BILLY GRUPP HAS
 A COMING CHAMPER

Billy Grupp pens the following to The Times sporting editor:
 Anderson, a young boy of IS years, is the latest sensation in the bantam weight class. Anderson surprised the boxing world a short time ago by de- cisively outpointing Midget Smith in a 12 round contest. Both judges and referee agreed on Anderson.
 Anderson has been boxing about eight months and is the claSSieSt boy in the ring today for his young years. Now if some of the leading bantam weights will agree to box Eddie the boxing fans will have chance to see one of the greatest bantamweights of the present time.

Railroad Ordered
To Reinstate Men

CHICAGO, Sept. 18.-The United
States Railroad Labor Board yester-
day established a precedent that rail-
roads do not have the right to dis
charge employees without just cause in
ruling that the Butler county rail
road, ii mile line in Southern Miss
ouri, must reinstate two men released
because they belonged to the same
union as the men working under them
The decision said that the board was
fully aware its ruling was contrary to
numerous United States Supreme
Court decisions on the matter, but that
it construed its duty to be to decide
every question justly and reasonably
regardless of the legal rights of either
side.
The board is fully aware of the SUI
preme court decisions Chat a corpor-
alton has the rights to discharge its
men as it sees fit) and has no dspo-
sltlon IN any way to question the
soundness of these decisions" said the
boards ruling.
The ruling then pointed out that the
Transportation act, creating the board
gave it no power to enforce its decree.
and that one might take the view that
the board was to decide its case ac-
cording to the legal angles and that
court would uphold and enforce them
or that it was to decide in a just and
reasonable manner" which would be
as fair as possible to all concerned.
The public interests demand con-
tinuous and uninterrupted operation
of the transportation lines" said the
decision.
The decision held that while rail-
road could pick its officials as it saw
fit joining union was not Just cause
for discharge.

American Soldiers Like
Their German Hosts
Men Stationed In Germany Dread
Orders To Return Home

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18-The
American army in Germany sitting
on the top of the world, and is living
in perpetual dread of orders to return
to the United States. Lieutenant Kie
Cody of this city just returned is au-
thority for this statement.
In an interview with this cores
pondent, he said: you can't say or
think anything too good for the A.
E. F. in Germany. Men and officers
dread the day they will return to the
United States. There never was an
army which sat on the world as ours
is doing in Germany.
General Allen has cultivated a
spirit of craftsmanship in the army
There is football, baseball, polo shoot
ing and track teams, all trying to
rbreak records. They have gone in for
horse racing and have built their own
track and steeple chase course. As
result, there has been a general hunt
for good horses and they have bred
and trained some Of the finest animals
ever connected with the army.
Although the men are able to buy
all the wine and beer they want. there
is hardly an example of man taking
too much. Drinking wine and beer
has made them temperate. Whisky
and cocktails do not go. Champagne
is less than 81 the bottle, but the men
prefer the other wines.
Moving Day Will Be Sad
There is one cafe in Coblenz pat
Jronized exclusively by Americans. 1t
won't sell beer, and the Germans bar
themselves. 1t sells wine to Ameri-
cans.
When an officer travels he is the
object of solicitous attention. They
bring you pillows and ever, thing else
to make you comfortable. A conduc-
tor never asks for your ticket. Once
4 was smoking in car which was not
a smoking car. The conductor re-
tired and returned with a card which
he slapped upon the wall. 1t said,
Smoking Car"
Lieutenant Cody repeats that it will
be sad day for the army when it is
ordered home
