KID SULLIVAN IS PRIhBD
Washington Slugger to Meet Skill
full Boxer at Baltimore.
some Interesting Fighting Is Prom
ised when Old Rivals Step Into
the Ring Tomorrow Night.

For a summertime fight when the
average man does not incline toward
straining his intellect to any marked de-
gree. the engagement tomorrow night at
Baltimore between Solder Burns and
kid" Sullivan offers sufficient attraction
The two boxers presen: a peculiar com
bination. Sullivan has always impressed
the boxing fans as a rugged sort Of a
boxer. Just a man able TO slash about on
the chance Of landing on an opponent
all the while able 10 take a few punches
himself without feeling Sullivan has
done some pretty hard pounding himself
in his day, and ali in ALL he has been
termed a medium grade fighter
Burns. on the other hand. is Of the
boxer type. 1t was rather amusing 70
watch his introduction TO the rugged
kid" several months ago. which was
ladylike in the extreme. Tap. tap. tap
and il was solely on those taps that
Burns won the verdict from so able a
referee as Jack McGugan. The crowd
was expecting momentarily 10 see Sui
Ivan walk into him with some powerful
swings or jabs. But he didn't At any
rate, he didn't hit so that any one could
notice It, and Burns won the decision.
If the question OF supremacy on the
coming fight rests upon whether Sulli-
van is going to stand back and be wal
loped. the answer might as well be given
now-not Sullivan is tired Of the chival-
ric role. He doesn't care whether Burns
is perfect lady when it comes to the
boxing game or not. He says that Burns
has been rash in daring to presume upon
past performances. Sullivan didn't believe
he got quite all that was coming TO him
from Referee McGuigan in that previous
fight with Burns. That's the real rea-
son why Abe" Ullman will be the boss

An announcement Of the location OF an
athletic field for the use of the George
Washington University will be made
within a few days The location Of the
field cannot be announced at the present
time, as it is not definitely known.
Dr. +. c. Wilson. graduate manager OF
athletics at the Hatchetite institution,
was recently appointed resident physician
at Columbia Hospital and his new duties
have occupied so much Of his time that
he has not been able 20 close the contract
for the grounds under consideration.

night. Or. Wilson said:

It all the more desirable.

are completed work win be started i'm

ProsIyetine for Athletes.

Declaring that summer baseball is the
greatest evil in college athletics. Prince
ton. in the East, and the intercollegiate
conference, in the West, have incorporat-
ed in their eligibility codes rules pro-
hibitlng students from engaging I'm base
ball during vacation with any teams ex-
cept in their home towns.
BY this stringent ruling the powers
that be hope to put an end to the prac-
tice OF college players going into small
towns and playing for money. but in the
opinion Of George Hun. the athletic di-
rector at the University OF Illinois. the
rule viii make amateur liars. not anna
teur athletes.
Why the colleges persist in adding 10
codes that have already assumed the
proportions or volumes is difficult to con-
ceive. The time seems far distant when
there will be peace among the colleges,

the respect Of every manager in the league

1t is true that the players have not been

slump is the fact that in nearly every

In reply 10 this. John B. Foster. the

Rather than standing IN one spot all the

but what is needed Is not more rules, but
strict enforcement of the rules that
