BuN-Necked Spaniard
Keeps Boring in Until
He OUercon1es Knute

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, N Y
Feb. 25 H9-The bull-necked, squa
figure of Pauline Uzcudun leaped into
the heavyweight spotlight tonigh
when the Spanish woodchopper slash
ed his way to a 10-round victory ovel
the willowly Dane, Knute Hansen OF
Wisconsin. Baffled and stung in his
rushes by Hansen's clever defense ant
sharp left jab in the first half of the
battle, Pauline staged a smashing raj
ly in the last five round to offset the
Danes early lead and carry off the
unanimous decision of the judges and
referee. The courage and aggressive
ness of the t1lick-set Spaniard accom-
panied by an unceasing -fisted
rushing attack, wore down Hansens
defense in a bruising, exciting contest
that kept the crowd of $4,000 in Mad
ison Square Garden in constant uproar
1t wasn't an overwhelming victory
for Pauline, but it was decisive enough
to put the Spaniard in the ranks of
heavyweight contenders and establish
him, in his New York debut, as the
most colorful aspirant who has sought
the title since Luis Angel Firpo.
Pauline revealed himself as a crude
boxer but also as a tremendously
strong, willing and rushing slugger,
able to absorb punishment, without
giving ground. His picturesque hob
bing and swing style quickly caught
the fancy of the crowd. He was cheer
cd to the echo as he fought his way
steadily to victory in the last five
rounds and responded to the cheers at
the finish by doing a back somersauIt
in the center of the ring.
Through the first half of the fight,
Pauline was mark for Hansen's stiff
left and right jabs, which quickly
opened cuts over both of the Spaniard's S
eyes and balked most of his rushes.
The woodchopper, undaunted, kept bor-
ing back, and finally broke through
Hansens defense she'll A smashing
right uppercut to the chin rocked Han
sen in the eighth round. Pauline fol-
lowed UP his advantage and had the
Dane in distress along the ropes, but
Knute weathered the storm with the
help of the bell In the last two
rounds, Pauline hammered and mauled
Hansen With a steady attack but the
Danes defense saved him while at 9TH
er times he shot home stiff jabs that
brought the Basque up short. Han
sens advantages in height weight and
reach helped him stave off Paulinos
onslaughts.. The Dane tied Pauline UP
repeatedly in the clinches, proving
himself much the better boxer. He

Owners of machines are gradually getting out of the habit, once quite common, of picking up wayfarers. When one does he accepts respon- sibility for the safety of the passen- ger and there have been few incl dents where the person treated to a ride was injured in an accident, suing the autoist for his kindness. Very occasionally the chance com- panion in the 'old bus" has happen ed to be a hold-up artist who has taken advantage of the first lonely spot to relieve the driver of his valuables. In addition, the number Of appeals for a ride have become so great that the man in the ma chine turns them down in disgust.
 Lacking a law which will keep the beggars off the highways, the next alternative is for the driver to keep up the good work Of refusing transportation to any and all con- CTS.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

Two automobile accidents in one day in which persons were injured within the rather restricted confines or the city and nearby highways again bring to the fore the need of drivers exercising the greatest pains In operating their cars.
 In one accident yesterday a youngster was killed when he ran from behind one car into the path way of another a common cause of trouble. Another, more spectacular but less serious affair, which might have had more painful consequences because of the number Of people in- volved came about when driver was chasing newly married couple in another car. He overturned and injured several, luckily not seriously.
 We feel obliged to admit that the death of the boy may not have come about through the carelessness of the operator of the automobile. The court will pass upon his case. Often 1t is that youngsters have run out In front of the cars of every driver from behind some nearby obstruc- ton. Most of us have been startled by the sudden appearance of a child in the roadway and we have won dered how it is that our brakes have held or we have missed the offender.
 Many of us, also, have chased a bride and groom in their attempt to escape after the ceremony, some times very carelessly. But there is far Rss excuse for this than for an accident of the other kind.
 In one case the exercise of due caution would certainly have avoided an accident, in another 1t might have. It behooyes all of us to eypoCt the unexpected every moment we are sitting behind an auto steering wheel and be thoroughly prepared to meet 1t. The other fellow is very often 10 blame but that does not save lives or return those lost.

