ENGLAND TO HAVE SHIP
 FOR OLYMPIC ATHLETES
But BritOns Do Not Feel Very Confident of Beating
 Americans at Stockholm

Latest advices from England tell of, the British Olympic committee adopt ing the same plan for housing it's ath- letes at Stockholm next summer as that of the American committee. The Britons will go to Sweden in char tered ship, and will make their head quarters on board ship during their en- tire stay at the scene of the Olympic festival. It has been learned that the Canadian, Australian and South Afri- can contingents will arrive i'll England in time to catch the special steamer, and will amalgamate with the Eng fish athletes, making up the United Kingdom team with which the Brit ons hope to grab the Olympic point honors.
 The athletes of the colonies will be obliged to pay their prorata share of the expense, it is said, even after they join the English Olympic ship, the British Olympic fund being used for the British athletes alone Thus Eng land will grab more than half her points without spending a cent ito get them. It's the same old game of taxation without representation. Be- cause of the surplus left over from the earnings of the London Olympiad four years ago the English public has not been asked for a cent for the team that will carry it's colors at Stockholm and it is probably because of this fact that the int crest in the coming Olym- piad is said to be only lukewarm throughout England Athletic experts all over the British isles are freely quoted as being pessimistic about the chances of their team in the coming international meeting, saying in many instances that the U. K team will have to look to the colonists for more than half its score

Sailor Burke Gets
 Beating From Moha
Milwaukee Bearcat Proves Too Strong For Pride of
 Brooklyn

Bob Moha, the Milwaukee bearcat, handed Sailor Burke hard facing last night in their ten-round session at the National Sporting Club, New York. Robert had only two days training, for which Burke is deeply gra teful. or matters would have been worse. Moha was slow to get going, but when he hit his stride it was ter rible for the Sailor. He kept plant ing his gloves on Burke's body, and hurt every time he landed. In the ninth he dropped Burke to his hanSs and knees with a stiff right over the heart. From that point on the Sailor chung to his rival.
 Burke showed we'll in the first three rounds, and hopped around Moha like a flea. In the sixth Moha pounded Burke with three rights under the heart and staggered him with a

Cranes Beaten In Exciting Contest
 By Blue Ribbons
First Game in Series For City Championship Draws En-
 thusiastic Crowd
(BY Wagner.l

All the spring styles in roofing were heard alt Eagles hall, last night, when the Blue Ribbons beat the Crane Mo- 2 five by Al to 23 in the first contest for the city basketball championship There never was such a variety of noise in the old hall since the night the petite blonde lost her slipper at the Partisan Models n1asque ball. The floor and gallery were crowded and the girls cheered as loudly as the male contingent.
 For excitement this game had all recent events backed off the boards. The intense rivalry between the teams and the various remarks that rooters had made caused the players to go into the affair with plenty of dash. It was a pretty even thing in the first half, but in the second period the su- perior weight and experience of the Ribbons began to tell, and they grad ually forged ahead.
 The Crane boys were there with the passing. In fact during the greater part of the game they excelled in that department. But their shooting was all to the cheeseborough. Atherton and Barnsley, the forwards, were too light for the occasion, and conseq uerlt- ly they were able to do little or noth- Langhammer and Ludwig did most of the heavy work for the Cranes Jack Fla gan and Peachy Graham were given a chance toward the close of the con- test and both acquitted themselves with credit. If the Crane mana ge- rcore rrill rut either Graham or Eagan into the fray from the start of the next game, it will add to the weight of the aggregation and probably strengthen the team.
 The Blue Ribbons played wonderful basketball at all times, and their sup porters were wild with delight. The stars Of the contest were Pat Hurley and John Leavy. Hurley didn't care whom he tackled. He took a fling at big Bob Hoffman and once went to the mat with Ludwig. He also had his eye on the basket as his record of seven goals shows.
 Leavy was also very much in evil 0ence. He was playing against Lud- wig and it. was expected that this scrappy pair would engage in a lively six round go before the evening was over. They did unload a few hooks and swings but nothing more serious than few fouls happened. Leavy came through with five goals
 The old reliable pair, CahIl and Morrison, were big favorites with the

audience. Cahill had plenty of speed and managed to cage five shots, while the crafty Morrison gave Hoffman a busy evening. Morrison worked the manner and also dropped four into the netting. Frank Langhammer did bril- liant work in the guard position.
 At the start of the game the Cranes scared the Ribbon crowd. Ludwig
