SPORT NEWS
WAR KILLS BOXING.
BY Hal Sheridan.

New York, Aug. S.-The European
war has played havoc with the boxing
game in England and France. Fans on
the other side now have something else
to think about. And besides, with real
fighting at their very dOOrs-fighting
in which guns, powder and swords are
used-boxing is comparatively tame
sport.
American fighters abroad who may
be able to get home are now expected
to scamper back A lot of foreign
fighters probably will come along with
them. It's pretty much of certainty
that Jack johnson would like to return,
too, but ne is afraid OF Uncle Sam. A
laugh was provoked along Broadway
when the papers announced that the
big smoke had volunteered and would
fight for France. 1t laughed louder
when it read that the negro had turned
over his five automobiles to the French
government. In the first place, John
son does not own five automobiles. He
owns two machines.
Those who know the black chfEn-
piOn well say there is as much chance
OF johnson going to the front as there
is of the Bank of England turning all
its resources over to the kaiser. The
negro likes his friend, chicken, too well
and hates the smell of powder too
mucn.
"Johnson, said Promoter Billy Glib.
son, "may be bear eat in the ring,
but bet that in a real battle he would
show all the instincts of mouse d"
Carl Morris, the Oklahoma giant, had
intended to sail for Europe at on early
date, but will stay at home now.
There are many people living in little
old New York who would like 70 see all
the white hopes 90 abroad and get in
tine general mixup. And they would
hate to see any merely trivial injuries
befall them, too.

AUSTRIANS REFUSE
TO FIGHT BRITISH
Austrian Naval Officers Refuse to Help
German Fleet Fight English Ships
Claim Austria and England Not
at War.
(By Henry Wood.)


Rome, Aug. S.-Austrian naval of
ficers have refused to help German
against British fighting ships, accord
ing to Italian officials mere today, on
the ground that AustrO- Hungary and
Great Britain are not at war.
1t is fact that up to today there had
been no exchange of declarations of
hostilities between the London and
Vienna governments. lnasmuch as
Great Britain and Germany have de-
clared war on one another however,
and Austria is Germany s ally, it was
taken for granted that Emperor Francis
Joseph would consider a state of war
existed between Austria and Great
Britain. 1t was thought here that if
proved true Austria had refused aid to
German ships, the incident surely would
strain AustrO-German relations.
Cruisers Call for Help.
The Italian account was given in con
nectiOn with reports concerning the Ger.
man cruisers Goeben and Breslau, which
took refuge at Messina from a superior
British and French naval force Dut were
compelled to sail because Italy, having
declared its neutrality, would not per-
NIT them to remain unless they dis
armed and stayed until the war was
over.
Though it was considered suicidal,
both vessels sailed Friday, hoping to
elude the enemy, which was on the
watch for them, and reach an Austrian
port.
Steaming into the Atlantic, the Ital.
ian version was that they picked up the
Austrian fleet by wireless and begged
assistance, which was refused them.
British Fleet Between.
A combined British and French fleet
is between the two cruisers and the
Austrian naval base at Trieste.
Surmises Friday that Germany was
delaying its threatened declaration of
war against Italy in the hope that it
might yet induce the Rome government
to throw in its lot with the fatherland
and Austria Hungary, were verified to-
day.
The kaiser evidently was determined
not to incur Italty S enmity while there
was the slightest hope of making it, his
friend. Both the German and Austrian
government were bringing the strongest
pressure on King Victor to join them
and it was said they were even promis-
ing him territorial reward if he would
lend them his aid.
1t was believed there was no chance
of ltaly's departure, however, from its
declaration of neutrality unless the
Teutonic allies declared hostilities
against the Italians, in which case it
was expected it would take up arms on
the side of the Anglo.FrancO- Russian
combination.
Montenegro, although its troops have
been fighting beside the Servians ever
since Austria Hungary declared war
against them formally proclaimed hos
tilities against Austria only last night.

offensive at Ilongkong. The British
government, knowing its own weakness
in the far cast, has made an offensive
and defensive alliance with Japan. by
this treaty Japan is bound to protect
British interests in the far east, even
in India. But if the Hindusthanees r.
fuse to handle the muskets and to pro-
tect the barracks, and dignifiedly refuse
to be martyrs for the protection of tho
British empire where they are treated
no better than slaves, will the Japan, e
navy and the handful of British soldiers
be sufficient to protect British inter
ests in the orient"
