LAST BELL TOLLS
Tilden Finds Beautiful Ladies
In Cafe Audience an Aid to Art
WILBl'R, Wash., Dec. 26. iPt
-Michael (Silent) Rowan, 54, whose
leather-knuckled maulles fllck.'d
the chins of many would-be lightweight-
champions more than !
years ago, fought hlit last fight last
night in a pool hall here.
As thp bell sounded for the end
of the third round In nn exhibition
contest with his brother John, tlie
veteran of thousands of battlea
crumpled to the floor and his hem
tttopped beating. The two men,
who for many years have "played"
Hinall towns in the exhibition box
ing matches, staged an impromptu
contest in the pool hall here, the
Kate to be whatever coins the on
lookers cared to toss into the
"ring." A preliminary examination
by physicians Indicated that the
fighter had succumbed to hc,;rt
disease.
"Old-timers" said that Silent and
his brother had heen high in the
light weight and featherweight
eludes 30 yer.rs ago. They had
been touring the west, and spent
the summer In the vicinity of Salt
I,ake. lloth men were deaf mutes.
LONDON. Dec. Lti. (A Hill
Tilden, the restaurant entertainer,
has at hm found an audience toj
suit Bill Tilden. the sometime ten-j
tils player.
For Big Bill liked the Job he has
recently completed, that of enter-
tainlng late diners at one of Lon
don's smart restaurants, "very j
much." j
j It Is all very different having;
j his audience almost on top of him t
Instead of at n careful distance
j in bleachers behind a wire screen, j
But he accustomed himself to it1
j nhd even learned to enjoy thej
j beautiful 'lady sitting at a ringside
table under his left elbow. ' !
j "They were very nice, these peo-i
pie who came to eat and remained j
! to listen to my monologue," said'
the recent aetiuisition t0 th ranks
of variety. "They were quiet and
interested mid gave me their full
attention.
"Personally I think they are the
best audience I have ever found.
W hen I diil 'a" long swing on the
vaudeville circuit nt home I found
the audience very hard to work
with. Thty were gathered from
too many varied sources; they
weren't as sophisticated as these,
and a one-man net like mine has
to have u one-purposed audience
to play to for the best results."
A tennis audience, said Hill, wjt
simply an accidental adjunct ti a
good match. - They just happened
to be there, like the center court
and the hot dog stands around the
grounds.

HEAVY SLUG FEST
NEW YORK, Dec. 26. As
Tuffy Griffith and Johnny Risko
tapered off their training today in
preparation for tomorrow night'
heavyweight boxing fracas at Madi
son Square Garden, Griffith at 111
was regarded as the favorite at
odds of something like 7 to, 5.1
Many close followers of boxing,
however, fell the Cleveland baker I
boy might again spring one of the!
upsets for which he is famous.
The tough Sioux City, Iowa, bat
tler, unimpressed, continued pum
meling his sparring partners at
nnother New York gymnasium.
Griffith has not drawn as mm-ii
attention in training as llisko. hut
has given signs of rounding into
top form, and when Tuffy Ls right

A iuick-witted tele:ini-.r,e .;,(.! a'.or
in a leading dowrfioVn hotel was
credited today with foiiittir an at
tempt hy a woman to leap from (he
fourth floor of the nostelry.
For some time Miss Kstclla Pen
dleton, telephone operator, noticed
that Mrs. Roy. Warren had been
despondent. Mrs. Warren, according-
to the girl, many times had
asked if she had received a lmi,r
distance telephone call from her
husband In Sun Krancisi-o. Kadi
time the telephone operator an
swered "no." .
Au employe of the W e s t e r n
1'nion Telegraph company, directly
across the street from the hotel,
saw Mrs. Warren perched on the
window sill and called Miss Pen
dleton by telephone. The operator
Immediately called Mrs. Warren's
room and delayed her on the pre
text of a long distance call from
San Kranciscn while two male em
ployes of the hotel hastened to the
room.
CHICAGO, Dec. -. tVl- Santa
Clans stories are not of much ac
count December LY.. Folks don't
feel just the same about the jolly
old fellow the day after.
Still, in a way. it In no more
than right to tell about the Santa
Claus who is held in jail under the
name of James Buck. To overlook
this would, likely as. not, he pass
ing the buck.
Mr. Hack, or Santa Claus ns he
chose to designate himself, was
climbing through the window ol a
home on Hartray nvetiue last night
with a pack on his back. Hy a
strange freak of late a policeman
observed him. lie pulled Buck out
of the window ami impured Wiat
was the Idea. ;
"I am Santa Claus," said Buck. !
"My friends who live lure are !
away and 1 thought I would seize'
the opportunity to slip In the win- i
dow and deposit gifts about the!
piace.
"You may," said Ofliccr Sachs, j
"be Kama Clans to little children,!
hut yotrro just n suspicious char
acter to me."
There was not denying that Santa
l ad some nice presents In his bag. ;
i It was not surprising; for, he later,
explained to poilceiuen. the pros-
