 ID SLEEP IN NINTH
Last Nights Battle Gives Him Fea4srWeieht Title in New York

New York, Aug. 1s.-Johnny Dun- dee did ewo things last night in his bout with Danny Trush, of Cleveland, that he seldom does.
 He landed a knockout and he an nexed title, the former much more realistic than the alloy crown bestow. ed upon him by the New York state boxing commission "featherweight champion of the world--in New York state.' Before the evening ended some conserver of energy started . movement to shorten the designation to "featherweight champion of New York"
 That's what is amounts to anyway since Johnny KilbaAe backing behind a shield of green backs in Cleveland, wears the genuine crown that outside of New York is acknowledged to be the original.
 Dundee Unfortunate

Dundee has been unfortunate. He has not re- ceived a sure enough, gold plated title nor has he sent many men to dream land.

 He put Frush to bed in a cool methodical manner Both began care fully, but after the first round Danny was indiscreet. He relied on a stiff laf fo S,l tance and also to win Dundee paved around for a few rounds, hitting a stinger now and then, and doing more damage than was then apparent.
 Not Very Active
 The action wasn't gruelling enough for the 1s,0oo fans, but Frush was more disturbed by their feet-stamping than his veteran opponent. Dundee lowered his guard in the seventh and Frush stepped Unexpectedly stepped into Johnny's long left and after Dan ny had his chin tilted several times, Johnny placed a right hook to the wind.

CURIOUS survival Of medieval GUS
~ tom is witnessed in London on
Lord Mayors day. This is an
official visit of the Lord Mayor to the law
courts. In olden times the Lord Mayor
arrived in chariot of state with sword
bearer, mace holder, chaplain and gor-
geously liveried coachmen and footmen.
The. forms have been changed, and the
visit is now paid to the high court; but
the spirit remains, for the Lord Mayor
opens his term In the Mansion House
with ceremonial involving recognition
of the supreme authority of the crown.
The instrument used for expressing
this traditional idea is an old fashioned
cooked hat. when the Lord Mayor in his
splendid robes enters the high court
with his retinue he solemnly lifts his
cooked hat three times from his head and
salutes the Lord Chief Justice and the
Justices.
The Judges always wear robes and
wigs when in court. For Lord Mayors
day they have also a fiat black cap, which
