Some of our ancient brethren
come into our shop, and comment on
the place that our men and women oc-
cupy in the world today and they
even doth talk on our city politics;
and one wise brother, who had
neither studied Greek or Latin sat
on a nail key whiting with his
jack-knife and commented thus: The
hand that doth darn the stockings
and wipe the tears from little chill
drens faces, doth not extract the
tobacco can from the hip pocket and
make a cigarette therefrom. And
we were silent for space, and
thought thereon. And our ancient
brother John Love approved of the
saying, and said: "Thou art a wise
prophet. Thou art worthy of a
better seat.

called on the high school guard ex-
plain why, and after Bob went out
Haglund scored twice. We would not
attempt to say that nobody could keep
Haglund out of the scoring column
without fouling, but it is an undenia-
BILE fact that to date, nobody ever has.
Welton, who was put in as last
resort, played whale of "a game, es-
pecially in view Of the fact that he
had played one full game earlier IN
the evening, and made one pretty
basket from near the middle OF the
floor, which provided just two-thirds
of the margin of victory.
The one feature which marred the
game was the attitude of the crowd,
a majority of whom showed no sports
manship whatever. They seemed to
favor any method at all of winning
the game, and at one time things got
so raw that the referee stopped the
game and issued a warning. 1t GER
tainly speaks we'll for the fighting
qualities of the Scouts, that in spite
of having the crowd bitterly against
them. and in their own home town at
that, they nevertheless tied in and
played the game like men and were
only defeated by three points, after
the hardest kind of battle. The high
school players acted the part OF tried
and true sportsmen.

The preliminary game between the
second teams was also interesting to
watch, though much more one-sided,
the Scout seconds winning by the
score Of 21-12. The feature of the
game was the splendid defense put up
by the Scout guards, both Ross and
Carlson showing all kinds of grit and
headwork. 1t was only after Welton
started dropping them in from the
middle of the floor that the high
school score began to pick up.
Welton evidently got tired OF wait
Ding for the forwards to get any
thing done and decided to take
things into his own hands. The result
was four long shots in the second
half, all of which dropped clearly
through the hoop without sigh, and
which made as pretty an exhibition
of shooting as one could wish.

SlKPS HONORS WENT TO HIS
 FISTS, NOT HIS HEAD; LIFE
 0NEFICHT AFTER ANOTHER

As Balzac is a stable companion Ski and Heller had to be on hand early; Heller as manager, and Ski was to act as second for the French middleweight champion. The crowd gave the Senegalese the glad hand when he got in the ring, and every thing was going fine until Prunier uncorked right hook that sent Balzac to the canvas.
 He stayed on the shelf until the clock licked ten, and Prunier was champion. Cuny, manager of the new champ came over to shake hands, when Battling Siki wanting to prove what fine gentleman he was, let him have one in the neck and told him where to go.
 Crowd Gets Made
 The crowd went completely off the handle. A squad of cops slipped Siki out through the dressing rooms into taxi, with the fans yelling: Enough of siki!" "Piker!" Throw him out of France!" They got him away in nothing flat, but not before several cobbles had found their mark.
 All next day fight fans were in the air. Something had to be done and done quick. Sih met Cuny in the office of the sport paper, pAuto, and apologized, but that wasn't enough. The French had had Georges Carpenter as their cham pion for several years, and he had shown them that champ should be a Doug Fairbanks in public.
 The Boxing Federation called a special session for midnight at the Hoche Club, and, after long debate curtains for Siki!
 After the, decision I met the dis qualified champion, and he told me:
 You're American writer. Rum yon, is right oughta be kept in a cage!"
 Ski, here's a little tip:
 Don't back away in tears. Just think of that old timer Rip
 He got the gate for twenty years!

