War is always tragedy; we think of that side of it first, usually. But long after its tragic elements have been softened by time, its heroisms arc a flaming memory. This is as it should be; for the tragedy is a matter of events and of time; but heroism is a spiritual and eternal force. The nation still celebrates Memorial Day, paying our tribute to heroism; there will never come a time, we hope, when such a day, and such homage, will be discontinued.

i'unny Brief. Bunny Brief, star firstsaeker of the Salt Lake club in the Pacific Coast league, has been secured by the Pittsburg Pirates in the hopes that he will end their first base worries.

portunity and failed, it behooves him to speed up tonight or give up hope. It is hardly probable Welsh ever will consent to a twenty-round title tilt with the slugging Ieonard, for he has just as good chance to make a lot of money by meeting Kilbane over the marathon route and has hardly the same chance of being dropped, for he is fast enough to keep Kilbane, a much smaller man, at a safe distance most of the time. Leonard's weight, which i3 within a few pounds of Welsh's, would help him to gain advantages that Kilbane wouid have to work harder for. The bout will be a whirlwind affair; there isn't a chance to make a mistake on that point. Leonard's cleverness, his tireless energy and the terrific sjfing of hi nunches will make W!mh tangle

up his legs in trying tn outrun the challenger. Leonard undoubtedly realizes that he is out to make or break himself, and that will help speed up the entertainment. A loss for Leonard would put him back six months as a money-making-boier. He would have a lot of prestige to regain, and it is doubtful if he ever again would reach the heights he now commands. Betting, in view of Kilbane's recent easy victory over Welsh, is all in favor of the New York lightweight, odds of S to o being freely quoted. Some bets have been made that Leonard will stop the champion.
