marry Serody, the hlghly-touted
Philadelphia K. o. artist, failed
to impress in the main set-to when
Harry Alexanian, Worcester, Mass,
veteran, survived to the seventh
round, and then collapsed from a
right hand uppercut to the stom-
ach which did not seem to carry
much steam. but had Alexanian
out for several minutes.
The Bevans-Mays scrap, billed
as a "grudge battle" was a hum
mer from start to finish, both
boys seemed anxious to commit
mayhem on each others persons,
and the fight was close all the
way with Bevans grabbing the de-
cision by virtue of a last round
rally.
Mays took the first round
through the effective use of chop
ping rights to Bevans kidneys and
stomach and right hooks to the
head, but Bevans' left hooks to
the midsection and occasionally
to the chin gave him the next two
rounds.
Close Rounds
The fourth was Mays by a hair.
the fifth even and the sixth went
to BevanS by narrow margin due
to his cleaner punches and forcing
tactics.
The bout was so close that when
the decision was rendered Mays
partisans refused to still their
boos so that Jimmy Lake could in
troduce the principals in the semi
final.

couldn't find the range for a
solid shot at Alexanian's chin for

SCORES OVER
MRS. SCOTT,
5AND4
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Miss Winifred Faunce, Of
Manor Club, medalist in the
tournament, today advanced to
the second round Of match play
of the District Women's Golf
Championship, defeating Mrs.
Don Scott, of Indian Spring. 5
and 4, today at Columbia Country
Club.
The hard hitting Manor star
did not continue her sensational
play where she left off yesterday,
but played well enough to take
commanding lead on the first
nine.
They reached the turn with
Miss Faunce in the van by three
holes. On the inward nine, the
Manor player increased her lead
to five up by winning the tenth
and eleventh holes. She lost the
twelfth, and after they had
halved the thirteenth, she took
the fourteenth with a par four
to win the hole and match. The

AS rain pelted down. Miss Faunce
yesterday showed her golfing Su-
periority over her sister players.
The long-hitting Manor star,
fresh from a years rest from golf,
scored a rather remarkable 41-41
-82 to take the medal. Women's
par for the Columbia course is IT,
Mems par is 10.
Fine Score
Miss Faunce registered her
fine score despite an 8 on the
par 4 sixth and 7 on the par
S twelfth. These were the only
occasions on which she went
more than one stroke above par.
Miss Faunce's card showed that
she played the first four holes
in even par figures. She also
scored par on the seventh, eighth,
tenth and fourteenth holes. She
ratified off a birdie on the par
4 seventeenth.
What turned out to be an 81
might just as well have been
a II or a 78. At that, this score
of 41-41-82 establishes a new
record for the 18-hole qualifying
round of this annual tournament.
The play of Miss Faunce and
Mrs. Meckley, who had an "a.

calls his career in California several
years ago when he was spectacular fig
ure IN the promotion of the Julian Oil
company, which left such a scandalous
blot on the history of this state.
AT the height of his career Julian lived
like a king. He died penniless and
friends will have to provide funds for
his funeral expenses.
Many recall the eXtravagant adver-
tlSements he ran soliciting subscribers
to his stock. They were "super-high-
powered in sales psychology, and
caused thousands of persons to take their
savings from banks. or borrow money so
that they might take advantage of the
opportunity to get rich quick which
Julian offered them.
The magnetism of his advertising in
splred many otherwise sound and level
headed persons to swallow his bait, the
same as it did those who are always
looking for chance to get rich on a
shoe-string.
1t was not until one paper had the
courage to come out and declare it
would not accept any more Julian adver-
tising, because it believed his scheme was
crooked, that his fortune turned 1t is
only fair to credit the Los Angeles Times
for taking this stand. For its action it
was denounced and condemned by Ju-
lian and his followers and villified
through the news and advertising col
umns of other papers
Subsequently the papers course was
vindicated. The Julian mess is too re-
cent to need any detailed account. Men
high in public and private life were
dragged down by the scandal it created.
Some went to prison, others took the
route which Julian eventually followed.
Disgrace and poverty was the ultimate
lot of all the high powered" Julian
gang and those who fell into its clutches.
AS for the investors in Julian S scheme,
they got the usual lot of the INVESTOR

Despite the expose of Julian in Cali
fornla, he was able subsequently to go to
Texas and Oklahoma where he found
plenty of more gullible ones. Ultimate
ly the inevitable crash came and Julian
fled, leaving subordinates to face the
music and new flock of investors to
hold the sack.
He sought refuge in China where he
was safe from American law. He had a
few brief months of furtive existence,
during which he hoped to stage a come

vial and the end
Julian had much ability. Instead of
turning it to good he devoted it to evil
his own desire for power and his greed
for money.
1t would be we'll if the public learned
lesson from Julian's career but this is
too much to expect. If another Julian
came along with high sounding words
he would still find plenty to believe in
him. That is the saddest phase of Ju-
lian'S career.

as he hoped along on his way to

All of a sudden, as the rabbit gen.

WASHINGTON, March 26. =
Within the span of a month thieves
and vandals have caused the gov
ernment chagrin, worry and irrita-
ton.
First was the theft of a gilded
brick from the treasury department
which upset the equilibrium of high
officials and placed guards in the
light of being comic opera watch
men. Investigation of that theft is
continuing.
On top of this affront to dignity
came the looting of the trophy room
which fronts the tomb OF the Un-
known Soldier in Arlington ceme-
terry. A showcase, as in the treasury
theft, was rifled.
The following medals were taken:
Descendants of the Signers OF the
Declaration of Independence; Caroh
Down AL Romaniel, Virtue Militairi;
Fidac Society; Daughters of Cincin-
natl; Disabled Veterans OF the
World War; Daughters of the Union
Veterans of the Civil War; Danes
