TWO EUROPEAN FIGHT CHAMPIONS ARRIVE

Georges Papin’s hopes for a warm reception from American boxing lovers met with a cruel serlmck on his first appearance in this country. He met Lew Tendler, the second man to the champion of the lightweights, in a Jersey City ring, *nd resigned in the sixth round. The finish came in curious fashion, as Papin went down from exhaustion in the sixth without being struck. He had plently of excuse, however, as he was floored four times in the fifth round. ; ——======== «- Tlie Frenchman proved game, but will not measure up to the American standard of fighters. He is a good receiver, and slips across little in return. In picking Tendler for his opening bout the fans claim he started in at the wrong end of his bookings, as Tendler is a real challenger for Benny Leonard’s crown When Papin arrived in this country he was accompanied by Jules Lanaers Belgian middleweight champion and sparring partner for Georges Carpentier. All three boxers are under the management of Francois Deschamps.

GAMBLING IN EARLY YEARS OF BASEBALL

Intimately Identified With Game in the Late Sixties. Much Harm Was Done to Sport by Progenitor* of Present-Day Followers of Race Track Through Element of Chance. The old Cincinnati team was the pioneer salaried club of baseball, though there is a conflict in authorities as to the exact year In which the team went under salary, Edwin writes in Leslie's. In the Spalding official, baseball guide the year ij given as 1868, while Albert G. Spalding, in his book of memoirs, “Baseball.” gives the year, as 1869, and cites enough detail to make it evident that the latter date is correct. Anyway, it was in 1869 that the Red Stockings made their phenomenal record. The official records give 81 games won, none lost, and one tied withj.he Haymakers of Troy, N. Y. There is no doubt about the tie game and that no contests were lost, but both Mr. Spalding and Harry Wright, the heads of the team, give 56 as the total of games won. From ancient baseball lore, particularly the reminiscences of Mr. Spalding, who played a leading role in putting the game on Its feet, later saving it from the gambling and commercial element, and did much to popularize American sports generally, it is gleaned that gambling was intimately identified with the game in the late sixties, much harm being done to the sport by the progenitors of the present-day followers of the racetracks and other places affording opportunity for financial gain through the element of chance.

PLAYERS PAY FOR GRUB Prior to 1882 the players were assessed 50 cents a board while on the road anathat came pretty close to paying for the food they got. Imagine a big leaguer of today digging into his pocketbook for the cost of the meals he consumes today—about a dollar and a half for a little ham and eggs in the morning and two or three dollars for a piece of beef at the dinner session! Why, a bowl of noonday soup costs 50 cents now.

At half-past eleven Mr. Stone retired. In a few minutes the telephone rang, and he hurried downstairs to find that there was no one on the line. He had just snuggled into his warm bed when the telephone rang again, and he answered it a second time. It proved to be a man who wished to interest him in a new automobile. When the conversation was ended, the caller said, “I hope I have not inconvenienced you?” “Not at all,” said Mr. Stone. “I was sitting right in front of the telephone thinking that some one might call me up.”—Youth’s Companion.

SIX HONEST SERVING MEN The famous poet, Rudyard Kipling, wrote the following verses: “I have six honest serving men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When, And How and Where and Who.” The same six honest serving men can teach you, too, all that you should know: What? Triner’s American Elixir of Bitter Wine. Why? Because it’s the best remedy for all stomach troubles. When? Before meals and at bed time. How? According to directions on the bottle. Where? At your druggist or dealer in medicines. Who? Joseph Triner Company, 1333-45 S. Ashland Ave., Chicago, 111., guarantees the purity, invariable uniformity and superlative quality of this remedy as well as of all other excellent Triner’s preparations: Triner’s Angelica Bitter Tonic, which restores the exhausted energy and braces up the nerves; Triner’s Liniment for rheumatism, neuralgia, lumbago, etc.; Triner’s Antiputrin, a highly efficient gargle, mouth wash and cleanser of wounds, - — —— -

EARNED LESSON OF THRIFT

3oys and Girls of New Jersey Town Have Made Record of Which They Are Proud. If there has been less talk of the servant problem in Bridgeton, New Jersey, than elsewhere, it is quite exalainable. Not to be outdone by their European sisters and brothers in matters of thrift and Industry, 25 youngrters in that town have invested SI,OOO n United States thrift stamps this .■•ear, thanks to their own hard work. Boys and girls alike have welcomed opportunities of doing remunerative lishwashing, sweeping, dusting, store jlerking, baby-minding, errand-run-ning, etc., with the goal of economy symbolized by government stamps ahead of them. The more ambitious have undertaken cutting weeds, carryng coal, sifting ashes, selling papers, raising chickens, cleaning pavements, and some have even won prizes to add to their savings. Having found that time can be converted into money it is doubtful whether these boy- will again and the street corner a worthwhile place for spending idle hours, or the prls be content to waste periods in porch chatter.

NOBLE RELICS OF THE PAST

Triumphal Arch of Titus, at Rome, and the COlosseum, Are Splendid in Their Ruin. . The triumphal arch of Titus In Rome was built in 70 A. D., to commemorate the defeat of .he Jews, and was dedicate’, to the Emperoz Titus after his death. It is adorned with fine sculptures in relief. On the frieze outside is a sacrificial procession and on the Inner side Titus is seen :rowned by Victory in a quadriga driven by Roma. On another part of the arch is a triumphal procession of Jews, the Table of Shew Bread and the sevenbranched candlestick. In the center of the vaulting the consecrated emperor is seen being carried to heaven by an eagle. , . In 1882 the arch was a set of ruins, and some of the medieval additions were removed and it was partly reconstructed. The colosseum, with seats for 50,000 spectators, originally called the Flavian amphitheater, was completed by Titus in the year 80 A. D., and derives its later name, probably, from a colossal statue of Nero. The colosseum is now all in ruins.
