turned to their homes ill Stilt li‘ruirl
claco, Pittaburg and ladiauapolta, to:
day. after failing to adjust difficulties;
between these two trades so as to:
bring about a settlement of the sheotf
metal workers‘ strike. which has been:
ill progress here for more than three
months. 0. A. Tveltmoe, of San
Francisco, a member of the executive
committee of the American Federa-

Lto the refusal of the Einployers' As-.
sociation to compromise. The em-l
ployers declined to treat with the inn-
ions, although they have agreed to
take back the striking workmen as in-
dividuals. ,
The failure to settle this strike hasI
put an end to the talk of a general
movement toward greater industrial
harmony whichi‘was discussed by (he
lahor leaderd‘who have been meetingt
here since the first of the week. “The
attitude of the employers," said Mr.

it. requires courage sometimes to
stop a boxing bout. because it seems
to be growing brutal. for, perhaps, the
titan who seems to be the worse is
really the less hurt. But the majority
of the fans don‘t want. brutality.
They want good. hard. clever boxing
and they are willing to pay for it.
This large and growing element in
boxing fandom are heart and soul with
the referee who tries to be fair to
both boxers, and yet is determined to
minimize brutality. Unfortunately. he
seems to' be “all too few." , l
Not so many weeks ago. Rev.
Claude ll. Prlddy was heard to say,
as he stood and watched Charles Gro
gnu, Stamford High School's plucky
tackle carried offlthe football field, his
leg broken: “After? you’ve said the
best you can for football it‘s ii mighty
brutal game.” This remark was en-
tirely voluntary. it was addressed to
i
no one in- particular. it‘answered no
one's question. it was, presumably.
Mr. Prlddy‘s mind speaking aloud
with. the. unfortunate accident before
it.‘ What Mr: Priddy said probably
came right from his heart.
Mr. Priddy‘s words could be aptly
applied to boxing—after‘tfte best has
been said for it, boxing is, no doubt.
somewhat brutal. But just suppose
a boxer’s leg was broken or he was
otherwise seriously injured at a show.
What. a bowl would go up from the
good folk who believe all .‘forms of en?
tertainment other than singing so-
cieties or debating clubs to be too “
strenuous for young America. Boxing
at best Is not a mollycoddle's past-'

other sports that could be mentioned.

’ Football Notes.
The election of Jesse Spalding of
Chicago, Yale '12. right half back on
the varsity eleven. to be captain next.
year. created a sensation in athletic
circles, many believing that either
Waltr Camp, jr., Philbin or Douglas
Bonieisier would be accorded the hon-
or. . . .
it has just developed that the real
reason for postponing the election of
a Harvard football captain is because
so many of the players sustained
black eyes in the Yale game. Asthe
election of a captain is always follmv-
ed by a photograph,;the warriors want
to give their bruises time to disap-
pear. ' it
