ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Other Girl Better L0okiTS

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am very much III love Nith
a boy and he claims he Nves
me too. But another girl
keeps writing letters to fAr1
and he seems to like it. 1
don't believe he goeS Nitn her
but he threatens to when we
quarrel, and I must frankly
admit that she is a setter hDk-
ing girl than I am, and that he
could easily take a l!ki1E TO
her. AS we are NIT engaged
and don't intend to be for
quite a while, I have nothing
to say as to whom he should
go with. Do you think I ought
to encourage him to go with
her and other girls. or just al
low things to continue as they
are?
-. WENDY.
My dear girl, as you're not
engaged to the young man and
do not expect to be for quite
a while" to even show the
least anxiety over the young
mans attentions to other girls
is very bad tactics indeed. You
may suffer all the pangs of the
green-eyed monster, jealousy,
but learn to smile. If you show
your real feelings, you give your
hand away and the young man
wouldn't be human if he does
not become conceited. I do not
think it necessary to encourage
him to go with other girls, he's
apt to do that without any en-
couragement.

Billy Petrolle and CanZoneri knocked
him out in three rounds in the same
city last April when Berg made his first
bid for Tony's 136-pound diadem. In
New York Berg gained decisions over
both Petrolle and Canzoneri.
Whatever Berg's own opinion OF the
outcome of the match, the betting fra

No Feathers would rather play the
hero role than that ofthe villains to-

prefer the cheers and handclaps for
their efforts on the mat than to be on

But there cannot be two hero's in
one skit. Two gentlemen in one place
at one time always Is monotonous and
as devoid of usefulness as two right

There must be an underdog who, in
spite of all the seemingly successful
attacks of the powers of wrong, never
diverts from the thin highway of
honesty and craftsmanship.

FIGHT TO MANDELL
Fast Finish Gives Him Verdict

NEW ORLEANS, September 9 lR.-
A fast finish gave Sammy Mandell,
former lightweight champion, a close
victory over Owens Duvernay, local
welterweight, in q 10-round bout last
night.
In the last five rounds first Mandell
and then Duvernay appeared the win
ner. Each had his foe apparently in
bad shape at different times.
Duvernay had evened the fight by
an aggressive, two-handed attack in the
ninth round, and seemed the victor.
But Sammy. summoning his old time
spirit, gave Duvernay thorough lacing
in the final round and had him groggy

Wilson's future Is indefinite. Per-

BE HUGH g. FULLERTON, JR.,


'THREE recruit pitchers have
made brilliant debuts in the
i National League In the last
few weeks.
Jim Mooney, formerly of Bridge
port, came from nowhere to be-
come one of the New York Giants
stars. Monday Van Mungo stepped
up from Hartford to pitch a great
game for Brooklyn, and now Bill
Harris, who just came to Pitts
burgh from Fort Worth, has joined
them In the high places.
While Mooney was winning his sixth
straight game for the Giants yesterday
Harris pitched his first for the Pirates
and won 1t by shutout. He allowed
the Cincinnati Reds only five hits In a
brilliant duel with Jack Ogden and
Benny Frey and earned q 3-to-0 VIC
tory. The Pirates made only four hits,
but two Of them were combined with
two walks of Ogden and an error in
the first inning TO produce all three
runs.
MOONEY, who has yet to taste de-
WI feat in the big league, hurled the
Giants to an even break in their
double with Philadelphia. Phil
Collins downed the Giants for the sec
ond time in row in the opener, best
ing Bill Walker. 3 to /, as the Phils
scored three times in the fifth. Mooney
although hit 10 times, was effective in
all but one inning Of struggle against
Sheriff Blake and scored q run himself
in the eighth inning to produce a +3
victory.
Another good pitching performance
came from Austin Moore of Brooklyn in
the remaining National League game
Moore relieved Babe Phelps with the
bases full and none out in the first and
pitched nine full frames to win, 1916.
as his supporting cast hit three Boston
pitchers hard and dropped the Braves

place.

In the capable left hand of Robert
Moses Grove of the Athletics. He set
washington down to record his twenty
eighth victory Of the season against
