Boxing Mems and Notes

Most Of the interest in the rather
unique card that will be put on at
tho Manhattan Casino tonight will
centre en- Freddie Welsh.
Benny Leonard has notified the man
agement of the Manhattan that an in
jured hand will keep him from psrtici-
patton in the fight ard planned there
for tonight. Leonard also has cancelled
his scheduled bout with frankie Cal
lahan for Friday night at the Harlem
club.
This IS Comeback" for Welsh. He
is attempting to do what many fighter
has tried 20 do before him and failed.
The comebacks are rare specimens in
FistiaDa. But, like all the others, Welsh
thinks he can regain his old form, and
he is at least entitled TO chance to
show how much nc has come back.
This will be the first time the former
lightweight champion has donned the
gloves sineo Benny Leonard showed him
of his throne. lie says he has been
taking a course of training on his own
health farm and is better than ever,
which is what they all think when they
are trying to regain their lost laurels
His opponent will be Jimmie Paul. and.
a, the distance will be only six rounds,
Freddie should easily hold his own.
How much Of chance he has to reg
lister n real comeback will depend not
so much on the outcome of the battle
tonight as the manner in which he
conducts himself In his championship
DAYS Welsh was pressed TO protect him
self through a ten-round bout to retain
his title. But TO make ar impressive
showing now he has got to do some
thing more than just stay the limit.
Welsh says he wants 10 wager $4,000
on his chance TO beat Leonard if the
latter will give him a return match.
Il is more than likely that he is speak
ing right through his managers hat.
Welsh is we'll beyond the age when
athletes improve. no matter how well
they have taken care Of themselves,
while Leonard is getting better right
along.

LAND SPECTATORS
BLOCK Government
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel


NEW YORK, March 2S.-Among the
obstacles blocking the states plan to
take the Rockaway Neck Lands need
ed by the government for fortification
purposes are the manipulation of
of shrewd land spectators and lack of
patriotism on the part of interests rep
resented in the Rockaway Pacific cor
Grafton" Deputy Attorney General
Becker declared here today in an argu-
ment before the federal circuit court of
appeals.
Mr.. Becker appeared for the state on
the application of the land corporation
to have temporary INDUCTION made
permanent pending the suit of the cor
poration to restrain condemnation of
the land needed for new fort now be-
ing erected. Protesting that the cor
poration did not wish to impede ma
tional defense, the land company's at
torneys argued that the states at
tempts to take the land did not provide
just compensation and did not proceed
by due process of law" 1t was as
serted that the state had assumed the
functions of the federal government
when it attempted to take the property
for fortification purposes.
Mr.. Beckers statement was in reply
to these contentious. He asked the
court to disregard the affidavits of the
so called experts" who declared the
value of the land exceeded $4,000, 900
and to consider only thhe sworn tax
statements of the treasurer of the
company that the entire acreages at
Rockaway Neck had value of $685.
500. pointing out that the state is TAX
ing only half the acreage. He asserted
that the Rockaway Pacific corpora
ton, alias the Southern Pacific rail-
road had failed to show that the ST.
100000 appropriation made by the state
was inadequate.
Decision was reserved by the court.

dOn)-The factory WOrkmen have re-
versed the usual order and prevented
a strike threatened By the bosses
who had been deposed or had had their
authority curtailed as the result of the
new liberty and equality. In a certain
munitions factory the disgruntled adj
ministration seeing their old berths
slipping from their grasp decided to
declare the factory on strike, but the
Workmen, inspired by the appeals of
the new government for their support,
refused to walk out. On the contrary,
they insisted that the foremen direct
ing the engineers should begin work
with them at daybreak and put in an
equal number of hours.
Every hour is precious declared
the spokesman of the workers. I'VE
must work to support our comrades at
the front. Every man who goes on
strike will be treated as a traitor. A
patriotic spirit appears to have gripped
the workmen. One group has given as
surance that the eight hour day-uni-
versally applicable now-will not OPP
crate to diminish the output since, if
it is necessary. the men will work six
teen hours daily.
At a meeting of engineers, however,
a more pessimistic view was expressed.
Many complaints were lodged that the
workmen had changed Roles and in
sisted upon debating terms as to hours
and conditions. One of the chief
sources of protest is the insistence of
the workmen that they GUST uncongen-
ial administrators and replace them
with men of their own choosing, often
from their own ranks. The appoint
ment of an arbitration board formerly
demanded bv the Workmen, now is de-
sired by the bosses, but declined by
the workmen.
Instances are recorded of workmen
disciplining their former bosses" by
carrying them in wheelbarrow, head
enveloped in a sack, and depositine
them on a dump. The condition ex-
acted for reinstatement was an dpCi-
ogy for past offenses.
Delegates have been chosen by the
engineers who hope to arrange annie
able relations through the council OF
workmen and the ministry of trade and
industry. Some factories already are
working out plan of profit sharing.
