hidden all his officers TO visit England
without permission from the military
authorities. At present German officers
must obtain the consent of the au

The kaiser's new decree is intended
to prevent German officers from I'M
dertaking at their own risk espionage
on British territory. Hitherto this
has been a common practice among
the ambitious young military men who
desired to gain distinction by bringing

This new order. however. does not
mean that German officers VIII cease

Round Hogan was given the popular
decision over Battling Nelson. former

Nelson failed to show his old cham

conclusion was naturally drawn that
n great number of people in this city
would like very much to witness box
ing exhibitions, provided they could
do so without police surveillance.
However, 1t is against the law. and
until the law Is amended. or now laws
made. boxing will have to be witnessed
under cover
The first bout was a four round af-
fair between two dusky hopefuls. who
named themselves Joe Wolcott and
Young Cans, respectively. Honors
were easy. though Woleott. the small
or of the pair, crawlcd before his
brighter antagonist, and would have
taken the count but that the laws OF
the game prevented.
The one rough moment of the even,
ing occurred when Morgan and
Howard. local boys. mixed IT for an
other four rounds. Morgan. the
smaller and lighter of the two. was
holding his own until the final mo-
ments of the third round. Howard
then forgot himself and began pound
ing his lighter opponent numerically.
Morgan was against the ropes. and
when Donaldson separated the two Nor
gan declared that he had entered the
ring merely to give the audience n
chance TO enjoy Itself. and that he
had been informed that no sluSginS
would he INDUCED In. The two boys
were separated and the bout declared
ended then and there.
BY far the most interesting setto OF
the evening was that between Young
Sailor, claimant of the weltcrweisht
championship of the South. and Ray
Wills, who says he is the champion
of Richmond These lads managed To
give real sparring exhibition. in
which the local boy clearly outpointed
the tattooed member from the seaside.
George Herbert donned the gloves
for a moment with Kid Harcum and
went two rounds III fast time. 1t was
the first exhibition OF Its kind given
in Richmond for many years. and sor-
rowful as il may be to relate il will prob
ably be the last. The classes conduct
cd by Herbert and Donaldson will con-
tiuuc. Application blanks for member
ship in the club were given to those
who asked for them. Several were
signed and returned. Still the club
cannot hope to exist in view of the
very evident disposition on the part
of many TO frown down efforts OF this
kind.
