 The British troops began an ardent attack between Frezenberg and Ho- lebeke a front of about five miles in extent. They made several deter mined efforts to capture the German positions which they had some time previously raked with heavy ar tillery fire.

The burning questions of the day in the British papers are, will the breach with organized labor widen between it and the government, and how will the British delegates get to Stockholm when every sailor and marine stoker in Great Britain re- fuse to lend hand in carrying them there.
 The Stockholm conference has overnight assumed a gigantic inn portance when heretofore it has been regarded as fantastic and visionary.

FIERCE FIGHT FOR H0KE RIDGE
WHEN LABOR LEADER
 QUITS PRESS ACTIVE

LONDON, Aug. 12.-The resigna- tion of Arthur Henderson, the labor leader. who was a member of the Lloyd George cabinet is the sole to- pic of discussion here.
 The resignation was rendered as the inevitable sequence of the deci- sion of the labor party of which he is member to send delegates to the peace conference at Stockholm.
 The convention will be held on September 1 at the request of the Russian delegates.

So far the government has taken no steps to explain it's attitude to- wards the conference or whether it will continue to regard it with feel ings which are as antagonistic as some of the papers appear to indi- cate.
 In the meantime, the laborites are gathering strength for some def- nite action which may precipitate the gravest cabinet crisis that yet has been reported.

WASHINGTON, [. C., Aug. 12.- The Senate was all heated up for a while on Saturday when the I. w. w. strikes were the subject of spe- cial discussion.
 This doubtless is due to the pub licity given the Industrialists since the great strike in the western lum- Der industry and the now famous deportations in Arizona.
 It was contended that the I. w. w. should be outlawed and that steps be taken at once for that pur- pose.

Pennock and Weldon
 Wyckoff Failed To Make Good for Mack

2 This is the birthday of two of Eonnie Mack's castoff twirlers, Herb Pennock and J., Weldon Wyckoff. Both are Pennsylvanians, Wyckoff having been born on Feb. 19, 1892, and Pennock just two years later. Connie thought he had the makings of star so1thpaw when he discover ed Pennock in 1912. The kid had played in the semi-pro ranks, and had never had any minor league experi- ence At times in 1914 Herb showed qualities which caused Connie to hope that he had found his long sought successor to Eddie Plank and Rube WaddelI, the old southpaw stars of the Athletics, but in 1915 Connie de- 9ided that he wouldn't do, and sold h1rn to the Red SoX.
 The Boston club soon released him to the Providence Internationals. The tall tutor of the Athletics has tried out many lefthanders in the last few years, and Pennock is one of many who have passed into the discard.
 Wyckoff was one of Mack's college finds, and made his first reputation as a twirler at Bucknell, the institu- ton which turned out Christy Math- ewson. J. Weldon joined the Mack men in 1913, and remained with that ' club until the middle of last season, Box. Wyckoff's chief failing is ten dency to wildness which often bobs un at inoppcrtune times

Those Sheepshead Bay basketball stars who cleaned up the Blue Rib bons in seven straight games last season will appear at Colonial hall to- morrow night for the first time this season. The Sheepsheads had a great comb mbination last year but Man ager Leavy broke it up to some ex- tent when he signed Murray and Harvey for the Ribbons. In place of these tszo the Sheepshead manager secured Chris, Leonard and Roxey Roach.
 In orGer to make q good showing against the invaders Manager Leavy has secured Johnny Beckman and says he has made arrangements to have the crack forward play here for the balance of the season. Walter Swenson is finding it difficult to get away, from his job in the Guaranty Trust Go. in New York, and may not be able to play tomorrow night. The Ribbons had planned to use him against Norman of the visitors, but if SWenson cannot come Bruggy of Paterson will be used.

Golf Great Benefit
 to Mankind, Says
 Massachusetts Man

-Golf has many missionaries among the heather who know it not, and some very strong and convincing ar Guments may be derived by these pro- pagandists from a little card circu- lated by the Beverly, Mass, Evening Times. Here's what the Scotch game will do for you, according to The Hines:
 ''It is a science, the study of a 1ife- time. in which you may exhaust yourself but never your subject. = Tt is contest, a dGel or melee, calling for courage, skill, strategy. and self-control.
 < "It is test of temper, a trial of honor, revealer of character. 'It affords a chance to play the man, and act the gentleman.
 'Tt means going into Gods out-of- doors, getting close to nature, fresh air, exercise. a sweeping away of mental cobwebs, genuine recreation of the tired tissues. :.
 'It is cure for care---an- -antidote to worry
 / .sIt includes companionship with friends, social intercourse, opportun- tty for courtesy, kindliness and gen. erosity to an opponent.
 '.It promotes not only physical health, but moral force"
 l. And-7-although the card doesn't mention it---golf adds a lot of neV words to the vocabulary. !

