Jack Stone must have been hand ed a terrific lacing by Jack Delane, in their bout at Fall River the Gthe night This is how the ring critic O the Providence Journal viewed tn battle:
 Jack Delaney of Bridgeport won every round from Jack Stone of NewYorE at the Casino, Fall River, last night. Delaney hammered his man for 10 rounds showing his old speed and shifty attacks, but could not put him away.
 Although Stone was a target for DeIauey'S left hooks, which rained in over and through his guard. he tried hard to connect with his right swing, which seemed 10 have plenty of kick Stone held up well until the ninth and 10 rounds, when he received heavy punishment.
 Stone held Delaney off in the first round, but the latter broke loose in the second and forced him to the ropes, where he GOV cred up. From then on the fight waS- more or less unintcreStiDg, for Stone was forced to guard carefully in attempts to Slock Delancy's rapid attacks.

Ing toward a better citizenship, a

The American Legion was born
amid the wreckage of war out of
the desire OF the men who fought
that the cause for which they
found should not perish, but that
1t should 30 on In peace to glorious
fulfillment. Today, beginning It's
NTH year OF activity, the American
Legion finds itself committed more
than ever to four big principles,
to the nation at large and under
stood by the great majority.
They are: disqualification, rehabili.

Americanixation.
For these four principals the

The legion asks that every dis
abled buddy shall receive by next
Armistice Day adequate hospitalisa-
tton--a fine and expert care and
attention as any war-made million
aire can buy with his dollars.
It asks that so far as 1t is
humanity possible, every disabled
buddy shall have been rehabiiitated,
restored to q place in the economic
life OF our country where he can
compete successfully with his fel-
lowmen.
1t disks that the men who fought

All these things spell one hope,
one ideal, one purpose-Ameri-