INSJRJ CTIVE ADVERTISING

This is the age of advertising and II ls Interesting to notice the form that so many advertisements take. Numherless ones are more or less of au educational nature. Probably tho hest known one has cost q well known tire company millions of dol lars. but II gives the visitor 10 all most every town and city in the country a brief historical lesson on the town in question: Reading these ads certainly is instructive. Other ads in papers and magazines purport 10 give the public the proper instructions in good manners, his tory. art, mechanics, music and varied other things, while some go 10 even greater lengths and still others become absolutely personal in advice and instruction.
 Forceful pictures and words in struct the unfortunate individual with bad breath. Others inform of the dangers resulting from dandruff while the diffident young man or

woman gets instructions as to how to become the life of the party. Then too, one may get some idea how nice it is to know some for eign language-if for no other req son than to surprise the others at the party when one gives the French waiter the dinner order in the most approved Parisian language. There are ads that advise us to watch our teetA- to beware of the sore throat, that unfailing sign of an approach ing cold All of these ads of course benefit the advertiser but also they benefit the reader by pointing to physical defects which may be i'm proved.
 Still another type Of common ad is purely of the informative nature and these seem 10 be the most un- selfish of all. It gives us short, snappy biographies of world famous personages, or brief passages of the sayings of famous men.
 Advertising today has reached the state where an individual by care ful reading cannot but derive some real benefit both mentally and phy- sically.

C1RCIMSTANTIiL EVIDENCE

Earlier in the week the news papers carried a story about the brutal killing of a little girl in New York. The stories, given out by the police, even accused a particular man of the crime. Everything point ed to 1t. This man was known 10 bear an intense hatred to the dead girls family. The night before the tragedy he was known 10 have visit cd the house and made a threaten ing scene. being driven away only by show of force. He was known 10 have owned a shotgun and the child was killed with such a weapon. His vows of vengeance but forged another link in the chain and he was arrested. accused of murder and held for hearing.
 Then, the next day, along comes a ten year old boy, a relative, who ad- mltted that it was he who accident ally killed the child when he knock ed over a shotgun standing against the wall.
 In this case things seem to be working cut all right for the man so unjustly accused. But what if the boy had kept silent? How about the many other cases where men go to the gallows or to long prison terms on purely circumstantial evidence? Had not this little child told his story there IS little doubt but the accused man would have been convicted. Othere cases where some adult may have committed q. crime for which another has been arrested and re- malned silent are easy 10 imagine.

THE GENTRY OF THE, PLEADING THCMB

While this paper, and many others, has from time to time railed against the practise of many people, far too many. in attempting to beg rides from passing automobilists at the risk of their own lives and the discontinue, to say the least, of the drivers Of cars the number of solici- tors has been growing to an alarm ing extent. Most of them are boys or high school age and younger, oc- casionally an adult or a young wom an may be found in the line that stands at the curbside with an anxious thumb jerking in the direc- tion which they wish to travel
 Probably the majority Of ride heggars are students Of either the high school or next lower grades. they appear 10 be Of about the right age 10 be attending the mentioned grades, and there was an immediate appreciation ill the volume after school opened this fall.
 An autoist, traveling upon any route that leads through for some distance or 10 another town, has reason to be bothered considerably by these beggars of the road. Some of them become so bold that they even walk into the middle of the street causing a driver 10 stop or twist his wheel quickly to avoid hitting them. Then the request for a ride comes. sometimes politely, more often not and even followed by in- suits when the autoist refuses. There is no law. as far as we know that can curb the practise Of "bumming" rides, but there should be. the prac- tise is too common.
