TRIUMVIRATE OF
BATTLERS II
5
(By United Press)
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—The beating
Jack Dillion recently took so gamely
from Billy Miske has, in the opinion
of most every ring follower, elmin
ated Jacques positively as a danger
ous factor in the struggle for light
heavyweight supremacy.
The conclusion now lies between
Battling Levinskey, Jewish scrapper,
Billy Miske, and Tom Gibbons. And,
without a shadow of doubt, this trium
virate of battlers personifies the
greatest in the ranks of the hard
fighting class that has done so much
to keep boxing in a moving state the
last few years.
Each of these youths lays a sort of
desultory claim to the light heavy
weight crown. When Dillon was in
his prime their claims amounted to
little, for Dillon went regularly about
a business of knocking out all ambi
tious contenders. Then Miske came
to the fore by trouncing Battling Le
vinskey, and later on whipping Jack
Dillon. And then Gibbons topped it
by polishing off Levinskey.
The latter bout was a no decision
affair, in which both boxers stood off
and jabbed through ten rounds al
each other, Gibbons has amassed some
of the wisdom and boxing ability ol
his more famous brother and was able
by this means, to take a popular de
clsion over Dan Morgan's battler. But
Levinskey then came back and won
a decision from .Miske in Boston, so,
i
by all the rules of the game, he is en
titled to most consideration as holder
of the crown.
It is too bad promoters are over
looking this most excellent chance to
stage a series of great bouts, for, with
Gibbons, Levinskey and Miske vieing
for a title that would be undisputed
the fight public would have all It
could attend to.
There is no favoritism for any one
of the three. Each is an excellent
I
boxer, well qualified to take care of
himself. In Gibbons, and Levinskey
there is exemplified a science that
amounts to marvelous some times.
Miske isn’t that sort of a scrapper, al
j though he is something of a boxer.
1 He is more of the mauling type. The
winner of a tournament of this sort
would be well qaulified to take up the
| crown tossed off by Dillon.

(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.—The
lower jaw of a mammoth, said to be
the only similar relic of the extinct
behemoth now in existence was
brough here recently from Point Bar
row, Alaska, by the power schooner
Herman. The relic was dug out of
the snow by natives while the vessel
was in Point Barrow harbor. The
beast who possessed the jaw is said
to Rave roamed over the Alaskan
plains thousands of years ago. The
jaw will be presented to an eastern
museum.
A live polar bear was also captured
near Point Barrow and brought down
on the schooner.

RECORD OUTPI "
OF SUGAR SI!
I
(By Associated Press)
HONOLULU, Dec. 20.—Despite a
record output of 560.000 tons of sug
ar on the Hawaiian islands tnis year.j
these islands are faced with a soda
water famine. The reason is ascribed
to the immense exports of sugar. An1
even bigger output is promised for
next year, but the same condition is
threatened.
Soda water is one of the most popu- r
lar beverages in Honolulu. The Ori
ental races, which predominate here,!
show a great fondness for it. Mann-1
facturers say they cannot produce as'
good a drink from brown sugar and |
that the question of color interferes
with the use of the coarser sweeten
ing.
