NEW YORK, Nov. 17-Here's a real

entered in the six-day bicycle race
here got in training for the event by
running from the Germans Linart
admits that he won the now famous
dash from Antwerp when the Ger

Linart is the middle distance cham

Linart went to Folkstone. England
where he was a refugee. A German
shell wrecked his home during the
bombardment and Antwerp and he
lost his racing outfit. This did not
interfere with his speed in reaching

Some SideIigbis on the Sporting Game

And they put the kibosh on box
fighting in California That means
the easy game of hippodrome through
ten rounds in New York or some
other eastern city and laying for
fight on the Coast" won't be a prof.
table pastime in the future. Taking
California off the pugilistic map is a
real body blow to the fight game.
More champions have been made and
unmade in rings pitched in that State
than in any other in the Union Es-
pecially have the big lightweight
fights blossomed there. Henceforth
it will take considerable looking
around to find location for long dis
tance fights with any reasonable as
surance of a gate especially with the
class of fighters now cluttering up
the horizon.
The change in administration is not
expected to have any effect on. the
fight game in New York. Operating
under the Frawley law fight clubs
have prospered here and the prOmot-
ers do not believe they will be dis
! turbed. Charles J. Harvey, secretary
of the State Athletic Commission, de-
clares the game was never in a
healthier state in New York than at
present. Harvey was not surprised
at the turn taken by affairs in Calf
fornia. He said Jim Coffroth tipped
him a year and half ago that things
were about to happen.
