.
Johnny Kilbane. the worlds feather
weight champion, appeared in the final
bout Of the evening, against Young
Andy CLANCY, Of Baltimore, feather
weight champion of the American En-
peditionary Forces, The bout went the
scheduled eight rounds, but Kilbane
made miserable showing for cham
pion. The Clevelander did anything
but fight, except In the last two rounds,
when his lead WAS threatened. Then
he cut loose and showed up his less
experienced opponent.
The Reich Cowler match was the
magnet that drew close to 10000 into
the Fourth Regiment Armory and the
fans we're we'll repaid. After his two
round knockout Of All Roberts several
weeks age it was expected Reich would
dispose of the lanky Englishman in like
fashion. But AL showed the old temer-
lty early in the bout. while Cowler,
showing the agility of lightweight
and the punchingSpower Of a Dempsey
/ improved every opportunity and had
Reich on the defensive most of the
time.
: Near the end of the second round
ote Vi LOWER ; IIRnt uPpercutS landed
flush on Reich's chin and the
former amateur heavyweight champion
went down for count of "nine." Upon
arising he fell into clinch and the
bell rang before Cowler could do any
more damage.
Reich showed extreme caution to
start the third round, but after a
minute he tempted fate by engaging
in an interchange of blows Out Of
the furry of flying fists Cowler's right
crashed to Reich's jaw and down went
the West Slider. Sullivan started to
/ count over him and as he reache cd
"four" Jimmy Johnston jumped onto
chair and with sponge in hand and
treated Reich to generous helping
of water, automatically losing the fight
for his man.

lthacans Make Sweep of
3 Matches; 1913 Cham
pions in Second Place

Cornell's players won the champion
ship Of the Triangular College Chess
League. at the rooms Of the Manhattan
Chess Club yesterday by defeating
their old rivals from the University Of
Pennsylvania in the third and final
round by the score Of 3 games to |.
The lthacans thereby wrested the
title from the representatives of tho
College of the City of New York, who
had been defeated by Pa to Il in the
second round. 1nasmuch as New
York University had been disposed Of
to the tune Of 3 to in the only match
tie newcomers in the league had lost
outright, the upstate collegians wound
up with totals of So and 31a, or two
points better than the record of City
College, which tied New York Uni
versity in matches won and lost, but led
their metropolitan rivals by one game,
enough to give the eX-champions SEC
ond place.
The match between City College and
New York University yesterday re
suited in a 2-to-2 tie. Pennsylvania, as
last year, was placed last, having scored
but one point in each Of the three
matches.
Cornell's champion team consisted Of
II. Adelsberg, '2l; f. Garfnkel '22; A.
Kcvitz, '23. and G. G. Neidich, '23.
Neither Adelsberg nor Gartinkel suf-
fered defeat, Gariinkel contributing 21a
points toward the teams grand total
and Adeisbcrg, like Kevitz and Neidich,
points.
To Lester Demon, N. Y. u, '2s, fell
the honor of being the only player Of
the sixteen to go through the tourna-
ment with clean score Of three vic
tories. His preparation for the ordeal
was obtained for the most part with
last years champion team at Brooklyn

Doesya t 1t Settle the
Light Car Question?

Light weight in an automobile has
meant principally moderate price and
perhaps gasoline and tire economy
There was enough speed and power to
get aboutbutnone that gave distinction
on the road. Fineness and performances
were not expected.
But the Essex brought fine car quail
ity to the light car field. It's appearance
gave it immediate distinction It's per-
formance placed it in the large costly
car class. Only in size, cost and econ
omy of gasoline, oil and tires was it
compared to cars in the moderate
price field
1s it any wonder that motorists have
praised the Essex as they have? 1t gave
them just what they had wanted. It
was the way by which they could keep
their motoring costs down and still have
car that filled their demands IN per
formance, appearance and endurance.

