No Prize Fights For B. H, s. Says
 PreSt. Coulter
Boys Had Merely Contem, templated a Little Infor- mai Boxing With Soft Gloves-Hamilton Train ing for Annapolis.

The B. H. s. Athletic Association awoke to find itself locally famous, this morning. Lively tales of project ed prize fights in the High school woodshed had been printed and widely read But investigation proved that some of the boys had merely project ed little boxing, with gloves the dimensions of pillows. The little bouts were to have been entirely informal, and were not to have been conducted by the athletic association, but by some of the youth with bias for the manly art, and congenia1 predisposi- tion toward giving and receiving blows. There was no objection to little practice in this line in the High cred that the shed had cement floor upon which any youth Stumbling might hurt himself, even to fractur- ing his skull. The possibility that a few slight fractures might make open ings for Knowledge to creep in was not even considered against the prob ability of danger, and the boxing had to be abandoned. As for Stewart Hamilton, son of Harold H. Hamilton, president of the Whiting Mfg. Co., he has been boxing a little with Al Ketchen and Young Bosse at Capt Bonds famous training quarters in Stratford, but not with the idea in participating in the High school box ing. On the contrary. he is trying to get in physical condition to take examinations to Annapolis. to which he expects a bid, his friends say. So at least a Farmer reporter was assur- sources of information.
 ''It is ridiculous to suppose that the High school fellows were going to have prize fights said William Coul- associa tion. this morning. Nothing of the kind was contemplated"
