George Cheney Hammers
Packey Hommey in Philly

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. l2.---Georse
Cheney, Of Baltimore. dealt out three
left-hand punches. each one Of which
dropped Packey Hommey at the Olym-
pic A. A., last night In the first round
Packey was caught near the ropes
and he went down. but only for q sec
ond or two. and went right ahead
lighting Cheney. The second round
was a succession Of mis- ups. with
honors more evenly divided. In the
third Cheney again put over his left
and Hommey went down for the
count Of nine.
That wallop took a lot of rackcy's
steam and also made him very lcaw
of his opponents left. Cheney con-
tinued to crowd in close and beat
Packey down. IIomn:cy was kept so
busy guarding his face that he had
little time to send in body punches,
which Cheney did not relish. In the
fifth Cheney was always busily after
Hommey. who was unable to deliver
telling punch. although he did
make q short rally towards the close
of the round. About the middle of the
sixth George once more landed his
left and Packey took a seat while
Referee O'Brien counted off nine
Then he got up and stalled out the
round, with Cheney working vigorous
ly to put an end to the bout before
the ball rang.

WAR WILL PREVENT
UNIVERSITY EVENT
Historic English Boat Race Has
Been Held Annually Since
1929 on Thames River.

LONDON. Jan. lc-lt is officially an
nounced in the Chronicle that there will
be no university boat race this year.
The contest was hardly possible. for
all the leading oarsmen at both oxford
and Cambridge have gone to the front
or are engaged In the training corps.
Instituted at Henley in 1899, the boat
race has been held annually without a
break for sixty years. The last time it
was abandoned was In 1855. during the
Crimean war. As soon as the treaty Of
Paris was signed the race was resumed.
and it has been contended for on the
Thames ever since.
When the present war started all
competitive sport ceased at oxford and
Cambridge. and, like the boat race
other intervarsity contests have been
abandoned. A few football matches
with public school teams have been
played and small athletics and sculiins
is casually INDUCED In. but only as
an aid TO military training.
