Ball Zrnora List Slim Decision Win ons Delaney Can Take
MITCHELL PROVES
WALLOP ABSORBER
Al Receivers From Terrific
Blow to Jaw to Earn
Unanimous Verdict.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

. u AANs
~AULIFLOWER alleys estimate
A of AL Delaney's punching
prowess was q bit more con-
Servative today, in the wake
Of its new pride's latest but kayo-less
conquest, but If there were any
wounds of overestimation there also
was new balm.
The 19-year-old Buffalo heavy
weight, whom Capital boxing fans
seem to have adopted" failed to
knock out Terry Mitchell last night.
Most of what wagering lucre changed
hands did so because Tough Terry
lasted the eight-round route, disprov-
ing the infallibility of AIS sock.
But what Delaney did prove was
that he can take a punch. He,
showed, In winning a unanimous de-
cision, that he can shake OF the Sun
day wallop of fighter of at least
Mitchells calibre and come back for
more. All in all, he generally justi-
fed IS per cent of the superlatives
hurled at him since he rocked Bob
Goodwin to sleep with ridiculous ease
just two weeks ago.
Terry Takes Bad Beating.
WHEN ability TO absorb punches Is
the topic, though, Mitchell
must come first. Unless somebody
dissects the Brooklynite the question
of What held him up?" must 90
down in history as one of the unan-
swerables. along with How high Is
up?" and who killed Cock Robin?"
Whipping punches that literally cut
tracks through the dense blue smoke
of Joe Turner's arena, Delaney nearly
tore of Terry's head. Four times
during the melee he seemed to, have.
the durable Brooklyn battler on the
verge of a kayo. And each time,
from an apparently bottomleSs res
ervoir of reserve, Mitchell battled his
way out of the fog.
Mitchell took only one round CT
this Observers scorecard but that
should have been the heat to convince
Delaney's followers that this young
Russian American lad can take q solid
wallop to the jaw and body. Early
in the sixth round, with Delaney pos
sibly a bit careless and Mitchell gen.
timely desperate, Terry brought up a
looping right from Fourteenth street.
swung in in an arc due east, and
planted his fist against the side Of
AIS jaw.
The blow had its effect. 1t slowed
Delaney down just enough to take a
more sustained pounding in the mid
section. But it was q punch which
might have taken q more severe toll
on a less hardy species than Master
Delaney.

ARTHRlTlS OR RHEUMATISM

Arthritis means inflammation OF the
joints, OF which there are many var
ieties and many different symptoms.
The common name is rheumatism.
inflammation Of the joints involves
the bones, nerves, muscles and other
tissues.
Acute inflamations of the joints
are accompanied by pain, redness,
swelling and heat. The muscles re-
sist movement in an effort to pre-
vent pain. The trouble may begin in
one or two joints, then extend to
others. The condition may slowly
heal or gradually become chronic
and last for years OF a lifetime. The
disease has a tendency to grow bet
ter at times, causing the patient TO
think that he is well; but afterwards
the joints again inflame, swell and
grow painful.
Some cases are entirely cured; but
as a rule the disease is apt to recur
at intervals and it may grow milder
or nor severe as time passes.
There are many causes for arthrit-
Is. The immediate or exciting cause
may be due to getting wet and
chilled. Many authorities attribute
the disease to constipation In 40 per
cent of the cases. Another group
think that 1t is caused from eating
too much sugar. Others again claim
that ar overconsumption Of proteid
foods, such as meats, fish and eggs.
bring on the trouble.
1t is quite true that o~ver-eating
produces very harmful results. Com
mon sense dictates that he who over
eats should reduce the amount OF his
food intake, while n who Is frail
and sick needs nourishing foods In
abundance to build up his wasted
and inadequate tissues. Fairly large
amounts of sweets are Injurious to
the sufferer from arthritis and will
often bring on an attack. Some fad
dists insist on omission Of fruits and
vegetables, such as oranges, lemons,
grape fruit and tomatoes. This is an
error, for the juices Of such fruits
are helpful to the rheumatic. During
the process of digestion they become
alkaline and assist In restoring the
balance to the body. Then too they
are comparatively rich in vitamin c
and contain a good deal Of vitamin A.

The Voice of The Veteran

With all the agitation which now surrounds the
request that veterans Of the World war be Immediately
paid their adjusted service certificates, a study Of the
situation will show that practically all OF the trouble
which has resulted is caused by politicians who have
attempted to have Incorporated into a bill some pet
hobby of how the payment shall be made or how the
government shall raise the money.
With the veterans over the nation it is not q
question of how the money is to be raised. That, as
the veterans see it, should be left to the dictates OF
congress-and congress alone. The veteran is inter-
ested in one t-hing-immediate payment of the ad-
justed certificate, and the deduction of interests which
may have accrued against the certificates during the
past few years.
The fight has boiled down to one principal issue
that of one simple demand which will forever ban pol
itical pets and riders.
Veterans rightly feel that as far as the adjusted
compensation certificates are concerned the govern
ment owes them a just debt-one that should be paid
now. The explanation is simple. In active service
with their lives at stake daily-the veterans received
from the government a sum Of approximately $1.10 a
day. With Sums taken out for canteen, insurance and
many social features the average enlisted mans
monthly check was in an amount Of only 81 to SO
monthly. This amount is comparable to that received
in the civilian occupations which attended the war by
a ratio of possibly one to ten-for the most common
labor.
In a decision favored by the government the ad-
justed certificates were alowed-giving each veteran
SIP additional pay for each day served overseas and
81 for each day served under the country's colors on
this side of the Atlantic. The adjustment was paid In
the form of a bond to be payable about 1916. Then
came a joker.
Following a period Of initiation and high finance
the depression settled down ON the United States and
finally veterans were allowed to borrow fifty per cent
of their bond-but at an interest rate that was highly
satisfactory to banks over the nation Private banks
were as willing to lend money on the bonds as was the
federal government.
Veterans are now saying that they need their ad-
justed compensation. Huge sums are being spent for
relief. Payment OF the bonus would Immediately place
thousands of dollars in circulation for the payment Of
debts and for the betterment Of families OF veterans.
The song and dance that to turn such a sum into
channels of commerce would be disastrous to the
monetary system has no good backing. The same ar
gument was used when the fifty per cent payment was
suggested. Then as now there was a cry OF destruc-
ton to the monetary system The sum was paid, the
money was placed In circulation, the debt was rightly
absorbed by the federal government and the country
carried on as usual. The veterans need the backing
Of every citizen to see that they receive their just
dues.
