BANTAM CHAMPION FIGHTER COMES BACK

The history of the prize ring, past and present, is full of stories related concerning former champions of the squared circle who tried to "come back” and failed dismally. As a general rule the man who once retires from active service makes an awful mess of it if he undertakes to begin over again. Jim Jeffries was a case In point, so was Battling Nelson, Jim Corbett* Kid McCoy, Tom Sharkey, Bob Fitzsimmons—the list could be strung out to an indefinite length. Once in a great while a fighter bobs into view who manages to achieve the seemingly impossible by returning to the scenes of former triumphs and making good. He may be called the “exception who proves the rule,” and such a one is Harry Forbes, exchampion of the bantam weight division. Forbes began boxing in 1897, and from the beginning showed the unusual speed and punching power that helped to make him a world’s champion in the future. He won the title in 1903 by defeating Andy Tokell, the British champion; having previously knocked out Danny who had succeeded Terry McQovern, as American champion. Forbes retired from the ring in 1905. Up to that time he had participated in 111 batties, and was one of the most popular boxers that ever donned the gloves. Just a year ago the fighting fever seized the retired champion again, and he resolved to tempt fortune be tween the ropeß again. Under the management of Howard Carr, more popularly known as Kid Howard, he went east, and despite his four years’ absence from the ring, the matchmakers thought well enough of his chances to pit him against Knockout Brown, who was then fighting in the featherweight ranks. Brown, however, refused to make 118 rounds the weight agreed upon, and the match was called off. The fight was to have taken place at Troy, N. Y., and Jack Ray was substituted for Brown. Ray was knocked out in the second round, Forbes showing clearly that his oldtime punch had not deserted him. His next match was with Joe Cos-

Harry Forbes.

ter of New York, before a Brooklyn club. Coster was considered the best man of the bantamweight division in the east, and early in the battle ‘he caught- Forbes with a short hook on the jaw that floored the Chicagoan. Forbes was knocked groggy by the fall, and for six rounds he fought mechanically, being sent to the floor repeatedly and frightfully punished. Had not his physical condition been absolutely perfect, he could never had stood up under the terrible gruelling to which he was subjected. But he stuck it out, and by degrees his head Cleared, and he began fighting back. In the seventh round Forbes landed a right on Coster’s jaw that floored the New York lad in his turn. Coster was in bad shape and clinching to save himself. Early in the eighth round Forbes went after his man in tiger fashion, rushed him to the ropes, slammed right and left to his jaw, and dropped him for the full count It was this victory which convinced Forbe’s friends that he was as good as ever. In a bout at Troy he lost a decision to Abe Attell, the featherweight champion, but this did not detract from his reputation, as Forbes was plainly overmatched in weight and fighting out of his class. Forbes’ last appearance In the ring resulted in a knockout of Mike Bartley in four rounds at Fort Wayne, the contest taking place a short time ago. Boxing critics throughout the country are all of the opinion that Forbes was never better than at the present time. Freddy Whlttlngham, Forbes’ trainer and sparring partner, shares thiß belief. Whlttlngham probably knows Forbes better than any other person living, he having worked with the former king of the bantams from the very start of his career. And Fred sass that today Forbes is boxing with all the vim and fire that distinguished him in the past, and his hitting power is as dangerous as ever. To Whlttlngham belongs the credit for getting Forbes into his fighting trim, and if the former owner of the bantam title Bhould regain it; he will have much to thank his faithful trainer for.

FRANKLIN FIELD NOT CHOSEN

No Location Has as Y«t Been Chosen for Army-Navy Games—Time of Game Not Agreed Upon. Notwithstanding the published reports that it had been settled that Franklin Field would be the scene of the next Army-Navy football game. Lieutenant Frank D Berrien, football representative and head coach at the Naval Academy, who was quoted as one of those who had been a party to the agreement, stated most positively that no agreement had been reached and that the matter was exactly where it was- when the three years’ agreement ended with the game last November. lieutenant Berrien stated that neither- the location or time of the game had been definitely agreed upon, and in this he was supported by the statement of Lieutenant Commander Harris Laning, athletic officer at the academy and one of those appointed to confer with the representatives of the Military Academy and the University of Pennsylvania. The Navy has assumed that the game would be played on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, as usual, the date this year being December 2, but there has been no agreement with the Army to this effect While there has been no agreement for the game to be played on Franklin Field, there is a possibility that the report grew out of information that the University of Pennsylvania would acquiesce in the request for more seats to be allotted the two services. This would be gladly received at Annapolis, as Franklin Field is preferred to any other place as the location for the game, and only the Imperative need of more seats brings any other place into consideration.

