Speaking of Sports

Leo LarrivIer wiped all doubt away from the fact of his superiority Ill last nights bout with Billy Taylor. The Waterbury boy won every round by wide margin. To those who did not attend the best description of how Larrivier fought can best be given by a remark by hts manager before the tournament started.
 Asged how Leo viewed his chances for the night, the manager said, Leo is going in there tonight to beat Taylor badly or take bad trimming himself" That's just the way he fought and Taylor was un- able to keep up with him.
 The tournament last night brought cut one thing that Referee Joe Wirtz will not tolerate. That is, having two fighters come into the ring to fake bout.
 Vic Carlson of Terryville and Bar ney Fox of Windsor Locks were the two culprits. We conceded Carlson more brains than he showed in put night. Referee Wirtz threw both of the boys out of the ring before the first round was finished.
 Why fighter of promise like Carlson could go into the ring and attempt so amateurishly to fool the fans. Is a mystery. True it Is that in his next appearance in this city or in Hartford. he is due to get deal of razzing from those who saw last nights farce.
 In the dressing room after the bout, Billy Taylor congratulated Leo Larrivier and then asked for a re- turn match. Taylor stated that after he had received the decision in the first fight, he had readily con- scented to meet Larrivier again and he thought on the showing he made last night that he should get an- other opportunity to meet the Wa terbury boy.
 Leo immediately stated that he would be glad to accommodate the Hartford boy at any time. The of- flcials of the Mohawk A. C. learning this plan is to have them feature the next card to be run i'll two weeks time.
 The match will have to be fought then if ever because the date will be just before the state title matches and following these will come the national title tournament in Boston.
 The exhibition put up in their two fights between the two boys certainly repaid the fans for their attendance no matter how they stood on the decisions. Fans who follow profes- sional fights seldom see as much ac- ton as was packed into the six rounds already furnished by the two boys. If the match is put through again for the third time two weeks from last night, we feel pretty sure that the same number will watch the strap.

TEXAS MAN is ELECTED

the even tenor of South Texans lives or

devoted his entire time to his boy.

The letter was short, just note
in fact. 1t stated that the writer
was in town for day or SO and
asked her to call.
There was a peremptory tone in
it that brought a little frown tc
Virginia'S brow. 1t was signed
Jean Cutter" with flourish and
no closing courtesy.
Virginia folded it up half resent
fully, inclined to ignore the request
But the fact that it was from Oil
verS wife caused her to reconsider
and decide to think it over.
She owed Oliver too much to dis
regard Jeanies invitation even
though it we're couched more in the
words of a command.
She had a busy day before her
and forgot all about the note until
that afternoon.
The burden Of making personal
replies to the ever-increaSing num-
Der of inquiries that came to her
had become SO heavy she had set
herself to making up a set of books
lets to answer the questions most
often asked.
These would more than cut her
letters in half, and naturally she
was eager 10 complete her copy and
get it off to the printer.
She was now on her fifth pamph-
let in which were discussed ward
robes suitable for wear aboard ship,
and she determinedly typed away
with two fingers until she reached
the end.
Then she called the Cutters
apartment and asked for Mrs. Cut
ter. She was certain she heard
Jeanie'S voice speaking to the maid
who answered, but the girl asked
her if she would give her message
as Mrs. Cutter could not at the mo-
ment used the telephone.
ASK her if she will be in at five
thirty" Virginia said. vaguely ir-
ritated.
Mrs Cutter returned word that
she would, and Virginia prepared
to close her desk and leave promptly
at five.
She wished to avoid the over
crowding in the subway if possible,
and since there were many thou
sands of office workers in the district
who shared the same desire, there
was not second to be lost in the
mad rush after the minute hand
pointed at that hour.
Many there we're, Virginia knew
who "beat the clock" but she was,
If not too conscientious to follow
their example, at least too grateful
for having work that she liked to
think of taking advantage of her
employers.
1t was little later than $50
when she was admitted TO Jeanie's
attractive drawing room with the
plain blue velvet rugs and rose pat
termed draperies of black silk.
She stood a moment uncertainty
as her hostess made no move to rise
from a love seat where she repoSed
with her legs curled under her and
pulled on a cigaret in an ivory
holder a foot long.
For a moment of tense silence
she surveyed Virginia as though her
caller were a stranger whom she
wanted to be rude to.
Then she waved the long cigaret

II think you'd better give me
whatever money 1 have and let me

undercurrent of finality in her
voice that convinced Oliver he
would no longer act as her broker.
He looked at her with a queer
expression that held a touch OF
CONSERVATION which his voice, how
ever, did not reflect when he said,

ready for you tomorrow"
