mo BIG TITLE MILL
IF SHARKEY FLOPS
World Battle Would Move to
London, With Camera
Facing Phil.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

n K IAMI, Fla, February 10.-
M If Phil Scott gets the nod
wv in his joust here with
4 = Jack Sharkey the plans Of
the garden corporation for a
championship fight in June be-
tween Max Schmeling and the
Miami winner will be wrecked.
If Scott wins he will go home and
box Primo Camera in the Wemb-
lev Stadium, London, in a bout
that will be accepted on the other
side as a heavyweight champion
ship affair.
jeff Dixon, who holds q position
among promoters across the Atlantic
comparable to the late Tex Richards
status in this country, has everything
set for a Scott Camera fracas in Au-
gust and will make terms with the
fighters on the basis of a million dollar
gate. All Scott must do to make the
program stand up is to whip Sharkey
That is no trivial task.
The Sharkey-Scott contest, we are
reliably informed, is universally re-
rarded in England and Europe as a bat
tie for the world title In fact, many
boxing bodies were ready to declare
Scott champion of the world without
him SO much as bothering to meet
Sharkey.
Scott is by no means a popular idol
on the other side, but at least he Is not
an American, which means that the
mob over there is with him to the last
man.
Don't Figure SchmeIing.
European critics and fans do not fig-

all. To them he is still the fellow who
was fiattened by Gypsie Daniels and q
few other palookas.
In the event Of a Scott victory
Schmeling would be completely out OF
the picture for long time. Camera
would get first chance at Scott because
he Is a big card over there and also
because Dixon happens to have q 10 per
cent slice Of the Behemoth.
Schmeling is popularity supposed to be
the most "pieced" fighter in the game
But it develops that this doubtful dis
tinction really belongs to Camera.
After the various cuts are taken out
Of Cameras earnings he has only 271z
per cent of the net left for himself
This is how he is pieced: Leon See, is
per cent: Paul Journey, 1914; JEFF
Dixon, 10; Bill Duffy and an American
associate, 20; Walter Friedman, 10, and
European matchmaker we Will not
name, S per cent. Possibly the thought
that there is 50 little left for him after
the piece men get theirs is what makes
the Italian giant so ferocious. How
ever, some of the boys have trouble
collecting their pieces. Dixon, for In
stance, has filed an action against See
for his bit of the American melons
plucked by Camera.
Scott also has been cut up as neatly
as a Florida subdivision. Some fellows
who did things for Philip years ago still
are eligible to share in his earnings
Whether they can collect is something
else again.

RUTH AND THREE MORE
NOT SIGNED BY YANKEES

Yankees, admits that four players have
yet to sign contracts. but promises that
all but one Of them will have come

He declined to descend to person

He had wondered more than once
If there could be anything In the talk
that connected her name with Con-
verse. Surely not, for If she had been
such a woman he could have offered
her more than these other two. And
she had not been tempted by his OBJ
yious preference.
She had her moments of panic.
What was she about to do? The step
was q tremendous one If ways and
means were to be considered.
There was money to be thought of,
but Linda was in that exalted state
when poverty is hung with the sparkle
of day dreams. She began to be ambi-
tious. Her mind. clear and alert,
sprang to meet the future and searched
excitedly among its possibilities. She
knew every one. The Haverhill con-
nectiop reach far. AS Linda Roth
in her self-chosen isolation they had
avoided her with that icy acknowl-
edgment of her existence more cutting
than actual exclusion. But she knew
very well that as Brian Anstey's wife
their influence would belong to her.
They did not know Brian; his name
meant nothing, but it stood for all
that such people hold dear-respect-
ability, solidity. They would make
him.
Then she remembered how much he
had resented influence. He had hated
to know that his appointment came
through Simon Fentress because he
sensed through it the power Of wealth.
But she dismissed this thought quick
ly. Brian was not worldly and she
loved him for that. She loved his
ideals with the indulgence of one who
knows that most ideals are made OF
papier mache.
No one suspected her secret but
Simon Fentress. That small dry per-
son sighed when he saw her so beau.
tiful, so eager; shy as his own girl
was shy. He wondered why things
had to be that way. Brian had made
this woman love him without lifting
his finger. and another man would
have done far better for her.
But he knew better than to hint
this to his protege. Brian had ac'
copied aid with rather bad grace from
the first, and of them all he was the
only one who did not suspect the real
reason for the Fentress interest. But
Daisy was as good loser as her
father; not by one word did she be-
tray the blank sense Of loss that
spoiled her young world.
perhaps something will happen
yet" her father thought, watching her
face and watching Linda's, not know
ing which to pity most.

