TRICKS IN RING CONDEMNED
Smart Boxers Get Away With 1t, but
Ordinary Fighters Are Not Quite
Smooth Enough.

Smart boxers can get away with
ring tricks, but the ordinary run mess
things up, according to Harry Dona-
hue, Eastern lightweight. He says:
"Dirty tricks in the ring are the
worst things boxer can pull. He not
only hurts himself, but he hurts the
fight and the fight game. Some boxers
are so smart they can get away with
it, but the ordinary lads can't. Johnny
Kilbane and Packy Mcfarland were
two of the trickiest men ever boxed,
but they had their work so polished
that very few discovered 1t. Kilbane
had a habit of tripping an opponent
and throwing him on his back. He Gid
it on me and almost put NE out. He
had dazed me with right to the chin

put his foot behind mine and pulled Ii
from beneath me. / fell fiat on my
back, my head striking the floor with
such force that / was almost complete

was to stab with his finger ends, par
ticularly on the wishbone. The first
stab would not hurt, nor perhaps the
second, but he would continue to stab.

Ten thousand Have Lost Liberty Bonds

MORE than 10000 owners of Liberty
IVA bonds and Victory notes have lost
their bonds either through theft,
through destruction by burning, or
through some form of carelessness.
The last official figures showed 1858
persons having lost their bonds, of
whom 6,03S were holders of coupon
bonds. These figures are up to the
close of the last fiscal year.
For those who have lost their cOu-
pom bonds there is little relief. For
those who have lost registered bonds
there is every probability Of relief.
Government officials say probably So
100000 coupon bonds still are in the
hands of purchasers.
The tales of those who had lost
their coupon bonds are most pitiable
in many Instances. Poor women who
have struggled and saved to purchase
government securities, either through
carelessness or a variety of unfortu-
nate circumstances suddenly find
themselves minus the bonds. They
endeavor to recover them, fail, and
then present their plea to the govern

TARAi COMMENTS ON
CHANGES IN RACING
Veteran Jockey of American
Courses Is Surprised.
Does Not Understand Why Riders
Drive Mounts at Top Speed From
Moment Barrier Is Released
Regardless of Distance.

There have been few riders to pos
sess the confidence of the public in the
same degree as Fred Taral,, who has
recently returned to the United States
to take up permanent residence after
many years of absence in Germany,

each of them capable of handling a
horse with skill and judgment.
The veteran was surprised to find
that the practice of waiting with a
horse appeared to have become lost
art In so far as the present-day jockey
is concerned. After watching a days
sport at Jamaica, during which each
rider in the six races was engaged in
an effort to drive his mount at top
speed from the moment the barrier
was released, no matter what distance
was to be covered, he remarked to
some friends:
81 can't see why boy shouldn't
wait in second or third place when he
has his horse in hand and is going
easy. Making the pace is handicap
in any instance. Every jockey should
study his fields the night before a
race and he ought to know something
of the characteristics of the horses OPP
posed to him and their riders as well.
He could thus map out plan of ac-
tion for the following day. This was
my custom and l know that it was

BASEBALL ENJOYED ITS
MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR

Baseball has closed the most
prosperous year in its history.
The estimated cleanup" for the
majors is in the neighborhood of
$1O,OOO,OOO. Not a club in either
circuit lost money. Every one
made huge profits-even the low
ly Athletics and Phillies.
The tail-end clubs didn't draw
so well at home, but when on the
road, and pitted against outfits
that were in the pennant fight,
the crowds simply packed In.
And the visiting teams gathered
in so per cent of the "spoils."
The Yankees, with Babe Ruth
as the magnet, are reported as
having cleared close to $2,000,0O0
on the year-a profit far in ex-
cess of anything in the long an
mails of the game. The Indians
garnered in the vicinity of $780,
600, and the Dodgers grabbed off
nearly $750,000. The White Sex,
packing the parks at home and
abroad, are said to have netted
Comiskey more than half a nil
lion.
And the Giants, tail-enders
throughout the early months and
pennant warriors later-earned
nearly $1,000, 900.
