New Unions in Boulder County On Ac-
count Of Great tungsten Demand;
Other Notes Of Interest

Denver labor people have been watch
ing with interest the developments in
Arizona in the controversy between the
copper niue owners and the members
OF the Western Federation of Miners,
some 5000 OF whom have been out for
better conditions since September IL, be-
cause the headquarters are located in
Denver. and all our labor people are
naturally Interested in seeing the boys
win out.
There have been a series OF confer
ences the pact few days in FL Paso and
some progress has been made, but at the
tim. OF going to press negotiations were
still in the air. The mine owners are
terribly stiff -necked. and the miners are
firm. although number OF minor points
have been agreed upon. Not one def
mite proposition of the miners has been
rejected OF accepted. The miners have
Offered to submit theis -age demand to
arbitration. and have really gone very
lar in the. effort to bring about peace.
II l. expected that something definite

Secretary Treasurer Ernest Mills Of
the Western Federation Of Miners says
be has some hope that an amicable set

the DELAY and continuance of the nego-
tiations may b. for good. He says the
men ere as determined a. ever, and are
pleased with the stand taken by Gov.

COLUMBIA CHANGES
ITS ATHLETIC CODE
Hereafter Freshmen Will Be
Ineligible for Any Major
Teams.

Freshmen will be barred from all
major sport teams at Columbia next
year, and no graduate of another uni
versity who may be student at Co.
lumbia will be eligible hereafter to
place on any Columbia team. This an
nouncement was made by the univer-
sity committee on athletics yesterday.
Another change in the eligibility code
provides that no student. after com
peting for Columbia for four years in
a major sport, will be eligible.
These new rules are the first radical
changes Columbia has made in its ath-
letic code in fifteen years. although 1t
has been urged that freshmen be barred
from its major teams at least for seven
years. Freshmen will still be eligible
to compete on minor sports teams, with
the exception of basketball and fencing,
from which they are barred by league
rules.
The playing of graduates OF other
colleges on Columbia teams was re-
sponsible for a great deal of under
graduate criticism on Morningside
Heights during the past winter. 1t Will
mean that Laird, the old Princeton out
fielder; Alec Wilson, the former Yale
fancy diver. and many others Will be
barred from Columbia teams hence
forth leaving all places open to Column
bia undergraduates.
No coach for the varsity football
team has been selected as yet, but a
schedule is practically ready.

OUTDOOR BOXING
DRAWS WELL AT
EBBETS FIELD
Crowds Cheer as Bartfeld
Holds Gibbons to Close
Decision.

Twelve thousand spectators set the
seal Of approval on open air boxing
at Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon.
Five ten-round bouts were contested,
and few indeed were the spectators
who left. This is the first battle fought
in this city, or this vicinity, out Of
doors since Terry McGovern won the
hantamweight championship of the
world from Pedlar Palmer, at Tucka-
hoe sixteen years ago.
But now that the fans have had their
taste Of boxing under conditions that
were really ideal, there IS little doubt
that shows held in the open air will be-
come as popular here as they were in
California After hve years OF watch
ing boxing bouts in superneated clubs
where the air was SMOKE laden and i'm
pure, the enthusiasts hailed the chance
to get out under the sun, where the
boys could show at their best. The
fighters also hailed the chance, and
the pace was fast in every bout from
the time that Dutch Brandt landed his
first left jab on Battling Lain until
AL Mccoy missed his last wild swing
on Silent Martin.
To start the ball rolling Dutch
Brandt defeated Battling Lain after a
rafting bout, coming through in the
last five rounds Then Battling Le-
whisky outboxed Dan (Porky) Flynn.
The surprise of the afternoon, however,
came when Soldier Bartheld held Nike
Gibbons to a close decision, and al
though outpointed ly a fair margin,
was hailed BY the crowd for his brave
showing. Johnnie Dundee knocked out
Johnnie Drummie in two rounds OF a
one-sided battle. The last bout re-
suited in a draw, and Al Mccoy was one
of the principals, with Silent Martin
the other.
Soldier Bartfield astounded the
crowd by his work against Gibbons. II
was only that Mike landed his punches
straight and according to the Queens
berry rules that won for him.
The bout between Lcyinsky and
Flynn was fast for big men. Levinsky
scored a knockdown in the second
round and outboxed his man easily.
He weighed 179 pounds to 1913 pounds
for Flynn.
Experience and strength won for
Dundee over Drummie. The speedy
little Italian was entirely too good for
the Jersey boy and had the additional
advantage of five pounds in weight.
A left and right hand punch TO the
jaw, landing simultaneously, brought
the bout to close.

time, and the suit for damages is still
pending, but may be settled this month.
Charley Thomas, a newspaper man,
was kicked in the face by a horse in
the paddock just before the fourth
race. He will carry the marks of his
experience for many a day, but fort
unately was not seriously injured.
Jack GoldsborouPh got in from
Louisville with Roamer, which ran
unplaced in the Kentucky Handicap
last Saturday. He said the horse ap-
peare4 to ship well. Asked about the
race, he remarked dryly: Mud on top
Ct heavy impost."
Jimmy Batwell also returned from
Kentucky and the clever rider will
be welcome. He accepted the mount
on Flittergold in the Toboggan.
