COT TO FIGHT III
THE ARGENTINE
BOXERS GOING ON SOUTHERN
TRIP FIND AUTHORITIES
STRICT- NOTES OF ATHLETICS.
ELDERLY WOMEN
PARTY DELEGATES
New York, June 8. The boxers
who will make the trip from this
country to Argentina to compete in a
series of bouts in Buenos Ayres will
finds conditions governing contests
there considerably from those exist
ing in North American rings. Ac
cording to the regulations, which are
to be made part of the contracts, the
pugilists will not receive the sums
stipulated in their arrangements un
less the spectators are thoroughly
satisfied with the contests.
While boxing is still far from an
established institution in Buenos
Ayres, the city authorities have cer
tain ideas regarding the conduct of
the sport, one of which is that the
pugilists must give the spectators
their money's worth. As a result the
principals are never paid until those
who purchased tickets have signified
that they are satisfied with the ex
hibition. This has been made clear
to the boxers who will shortly start
for Argentina, by the explanation that
if the spectators are not pleased with
the efforts of the pugilists their
money is returned to them before
they leave their seats and the con
testants get nothing.
In the party will be four negro
heavyweights, Sam McVey, Joe
Jeanette, Sam Langf ord and Harry
Wills, and the understanding is that
they will box a round-robin tourna
ment for the tegro championship of
the world under these conditions. The
men will be drawn by lot for the bat
tles, the two winners to meet in a
Bemi-final and the losers to meet for
third place. All the bouts will be
twenty round contests with a referee's
decision if they go the limit. These
bouts will be fought during July and
August and before the completion of
the tournament it is expected that ar
rangements will have been made with
Jack Johnson to box the winner for
the negro title. Johnson is at pres
ent in Spain where he has figured
in two recent bouts and it is under
stood that he has tentatively accepted
the proposition to appear in the Bue
nos Ayres ring. - '
The promoter of the bouts in Ar
gentina is an amateur boxer of consid
erable repute and a man of wealth. He
has spent several months touring the
various countries in search of pugilis
tic talent .for the cominz ring tourna
ment. During his recent trip to
France he ofered Georgefs Carpen
tier, the French champion, something
like $100,000 for two bouts in Buenos
Ayres, with a further percentage of
the gate for the French Red Cross
fund. He secured the official consent
of the French army authorities for
a three-months furlough for Carpen
tier, but when he made his offer to
the pugilist the latter replied: "No.
I fight not for money now, but for
France. When the war ends, if I sur
vive, I will fight in your country, but
not before.
Cornell University oarsmen have
been trying out another rowing inno
vation in training which is reported
to work successfully. It is nothing
more than an adaption of the mirror
system used during the indoor train
ing season. It consists of a bright
silver disk, which is fastened to the
oar handle in such a manner as to
be parallel With the blade. In con-

prevents the oar handle from being

has been a decided improvement in

"I remember, when a kid, of slip
ping a fine large 'chaw' of plug to
bacco into the throttle of a pachy
derm that strangely resembles that
big fellow over there," he told his
commanding officer.
But marines never flinch no mat
ter what the danger and Davis was
ordered to take his place eby the side
of the elephant he feared.
A d then nothing fiat all hap-na5
And then nothing at all happened.
The elephont by Davis' side was
not related not even by marriage
to the elephant he had wronged in his
youth.

An airy, fairy dancing frock is this
thing In French orpandy and filet lace,
designed by Mme. Ripley of the Fashion
Art League of America for a Newport de
buntante. It is simple and so demure I see no rea
son why girls may not develop the design
in 25-cent organdy or 35-cent lawn.
The skirt is full, gathered at the back
to suggest a bustle. But the newest and
oddest thing about it is the collar which
looks like a hood. The girdle is in apricot
satin. Point d'sprit, which fashion is
bringing bck to favor, would be charm
ing in this model.
To My City and Country Friends:
I am deeply grateful to you for the splendid
vote you gave me Tuesday, and I wish to take this
means of thanking you for your esteemed support
and confidence in me shown by the gift of your vote.
Like some of my fellow - candidates, the votes
did not fly thick and fast enough to land me in the
office I sought, but my gratitude is just as sincere
for what you did for me in this election as if I had
won. , Perhaps we may try again and fare better.
The fates may be kinder next time.
Again thanking you for your kind efforts in my
behalf, I am .
Sincerely yours,

To the Voters of Escambia
County!
I sincerely thank my friends and supporters
for the splendid vote I received on Tuesday,
and to those who did not vote for me, as
sure them there is no feeling on my part, for
the office is not mine, but belongs to the peo
ple and is theirs to give or take away at their
pleasure. I fought against great odds and
feel that the large vote I received was a vin
dication of my official record. I shall always
hold in grateful remembrance the large
majorities the voters of this county have
always given me in the past and want
them to know I am accepting defeat as
manfully as I have ever rejoiced in victory,
and will be the same good fellow and loyal
friend in the future as I have been in the
past.
