The effect of the work of the mis-
sion is already being seen in the
islands. The courts are speeding
up. the women are organizing and
agitating for equal suffrage, and the
people are coming forward with
and stories of hidden
graft and corruption. Not the least
important sign in the change is the
tendency to a reaction against the
party for its abuses.

perts the best eleven in the East this

Lions yesterday. A telegram address

athletics, asked IL the William and
Mary team could play Penn State at
Harrisburg on September 30. Mr..
Driver is now negotiating with Neil
NJ. Fleming, graduate manager of
athletics at Penn State. The date
offered, September 80, is open on the
Indians schedule.
Penn State in its telegram held out
the hope Of arranging satisfactory
guarantee. The game, II arranged,
will be the first Northern gridiron
contest staged by William and Mary
in many years.
The offer made by Penn State is
recognition of the regeneration of
William and Mary along all lines. The

BENEFIT
FOR FAMILY Of
DEAD FIGHTER
Many colored Boxers Expected
To Take Part in Show for
Mcvey's Kin.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-Plans were
under way today for benefit for the
family of Sam McVey, veteran negro
pugilist, who died of pneumonia Thurs.
day night. McVey is said to have been
destitute at the time of his death.
Many colored fighters are expected to
give their services. Jack Johnson,
former world heavyweight champion,
will be asked to take part.
McVey. one of the most formidable
of negro heavyweights during his ring
career, was born in California in 1885.
Standing close to six feet in height
and weighing 200 pounds, he possessed
terrific punching power, more than
the average boxing skill and ability to
take heavy punishment without fall
tering.
His first appearance as a serious
heavyweight contender was in 1903,
when he fought two twenty-round con.
tests with Jack Johnson, later world
champion, losing both bouts on deci-
sions. In the years. that followed he
met all of the negro heavyweight con-
tenders and a number Of white heavy
weight novices.
His ring record Is remarkable for
the number of bouts with Sam Lang
fora. DuTlHS the utSduC bS6ihhAhS ih
1911 McVey fought more than dozen
contests, ranging from short no-deci-
sion bouts to twenty-round encounters.
These were staged in all parts OF the
world from Australia to South Amer
lea. Langford was the victor in a
majority of the battles. Recently
McVey had appeared in the role OF
trainer and sparring partner for negro
and white heayyweights training for
important contests Despite his thirty
six years, he retained his boxing skill
and hitting power and always was in
