KEYSTONE BOYS AGAIN MIX'EM Boxing, Wrestling, Song and Story Make "Some" Smoker BURRIS WINS ON POINTS OVER STOKES who were fortunate enough to Those, the invited guests of the Keystone Field Club at Y. M. H.
A. Hall last night, proved first that supporters real sport are not lacking in WiLof and second, 1 that they will mington, the club to the limit in the effort wack is making to promote sport in this city. The Keystone boys put up five snapboxing bouts last night, and one py notch wrestling session, and the top brand of 'action shown by practically all of the Inen within the ropes proved that the old town is no back number when it comes to turning out yet athletes. Last night's. exhibutions marked start campaign for the beneflt of the club.
The most interesting, RA well as the most laughable bout of the evening was the four-round mill between Soldier Stokes and Mike Burns, champion welterweight of Michigan. Stokes made his usual comical grimaces, and rushed repeatedly at Burns, swinging his arms like a baseball pitcher, and glowering like a ferocious animal at his antogonist. Burns didn't scare much by Stokes' tactics and let the Soldier hot and heavy from port and starboard batteries, but the caveman assimilated the jolts, and waded back for more. More was forthcoming, but not matter how hard Burns landed, and the blows smacked throughout The auditorium, he could not seem to fluster the doughty doughboy. Had any one of about twenty of Stokes' blows landed on Burns' jaw.
It would have been all over but the flowers, with the skylarks trilling sweet music. but the Michigan lad proved that he was as clever a dodger n3 he was a smiter, and the tremendous swings whizzed balefully over his back. At times the Soldier would cover 11p, looking the picture of defeated dejection, then suddenly would uncork swing, that made the guests the rear of' the auritorium shiver in the draught. No decision was given, of course, but a popular decision would be that Burns had it easily on points. In the windup, which was a wrestling bout between Johnny Barclay, the popular welterweight wrestler, who is to leave Wilmington tomorrow.
for Oregon, and his clubmate, Joe Jacobs, the former threw Jacobs with an arm and body hold in 6 minutes and 5 seconds. Joe put up a stiff contest for about five minutes, but the veteran proved too much for him. Johnny Cooper refereed the bouts. In the semi-windup, Cyro Adam, amateur champion of Newark N. and Solly Woods, the well-known Brooklyn scrapper of parts, mixed together with great gusto, in a contest refereed by Mike Burns.
During the first two rounds Woods got a little the better taking the defensive, but the last two periods were Cyro's by a shade Woods, however, ready to at any moment, but Was, superior stamina and longer reach of the taller man commenced to tell before the conclution of the four-round bout. The Orst prelim brought together Kid Yodel and Kid Sun. Both boxers were amateurs, and boxed wide open, but there were some wicked wallops stopped during the encounter. Yodel took the offensive throughout the bout. and also some stiff punches in the bargain, but nothing seemed to "phase" him, for he cave a little better than was sent flying at him.
This match started whiz bang, and never stopped for a moment until the watch was out. In the second prelim, two well-built 125-pounders, Kid Ricords and, Mike Bennett, exchanged roundhouse punches until the cows came home. Bennett took the initiative during most of the bout, but at times Ricords came back with a vengeance. Mike essayed to land a number of swings which started from the canvas, but most of them only threw him off his banance. The scrap ended like a whirlwind, with both mit artists bopping at each other in the center of the ring.
In the Arst semi-final. Andy Jolson have much of a chance against Frankie Lewis, for the latter made a punching bag of his head at the startoff, so the referce, Jack Ward, was obliged to put an cad to the encounter at the conclusion of the initial period. Boxing and wrestling wasn't all that happened at the Keystone Club'a smoker, last widely-known night. Denny and comed- Burns, fans, climbed un on black stage, and kept every soul with a sense of humor conPulsed with laughs, titters, shouts and guffaws for fifteen minutes. The crowd wanted them back at the conclusion of the time to them.
Ed. Paynter accompanied allotted, the laugh artists, in two songs. The entertainment committee had also provided entertainment in the form of songs by William Seidel and Al Maloney. Both were the donees of generous applause. More than 500 persons witnessed the bouts.
TODAY IN SPORTS WALTER CAMP'S ALL- AMERICAN YALE AND PRINCETON PASSED UP WEE CENTRE COLLEGE LANDS TWO COLGATE YOUNGSTROM-PART. MIMILLIN CENTRE They Can't Charge Camp With Favoring "Big 3" BY FRED TURBYVILLE. Walter Camp's 1919 All-American football team in Collier's should prove the most popular selection he ever made. It contains the names of football stars from schools big and little, east and west. But most noticeable in his selection is the absence of Yale Princeton men in his first line-up and only one Harvard star.