MARSHALL KEEPS HIS TITLE

Frank J. Marshall, Present Chess Champlop, Wins Out In National Tourney by Half Point. By half a point Frank J. Marshall, who was already champion of the United States, won the national chess masters’ tournament, which had been in progress in New York for two weeks. His final game was drawn with Kreymborg, making his score 10 points

Frank J. Marshall.

out of a possible 12, or 8 wins and 4 drawn games in the tournament. He did not lose a game. The magnificent finish by the Cuban champion, Jose R. Capablanca, reduced Marshall's margin to half a point. By winning from Paul Johner on Friday the Cuban finished in second position.

Stars After Davis Cup.

It came out the other day tht Beals Wright, William Larned and Maurice McLaughlin, the three top notchers in American tennis, are planning to go abroad next summer with the intention of lifting the Davis „ cup now held in Australia. The only question that must soon be brought to a head is the English end of the negotiations.

Limit Bets to Rich.

For the purpose of restricting race track gambling to the wealthy classes, the Russian government has adopted new rules whereby stakes are fixed at five dollars. Clubbing and bookmaking are prohibited. There Is a movement afoot in the duma to prohibit race track betting altogether.

MADE CHANGE IN WRESTLING

Champion Frank Goteh la Responsible for the New Wrestling Gems— Wears His Man Down. Champion Frank tiotch must be given credit for revolutionizing the wrestling game. Before Gotch's time speed and avoiding pnnishment were considered secondary matters. About the time Gotch was coming into the wrestling title the American mat artists were refusing to meet the extremely heavy men being Imported —notably the Turks, who began to flood the country after Youssuff cleaned

Frank Gotch.

up. Wrestling was handicapped pretty much along lines of strength and weight at that time and speed was not regarded as much, of a necessity. Punishment was understood to some extent, but it was not scientifically applied, and when there was much of It It was generally because there wad a lot of foul work. Wearing a man down consisted mainly In getting him on the mat and laying around him so as to tire him out by sheer weight. Gotch has changed this completely. He was about the same as other wrestlers up to about the time he had to meet Hackenschmldt, and the Indications are that he changed his plans mainly for this bout, as he feared the Russian’s great size and strength. As a result Gotch spent most of his time while training working out a system whereby he could keep from being put on the mat and at the same time worry and wear down his opponent. How successful he was was shown when he had his opponent beaten before ever the two went to the mat. Throwing him when finally Gotch concluded It was time to risk grappling with the Russian was a mere matter of form, as Hackenschmldt was too weak then to defend himself. Ever since Gotch has resorted to the same tactics when he Is against an opponent who Is heavier and stronger than he is.

Daily Umpire Reports.

Hereafter the umpires of the Eastern league, after each game, will forward reports to President Barrows on the weather and playing field conditions, the behavior of the players, the names of the men fined or disciplined and the reasons for the same. President Barrows thinks that by having these reports he will be better able to get at the bottom of any troubles that may arise on the field, and that the chronic misery-makers will put themselves on record automatically.

Coy Now Coal Baron.

Edward Harris Coy, head coach of the Yale football eleven last fall, has decided to go into the coal business In Chattanooga, Tenn. He planned to go Into the lumber business till recently with his brother, Sherman Coy, the former Yale end rush. Coy captained the Yale eleven two years ago. He is one of the best allaround athletes that ever wore a Yale uniform.

Cornell and Michigan In Pact.

The athletic management of Cornell university announces the drawing up of a two years’’ football arrangement between Cornell and the University of Michigan. The Michigan game, one with Chicago university, and one with the University of Pennsylvania probably will be the full extent of Cornell’s participation in big contests next fall.

FOUR GOOD RECIPES

MBHES THAT ARE BOTH PALATA* BLE AND CHEAP. \ ■■ln.—ii i ■■ With Rice Used as the Foundation, Hostess May Place Very Many Good Things Before Her Luncheon or Dinner Guests. Rice and Tomatoes.- —One-half cupful of rich, one-half can of tomatoes, one onlojv, one-half green pepper. Boil rice about ten minutes, then add tomatoes, onion, and pepper, chopped fine.

Salt Mackerel, Cream Sauce.

Soak over night in lukewarm water, changing this in the morning for ice cold. Rub all the salt off and wipe dry. Grease your gridiron with butter and rub the fish on both sides with the same melted. Then broil quickly over a clear fire, turning with a cake turner, so as not to break it. Lay on a hot platter, keep warm until sauce is ready. Heat a small cup of milk to scalding. Stir into it a teaspoon of cornstarch, wet up with a little water. When this thickens add two tablespoons of butter, pepper, salt and chopped parsley. Beat an egg light, pour the sauce gradually over it, put the mixture again over the fire and stir one minute, not more. Pour upon the fish and let stand covered over hot water or oven till sending to table.

Helps to Lighten Work.

The well beaten yolk of an egg lightly brushed over the top of a pie will make the crust brown and shiny. Neyer use the fingers in pinching the edges of pies, as the heat from the hands will keep the crust from rising. A crisp crust on a cake may be. made by adding a spoonful of ice water to the batter or dusting with sugar just before putting it into the oven. Rubbing the surface of the loaves with melted butter or lard, salted, will produce a soft, brown, tender crust on bread.

