Philadelphia CIubman Suggests

makes an ardent plea that some of
the old time heavyweight champions
be permitted to re-enter the ring.
Biddle's request is conditional. He
asks that such grizzled veterans as
Bob Fitzsimmons, Kid Mccoy and
philadelphia jack OBrien fight ic
out among themselves to determine
the "old mems" supremacy. Each of
the notables mentioned has expressed
an earnest desire to don ring regalia
and to rub his feet in rosin.

Germany on Hustle
For 1916 0lympiad

BERLIN Jan. 24.-Germany is max
ing every possible effort to gain at least
third place at the Olympic games of
1916. With the sending to America of a
study commission, the Importation of a
first-cla American trainer, and the
promise of 100000 as subsidy from the
Empire and Prussia the matter has
taken definite shape. Six months hence
the competitors will have been chosen.
BY thus starting early Germany hopes
to overtake at least two of her visitors
Of 1912. In 1912 she was beaten on
points by America, Sweden, Great Bri-
tain and Finland. The present calcula-
tons Is that in 1916 Sweden will not
maintain her position and that Germany
has a chance Of beating both her and
Finland.
