 FULFILL HIS CONTRACT
Promoter Eddie Mack Of Boston to Demand Germans AP-
 pcarancc in Hub.

Boston, Feb. 8 R-Armed with the support of the Massachusetts boxing commission, Eddie Mack. boxing promoter at the Boston Gar den, left here today for New York to force Max Schmelling, German heavyweight. to fulfill his contract to meet Con Okelly of Ireland here on February l5.
 Mack was prepared to make a final demand on Schmelling and his advisers to go through with the O'kelly bout and. if refused, intend ed to ask the federal court for an injunction restraining the German from leaving tho country.
 The Boston promoter appeared before the assachusctts boxing commission yesterday and that body declared that his contracts with Schmelling were ironclad.
 Mack said he signed Schmelling to fight in Boston long before the German became an attraction of consequence and he claimed that the boxer and his managers have since become dissatisfied with the 20 per cent guarantee he agreed to give them for the O'kelly bout.
 Before leaving for New York. Mack had . long conference with Col. John Hammond and James |. Brush. directors of the Madison Square Garden corporation. during which he refused their request to cancel Schmelling's contract for the Boston bout.

Another incident of the game last night was the fact that the close ness of the race for scoring honors between Williams and Steve Pierce was wiped out when Williams got I2 goals and Steve Pierce caged four. N Williams was leading him by three goals before last nights game, Williams has an 11-point ad- vantage now.
 Pete Gazzinga is making the road trips with the team this week SO New Britain will face all opposition with its full strength. The locals are in first place and every fan in this city is roofing for the team to vtay there.
 "Kid" Williams has pasted new name on Pete Gazzinga. There seems to be so much difficulty in the referees pronouncing the local cen ter's name that Williams settled on the happy medium of Gas House" Being duely christened GazzinGa will now be known as Gas House Gazzinga. Put that one in the book.

Sir Michael pulled the number

wild swings and more wild ducks
than there is sand in New Mexico.
If he has bit of boxing skill about
his person he failed to drag it out
for the customers last night. The

The opening round gave Casus a

fight. The little bus boy opened up

margin, then went on to take the

KID WILLIAMS
NO MATCH FOR
WILLIE HENRY
COlored Boy Outclasses
Former Local Heavy in
Poor Fight.
(By GOSH)

Had Frank (Ki0 Williams, for
mer FL Centro heavyweight, beer
fighting the combined Chinese anG
Russian armies, he could not have
Jared much worse nor made a more
sorry showing than he did at the
Imperial Valley Athletic club last
night against one Willie Henry OF
Galveston, Texas, colored boy
who ought to get somewhere in the
roped arena.
Something happened to Tony
Stabineau, who was booked to fight
Williams. A lot more happened to
Williams. He had as much license
to be in the ring against Henry as
would little "Sonny Boy Davy
Lee of the movies, fact that was
apparent to ringsiders before the
first round was over.
Williams seconds threw in the
towel after less than two minutes
of fighting, and after Henry had
been pleading with them to do so
for the greater part of two rounds.
The colored boy was hitting Will
liams at will and sought to avoid
Furnishing him needlessly. The towel
was refused and Henry appealed to
referee Cap Stevens, who figured if
Williams seconds could let him
take it he could too. Not until the
crowd yelled for the towel the
greater part of a minute did it
come fluttering in over the ropes.
A short burst of fighting in the
second round was all Williams
showed. In a wild exchange of
blows he caught Henry off balance
and the colored boy went down
laughing and came up the same
way. Henry comes from the same
town that produced Jack johnson.
He had little opportunity to show
his fighting ability last night. His
clean conduct and his efforts to
avoid hitting Williams needlessly
made him many friends here and
if he could be matched with some
one to make him extend himself, the
bout should draw.
Mickey Shea hung another scalp
around the old belt last night, this
time the scalp being that of Ramon
Regaldo, from San Bernardino
Ramon, who apparently is an In
dian, substituted for Vie O'Neil
Vie and Stabineau evidently had
social engagements elsewhere.
The first round of the semi-final
was slow, with Shea and Regaldo
feeling each other out. The latter
had stance like the fighters on the
old time cigarette pictures used tC
adopt. Mickey has no stance at all
but mean wallop.
Ramon Gets It
Things began to speed up in the
second round, and Ramon showed
himself willing to swap punche.

