EVENING DRESS WORN BY GERMANS

WHO FLOCK TO PRIZE FIGHTS

'By Associated Press) BERLIN, Dec. 20. Professional prize fighting and wrestling, introduced Into Germany since the war, have won popularity and are looked upon as social functions as well as an amusement. Men and women who occupy the highest prices seats appear in formal evening dress, although the management may not prescribe such tittlre. The development of the sport has been troubled with some perplexing incidents, for the German public, unaccustomed to "box-fighting," apparently has been unable to decide what its proper attitude should be on such occasions. Cheering, applauding with the hands, or any "rooting" or "ragrfng" is in high disfavor. At the first sign of approval from supporters of a boxer, sections of the audience rise and hiss the "rooter" down. The patrons insist everything shall be perfectly quiet. When a fighter is crowned with a laurel wreath, or a wreath of roses, or presented with a big bouquet, and proclaimed a victor, it is quite proper to

applaud, decorously. Admirers of the winner shower him with bunches of flowers, and the referee makes a speech acclaiming the prowess of the fighter, as well as explaining just how he won the victory. An effort is made to adhere to the American description of blows and maneuvers. Frequently at the end of a round, when a boxer has got in a telling stroke, the referee harangues the audience with a description of the blow and what its effect was intended to be. Flowers for Victor. A number of fairly well advertised foreign fighters have appeared here, but these "principal" events are always preceded by preliminaries between German boxers. The Germans are not yet mat?rs of the technique

of the game but their ability to take punishment is beyond question. In one preliminary bout the correspondent saw a German boxer knock down Us opponent twice In one round and before the close of the round he himself was twice floored, and both fightrrs were badly battered. Through the whole bout the crowd was silent, but applauded the victor who, the referee announced had won on points. Each fighter was presented with a big bunch of roses. The principal event on this occasion was a fight between an English and a Turkish heavyweight. It was announced the fight would go 15 rounds, but after a few rounds the referee made a speech o the fighters from the ring in which he said in his opinion there was too much jumping and dodging around and unless they got down to fighting in earnest he would stop the match. A the end of the fourteenth round the referee held a conference with the promoters and officials of the Professional Box Fighters' Association, and announced it had been decided to stop the fight. He said it had been agreed it was a frame-up, and that the boxers would be disqualified from fighting again, would be expelled from the association and would not be paid for this fight. The crowd applauded and the boxers left the house. Later one of the fighters brought action against the boxing association for damages and reinstatement. His

Suburban

counsel, in a brief in which he explained at length the principles of prixe-gighting, declared these men

were both "defensive" and not offensive fighters, that each had awaited for the other to take the offensive and neither having done so there wasn't much of a fight ALICANTE. Spain. Dec. 19. Fostering of athletic sports should be taken up by the State in Spain, according to Marcelo Agudo, one of the leading supporters of athletics here. He has drawn up a program, which he suggests should be adopted. In it he proposed that schoolmasters should encourage sports by giving facilities to the pupils to practice and to form clubs, also by establishing prizes through donations or subsidies. Athletic tracks and fields laid out near the schools are suggested with fixed days and hours for the sports and games. In order to attract novices, who generally are prevented by fear of ridicule from entering sports where practicsed athletics are engaged, he

i thinks the masters should have a

regular system of novices' events and also should arrange for consolation prizes to be awarded for the best performances. In order to bring up the general average of excellence he be

lieves team work should be encouraged rather than individual pre-eminence. STOCKHOLM. Nov. 29. Bobby McLean, the American champion skater, having challenged Oscar Mathiesan, the world's champion, to a series of races, has asked the Swedish Skating Association to authorize and make arrangements for the match to be held here, but the association at a meeting recently unanimously refused to do this and also refused to forward McLean's challenge to the Swedish amateur champion, Eric Blomgren, on the grounds that the association was working purely- on amateur lines.

Five monuments made from an identical design, are to mark the crest of the advances made on the French fronts by the First American Division in its five most important attacks. They are now completed and ready to be set up. They are seven feet high and the bases are concrete pillars surmounted by a shell on which is the American eagle. Bronze plates bear the names of the officers and men of the division killed in the attack for which each memorial stands. The monuments will be set up at Cantigny.

High Quality and Low Price

That's What "Brass Tacks" Means

WE could offer you a Player-Piano for less than the LowestPriced Gulbransen. But you would be sorry some day and that's not our idea of getting down to "Brass Tacks." We have gone over the Player-Piano industry with a fine tooth comb and a magnifying glass to find the lowest priced instrument that is safe for you to buy. It wasn't easy. There are sham Player-Pianos just like there are sham people. But we know quality. And we tell you, with all our reputation behind the statement, if you want "Brass Tacks" value in a Player-Piano Buy the Lowest-Priced Gulbransen This is the only Player-Piano we know and we know them all which is mostly high priced in its component parts and yet offered at a low price. That sounds peculiar but it is easy to understand. This Lowest-Priced Gulbransen comes from the same factory as the " millionaires' " model Gulbransen at $750. They are built side by side. They are different, but in things you probably don't care about. Many of the parts are identical in both instruments. Not even the workmen know which part is going into which priced instrument until just before assembly. Of course you'd expect such a Player-Piano to be handsome beautifully designed finely finished. You will not be disappointed. You will be especially delighted with its playing ease and sweet singing tone. You will admit that we are down to "Brass Tacks "that this Lowest-Priced Gulbransen is the best value in the world today.

Easyto Play

You've heard of the Gulbransen." Everybody knows the little Baby at the Pedals. But perhaps you don't know the Baby is something more than a trade mark. It is the picture of an incident that has happened in thousands of homes a suggestion of the outstanding quality of the Gulbransen "Easy to Play." The moment your feet touch the pedals of this amazing instrument you realize you are playing a different sort of player-piano from any you ever played before. It just gets into sympathy with you, helps you, inspires you to play like a true musician. You do not have to pump hard or pedal fast Gulbransen exquisite "pedal-touch" is so delightfully restful, yet you can "just make this piano talk," it is so responsive. Nationally Priced Think a minute. You realize that ability to give best value depends on big volume and small profits. The Gulbransen is the product of the greatest player-piano factory in the world making nothing but Player-Pianos, under only one name, and with a capacity of 30,000 instruments annually. Quality standardization has been kept up as in no other factory. And to secure volume, "Brass Tacks" price standardization is a fixed policy. Gulbransen prices must be on a "Brass Tacks" basis because they compete with all sorts of player-pianos at all sorts of prices all over the U. S. This is the final proof that we give you best value. Three models, all playable by hand and by roll, sold at the same prices to everybody everywhere in the U. S., freight and war tax paid. White House Model, $750 . Country Seat Model, $660 Suburban Model, $595

THIS WEEK we are showing; a special selection of unusually handsome cases of the Lowest-Priced Gulbransen genuine Mahogany, Burl Walnut, three kinds of Oak, satin and mirror-polish finishes chosen for this "Brass Tacks " Sale. TODAY AND TOMORROW we are demonstrating the famous Martin Method instruction rolls, prepared for the Gulbransen Player by John Martin, the concert player-pianist. These rolls show you how your playing of the Gulbransen can be made to sound like expert hand-playing and it's easy! Come and hear.
