Four bouts Of the five-bout boxing

The card was arranged by the An
erican Legion as part OF the enter
tainment for the delegates here for
the South Texas Chamber Of Com

Despite the early termination Of
the battles, and the apparent one
~sidedness Of some OF them, not q
single drop Of blood was shed and not

In the main 20 Of the entertain
ment, a scheduled 10-round affair
betyyeen Jack Burns, local slugger,
anE Bomar Moore, Amarillo hopeful,
early turned into a fancy-diving con-
test. Mr.. Moore was the winner Of
this, going down oftener and staying
down longer, but Mr.. Burns was de-
clared winner Of the fight.
The affair lasted just a little bit
longer than two rounds. Both were
on the floor in the first, and the
Amarillo laugh-provoker, was down a
lot In the second. The bell saved
him in this session, and an over
hand right, flush on his bald spot.

Moore 10.

Time afer time both threw caution
and science to the winds and slugged

water proved an excellent comedian,
but no match for Kid Goodman, local
15O-pounder. Mr.. Foy sank beneath
the resin wave in the third round.
They were scheduled 70 20 eight
frames.
Mr.. Foy introduced an orthodox
style Of fighting that was nothing
short Of amusing. He weaved. bowed
and waved both hands in a saluting
motion continually. Mr.. Goodman

Memories Of the days Of great adventure when the
rattle Of machine guns and the sharp explosion Of
shells blasted the fields Of France will be recalled to-
day - the nation celebrates the ninth anniversary OF
the signing Of the armistire and the victory OF the Al
lies.
In practically all cities. towns and even rural ham,
lest Of the allied nations the day is being celebrated.
II marks the close Of the greatest war the world has
ever known; the victory Of democracy over the mil
itaristic ambitions Of a power-mad emperor supported
BY a people who now are fully cognizant Of the injustice
he desired. to impose upon the world.
November IL has become a day set apart In the
history Of the world since that morning nine years ago
when the guns became silent and the joyful news was
flashed to a suffering world that the disastrous con-
flict had geen terminated. Many speakers will today
take world peace" as their text, citing the horrors Of
the world conflict to sustain their contention that il is
folly to attempt to continue international relations along
lines which resulted IN four years Of strife and hides
cribable suffering. A number Of other celebrations will
stress the lighter side Of war and will feature the mar
tial music and the marching songs of the allies, music
which recalls to millions of the war-worn veterans the
weary hours as they marched TO the front to make the
supreme sacrifice, If necessary, for the cause Of
democracy and world liberty.
With each passing year Arnistice Day becomes a
day Of great Significance to the people of the allied ma
tions. Each year it serves to bring back the memories
Of war ard emphasize the joys Of peace. II recalls the
days Of strife. when mothers eagerly waited for news
from the battle front, waited with prayers on their
lips that their loved ones would not be among those
whose lives were to be sacrificed for the cause.
Throughout the United States the American Lee
Tion has made Armistire Day a day o. special observ-
ance. TO them the day is replete with memories Of the
battle front and the final tidings that the allied arms
had achieved the victory. Il was to them the signal
that they would once more return TO their homeland.

The World and All
IN NEW YORK
BY Charles P. Driseoll

A drydock for ship modeIs is maintained By Mont.
fort Amory at his home, in West Sixteenth street.
Night after night. when his days work - an artist
in pen and ink Is done, Amory tolls 10 the repairing
Of the valuable ship models that are sent to him for
expert attention. Each year the artist takes three
months away from his regular art work to devote al
together to this curious speciality. So far as ! know. he
Is TIE only independent operator III his field.
Amory has designed and manufactured many Of the
tools he uses in his ship model repair work. He has a
workshop that is strewn and stored with odd-shaped
cutting tools, spars, masts, ~riggings and all manner Of
gadgets.
Among the patrons Of this unique shipyard are some
Of the w~eaIthiest collectors in New York. Amory has
repaired and restored several ancient ship models that
are valued at enough to purchase a handsome home in
the country.
Amory tells me that the age Of most antique ship
models IS quite generally overestimated. Like the
age Of most antique Oriental rugs, that way. Most
ship models touted as the work of fifteenth century
artisans were really made late in the seventeenth cen
tury, Or in the eighteenth century. he says.
Another story I have often heard il that the bone
ship models were made BY prisoners out Of beef bones
from their Iuncheons. Amory spoils this story for me.
Maybe a ship model was made that way by a prisoner
one time, he says. but the possibility Of many such
having been made is a remote one. indeed. Bone ship
models were made in the shops Of Woodworking crafts
men, who selected the bones for theri work most care
fully. And who ever heard Of a prisoner having beef
stew for his meals. with large joints of roast thrown
in occasionally, anyhow?
The fad for ship models In the home has lost its
hectic character. and the newly rich no longer rush to
buy the models in quantity for decorating the new
house. But there is a steady demand for ship models.
both antique and modern, and it has settled down 10 a
stable trade.
