Jen1 Belcher Fights Three
 Bouts With Only One Eye
Champion Suffers Loss of Eye When Struck By Ball Retires, But Comes Back With Remarkable
 Courage-Lossesr

1 Belcher. even at that advanced age. had been blessed with two good eyes he would have whipped Cribb without drawing a long breath.
 LAST FIGHT
 Nearly two years later Belcher chal- lenged Cribb again. He was a sick man at the time, but insisted upon going into the ring. He had dropped far from the physical pinnacle of his fighting days and was a dozen miles removed from the condition which he had been in when he fought in 1S07
 So when the two entered the ring, IL was a foregone conclusion that if Bel cher's courage alone could not win for him, he was due for a terrible beating. Belcher fought gamely-but against inn possible odds. He survived 40 minutes Of fighting and then went down before an onslaught of blows-never to appear in a prize ring again.
 Belcher was arrested following the fight and served B days in jail. Sickness came to him after that and for nearly two years he was something of an in valid. On July 9, 1911 death came to him at the age of 39-a man who died in the flower of his youth but who will never be forgotten by those who recall some of the greatest warriors that puGillsm ever has known.

CThis is the third and concluding in stalment of series of three articles which deal with the ring career of Jem Belcher, the twentieth heavyweight cham pion of the worId)
 On April 12, 1s03, Jena Bclcher took on John FFirby. known as "The Young Rut- fan" Firby was no taller than Belcher but outweighed him something like 4o pounds and went into the fight heralded as an amazing warrior. But he didn't prove so. For Belcher used him as he would a punching bag. The fight lasted less than 20 minutes. Belcher got % per cent of the s500 purse for winning
 Misfortune came to Jem Belcher in an unusual way on July 4, lsT-an accident which practically wrote the word "finis' on brilliant ring career. While playms at racouets a ball struck him in the eye and so great was the impact that the eveball popped out of it's sockets. This permanently blinded Belcher in one eye and immediately afterward he announced his retirement from the ring awarding the title to Henry Pearce, "The Game Chicken
 Pearce made quite a ring record TOT himself and became rather arrogant over his rise. During a meeting with Belcher later the two quarrelled. As a result the one-eyed Jem Belcher challenged Pearce to a fight Fletcher Reid agreed to Dac* Belcher for s2590 and an English sports man named Halliday put up similar side bet in behalf of Pearce
 SES-HANDICAP Lack of condition caused by failure to train for a long period of months counted heavily against Belcher But the loss or his eye was the real handicap. Pearce kept fighting as much as possible on Belchers blind side and rained eRWs upon the former champion which Iei- cher never saw levelled at him.
 After thirty-five minutes of fishtlhs Belcher was whipped.
 Belcher announced that he was throusn with the ring forever. But the old hght- ing spirit reasserted itself in 1S7 and he challenged Tom Cribb. Those who eA- Epected to see Belcher beaten with Iew punches received the surprise or their lives. Belcher lost, yes, but not untl after he had staged most remarhapie battle. Blinded, and only shadow ol his former self. as far as physical con- dition was concerned, Belcher stood TOT 4t rounds against the king Of Engllsh pugilsts. His courage and his gameness
 in that contest stand out as moumehts to his memory. Every person at the ring. side was a unit in the behef that IA

LENA BLACKBURNE
 IS ABOUT THROUGH
Former Philly Infeilder Has Seen His Best Days as a
 Baseball Player

Is Russell Gena) Blackhurne through as a major leasuer? Alter a checkered career in the majors. he has been shunted to the Toronto club in the International League by the Phillies. and it looks as though he will remain in the sticks, at least until some limping major club finds itself in dire need of an infielder.
 Lena BIackburne has had one of the most remarkable careers in the history of baseball. He was purchased by Charles Comiskey back in 1911 for a price said to be sS,5OO. It was almost a record figure for a busher at that time. Blackburne never justified that expenditure, but his ability to play sensational ball at times prevented his being returned immediately to slow company.
 Blackburne might have been star per former had he gained entrance to the majors in a different way. When he joined the White Sox it was with slathers of advertising. He was expected to do something sensational at every turn. When he fell down at bat or in the field, White Sox fans were not slow to ride

MANDY HAS GOOD
 CLAIM ID TITLE Commodore Quintet Was Not Defeated Once By a
 College Team

Nashville, Tenn, March 9.-(SpeciaL)- vanderbilts claim to the 1919-1920 college championship in basketball, made by the Commodores at the close of the season. is based on a clean slate in all college games this winter.
 The Commodores have defeated Centre College, Maryvilles University of Chatta- nooga, Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia, who in turn have blasted the hopes of other championship aspraiitS not met by the Gold and Black quintet
 Vanderbilt lost only four games during the season, one to the Mobile '. NJ. C. A., two to the Nashville Y. Nj. C. A., and ohs to the Memphis Y. NJ C. A., from whom the Commodores also won one decision. Scalps from some of the strongest I M. c. X. teams in the country are numbered by Vandy as the seasons trophies.
 An invitation to the Commodores 10 participate in the basketball tournament in Atlanta came too late, as the Vanoy quintet had already used up all~of the travel time allowed a team in one season by the faculty bosses.
 The team which has just turned Tn us suits will lose Cody, ZersSss and Adams from this years first five, but will hafS next fall Norton, Graves, Morrow, GleaVes and Floyd to build up another champion ship time These five could take the floor now on a parity with any college team III the South and will make no mean nu- cleus for the 1920-1921 varsity.

 Five more players made their pres ence known to Moley and Col Smith yesterday. Pitcher Fox, a Tennessee mountain product. drifted in yester- day morning. Black, second baseman, also turned up. Hap Henderson, who played semi-pro baseball in Birming ham last season, came in from among the wilds 'of Alabama, where he has been passing the winter. Catcher Col quit arrived in Birmingham last night. Whitey Glazner, Avondale finger, also drifted into headquarters yesterday Whitey has been in town all winter, and expressed himsslf as ''raring to go' and confident tnat he has lost none of his old time pitching prowess. which made him famous before his de- parture for France to serve in the A.

 Moley was not specific as to what form of exercise he will put his play CTS through today, but it is a known fact that the chubby chieftan is a firm believer in the policy of taking things slowly. He will probably give his players only a light workout for to- day.

GERMAN PRODUCTION
 Is NOW ON DECLINE

BERLIN. July 7- "GcrmalyS greatest trouble at the present tim IS her decline in production" said Carl Friedrich v0n Siemens at the annual shareholders meeting of the Siemans X Halske electrical concern today
 Nowhere in Germany is the inn perativc need for increasing product i've labor sufficiently appraised" he continued. "Far too many people are engaged in non- productive work; the number of officials in state and priv .te enterprises is excessive. All stat sites based on the mark standard how large increases, but that stand md is d false one. Expressed in tons, nroduction has declined largely"
 Herr von SiemenS said that the re- .cnt improvement in the German ex- change. however gratifying in itself, has nad the eIiccI Ol ltStii''i'S ~
 ports. In many ranges of articles man fractured by the company, the domeS- aic prices had already exceeded the world market prices. Even countries with q bad exchange like Germany were already almost completely bar red to them.
 There was a worldwide demand for all classes of goods, said Herr von Siemens, but the high cost of produc- tion was killing business, and to a great extent these high prices were caused by under-production.
