Indeed Tunney may not even bob
up with a million-dollar customer
for next September unless some
candidate now hiding his light under
bushel bursts forth with a deci-
sive victory over one of the cast
in Richards heavyweight stock
company.
Tex, this morning, scanned the
list OF available spring dates at
Madison Square Garden and his
two outdoor arenas for a spot
Where he can edge in Heeney and
Risko for the purpose of developing
June contender. He admits the
outlook is none too good, but hopes
to stage the bout in the garden
early in May.
Neither Heeney nor Risko are
keen for showdown. The
former argues that he took a
10-round decision from the
Clevelander last November In
Detroit.
Furthermore, the barrel-chested
New Zealander points out that his
New York challenge, filed a week
ago, takes precedence over Sharkey's
by virtue of the fact that Sharkey
was eliminated last night by a
man who was beaten by Heeney.
Last nights affair was a disap-
pointment from all angles except
that OF the Risko supporters who
took the short end of the betting
at prices ranging from to II to
l to 3, and cleaned up.
Sharkey found the Cleveland
baker boy a rough customer at
close quarters and after carrying
five of the first six rounds begged
down and muddled through until
the closing period.
The writer's score gave Shar-
key six clear rounds and Risko
four. Five could have been
called either way.
The shrinkage of gate receipts
reflected lack of interest proba bly,
due to the recent artistic flop
of the Heeney-Delaney engagement
which cost old John @. Public
something like $4,000.
The cash customers last night
numbered only 1O,94S, and the net
receipts were $1GO,901.
A greatly improved Risko faced
Sharkey this time. The crude
rusher who was cuffed into a comic
valentine by the Bostonlan two
years ago was bigger and stronger
than Sharkey last night and has
learned how to make good fighters
look bad
Risko stuck to his plan OF keep
ing in close. He made Sharkey
hold. Probably that cost Jack the
favors of two of the three officials.
Only yesterday the Boxing Commits
sion delivered an ukase against the
pernicious habit of holding and
Commissioned Muldoon lecture
Sharkey. Risko and twenty other
boxers on this subject.
The decision OF the officials

Risko admitted he was badly
stung two or three times by blows
under the heart. johnny did some
holding, too, but did it in such a
way that his admirers thought
Sharkey was the grabber. The Bos.
ton man was never more than
distressed. There were
no knockdowns.
Sharkey did not cross his right
with full effect until the final
round when he Jared Risko with

SIGNALS use this method to detect
faults which they are unable to
identify. They know something
is wrong, but they do not know
what it is, so they employ this
process of elimination to dis
cover the trouble. They go on
the theory that to find out

them all separately, instead of
trying to look at all of them
at once.

vered by North and South alike, even as that of
the peerless Southern cheftain, Lee.
might have been, it is safe to say that had Lincoln
been permitted to live until the end of his second
term, much of the bitterness engendered during re-
construction days would have been avoided. His
attitude throughout the Civil War was summoned
up in one single phrase of his second inaugural adj
dress: "Whth malice toward none; with charity for
ALL"
Lincoln was opposed to slavery principle,
but his plan was to abolish it gradually, COM
pensate save-owners slaves set free. He
proposed such plan as early 1849 when Con-
gresham, and renewed the proposal as President
in 1862, after the had been in progress nearly
year. Congress passed a resolution offering the
plan, but without result except in the District of
Columbia.
Throughout the war Lincoln's chief aim was to
preserve the Union intact the slavery question be-
ing secondary in his mind, as was evidenced by his
famous reply to Greeley wherein he said:
"My paramount object is to save the Union,
and not either to save destroy slavery If could
save the Union without freeing any slave, would
do it; if could it by freeing all the slaves,
would do it; and, if could do it by freeing some
and leaving others alone, 1 would also do that
Now, after more than IS years, there are few
in any part of the United States who will not concede
that united nation without slavery is best. 1t is
well for America and for the world than on Feb
ruary IL, 1909, such a man as Abraham Lincoln
born.

A NATION WIDE MENACE coNFRONTS
RURAL MERCHANTS

No development of recent years has come SC
close to humanity as whole as has the radio.
Many thousands of dollars spent daily to
bring to millions of people worth while entertain
ment.
1t is not conceivable, that the corporations sup
plying the programs expendtng large sums
merely to entertain the public. Only few weeks
ago automobile manufacturing organization ex-
pended $4,000 for nationwide program fur
nished by artists of national reputation The object
was legitimate, because the purpose to call at
tention to a particular car they had recently put
on the market.
A move is in the making at present which if
permitted by the Radio Commission will be dis
tnct menace to merchants in rural communities
everywhere.
The plan is to sell merchandise directly over
the air from large centers Requests are being
made for folks interested to send in votes by mail
to headquarters asking the Radio Commission to
permit this practice One concern boasts they have
over 10000 names and will soon have 100000.
These names will be presented to the Radio Com
mission evidence that the people want this ser
vice.
Every invention which affects all of humanity
as has the radio has it's advantages as well as its
disadvantages.
