TRIO OF SHADES FROM THE PACIFIC
 COAST ARE GAINING FAME IN RING

Billy fingered around the llsht- weight division long enough to whale all the best Australians into submis- sion He duplicated the "cean-up process as a welter and middleweiSht and topped off his brilliant perform ance by knocking our or whipping decisively every heavyweight in Aus tnalia.
 And then Billy went back to the old home town to rest up bit from his eXertions.
 Meanwhile George was establishing himself as one of the greatest loo pounders along the Pacific slope ana Dave was doing spectacular things as 142 pounder.
 Almost "Got" Jack
 Not so long ago Jack Britton, boss of the welters, travelled westward ho." iookirr for Noft ones. some one tocularly remarked that Dave Shade is easy" So ---tton took him on in Portland. Ore.
 The soft Dave Shade knocked down Britton three times during the I0-round melee. Only his frantic eagerness to finish Britton which made him swing wildly. saved the great champion from being dropped for the full count after he arose from the third knockdown
 With the advent of September Father Charlie" tucked his three sons under his arm and took the traii that led to New York-the fight mecca of America.
 I've heard a lot about the big purses in New York and the eagner- ness of the folks there to see good fighters in action" declared Father Charlie" 50 I've brought the boys along for the purpose of fighting anybody in their class, The tougher they are the better we'll lSke it. l think my boys are the best in their divisions. They are east for the pur- pose of proving 1t. And they'll stay in the east until they've demon trated their greatness-or been shown up as Pacific coast false alarms.

 Tn view of the fact that a game MS played between Memphis anc Nashville clubs Friday, September g. and that the ball players of the Mem phis club received part of the gate receipts which does not appear on their contracts as part of their sal ary. in view of these facts the Mobile club claims McLarry Iahniser Cams and Williams to report In 1922. Wt would ask for a delivery at once oi the title of these players. Also ask for a wire vote of directors to your decision. The Mobile club votes against your decision"
 Mr. Martin, in his ruling held that the affair was not an exhibition game within the meaning of league rules or in pouplar parlance, but that 1t was merely a burlesque performance ir which players of the two clubs were mixed on opposing sides with umpires changing places with players and out siders participating.

NEW YORK, April 21.-The bond

Despite the persistent reports that
the Mexican government is getting
ready to resume interest payments on
it's external debt. the Mexican 5s
were weaker. They sold down to
46A. at which figure they were off
3 points from the recent high. French

Railway bonds were steady at A..
City of Paris 6s were the same at

relatively steady Liverpool cables
