LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1s.-Flash-
ing a desperate and vicious attack
in the final two rounds, Tommy
o 'Brien, local lightweight, won the
referee s favor and took a decision
from Ace Hudkins, Nebraska wild
cat, at the end Of 10 rounds hero last
night.
Going into the NINTH stanza
0 'Brien was far behind his oppon-
ent. From that point on, o Bricn re-
called every trick Of ringcraft he
had ever learned and used it, but
he was too tired to throw his whole
weight into the punches.
Hudkins elected to box O'Brien
and proved a different kind of a
wildcat than in his previous ap-
pearances here. He was not the
wild, slugging Hudkins but stood
off and threw left jabs into
Q 'Brien s face. Hudkins' left was
his most effective hand.
The largest crowd that ever saw
an indoor fight in Southern Califor-
MIA, 1880 persons, did not like the
decision. The fact that Hudkins was
a 10 to s favorite might have had
something to do with this but vet
eran ringsiders and sport scribes
were almost unanimous in calling it
IA bad verdict
Clyde Hudkins, brother manager
of Ace, began hurting challenges at
n L.
ing will satisfy him now but that
his brother have another chance at
o 'Brien. Hudkins claims he was
robbed by the referee s decision.

The University of California,
southern branch, basketball team
was favored today to beat the Whit
tier Poets when the two teams meet
Whittier tomorrow night in the
first of a series that will probably
decide the Southern California con-
ference title.
Although neither aggregation has
been beaten in conference compcti-
tiCn this season, the branch quintet
has met harder competition with
teams outside the conference than
has Whittier. Its record, too, is
more impressive than the Poets.
The second game of the series will
DC played at the Olympic auditor
ium here Saturday night.

protected so he started at once to cut some little paths through this grass. As he cut the grass he ate it. It was very convenient way of getting rid of the grass. Of course, he didn't get very far the first day, but day by day and ni~ht by night flor Da3ny was out whenever he happened to feel like going out--he carried those little paths farther and farther into the marsh.
 The truth of the matter Is, Danny was finding nc]. and strange things and he really begrudged the time tG sleep, Th,re were curios little crea lures called Sand -hoppcrs in that grass, and Danny speedily discov- cred that they were good to eat. If was great fun catching them. They made him think of giant fleas. So while he had plenty of grass he didn't ha,s to live altogether on grass. Then. after he had explored while. he found that there were tiny shellfish on the ground, and that these also were good to eat when they were small enough for his sharp teeth 10 crack them open. Twice every day the water came creeping up over that marsh. Some times it quite covered the grass: other times just Q tops of the grasses were above if, Then. after short time that water would dis appear. Of course, you know that it was the coming and going, or ris- ing and falling as it is called, of the tide. Sometimes after the tide had gone down Danny would find ii had left hehi. it more of these little sherfish. and occasionally very tiny fishes would be stranded in little pools. Then Danny turned fisher man. In short, Danny never had had a greater variety of food than he was finding down there on the marsh.
 When he wanted complete change all he had to do was to 20 up on the high land back of the marsh and there he found seeds and berries and sweet grasses such as he had been used to before he came 10 the seashore. So, take if altogether, Danny liked his new home. He liked il very much. indeed.

In mortified silence I read and re- read the not, from Lucia Meredith to her hrsbanG which Dicky had handed to me, trying 10 comprehend the warning impulses which had clashed in that poor crazed brain just before sha sent herself into eternity.
 Dicky put out his hand and took the note back, folding il with the others of which he had spoken and handing them all over to me.

Danny Meadow Mouse was very much pleased with his new home al the seashore. Not very far away Jimmy Skunk-not the one he used to know back at Farmer Browns, but another one-Was living under a bathhonse. Already Danny had heard a Fox shifting at the entrance to his new home in an old log on the edge of the marsh. That sniff was all that Danny needed to make him feel really at home.
 If only Manly were here it would be perfect" said Danny in that fun ny. sqUeaky little voice of his. For just minute he felt q little bit lonely. Then in the excitement of going exploring he forgot all abont Nanny. He first made q little pas sage for himself underneath the dry seaweed along the old log where he was making his home. IL was just big enough for him to run along. Then he cut a little path down to the edge Of the marsh. All along the edge of the marsh were masses of dry scawced which had floated iii there on a high tide and had been stranded. Never had nan- ny found a place where it was SO eas. to keep under cover. He promptly started in 10 make little passages underneath some of these masses of seaweed. They were only short distances apart all along the edge re the great marsh, so that in running from one 10 another of these patches Of seaweed Danny had to expose himself only for mo- ment,
 Finally Danny yentured out 10 sec what the marsh was like. Ii was very like the Green Meadows back home in appearance, for ii was GOV cred with grass. However, when Danny tasted that grass he found il was a different kind Of grass from that he was used 10. There was no clover there. II tasted just wee bit salt He rather liked it.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 I,,L.I;, IJ..1+t c,--E

Public Health Service
 Diphtheria is another diseases, the ravages of which have been greatly reduced during the last quarter of a century as a glance at the accom- panying chart will show.
 These results are undoubtedly due, in very great measure, to more carefu! and mo e accurate diagnos- tic methods; to early treatment with anti-toXin; better isolation of cases, and, lately, to immunization by the use Of a mixture of toXin-antitoxin.
 Diphtheria is disease more espe- icially of temperate climates It may occur at any season of the year, but is most common In the winter months. However, an epidemic once started may run it's course unin- fluenced by season, and measures 10 combat the disease should be prose- cutod as vigorously in July as in December.
 Among the most important facts Ito be remembered about diphtheria arc the following:
 Tt Is highly contagious.
 2-Early diagnosis and early treatment with anti-toxin are of the utmost importance in saving life once q disease is contracted.
 3-The schick test performed by your doctor or by your health de- pertinent will show whether your .child is susceptible to the disease.
 4-The administration of toxin anti-toXin to the susceptible child will render him immune, usually for tho rest Of his life.
 It takes from six weeks to three months after the administration of anti-toxin before the child becomes immune. Do not wait until diph theria appears in your community or your school before having this done.
 The death rate from diphtheria is still much too high. A case of diph- theria should be rare occurrence if the cooperation Of all parents could be secured in having their children vaccinated.
