Shugrue could no longer see through bloody eyes, but was still on his feet when the referee intervened. It seemed as. if either might be floored in the terrific fighting of the first two rounds. Shugrue made the southerners head rock with rights and lefts, while Moran. with uppercut right and left hook shook Shugrue again and again. Moran seemed the stronger and his blows more telling.
 Shugrue bled from cuts under both eyes. on the bridge of the nose ana from his mouth, and took terrific beating in the third and fourth rounds. He could hardly see, and his courage in standing before the reient- less assault was remarkable thing to see.
 Shugrue showed good form enly In the opening two rounds. when with swinging attack he had Moran sway. ing to the ropes for safety several times. Moran's blows in the second round slowed Shugrue, however, and he was handicapped by the blood that flowed from many cuts about his face.
 Shugrue was seconded by his brother, Joe Shugrue. time boxing favorite. His younger brother, Will lis. won a decision over Charley Koh- Ter of New York in a six-round pre- liminary.

LOREN MURCHTSON
 READY FOR TRACK
American Olympic Star Re- covers From Auto
 Accident

NEW, YORK, Jan. 4.---I.oren Murch- ison, one of America's best Olympic sprinters, has recovered from the in- 5ury to- hise-spine suffered in an few weeks ago, and will reappear on the track at the municipal athletic activities games here on. January 31. Murchison notified Fred Rubien, chairman of the games committee, that he had regained his old form and had equalled his best time in several recent trials.
 The restoration of Murchison to the list of live sprinting possibilities for the Olympic games was cheering news for the American Olympic csfnmit- tee as he holds the world, record for 60 yards and Is fast up to 300 yards. Charley Paddock is one of the sprin- ters who has, taken Murchison's dust in the course of the St. Louis athletes career as a star.
 The season of indoor club track meets will soon be swinging along Ray Watson. the latters teammate in the I. A. c. of Chicago have entered the Wilco games to De held on Febru- ary. Is. and Ray is determined to run in the silk A. A. games on Janu- ary 15. notwithstanding the with drawal of Willie Ritola, the Finnish middle distance celebrity.
 Ray and Ritola, were to have re- newed their speedy controversy at the silk games in a 5000 metres race but Ritola suddenly withdrew from Amer ican sport and also from American life. Ray has asked that a special race at 1.500 metres be arranged and this probably will be done. RitoIa sailed for Finland with his family, Friday. taking his national 10-mile and cross-country championships back to the homeland. He said he land in the 5000, 5000 and 10000 metres races in the Olympic games in Paris next summer where he and Ray probably will meet again.

Ne.O Cage League Opens Schedule. B. A. C. Friday

sBirmingham's youngest basketball league got off to an suspicious start Friday night in the Birmingham Ath- letic club gymnasium. when six fast teams clashed in the opening games. Charles Stapleton, president of the Birfninghafn Basketball association which Is sponsoring the league, made few remarks and introduced Her bert L. Cobbs, president of the Bir- mingham Athletic club. who said a few words on the value of basketball and the good that the new organiza- ton could do in local athletics as :. well as an expression of the B. A. C.s desire to cooperate with the organi- zation in promoting local amateur sport, and the schedule grind got orr to a flying start. S
 The brand of basketball was fast. and In the feature game of the eve ming, between the Birmingham Ath- letic Club Reserves and the Phillips High School Crfmsons, an extra five minute period had to be played to unite the score.

 The Woodlawn High team showed marvellous amount of speed to de- feat the Pedagogues, 22 to 6. Despite the wide margin of the score, it was a rugged, hard-fought game, and the Pedagogues played hard to the last. The speed of the youngsters was too much for the aged bones of the Peds, and they could not combat on equal tefms with them.
 The Chenoweth team, combina- tion of former college and high school stars, defeated the First Presbyte- rians, S4 to 1s. The Preds put up a tough resistence in the first half. but late in the game the eye of the Chenoweth combination became geared to the basket and they rung them from all angles.
 In the Phillips-B. A. c. game, Abe Jaffee was the big star. shooting 13 points. Cy Anderson did some good long-range shooting and Holder played a good defensive game. The all-' round playing of Armstead Leake and the shooting of Ollie Hilburn featured for the Blues.
 For Woodlawn, Mitchell Burns, Ruble Moore and Cunningham starred, while for the Peds Hendrix. Hi Pockets" Bryan and Duck" Still we'll played best. Bryan shot the only field goal for the Peds.

Though the Wilson policies have
aroused unexampled partisanship
both for and against him, friend and
foe alike recognized the. essential
greatness Of the man, Christian
gentleman, an American of unassail
able ideals and motives.
Any man who has been President
of the United States enjoys, so long
as he lives, peculiar and distinct
affection in the hearts of the nation.
When he dies a leader goes whom
they can never replace.
It is in this sense today that all
Americans unite in sorrow over the
death of Woodrow Wilson. In this
sense the sympathy Of all our hearts
goes out to the widow who loved him.

OUR NEWEST MIRACLE

A few days ago we read New
York dispatch to the effect that a
number of persons engaged in digg-
ing the new tunnel under the Hud-
son to connect New York City with
Jersey City had heard a concert
over a radio instrument placed in
the tunnel 80 feet undr the bed of
the river and 1000 feet from the
opening. Concerts were heard from
broadcasting stations as far away
as Pittsburgh. 1t was more proof
that we are living in day of mod
ern miracles.
Many of the older residents of
this community recall when the
first telephone came to. their atten-
ton. For years they had scoffed at
the idea of carrying on a conversa-
ton over an ordinary piece of wire
stretched across a distance of sew
eral hundred miles They also re-
member when they laughed at the
idea that man named Edison had
invented a machine that would re-
cord and then reproduce the human
voice. But these same people are
not scoffing and laughing at the
wireless--at radio. They have come
to realize that few things are i'm
possible in this day and age.
Radio may never supplant the
telephone, and it will never take
the place of the newspaper, but it is
going to become of common use in
this country, in fact all over the
world, and that before many years.
1t is going to help the newspaper
in carrying information of value
into the rural districts. 1t is, like
the telephone and the auto, going to
bring the people of our farms into
much closer touch with the people
of our towns and cities. Radio has
hardly scratched the surface SO far,
and it is almost impossible to list
the many benefits tina mankind is
going to get out of it. So, if you
find a fellow who SCOTS at it, just
save this little article and read it to
him in a few years.

ONE MANS SECRET

A 14-year old boy, George Black,
built himself wagon out of four
wheels, an egg crate and some other
material, then went to peddling mer-
chandise for eggs among farm folks
around the town of Pigeon, Mich.
He became known to ever farmer for
miles around. A few years later he
opened store The business out
grew it and be bought a big factory
building. Recently he built a three
story addition to that. Black now
does business of $350,000 year in
this town of 800 population. People
for miles around trade with him.
Statesmen in his store work on COM
mission; his hardware clerk averages
$3.50 a month and the woman at his
notion counter makes $50 week.
His business nets about $1,000 day.
Not long ago a merchant in larger
town took day off and went to Pig
con solely to ask George Black if he
cared to divulge the secret of his sue
cess. Black smiling said he was glad
to tell the world his secret; and he
told it in words we want every mer-
chant in and around Belington to
read and commit to memory. He
said:
II offer nothing but real bargains
and advertise in the newspapers
in small town around Pigeon There
no secret to advertising has done
it for me-"
