Although Madras has been brought up in the Greco-Roman style of wrestling he quickly adapted himself to the more skillful catch-as-catch can method used in this country when he came here. As a result he is well equipped to take on the giant Pole, who ranks as one of the great est wrestlers of all time. Both men have agreed to the terms outlined by Sergeant Maxwell Baumann, who is promoting the match. The struggle will be best two out of three falls and a bout filled with hair-raising thrills is promised. Sergeant Baumann. who is a former wrestler and who taught wrestling and in-fightlng at Camp ! Dix, will act as thq third man in the ring. Baumann wired to both Zbyszko and Ed (Strangle! - ) Lewis so that he would be sure to have either one of the topnotchers in the country here for the opening bout, and was inclined to think he would be more likely to get Lewis. But at the last moment it was discovered that Lewis had another engagement so Zbyszko was accordingly secured. Each of these two noted wrestlers has recently won a victory over Joe Stecher. As Madras is very anxious for a match with Lewis as well as Zbyszko, the match here should prove a wonderful fight as the win ner is sure to have first choice in a coming match with Lewis. ! sponded generously to the call for finances to the extent that there is never a collection taken at any of the games for the benefit of the league.

Washington, March 11,—Several • Government departments have un , der consideration the organization of a board to hear cases involving disputes over rates between local authorities and street car. gas and , 'electric companies and other public utilities and to make recommenda -1 tions. No legal power woud be sought to provide for the carrying out of this recommendation, de v pendance being placed upon moraf influence. The proposal was discussed with President Wilson before his depar ture for Europe and his approval was asked. Some announcement of the Government's course is expected soon. The need for some sort of Fed eral action to stimulate the consid eration by local authorities of util ities' applications for higher rates, grows out of the fact that wages and costs of materials still are ris ing, and in many cases higher wages have been granted at the or der of the War Labor Board. City councils, utilities commissions and other local authorities have been slow to act on applications for higher rates to meet increased op erating costs, according to reports, to the War Finance Corporation, ] War Labor Board and Labor De-! partment.

Rec ommendations of the Navy Depart ment that six additional battle cruis ers be authorized were stricken from the naval bill "in the last Congress, because of the disagreement between naval officers as to the kind of capi tal ship that should be built in the light of the lessons gained in the war.

