Mitchell or Tender.
If Richie Mitchell is able to polish
off Rocky Kansas in good style on
March 9 the Milwaukee fighter prob
ably will get the chance to meet the
titleholder. Richie says he feels sure
of earning the right TO get into the
ring with Benny. Kansas won't go
the limit with him. he adds. But
if the Buffalo Italian does happen
to repeat his knockout stunt. or If
Richie doesn't show as well as his
friends hope, then there would be
no sense in putting him in front of
Benny'S wallops. What is the an
swer in such a case? Why, Lew Ten
dler.
Lew is still out west and, having
studied Benny Leonard in his fight
against Mitchell, he thinks he can
cop the title. He offers a sprained
right thumb as reason for his failure
to put Sailor Freedman away the
other night. Anyway. ii he gets IA
good enough offer ii looks as though
he would he willing to take a chance
at Leonard.
AS the situation stands. Tender
looks to be about the only boy who
is qualified to go against Leonard
with some chance of winning. Willie
Jackson's manager made a bluff about
challenging Leonard if his boy got
away with Johnny Dundee. Well,
Jackson put it over the Italian. Since
then nothing has been heard about
a JackSon-Leonard fight.

LONG RECORD OF BLOODSHED
Emperors Of Japan Have Met Deaths
Of Violence From the Begin
ming Of History.

There is probably no nation in the
world that has ever treated its en-
perors so cavalierly as Japan has done
to within the memory of living man,
Raymond Nj. Weaver writes in Asia.
Emperors have been deposed by doz-
ems, emperors have been killed in gen.
erous numbers. One, Yomei, was
stabbed without ado; one, Sujin. was
assassinated by an emissary Of the
prime minister; the young Anotku was
thrown into the sea to die like rat,
and it is piquant rumor. whispered in
intimate circles, that Komei father Of
the late Emperor Mutsuhito, died not

two rival houses defied each other for
q period of So years. and the present
emperor is descended from the branch
branded by later historians as illegiti-
mate. 10 Moranao, worthy of the
fourteenth century, Is credited with
having told his followers to take the
estates Of the emperor If they wanted
estates. A living emperor is mere
waster Of the worlds substance and
burden upon the people. He Is not nec-
essary, but, IL we must have him,
wooden effigy would answer the pur-
pose" For centuries the government
was in the hands of the mayors Of
the palace, who set up one infant SOW
ereign after the other, deposing each
as he came to mans estate. From 1903
to 1904 there we're actually no less
than five ex-emperors living at one
time.

known to have a checkered career dur

all the silly little pretense Of meeting
somebody for lunch.
"Now let me see; where will meet
my phantom companion? Oh, I know !;
in the lobby of the Albermarle, where
Herbert and l have met occasionally"
And she walked on carelessly, happily
to the hotel.
For awhile she watched with en-
vious eyes how one woman after the
other smilingly welcomed her escort,
husband or friend and disappeared to-
gether in the nearby dining room.
Then she was attracted by a young
man entering the lobby. He had
pleasing appearance and was immacu-
lately dressed; he interested Avora.
His glance went around the lobby
searchingly, then stopped and looked
at her keenly, so that the blood shot
into her round cheeks. He advanced,
smiling confidently and Avora, con-
fused, not sure just what to do, found
herself smiling back. 1t flashed
through her mind that here was an
opportunity for half hours inno-
cent amusement-a break I'm the run
Of monotonous days.
When he came near murmuring,

nodded cheerfully and made room on

He was a most entertaining talker.
Avora listened fascinated by his ac-
counts of his travels in South Amer

plies.
He told her about Buenos Aires, he
spoke Of the wealth of the city, the
wonderful public works and buildings.
He spoke so convinclngly that Avora.
who had been always bored with any

found herself keenly interested.
"This is not hearsay," he went on.
"T have been there lately. 1t is

man earnestly. though unexpectedly.

A Birthday
Adventure
By LILY WANDEL

"a. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate }
Avora had put the tiny apartment
In order, bathed and dressed herself
and then wondered how on earth she
could kill the long day ahead.
She had been married a little more
than a year, and outside a few friends
OF her husband, who did not interest
her. she did not know any one in the
city. Each day passed as the one be-
fore-a little housework, a lot of
dressing and a round of shopping or
reading. She was frankly tired Of the
department stores, and her eyes stung
from too much reading. She was
more than bored; she was suffering,
longing for companionshlp some one
ccngenial and interesting. Today at
least must be different, for it was her
birthday. The frown disappeared,
and smile curved her pretty lips as
bright idea came to her. Skipping
to the phone she called her husbands
office number.
'This Is Avora. Herbert. I'm aw-
fully lonesome, honey; how about our
having lunch together at some nice
place" Her Voice vibrated with
eagerness.
Sorry" came hack the answer.
but I have an appointment with
business friend at the club, dear"
She hung up the receiver slowly,
her chin quivering not so much from
disappointment as from the monot-
onous view ahead. Then quite sud-
denly she tossed her head pertly.
"Why not pretend" she laughed
