In the feature Bobby Marriott,
middleweight champion of the United
States Army, lost through a foul in
the eleventh round to Jumbo Eggles-
ton, pride of the Mohawk Club of this

the fight and the unintentional foul
was most unfortunate for him. Jumbo
fooled all the wise ones not only by
sticking the distance, but in dealing
out some wicked punishment himself
A left hook to the jaw dropped
Eggleston in the first round and he
very wisely took the count of nine
and weathered the round. Thereafter
he time and time again took them

Jimmy Brooks. tough ringster from
Baltimore. Brooks experience was
Il big asset to him and kept him out
in front for the first four rounds
Strovall never for a moment lost his
coolness under fire and early in the
fifth round an opportunity presented
itself and he shot his right flush to
the. Baltimorean's jaw, knocking him
clear through the ropes and nearly
out of the ring, where he was counted
out.

The emblem was prepared for the

DENIES CONTRIBUTION
TO ANTI-B0NUS FUND
Colgate & Co. Disclaims Any In
fuence Over Views of
Its Employees.

Denial of a statement published in
The Evening Star on March to the
effect that among others Colgate &
Co. were contributors to the Anti
Bonus League was made in a letter
to American Legion posts made pub
lie by the company today.
The statement on March was con-
tanned in an account of a public hear
ing before the ways and means COM
mittee of the House of Representa-
tives. The article said Thomas Tyler,
Legislative representative of the
American Legion, had given a list
of 400 contributors to the Anti-Bonus
League, and mentioned Colgate & Co.
among others.
The letter to the legion denying
such is the case is as follows:
"The newspaper report that Colgate
& Co. have contributed to the anti
bonus cause is untrue. LAS a COM
pany, we take no part in any political
or religious controversies, we exert
no influence whatever upon politics,
religion or belief of our people other
than that they shall be loyal to us
and enjoy the respect of the COM
munity in which they live. We have
several thousand employees scattered
from Maine to California, and what
their private views may be is no con-
Germ of this company. Many may be
heartily in favor of a bonus and many
of them may be against it. 1t would
be contrary to all American traditions
for us in any way to question their
individual stands any more than your
legion post would attempt to ques-
tion the political party affiliations of
its members.
Three hundred and eighty-one of
our employees served in the world
war. ten of whom died. We con-
tinue to pay all of these their wages
during their period of service and
their positions were held open for
them upon their return. We also
had a legion post in our organiza-
tion."
