Battle Monday Night At B. A. (. Will Be Hot One

The provocation that has caused more fights than any one under the sun. from the Stone Age to the Twen- tieth Century, from the cradle to the grave, is the underlying factor that will bring Johnny McCfinty and Bat tling Kelly together in the Birming ham Athletic club arena Monday night at S:30 o'clock. The battle for supremacy, the struggle for the sur vival of the fittest. in this case the fightiest, will again be waged with all the modern vigor of fighting age. Instead of the stone hammer and knotty clubs of the Stone Age days. leather gloves will be used.
 When McGinty and Kelly met two weeks ago in the Athletic club ring in an eight-round preliminary bout. the Pratt City Irishman waded into the Battler and for the entire dis tance pushed him around the ring with much vigor. At the end of the melee the referee raised the hands of both-a draw. The decision was openly scorned by many upheld by many and accepted nonchalantly bv many However, it looked exceed ingly like young McGinty shaded his more experienced opponent
 At any rate, there was just enough of the fight to make the fans want more and they immediately demanded of Matchmaker Dave Evans that he put on the bout TOT IlHAil eNcul di- fair and let the two fight t out for 10 rounds for supremacy. Plans were perfected and the bout ar ranged. McGinty will get his first chance in main bout, with the promise that if he makes good there will be more, while Kelly has to show his friends that he was merely say ing himself in the last bout and is fly the better man of the two.
 The fight will rage furious1y neXt Monday night, for the ancient prove cation, ingrained in every red blooded human, will again cause battle.
 The advance ticket sale opened with a rush Thursday morning and indications are that a capacity crowd will witness the battle. Both fight CTS have a large following here and the factions of each opponent will line up around the B. A. C. arena to see their favorite do battle.
 Another bout that should be a good one is the Young Battling Kelly-Petey Sarron battle. The fight is one that has been much in demand. and to further make the occasion a red letter day in the local ring Matchmaker Evans matched these two slugging demons for a four round preliminary.
 Big Boy Edwards of the Boys club will box Harry Carter of Atlanta in the six-round preliminary bout, while Earl Craddock and Paul McGinty will l meet in a four-round preliminary.

UNIVERSITY BUSINESS MEN
Leaders Recognize Increasing Vol
 umne Of Trained Mind

''What is the use of it all ?' Again one hears that question asked in all sincerity by those who see in Oxford nothing but a fantastic parade of dons and dreamers. eternally engaged in the pursuit of the abstract through network of narrow streets and clustering spires.
 The question, though it is hardly worth asking, is at least worth an- swering. on account of it's extreme plausibility. To your practical man 1t is al so obvious. No appreciation of the plays of Aristophanes. he says, will help a man to sell motor car The most minute knowledge of the foreign policy of Queen Elizabeth will be of little avail against the guile of a German commercial traveller.
 It must therefore seem strange to the practical man to find great busi ness men who have proved that they at least can succeed in the world, de- liberately borrowing among our uni versailles in search of classical scholars. It must seem even stranger when they discover that the purpose which the dreamers are to serve is not to sell Greek dictionaries or to explain the mysteries of the best sell lers in the bargain basement, but to be trained to occupy posts of admin istrative importance
 
 wha the is about. He is beginning to realize that a trained mind, flexible and elert, is of more importance than any amount of specialized knowledge
 And Oxford does, in it's queer, round about way, produce trained minds. It may not tell you how to fit one par ticular peg into it's special hole, but it teaches the general principles which lie behind the knocking in of all pegs
 The man who can get a first in Greek must have so disciplined his mind and sharpened his facilities that no business crisis can greatly alarm him. It is very much easier to make money than to take firsts, and the only reason why some scholars do not make money is be- cause they do not particularly de- sire to do so.
 To a Coleridge. Oxford might we'll offer nepenthe that he would drink to his destruction. To the practical" man it gives a reaI1zation that life is greater than bank balance. and that it's lessons cannot be contained be- tween the covers of 8 passbook Beverley Nichols, in the Continental Edition of the London Mail.

RARE TYPE GENTLEMAN
And WinsIow Homer, The Painter
 Lived Almost Life Of A RecIuse

And Winslow Homer, The Painter,
 Lived Almost Life Of A RecIuse
 Winslow Homer's life was almost the life of a recluse. He lived during manys years in secluded village, Prout's Neck, on the Maine coast. He rarely visited Boston or New York. He was a reserved man, nlingling little with men of affairs. Excepting the companions with whom he had been associated in the old Tenth Street Studio building, in New York city, he knew few of the painters of our period. I recall an incident which illustrates this. On one occasion we were dining at the old Holland house. After luncheon I suggested that we go to the "Varnishing day. reception at the National academy. To this MT. Holmer demurred, say ing that he never put himself in where he was not expected; but pres entity we did go to the reception. AL though his works were known to every man present, few of them had ever met Homer. I think l actually Introduced him to score of the younger painters within the first 5 minutes. He was given an ovation. For half hour it seemed like a Homer reception.
 Some years before this incident oc-
 
