HANLON LOSES
IN FIRST ROUND
Some Doubt AS To Whether He
Was K. Cd By Strib Or
Floor

Young StriblRng won in the first
round of his scheduled 10 round bout
with Eddie Hanlon, of Atlanta, in
the main event OF boxing exhibi-
ton card sponsored by the Ameri-
can Legion in the Rylander theater
last night.
Versions differ as to the events
that led up to the sudden ending
of the bout, for it was all over with
in two minutes after the men had
shaken hands in the middle of the
ring.
Both men had been exchanging
punches and Stribling after leading
with hard right to the head, was
forced into a clinch by Hanlon. Ref
cree Asa Tiff, of Albany, stepped
between the two men and ordered
them to break. He pushed them
apart and as he pushed Hanlon away
the latter was seen to trip over Tift's
foot and he fell sprawlng on the
floor on the opposite side of the
ring, his head striking hard upon
the floor of the stage. When he
failed to come to his feet the ref
cree started counting and although
he hesitated at the count of four,
as if undecided to go on, he contin-
ued when Stribling insisted on the
count and hanlon was counted out
and Stribling declared the winner.
These are the facts. Now the
Stribling adherents set Up the claim
that the right to tho head dazed
Hanlon and that the latter was out
on his feet and when the referee
pushed them apart he simply col
lapsed.
Hanlon's friends, and that includes
about everybody from Amcricus who
was at the ringside, insist that Han
lon was the victim of a fluke and
that when he tripped over the ref
erec's foot and hit the floor he was
knocked out by the force of the blow
when his head come in contact with
the floor. Striblng, it was said,
admitted that he did rot hit Hanlon
when the latter fell. Hanlon claims
that up to the time he landed on the
floor none of Stribling's blows had
done him any damage. He had TAX
en- a number of them, following out
his p1an Of battle to accept all that
StribIing could offer him with the
view to landing home one good blow
to the body which he believed wsuld
end, the fight.
The fans were disappointed in the
result of the fight and many were
of the opinion that the fight game
here would have been better helped
if the referee had given Hanlon
chance tn recover from the effects
of tn fall that he beyond any dues-
ito nreceived through the careless
ness of the referee.
However, Stribling was strictly
within his rights in accepting the
decision Of the referee who counted
the Atlanta boy out and awarded
him the fight.
The preliminary fight showed Ba-
by Stribling and Young Pringle, Of
Macon, in fast go that was called
draw, although it looked as if
Young Stribling had considerable Of
an edge in this scrap.
In the Kimsey-P Pittman, fight, the
match was so wholly nlismatcftarg
that a draw was q sort of Solomon's

THE CARE OF THE EYES.

Far sightedness, is more COM,
mon than most people imagine.
Recent statistics show that
about sixty per cent of all child
rem are far sighted. These are
the children that suffer from
their eyes.
Nature has endowed US with a
little muscle that enables us to
focus our eyes, so that the child
is enabled to overcome the de-
feet, thereby seeing perfectly
but at the eXpence of the nerv-
Gus system.
Parents are usually ignorant
of the condition because the child
does not complain of inability to
see well and it is as rule only
when the child complains of
headaches that they have the
childs eyes examined. Proper
glasses work wonders for these
little sufferers. The eye-strain
is relieved, they still enjoy keen
vision but are now comparable.
Far-sightedness properly cor
rected often results in changing
a childs whole life. Attention if
not left too late will frequently
correct the trouble and save the
child many hours of suffering
and save them from wearing
glasses all their lives.
Unfortunately for the child,
the only way to tell whether the
child is far-sighted is to have
his eyes examined but there are
some symptoms that are very
characteristic that parents can
watch for-headaches through
the brows or temples, a tendency
for the eyes to cross, inflamed
eye lids, inattention and lack of
interest in using the eyes for
study and holding the book too
close to the eyes.
To be on the safe side-have
the childs eyes examined.
DR.. Salsberg, the Eye Sight
Specialist of Lewiston will be at
the Cottonwood Hotel, for one
week, beginning Monday, May
18th. 1872

NNE of the periodic cries that

0NE of the periodic cries that
~ the Brooklyn Bridge is not
safe because Of the terrific over
crowding of trains and motor We
hicles having recently been stil!ed
by the statements of engineers who
know the facts, the whole pictur-
esque romance Of the Building OF
the bridge has been again recalled.
When Col. Washington A. Roeb-
ling, who wove the great wire ca
bles over plans made by his IA
Their, John A. Roebling, announced
the other day that the bridge was
good for many years to come, he
spoke from knowledge of long
forgotten facts. He knew when
ne built it that it would be sub
ject to overstrain in the future.
And when he built into that first
great bridge, which ushered in the
Age of Steel Wire and preceded
his wire cables for the Williams
burgh and Manhattan bridges over
the East River, a factor Of safety
far in excess Of what timid mag
nations could picture, he built for
centuries, not decades.
The cables are made of 19
strands, each strand containing
27S wires, continuous like yarn in
a skein nearly 200 miles long. The