bit of judgment on his part, fO1

'WILLYS-KNICHT
CARS POPULAR
WITH WOMEN

Because Of the great number Of
women driving automobiles, manu-
facturers are considering more than
ever before factors in the design
and construction of their products
that have to do with safety, easy
handling and convenience. This
statement is made by Lee Bros,
Whippet and Willys-Knight dealers.
cone example of this Is seen in
the Whippet Four and Whippet
Six" explained Lee. "These ears
were designed for easy handling and
comfort. There is plenty of room in
the driving compartment and the
seats are set at the right height TO
give clear road vision eyen for
small women. Controls are placed
within easy reach so that the driver
does not have 10 stretch around.
"Finger tip control which is
found in these cars is one of the
greatest driving conveniences that
has appeared since the self starter
was placed on ears. With one but.
ton in the center Of the steering
wheel the driver starts the engine,
sounds the horn and operates the
lights. All this is done without TAX
ing the hand from the wheel or
feet from the pedals. 1t is also a
great safety factor.
''The new and improved steering
apparatus provides easier handling
than in former models. The ears
can now be driven and parked with
a minimum of effort. The second
gear speed has been increased, max
ing it distinct aid in driving
through heavy city traffic. 1t also
allows a very quick pickup and get
away. This gear, coupled with the
increased engine power, allows
steep hills to be taken ~ good
speed and safety. Low gear is sell
dom necessary.

brakes also add to safety and driv

Spectacular in its photography,
"The Flying Fool'' also has a cork
ing fine plot which gives the popu-

excellent opportunity to do some
fine acting.
BOYD is seen as a reckless devil

of airplanes, is younger brother
who is under his wing literally and
figuratively. When the younger

"The Flying Fool" is picture

CAMP EQUIPMENT
NECESSARY FOR
MOTORING JOYS

Autoeamping To-Day is not an ex
pertinent, it is vocational IN
stitution that is here to stay. There
is no other recreation that offers
the same amount of enjoyment, re-
taxation and complete independence
as does auto camping, declares j. \.
Hall, local manager of the Western
Auto Supply Company.
The man who owns his own
equipment is his own boss. He can
come and go as he pleases. stay as
long as he likes, go to bed and get
up when he pleases, eat at his ie!-
sure and travel as the spirit moves
him. In addition to the complete in
dependence that good camping
outfit gives, il offers an economic
means of enjoying the country.
Good equipment will last for years
and will pay for itself in money
saved on hotel and restaurant bills
in a short time.
Success or failure of a camping
trip depends entirely upon the in
dividual. Every trip brings out
something new and teaches the
autoist to disregard the non-esser'
tials that take up room in the car
and to carry only the items neces-
sary to make the trip enjoyable.
Packing Essential
When all of the equipment is col
lected, a systematic plan of pack
ing should be worked out. Every
piece of equipment should have a
certain carrying place either in ol
on the ear, preferably on the cai
as the tonneau should be left free
as possible for the comfort of tho
passengers.
Several years ago, loading rhe
ear with a bulky wall tent, iroT
stove and spring bed did not
present a very pleasant picture and
few autoists went camping. Today
modern camping equipment has sc
changed the picture that not to 20
camping is more of a novelty than
to 90 camping.
Practically every city, town and
village has one or more auto camps
As rule there is municipal
camp that offers the tourist most
Of the comforts of home. In these
camps the Pierce-ArrOw owner
from Maine swaps road Information
and fishing yarns with the Ford
owners from California while max
ing camp for the night. Autocamp-
ing makes all men members of one
great democratic fraternity, sheds
them of conventional veneer ana
unites them as brothers.