Joe says a trick turned by Miller has never been accomplished by any other fighter in the history of boxing, that is to grow large and good enough to defeat two men that were responsible for his fath er's downfall in boxing after having a record surpassed by few knights of the ring. In 1910 while Barrett was conducting boxing bouts at the old Monumental theater In Baltimore, formerly the Em pire burlesque house, Barrett says lie [ had charge of the late Terry Martin, i who was setting the world afire with his fighting ability. Barrett was prim ing Martin for a match with Harry Lewis, of Philadelphia, who then held the welterweight championship. Mar tin was meeting all comers at 23 years of age. His father, who was named Herman, liad retired one year previous, and after a show one night, in which Martin gave the famous Iron Man, Joe Grim, the worst trimming of his career, Barrett with sevgral other managers and fighters, were seated in the Theo dore Hotel, talking things over. Miller's father being one of the party, started jibing Barrett, as to Martin's, ability and the conversation became heated. Miller's father offered to enter the game again and box Martin, winner take #ll, and nothing else could Bar rett do but accept the challenge. The match was made to take place three weeks later. When the men entered the ] ring it was noticed that the elder man had lost none of his cleverness, but dur ing the course of a gruelling fight, youth told on Miller. In the father's corner was a lad of 12 years, the present Her man Miller. During the fight, young Herman, being a pugnacious little fel low, kept yelling: "Pap, I will get this big dub for you, when I make his weight," and those pt the ringside had trouble to keep the present Herman from taking a crack at Martin while on his way to the dressingroom. After Martin had stopped his man In the fifth round, nothing could keep young Herman from following his father's footsteps, and he had a varied career. At the end of 1914 Barrett left Baltimore with a string of boxers on a tour, among tliem was the present Her man, having taken the name after his father—young Herman Miller. The youngster was then 16 years old and quick to learn, and being possessed of the heart of a lion, and very strong. So he quickly advanced, and Barrett started boxing shows in Tork. At this time Charlie Collins, the much-touted middleweight of Columbia, was the king in those parts, Miller and Collins, were matched in which Her man's first fight of Importance, and the youngster surprised everyone by beat ing Collins In a gruelling battle, at the age of 17 Herman was matched with Leo Houck in Lancaster, being sick at the time and too game to put the pro moters in bad by calling off the match, Miller went against the muoh heavier Houck, but his strength gave out and Houck won in six rounds, then Miller went, after getting well, along the line beating K. O. Harry Baker, Fay Kelser, Jack Fitzgerald, fought draws with Jackie Clark, Harry Grebb, and others until he was matched with Leo Houck again, in September 19, 1917, in Jfprk; this time the bout was declared a draw, but after reading the newspaper clip ping of the battle, in Barrett's posses sion, a gruelling one, it is plainly seen that Miller beat Houck; shortly after this, Barrett received word from the one man young Herman wanted to get back at for beating his father, that was Terry Martin. Martin's words were give Miller to me, Joe, I will make a record of stopping both father and son, when shown the letter no fighter was ever better than this same youngster, and his words to his manager, then Joe Barrett, were I will fight Martin for a biscuit, and the match was made. It was for ten rounds. Miller "having sent for his daddy to help second him, and that night Miller's dad had the pleasure of seeing his offspring make good his boast four years previous in Baltimore, when Martin beat his father. After the Martin bout, the elder Herman didn't feel satisfied that his ca reer was ended in the ring, and sought a match with Kid Wittman, of Balti more, who at the time was the best mid dleweight in the South. This bout ended in the second round, when old Herman was knocked off with Wittman's famous left, which had sent at least twenty as piring youngsters to dreamland. Young Herman after beating Martin, asked Barrett to match him with which Barrett did, the bout coming off at the Gayety Theater in Baltimore. The youngster knocked "Wittman dead in the second round. After the bout, young Herman said, "Now I .am satis fied, Pop, I have got them both, Martin and "Wittman, so I feel better." These two victories made young Her man in his native town, and he was matched with Jeff Smith, before the American A. C. in Baltimore. The bout was the best seen in Baltimore for months, both men going at it hammer and tongs, until Miller was disqualified for hitting Smith a low punch. Smith is the claimant of the world's middle weight title, and is the only man who ever knocked out the late Lea Darcey, of Australia, and is now matched with the winner of the bout next Wednesday. As Miller requested Barrett to se cure Smith, if he is successful in beat ing Wolgast, he wants to wipe out the stain he has on his record by fouling Smith. Herman lias three other brothers. In the fighting game, and when they are matched In and around Baltimore, their names run like this on the card for Identification, Herman Miller, first; Herman Miller, the second; Herman Miller, the third, and Herman Miller, the fourth, and the daddy of them all is generally seen in each one's corner giving them advice. Barrett, the vet eran promoter and Miller's dad are no strangers, as they have fought just nine battles together during their long ca reer, with honors about even, in fact Barrett's last bout was with Miller's father In Savannah.

RATHER EAT DIRT THAN FIGHT AGAIN Vice President Marshall Ex presses Opinion on League of Nations By Associated Press Phoenix, Ariz., March 11.—Voic ing his personal performane to "eat a little dirt rather than to have an other war." and declaring with re gard to the League of Nations that since the day of Washington's stand against entangling alliances "times have changed," Thomas R. Marshall, vice-president of the United States, yesterday gave his views to a joint session of the Arizona legislature. Vice-President Marshall disclaim ed any intention to campaign for the league, but asserted that America was faced with the choice either of joining in some plan to prevent fu ture wars or of preparing immediate ly for the next outbreak. "While X would be forever against anything which would besmirch the honor of our iiag or lessen the grand •ness and glory of the American peo ple. I am convinced that we are facing a new era and that things must be different in the future," Mr. Marshall said. "We have piled up an enormous debt: spent billions on useless en gines of war to kill our fellowmen, and for myself I have seen so many of our boys come back shattered and know of so many others who will not come back, that I would rather eai a little dirt than have another war. On the other hand there are certain great questions for which it would be better to light, and if I thought there was anything in this I.eague of Nations to lower the self respect of the United States, then I would rather fight; but I do not think there is."

Chamberlain, chairman of the Sen ate committee on military affairs,! sharply criticised court martial pro- j cedure in an address before the Unit ed Waist League of America here yesterday. "These sentences are imposed ab solutely without any system in the administration of the criminal laws of the land," he said, "and they are really imposed at the order of the commanding officer because if the court makes a ruling which is un popular to the commanding offlcer he will order the court reconvened i and in some cases issue instructions to it." Referring to long sentences which had been imposed for slight infrac tions of the rules Senator Chamber lain said that "these boys know that an injustice has been done them and it wtll not increase their respect for the government."
