HISTORY OF LIFE
OF LUTE CilAMPiOn,
INTERESTING TALE
Downed by John Barleycorn
Ke Afterward Triumphed
Over His Appe&es
By H. C. Hamilton
(United Press staff correspondent)
Copyright, 1918, by the United Press
CHAPTER I
A history of the life of John t. Sul
livan must necessarily be a story of
great endeavor, of singularly applied
powrrs of concentration and achieve
ment and of romance and athas and
tragedy and comedy. For there never
was another liko the famous old glad
iator who died a few days ao in Mas
sachusetts. Tho rollicking tales of the
old pintles, the adventurous songs ot
tho caveman, tho thrilling romance of
early days in American history, and
the absorbing human interest of o
Mark Twain all are combined in the
illustrious life of the only man the
prizo ring ever produced who could
lay cla'im to such popularity as John
L. Sullivan.
A battler of men he was, and a bat
alor of good and bad liquor. Ho down
ed men in his best days and iu his
turn was downed by one of them. But
his triumph over John Barleycorn and
his neighbor, Fred X. Hangover were
I complete and lasting. For fourteen
years John L. liaa nor auowcu.
a taste of tho grape that Omar Khay
yam and somo others made famous. He
died, wholly clean and free from the
effects of his worst cnomy.
There is not a question in the minds
of tho older followers of pugilism but
that John L. would have retired an
undefeated champion hart ho trained
along tho more faithful line3 of some
of tho present day glove wielders. Sul
livan's strength was so crushing, bis
dashing energy so overpowering that
no man could stand up against him for
any length of time whilo ho was in
his prime- And when tho timo finally
came for him to be counted out on the
muddy, soggy turf at Richmond, Miss.,
with tho youthful and litho James J.
Oorbott standing over him, it was not
because he had been beaten down. It
was because tho shell of the once pow
erful fighting man had dropped irom
exhaustion- Even in Ins losing mo
ments ho had driven himself at top
smecl. straurht into the ripping and
cutting left hand jabs shot at him -By
Oorbott- His logs finally collapsed, re
fusing to function under such utter
exhaustion.
Tlio story of this wonderful ' old
fighter's life is an inspiration. It
brings au echo of endeavor that should
ring true to every youngster. To gaze
over tho history of Sullivan.'to follow
his struggles, first against poverty as
a tinsmith, plunder helper, tow boy,
then to fortune, faino, tho black bottle,
and again popularity and the retiring
life of a gentleman farmer, is enough
to make auy man know he cau win if
he applies himself,
Sullivan, a demon in tho ring, was
so only because ho had one object in
view victory. Ho was tho champion
and was frankly aware of it. Tho fact
meant one thing to him that lie ne
'must prove it when the opportunity
offered itself, just as quickly as he
could. Ho knew nothing of present day
'methods of champions to stand in a
ring and defend himself against a
knockout as long ns he could.
It was his honest, fairplny tactics
that, endeared him to the hearts of
American sport lovers. Wherever he
went he was greeted with cheers- No
sports champion before or since has
gained the following that mourned the
death of John L. Sullivan.
John L. Sullivan is dead, but he
leaves behind him the Marquis of
Jueensbury rules to govern chnmpion-
slup contests. He leaves tlio memory or
n true righting man who nateti ro
acknowledge his Inst defeat- He sleeps
in tho Massachusetts cemetery near
where he was bom, but his name will
over blaze on tho pages of pugilistic
history.
Former Busher Leader
of St. Louis Cardinals
Following is the eleventh of a serios
comparing the clubs of the two big
leagues.
By H. C. Hamilton
(United Press staff correspondent)
New York, Feb. 19. What of the
Cardinals, with Jack Hendricks, erst
while leader of a bush league team, at
tho holmt What is to become of this
great team of youngsters, built up to a
real factor in the last race through the
persevorence of Miller Huggins, now
mentor of the Yankees Will they con
tinue in ijie race, or will they accept
in passive fashion the advent of a
uow man, and slide down.
There is only one answer to the ques
tion. The Cardinals will bo in the race.
Possessed of a cleanup hitter of the
typo c,f Rogers Homsiby, owning1 a
staff of swme of the finest pitchers in
the land, backed by one of the finest
catchers iu baseball, the Cardinals are
up there to stay awhile. Indications
are it will Wo the Cardinals' who will
have most to say about who wins the
1918 pennant.
Some folks may point to the fact
that Hendricks will start without an
infield of any proportion, but stranger
things than that have happened to
bas"ball clulw without auy dangerous
results. If Jack proves capable " of
bridtriug- that yawning hole iu his in
field, it isn't at all impossible that he
will lead one of the world's series
teams next fall.
Hendricks is a smart baseball man.
nun of tho smartest in the game. His
minor league experience stamps him as
a mau -of real ability- His record reads
far more encouraging than did that
of Clarence Rowland when "Pants"
stepped into harness as a major league
director. But Rowland won a pennant.
USE COCOANTJT OIL
POB WASHING
HAIR
3C 5f 5C 5(C (c 3(C 3 sC
If you want to keep your hair in
g.)Od condition, bo enreful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
s-ap, makeSi tho hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified co
coanut oil (which is pure and entirely
greasoless), is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as- this
can t possibly injure tho hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon-
fuls will make an abundaace of rich
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out caai!y, and removes every par
ticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You tan got mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months-
Hendricks will start with a brand new
team. It won't bo to him a matter of
picking up a bunch of old men and
trying to shape them over to his meth
ods of playing ball. They'll be ready
to learn. He has a team of fast, de
pendable hitters. Cruise, Horn3by, and
players of that ilk aro bound to cut
their figures. Meadows, Horstmnn,
Doak, and other pitchers long ago
proved to tho National league that
they're good enough to give any club
an argument. They'll have their say in
lots of games the early season critics
aro voting to the Giants, Cubs, and
other clubs.
In Frank Snyder tho Cardinals have
a man who probably is tho best catch
od in tho National league. Jf he was
receiving for New York ho long ago
would havo been proclaimed that good.
His work with the Cardinals this year
may prove tho turning point for that
team.
It is too early yet to pass a real
opinion on the worth of the Cardinals
as compared with the Giants and
Cubs, but, believe the facts, t'uey don't
suffer a groat deal by comparisons.
Bowling at Cincinnati

