New Club Will Begin
Business at Chelsea.
Spike Robson After Abe AtteIl
For the Championship.
This Is Scheduled For q Busy Week
at Philadelphia.

Boston, Jan. 14-The local fighting
fraternity was awakened to life last
week, when it was announced that
Honey Melody and Jimmy Gardner
would be matched to fight in Tonapah
next March. At the end of the week
It was announced that Honey Melody
would be matched with Harry Lewis
on that date mentioned, and while Mel
lody seems to be willing enough to
accept any offer Tonapah may make. Sd
long as the purse is large enough
$4,000 or something definite has yet
been done, nor will be until Mike Ri
lyey, the head Of the trust in TOnopah.
begins to realize what he really does
want.
When Riley signs his men and names
his purses and shows that he means
business, more people will take inter-
est in Tonapah. and think of him more
seriously than they now do. but until
then Riley's kilograms and offers Of
fights will be accepted as usual. so long
as he pays the toll. If he wants Hon.
ey Melody to fight, it is easy to get
him. Honey has made it known that
he will fight any one of his weight
there if the purse is right, and if Ri
ley knows his BUSINESS, he knows what
to do.
There was much talk during t.c week
over the promised attempt to StaIt
fighting in Chelsea again this week.
The Winnisimmett A. c., composed Of
a number of well-known men of Chci-
sea. win try to hold a show in Py-
THAN rink tomorrow night While the
bouts are Of only mediocre quality. the
affair is Of interest in that it may show
whether Chelsea and the state police
will permit it. The club will be run
strictly. it is said. and there will not
be only boxing. but wrestling bouts
ana a vaudeville show. The show, in
fact. is really fecler.
At Los Angeles next Friday night,
the great little feathcr-wcight cham
pion Abe Attell. will box Harry Baker.
who gave him Il good battle before.
Albert belmont will box lid Becbe in
Hayerhill on Thursday night. and ma !
meet Jack Langjlon in Lawrence the
following night. If his showing is sat
isfactory il, these. he will go to Phil
adelphia and Baltimore to box, and
will then probably work along through
the West. He realizes that there is
little i'm Boston for fighters.
On Thursday night the Hawthorne
Club will hold it's amateur tournament
and will Dc followed next week by the
B. A. "A. amateur tournament.

The Value Of Play.

Richard Cole Newton in the Popular Sci

The great educational value OF play,
as such, has at last begun TO be recog-
nized. A German commission some
few years ago visited the English pub
lie schools under instructions to study
the influence of the games and sports
carried on there upon the physical and
intellectual development of the stu
dents Their report was such that steps
were Immediately taken to introduce
athletic sports and games into the Ger
man schools An annual Of four or
five hundred pages entirely devoted to
play is now published in that country
where, I'm fact, most Of the pedagogic
movements Of the past century have
originated. and after careful investiga-
ton. the playground movement was
Systematically undertaken there: and
there is now i'll some German cities
law requiring that aaCn school shall
provide a minimum play space for each
pupil, which in Munich. for example,
must be AZ least twenty-five square feet
in area. In Berlin there is forty-acre
playground intended solely for small
children. Play conferences are being
held ann ua!.y In the larger German
cities and thousands of teachers are
being taught TO play games with the
children.
