Deer Wage Battle
For Lone Witness*
Alturas, Cal., .Ian. 26-(A.P.)-J.
Gutzman, a rancher, recently was eye-
witness of a !deadly combat between
two male deer with their horps inter-
locked.
Gutzman, who is deaf, came on the
duelists n a wilderness near here and
was within 25 feet of them before he
saw them or they sensed his presence.
When the bucks noted the intrusion,
they ceased fighting and scrambled
away, their horns still locked, to a
point hardly 100 yards distant, where
the battle was resumed. Gutzman
notified the game warden, and the
next day an investigation was made.
The bucks could not be found, but
the trail they had left for miles told
eloquently of the terrific battle. In
places the ground was torn up as if
by a plow and saplings were broken
down. At one point the fettered foes
had fallen over a cliff 12 feet high.
The game warden predicted that the
final chapter of the episode would be
written when some hunter found two
pairs of whitened-horns linked to-
gether.

Gene Tunney, light-heavyweight
champion, has instituted a new kind
of settlement work which promises a
successful future.
R.ecently under the direction of
Barney Hymen, physical director of
the settlement, a boxing show was;
held at which youngsters ranging from
seven to 15 years of age settled their
street feudsin a 16-foot ring. AllI
ring equipment used in regular bouts,
including padded gloves, towels, train-
ers, judges, tights, timekeepers and
the gong were on hand.
Barney Hymen acted as third man
in the ring after several youngsters#
had diplomatically declined that hon-
or. Mike Rabino, a violin instructor,
and Henry Catena, champion fly-
weight of the National Guard, served.
as judges.
The first bout produced the Wagner
twins, Joe, six, and Jimmy, eight. The
brothers settled all family differences,f
with Jimmy capturing second place.
Kid Brady from West 11th street
and Young Durkin of West 10th street,
fought for the flyweight championship
of the Village, honors going to the,
latter after an extra round was neces-
sary to decide the winner.
The main bout brought together
Jack Duffries, University Settlement,
and Sol Presto, Greenwich House. The
bout was fast and went to Duffries.
Miss Elsie McCormick, one of the
settlement workers, attended and ex-
pressed'herself as pleased with the
bouts. More will be held in thel
future.

Young people's faces are the hardest
for an artist to portray, said Mr.
Charles Pape, famous pencil artist.-
of New York and Chicago, in an inter-
view with a representative of The
Daily yesterday. This is due, accord-
in .to Pape, .to the absence of lines
on such faces.
Pape, who has had pictures exhib-
ited in some of the leading art gal-
leries of the country, has scorned the
usual professional life of an artist
to wander over the country making
pictures as he goes. He has found that
college men and women afford an ex-
cellent field for his ability and has
for more than 20 years travelled from
college to college making pencil
sketches of students. He has also a
number of highly praised oils to his
credit.
Pape, in addition to beine know n
as "the man with the golden hand,"
is gifted with a remarkably swift pow-
er of sketching. His sittings average
little over four minutes each. Re=
cause of this and because of his years
in the business, Pape estimates "at
he has completed more than 100,000
pencil sketches in his career. Among
them are statesmen, actors and act-
resses, models, financiers and other
notables. In addition to his "line"
about kings and queens, that he has
adopted for the amusement of his pa-
trons, Pape has actually sketched a
number - of very well-known people,
such as Theodore Roosevelt's grand-
son and scions of the Vanderbilt and
Rockefeller families.
The artist informed the reporter
that he intended to go to California
when he leaves here, stopping in at
Chicago-his native city--and Evans-
ton on the way.
"Few people know," said the eccen-
tric genius, "that there is a great deal
of difference between a fine picture
and a likeness. Some of the best mag-
azine cover artists cannot get a like-
ness of their subject however hard
they try. Their pictures look very lit-1
tle like the models from which they
are made. It is because of this diffi-
culty with unlined faces that so few
artists attempt them to any great ex-
tent where a real likeness is waned."
So far as known. Charles Pape is the
