 The American consul helped as much as. he could, and arranged for living quarters in an unused school. But the condition of the adven- turers steadily became worse. Sev- eral were attacked by fever.
 Heroic methods were used to raise funds, but there were no odd joh> in Singapore for Americans or Eu, ropcans. w. E. Boerg, of Peoria, H., secretary of the expedition, who had been something of an amateur boxer, had an idea that he might earn few dollars by fighting in one of the frequent cards at the athletic club in the European col ony.
 Boerg obtained a match with Harry Smythe, a Chinese boxer not withstanding his English name. but on the day of the fight came down with fever. He insisted, however, on climbing into the ring and lasted four rounds, which enrichcned the rxpeditions coffers by $40 in MeXi. can money.
 A few months ago the exodus from Singapore began, every man for himself, and they filtered int .os Angeles and home singly, or in wos and ,threes. All are now safely lack in the United States except Einther and Bals, who remained in 'ingapore.

 Although no stone implements were found on this site, these have been found at nearby places during the past excavations and have indi- cated that the prehistoric animals had man as their companion. The terraces from which the fossils have been taken and on which a great part of London is built, are ancient beds of the River Thames.
 The recently unearthed collection has been presented to the Royal Col lcge of Surgeons.

Party Of 20 Americans Seeking Romance, Sadly DiSiluSiOned

Los Anbeles, Jan. 16. Naval en- of the disillusionment of an ex- petition of 20 Americans. mostly young men from southern California, who left here last May to seek TO- nance and adventure in secluded by-ways of the Orient, was told by the last of the party, who recently returned home here. TSaey. as had the rest of the group, made the re- turn trip by devious route. doing menial tasks aboard steamers after having been stranded for months at Singapore. where their romantic complexcs were shaken by. fever and priyation.
 The returning adventurers offerrd a strange contrast 10 the debonaiI party which set sail on the Presi dent Van Buren with the intention of obtaining motion-pictures among the queer folk and animals in tn, wilds of the Orient. An 'ape-man was to be filmed for the benefit anu enlightenment of American aud fences. The itinerary included a side trip to the Isle of Bale, where a few choice scenes were to be taken Of the inhabitants offering 1000 babes to their gods on an altar Of fire. These pictures were to be sold on the expeditions return.
 The party was headed by Carl F. Rilther and associated with him was William Bals, who professed 10 have had experience in the Orient. The formers wife and little daugh- ter, a child Of 10. were with th, party and shared its hardships.
 The voyage to Manila passed with out incident, but at Singapore theil troubles began. Money sent by Los Angeles packers arrived late, and the travellers were without funds.

TUNNEY GETS OFFER
TO BATTLE DEMPSEY

CHICAGO, March 21.-Billy Gibson.
manager for Gene Tunney, American
light heavyweight champion, an
nounced here tonight that he had re-
ceived an offer for Tunney to box
Jack Dempsey in a 10-round no-de-
cision contest in Los Angeles in June
He said, however, that he would with
hold acceptance of the offer pending
the outcome of negotiations for a 10
round bout to a decision with Tom
Gibbons in New York during the Sum
mer season.
Gibson said Gibbons had been
offered $4,000 to meet Tunney, but
that the st. Paul heavyweight had
displayed no inclination of accepting
It,
"Tunney is willing to meet Gibbons
at catchweights or the light-heavy-
weight limit" Gibbons said. I'VE are
ready to guarantee Gibbons $4,000
This is an offer he cannot refuse, as
he previously agreed to meet Tunney
in Madicon Square Garden and would
not have received more than $25, 900.
"Tunney is the logical opponent for
the St Paul heavyweight. Gene has
grown heavier and stronger and is
developing into a full-fedged heavy
weight. Gibbons should meet him
with Dempsey for a title contest"
Tunney worked out here today.
leaving later for st. Paul to meet,

when they clipped three seconds off
their own record of last year, estab-
fishing a new time of 1:16 3-5 sec
onds: in the medley, when they

was last year, and then he was much
better than in 1923. MoNeely is,
believe, better than when he finished
last season, and he was good then.
AS TO Rice, the only thing needed to
be said of him is that he is az great
as ever. ~.
we do not intend to be caught
without good reserve as we were
last year. Lack of capable second
string talent almost finished US in
the world series Well, we do not
intend to be caught that way again.
Shirley was clever first sacker last
year. He will be better this year
For the other side Of the infield we
will have in reserve Mike McNally
well known to all followers of big
league base ball as one of the best
substitute players in the business,
and Adams, a recruit from the Pacific
Coast League. Adams can do a good
piece of work either at short Or
second.
For the outfeld we will have Lei
bold and either Matthews or Carlyle
in the event any OF the regulars
falter. I am not worrying about the
clubs reserve strength.
THE catching staff. too. is i'm
proved. Ruel is in fine physical con-
dition once more. He does not look
the same Ruel that came out OF the
1924 American League campaign all
tagged out by a. terrible lot of work
Tate and Hargrave both seem to be
doing better behind the bat.
Pitching Is Most Improved.
But think the clubs greatest i'm
provement is in its pitching staff.
With the addition of several veterans,
but sturdy hurlers, l think the Ma
tionals will have the best pitching
staff to be found in the American
League this year. There are a. cou-
pie of new youngsters, too, who
ought to make some OF the oldtimerS
look to their laurels.
Instead of having only four regu-
lars to take their turns on the hill
this year, 1 am banking on having
five. That will give d regular four
days rest after a trick on the slab.
But the club, believe, will have such
a number of capable pitchers that l
can use three, or even four, in a
hard fought game, and still have two
or three men of more than average
ability to throw at the opposition the
next day.
,, wv Washington will have a good club
this year that will be out 10 repeat
its success of last year. 1t will have
just as much fight In it, If not more,
than that which won the world series,
Let me repeat, we'll be hard to beat"

Regarding the new uniform tennis
ball, the federation decided that no
monopoly would be given to any COM
pany, but that the ball presented by
any manufacturer in order to be ac
cepted must meet the specifications
laid down by committee of four,
which the federation appointed.
The adoption of the American foot
fault rule seems likely to raise havoc
among the most prominent French
players, the French Interpretation
having allowed the server to drag the
pivot foot across the baseline at the
moment of impact, giving the server
few feet fudge" Henceforth the
American m method of forcing the serv-
er to stand with both feet behind
the base line, without touching 1t,
and demanding that one foot remain
In contact with the ground during
the entire service action, will be
vigorously applied.
Italy, where the server has been
permitted to spring before the mo-
ment of impact of. racquet and ball,
voted against the rule.

In the third inning Ruel made a
perfect throw to get Walker going
into second, but Peck, who covered
the bag, let the ball go right through
TO- center and the Giant ran into
third base standing up.
Frankie Frisch went from the
sublime to the ridiculous in his field
ing. He made a most brilliant catch
off Goslin in the first inning. rushing
TO just inside the right field foul line
to spear Goose's liner and kill off a
run. But he fooled Pecks easy
grounder in the second session and in
the sixth put the Nationals second
run on base when he fumbled Rice's
roller.
In the hfth frame Ruel caught hold
OF one of Barnes benders and lined 1t
toward left center. But Travis Jack
son made a great leap and spoiled
Muddy's batting average.
Peck had a rough day Of it. IN ad-
>dition to making two errors, he came
up twice when the Nationals had the
bases filled with only one out and hit
into double plays. But he got into
that rally in the ninth.
