Sailor Friedman
 Beats Ernie Rice

New York. October 2s.-Sailor Friedman of Chicago tonight de- feated Ernie Rice. English light weight champion, in the seventh round of a scheduled I5-round bout in Madison Square Garden when Rice's seconds tossed a towel into the ring.
 Rice, when his packers admitted de- feat, was bleeding profusely from a cut over hts left eye suffered in the second round. He was hardly able to see his opponent. but apparently was strong and trying to turn the tide of battle when 1t ended
 Friedman opened an offensive on the Englishman at the first bell and pounded him at will thereafter Rice took his punishment with a smile and attempted to retaliate but his blows, with the exception of a few light right hooks, fell short
 Rice's plucky efforts were cheered by the crowd but many were shouting for the referee to stop the contest when the blood continued to flow from the Englishman's eye.
 As result of Friedpan's victory his manager said an immediate ef- fort would be made to sign the Chi- cago boxer and Champion Bennie Leonard for a championship bout
 Joe German of Portland, Ore, boxed eight rounds to a draw with Sammy Sieger of New York. They are featherweights.

THE COLOR OF CRIME
,m .nn c.hIcauo News

From tho Chicago NeWs.
 Go into the gray room" says Ross Crane, head of tho Art institute ex- tension department. in his lecture on interior decorating, go into a gray room for 1b minutes and you will feel uncomfortable"
 Most persons will agree with Mir. Cranes diotum. Excepting. perhaps. a session on the green carpet, . ses- sion in a gray room can provide the most depressing quarter of an hour. Literature confirms lifo in this re- spect. In all first-clsss thrillers the murder is committed 'in tho gray room" The ghost walks thers. Tho master bandit operates in A phan- tom gray car. Minor poets sigh un- der leaden skies and maunder in gossamer and gray--in fact. most of the crimes of life and literature are set in this gruesons color.
 The colors of normalcy. according to Mfr. Crane, are light pink and baby blue. A warm rcd or a reason able yellow may serve for a north or east exposure. But light pink for bedrooms and baby blue for dining rooms mean perfect sanity and safety.
 Literature again seems to offer confirmation. Probably not a single murder in fiction has been committed in a Npale pink sleeping apartment or a baby bluo dining room. and the minor poets seem to fight as shy of these colors as do tho murderers
 Gray Is the color of major crimes and minor poetry. The prudent housewife will pick hor papers and hapgings accordingly.

SEEKS
 ID SCRAP I. A. t.
By As.ocInted Press

Chattanooga, October 2s.--Petition was filed In the United States district court here today asking for decree ordering that the Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia railroad be scrapped and sold as scrap. The Sage estate is the holder of the first bonds of the railroad.
 The petitioners In the case are Joseph J. s1ocum, Herbert J. Slo- cum, stephen l.. 1T. Slocum, Robert w. DeForest and Henry W. DeForest, executors of the estate of Margaret Olivia Sage, deceased. The original suit seeking sale of the property and adjudication of the company's affairs was brought soon after the death of Mrs. Sage by Colonel Clocum and the other executors.
 The petition of the executors points out that the road under the present receivership has been operating at a loss month after month and that on petition of Prince & Co.,, Boston bankers, the court on July 2, 1921, set August 6, 1921. as the date of sale. When the sale date arrived Prince & Co. asked and secured additional time to investigate, and September 15 was set as the tlme for the sale. On that uate secono poepponernout was granted. October i6 being fixed as the date of sale. At neither time when the road was offered has there been a bidder for the property At the last sale date no word was re- oeived from Prince & Co.,. and tho next date for offering the road is now fixed as November IS.
 The petitioners declare they have made diligent effort to interest some one as purchaser of the road and have failed to do so, and there seems to be no chance to dispose of it in It's present state. The petitioners therefore, pray that in their own in- terests. the road be shut down and that the court order the receiver to scrap 1t and sell 1t as scrap.
 Tuesday. November 15, Is the date set for hearing the petition.