PARIS. Dec. 15.-The tougher they are the harder they fall. Poor old Siki was so hard-boiled he put over knockout on himself. It wasn't that being champion went to his head-nothing could go to that head 1t went to his fists.
 Skis map is a steal on West Vir- ginia with the Rlnas Ridge spread all over it, but to be sure you'd recog- nize him as Battling Siki, light-heavy- weight champion of the world, he'd start off the evenings entertainment by cracking a few skulls. Life was a continual "I'll knock lem down you drag 'em out"
 At the Cafe Trianon about an hour before the Balzac-Prunier match I read to Ski what Damon Runyon wrote in the New York American about the rough house he pulled at the New York" Bar. Ski was washing down with a land soda" but he choked when ! men tioned Dempsey's picture. Twas all wrong. He wasn't any society man, but under pressure he confessed to being the best-behaved boxer in captivity. Gentleman Jim was a rough-neck when compared to him.
 flowing Son"
 He offered as character witnesses his manager, Heller, and his father. The old man, who is an abbrevia- tion of the champion, said he was blessed with loving, obedient son. His boy, Loui, was a chip off the old block, and that's saying a mouthful
 But Heller, he got mad! Oh, what he'd do to Mir Runyon after he got through with Dempsey! Why, his colt, Battling Ski, had just one bad fault-he was too soft hearted. He had tears in his eyes every time he passed picture of Carpen- tier and lifted his lid in respect. If his opponent didn't get nasty he just didn't have the heart to put over the fatal K. o. It was sad. Ski worked up a His Masters Voice" expression and kept the waiter at the pump.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-An insane asy- lum, the inmates of which are all con victed cannibals, is one of the after famine sights seen by J. Bentley Null forod, of Washington, D.. C., on re- cent trip to Samara
 Muiforod, who was an official Of the cal Department in Moscow, has sailed for home after five months service in Russia.
 "The results of the famine are still apparent everywhere" he said, "in the crowded orphan homes where we are now feeding, in the hospitals full of patients suffering from intestinal and other troubles as a result of eat ing grass and clay, in the refugees and in such sights as that of insane asylum" ..~...
 It reminded him, Mulford said, of nothing so much as the Zoo. The pa- tients who are not violent now are
  allowed to roam at will in an enclosed yard near the house, and in their fa- .cial expression, aimless action and dis hevelled appearance they are exactly like animals Their number was about 12, and they are all suffering from a disease diagnosed by Dr. Foucar, the A. R. A medical supervisor as Samara as cachexia. @ @

COPPER MINES REOPEN BEGINNING WITH APRIL

CHICAGO, March 2. Dead for twelve months, the copper industry has arisen, shaken off it's shroud, and on April 1 will give promise of being on it's way back to nOrmalcy.
 War delivered the temporary death blow. The armistic found the mines with great quantities of copper on hand. Demand ceased. The market collapsed Through a year of de- nression the copper industry was hardest hit.
 The resurrection is at hand. Re- vival, to start about April 1, is an- nounced by the Calumet and Helca, the Utah Copper company and the Anaconda. At that time more than a million acres of land will renew their yield of red metal.
 Several mines already are operat- ing Others have started preliminary work to have everything ready for the miners.
 EXPECT HALF OF NORMAL
 With all mines operating at ca pacity, about 5O,O0o men are en- ployed in the country's copper mines Montana and Michigan, with 10000 each, provide the great ma iority of the work, with Arizona and Utah making up the rest. At the time of the shutdwn, a year ago. no mines were operating at near capac- ity. In 1916 Michigan copper mines employed 10000 men. This dwindled until in 1920 the number was 7,500. In 1921 the number shrank to 3,700. A similar decline prevailed in other copper fields.
 About half of normal production is expected this spring, reports from the four chief copper mining areas indicate.

DEMPSEY SEES HARD FIGHT
 IN DISTANCE,

LOS ANGELES, March ?. - Jack Dempsey, who is resting in Southern California, dislikes the idea of re- maning idle from the ring, but he gets some satisfaction from the fact that the toughest fight of his life is still to come.
 "You know" said the champion, "l have had some, tough bouts, and right now there isn't a thing doing, but some day I have battle on my hands that will make up for all the loafing I've had to do. Of course, that is nroyiding I don't retire before losing the title
 ''Did you ever stop to figure that the fight in which a champion loses his title is about the toughest he can have? Some young fellow comes along and the champion goes into the ring with some of his old stamina and skill lacking The young fellow slaps him on the chin and down he goes.
 "cHAMPloN CAN'T QUIT"
 "A champion cant quit, so he gets up and takes another one. Naturally the crowd likes to see new cham pion made and the cheers are all for the young gent with the wallop.
 "Then after it's all over the fans will say: The old stiff started once too many times
 "A month ago it looked as if l might get a chance to fight before long, but things are in beautiful mixup now. Tom Gibbons seems to be the only heavyweight who hasn't got himself knocked over or put out l of the running in some way. What if box Gibbons and win, as I expect to do?

mistic over the early revival of the industry. P. G. Salisbury, president of. the Arizona Industrial Congress and an authority on mining, de- clares resumption of copper min- ing on a scale approaching normal is mot likely in the fact of existing conditions" Reduction of freight rates, he said, would mean a great stride in the direction of bringing copper mining back.
 A great portion, however, agree with C. F. Willis, editor of the Ari- zona Mining General, who points out that a renewal of production "is in- evitable" because only 176,000,00O pounds of refined copper are avail able for domestic use.
 NO ACTION ON WAGES
 No general decision as to wages to be paid in the mining fields has been announced. A reduction scale was' in effect at the time of the shut down and, according to officials of the Calumet and Hecla company, no action upon revision of this scale has been taken.
 At Anaconda and Great Falls the scale, according to MT. Gillie, is $4.24 for miners, $5 for mechanics and s3,75 for common labor for an eight hour day. There is at present, ac- cording to MT Gillie: large influx of labor in Butte, much of it, how ever, wholly without mining experi- ence.
 This situation is reversed in the Copper Country" of Michigan, from which many miners have departed. While no labor shortage is feared the various companies will be obliged to rebuild their organizations which will require six months, mining men say.
