Yates took the Los Angeles Coun-

today can argue convincingly
against the adage that the
~ hand is quicker than the eye.
As Tommy Farr said: If 1 could
have seen Louie's punches coming I'd
have ducked 'em, you bet"
AS the result Of one of the most
masterful displays of eye and muscular
coordination ever seen in a Washing
ton ring, young Lou Ambers of Herki-
mer, N. Y. world lightweight cham
plon, was on the way home today all
in one piece.
1t may be said that Ambers a
dozen times or more in a l0-round
battle last night at Griffith Stadium
was within an inch of being knocked
screwy. BY the merest turn of chin,
nod OF head or tilt of dome, the
champion avoided Cowboys punches
driven with dynamite and launched
with lightning speed To boxing stu
dents close enough to see the fineness
Of Ambers' defensive art, the wallops
he dealt in return, three times laying
Scott on the floor, merely rounded out
a brilliant performance.
Scott Always Dangerous.
SCOTT took a decisive beating, but
Ambers, by his own admission, was
relieved no end when the final bell
rang
There wasn't moment from the
time the fight started" said the
champion, except when Scott was on
the floor, that he wasn't as dangerous
as mad tiger
And the Cowboy was most danger
Gus when, it seemed, he should have
been the opposite Three times. on
arising from knockdowns, all by rights
to the jaw, he carried the fight to
Ambers with vicious attacks that
made the Herkimer Hurricane indeed
resemble a wild wind in his swift
movements to keep out of trouble. In
one OF these furries the champion
lifted his chin not quite enough and
\ glancing shot slightly staggered
him.
Scott was floored in the fourth
eighth and tenth rounds, taking sue
cessive counts of I, 8 and 8. In spite
OF stiff going over through most of
the preceding stanzas. he fought his
best in the eighth which he won with
lot to spare. At the finish he was
groggy, but still strong with the will
to battle. Game, that Scott lad.

Earthen jugs Were
Collins for Women
of Ancient Russia

Baku, U. S. S. R.-Finding
a cemetery in which women, in
all their finery, were thrust into
huge jug collins when they died
almost two thousand years ago,
is reported on the Kura river by
workers building a dam.
That earthen jugs served as cof-
fins sometimes in this far southern
region of Russia, has been known.
But the new discovery reveals what
the ancient people and their burial
rites were really like, reports Tass.
1t is now believed that the jug
collins were for women only, or al
most entirely so. Men were SIM
ply buried in the ground with no
shelter. The cemetery dates from
the first to third centuries of the
Christian era.
One Girls Fine Garb.
One young girl found in a jug
was wearing red leather shoes and
belt, cloth trousers clasped at the
ankle with bronze anklets, skirt
and blouse and a load of beads
around her neck and bracelet on
her wrists. Dishes for food were
in the jug, and small clay cups and
saucers believed to be toys for play
ing house were put in the jug with
her.
The jugs, over 40 inches high,
were closed with large stone stop
per and laid horizontally in tn e
ground.

Every younger generation

Set aside a day to enjoy laziness
and it probably wouldn't be the

Keeping Up
wvII96S%slen{fe
Even if Dice Are Not
Loaded, You'nLose
in the Long Run
Gambling Odds Figured
Out by Mathematician

Princeton, N. J.-Prof. John
Won Neumann, Institute for Adj
vanced Study mathematician,
even applies his science to the
gambling table.
He has warned Princeton students
in a lecture that it is impossible
to win at dice over long periods,
whether the "ivories" are loaded
or not.
The magic "seven-eleven" COM
bination is by far the most frequent
thrown, he said, but if 1t doesn't
turn up on the first cast, the chances
are reversed, and the stakes are
as good as lost.
"That leaves a AGO winning av-
erage, so the game is not fair" he
declared
"Stone-paper-scissors," form of
gambling that originated among
bored convicts and is as old as
chess, is Prof. Won Neumann's spe-
cialty. This well-known game is won
by making each play the same num-
Der of times, but at random, and
your opponent will lose in the long
rum"
He termed the intellectual pursuit
of chess to be merely game of
chance, and said that white, F"
which has the first move, can al
ways win, although eff black is
wise to the theory, he can play
defensively and tie white.
Two Kinds Of Games.
Prof. Won Neumann divided
"games of chance" into two cate
gories: those like dice where ex-
plicit hazards are introduced by
rules, and those like chess, poker,
and "stone-paper-scissors," where
chance is introduced by what the
opponent does.
"In the latter type intellectual
reasoning is sometimes needed,
while in the former no decision is
required except whether to bet" he
pointed out.
In the case of dice, he showed
that since Z can be thrown in six
ways and II in two, while 2, 8, and
IL result from only one or two COM
binations, the conditions are favor
able to win on the first throw. But
if "seven-eleven" is missed, repeti-
ton of the first throw is unlikely,
and the seven is now working
against the player. The net effect is
against the player.
Chances in Poker
In poker, which he had to simplify
considerably to be able, to analyze,
Prof. Won Neumann stated that
chances are one out of 800, 1000, 900
to obtain any certain combination of
five cards, although several diff
ferent combinations satisfy the
straight, flush, clubhouse or four OF
a kind.
The study of probability in games
is mere recreation with Prof. Won
Neumann, who has devised "con-
tinuous geometry" specialized in
mathematical physics, and written
an elementary theory of quantum
mechanics" He came to Princeton
to teach in 1890 after education at
Zurich, Switzerland, and Gottingen,
Germany. In 1888 he joined Prince
tons newly-organized Institute for
Advanced Study.

Character and Friendship

CHARACTER forms friend
~ ships and friendships form
character. Friendship is lased
on something shared together,
and so it comes about that
friendship which could be the
most beautiful thing in life,
could also be one of the most
dangerous. 1t was by our
friendship more than by any,
thing else that we assembled the
ladder of life, rung by rung
from earth even to Heaven.
When our friendships were
based on the best in us, that
gave us the opportunity to gain
the victory over what was
worst. DR.. Temple, Arch
bishop of York.

Ants Help to Build

Algiers.-On the French At

Ant hills 10 feet high and scat

Only a part of each hill is dug
