tolerance accorded by the miners to
the elsewhere despised rodents lay in
the fact that, when great cave-in of
rock was about to occur in a mine,
the rats gave the miners their first
warnings. The animals became very
uneasy and were to be seen scamper-
ing about at unwonted times and in
unusual places.
The rats always were the first to
discover that the earth was settling
and set out in search of place of
safety. 1t was supposed the waste
rock and timbers, in settling. pinched
them in their usual holes and haunts
and so forced them to go forth in

avoid being crushed to death.-By

here of Johnny Buff. former worlds
bantamweight and American flyweighs

Shelton that he wanted more money
and was told by the local promoter
that he could consider the fight plans
off.
Tuesday morning a wire came from
Buff that there had been a misunder-
standing of some sort and he still
hoped to fight Kid Pancho on the
SOledad Roof here on Monday night
August 20. Shelton telegraphed back
TO Jersey City. Bluffs home town, thaI
if original agreements could be con-

would cancel his hastilly-made plans
to substitute the Canadian fIyweighr

Buff some time Tuesday afternoon.
Shelton originally agreed to pay the
fare of Buff and his manager from

turn. Mondays wire from Buff was
demand that a third rouIul trip
ticket be included TO take care Of

total outlay for fares to $3.50. Shelton

INTEREST BEGINS TO
LOOK UP REGARDING
WILSON-GREe FIGHT
Johnny Starts Training for
Bout With Harry on
August 81.
BY FAIRPL.AY,

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light
New York. Aug. 14.-With Johnny
Wilson starting training at Summit,
n. j.. and Harry Greb due in town
to begin his work of preparation,
interest in the middleweight cham
pionship bout scheduled for the Polo
Grounds August 81 is looking up. As
n matter of fact, tickets are already
selling and the outlook is for a regu-
lar Richard outpouring.
Despite the consistent and SUSTAIN
cd knocking he receives, Harry Greb
is n drawing card, if only because
everyone knows that when he enters
a ring there is action until he leaves.
His training will be done in the farm
house used by Criqui at Manhasset,
l.. l., and everything is all ready for
his appearance there.
Wilson out in Summit has already
engaged that clever Jersey welter-
weight. George Ward, TO sharpen
him up on speed and now the call
has gone out for some rugged mix
ers who will be able to stand Will
sons famous body punches and sock
in return.
There has been no interest at all
of late in the middleweight class, due
chiefly TO the fact that the titleholder
has been under suspension and that
there are no real classy artists in
this division. Perhaps there will be
n change of complexion after this
battle. There certainly will be if
Greb wins because he is colorful
performer and a real fighter and
where a champion of the sort exists,
real contenders are sure to rise.
Ii is assured now that one of the
good battles Of the early fall will be
between Joe Lynch. the bantam
weight king, and Pancho Villa, the
flyweight. In order 10
prepare himself for this test. Lynch's
manager is booking him up for a long
list of fights, beginning with a match
against Joe Bernan of Chicago in
New York.