Farmers’ Plum Pudding.

Put in a basin two cupfuls of flour, a pinch of salt, two level teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one each of ginger and cinnamon. Sift and mix well, then add one-half pound each candied peel, currants or raisins, or both currants and raisins. Next add one-half cupful of molasses, one-half cupful of milk mixed with one beaten egg and stir to a batter-like consistency. Put in a buttered mold and steam three hours, with buttered paper tied over the top in place of a lid.

Mutton Batter Pudding.

Two cups of milk, one large cup of flour, two eggs, neat squares of cold mutton freed from skin and fat, pepper and salt, some melted butter heated with tomato catsup. Make a batter of the milk, eggs and flour. Lay the meat in the melted butter, pepper and salt, butter a pudding dish, pour in a little of the batter, then add the meat soaked well in the butter; pour in the rest of the batter and bake one hour in a steady oven and serve.at once.

Chocolate-Coated Raisins.

Raisins coated with melted chocolate make a unique confection to serve at the end of a dinner. Melt some sweet chocolate and dip fine, large raisins, seeded, into it. Let them cool and harden before serving. Small stoned dates of superior quality may also be coated with chocolate in this way. A candy dipper is a most convenient little utensil when dipping fruits or nuts into melted chocolate.

Pie Shell.

So many have trouble making a shell for a pie keep its shape. Turn a pie pan upside down, press the pastry on smooth and close, prick with a fork In several places. Bake. When you put it on a plate ready for the filling you have a nice, shapely shell.

Use for Coffee Cans.

Many people use the tin cans which coffee comes in for holding other articles. To save time in loosening the tops buy some of the knob handles which are used an kettle covers and screw into the center of the can cover.

DELICACY MADE OF PRUNES

1 Souffle Makes Good Dessert and Is Eminently Suitable for the Children Remove the pits from a large cupful of stewed prunes and chop fine. Add the whites of three eggs and half a cup of sugar beaten to a stiff froth. Mix well, turn into a buttered dish, and bake v3O minutes in a moderate oven. , Serve with whipped cream. If it is desired to cook this in individual cups, butter the cups, fill only two-thirds full, to allow for puffing up of the eggs, and set the cups In a pan of water to bake. Some like a dash of cinnamon in this. Another recipe for prune whip in which the baking is omitted is especially rich. Take one pint, of stewed prunes, one-third pint of thick cream, whites of six eggs, and raspberry or loganberry jelly. After thoroughly draining the prunes, pit them and rub them through a colander; avoid rubbing the skins through as much as possible. Beat the white of the eggs to a stiff froth, then by degrees beat these into sifted prunes. If not sweet enough to suit the taste, add a teaspoonful of sugar. The delicacy of this dish depends largely upon the thoroughness with which the ingredients are beaten together. When well beaten together, pour into a glass dish. Whip the cream and spread evenly over the top of the pudding, then fleck the whipped cream with bits of the jelly. Serve with cream, or, if preferred, with a custard made from the yolks of six eggv.

PEELER EASY TO CONSTRUCT

Can Be Made at Home and Is Great Help In the Preparation of Vegetablee. A simple vegetable peeler can be easily made as follows: Secure a block of wood one inch thick and two inches wide and six inches long, and a piece of tin, iron or brass one-fourth

inch wide by three and one-half lnehes long. Bend the metal as shown in Fig. 1 and fasten it to the rounded edge of the. block by means of four nails or tacks, as shown in Fig. 2. File it down at A, Fig. 1, to make the cutting edge, which should be no more than oneeighth inch from the surface of the block. The peeler is used as shown in Fig. 3.—Popular Mechanics.

Delicate Cake.

Grated cocoanut sifted over the icing makes it extremely pretty and very delicious.

To Save Soap.

Small pieces of toilet soap should be saved from the soap dishes, and when a sufficient quantity has been collected it should be cut into shavings and dissolved in boiling water. Measure the soap, and to each cupful put two cupfuls of water. When the soap is dissolved add enough line oatmeal to make a stiff batter. The mixture is then turned into molds and when dry makes an excellent soap for the skin.

To Clean Tatting.

It is difficult to wash tatting to look as good as new, being almost impossible to restore the picots to their original shape. Soak the pieces in gasoline and while wet dust them with cornstarch. Wrap them in a clean towel and leave for several hours. Beat the towel lightly, lift out the lace, and shake It free from the starch. Press the picots Into shape and iron lightly on the wrong side.

When the Butter Sticks.

To cut table butter without having it either stick to the knife or crack, wet in cold water a piece of the oiled paper in which the butter comes wrapped, then fold It over the cutting edge of the knife and use the latter as usual. —Suburban Life.
