BOXING NOTES

5soyne of the British boxing promoters
 seem to be as backward as their A1ner7 ican cousins in taking a tip from headouarters. Some time ago it was | Ifnted very strongly by the British Minister for Foreign Affairs that he would not tolerate a match between arcolored fighter and white man. This expression from the government was intended as a. pointer for those pro motors who had been trying to match up Jack Johnson and Bonnbardied
 Wells; also Gunboatt Smith and Sam ILangford, and Langford and Wells But they failed to take the hint and
 went right along trying to match up the colored star with white man. As a, result a government official last week gave the promoters to understand just where they were at and intfmated that any attempt to hold such a contest would not. only be nipped in the bud3 but that it might hurt the boxing game in general. In other words, the promoter was told to keep within the limit, otherwise he would be put out of business. The reason for this stand by the government is the fact that Britain has many Colonies with mill lions of co7ored subjects and reports such as went out at the time Johnson beat Jeffries, did a great deal of harm. Contests of a minor nature between white and 'fcolored boxers would not be interfered with, but the moment the prominent ones are OIOu8nC 1nLO the limeIight, it is an entirely different question And that seems to be the same view taken by the New York Boxing Commission during the past year.
 Johnny Grif1th, the Akron. O., light weight, made a statement less than six months ago, that he would be fight ing for the title within two years and from the way Johnny is travelling just now, 1t will not be surprising if the prediction comes true. He is certainly one of the fastest and cleverest boxers in the country today. But in most of his battles he apparently lacked
 the knockout punch. Johnny showed splendid form in his contest with Char ley White of Chicago. And last week he showed that he is developing a punch by knocking out Willie Jones of Brooklyn, N. F.. in five rounds. Just now Johnny is busy trying to get on g. match with Charley White or Wo1gast. as he figures that match with Cham pion Ritcf1e depends a great deal on what he can do against the little Gichi- gan bearcat and the Chicago Hebrew fighter. If Saylor returns to the States in time. it is possible that Griffith will be matched with the Hoosier boy for July 4th, or one of the best dates fin August.

ARCfNTA SALOON
 PETITION PRINTED

Little Rock, Oct 16.-The Argenta Retail Liquor Associations petition, which was started in circulation Oc- tober ?, asking for reopening of the saloons for the remainder of this year, was completed yesterday, and in ac- cordance with the Going law was pub- lished on the first of two days. After a ten-day interim, application will be made to County Judge Asher for is- suance of licenses. The liquor deal CTS say they have 2,64O names.
 As the census of adult residents at the time of the last petition showed 1868, and it is believed that a count at the present time would show much smaller figure, the saloonists say they have a large majority in favor of saloons.
 By decision of Judge G. w. Hen- dricks, based on the fact that the Argenta saloonists' former petition lacked majority of residents of Ar genta as signers, the saloons have been closed since September 26.

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR

In the northwest of Belgium the Germans are rapidly bringing their forces to the coast. They have oc- cupled Bruges, about IA miles east of Ostend, and have appeared at Blakenberghe, on the North sea, some IF miles north of Ostend. In the meantime the allies have thrown a strong line out to the south with the object of shutting off Calais and other French ports on the English channel. The allies occupy Ypres and their line is believed to extend almost directly northward to Nieuwport. This territory within the next few days doubtless will be the scene of heavy fighting if the reported plans of the Germans are carried out.

The latest French official statement announces gains on many points on the front, including the taking of Es- taires, an advance of about two kilo- meters in the center on the north and east of Rheims and a further advance on the heights of the Mouse to the south of St. Mihiel. Achievements have reached both the Germans and the allies on their right and left wings, respectively, and these need only to be placed in their proper po- sitions on the front for the blow to be struck, which may prove to be a decisive stroke for one side or the other.
