NEW YORK. Dec. Is Omitted
press)-Richie Mitchell. milwaukee,
lightweight, was considered elimin-
ated from the list OF contenders for
Benny Leonard's crown today, fol-
lowing his defeat in ten rounds by
Charley White at the Garden last
night.
MitchelTs star sank when his sec
onds flung a towel after the Milwau-
kee battler had taken three counts
OF nine in the tenth. At the same
time White assumed the role OF
logical challenger OF Leonard's SUI
premacy in the lightweight field.
II was battle that gave the fans a
real run for their money and White
took a severe lacing before he finally
wore Mitchell down. In the second
round, the deadly right which near
" sank Benny Leonard two years
ago connected with Charley's button
and he swayed on his feet, but
weathered the storm.
White knocked Mitchell down in
the first round. and the latter's come
back was a surprise. From then on.
Il was anybodys battle until the
ninth when the Milwaukee boy

second OF play, when Smith secured

Clemenceau D an G erous
Man, Lecturer Tells City
Audience
THINKS PARIS WOULD
SEIZE THE RHUR

In an address on Current History
Of Current Events" before the New
Century Club last night. Albert
Dougherty Reese. an authority on
international problems. charged that
"clemenoeau is dangerous because
he is not telling the whole truth
about political conditions in France
. Clemenceau, Mr.. Rees said, IS
psychologIcally. a young man. but
old politically. The speaker pro-
duced documents to prove that the
French want to seize tho left bank
Of the Rhine rather than have the
Germans pay their debts.
Because Of Frances disastrous
diplomatic policy, she has become
the most hated nation in Europe to-
day" the speaker declared.
In discussing our relations with
international affairs, Mr.. Rees said
that the United States was sitting
back in a grand stand seat and view
ing the spectacle. offering sugges-
tions and erlticising in a theoretical
way, but doing nothing material to-.
wards righting conditions. He said
that the British Empire has had to
solve thousand political problems
where we have only had to solve
one. I'VE are just beginning TO pro-
ject ourselves into international af-
fairs" said Mr.. Rees.
Regarding the late victory OF the
Labor party, toward control of the
political empire, Mr.. Rees said that
we as Americans regard the Labor
Party as largely made up of labor
ing men with little intelligence He
said that many OF the middle-clsss
people have Joined the Labor Party
in England.
For the first time in a thousand
years Of English history, the Labor
Party is in grasp OF real power"
He said that there is not and
never has been any Red movement
within the Labor Party. He declar-
ed the highest aim OF the Labor
Party in England IS to gain control
Of the foreign policies OF Great
Britain. f;
THE one thing Characteristic OF
the Labor Party is the absence Of
violent emotionalism," Mr.. Rees
stated.

Wilmington High School opened
its swimming season yesterday even

they sent back the Coatesville High
natators a loser. The final score

Those who witnessed the meet
between these teams last season will

was formerly held by Haskell. OF

part of Keen before he finally receiv-
the judges decision for first place.

The event was so close that Il was
necessary to have each member try
three plunges. The first two tries
were close to the seven-second
mark. However. Keen on his third
try. reached the other end of the
pool to give him the record. The
other contestants did not come up
to their previous attempts.
The relay race, which was over
a distance of 107 yards, marked the
opener of the meet and afforded the
spectators many thrills to see one
swimmer get ahead and then an
other. Finally Edward Bardo beat
out Holman by an arms reach. The
time for the locals in this event was
53:2 seconds. This is their best
time in competition. although at one
OF their practices this week they
broke the record. which is held by
the Girard College quartet.
