The easy ones are always the hard est, said Pal Moore, the Memphis, Tenn, bantamweight, yesterday as he started to work out for about 15 rounds In preparation for his ten round bout against Billy Mascott on the Elks card at the armory tonight. tie was determined to be in Brood con, dition and figured that the only way he could be would be to train. So he worked like a trojan, although it was the day before the scrap and a day on which boxers usually take things Billy Mascott, one of the classiest boys at his weight on the Pacific coast, will have his big opportunity against Moore. Billy has taken on suite a bit of age waiting for this big opportunity. They say opportunity knocks but once at a man's door, so ft is up to Mascott to make the best of the old saying.

Lo Bell will receive the acid test with Muff Bronson. They are down to go eight rounds but the fans are predicting less. Johnny Bosco vitch will give away quite a lot of weight to Jack Edmundson and try to prove be is the best man. "Race horse" Roberts meets Johnny Wade in the six-round curtain raiser. The Bobby Harper-Frankie Rogers match, which was slated for Seattle next Wednesday night, is off. Harper had never signed for the bout and figured that he should be pitted against a better known man when he returned to his home town. Joe Gor man will box Johnny Fiske four rounds in Seattle as originally sched uled unless another change is made. The action of the Seattle boxing commission in forcing all of the pro moters to show in the Pavilion is creating a hardship both on the pro moters and the fans. It is impossible to arrange seats so that everyone can get a good view of the fights and posts holding up the celling cluster around the ring. The capacity is lim ited and when a scrap of any promi nence is billed it is necessary to charge a stiff price in order to get anywhere near the money necessary . to pay off..

Sims, who commanded the American naval forces in the war sone during the last two years of the world war, told Admiral Beatty, commander of the British grand fleet, and a distinguished assemblage of British and American naval men and other prominent persons today that the British had been disposed to give the American navy too much credit for the part it played in the allied victory. In an address at a luncheon given by the Pilgrims) society In his honor. Admiral Sims said: "The British grand fleet was the keystone Itt the allied arch, without which yon in this country would to day would be. speaking German, with a very strong English accent.' Admiral Sims waved aside personal tributes from Admiral Beatty and Lord Desborpugh, asserting that had the command of the American naval forces in Europe been entrusted to one of the 40 or 50 other American officers eligible in rank, the result would virtually have been the same.

He called Admiral Sims "the father of gunnery," and testified to the absence of friction and the hearty co-operation which had marked the relations of the per sonnel of the two navies. Admiral Beatty was deeply in debted to Admiral Sims' -support while in command of the grand fleet, and he presented his American col league as "our very good and old friend." Admiral Sims, in responding, said that when America entered the war things on the European aide were "in a pretty desperate" state. "The help we gave," he continued, "was that which comes of the free masonry of the sea." Admiral Sims said the Americans liked the British because they played the game straight, no matter how underhanded was the enemy. He said he reeretted the question of destruc tion of the enemy never arose, "for the enemy never came out to be de stroyed. While commanding in Europe, Ad miral Sims declared, he regarded the American forces "as reserves coming up from the rear." He paid a tribute to England as a land of personal lib. erty. where he. knew he could get drink of any kind he wanted if he came to England 50 years hence. Montana 4, Idaho 3. MliSSOULT.

"Rubber dropped from nearly a dollar down to 18 cents per pound. Cotton broke from 40 cents to 12 cents a pound. It is said that 40,000 people moved away from Akron, the great tire-making city, due to lack of work there. And there, with everything at the low mark, was the oppor tunity we are always looking for. With cash in hand we were enabled to secure a great concession in price from the manu facturers and these unheard-of low prices on high-grade tires are the result.