They can't accuse Camp of seeing only the "Big Three" this year. The only school is landing little two Centre men on the All College at Danville, an institution 101 years old, but which has an enrollment of exactly 203 students. Camp passed up many stars of the big schools, men who had attained great prominence and had been much in the public prints, to delve into Blue Grass country and pick out the two Kentucky stalwarts. But though their light has not shown throughout DECIDE AMATEURE GRID TITLE TODAY WEST- Harlan Field will be the setting this afternoon for the game which will cide the amateur football championship of.

WILMINGTON'S LEADING BICYCLE STORE. STATE, ALEXANDER.S WRACUSE. terror of the opponents when kicker from placement. Weaver of Centre College is one of the best built men for the position that ever played in the middle of the line. He is lighter in actual pounds than the usual type of center, but that weight is so placed that as pivot man he can play either in the line or as roving center.
McMillin of Centre, gets the quarterback berth for his all-around utility, speed and hard hitting aggressiveness. And the trio behind him would be the envy of any team--Casey of Harvard, Harley of Ohio State, and Rodgers of West Virginia. Casey tied the Princeton game, coming stronger and faster when his team was practically beaten. Harley of Ohio State, is a fitting mate for him and a star drop kicker. Harley is also one of the hardest men in the country to stop when once started on a run.
We complete the trio with Rodgers of West Virginia, the hard-hitting backfield man who is even more adept throwing the pass than any man who has played this season. BEST" PLAYERS. FIRST ELEVEN. ST. ANDREW'S READY FOR SUNDAY CANVASS The Rev.

MERCHANDISE Dealers to Dispense Food and Other Goods as Department's Stores Close GOVERNMENT TO STOP PROFITEERING BY WALTER CAMP In Collier's. PHILADELPHIA, Dee.
Millions of dollars' worth of navy merchandise will be sold through regularly established retail stores in the fourth naval district, in a move to convert the goods cash and at the same time reduce the high cost of living. The goods will be sold at a law margin of profit. That announcement was made by Commander J. D. Robnett, in charge of navy surplus sales.
He sent letters to more than 600 retailers here following the receipt of orders from Washington to abandon the sale of goods in stores under the operation of the navy. The goods will also be distributed over New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio and Maryland. He declared that although no definite, limit had been placed on the profit which the retailers will be permitted to make agents would be employed to prevent any profiteering. The goods to be sold include almost every line of merchandise which was purchesed in huge quantities by the Navy Department during the war. The amount of merchandise to be put on the market is indicated by a partial list of goods available.
It includes 260,000 blankets, 100,000 jackknives, 330,000 jerseys, 500,000 trousers, 245,000 pairs of leggings, 35,000 yards of thirtyounce blue cloth, 300,000 yards of braid. whisk brooms, 180,000 hair brushes, and 1,000,000 pairs of woolen socks. Captain Robnett said that this was but a small portion of the miscellancous merchandise which will be rapiddisposed of through Philadelphia, New. York. Boston and Norfolk.
He said that about half of the goods availwill be distributed through his office. "Those supplies are being disposed of in provide funds in the United States Treasury from which 10 to, pay congressional appropriations without an Increase of taxation," declared the commander. "Those sales will be made through the regularly established retail trade to avoid unfair competition and the setting up of temporary government establishments throughout the country." "It believed that the sale of these materials through the trade to the ultimate consumer at as small a margin of proft possible will place the retail trade in a better light before the public." he said. "and restore the conin some localitics, well nigh destroyed fidence which has been shaken. and by the high prices which have been demanded from the consumer.
in some legitimately, and in others by profiteering." Commander Robnett explained that one reason for present high prices Is the large quantities taken off market by the government during the war, and that by returning a large part of that to the retail trade, prices would the sport world as has the fame of other stars, not picked, the football fans who have seen Centre's men perform will agree with Camp that they have no superiors in the game this year. As for the other nine men of the team, they are picked here and there, covering the entire footbal map. Camp's job this year was probably the most eleven dimoult men he for ever the tackled first team in selecting field of stars of perhaps 50 men who will be mentioned on various experts' choices. On account of the great popularity the open game attained this year there were more bright and shining stars than ever before. You could take a list of 50, shut your eyes and pick out 11 names and your selection would stand up fairly well.
Camp's team will do nicely and there won't be much of a squawk heard from the critics who annually assail him.
