Boxing in Oklahoma City this winter
should be better than during any sea
son since the days of l9o7-oS.e9 when
the game was At lts best here
There are many reasons why the ilS.
tic fans should cNpcct many treats this
winter. The most notable reason is
that there are now two tull-ilcdgcd.
active boxing clubs here, assuring am
average OF more than one card a week
Another reason Is that the county at
torney has announced that he does not
believe boxing IS IN violation of the
law and that he won't interfere so long
as prizefighting is not attempted. Still
another reason is that taudom again Is
looking with a favorable eye ON the
ring game.

RUMANIA TO JOIN
ENTENTE ALLIES
--ATHENS REPORT

Athens, March 19.-(Nia Paris, March
2W.-The impression prevails in high po-
ltical circles at Athens that Rumani;,
shortly will abandon her policy of neu-
trality in favor of the Entente Allies.
Should Humania enter the war Greek
officials would be placed in an embarrass-
ing position, the force of which already is
felt. Military representatives of the En-
tente Allies do not disguise the fact that
at present they have no need for Greece
and do not desire to assume responsibility
for maintenance and equipment OF the
Greek army unless they are assured deti-
nitely of cooperation in the event Of an
allied offensive in Macedonia.
The course of the fighting at Verdun
has produced a marked impression OH
even the most determined non-interven-
tionists and the royalst press is chang
ing it's tone in regard to participation of
Greece in the war. The feeling of allied
diplomatists seems to be that if Greece
desires to enter the war now she will
have to do SO on her own initiative and
with no conditions with respect to terri
torial compensation.