Mention, France, June 5, 1919.
Dear father and all:
Here l am way down south in
France, on the coast of the Mediter-
ranean sea. ! came here today from
Venfimgila, Italy. This is sure a fine
place; am near the we'll know and
ancient cities of Nice, Marseille,
Mont Garlic, and others. left head
quarters December 23, 1918.
told you in my last letter that
| was going on a trip, but did not
know at that time where they would
send me, and do not know where
will have to 60 from here till I get
my orders. We never know much
about our movements till we get
orders to 60. will perhaps go back
to headquarters, then somewhere
else from there. 1t looks like I will
be on the move all the time now,
from one camp to another, check
ing up, as the boys are leaving for
home, and when we get them all
started for home, you can commence
looking for me.
This place Mention, where I am
writing from, is one port where the
American soldiers from the south
eastern part Of France embark on
the ships when they leave for home,
our soldiers are well treated here,
as they are all over France. The
hotel where am staying Is regular
palace. 1t Is nicer and larger than
the Hotel Utah.
The weather here is like in Cali
fornia, warm and pleasant; 1t looks
nice to see fruit growing on the
trees this time of the year, such as
oranges, lemons, figs, olives, etc., I
have picked and eaten oranges
several times while here. In many
places the orange trees grow by the
and we would drive under
the trees and pick fruit.
Well, Henry, got my promotion
at last, but don't intend to tell you
what it is till get home; am keep
Ing that for a surprise, but will say,
It is no small one, and 1t is quite

the eleventh of this month. They are
glad to start; some of them have
been over here seventeen months.
The weather here is fine now. We
have had sunshine for two days and
this afternoon is real pleasant. Three
of us went for a walk into the
country yesterday afternoon and saw
wild hog. He ran like deer SO
of course we did not see much of
him.
There are lots of goats raised here.
They are black and white. The wo-
men serve as shepherds in this
country and they drive everything
with a whip. 1t looks strange to see
them driving the goats with whips.
This is plowing season in France
and they plow with one horse, which
is lead up and down the fields by
the women folks. So you see they
are long way behind the states.
These people would be dumbf0unded
If they were permitted to see plow
outfit in the states. When they work
more than one horse they string
them out one in front of another and
have a person lead each horse.
Their buggies just have two
wheels and they are made up high
with a door in the back and steps
down to the ground. They don't
look like much to me, but these peo-
pie think they are something very
fine. They hitch donkey to one
and go Jogging down the road with
as much pride as tho they had an
auto.
How are the cattle getting along?
If they had been over here this win
ter you wouldn't have had to feed
them thus far, but am glad they are
where they are. There is too much
rain here to suit me, but the country
is alright for those that like it.
They do everything backwards here
it seems to me, Of course, everyone
has right to their notions, but I'll
take the good old west for mine.
l don't know whether I will get
any more mail while in this country
or not. The last letter received was
the one Clarence wrote Oct. 18. It
seems that have been in this place
long enough for my mail to reach
The Idaho Republican., 1919-02-14

me, because as you. know have been
in this one place since Oct %, and
been in the hospital since Nov. 8,
but don't think from that that am
all shot into pieces because I have
been here SO long. would not have
been left here had not hostilities
ceased when they did.
Have any of the Blackfoot boys,
who were over here arrived home
yet? l have not seen any of them.
Occasionally I see a fellow from
Idaho or Montana, but none that l
know.
The division I belong to are from
Wisconsin. Most of them are in Ger
many now, and there is still some
talk of sending me back, but have
no idea when, and may not go to
the old company at all.
Well, I must close for it is time
to og to work now. Hoping you are
all well, as this leaves me. With love
to all.

SOLDIERS LETTERS

Horton from her son Harry, who is
in France at the present time:
December 25, 1919
Dear mother:
We are having fine time this
joyous Christmas day altho our
thoughts are at home. This is one
of the most joyous Christmases l
have ever spent altho we never re-
ceived our Christmas boxes. 1t
should be the most joyous Christ
mas as the world is at peace and
that is a great thing to be thankful
for, another thing for which we boys
are thankful for is because we are
not in those trenches. The most
bloody and brutal war that man ever
witnessed is over. Those that did not
witness it can never imagine what it
was and never will for it is beyond
expression.
What an exciting dinner of turkey
and mince pie, plenty Of bread,
cheese and coffee. We also had lots
of candy, nuts and oranges.
The Red Cross is giving an enter
tainment at the hut tonight.
Words can never express my en-
thusiasm for the Red Cross and it's
nurses. We would have had hard
time of it if it had not have been for
them They are doing the grandest
work of any organization in the
world. They are entertaining few
French children here as we'll as the
boys.
There is not much to tell so l will
close for this time, at the end Of an
other perfect day.
With love to all am your loving
son,
H. r. HORTON.
