CLEVELAND, May 21,-Johnny Xiii bane, featherweight champion of the world. advocates the, idea that boxing bouts should be scored round by round.
 Let the ringsiders and the boxers know who is winning as the fight goes along" says Kilbane.
 They'll enjoy boxing lot more if they know how the fight is going The benefits would be mutual to both fans and fighters.
 If the referee announced at the end of each round which fighter won it fans could mark it down on their score cards. When the fight was over they could add up the rounds each man won and they'd have the decl- sion.
 Scoring fights round by round would help eliminate poor or crooked refereeing. too.

 Firm, Strong Player
 ''The president is a firm, strong player" Evans said in discussing his game. Hes fighting all the way it makes no difference whether he's playing his first or his 18th stroke. And he sometimes plays as many as that, too.
 He hits the ball hard all the way through. He would like to get twice as much distance out of every club as anybody else does.
 ''But he's real golfer He's got the enthusiasm of the game in him He isn't simply playing for exercise; he may like the exercise, but he loves the game.

KILBANE URGES BOXING BOUTS
 BE SCORED AS ROUND BY ROUND


 "A lot of fighters go along easy, being outpointed during the early rounds of fight and then speed up the last few rounds to make an i'm pressive grandstand finish.
 "A referee. who doesn't know his business, will give the whirlwind fin isher the decision in many cases when he doesn't win the majority of the rounds.
 | ''If the fighters knew at the end of each round which had won it they'd fight more and stall less.
 Fans should leave boxing arena satisfied as to who won. There isn't any doubt in the minds of baseball fans as to who won when they leave the park. And that's what makes baseball one of the squarest games.
 Boxing will thrive on honesty and score cards just the same as base ball.v

GAS BALLOONS ! UNDER WAY IN
 1921 PRIMARY

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. Mas 21-The 1921 national elimination balloon race got under way, shortly after z o'clock tonight with the departure of the balloon Atascadera, California, piloted by Capt. John Berry, of St. Louis. The big bag sailed westward at about 20 miles an hour and the eight other contenstants followed at five minute intervals.
 Low gas pressure delayed the start of the race which will determine the three American representatives in the international contest to be held at Brussels next September for the Cor. don Bennett cup.
 Weather observations were said by weather bureau officials to indicate that the balloons would continue westward until the Mississippi river was crossed and then they would change to d northwest course and ii nally the air currents would turn the course to the north and northeast bringing the balloons Co the Great Lakes region.

WASHINGTON, May 10. = Warren G. Harding, as president of the United States, may be expected to put in some strenuous strokes for his coun- try if he plays the game of statesman ship in the same form he plays golf. He will make some mistakes but score some good shots.
 This is the opinion of Chick Evans national amateur golf champion, af- ter a session on the links with the chief executive.
 Measuring Harding the president by Harding the golfer, in the terms that impressed most deeply, the country may expect vigorous but not always effective action
 There will be no timidity, however, in his approach of difficult situations.
 He will tackle his problems as he hits the ball = with all the vigor and

 When he fails - well, yes, he can cuss. He has good golfers vocab- ulary,
 Hes inclined to take things as they come, though. He doesn't get up in the air. He keeps his temper and his sense of humor, and is al- ways ready to recognize and compli- ment a good play by his opponent"

 How does the presidents game stack up as compared to that of the average tired business man golfer?" Evans was asked.
 Better than the average in form,' he answered, but not in results"
 Two hours on the Chevy Chase golf links. Evans says, gave him better knowledge and understanding of Harding than he could have gotten in two years of merely friendly acquain- tanceship.
 "I'll admit I was a little bit ner- vous when I went up to the White House, Evans said. But the presi- dent has the knack of putting one instantly at ease. It wasn't the presi- dent who came out to play golf; it was Warren Harding, man who loves men, who likes friendly com panionship and revels in the game.

 IF AIR HELD
 BY A TORNADO

ABERDEEN. S. D., May 21.- Fly ing into a tornado. which whipped their plane about like leaf, was the experience of A. W. Nelson, of this city, and Art Wintheisler, of Mime apolis, while making their first off cial trip as Yellowstone air route pathfinders near Webster. s. D., Thursday, according to the stories of the aviators today.
 Although neither of the fliers was hurt, their plane was wrecked. Nell son, telling the story of their expert ence today, said:
 Tt was getting dark and the rain was coming down hard. I have nev- CT seen such rain before. It had the force of hail and rattled against the sides of the plane like marbles. We did not dare to try to shoot up above it. As we neared Webster, the wind began to twist and we found our selves turning about in the air like a leaf I thought our ship was out of control and we surely would crash
 After we had gone through all kinds of involuntary stunts imagina- ble we suddenly found ourselves Tn still air and managed to effect land ing. We anchored each wing tip, tail and front with automobile axles kept the nose pointed into the wind and kept the engine running full speed, but the wind became too strong, the plane was carried away some distance and wrecked"
 The tornado did approximately $50 900 damage to farm houses 'in an area 30 miles about Webster

YOUNG TAXI DRIVER
BRUTALLY KILLED

AUGUSTA, Ga, Aug. 10.-What
Sheriff J. T. Plunkett, of Augusta,
describes as the most atrocious crime
he has ever dealt with was commit
ted on the Augusta-Columbia high
way during the night, Sunday, and
was made known in detail at an early
hour this morning when local coun-
ty officers made public an alleged
confession of F. J. Kirby, a one-arm-
ed white man of Columbia, who
claims William (Bub) Brazel was
murdered by his (Kilby's) compan-
ions, C. o. Fox and Jesse Gappins.
Fox, Gappins and Kirby were ar
rested Monday afternoon. on the
highway between Augusta and
Waynesboro, their automobile having
broken down. Kirby, left to guard
the car, was engaged in conversation
by a convict guard who was passing
ence of his companions, he is said to
have unbosomed himself to the
guard.
The guard telephoned the Rich
mond and Burke county officers, who
rushed to the scene in automobiles
and apprehended Fox and Gappins at
Greens Cut, a station but a short
distance from where the automobile
broke down. Fox and Gappins both
held in the county Jail here.
After constant grilling, it is stated
that Fox and GappinS corroborated
the story of Kirby.
According to Kirby, he and his
companions engaged Brazel's auto
i1~I, T01 hi TO
come to Augusta. They stopped at
Leesville, a short distance from Co
lumbia, to secure gasoline. For
some reason, unexplained, they turn
ed back toward Columbia from there,
and after travelling about five miles,
Brazel, stopped the car and hit
Brazel over the head with black
jack. Gappins then, according to
Kirby, held Brazel while Fox hit him
again.
Fox secured knife and stabbed
Brazel in the breast. He twisted the
knife about in the boys body, &C
youngster begged for mercy, ex-
claiming, 81 won't tell"
Kirby states that Gappins then
threw the body to the ground and
Fox stabbed the boy four or five
times more, while Gappin's cried.
L
Kirby claims Brazel's body was
then hidden in a nearby patch of
bushes and the men got back into
the car and drove on to Augusta.
Passing through here en- route to Sa-
vannah they had reached Mclean,
eighteen miles away, when the car
broke.
Brazel was nineteen years old and
a college student at Columbia. He
was the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. M. 3.
Brazel, of Columbia. His father is
employed by the Southern railway
here. The boy drove a taxi when
not in school, being employed by the
Quick Taxi company of Columbia.
Sheriff Plunkett, of Richmond
county, and Sheriff Heise, Of Column
bia, went to Leesville today to
search for young Brazels BODY,
which was found at Crosson Hill,
three miles from Leesville. It was
taken to Columbia.
