Fair form was exhibited Saturday
night at the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium,
when the Y. NJ C. A. City league bas-
ketbaH five walloped the 10th infantry
team by the score of Is to 6. Although
clever individual work saved the game
from developing into an uninteresting
contest, the basket throwing of both
teams was erratic. showing a very evil
dent lack Of practice. Very few fouls
were called. c. Bowman. center for
the Y. NJ. c. A, scored a total of i
baskets, while Lee Evans was second
with seven. F. Ross. right forward,
tailed six baskets. Block was the in
dividual star of the soldier quintet,
throwing eight baskets.
The high school Tigers were defeat
ed by the c. A. A in the second match
vastly different from the preceding one,
was hard fought throughout. The re-
suit was IN doubt until the last few
minutes of play. when the Catholics,
by a sensational squirt scored a margin
sufficient to win the battle. Both
teams showed excellent individual and
team work.
Louis Robertson. right forward Of the
Tigers, threw a total Of 13 points. Ross
Hill was second with 10. Hoover, Shea

pretty good judge of a fighter and his

Britons, Chagrined, Raise
Fund To Develop Champion
English Experts smarting Since Carpenters Victory,
Think Their Pugilists Must Adopt Infighting
Methods as a Measure Of Greatest Eff
ficacy in Hard Battles.
BY W. W. NAUGHTON.

y AN Franciso, Jan, 19.-An ink
ling Of the widespread chagrin
- caused in England by the victory
of Frenchman Georges Carpenter
over British BOmbardier Wells may
be found in the report that a couple
Of English papers-The Daily Sketch
ana the sporting Chronicle - have
set aside a fund Of $50, 900 to be spent
in the development Of a heavyweight
Of championship calibre.
According to the news cabled here
the purpose is to inaugurate Journeys
in England, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales, and the survivor in this ma
tiOnal orgy Of straight lefts, right
crosses, hooks and uppercuts, is to
be sent against Carpenter for the
British title.
Whether the story is true or not,
there is ample evidence that the Brit
ishers feeel their loss Of pugilistic
pride and are only thinking up ways
and means Of replacing the tight lit
tie island on e sound QUeensberry
basis. The Times in commenting on
the Carpenter disaster, says:
once more the pugiliSt who likes
boxing fell before a rival who loves
fighting. 1t is clear that our boxers
must learn infighting, if they are to
hold their own with the American
champions and such Americanized ex-
perts as Georges Carpenter The
greater efficacy Of inside work has
been demonstrated again and again
in heavyweight contests for the
worlds championship"
The Boxing Pretty But Inferior
The wonder is, after all we hear
about British stubbornness in the
matter Of adherence to old traditions,
that such an influential organ as The
Times should have cOunseled such a
departure from ancient ideals. At the
same time 1t must be said that The
Ilmes IS wise In its generation, for
the events OF the past few years the
world around have shown that the
straight legged, straight bodied style
OF boxing in vogue in England has
become both delusiOn and a snare.
and II would be still effective, of
course if the noble art-that is, the
seVerer forms of it,-has not been
reTOluuOniZed by American fighters.
For pretty glove play the Mace sys-
tenn still holds the palm. For work
lns damage and achieving results, the
Ucar-aWay style of the American
puSilist is vastly superior.
British Fighting StiIted.
mere IS something about the stiff
and stilted pose of a British boxer,
which carries one back to the DAYS
when the young idea was taught to
hit straight from the shoulder. In
those times the number of legitimate
ar supposedly legitimate blows could
be counted, almost. on the fingers Of
one hand, and in the main they were

Finnish Runner Makes A of
81 New Marks in Past
Twelve Months.

n T the 81 new records set up on
the ciHder and indoor tracks
during the year just past.
Hannes KOhlemainen, the great Fin
nish distance runner, is credited with
A. Kohlemainen broke more records
and attracted more attention than any
track athlete has in several years. At
all the distances between two and ten
miles the Finn has proved to be
marvel When he stepped off the five
miles at Madison Square Garden dur
ing the meet held by the New York
annette club on February Il, IN the
remarkable time of "a minutes, % 1-5
seconds, he knocked more than 20 sec
Onds from the previous record held by
George Bonhag, and hung up Z mark
which is likely to stand for some time
to come. KOhlemainen's record for
the ten miles outdoors is 81 minutes,
) 20 seconds, while indoors he is
credited with 81 minutes, s % seconds
both worlds records.
Although Kohlemainen broke more
records than any other man on the
track, the greatest individual perform
ance must be credited to John Paul
Jones, the champion miller from Cor
nell. At the intercollegiate champion
ships in the Harvard stadium, on May
81, Jones knocked a full second off
his own previous worlds record for the
mile by covering the distance IN four
minutes, IA 2-5 seconds. Only once in
the history Of running has this rec
ord been exceeded over a measured
mile, and that was when W. G. George,
the English professional, did the dis
tance in 4 minutes, u So seconds
more than a generation ago.
While Jones covered himself with
glory by making g record for the mile
outdoors, it remained for Abel Kiviat
to hang up q new mark for the indoor
mile. AT the Columbia university
games last spring Kiviat reeled off a
mile in four minutes, is 1-5 seconds,
which now stands as the worlds rec
ord for the distance indoors.

he was away off form and certainly

has done much better against both

landed hard right uDpercut to Chris

round and this may have taken the
steam out of him, but he fought like
man in a trance all through the ten
rounds Chip made an effort to score
a & O., but he could not feaze the
milwaukee, man, even with his hard
smashes to the head and body. How
ever, Chip showed more class than
when he defeated Tim O'Neill, Of Chi
cagO, at Racine several weeks ago and
he looks like a hard man TO beat over
the long distance route. As for the
clever stuff, Chip does not shine, but
he has an awkward style of his own
and is hard to get away from. He is
not hard to hit, but he can take the
punches Of most Of the middleweights
in order to get a chance to land one
himself It is a question whether he
would be able to do much damage
against clever men like Clabby and

the seed question is being Considered
very seriously by all farmers who
