VILLA WINS BY K. 0, Flyweight Champion Starts Fast and Knocks Out Harry Catena in Fifth Round of Their Fight. New York, July 3.—Pancho Villa, of the world, knocked out Harry Catena in the fifth round of a scheduled 12-round bout last night. The knockout came one minute and 5 seconds after the start of the fifth round. Villa had already floored Ca- tena twice in that round 'and on the challenger's third visit to the cafivas his seconds threw in the towel. The champion also floored Catena in the fourth round, the latter taking a count of seven, Catena was groggy when hie finish- ed the fourth mound, having barely managed to stay on his feet, Coming up for the fifth he progided a ready target for the champion's powerful rights and lefts. Villa sent a hard left to the jaw which proved to be the finish of Catena. Villa started after his adversary at the opening gong and those at the ringside knew it was only a question of a few rounds when Catena would fall. Not once was the flyweight erown in danger.

The shot put hammer and discus throwers particularly have been show- ing exccllent form under the tutclage of Walter Christie, head field coach, I D. Tootell and M. J. McGrath, youngster and veteran, are rivals for the hammer, and either is likely to triumph in the Olympics. DBoth dur- ing the workout at Rocquencourt this morning hurled the ball over 180 feet, which i3 not far from Pat Ryan's world record. The three shot-putting aces, Ralph Hills, Glenn Hartre#nit and Clarence Houser, have recorded tosses of slightly more than 50 feet, also close to the world's mark, and promise to be ripe for a terrific battle for Olym- pic honors with the two Finnish stars, Torpo, who is credited with 50 feet, and V. Porhola, who finished well up in this event at Antwerp. Hills, the Princeton giant, is the most consis- tent of the Americans and seems in the best shape of his career. Hartranf{t and Houser have also been heaving the discus well over 140 feet, as have 1. J. Lieb and Augustus Pope, and the Yankees are confident that this quartet will elean up. L. B. Preister, with several tosses close to 200 feet, appears to be the best of the javelin lh%fl'vr just now. J. K. Brdoker and Ralph Spearow are showing Mfine pole vault form and De Hart Hubbard, while taking no rigks in jumping, is declared to be in condition to make a formidable bid for double honors in the broad jump and hop, step and jump. augurs victory in The herrics of yew trees are not poisonous, but the seed contains a noxjous element which makes .the herry unfit to eat. e MOON CAR SERIES A Touring 5 Pass.—! 70 delivered.
