Is Ninety Years Old

Greencastle, Ind, Feb. 20 W.
Founded by three Methodist circuit
riders, u. now fourth in the list of
highly endowed American schools,
DePauw univo ~sity celebrated its
goth anniversary Feb. %.
Allen Wiley, Calvin Rutter and
James Armstrong, conceived the
school in 1882. but it was five years
later than a two-story building was
put up. bearing the name Of In
diana Asbury Lniversity-a title by
which some old graduates still pre-
fer to know it.
It struggled for 40 years, and
when it seemed destined to close for
| lack of funds, Washington c. De-
Paw of New Albany, Ind, came to
t its rescue With a liberal endowment,
and It took his name. Now more
/ than score of buildings stand on
the campus, and the university's as
sets are more than six million dol
lars. The school is conspicuous for
its Rector scholarship foundation,
whose donor, late attorney of Chi
cago, gave the school more than four
million dollars.

last night, partially destroyed a
large barn in the rear of the pro-

that the fire did only small amount
CT damage. There was considerable
stock in the barn, which was re-
moved. The cause of the fire is IN
known.

CARR GIRL WORKED
AS COOK FOR LARK
Lived Life Of Character in Fa-
yorite Story, She Explains

Buffalo N. Y, Feb. 25 P-Mary
c. Carr, the IS year old society
girl, located in Rochester after
having been missing two weeks
from her home here, is on her way
10 New York today with her
father. DR.. Francis J. Carr. The
latter is taking the girl to the
metropolis to divert her mind and
give her a rest.
Miss Carr has resumed her place
in the normal sphere of life after
having returned from her dream

Il righteous and triumphant vindi-
cation of her self-asserted ability

book which more than any other
factor. motivated her hasty and
hitherto unexplained flight from
Buffalo.
The story she read and re-read
lust before her departure was one
of an unhappy girl who ran away
TO seek relief from the disappoint-
ments of society and earned her
living as a domestic. Miss Carr
followed the example of her hero
inc almost literally, even to becom-
ing o servant in the home of a
Rochester business man. That she
succeeded in the role of cook
was attested by the fact her en-
ployers praised her cooking, es-
pecially her pies, and expressed
regret at her leaving when her
father appeared on the scene to
claim her.
Miss Carr is none the worse for
her experience. Today the whole
affair appears to her as a wonder
full lark. She did not at the time,
she says, give thought to the worry
she was causing her relatives who
We're conducting a wide and fran
tic search for her.
And too, Mary outdid her hero
inc of the story book in earning
capacity. The fiction heroine re-
ceived only 81 a week, whereas
Mary was earning $40.
II am tickled to death that
Mary came to no harm in her lit
tie adventure" DR.. Carr said last
night. Il felt sure that everything
would turn out all right, but it j:

BUFFALO, n. Y, June 22.-The
ponies were stepping high, wide
and handsome yesterday in the first
round of match play over the Buf-
falo Country Club course at the
annual invitation tournament. Per
feet weather prevailed and with
the nerve wracking qualifying
round behind them, all the champ
ons relaxed into easy playing form
and the favorites came through,
winning their matches by wide
margins.
Miss Virginia Van Vie, Chicago
city champion, and low medallst
eliminated FRITZ StefeI, and 3.
Miss Louise Fordyce had a harder
time defeating Miss Bernice Wall,
the match going to the 18th hole.
Miss Fordyce won because she play
ed her irons better than Miss Wall.
Both players were erratic from
the tee but Miss Fordycc managed
to settle down before the end of
the match when she discovered she
was not getting her club head
through fast enough. Miss Wall S
main trouble yesterday seemed to
be looking up on her short shots.
Apparently Miss Edith Quier of
Reading, Pa, has the first nine un-
der her thumb. She sailed around
in another SO and gained little
on the second nine over her quail

BETTING FAV0RS
CANZONERI OVER
VETERAN TAYLOR
BY CLARK B. KELSEY
United Press Staff CorreSpondent)

