BOXING IS BECOMING
 A WORLD WIDE SPORT,
The Game is No Longer Confined to
 English Speaking Countries French, Danes and Swiss Ara Active

Boxing is gaining friends the world
 over,' says Charles Harvey, secretary
 Of the New York state athletic com
 mission. Tt was less than ten years
 ago that the sport was practically con-
 fined to America, England and Aus
 tralia. France then took it up. Now
 it is making such rapid strides in Den
 mark and Switzerland that those coun- tries, through promoters of the game,
 are making requests for copies of our
 rules. They want them to submit to
 the committee that will decide on the international rules and weights" That Denmark and Switzerland have boxers of note is made evident in the letter which Paul Rosseau, president of the Federation of French Boxing clubs, has sent to Harvey. The let ter touches on the establishment of international boxing rules and weights Which 1t is proposed shall govern all bouts in every country.
 From the contents of the letter it Will be seen that France, Germany, Denmark and Switzerland are more | likely to co-operate with America than i is England. The Danes and Swiss want uniform rules. The weights that | rule in this country may be accepted l by France and the other members ot the federation, but Englishmen already | have begun to protest, through the | sporting papers. against any change.
 The stumbling block appears to be not the weight, but the time the con.
 testants shall weigh. America anC l France are in favor of ringside weight
 England is in favor of o'clock the

for me when I got that matching ma chine.
 When the hatch was over and the chickens consigned to the care oI tne homemade brooder, Ezra cleaned out the incubator and brushed up the broken egg shells. Among them he noticed a bit of gleaming black and stopped to pick it up.
 It proved to be a tiny seal, that made his eyes open wide in astonishment. Surely there could be no mistake. It was the setting to a ring that Miss Abbie had worn for many years, and would have been instantly recognized by any of her village friends.
 How came the seal out of the ring Above all, how came 1t to be lying there among the eggs shells in the in cubator? Miss Abbie had not been among his visitors-Of that he was sure. Wondering would neither solve the mystery nor restore the ring to its owner. so a few moments later he was knocking at her door Miss Abbie welcomed him cordially, and ,ushering him into her cosy sit ting room made a cheery comment on the weather.
 Tt is a fine day" Ezra admitted, but that is not what brought me here, ]! I have just found something that mistrust belongs to you and no one else.
 ! He extended the seal and Miss Ab- 1 bic took it at once, gazing at him with startled eyes. For perhaps the first time in all her life she felt i'll at ease i in his presence.
 Why, where did you find it, Ezra ?' she gasped.
 That is the queer thing about it

Princeton and Chi | cago come next with five and four rep l rcsentatives respectively.

 This is significant in indicating how | far these three men stood above their l teammates, because they were all three l All-American choices, and the ex- | panson of the list from II individuals

 You have the chickens" Miss Abbie admitted. But they didn't come from those eggs?"
 Not from those eggs?" Ezra echo ed blankly. Then where on earth did they come from"
 Miss Abbie's confusion was increas- ing every minute. It was decidedly becoming an almost girlish flush to her cheeks.
