little trouble. So the bout ptogressed for
txvo rounds and n few seconds, but the un
expected occurred shortly after the begin
ning of the third round. Ilosner had been
missing xxith wallops that started from his
knees. Tuber easily evaded these wild
swings, but Joe was caught with one that
appeared to come from the floor and Tuber
was knocked down. Some one said It was
the first tlino Joe had been flooied. He
xx-as dead out on the ropes and the shock
of falling to the floor evidently revived the
youngster. He gamely staggered to his
feet at nine, but Tuber xvas "through." He
xvas floored again and the third time Joe
xvas counted nut, his first kifockout In about
four years of boxing. Surprises seldom

The llayonne ifgatta. to be rowed on New

Is at present looming large among local
Knights of the ashen hlade. New York
regattas alwdys have been xvell patronised

tries assume laiger proportions than exer
on account of the stewards of the regatta
changing the course from the ciowded
waters of the Harlem Itlxer to the unenti
gested course on Nexxaik Hay.
Kelly at Head
The biggest delegation of local oaismen
xvho will wage xvar with the Gotham
blades will be lecrulted from the ranks of
the scullers. The list will be headed by
"lion Man" Jack K'eJy. who xvlll row for

units. Tom Itoonev. the ftaxensxxooil ciacls
and present champion single sculler of the
Cnlted States.
Although fSooney has enlisted In the
Naxal Coat P.eerxes It Is thought that
he may still he able to compete In the re
gatta. Kelly has been training hard since
earlv In the season, lie l.s using a new
single shell, especially built for hlm. nnd
Is being coached hy Joe Dempsey, xvho
hns riex eloped many of the best scullers
ever turned out by the Schuylkill navy.
A number of other Vesper crews xvlll also
he found on the firing line on Memorial
Day.
The I'ndine Barge Club also will make a
number of entries In the sculling class.
"Matt" I.ukeiis, the Vndine flash, who came
to the fore so rapidly last season, has
donned his rowing togs again nnd Is row

of Coach llunth, In P.unth'o s'rlng also

Malta Races
The Malta schedule calls for thiee scull
Ing crexvs to cioss blades with the Nexv

Coach Marsh to enter the New Yoik laces,
and Brown and Pettlt also will take a try

One of the latest additions to the crexvs
training dally on the Schuylkill Is the
senior four-oared shell crexv of the L'ni
verslty Barge Club. The ciew- xvas unde.
feated last season, and in 1915 xx-as the
champion crew of the Cnlted States. The
crew Is seated Nalle, how j Whitman, '1
Thayer, 3, and Hoffman, sttoke. Hoffman

In the association single race.
Commodore .1 Klllolt New lln Is about th

Experience
Back of this season's new Over
land Big Fours and Light Sixes
are a direct line of nine preced
ing models from which they
were developed.
They directly continue the line of
models that made the Overland
name stand in the public mind
for integrity of value.
Overland policy has steadfastly
sustained that integrity of value
in the car throughout its entire
service in the hands of owners.
Over three hundred thousand of
these cars are now in use and
the helpful suggestions of their
owners and of the more than
four thousand dealer and factory-branch
organizations that
sold and served them, are largely
responsible for the balanced
greatness of this season's Big
Fours and Light Sixes.

What GritT Says
"The plan to raise p fund by popular sub
scription to furnish soldiers in camp xxith
baseballs, gloves, uniforms, etc.," says Grif
fith, "should bo encouraged by all good
Americans. If one peison In 1000 will con
tribute txventy-llve cents, ns asked, a big
fund can be raise.
"Baseball Is one nf the gi cutest and most
healthful ot games, and xxith soldiers en
abled to play It In their spare time, there
xvlll be less sickness in camps and the le
ci lilts xvlll be better roldlers by teuson of
playing tho same. Baseball will servo as a
real recieatlon for men with their minds
Their new beauty," their perfected
easy riding qualities, their
proven sturdincss and mechan
ical excellence, their admitted
tire, fuel and oil economy make
them worthy of the confidence
we enjoy, that they will still
further enhance Overland pres
tige. They embody the wisdom of the
unmatched Overland experience
in building cars of this type.
They arc dominant values, cars of
proven dependability and ster
ling worth.
As long as we have them for de
livery before May 1st, the prices
arc S850 for the Big Four, S985
for the Light Six thereafter