CHICAGO, June c2.-ThOSc gen
tlcmen who prefer blonde boxers
to brunettes are outnumbered to
) in picking the winner of the Bud
TaylorTony Canzoneri bantam
weight championship bout here
Thursday night.
The black haired New York Ital-
ian challenger was a betting favor
itc over Taylor today and it seems
probable that he will be a 6 to }
favorite when he crawls into the
ring in Cubs park.
Both bantams finished their
strenuous workouts yesterday and
were to confine their activities to
light gymnasium work today. Both
came through their training grind
in fine shape and should enter the
ring in perfect physical condition.
Canzoneri weighed ll9 pounds
Yesterday and his manager, Sammy
Goldman, said he would make the
lls pound weight with ease. He
seemed slightly drawn but his back
crs said it was better for him to get
down to weight early than to sweat
off his poundagc the last day.
Goldman said his boxer was IN
the best shape possible for the
match.
Tavlor is already under lis
pounds, according to Eddie Long,
his pilot. Taylor worked out with
Pal Moore yesterday and was not
bothered by Moore, although he
found it difficult to get to the
jumpy Memphis veteran. Taylor
also boxed Joe Mcdill and battled
furiouslv for three rounds. He was
fast and was hitting hard and look
ed ready to 90.
However, il his last showing here
against Abe Attcll GoIdStcin is a
criterion, Taylor is on the down
grade.

PACKED HOUSE
INDICATED FOR
BORDER BOUTS

CALEXICO, June 22.-Georgie
Rivers, Los Angeles scrapper who
got the surprise of his career two
weeks ago when Tony Valdcrama,
took a draw decision from him, is
coming to the border city tonight
to regain his lost prestige.
Rivers, who fought Fidel La Barba
only few months ago for the
championship in his class, was
lucky to get draw with the clever
Filipino, in the opinion of many
fans. 1t was Valderama s first 10
round fight, and it gave him a
world of confidence. His friends
expect him to enter the Calexico
arena Wednesday in much better
form. The bout is attracting more
attention than any contest held in
Imperial Valley for many months.
Those who saw the battle two
weeks ago will be at the ringside
for certain, and the advance sale
of tickets indicates packed
house
OF scarcely less interest than the
Rivers Valderama bout is the six
round semi-final between Babe
Northern and Ernie Goozeman.
Northern furnished a sensation in
his battle with Kid Mex two weeks
ago. Goozeman, with knockout
over Mex, should take the dark
boy into camp, but it will be a
slugging, slashing affair.
Goozeman also has near cham
pionship record. His battle with
Kid Kaplin for the belt is still re
membered as one of the best
feather-wcight contests ever staged.
The Calexico Legion, in addition
to its fight card, is to present a
kodak at the ringside this week,
the details of this event to be an

ed a knockout over Homer Gaines
of Imperial in the first half of the
main event at Brawlcy last night.
Ortega and Gaines saved what
was otherwise terrible card from
being complete failure, their
scrap alone giving the fans run
for their money.
Ortega was introduced as cham
pion OF Mexico and Central Amer
! lca. 1t was a great chance for
Homer to annex some high sound
ing titles, but the colored boy was
| outclassed from the start, going
down and out in the sixth round.
This Ortega is no "cheese cham
pion.' - He is a fast, can hit hard,
clever on defense and knows how
to lead. He has shift that is
smoother and faster than that in a
Rolls Royce.
Gaines was beaten, but he went
down fighting, with all his guns
singing. Twice the colored lad hit
the canvas for the count of nine,
and he would have been perfectly
justified in taking the full count
Each time he managed to crawl tc
his feet before the fatal "10,' but
the third time it was no bet.
The fans liked Oretega' s style,
and he will be drawing card any
where he performs.
After seeing scrap like that it
was painful to watch the Battling
Johnson jerome O'Connor fuss,

main event. O'Connor wouldn It
fight and Johnson couldn't fight.

out. The fans may think he is aw-

cision.