teams bowling in the A. B. C. tourna
ment hero have added 90 pins to the
top sc-oro in that division and today

Hockey at Vancouver
Vancouver, B. C-, Feb.- 19. It's a

been feeding tho Millionaires meat.
Anyhow, when 0000 fans, tho largest
crowd at tho arena for a hockey game
with ono exception, chased for the
street cars last night the Seattle Mots
were wending their weary way to the
C P. R. boat wrapped in gloom and an
8-1 srore, and the Millionaires were
again sharing first place with them.
This is no time to gloat over a smit
ten foe, but every fan who read about
the famous Seattle board of strategy
and saw last night's gam e could en

a "board of strategy, too.
The Answer To YOUR Sales Problems
Whether you are a manufacturer of a food product, clothing,
furniture, automobiles or hair pins you have sales problems that
are daily becoming more intense. Probably the most acute of all
your problems today is transportation.
Markets that you have been developing have been suddenly
shut to you because of transportation limitations. Traffic ex
perts say it will be a long time before the railroads will be able
to make prompt deliveries of allclasses of merchandise.
The "salvation of the manufacturer facing this problem is the
fact that there are certain markets that can be reached. A care
ful investigation will show you.as it has many others, that your
distribution is scatteredvery little consumer demand and
thus a small volume of business in proportion to the possibilities
offered. ' ,
Right here is the answer to your sales problem, Mr. Manu
facturer. Hunt those markets as you would a gold mine. Con
centrate in them.' Work them as you have never before worked
a market and in all your work calculations don't -forget that
the most powerful weapon you have to fight your battle with is
newspaper advertising. '
Never Before has a a chain of circumstances combined
in such Startling Fashion to hammer home
the truth that Newspaper Advertising
is most efficient and economical. -
Your jobbers and your retailers in your market know its
power to produce sales for them. Your consuming public are
responding ot its appeal every day. You can buy it where you
want it, when you want it andonly as much as you need. No
waste circulation in the marketsyou cannot now reach.

Daring Attempt Made
To Smuggle Ammunition
San Francisco, Feb. 19. A daring
attempt to smuggle ammunition into
Mexico was frustrated this afternoon
when police and government officials
boarded the liner Peru and arrested
Marcus Silvan, an oiler and Andres
Audros, ship's carpenter.
Following the arrests rooms occu
pied by the two men were searched
and three thousand rounds of ammuni
tion were jfouud- Iu the bunks on
board ship were 1500 shells.
Last Thursday Andros came under
suspicion when a box of shells was
found in his possession. He told "the
police ho had purchased the shells for
a friend. Tho ammunition was seized
and Andros liberated. Since then he
has been watched.
According to Captain Omara, of the
neutrality squad, Andros had $127
when first arrested and admitted this
was all the money coming to him from
the trip. Today he had nearly $400 af
ter buying the ammunition. Officials
suspect he was paid by German agents
to take the shells to Mexico.

System Is Responsible
For Much Profiteering
i Washington, Feb. 19. The cost
"plus' 'system for government con
tracts is responsible for much war
profiteering, Otto M. Eidlitz, newly
appointed director of housing, told the
house public buildings- committee yes
terday. '
Kidlitz, who will nave charge of
spending $50,000,000 to house govern
ment employes and those working on
war contracts, should Secretary of Lai
bor Wilson's housing bill pass, said he
would let no contracts for this work
en the cost plus system.
Several large manufacturers have of
fered to help the go eminent in the
housing work, asking only that the
government loan the money for the
work, Eidlitz said
"The General
Erie, Pa., offered
cash; $200,000 in land end asks the
government for a loan of $1,000,000,
all of which is to be paid back in 15
years," Eidlitz said.
"The Bethlehem Steel company at
South Bethlehem, Pr-, and Old Spar
row's Point, has made a similar of
fer. Chester, Pa., and Wihnington, Del.,
offer to pay 20 per cent of all the
money the government will spend there
Bridgeport, Conn., citizens have made
a very liberal offer also. Newport
News has helped the shipping board."
Eidlitz said the government would
get practically all the money back it
put in the houses for rents and sales
after the war.
