Pledging sympathy-with the Cantonese- cause, they issued a manifesto calling for a general strike which involved thousands of workmen. Laying down their tools, the workers demanded the irhmediate evacuation of the city by all British troops and the soldiers of Marshal Sun. ruler of Kiangsu province, in which this city is situated. Tho strike began in orderly fashion. Tho foreign quarters, which consist of the British and French concessions and tho American quater. in whic hare congregated the thousands of foreign nationals, many of whom < fled from the interior, were unaffected by the order of martial law. Hemming in these concessions is < the Chinese population of 600,000, about half of whom live within the concession boundaries. Meanwhile the theatre of war, ac'■'■li'r;,'. -1 by ..f-j’). .... moved northward to Kashing, midway between Hangchow and Shanghai, where Marshal Sun prepared his entrenchments for the titanic battle that promised to decide the fate of all China. Remnants of Sun’s troopfc, defeated in a battle at Ningpo, trickled through here today with stories of the northern, disaster. Although details were lacking, it was indicated that the battle had been onesided. Observers here believed that the withdrawal from Ningpo was symptOr matic of the crumbling morale of Sun's troops, due to the infiltrations of Cantonese propaganda agents. A rapid advance of the nationalists was believed imminent. As rapidly as the soldiers came ashore here, they were entrained for Kashung, a city lying On the railway midway between Shanghai and Hangchow. Hangchow is 100 miles south of Shanghai, Ningpo is approximately equal distance east of Hangchow and the three cities are. connected by a railway of which Ningpo is the eastern terminal.

Y.. Feb. 19.— (United Press.)—Fat Jimmy Ma- ; loney of Boston took a big jump into I the running for the world's heavy- ' weight championship in the garden I last night, when he decisively out'pointed Jack Delaney, the world’s i light heavyweight champion. The referee and the two judges voted a unanimous opinion that Maloney was the winner and 22.000 spectators who had paid close to $200,000 to see the fight agreed wkh a standing vote of acclamation. Boxing writers at the ringside gave every round but the fifth to Maloney and some of them called the first round even because’ in that round there was very little action. After the contest Pete Reilly. Delaney's manager, said that Delaney had broken the right thumb on his right hand in the third-round and that he was handicapped hopelessly through the remaining seven rounds. At the end of the sixth round all the spectators knew that Delaney could win if he did win only by a knockout. Throughout the fight Maloney, who had a weight advantage of 31 1-2 pounds, pushed Delaney all over the ring. Delaney’s vaunted right hand punch, which had stopped nearly every fighter whom he bounced off Maloney's < hin four times in the fifth round and the force of the punches didn't even knock the Boston heavyweight off his balance. In this fifth round, the only round that could have been given to Delaney, Maloney had the skin taken off punch. Bat in the corner after the round Dan Carroll and his handlers worked on him perfectly and he came up for the next round, fresh and cool. Delaney, in his corner, was very tired. Pete Riley, his mangare and his esconds beseeched him to go out and work on what they thought was a fractured nose. Delaney tried to do it but he couldn't hit the mark. As a result of his victory over Delaney, Maloney will have to wait now for the contest between Mike MeTigue and Jack Sharkey. He will meet the winner of the McTigufr' Sharkey fight and the winner of that contest will probably get a match with Gene Tunney for the. world's heavyweight championship. Maloney’s victory last night was one of the biggest upsets of form in recent years, as with a few netahle expectations all the boxing writers in New York hall picked Delaney to win either by a knockout in a few rounds or by a decision. oGet the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays
