BOXING COMMISSION
 WITHHOLDS WILSON'S PURSE

Jersey City, \. J., Sept. 22-A preced- ent in championship boxing annals was set today by the New Jersey Boxing Commission when it deprived Johnny Wilson, middleweight title holder, of the ,000 purse he was to have received for his Labor Day bout with Bryan Downey Of Cleveland. Wilson was found guilty by the commission of failing to put forth his best efforts in the Downey bout Withholding of the purse was deemed as the proper punishment.
 The commission announced ir making it's decision that itswas not certain as to the legality of such action and would take steps to learn the extent of it's authority. Meanwhile Ibx Rickard, pro- moter. was directed to place the money in trust.
 Counsel for Wilson indicated that the case would be taken to the courts for 1 settlements.
 l Wilson met Downey in 12 round af- fair here Lobor Day to settle the dis pute over their bout in Cleveland, in which Downey claimed he had won by a knock out but the referee had counted too slowly.
 The bout here was tame and uninter- | eSting and Downey, who had tried aw- kwardly to floor Wilson in every round. was given the decision of a majority of newspaper men. No official decision wos permitted under the New Jersey laws. A member of the boxing commission who witnessed the bout ordered the pro- moter to withheld Wilson's share of the purse pending q hearing. He claimed l Wilson had led only eleven times dur ing the r rounds and that he had been advised by his chieI sd5ond to take it easy.
 At the first hearing before the com mission Wilson declored that he had fought the best he knew how. Rickard. the promoter said that Wilson had per formed much better in previous bouts and that his showing against Downey was disgraceful and an imposition on the spectators. He recommended that Wilson be ruled ineligible for all time. ] Referee Jim Savage testified that he would have thrown both men out of the
 ring and called it !, 10 contest if there
 had been a precedent in championship bouts.

Twain's Imaaination.

Mark Twain had such a vivid inn
 agination, such a brain for embroidery.
 that it was a difficult task for him to tell d straight story just a il happened he could make up one that was so
 much better. We all know that Albert
 Bigelow Paine, working on the Mark Twain Life" found it necessary 10 dis card much of the autobiogra phic ma terial that Mark Twains had written. Investigation, talks with men still liv- ing who knew the facts simply proved that the tales were not so.- And Mark ! Twain was no liar. He had a glorious
 an almost superhuman imagination As he approached threescore and ten he said. as quoted in the Life" When l was younger could remember any | ching, whether it happened or not; 1 but l am getting old, and soon I shal
 remember only the latter. Exchange