First Washing Machine
Got Inventor Gin Bad"

Therill 3. Raisin Of Glory, Maryland,
who is credited by Country Home with
being the first man to experiment with
washing machine, occupies no place
in the ranks of men who emancipated
women and lightened their burdens.
Entirely to the contrary, such was the
womanly scorn that Therill aroused in
his sister Emily by his interference
with the sacred Monday morning wash
tub rites, that at the age Of sixty he
had to leave his home forever under
the suspicion of being not quite men

The would-be inventor, says the ar
ticle, had such an aversion to work
that he hated to see others toiling, and
wash day brought him particularly
keen pangs. Mr.. Raisin took a dis
carded butter churn, filled it with wa
ter, soap and several pairs of overalls
and induced colored man named Ben
jamin to operate it.
The idea was superb, the execution
all wrong. The overalls and churr
were wreckage in no time at all and
there was such furore about it that

Finest Parchment Made
in Small English Town

there fourishes a band of men en-
gagged in making the finest parchment

One of the partners In the firm Is a

long process, and water plays great
part. AT Havant there is spring Of

CHAPTER x
81 Am Linda Roth"

Happiness! Linda before her mir
ror dressing for dance, saw strange
face looking back at her. 1t had been
years since she had seen that face,
those eyes. that smile. The child.
Linda Haverhill, had owned them all.
1t is not given to many women to step
back into girlhood with all it's fragrant
hope and JOY, but in a single hour
these had been given back to her.
Tonight he would ask her to marry
him; tonight she would say yes. There
had been no promises and no appoint
ment, but she did not need this to
know what would happen. 1t was
coming as inevitably as the hours.
Nothing could hold it back; no sub.
terfuge; no hesitation.
She wore a long white frock gilt
tering with crystals that chung to her
slender limbs like frost wreathing lily
stems. Her delicate long arms emerged
from all this whiteness and sparkle
like the sleepy stamens Of flower.
Her face behind all it's beauty and
still happiness asked for something
more. Without knowing it, her eyes
asked that this happiness should last
Not long before hotel maid had
fastened her frock and done those
little tasks for her that must be done
and mad then been sent away. This
was precious hour.
She leaned between the candelabra

lips were too pale? She touched them
lightly with rouge and then saw that
this accentuated the pallor OF her
cheeks.

Why Is Two-Dollar
Bill Known as Jinx?

The fact that the corners of the
new two-dollar bill are being torn
off to avert bad luck apparently just
as often as was the case with the
old two-dollar bill sets the New York
World to wondering what could have
been the origin Of this belief in the
two-dollar bills bad luck:
"For a long time we accepted the
common explanation that a two-dol-
lar bill is so easily mistaken for a
one-dollar bill that it may be paid
out as such, but after careful exam
ination of the various bills we con-
clude that this explanation Is little
weak.

that a two-dollar bill does bear some
resemblance to a one-dollar bill, but

Prevalence of Goitre

Goitre prevails more or less in all
parts of the world, and among all
peoples. 1t is worst in Switzerland,
where almost 100 per cent of the in
habitants are affected. Formerly their
affliction was attributed to drinking
water from melted SHOWS, but now it
is known to be due to lack Of iodine.
Swiss families that can afford the
expense spend some weeks annually
at the seashore for a cure.

no more than is borne by five-dol-
lar bill or ten-dollar bill.
Gall of our smaller bills, in fact,
bear close resemblance to each
other, in color and design; every citi-
zen must long ago have got into the
habit of reading the numbers on the
bills that he spends, and the chance
Of his handing taxi man two dol
lars for one dollar is very remote. It
is one Of those things that is sup
posed to happen but rarely does.

1000, 900 Pickles

An average yearly production Of
about 3,000,000,OOO cucumber pickles
in the United States is some evidence
that the American public is fond of
good pickles, and it is probable that
consumption could be stimulated, the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture says. The annual crop is
grown on about $4,000 acres, yields
about 100000 bushels, and returns
more than 100000 to the growers.
