So far as that goes, the dope is that this rule will shortly be applied to every bout. Perhaps this will answer the ques tion which so many have been asking since the Britton-Ted Lewis r.ont namely: Why was Dick Nueent brought way down from Buffalo to act as arbiter in the ring when so many referees were available right at hand? As a matter of fact, it does answer the question. It has been noted that in the case of every top-line fight held in New York, certain trpntrv bave shown more interest than warranted in the identity of the referee who was to work. This is not to say that gamblers have their collars around the neck of any ring official the New York com missioners have said nothing to indi cate that this is the case and there is no reason for believing that such prog ress has been made by the money ele ments who follow boxing; none the less the commission is - taking no chances. Nugent the Referee Speculation as to who the referee would be was especially keen in the case of the Britton-Lewis go. And, of course, the local referees were stand ing in line waiting for the call. But it never came to a single one of them. On the night of the fight, into the ring stepped a referee who was an utter i,et n 6x1 the food money and waa willing to take a licking to get it. But, on the quiet, it is whispered, hla terms were such as no white man ever before asked. They were declined and that's supposed to be the reason why he went home. BRITISH CADET TELLS OF SINN FEWER FIGHT Two Motor Cars Attacked and 17 of the British Are Shot Down STi rYI; THR DYING -RACKS OF THR POLYNESIAN GIlOl'P H0NOT,UTlT, T. H., Jan. 22. (Cor- r'spondenre Associated Press). "Whence panin the ancient Tlawaiians and others of the Polynesian rac. is a nuery which baffled the members of th? T'an-Pacific scientific congress vhpn it was in session here last Au Rt:M. and which is answered in part by l.'inio R. Sullivan, of the American lr-.isn.m of natural history, Nw York, vlin lias been conducting iiwetatna ti"!is here since the close of the con- Rndily. facial and cranial charac tfristics of the Polynesian, according tn Mr. Sullivan's tables, show that ho is eleven parts Mongoloid. Ave parts European, five parts Mongoloid-European and two parts Mongoloid-Melane-'n. The seemingly unavoidable con clusion is that the Hawaiian and his Polynesian brothers original - came frnm (Asia. j The ancient TTawaiians were a race rezal proportions, the most cotn tnandine: physically. Mr. Sullivan be lieves, the world has ever seen. Thero never has been any doubt that the Hawaiian. Samoan, Tahitian, Ton 2n n and Maori are closely akin. Their legends, speech, customs and build all testify to the relationship, but, hith erto their origin has been lost in the mits of the ages. In order to reach a solution of this riddle, and before he felt he had es tablished the Mongoloid-European-Me-'ansian theory, Mr. Sullivan measured the heads apd bodies and noted the ''laracteristics of 2,000 natives of the Hawaiian islands. This relationship makes the Hawaiian a cousin of the Chinese, Japanese and other Asiatic race?, including the Malays, as well as' a connection of the American Indian and Eskimo. He also draws some of his blood from the continent of Europe and a very little from the original Ftoek of "the Australian aborigine. Through the agency of the Bishop Museum of Honolulu, which houses one r,f the most complete, if not the most 'omplete ethnological collections in ex Istrnec. the interesting search is con tinuing. Hawaii and Samoa already have been surveyed and farther south ieiitifir; expeditions are pursuing the 'fail. When this data is as complete af i: can he made, it will be tabulated and analyzed and the results publlsh fI within a year or so. Meanwhile, the Polynesian1 is dying fast; his race is passing out at high Kned and the investigations are being "isberi With as little delay as possl- stranger to practically every one of the 50,000 persons who filled the Madi lson Square Garden Richard J. .Nu gent, of Buffalo. Nugent did a good job; no one can say anything else. But the marked factor in his work was that he never laid hands upon either fighter 'n the clinches. His mere word, "break," was sufficient to separate the battlers; it came by pleasing contrast to the wrest ling tactics of many New York referees in prying clinched fighters apart. In truth, it has often looked as if the referee were engaged in fighting both men. This particularly has been bad when the arbiter happened to be an ex-pugilist. Under the rules there is no necessity for this and the boxing commission is trying to establish that fact in the minds of all state referees. There is a growing conviction among the com missioners that the most efficient "third men" are those who have never been pugilistsbut, on the contrary, are younssters of physique, courage, brains and mental quickness who from the start have specialized not as fighters but as ring directors of boxing con tests. Pnlltwk Not Concerned While on the subject of referees it should be said that thero was never any idea that Eddie Pollock, who ref ereed the suspicious Roy Mobre'-O'Gat-ty bout, was concerned in whatever tampering may have taken place with regard to this fight. He was suspended for such violations of the rules cov ering the conduct of referees as visit ing the dressing rooms of the fighters before the bout and conducting himself with unnecessary officiousness. There is now no doubt that the of ficial feeling in New York state is against important heavyweight bouts. Tex Rickard recognizes this better than any one and as a consequence he did not press the "VVillard-Dempsey matter as vigorously as he might have done. As to, this proposed scran there is rather a funny slant. One hears talk that Dempsey and his followers were scared to death as a result of the cham pion's fight against Brennan and prac tically walked out of the projected meeting with Willard. The "uo and up" on the matter is that Willard was attracted to New York by the big purses being offered, that he wanted LONDON. Jan. 28 (Correspondence Associated Press). The first detailed authentic account of the killing of 17 auxiliary cadets of the Royal Irish, con stabulary by a party of Sinn Fc.iners near Macroom, Ireland, November 28, has just been obtained ' from the sole survivor of the ambushed party, Lieut. H. F. Forde. The lieutenant has re covered from his wounds in a London military hospital. All previous ac counts of the affair have been based on deductions, in the absence of re ports from eye-witnesses. Lieutenant Forde suffered a bullet wound in the head and wag clubbed with the butt of a rifle and left for dead. He says that the two motor cars carrying the cadets were attacked as they were passing between rocky de clivities on either side just as the lead ing car ran into a ditch which hail been prepared for it. Many of those in the first car were wounded by the first fire from forces coneealed behind huge rocks. Those in the second car came up and fcfught until the last man fell wound ed.. Forde. was lying wounded when he heard the order to cease fire. He adds: "Then a larrre number of attackers from both sides rushed into the road. They wore the uniform of British sol diers and handled us all very roughly, not excepting the. dead- After knock ing us about they called on us a.11 to stand up. "Two of the party were able to get to their feet and were immediately shot down at close range by the 'shin ners.' One of the cadets near me groaned and turned over. One of the civilians plunged a bayonet into his hack. I muttered something and he turned to me and after cursing me, said it would be my turn next. I could see thd others going through the cloth ing of the cadets who were being bru tally treated. One of the civilians tried to. pull a gold ring from my finger but failed. The next thing I remember wag when one of them rolled me over roughly, to see I suppose, whether I wan dead. "When I woke. ur it wa,s pitch dark.
