NEW YORK. July 19.-(P)-Tom-
my Loughran was still lruler OF the
light heavyweight brigade today and
James j. Braddock, Jersey City
puncher, had only a boxing lesson
to show for his meteoric climb to
the rank of contender.
Meeting Braddock in a 15-round
titular battle at the Yankee stadium
last night, Loughran piled up points
with a stabbing left hand and won
the decision beyond a question OF
q doubt.
Not once during the struggle
coudd Braddock land %squarely with
his right hand, without which the
Jersey youngster would not have
deserved to be in the same ring
with the champion. With that right
hand Braddock had broken Pete
sLatzo's jaw, knocked out fluffy
Griffith in two rounds and stopped
the Buffalo speedster, Jimmy Slat-
terry, in nine rounds.
Against Loughran, however, Brad
dock could find no use for his most
kpotent weapon. Outspeeded and out
smarted all the way, the Jersey lad
found the champions left always
ready to catch the wild overland
rights that came his way.
Never has Loughran appeared to
better advantage. His educated left
had spent tmoSt of the evening in
Braddock's face. With it he kept
the challenger off balance, thus neu-
tralizing the undoubted power that
Braddock has in his fists.
A crowd of some 25, 900 saw the
scrap with a gate" in the neighbor-
hood of $50,
Loughran weighed TIA pounds;
Braddock ITO.

CHICAGO, July 17.-[P)-If
the Cubs should fail to win that
National league pennant the
Chicago fans probably will at
tribute their i'll luck to the abb
sence of Charles Leo (Gabby)
Hartnett.
Hartnett, rated as the best
catcher in the National league
last ear, hasn't caught a game
this year because of a bad
throwing arm.
While sitting on the bench,
G&oby has been doing his best
to help the Mccarthy club. His
pinch hitting has been very eff
f%ective, having saved several
games.

In memory. the speaker carried

members Of the student body back to
the carly days Of A. and NJ. when
ground cisterns and kerosene lamps
were familiar to the students.
Relating the circumstances that
brought about the establishment

The whole battalion" Judge
Sleeper recalled. under command

times a day to the mess hall for
meals. IN fine, West Point was fol-
lowed as closely as circumstances
would permit. There was an absence
of modern conveniences. No water
works, gas, electricity OF sewer sys-
tenn. The students supplied them
selves with water from two large
underground cisterns. For Satur-
day night baths. they used the or
binary ambulatory wash tub. coal

mitories and common wood stoves
for heat in winter months. Beyond
the fact that kerosene took the place

were shared alike by all such insti-
