FUENTES WINS BOUT
when SMITH FOULS
BY HARRY NICHOLS.

By Gable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News.
MEXICO CITY, January 2.-Tony
Fuentes, idol of the Mexican fight

some doubt as to whether he is really
Mexican or n native of Arizona
gained a decision yesterday in the
big bull ring here over Homer Smith
in the fifth round of their scheduled
l2-round route by means of a foul
olow on the part of Smith There
was crowd of 10000 present to wit
ness the bout, and that popular SYM
pathy was with Fuentes was evident.
This fighter, whose meteoric rise
has been remarkable and who was
the hero, or villain-the courts of
law have not yet decided Wilhelm
his fight with Fred Fulton at Culver
City, got none the better of today's
encounter. At times he acted like a
raw recruit, with the entire absence of
his supposedly deadly right, which
has knocked out so many
The first round was a series of
cllnches, with Smith planting no less
than six left jabs and Fuentes evil

swing a decisive blow, as has been
his custom. number of his victo-
rles have been gained in the first
round. None of Smiths blows was
heaYy, and the round was about even.
In the second round Fuentes tried
an upper-cutting stunt, but Smith $
long left prevented this. There was
not much between them in this round.

The third round was sensational
Fuentes drove Smith to the ropes and
battered him at will, but apparently
not knowing how to end the affair
Rugged Smith stood it well. the gong
saving him from a difficult situation
In the fourth round Smith made a
remarkable recovery and carried the
light to Fuentes. Both did excellent
infghting and both also bled pro-
fusely.
The fifth round saw both men fight
ing hard, Smith IL anything getting
the better of 1T until his long left hit
Fuentes too low and thus terminal ed
what promised to be one of the best
fights seen in Mexico.
The local view is that Fuentes is
much overrated and needs much
training before meeting opponents of
first rank or he will be broken. Evil

right punch, but sadly lacks finish.
Smith, who is a much older fighter,
looked like a winner although he
was in bad way in the third round.
After the fight he said that owing to
the high altitude he was at sea dur
ing part of the fight. Some of the
spectators were dissatisfied with the
fight, asserting that it was a fake,
but closeup view showed that both
men were scrapping honestly.

Thus persons who are away from
home for a spell in the woods are
likely to forget about the warmth
of the mattress, considering it only
as something soft to lie on and when
they set cold at night they simply
put on more blankets-it worked at
home, it should work here.
An experienced camper, however,
realizes that it is the whole bed. noe
only the covers, that keeps people
warm at night. Since 1t is moro i'm.
portant to have plenty of things un.
der you than 1T is to have them ON
top, the underblankets or mattress
should be considered first. When you
have seen that these are ample, and
are protected against dampness, look
to covers.
The principle in night covering, as
in clothes, is to have spaces of dead
air confined by non-conducting agen-
cies. Wool ds on-conducting, so
dead air spaces between wool blank
cts make good warmth. That is why
several thin blankets are better than
one thick one. The ideal covering
would be two blankets separated by
half an inch of air. But, of course
you can't keep the blankets apart3
they touch each other in many places.
So the next best thing is to fill the
space between the blankets with raw
wool or feathers. These filings serve
simply to hold the blankets apart
That is why wool quilts, elder down
robes and rabbit skin blankets are
warmer than blankets. These last
two are the bedding classics of the
woods.

BASHARA TOO MUCH
FOR TURNER IN RING

Jack Turner failed to live up to the
expectations of his mates from
Washington Barracks when Joe
Bashara, the Norfolk National
Guardsman. whipped him badly in
the Fort Myer arena last night. His
victory over the local middleweight
boxer gives Bashara a chance at
Eddie Burnbrook in the same ring
three weeks hence.
For seven rounds the mill was a
boxing exhibition, but at Turner's
invitation to fight" in the eighth
the Armenian started in, and from
then until the final bell had things
much his own way. Turner was
still on his feet at the end, but the
general opinion was that he had had
enough for one evening.
Midget Carbon of Fort Myer and
Eddie Leonard, youngster from
Baltimore, furnished the 10-round
semi-final, which proved to be the
best bout of the occasion. Leonard
easily outpointed the cavalryman, but
Carbon gave a great exhibition of
gameness.
In the third round of a preliminary
AL Forum of Fort Myer knocked out
Billy Miske, a Navy man. Kid Nakel
and Young Brown fought to a draw
in the curtain raiser.

ington proposition is interest in hand

And there is no reason why he
should not have another good year in
the American League unless some
thing develops to weaken his arm, as
was the case, temporarily, three or
four years back.
The Pacific Coast men outside of

of buying, figure that If he had taken

Every one of our cities would have
had an attendance the first day that
would have been record breaker.
In San Francisco, for instance, l am
positive that with good weather only

grounds would have limited the

Johnson has been hunting up in the
mountains since he returned to Reno,
where he finds the climate good for a
base ball player who is taking his
leisure after working hard on the
field all season. He makes a long
trip to go from Reno to the Wash
ington training camp at Tampa, Fla,
but he finds that he can shift climates
all right, and he does not mind the
trip.

The second and third periods were
scoreless, with Pennsylvania display
ing it's greatest strength in the third.
The Californians were able TO with
stand Pennsylvania's passing attack
in the fourth period, when they broke
1t up and left the Quakers wonder
ing. Taking the ball on downs after
breaking up several Penn overhead
attacks on the California 45-yard line,
the Western team swung into an
offensive once more.
The Californians on four bucks
through the center of the Quaker line
carried the ball to a touchdown. The
last plunge OF 10 yards was made
through Mckinley the famous all
American tackle of the Quakers.
Carlson's goal kick for California
added the fourteenth and final point
of the game.

Hornsby has spent all of his base
ball life in st. Louis, but never with a
team which could help to bring out
his best efforts. He started to play
third base, but the throw was not
adopted to a man of his physique, so
he tried his hand at short, but he was
not a shortstop. Then he went to
second base and there he has played
since, doing a great deal with very
little fuss, but not able to cover the
ground that some second basemen
can cover and never likely to be able
to do so.
When he gets tired of playing the
infield he can go to the outfield,
where he should be a success, just
as long as he can bat .280 or better.
Right field is the best place for him
and he would play grand and
glorious right field If he had two
fast men in center and left to keep
him company.
Hornsby batted better as the pitch
ing got worse. In that respect he
kept up with all the other ball play
ers who had the benefit of the three
years in base ball, in which the art
of pitching degenerated into a gentle
toss, about as effective as the toss of
two old cats, but very easy on the
arms of the ball players who did the
tossing, and likely to keep them in
base ball three or four years longer,
if they could get away with 1t.
In 1924, Hornsby fielded better at
second in .the little time that he
played there than he did in any other
year except 1923. He plays about
half way between second and first
and is not much more certain on one
side than on the other. He throws
eXcellently, having always been pos
sessed of good arm, and 1T was
the strength in his arm that made
him little uncertain at Third base,