For instance. at the 465-yard "dogleg" thirteenth hole, he delieer- ately hooked his tee shot around trees, getting a distance of at least 275 yards, which paved the way for birdie three, while Miss Leitch drove into the trees and required sevsn strokes to sink. ner worst pole of the match. His ability 10 hook at will enabled Barnes to get birdie three at the S1O-yard "dog-leg" sec ond. His tee shot here curved around trees and went into trap, 10 yards short of the green.
 An Eagle Three
 At the 525-yard fourteenth hole. Barnes got an eagle three by a mighty drive that was said by an official who measured 1t by pacing to be 310 yards long. Barnes here put his second shot six feet from the pin. An accurate index of his driv- ing power was the home hole, 274 yards. where his tee shot made tho green. 20 feet from the cup and be- yond it. His first putt skinned past the hole by a hair. Miss Leitch hero was so yards short of the green with her effort from the tee. but had an excellent second iron shot. Indeed, her approaches were one of the brightest spots of her days work. They offset in a measure her shorter whacks from the tee against Barnes.
 Barnes was the better butter. talk Ing 29 strokes on greens to Miss Leitchs 35. He had one remarkable chip shot from a trap. At the s56- yard eleventh hole. driven by about 75 yards, Miss Leitch made the green in two, % feet from tho cup, while b iu f,.ta clipped from the sand dead to the pin. Miss Leltch stymled, conceded a four and then proceeded to lose the hole by taking three butts.

"NIGHTIE NIGHI7' HAS LAST PERFORMANCES TODAY

For lovers of fun and clean. whole some laughter, "Nightie Night" the current attraction at the Jefferson theatre is certain to be the greatest scream of merriment they have en- joyed in a long time. "Nightie Night" suggestive as the title may be. isn't bedroom farce. Of course, there is yard or two of pink Iin- gerie in it, pretty too, on a pretty girl, but the fun takes place in a parlor car, for prologue, and in an apartment living room, and the kitchen. Two young married couples are involved in a series of most amusing p-edicaments, which seem for a time to be exteremely compro- missing. Laugh follows laugh in such rapid succession as to make the eve ning's entertainment one continuous uproar. Matinee and evening per formances will be given today, which will terminate the engagement.

By HORACE RENEGAR.


 The Partners finished their train ing Friday afternoon and are ready for tho Mississippi college Choctaws this afternoon at Redwood park. A great throng is expected to be on hand when play starts at 2:So sharp. Secret practice was held by the Panthers of the mountain 3ungles in their final workout. What Coaches Charlie Brown and Jenks Gillem slipped into their cohorts ears is deeply blanketed in mystery and will only be revealed this afternoon when they take the field for the game.
 Norton Out
 Coach Browns hjlltoppers will en- ter the game in good shape, with the exception of, the absence of Capt. Mike Norton, quarterback de luxe. Captain Mike was expected to get back into the lineup until day or two ago, when he was forced to return to bed. Aubrey Miller will call signals in Mikes place.
 Several changes. in the Cats line up will more than likely appear. At the pivot position Jack stuart will probably be in charge at the open ing, and Howard Yielding has been shifted to fill in Floss" Gandy's place at tackle.
 "Hoss" will start at fullback, and Jim Rogers will tote the ball from halfbnck's position.
 Panthers Determined
 If theN Panthers ever entered a Football game determined to fight the game, today is the day they are playing that game.
 Every member of the Panther ma chine realizes that they arc up against tough assignment, and every man will fight his hardest to handle that task. Goat" Hale is the big target the boys are after, but < they also.know that they have more than Goat" to stop in order to win.

Hundreds Pick
Wives by Mail
Order Catalogue

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-Hundreds Of
men pick their wives from mail
order catalogues, according to R. w,
Stanley. social Investigator. Per-
sons who desire to trip TO the altar
without going through the prelimi-
naries Of courtship just refer their
case to a love broker in a business
like manner.
Many men and women do not &c
into details as to the kind OF a
Ilfe's companion they desire. In
these cases catalogues are mailed
to the clients giving pictures and
descriptions OF those who are on the
marriage mart.
Twenty-Five dollars from each per
son is the minimum fee, however.
Stanley said laws aimed at love
brokers have had little effect In
stopping the business OF substitute
ing maiI-order catalogues for cupid'i
darts.
Most brokers, he said, now carry
their offices under their hats.