 fellow painters to serve on the Car negie Institute jury of award. Frank Duveneck had also been elected to serve on this jury. Homer had tele- graphed the time of his departure from New York and I went to the station to meet him. Duveneck step per from the train, and as I greeted him I inquired for Homer, but was assured that Homer was not on the train. Hesitaing to leave the sta- tion. scanned .he faces of the pas sengers and seeing Homer, suddenly exclaimed, There he is," In sur prise Duveneck said, "Why, that is the little gentleman with whom I sat in the smoker all the way over the mountains. We talked about everything but art"
 These incidents illustrate what I mean. Homer did not mingle with the painters. This was not because he was not companionable. He was delightful companion and a perfect host. The days I spent with him at Prout's Mock. when we tramped day after day along the rocky Maine coast made so familiar to art lovers by his masterly paintings, come back to me in memory as among the most delightful of my life. "A practical, m iethodical man, exact in his form of expression, thoroughly business like in all his dealings, he impressed m as rare type of the old d-time American Eentleman.--John W. Beat ty, in the Review of Reviews.

THEIR BEER IS SACRED
Bavarians Will Stomach Meddling
 With Any Institution But That

Theer is always plot on foot in Munich-either plot to push Frenee into the Atlantic ocean or to shove Russia across the Ural mountains or to shoot som ebody or to seize some thing.
 And, above all else. one finds the largest quantities of beer of the most fascinating flavor that can be found anywhere at all and more pas sionate devotion to the consuming of said beer than exists in any other part of the known world.
 It is highly probable that Germans in general and Bavarians in par ticular will dismiss with con temptous exclamation of "Pdui!' the statement that beer Is at the bottom of many of the peculiar matters that may be observed in Munich and It's purlieus. The fact remains, how ever, that beer plays more power ful part in the life, customs and ac tivities of the Bavarians than al- most anything else.
 The Bavarian, for example. re- mains stolid and unmoved when the doubling. quadrupling and even oc- tupling of train fares, street car fares, taxi fares and what not due to the frequent and nerve-racking nose dives of the German mark, leave hin. cold. When theatre prices and
  with a shrill whizzing noise. he blinks fildly and contents himself with emitting a phlegmatic South German grumble.
 But when the price of beer is in- creased beyond a point pleasing to the Bavarian he immediately puts on hi slittle felt hat with the shaving brush sticking up angrily fynp the back of the band, stalks out on the street with his blond mustache work ing convulsively, and participates in a violent demonstration against the vile and unbearable indignity that has been heaped upon him.
 Tru enough, it is the regulation Bavarian demonstration in which several thousand men and women stand in one spot for two or three hours in an orderly and stolid man ner, occasionally whispering hoarse ly to each other or hurling sup pressed guttural commands at their dachshunds when they stray from their sides.-Kenneth L.

THE GREAT RETREAT

men have brought forth upon this continent new theory of valor, con- ceived in prudence and dedicated to the proposition that the best de- fense Is fast pair of ankles. Named in the order of their displacement they are Gene Tunney, light heavy weight champion of America; Mickey Walker. welterweight champion of the world; Joe Lynch. bantamweight champion of the world, and Pancho Villa, boss-man of all the flyweights.
 The original theory of the prize fight business was that champion ruled his class by the weight of his knuckles In an almost forgotten era of the business the champion of class angered dangerously when challenged by man of his own weight. If no purse was offered there might be a joust with naked knuckles for which even the gov ernment didn't get war-tax. Those. it might be said wistfully, were the days.
 It is strange that Tunney and Lynch, who soldiered in France should be the fleetest and the neat est opponents of the new fighting philosophy. Tunney flees to Red Bank, N. J., and calls for the con stabulary whenever the papers say that Tom Gibbons Is thinking of com ing to New York for a fight. Hc hasn't fought to a decision in a year. Lynch lately was matched to fight Joe Burman in New York and after considerable noise had been expended on the ballhoo he took to his ankles and fled He wasn't hurt in train ing; he didn't have a cold; he hadn't got stale. He just became afraid of Joe Burman and ran out.
 l In every case but Tunneys this hyper-cautious conduct seems to be not only silly but wasteful. For

Walker can beat any other welter- weight in the land and the easiest of all for him would be Dave Shade, who is rated as the runner-up in his sector. Lynch knows now that he fled from a bogey-man because Abey Goldstein, little. second rater, subbed for him and beat Burman easily. No flyweight can beat Villa, with the very doubtful exception of Frank Genaro. All three of these young capitalists could step in the ring once a month and draw their s10,00o time with only the merest outside risk of losing that which is the prizefighter's most priceless pos session.
 With Tunney 1t is different. Tun- ney does we'll to stay out of the ring because that is the only way he can rsmain champion.

 Is it going too far to state that this is too bad? Without mass cheer ing, directed by flyweight cheer leaders, the colleges of Europe will never know the blessings of our American football. It seems a pity. Football would be a painless means of working off international grudges and would provide a surplus of gate receipts where wars leave only na- tional debts. The pity is greater too. because the Russian, the German, the Polish, French and Scandinavian languages lend themselves so beau tifully to the Concentration of loud and horrendous sounds. Any jour neyman cheer-designer could supply the lock in five minutes of free-hand composition on the back of vodka list. Then they could play football. and the people could shout the inter- national insults. thus saving much time and many salaries of the men now employed in their foreign of- fices for a corresponding purpose.
