many right and left hooks which the
Plltsburgher stopped with Vila face nnd

At the beginning of each round Johnny
would leave his corner with splendid In- t
tentions that of boxing his onnonent.
But ho would forget his manager's In- i
structlons ond In a few seconds would
cover up a3 before and nllow Chaney
to set himself for a series of hook-.
In the second round Chaney ran Into
one of Hay's straight-armed Jabs and
his nose began to bleed. The Injured
member continued to bleed freely
throughout the remainder of the net,
which I? no credit to Itay, for It takes
only a punch now and then to keep the
red liquid flowing In a steady stream
In closing let It be stated that Hay took
a terrific body lacing and showed his
first nnd only burst of speed when he
vaulted the ropes when the final bell
rounded.
Semifinal Good Draw
The semlwindup netuein Kddit
Wngond, ot this city, nnd Terry Brooks,
of Boston, resulted in a draw. Both
were Instructed to take their time in
Ilir cany rounds and try to land n
knockout through a single blow. As a
result, each made many wild swings.
In the second frame Eddie caught Terry
on the Jaw with one of his sledgeham
mer wallops, but the Bostonlan weath
ered the storm and In the next round
illumed for more.
BUh were out to win by the K O.
route In the final round nnd the battlers
at times couldn't be seen for the sev
eral hundred arms which appeared to
be flying about the air. Wngond stopped
one of Brooks's wallops with his Jaw
nnd for a second It looked as though he
was due for a doze vn the canvas. It
was a good fight, but the clubmen would
have been more satisfied If all the ac
tion hadn't been confined to the last
round.
Phil Bloom outclassed Al Wagner In the
third bout. Wagner going down for tho
count of five In the first round. In tho

dercrlbe the present food shortage, tho

lions with the callous selfishness ot

MACK OILS UP

Connie Finds His New
Players in Receptive
Mood
pressed by the disposition to get down
to hard , work shown by Scott Perry,
the big hurler purchased from Atlanta.
Perry has missed no opportunity to do
everytning possible to hasten his con
dltlon. As a matter of fact, he started
too strong and Mack was obliged to
admonish lilm to hold himself In. Yes
terday Perry worked like a horse morn
lng and afternoon. He is a little stiff
and sore all over and wants to work It
out of his system as soon as possible.
He has Informed Mack that he wants
to be the first man on the team to pitch

TILDEN WINS
HARD MATCH
Jacksonville, Fla., April -.
Being without a regular gamo yes-
ttrday Manager Mack determined to
Inaugurate a course of Instructions
looking to thep laying of the finer points
ef the game. Up to tho present ho has
fiver) ho consideration whatever to "in
tide ball." preferring to teach funda-
menttls to those who required Instruc
tion along those lines and nllow the
lltytrs to gain reasonably fit condition
btfore Instituting a course In technique.
In the old days the famous Mack ma
chines were known far and wide for
their ability to dec-elVA thn. nnnn.qltlon.
flo pull off Inside stuff when the other
team was least expecting It Of course,
u l conceded that Mack used players
fitted mechanically and mentallv tn ner-
jfarm such stunts In the days that were,
Bi and they usually nerformed thn most
Klntrleate of baseball problems In an easy
'rid perfect manner.
Uurllngton, N. J., Joined the Mack forces
last night. HU name Is Moore. He
has had no more than semlpro experi
ence, but Mack believes he has picked
up a find in tho young Jerseyman. Moore
has worlted out under the observing
gaze of Mack. Last fall he was fre
quently at Shlhe Park for practice, nnd
from what Mack saw of him tiien ho
believes the youngster has the makings
of a good pitcher.
It Is not Mack's Intention to use him
In any games, but he wants ti relieve
his older pitchers of the necessity of
pitching to the batters in practice. It
will devolve upon Moore to do most of
this work for the remaining time down
here and while on the road.

To this nvemge golfer, neither an ag

of putting little rlty boys between the

She Sought the
Soul of Russia
Although an American, Louise Bryant determined to learn
the truth about conditions in and around Petrograd. She knew
that superficial investigations or interviews with persons who
had left Russia would be entirely inadequate.
So she went to Russia last September and remained until
February of the present year. While there she dressed like a Rus
sian, she acted like a Russian, she lived like a Russian, seeking a
comprehensive view of the end for which the nation groped. Her
story
"Six Red Months In Russia"
tells of her experiences during the days when chaos ruled how
she met Kerensky and Lenine, Madame Kollentai and the
Countess Panina how she was fired on from an armored car
during the street fighting how she witnessed the red burial at

turned home a few weeks ago with the biggest story that ever
came out of Russia.

the true soul of Russia will ap
