reused from their intense lethargy
by the decision. They thought
Delaney had won and for some
reason, deemed it worth their while
to say as much in loud, firm tones.
Personally, disagree violently with
that pullman waiter.
The "eIiminator" was not mislaid.
It was in there working so perfect
~ that 1t was obvious to the $4,000
odd and assorted mugs just why
Mr.. Richard as seldom at loss for
a word as for dollar, called this
an elimination tournament. He,
Mr.. Richard, and it, the tourna--
n1ent, eliminated not one man but
both last night.
Meanwhile, brother Tunney is
summing himself i'm Miami wait
ing for an opponent for his
June fight. Brother Tunney is
u patient man and all that but
it In hardly credible that today
he seriously considers either
Heeney or Delaney rs other
than q bright, young man with
perfect table manners and
nice kind face.
Eleven days hence, they will hold
another OF these disqualifying
rounds between Jack Sharkey and
Johnny Risko, but no one looks
forward to this with glee or antici-
patton. 1t just doesn't seem to be
in the deck for one of these things
to develop anything except a pain
in the neck.
Sharkey and Heeney met early in
January and were terrible. Pauline
and Godfrey fought. or did some
thing. in Los Angeles a few nights
ago and were awful. Delaney and
Heeney had it out last night and
were terrible or awful or both.
Heeney tried all the way,
fact that probably earned him
the duke" He had nearly 20
pounds In weight on his man
and wanted to see Just what he
could do with 1t. But Delaney
would have no part Of this,
holding 80 desperately i'm close
that Heeney pulled him all over
the ring In his rage to break
loose.
Delaney's holding however. simply
served TO make bad hight look
worse. ANY good heavyweight
could make the fragile Delaney fold
up before the end of Is rounds. Tile
same good man could pop Hceney
silly with a fast left. Unfortunately.
the last good man seen around
these parts happens to be the best
there is. namely, Brother TGLhev.
A total of $174,444 was in the
house last night and the paid ad.
missions numbered 5000, the last
nine being the smart mugs. They
came late and left early.
The boys who buy them and sell
them-at a slight advanLc--were
thrown for a loss behind their own
goal line.
Sell you a ringside seat" they
said. unfortunately. at the Garden
approaches. Sell it cheap" they
added, as though that settled 1t.
All the writer can say is that
the only cheap seat last night
was held by a man who sat on
bench In Central Park and
watched the swans prattle angri.

cred around the tabled potenry of
Delaney's right hand. 1t didn't
seem to even irritate Heeny last
night But then, why go into
particulars. The entire occas sion
was of extremely doubtful value
to any one, even the winner. AS
to him, l am not at all certain
that he won but, as intimated, we
might as well forget the matter
and turn our attention to some
thing important.
That naturally has me stopped
in any attempt to go into details
about the occasion. However, we
might consider, for lack OF some
thing better to do, Delaneys left
hook that staggered Heeney in the
first round and another that stung
Thomas at the start Of the third.
Also Heeney's surging attack
that nailed Delaney at the out
set of each of the fourth, fifth,
seventh, eighth and ninth
rounds
This was ALI that really happened
in these rounds so Heeney must
be credited with having taken the
play away from Delaney after the
latter had piled up an early lead.
Among the incidental details also
was Henney's right cross to the
beard in the twelfth, which went
TO the poor but honest prizefiehter
But, at that, Delaney, who looked
like a bad bet in midfight and
pantomimed a foul in the tenth
when Heeney hit him low, came
on later to Outscore the man who
was supposed to wear him down at
the end. Delaney 1eft-handed his
way through the eleventh and
seemed to have well the better of
the thirteenth and fourteenth but
Henney came along to take the
final round and 1 suppose that gave
J him the fight.

Chinorian First to
Put Out Dictionary

The first extended dictionary Of the
English language was published In
1855, representing the monumental la
Dor of Samuel Johnson, who died De-
cember II, 1884.
Doctor Johnsons dictionary, which
occupied many years of his life, was
the most remarkable work of its kind
ever produced by a single person.
Noah Websters American dictionary
was first published in 1928, and Wcr-
cester's English dictionary appeared
in 1860
The first dictionary compiler was
Pa-Out-She, "a scholarly gentleman of
Cathay, who flourished about 1000
B. G. He perfected a standard die
tionary of the Chinese language, the
same containing about 10000 charae-
tiers.
One julius Pollux compiled a Greek
dictionary about A. d. 1T, and pre-

polyglot dictionary in eight languages
was compiled about 1900 by Calepini,

Concerning LoUe and
Things of That Kind

Most of the troubles men suffer
from consist in being loved too well
by the wrong woman and not being
loved well enough by the right one"
"'The man who makes a good lover
is the man who loves women first and
woman afterwards Every woman
should learn this vital fact and never
forget it. From the general to
the particular is the rule in love. To
know how to love one woman you
must love all women, or the idea of
woman, which is the same thing"
"If you want to lose your wife
there's two ways to do it. One way
is to take her where there's nothing
to spend money on, no matter whether
it's in the United States of America
or in some hick town in Patagonia.
And the other way is to take her
somewhere where things are better
than she's used to, and where she'll
get ideas in her head. Before YOU
know where you are she's too good
for her own country or her own town.
and you can't get her home again.
If you want to keep your wife, keep
her where you found her and make
out that she's better than her neigh
bors. From Now East, Now West"

Father of Medicine"
Was Well Grounded

HippOcrates gets his name carved
on the friezes of libraries as the ia
Their of medicine. but probably few
who see it there realize the great ex-
tent of his knowledge of that science
or the cycle that the practice of med.
icine has Travelled in the 2,302 years
since the famous Greek died.
His general ideas are those held by
the most advanced medical men to-
day. He placed a strong reliance on
the recuperative powers of the body
to eliminate or overcome disorders
even of the serious kind if aided by
proper regimen and improved environ
ment. With this was coupled an
equally strong Discrimination to inter
fere with the normal functions of
the organism by the administration of
drugs.
Thus, his prescriptions often or
dered merely change of climate, or
an altered Or limited diet, or the Sc
curing of conditions that would pro-
vide absolute quiet and long hours of
sleep. Frequent bathing of the entire
body, sometimes in cold. and at others
in warm or hot water. was also a
lavorite method adopted 1t is held
probable that this sensible system
brought him the high reputation ac-
corded him by contemporaries
