The recent punk showing of Mr..
Bobby Barrett against Lew Tender
shows clearly once more how a fall
guy can be built up for a good boxer
with the proper publicity and man
agement.
Barrett, those on the inside must
have known. didn't have China

liant performer. The only thing that
could be said about Bobby was that
he had shown a. terrific wallop. And
his matches were made to build up
this rep.
The meteoric career of One-Round
Hogan years ago was about the same.
Ad Wolgast was champion at the
time. Hogan's clever handlers

Pacific Coast in four-round bouts.

beef in a single round. thereby earn

East to meet Wolgast. Murder! Help!
Police! His lights went out in the
second round. He heard birds warb-

Because his style is neither
f1ashy nor particularly en1iVen-
ing, Lew Tender Is not generally
regarded as a good bet against
Benny Leonard when this pair of
fistic orators meet July 90 Tend

mind, is merely a good average

Eddie Leopard makes errors
occasionally, but many Newfield
Park fans entertain the belief
that Leopard is the best fielding
pitcher in the Eastern League.
His speciality appears to be the
killing off of attempted safe
hunts. He fields fast and is an ac-
curate thrower to first base.
After all of that scrappfng with
Waterbury, the New York Yankee
club and Judge Lands, Luck
Howe failed to win a game for

to Newark. Howe is a good
pitcher, but the breaks of the

listers have instructed the naval COM
manders of their respective countries
TO prevent attacks by Chinese war

The Portuguese minister, as dean

ported to have notified the Chinese
minister of foreign affairs that the
diplomatic body insists upon fulfill
ment of the condition of the Tientsin
protocol of 1901, declaring the recent
fighting at Lukiuchso constituted a
violation of the treaty because that
place was so miles of Peking.
Any military interference with the
Peking- Mukden railway, it was also
declared, would be breach of the
same treaty. This action follows the

Paris today for Genoa after his con-
ferences Jover the situation with
Premier Poincare and the cabinet
here. Premier Poincare urged M.
Barthou to make an effort to reach
an agreement wit hthe allies on the
memorandum to Russia that would
satisfy the Belgians and not sacri-
flee the principle that the private
property of foreigners in Russia
must be respected.
The French government, it is said
by an official of the foreign office,
has entered into no agreement what
ever concerning recognition of the
soviet government. 1t is entirely
free, according to this official, to
deal. with the question according to
the French point of view, which is
that the soviet regime cannot yet be
regarded as a representative gov
ernment and that there is no reason
for giving it the moral support
which would result from official rec
ogntion.
The declaration of DR.. Walter Ra-
thenau, the German foreign minis
ter, to Prime Minister Lloyd-GeOrge,
that he saw no necessity for con-
firming the treaty of Versailles by
accepting the French reservations to
the non-aggression pact is interpret
ed in official circles here as disclos-
ing the hope of the Germans that
they may nullify the treaty by means
of agreements at Genoa. M. Barthou,
however, has iron-clad instructions
to resist any tendency to encroach-
ment on the treaty whether in the
non-aggression pact or in other de-
cisions reached at Genoa.

Some Polling Places in
City Not Open, and
Few in County
COST TO COUNTY HIGH
In Return Up to Date the
Highest Vote for One
Person Nineteen

Following the bitter battle of bal
lots yesterday it was still impossible
today to determine with any degree
of certainty just who won out for
membership on the board Of trustees
of the Palatka schools. At noon to-
day the three leading candidates,
with their vote were DR.. E. W. War
ren 10, Jack Blake II, and Mrs.
Walter Tilghman 9. It is said that
many citizens did not know that there
was an election, and it is known that
at least four polling places in the
Palatka district were rot even open
ed, and it is assumed that there were
many in the county which did not
open.
Two years ago when the school
board for this district was elected
only six ballots were cast, and the
cost of conducting the election was
approximately $3.50. 1t with cost
this much this year, and many lead
ing citizens are of the opinion that a
different method should be pursued
in selecting members of the board of
trustees.
l. Commissioners Seek Change.
1t has been practically decided by
the county commissioners to recon-
mend to the next legislature a
change for redistricting the county
so that there will be only one poll
ing place in Palatka for this district,
The same thing, it is probable, will
be urged for selecting the school
board. The employing Of clerks and
inspectors, mileage or delivery Of
ballot boxes, printing Of ballots, ad-
vertising and other costs of such an
election in which the people take so
little interest is all out of proper
ton. it is pointed out.
There were no avOwed candidates
in Yesterdays election, ard it may be
a great surprise to whoever is elect
ed when they are informed that they
are now officials Of the county. 1t
is the consensus of opinion that too
little interest is taken in either the
county board Of the district school
boards
