McCloskey Chicks New Pilot Poor Physical Condition
 Causes Molineaux s Defeat
American Fighter Tears Into Cribb and Badly Beats Him During First 10 Minutes-Condton Finally
 Tels-Dies in Poverty
EXHAUSTED
By JAMES J. coRBErT.

punishment, fell to the ground-ending the round.
 EXHAUSTED
 Molineaux was so tired as the sixth be- gan that he could hardly stagger to scratch" And Cribb was blinded and groggy- and terribly beaten. But Cribo had unused stamina to fall back upon and soon he began to call upon it. He scored a few hits in the seventh, few more in the eighth, but it needed no punching to finish Molineaux, for in his furious rushing the negro had finished himself.
 The end came in the eleventh, after nearly 20 minutes of fighting. MolineauX went down in that round, not from a blow that was struck. but from sheer fatigue. He collapsed, although really rnhurt, and it was a long time after the frenzied cheers for Tom Cribb. victor, ha6 died away before he revived
 And so ended Tom Molineaux's dream of world conquest so ended the second battle of the first American invader in quest ~of the puglistic throne. And so ended, as far as illustrious achievements were concerned, the career Of a marvellous fistic warrior.
 Soon after Molineaux was whipped by Cribb he began a tour of the British Isles, appearing in boxing bouts wherever a few dollars would be paid to see him in action agalnSt some 1OCdl pilHe' ne tried to get fights for real money-but the English pugilists, who treasured their regulations, would have none of him.
 DIES IN POVERTY
 The one ambition of Molineaux was to accumulate enough money to pay his steamship fare back to Virginia. He had become homesick. But that simple wish rever was realized. Molineaux earned barely enough to keep him in food and clothing. Often he went hungry; it be- came a common thing for him to sleep out in the open or in barns. For rarely did he have sufficient funds to provide both food and lodging on the same day.
 Early in 1918 Molineaux. now reduced to a skeleton of his former self. contract ed tuberculosis. For months he wan dered around--a human derelict At last two negroes, taking sympathy on him, hid him in the bandroom of the Seventy seventh Regiment armory building in Galway, Ireland. Fearing that if it was discovered that they had secreted Moli- neaux there they would be court mar tialed, the negroes did not summon physician. They nursed Molineaux in their pitifully incapable way.
 And some time during the night of Au- gust 4, ISIS, Tom Molineaux aged 34 with no one at his bedside to whisper last farewell, passed into the Great Beyond.

GEORGIA QUINTET WINS TWO GAMES Furman and WOffOrd Are Taken Into Tow-Play
 Mercer Monday
By CAREY J. WILLIAMS.

Athens, Ga, January 16.-t tSpeclah]- Coach Stegeman and his Red and Black warriors returned to Athens today aIt- CT completing a successful road trip of two games in the Palmetto State. The Georgia quintet played Fur man college in Greenville Tuesday night and took the measure of this az gregation by the score of 41 to 20. Fur man boasted of having one Of the pest college quintets in that section or oouth Carolina, and in defeating the Furman crew Georgia accomplished something to be proud of.
 From Greenville the Red and Black quintet journeyed to Spartanburg, where they took the fast Wofford Col lege five into camp by the score Of 4i to 23 thereby making clean sweep on the South Carolina state tour. These games were the first this sea son that the Georgia quintet has played away from home In defeating these two excellent Palmetto State quintets Georgia has defeated teams that will help immensely in the race TOT the southern basketball title.
 Unlike some quintets, the Georgia five is not a one-man's team, but every member of the squad is past master in his respective department or play. Their playing has displayed the ear marks of masterly coaching and thelr triumphS over the AuDurn LIB eeIo, u,
 man and Wofford is indeed comph-
 ment to Coach Stegeman and his strong
 quintet.
 In the games with Furman and Wot-
 ford a new star on the squad was
 brought to light in the person or Ed .
 tie Rawsons a star athlete that halls
 from G M c. Rawson was the leading
 scorer in the Wofford game and his
 excellent playing in the Thurman game
 enabled Georgia to defeat the Furman aggregation as bad as they did.
 TO PLAY MERCER MONDAY Coach Stegeman is practicing the squad in preparation for the Georgla- Mercer game here Monday night. The Mercer Baptists have an excellent quin- tet this year. and handed the Florloa Gators a severe lacing this week. The Mercer-Georgia games have all ways been excellent ones, and indica- tions point toward the fact that the games with the Baptist College this year will be no exception.
 Mercer has several stars on the1r az gregation and Georgia is expecting stiff opposition in the Baptist boys.

A TERRIBLE BEATING

Molineaux, racing in at the Englishman with both of his brawny fists flying, landed the first blow, drew first blood and dealt out to Cribb in the first l0 minutes a beating of the most terrible kind. He split the lip of the champion, ripped open one cheek, closed both eyes and as the fourth ended Crlbn was groggy and bleeding profusely.
 If Molineaux had only been trained little-if he only had the energy to "carry on at top speed for another 10 min utes-he would have been a certain win ner But as the men came out for the fifth it was plain that Molineaux had "shot his bolt" Although almost un- marked, he was arm and leg weary; puff fling and wheezing, near to exhaustion.
 But he determined upon one final rally. Tossing every iota of his almost depleted reserve energy into the effort, the negro tore into Cribb like madman and drove him around the ring with the fury Of his blows At last Cribb, to escape further

