''don't call him a jackass!"

BIRDS BECOME
LESS WARY

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 10.-Back
Bay, Va: Chesapeake Bay and Curri-
tuck Sound, N. c.. harbor enough
swans at this time to supply $4,000
families with excellent Christmas
dinners. according to a United States
Department of Agriculture census Of
these birds, who come to Virginia to
spend the winter.
According to information furnished
the Virginia State Chamber of Com
merce, this month brings to a close
a 1e-year period in which absolute
protection has been afforded swans
in this area, where practically all of
the swan population OF Eastern
North America concentrates for
winter quarters, by the United
States Government.
While the survey was unable to
definitely determine whether there
had been an increase or decrease
in the number of these birds, they
established the fact that they are not
as wary OF man as they ,nce were.
Unmoiested for so many years, they
infested shooting ponds on club pre-.
serves and consumed quantities of
wild-duck foods until complaint has
been lodged.
Swans compete for food with
ehoal.water duck, not with deep
water ducks, but so far as observed
they have caused no permanent in
jury to the extensive wild-fowl resorts
they frequent" the survey states.
Close season on these birds will
continue, however, until regulations
are made by the President allowing
an open season for hunting them.

KNOCkOUTS FEATURE
KENILWORTK FIGHTS

Fireworks galore were in order
last night at Heinie Mi.ler's kenll.
worth arena. The large crowd or
fight fans unhesitatingly voted it the
best card yet presented.
During the recent Sesquicentennial
bouts In Philadelphia, one Sammy
Braunstein, a leatherneck, upset all
the available dope by hanging wal
lop on Jimmy Ryans jaw for one
round K o. Ryan, who is light
weight champion of the Atlantic
Fleet, always has claimed 1t was a
lucky punch and begged for chance
to face his conqueror again. The
opportunity came in the main event
last night, and to say that the IRISH
man took complete advantage is put
ting 1t mildly. Remembering the
deadly right of his opponent, Ryan
at first was somewhat cautious, al
though he jabbed his right to the
face almost at Will and counted
with his left TO the body.
Braunstein frequently rushed Ryan
in an attempt to put over his right,
but Ryan was always inside and the
blow slid over his shoulder. In the
fifth round the Navy champ caught
the leatherneck with a smashing
left to the solar plexus-a trif1e high
and ii looked to be all over. The
Marine was dead game and after
taking the count of nine arose and
fought as hard as ever.
In the ninth Braunstein, in wild
desperate swing caught Ryan under
the eye a second or so before the
bell rang. Ryan was hurt and
showed the effects of the blow. The
tenth found both boys leg and arm
weary with Ryan jabbing at Will.
Braunstein was dead game, but
Ryan was too clever and shifty on
his feet. It was Ryan's fight prac-
tically all the way.
Billy Drake, German welterweight.
knocked out Danny Rogers of Phila-
delphia in the third round. Rogers
was substituting for Terrence
O'Moore. billed as the lightweight
champion of Ireland, whom the club
physician would not permit to go
on because of an injured arm. Rogers
elected to swap punches with Drake,
instead of boxing him. Drake. an
inflghter, soon had the Philadelphia
helpless.
While it lasted. the bout between
willing Jack" Cody. Fort Myer, and
frankie Cheslock, Quantico Marine,
was a humdinger. 1t was a question
Of who would put it over first and
the Marine was the man. Cody was
down twice for the count of nine
and was lying on the floor dead to
the world when his seconds tossed
in the towel.
Bud Logan stopped Sailor Oden
after three rounds of fast milling
and Sammy Hogan of the Mohawk
Athletic Club gained the decision
over Jack Skinner in their four
round bout.

For some reason Dempsey arrived
unheralded in Indianapolis yesterday
by automobile while the rest Of his
party, including his wife, travelled
from st. Louis by train. While in
the station there the champion was
served with subpoena directing him
to appear in Superior Court August
Is to show why he should not be re-
strained from fighting until he goes
through with contract he is alleged
to have made with the Chicago
Coliseum Club.
Says 100000 Is Ready.
At the same time B. c. Clements,
Chicago promoter, announced that the
$3O0, 900 due the champion tomorrow
under his alleged agreement to meet
Harry Wills will be forthcoming in
the form of a cashiers check. This
is the first installment of an $500, 900
guarantee, according to Clements, and
may be sent to Dempsey by messen-
ger. At least the check will be placed
on public display.
Both Dempsey and his new mana
ger, Gene Normile, denied the exist
ence of any contract such as that
mentioned in the subpoena served in
Indianapolis and they continued on
their way to New YORK,
The August 13 hearing will have to
do with temporary injunction and
there will be another on September
6, In regard to permanent restraint.
Richard Must Wait.
Tex Richard met rebuff yesterday
in an attempt to gain further point
in the situation when his suggestion
that the limit for tickets to a heavy.
weight championship contest in this
state be raised to $50 was laid aside
by the commission pending decision
by the license committee on the status
Of the boxers. The license board Is
expected to rule next Tuesday.
Richard has had half of his tickets
prfnted--and half" is written ad.
visedly. The hack of the pasteboard
carried photographs of Jack and Gene,
but any indication as to the time and
place for the contest is not to be
found. However, the promoter says
the tickets are the best he ever had
printed for a fight and he will use
them IL he has to stage the match
In q desert.
