New York, July 3.-R-A compli-
Gated financial argument in which
Joe Jacobs and Arthur Buelow appear
to be e~ndeavoring to outwit each 9TH
er, has suddenly terminated plans for
a return bout between Max schmeling
and Jack Sharkey at the Yankee
stadium in September.
Yesterday Madison square garden
had Sharkey'S name on a contract
and had hopes Of getting Screenings
signature through Jacobs. when Bue-
low, the Germans deposed manager,
bobbed up with an eight page docu-
ment that was entirely unsatisfactory
to Jacobs, who now is in charge Of
Makes interests.
When Schmeling first offered to
give the boston sailor a return bout,
he did so with the proviso that he
be given an out and out release from
Buelow, to whom he is under con-
tract until October Is this year.
Sharkey agreed to see that Buelow
got his rs per cent Of the net gate
| receipts, but in his lengthy document,
J Buelow retained the right to sue
I Schmeling for any other remunera-
| ton he thought might be coming.
And upon that clause hangs the
failure of the match to 60 through
as Jacobs said, nothing doing
Schmeling must have a positive re-
lease.
In the office at the Garden await.
ing delivery is q check for 80 1-3 pc,
cent, the managerial cut Of the JUNE
fight between Sharkey and Schmel'
ing. Seven and one-third per cent
Of this amount is due Jacobs under
an old agreement while the remain
der goes to Buelow.
Buelow already has taken lega
steps to recover from schmeling hi
share of the Germans earnings sine
his first fight with Pauline Uzcudul
last July. Since that time Make ha'
appeared in a moving picture ant
made an exhibition tour Of the Unite<

It seems that Buelow Is willing II
waive his right to his cut in all Q
Schmeling's ventures except In hi
June fight with Sharkey. Jacobs !
willing that Buelow get his rs pc
cent cut Of the September fight.
there Is one and which Sharkey vii
pay. but he wants Buelow to forge
about the check being held in trus
by the Garden.

Sioux City Heavyweight Wins
Nine Of Ten Rounds From

Chicago, July 3.-R-Gerald AM
brose Griffith, the aspiring heavy
weight hope from Sioux City. Iowa,
has changed his ring monicker from
Fluffy" back to fluffy"
Fighting for the position he once
held as a heavyweight Of champion
ship caliber. Griffith silenced his
Gliding critics at the Chicago stadium
last night by giving Rubbery Johnny
Risko. the big cake baker from Cleve-
land, a sound thrashing in 10 rounds.
It was his third victory over the no.
torious depsoiler of. championship
hopes and by far his most impressive.
Casting aside his usual care, Grit
fifth carried the fight to Risko from
start to finish. winning nine rounds
decisively. He outslugged and out.
boxed his rugged rival and cracked
him almost at will with his shower
Of left, rights and hooks. Risko
however, never was In distress.
From q financial standpoint, the
match was far from a. success. Less
than 10000 watched It and the re-
ceipts totaled only approximately
$780, 600.

MoDESTY RULES AS USUAL

New York, July 3.-(P-Flushed
with a stirring welcome celebrating
his dual victory abroad, Bobby Jones
today turned his face westward seek
ing new golf worlds to conquer.
The modest lawyer and bank direc-
tor of Atlanta, Georgia, stepped off
the liner Europa yesterday to be &C
corded a reception befitting the first
American to win both the British
amateur and open championships. =
Above the din of shrieking sirens,
popping firecrackers and the cheers
of thousands, Bobby managed to say
he had nc plans for retirement from
competitive golf: that he had given
no thought to winning all four ma
jor championships this year, which
include the American open. and anna
teur yet to be played; that he did not
leave his bag of famous clubs behind
in England: and that luck played a
large part in his triumphs at st. An
drews and Hoylake.
In the vanguard of welcomers who
met the liner down the bay were
about 500 fellow townsmen who jour-
neyed from Atlanta to greet their
favorite son and escort him proudly
up Broadway in a shower of paper to
receive New York's official welcome
from Mayor walker. First to embrace
him when he stepped aboard the city
boat Macon were his father and
mother.
The celebration ended with a din
ner at the Vanderbilt, after which
Bobby prepared to go to Minneapolis
today to play in the national open
tournament which begins next Thurs
day.
Carrying a motion picture camera,
Jones debarked from the Europa and
said he never felt better"
Even when you were playing?" he
was asked. for it is known that the
v strain in matches sometimes
upsets him.
"Oh. then maybe I was a little less
than 100 per cent" he answered. But
on the whole 1 could not have been
better physically"
He corroborated the statement OF
his close friend, o. B. Keller, who said
that he did not play up to his usual
form in the competition abroad.
That's right" Jones agreed, but
I wa lucky and after all that's more
important sometimes than playing
we'll"
Bobby spent today resting at his
hotel and preparing to start at ? p. m
tESTD for Minneapolis and the
American open tournament on the
Broadway Limited.
His mother and father will accom-
pany him, but his wife will return to
Atlanta and the Jones children
whom she has not seen since she and
Bobby sailed for England.
No demonstration was planned at
the train when Bobby departed.