ARTISTS AND ART
We got to talking art one day. discussing in a
general way
How some can match with brush and paint
the glory of tree,
And some in stone can catch the things or whlch
the dreamy poet sings.
While others seem to have no way to tell the
joys they see.
Old Blake had sat in silence there and let each
one of us declare
Our notions of what's known as art, until he'd
heard through;
And then said he: at seems to me that any man,
whoeer he be,
Becomes an artist by the good he daily tries
to do.
He need not write the books men read to be an
artist. No, indeed!
He need not work with paint and brush to
show his love of art;
Who does kindly deed today and helps an
other on his way,
Has painted beauty on face and played the
poets part.
Though some of us cannot express our inmost
thoughts of loneliness,
We prove we love the beautiful by how we
act and live
The poet singing of tree greater poet is
than he
Who finds it in his heart some care unto n
tree to give.
Though he who works in marble stone the name
of artist here may own,
No less an artist is the man who guards his
children WELL
TITS art to love the fine and true, by what we
are and what we do
How much we love fes nober things TO all
the world we tell"

POVERTY AND PELLAGRA
GO HAND In HAND, SAY
CEy The Associates Press)

Washington, Dec. 15.-Poverty
and pellagra go hand in hand, the
United States Public Health serv-
lice concludes after a three-year
study of the disease in the cotton
mills of South Carolina.
GAS the income fell the disease
was found to increase and to affect
more and more other members OF
the same family" says an an
nouncement by the service. AS
the income rose, the disease de-
creased and was rarely found in
families that enjoyed the highest
incomes, even though this highest
was still quite low.
differences among families
with the same incomes are attri-
buted by the report to differences
in the expenditures for foed, in
telligence of the housewife, and
ownership of cows, gardens, etc.
Differences among villages which
were economically similar are at
trlhuted to differences in the avail
ability and condition of food in
local markets.
"A recent statement by one Of
the largest life insurance compa-
mics in the United States indicates
that the food standards of South
erl wage earners must have i'm
proved remarkably of late, for tho
death rate from pellagra has fall

Finally, Japan earnestly contends that the inter-
ests of peace demand that she increase her navy.
Baron Hayashi, one of her leading spokesman. does
! not explain exactly what he means
Now. to the rninitiated, it seems that some one
nation ought to take the lead in this business Such
perfect concert of action to impel three four
powers simultaneously to disarm or to decrease
their military naval strength is more of a
mathematical than practical possibility OF course,
it COULD be done, but even limited experience
in worldly affairs will convince us that great
events rarely happen spontaneously.
Some nation ought to break the ice. The
United States would prefer it to be Great Britain
or Japan Great Britain really can't why
the United States needs a big navy, any way;
and Japan simply MUST have a big fleet to keep
peace in the Far East--and there you are!
We Americans know that the United States has
no aggressive intentions. We know that the peo-
pie of this country would not tolerate a war of
conquest But is the rest of the world, in these
days of mutual distrust and suspicion, of
this fact we are?
At the same time, Difference to foreign opinion
should not deter from taking any action neces-
sary for our defense. The thing we want to be
sure of is that such action is in reality necessary
for defense
IN the meanWmle, inc duupllon ny INC dSSelll-
bly, of the league of nations of resolution recon-
mending the limitation OF ornaments for two
years furnishes slight ray of hope that the ma
tons of the world eventually come to an I'M
Outstanding on this important matter.
Nevertheless it is significant that France,
Brazil. Chile, Greece, Poland Rumania and Uru-
quay voted against the resolution. This means
perhaps that France does not yet feet secure
against Germany that Poland is still suspicious of
Red Russia; that Chile expects trouble with Bolivia
or Peru over the Tacna-A africa controversy; that
Greece and Rumnnia want to be prepared for the
next big Balkan row. Why Brazil and Uruguay
should object to the limitation of ornaments is
not clear.
This Worldwide feeling of distrust does not
mean that an international agreement cannot be
arrived at, under which ornaments can be kept
down to a reasonable Size chiefly for police pur-
poses But it does that the process of get
ting concert of action in this matter must of
necessity be slow one
The adoption Monday of statute for perma-
nent international court of justice was at least
an indication that the nations which belong to the
assembly of the league can agree one question;
at any rate.

COFFIN is ROBBED OF
MANY VALUABLE JEWELS

Marburg, Jugo-Slavia, Dec. 10
The wonderful coffin of st. Elisa
beth in the church of that name,
has been robbed of many of its fin
est jewels. Twelve very large pearls
and 1873 precious stones of great
value were pried from the encrus-
tation. Many valuable robes also
were stolen.
In life, st. Elisabeth was the
Countess Won Thuringen Won Wart-
turg and was known for her char
tiles. Against the will of her hus-
band. it was her custom to slip
from the castle Warthurg and
carry food TO- the poor of the town,
The legend goes that on one occa-
sion he caught her bearing a great
basket and demanded TO see its
contents. The frightened lady
lifted the cover, but instead of the
bread and meat and wine she had
placed there it was filled with
beautiful roses.

Of MEXICO DEAD
tBy The Associated rressl

Mexico City, Dec. 15,--General
Benjamin Hill, the secretary Of
war, died early this morning He
had been critically i'll for several
days.
The death of General Hill caused
great excitement here. In official
circles it was declared he was re-
garded as an important factor in
the consolidation of the various
factions which made the election
of General Obregon to the presi-
dency possible. General Hill had
an especially strong following in
the north among the Yaqui Indians.
For hours preceding the genef-
ais death crowds collected outside
his residence. When word was re-
ceived from the sick chamber that
he was dead, several members of
the Yaqui guard wept and Wailings
and lamentations went up from the
crowds.
