Champion Boxer to Wear Gloves and Confine His At

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 30.--For the
first time in the history of the ring a
match was made this afternoon in which
the heavyweight champion boxer of the
world will battle the wrestling cham
pion of the world. Stranger Ed Lewis
announced that articles of agreement
had been signed for mixed match be-
tween himself and lack Dempsey. the
worlds boxing title holder, and the con-
tract was signed by Jack Kearns FOR
Dempsey.
Lewis said: I'VE have made the
match. There are only few details to
be worked out. You can think what you
want about it, but when | meet the
champion of the world in the fstic line
lie will learn he is meeting the cham
pion of the world in a style OF combat
that doesn't call for putting on gloves.
"I do not want to boast, but II / am
thrown against the firing line with the
worlds champion pugilist. the people
who like sports will get the same shock
they received when Sikh whipped Car
pentier." -,
1t is understood that the contest will
take place at Wichita. Kan.
Although Lewis did not make public
the rules to govern the bout, there is no
doubt that Dempsey VIII be restricted

hands. and Lewis will be confined TO
wrestling. Dempsey will be declared
the winner II he puts Lewis down for

IT can see no reason why Rube Ben
ton should not be permitted to return
to the National League" said John
McGraw yesterday. Benton was with
the Giants for six years and was un-
der command of McGraw when he was
offered a bribe Of $500 to throw
game to the Cubs on September 10,
1919. and when he was alleged to have
wagered OH the world series of 1919
with the knowledge that the affair
was fixed for the Reds to beat the
White Sox.
''In so far as Is known Benton did
nothing to warrant casting suspicion on
him." continued McGraw. Personally,
was no great friend of the left handler.
However. / never have permitted my
likes and disiikes to influence me in
my selection of players for the New
York club. IL I think a man is capable
and on the level he is eligible for the
Giants no matter what my personal feel
ings toward him may be.
''On the night Of September .. 1919.
Benton was offered a bribe to throw
game which he was scheduled to pitch
against the Chicago club the next day.
He went Immediately to Arthur Fletcher
with the whole story and Fletcher in
formed me about IT. The next day
Benton went out and pitched his head
on--beat the Cubs by TO 3. The same

new SEABOARD AIR
LINE SCHEDULE IS
GIVEN APPROVAL.
Will Carry Three Pullmans
From New Orleans, Pen
sacOla and Tallahassee.

TALLAHASSEE. Dec. 29.-(SpeciaD
1t was learned this morning at the
offices Of the Railroad Commission
ers that the approval of the commits
sion has been given to the proposed
schedule changes of the Seaboard Air
Line recently announced. In fact, it
was made clear by Chairman Burr,
that the changes were, to all intents
and purposes, approved before they
were made public, since the commits
sion has for a number OF years been
making every effort for improved
passenger service between New Or
leans and Jacksonville. The schedule
changes will go into effect Sunday.
The Commissioners had hoped that
it would be possible to induce the Sea-
board to run it's new local train from
Tallahassee to Jacksonville. instead of
from Madison to Jacksonville, as an
nounced, and. according to Mr.. Burr,
it is intended by the railway company
to run this train between Tallahassee
and Jacksonville as soon as the rail-
way company has motor power avail
able for that purpose. 1t is under
stood to be the desire of the company
to run the train the greater distance
y
in the way was that the Seaboard did
not have the necessary motor power.
especially in view of the demands for
its winter service which is to be in
augurated
Three PuIImans.
The new service on this end of the
Seaboard is a very great improvement.
Train No. 80 will leave Jacksonville
at S:45 p. NJ. instead of sis p. m,
as at present, and will carry three
Pullmans, one for Tallahassee. one for
Pensacola and one through to New
Orleans. The result is to give double
daily Pullman service between Jack
sonville and New Orleans. This
train will reach Tallahassee at 2:3O
a. m, instead of midnight as at pres
ent.
Train No. IS viii leave Tallahassee
at $50 a. M, reaching Jacksonville
at $50 a. n. The result will be that
the train viii make the connections in
Jacksonville north and south which il
has been missing.
Train No. IS will leave Tallahassee
at 2:20 p. m, arriving at Jacksonville
at SIS p. m. instead of $50 as at
present This also will result in
north and south connections.
Train 81 leaving Jacksonville at
$40 a. M, will arrive at Tallahassee
at 1925 p. m.
Trains IS and 81 (the day trains)
will carry dining cars. and the meal
stop at Lloyd will be eliminated. The
connection with the dining car service
on the L. &; n. main line into New
Orleans, the result will be dining car
service straight through from Jack
sonville to New Orleans and vice
versa.