fragrant Instances of
Plants Without Morals

Some years ago an Indian scientist
showed that many, If not all, plants
have feelings very like our own. No
one has yet discovered the brain OF
the plant, but it is unQuestionable that
while some are normally clean-living
things, others display craft, cunning,
and even criminal tendencies in order
to obtain a livelihood.
One which is both criminal and cum
ming is the plantain, which infests
lawns. 1t is clever enough to adapt
itself to circumstances by spreading
out its leaves so fatty that they es'
cape the attentions of the lawn
mower. And it goes farther than this.
1t wants to obtain sunlight, and it
can do so only if the grass does not
put it in the shade. Being a thorough
criminal, it puts out its fiat leaves in
such a way as to kill by suffocation
the grass growing near its roots.
Ivy strangles growing trees, and the
small convolvulus plays a similar evil
part to grasses and plants. But per-
haps the worst criminal in the under
world of plants is the dodder. 1t at
lacks clover fields and is capable Of
feigning death for weeks until an I'M
wary plant appears near 1t. Then it
sinks its suckers into the flesh OF the
victim and commits murder.-London

Linoleum EnRlishman's Idea

Linoleum was first produced in Eng
land, where the earliest patent was
granted in 1636-"painting with oyle
cullers upon wooden cloath." This was
followed by various mixtures of oils
and resins, and in 1851 by the incor-
poration of india rubber or gum
elastic. In 1874 Elijah Galloway soft
ened the india rubber by heating and
incorporating it with cork dust. This
was rolled into sheets and marketed
as "hamptullcon." Owing to the high
price of rubber, 1t did not prove profit
able to produce this article. In 1860
Frederick Walton invented process
for oxidizing linseed oil to produce a
cheap rubberlike substitute. The word
'lin0leum" was originally coined by
Mr.. Walton.

Red Men by No Means
Lacking in Imagination

A recent visitor to the Agawa can
yon, along the Algoma Central rail-
way, was astonished to observe on the
rock-face the well-defined head Of an
old man, as though roughly carved by
some giant sculptor. The incident
started a train Of reflection covering
the Indian legends Of the Northland.
Naughty white men, greedily depriv-
ing the Indians of their ancient en-
pire, long fostered the notion that the
red men were ''untutored" and pos
sessed no imagination. AS early as
1887, however, Father lie Jeune, a
Jesuit missionary, found they were in
the habit of entertaining themselves
by fanciful tales, and wrote his opin-
ion that "the savages, In point of In
tellect, may be placed in high rank.
Education and instruction alone are
wanting" Charlevoix said: "Their
harangues are full of shining pas
sages which would have been ap-
plauded at Rome or Athens" Modern
Canadian readers know the beauty of
Indian Oratory, such as those Of Te-
cumseh, or the simple dignity and
imaginative quality Of the speeches Of
Crowfoot and other chiefs who met
the whites In the seventies and made
treaties for the surrender of the
Canadian West.-The Globe (Toron-

Monks Self-Sacrifice
Ended Bloody Contests

Battles in the arena between gladi-
ators were stopped for all time in
444 A. D. by the impulsive action of
Telemachus, a Christian monk.
1t is said that the first set combats
between gladiatOrs in Rome were in
the year 263 B. c., and that they were
given by Decius and Marcus Brutus
at the funeral of their father. Later
the idea spread, and the contests be-
came favorite means Of amusing the
populace. 1t grew to such enormous
proportions that Trajan gave an ex-
hibition at the Coliseum lasting %
days, in which 10000 gladiators were
slain.
In 325 A. D., Constantine abolished
these contests. But a century later,
up on the retreat Of Alaric with his
Goths from Rome, the Emperor Homo
RUS celebrated the event by a revival
of the combats. 1t was then that
Telemachus leaped into the arena,
holding high a cross and calling upon
the people to prevent further blood
shed.
The reply of the populace was to
stone him to death. Afterward. in
deep sorrow, they repented the act,
and Honorius proclaimed the combats
forever at an end.-Popular Biography.
