was draw with a fighter who never
appeared here before, Young Wey-
man, of Philadelphia. Before the six
rounds were over Joe had scattered
one or two of his white teeth over
the rosined floor. and while he land
ed oftener than his opponent, he did
no harm to the sorrel-topped Wey-
man. Not a few of the spectators
thought this bricktop won the de-
cision. He was badly handicapped
with one of the shortest pair of
arms ever seen on a pugilist. In
order to reach Joe he had to bore
clear into his carcass. but beyond
landing a blow which dislodged Joe's
eating machinery. he showed no
nerCulean punch. But his hair was
not even rumpled at the end and he
looked able to go many a round at
the same speed with McCarron.
BY all odds, the most exciting of
the evening" as predicted in these
columns several days ago, was a
rare, oldtime, real simonpure scrap
put up by Rube Bennett and Soldier
McGoorty. 1t was the kind of an en-
counter they will talk about for a
long, long time. Curious thing is
that Motive Power spectators do not
seem to realize that in this chap,
Bennett, they have the most finished
and capable boxer who appears at
the arena. Bennett is n cold. esti-
mating sparring wonder, with a
punch in either hand, and he showed
nearly his whole store of tricks last
night, pounding McGoorty until he
was helpless. No more vivid eXhi-
hition of pamenesS was ev"" seen at
this cluh than the luton McGcorsy
showed. lie was saved a couple
times by the bell and was finally
knocked out in the third round.
a false alarm proved to be one
Eddie Graney, of South Bethlehem,
who was punching bag for Eddie
Loechner, of Lancaster, the chap
who lost recently to young Mahoney.
Loechner was gassed at Argonne in
France and in process of recovering
Graney managed to hang on for
about four minutes all told and fell
i'll a heap for the X. o. but he was
able to retire very quickly.
Jack Wolpert, of York, was too
much for Battling Peskos,, who
looked good for three rounds doing
some clever boxing, but was mot
able to hit the punching York
champion. Peskos did not look to
be in Wolpert's class.
The first bout saw n brace of To-
miliar figure at the Motive Power,
and lad named Machamer. 1t was
Peters all the way for four rounds
and he finally made the other quit,
the excuse being a sprained hand.
Two little fellows, George and
Francis Gross, who live at 1109
Plum street, were an amusing spec
tacle for a couple rounds, with
their father refereeing.
Before the wndup, Joe Barrett
announced that he would have Lew
Tendl here in the second week in
May to meet a good man at Chest
nut street. Among the celebrities
present was Jimmy Pappas, fly
weight champion, living at Reading.

Small Chance For the
Big Fight to Come
Off in Maryland

/ Baltimore. Md, April 30.-While
! Governor Harrington did not come
! out with an emphatic mo" in reply
to the request of prominent men of
/ Cumberland, who asked that he
| keep hands off and permit them to
| proceed with plans to stage Jess
/ Willard and Jack Dempsey in a
worlds heavyweight boxing bout on
July 4, the up-Staters took his an
swer as a rundown. Only Il few re-
mained in Baltimore, while others
hit the mountain trail for home sore
as hornets.
After conference which lasted
practically from $50 Monday night
to 6 yesterday, the Governor an
nounced that he would not give his
assurance, at the present, that he
would not interfere. He explained
that there was opposition to the
bout being had in Maryland and
that he felt ii his duty to listen to
the protests.
SO, while it was not an emphatic
no it was another delay, and de-
lay seemed to mean the same as
no TO the USnt boosters, because
they had been given only until :
O'Clock last night to secure the guar
antee required to bring the big scrap
to this State.
The Governor knew all of the
conditions, but is said TO have felt
that he could not have the protest
ants before him within the time linn
it set by Tex RiCkard, the man who
has the signatures of the boxers to
Il contract.
Rickard was told the result of the
conference over the long distance
telephone and was far from down
cast. What he said gave some of
the boosters faint hope. Perhaps
it is final hope, but they have sent
John w. Snyder on to New York to
see the promoters and talk things
over once again.

 Consumption of Sugar Not Reduced
 Contrary to current belief, and not withstanding the limitations imposed upon consumption. the American people have consumed in 1918 an amount almost equal to the yearly average of the last decade. Consump- ton has approximated 10000 tons a day, or at the rate of 300. 900 tons q month, which is about the average normal consumption during the past ten years. While it is true that many have stinted themseIvese, yet the ra- tiOning has acted as a stimulus for others to buy. The saving effected by conservation has been to a con
 
 creased purchases of those who. be- cause of the publicity given to sugar restrictions, bought more than they otherwise would. Necessarily, the ra- tioning was administered horizontally throughout the United States, and while the normal consumption of cer- tain localities was reduced, in others the ration was in excess of normal. Accordingly, while certain areas were limited in their consumption, the ef- feet in others was to increase the purchases.

Some Salient Features of The American Sugar Refining Company's Annual Report for 1918 Submitted the Stockholders at
 ucir Annual Meeting

Administration directed this Company and other Eastern anad Southern Re fineries to discontinue selling sugar iu various markets. In October the Food Administration discontinued the supply of raw sugar to Southeren Re liners for domestic distribution with the result that after Novem Der 1st Southern Refiners were out of the do- mestic market. Throughout the last three months of the year all Eastern RefIners were limited to a market consisting only of the New England States and portions of other North Atlantic States. The balance of the United States was supplied during this period by Western Cane, Domestic Beet and Louisiana Plantation sugars It will be seen that the territory avail able to this company and to other Eastern and Southern Refiners was but a fraction of the total to be serv- ed. and that competitors Of this com Dany were supplying sugars in vol Ume, amply sufficient to meet the en- tire requirements of the population situated West and South of the boun- diaries stated.
 The fact that for six months of the past year competitors of the company furnished the sugar needed by the greater part of the United States is a complete answer to any statement that this company could in any manner ex- ert domi~Iting control over the sugar business of the country. Profits
