New Plan Being Tried Out by Box

wrinkle in boxing. II took the man
agcmcnt of the Sharkcy \. c. to in
vent this novel idea, and the patrons
Of the club are highly pleased with it.
Here's how it's done
As each patron enters the club he is
handed card on which ne is request
ed to write the names Of the men he
thinks wins each bout. At the end #
the show ne is requested To deposit his
ticket in a box provided for the pur-
pose. The boxer receiving the most
decisions-or vOtes-is given silver
belt. providing he receives verdict
on six different occasions. He is also
paid according To his worth as boxer
Why wouldn't il be a good idea for
the Garden A. G. and other clubs to
adout the same plan? Then the fans
might not dispute some of the decis-
ions of the experts on the various pa
pers as they often do now. Then real
popular decisions could b. secured, and
the patron would have just as much 20
say in the rendering OF a decision as
the average referee. The papers would
publish the result Of the count and let
it go at that.
How the Shartey A. {. hit upon the
novel popular decision plan follows:
When il was proposed 10 have Jack
Johnson fight some white man in this
city some months back the state boz
ing commission Immediately ruled that
there must be no mixed hghts-that -
a white man couldn't meet a colored
man in a ring in this state.
AS the nrst-cla colored boxers are
now u mere handful, the Importance "i
this cdict wasn't realized. When the
announcement was made the fans be-
lievcd that outside of Johnson ltng-
ford, jeanette and maybe, one on two
more there weren't enough classy ne

down by the boxing commission have

But when they made this rule mo-

trial communities on Southern farms,
and to plan methods of caring for the
horde of foreigners that will probably
come TO this country at the close of the
European conflict
Secretary Wilson will deliver the
opening address at the conference. The
Southern Commercial Congress will
have the cooperation of the Depart
ment of Labor in this work, and Mr.
T. V. Powderly, chief of the division
of information of the Bureau of Immi-
grafton, has been designated to actively
assist in arranging for the meeting.
The conference is called, it is stat
ed, to determine Southern immigra-
tion policy, and to work out a prac.
teal plan by which the South can take
advantage of existing opportunities
There are thousands of immigrant fam.
lies in our industrial communities,
either out of work or on short time,
that have been working and saving for
years in order to be able to return to
Europe and purchase agricultural homes
who are now prevented from leaving
this country. Many of these people
no longer desire to return abroad in
view of the economic burden which the
war has placed on the countries of Eu-
rope, and large groups can be placed on
Southern farms if the proper efforts are
made to secure them.
Large numbers of European immi-
grants, many of whom will be prac.
tically destitute. will come to the Unit
ed States at the close of 'hostilities in
I In IA,
advisability of attempting to utilize
this class of people on the farm lands
of the South will also be considered.
Preparations are being made to have
representatives of the foreign press in
this country, and officials of the more
important of the immigrant societies to
attend the conference. In addition to
Secretary Wilson, other high officials of
the federal government will also be in
attendance.
The fact that the South possesses
peculiar opportunities and advantages
in this instance is fully realized by the
officials Of The Southern Commercial
Congress and they will see that the CON
| ference directs its attention to devils
ing a system of financing agricultural
settlements in the Southern States and
to the task of establishing an immigra-
tion service capable of properly han
ding and directing this important
work.
A large attendance is expected for
the subject of immigration is now pro
voking considerable attention through
out the country, and is commanding
serious consideration on the part of the
Government. 1t is already being urged
that postoffice officials, and the county
agents of the Department of Agricul
ture cooperate with the federal immi-
grafton officials and state officials in eff
fecting proper distribution of immi-
grants to the agricultural regions.
