Neglect To Provide Mail

Cause

Total of About $500
Places Out of 5124
Houses Served Have
Put in Boxes

approximately 1900 household
ers today are worrying because
they did not receive any mail. Il
is all their fault, for their fail
ure to receive mail was because
they automatically separated
themselves from the free delivery
service by their neglect to in
stall either boxes or slot in
their doors for the receipt Of the
mail as required by the United
States Postofiice Department.
According to Postmaster +.
Clinton Knight the since yester-
day approximately 400 persons
making a grand total of about
$500 householders that have thus
far installed the required boxes.
The city postoffice furnishes mail
to 1924 homes in the city, ac-
cording to the records compiled
by the carriers in the local Of
flee.
Until the delinquents comply
with the request of the depart
ment to install boxes they will
have to come to the city post
Office and receive their mail at
what is known as the general de-
livery window. All mail -r
houses where boxes are not
stalled is brought back to ne
postoffice by the carriers and "
der no circumstances will they

such houses.
In the opinion of the postma
the vast majority of the hou

PARIS, Nov. 25.-(By Associated Press.)-John J. McGraw, manager and part owner of the New York National league baseball club, put somewhat of a orimp in the par mutuels machines at the Auteuil race track this afternoon. McGraw beat the first five races on the program, but failed in his siXteh attempt to win.
 Although his pockets were filled with bills, he did not make what is known in sporting parliance as & killing" for the winners he picked were ct short odds an the france when translated into dollars did not represent any great amount.
 There are too many ciphers to these bills" declared John. T all ways feel as if I am betting beyond my means"
 The manager of the National league champions was wagering 1 1000 francs to the race, or little more than $50.
 While McGraw was assisting in in specting the breed of French horses, Mrs. McGraw and Mrs. Hugh Jen- nings spent the afternoon visiting the Chateau Versailles. McGraw and his party will leave for Germany Tuesday.
 Guy Garner of Kentucky and Frank ONeill of St. Louis finished second and third respectively, in the list of winning jockeys for the season. The American riders were topped by Jack Jennings of England. Jennings had 101 winning mounts, Garner S9 and O'Nein S3.

BURNBROOK WINS NOTICE IN BOUT
Army Fighter Beats Veteran WeIter In Battle In
 Gotham

NEW YORK, Nov. 25-Of all the hard luck-Eddie Burnbrook of Camp Holabird Md, welterweight champion of the army and one of the lustiest swatters in the ring at his weight, recently re-enlisted for an other term. Burnbrook's pugilistic ambitions were conservative. He was satisfied that he could not go far in the professional ring and believed there was more lucrative future in waiting for real fight as mem- ber of Uncle Sans gang than there would be in the cauliflower trade. Meantime, he planned to get an over night pass whenever the occasion required, to take cheap matches with professionals at the clubs in Phila- delphia, Baltimore and New York.
 Then Jimmy Bronson, the ancient who handled many soldier bouts in the A. E. F. centers in France and who tried to make a professional champion of Soldier Bob Martin. got hold of him. So did Captain Mabbutt, the 2S0-pound foot ball giant of the Ninth corps team. Mabbutt would go a thousand miles for fight. He went several thou sand to be in Shelby last summer for the Congregations match.
 Bronson and Mabbutt thought more of Burnbrook than the buck private thought of himself. Without inter- fering with his crashing swing, they taught him infighting and something about long range boxing.
 Last Tuesday they got leave for Burnbrook and brought him to New York. In Madison Square Garden he spent 12 rounds chasing the tough Harry Galfund, a local star, swatting Galfund whenever he got within range. Sometimes Burnbrook would cut across the ring and intercept the fleeing Galfund with a whaling right to the kidneys. Every time the blow landed, Galfund would cave 1T on his left side and limp away.
 When the race ended. BurnbrooB had galloped into the first rank o1 welterweights. He needs still more coaching at defensive boxing, but his swing Is like the recoil of a big gun.
 At midnight Burnbrook was on the train for camp, chanting something to the effect that 'Tn never ge rich; I'm in the army now"
