VILLA IS VICTOR { Flyweight Champion Bests Abe Gold- stein in a Bout That Fafls to Im- press Big Crowd At Garden. New York, Nov. 17.—Pancho Villa, the flyweight champion of America, conceded eight or nine pounds of weight to Abe Goldstein of Harlem and earned the decision of the judges in a painfully slow and uninteresting fifteen round bout at Madison Square Garden last night.

Villa apparently was afraild of Goldstein’s right hand punch for the jaw, and Goldstein was in great fear of every punch in Vil- la's repertoire. Goldstein was chiefly responsible for ‘the unsatisfactory| contest’ as he absolutely refused to lead and even when his smaller op- ponent started aggressively Goldstein usually clinched and brought the ac-| tion to a standstill. So slow was this perférmance of the two men that the spectators fre- quently hissed them. The only mark of battle that was borne by either man at the finish was a bloody nose presented to Goldstein. INDIA TOO CROWDED. And One Out of Four Children Born There Dies in Infancy. ‘Washington, Nov. .17.—Compared with the United Stajes, India has a smaller area and a much larger popu- lation. The area of India, including the semi-independent Indian states,)| is less than two-thirds of the area of the United States; but the popula- | tion is three times as large. It may reasonably be inferred that India is already overfull of human beings. Yet social custom and re- liglous creed still impose upon Indian i parents the duty of begetting chil- dren, regardless of the means avail- able for their maintenance, with the result that children are poured into the world even more rapidly than in Europe and in the United States. | Roughly, one in four of the infants thus brought into being dies before it has ceased to be an infant. Others die fn early youth or early manhood. The'average duration of life in India is far below the average of western Europe or America. Beyond this is the final fact that the whole standard of life is lowered, because of resources of the country do not suffice for the adequate main- tenance of the millions who are striv- ing to live.
