AMBULANCE FUND WILL
HAVE TO BE DIVERTED
Government Informs Tennis Officials
Plans Provided Not Needed
at Present

The large fund raised by the Ma
tional Lawn Tennis association by
means of exhibition matches last sum-
me-, which was to have been used for
the purchase of ambulances, may have
to be diverted to other channels, ac-
ccrding to an announcement from
New York. Recently the United
states government has taken over the
ambulance service and they. have in
formed the tennis officials THAT the
amhulances they planned to provide
are not needed just at present.
Most OF the fund, which has reached
a totcl of $4,000, was raisd thru the
exhibition matches between Miss
Molla Bjurstedt and Miss May *.
Browne. Just what disposition of IL
will be made II the government de-
clines TO accept the funds for ambu-
lances is not known.
Secretary Il. +. Torrey of the Ma
tional Tennis association, explains that
the fact that the government took
over the ambulance service abrogated
the agreement between the tennis au-
lthorities and officials of the Red
Cross.
I lie further says that thus far he
has>beeur able to get no definite state
ment from the government concerning
their intentions in regard to the ten
mis- ambulance fund. A meeting OF the
association is scheduled in New York
December z, at which time the mat.
ter Will be worked out.

TENPINNERS TO RAISE
BIG WAR SERVICE FUND

Bowlers of the country. not to be
outdone by the stars of other sports
who have raised large sums for dif-
ferent war benefits. will within the
next few days open campaign thru
which they hope to raise at least
100000 for the service funds. 1t, Is
planned to raise the money In the
same manner that the billiard players
raised their ambulance fund.
During the season Charles Evans,
Francis Ouimet and other golfers
PLAYED matches for the benefit OF the
Red Cross; the tennis stars supplied
an ambulance corps, and the billiard
lists raised fund and now come the
tenpinners. These sport bodies have
raised good sums for worthy causes.
If the present plans go thru, 1t is
expected that each alley owner in the
country and there are about one hun
dred thousand of them, will give 81.
This will give a neat sum Of 500, 900
to start with. - The remainder of the
sum would be collected from the ten
pinners and from different tourna-
ments.

PACKEY M'FARLAND TO
FIGHT MIKE GIBBONS
Permission Granted by War
Department for Contest to
Aid Soldiers Fund.

CHICAGO, Dec. C. Mike Glib
bons and Packev Mcfarland will get
together in a boxing contest in Chi
cago some time this month, accord
ing to advices from the Windy city
yesterday. Negotiations for such a
match were opened several weeks ago.
They took definite shape last week
when John l.. Griffith, director OF
sports at Camp Dodge, Des Moinea,
Iowa, obtained permission from war
athletic authorities to stage the event
in Chicago around December rs.
Gibbons Is instructor Of, boxing at
Fort Dodge, while Mcfarland is EN-
ployed i'm a similar capacity at Camp
Macarthur, Texas. The entire proceeds
of the bout will go TO the athletic
funds of the two cantonments.
1t will be remembered that Mike
and Packey engaged In ten-roun1
sketch at Brighton Beach, New York,
several years ago. At this time NC,
forced Gibbons to traip down to lt5
pounds. AS a result Mike was {,
mere shadow of himself, his strength
sapped, and Mcfarland won by u
shade in rather a tame bout.
This time it probably will be a diff
ferent story. Since Packey retires
from active service in the ring he has
added not little heft and is leSlt-
innate middleweight now. There are
any number of places in Chicago where
such a bout could be staged and it's q
certainty that it will go down la
puguistic history as one of the big
gest ever attempted.
Chicago bugs idolize Mcfarland.
They believe Packey the best boxer the
welter division ever saw and only re
Gently he was urged to return to Sthe
lring. Moreover Gibbons has a large
following there, too. And If the boys
get together. more than one wagering
gentleman will have a bet down that

Chester l.. Brewer, director of ath-
let!cs at the Michigan Agricultural
college, has decided to re-organize
the -atpetic system. His new plan
provides that every male student
must take athletic work. brewer
agrees with certain leading athletic
directors who have declared that the
old system of training few athletes
and leaving the great majority Of
male students to shift for themselves,
is radically wrong. Brewer plans, to
organize his athletic classes on Mill
tary basis. Incidentally, he hopes TO
develop many finds for baseball,