Jem Smith, Former
 English Fighter, Had
 Long Go With Kilrain

lJem Smith, the las. heavyweight champion of England under London prize ring rules, founght his last bat tie 20 years ago today, when he lost to George Crisp in five rounds at New castle. Smith was a ~fair fighter, but he added no glory to the long roll of British prize ring champions who had preceded him. Smiths last battle under the old rules was fought in 1889 at Bruges, Belgium, with Frank Elavin as his opponent. They went IA rounds to a draw. In 1887 Smith fought 106 rounds to a draw with Jake Kilrain for the worlds heavy weight championship under prize ring rules This historic contest was staged in France, and Kilrain had the better of the argument. Jem was also defeated by Peter Jackson in two rounds in London.
 Since the days when Smith was in his prime England has never had a good heavyweight. The foutlawing of prizefighting meant the death of pugi1ism in England, so far as the big fellows were concerned, although the '.tight little island has turned out scofes of great little men. Great Britain has not produced real worlds champion heavyweight since Jem Mace-and Jem was not a real heavyweight, although he licked all the best of the big fellows on both sides of the Atlantic.

MORAN AND CARL
 MORRIS IN NEXT
 BIG FISTIC EVENT

New York Feb. 19-The next bout scheduled for Madison Square Garden Win be perpetrated by Francis Charles Moran and Carl Morris, the 6apulpa Giant. The Darcy Mccoy bout has been mercifully called off through the beneficent intervention of John Weismantle, the eminent Brooklyn philanthropist and pacifist
 John, it seems, has prior claim to the services of Mccoy, and insists on ipressing the same. Grant Hugh Browne according to reports, had agreed to pay Darcy s30,o00, Mccoy S1O,OOO, and had contracted for other expenses which would bring the total of his card up to $50,0OO.
 Now, in the interests of science we will admit that the New York fight fans are the most patient suckers in the world, always ready to separate ' themselves from their rolls. But they have their lucid moments and they would never pool $50,000 to see Dar- cy and Mccoy The new managers of the Garden came out about $S,OOO shy on the Fulton -Weinert thing. The deficit on the Marcy Mccoy office would be at least double that. The wind has been tempered to Grant Hugh Browne.

B. H. s. BOYS DEFEAT
 TORRINGTON TOSSERS

In fast, we'll played and clean game of basketball the local High school boys Saturday defeated the Torrington High school aggregation by 33 to 27 in the High school gym. At the beginning it looked like a walkaway for the Hilltop lads, the score at the end of the first half be- ing 19 to 5.
 On account of their lead the locals thought they would take things easy in the second half but soon found that the Torrington lads had not lost cour- age, so the old combination of Pious and Cuneo got to work and helped swell the score much to the disadvant- age. of Torrington. Pullen and Pond worked well for Torrington.
 In the prelim the Stamford High school girls defeated the local girls by 25 to g, thus eliminating them from the race for the state champion. s1 in.

offered about the only opportunities Weinert had to land a blow. If the use of his right leaves Fulton open in this way, he would be compelled to use it for defensive tactics entirely against a man who was his match.
 Just how much punishment Fulton can take is a question. His bout with Weinert was so one-sided that he did not receive a single blow that hurt. He hasn't the appearance of A boxer who could take a hard grueling. He hasn't the fierce aggressiveness which usually marks a good fighting man. Fulton showed a weak jaw in his bout with Reich some time ago. Weinert had no opportunity to see if the jaw was still weak
 On his physical makeup alone Full ton is the only heavyweight in the ring today who at all matches Cham pion Willard. Fulton is almost as large if not quite as heavy as the champion. A Willard-Fulton bout should be the logical heavyweight mill of the near future. After the usual period of dickering this bout will un- doubtedly be arranged. Men will be willing to pay big money to see them in the ring.
 Fulton, however, has yet to show that he is a match for the champion. Tn none of his bouts has he proved that he can take the punishment that Willard took for many rounds from that ringmaster, Jack Johnson. Will lard has proved that he can take a hard pummeling and Fulton has not Fulton apparently needs more ex- perience in the ring before he will be able to give Willard a hard battle.

New York, Feb. 19--Because Fred into chopping block the other night, there is a disposition to make the Minnesota giants boxing performance look a lot more important than it really is. Weinert isn't exactly little, but he compared with Fulton, seemed dimunitive. The. bout went less than two rounds, and the opposition which the Newark boxer was able to show against man of such marked phy sical advantages was not the kind to give any definite line on Fulton's S ability.
 Fulton has filled out considerably, and an addition of 20 pounds, to- gether with an improved muscular development about the arms and shoulders, give him a better physical makeup than he had in his first bout here against Al Reich. This addi- tional strength alone will enhance his chances against Willard, if they ever meet Fulton was so big in every way that he simply overwhelm- ed Weinert. His reach and height were so great that Weinert had no chance whatever to get at him.
 Fulton has handy left hand which he uses to good advantage. It has power behind it, for it raised havoc with Weinert's face early in the bout, and must have been pretty solid to loosen the Newark boxers teeth. Whether Fulton's right hand is more useful than before will not be known until he meets a boxer who can give him a better fight than Weinert. The few times that Fulton used his right

 on the Baseball Team

Philadelphia, Feb. 19-Forty cam didates for the University of Pennsyl- vania baseball team are working Nln- der the direction of Coach Roy Thomas in the college gymnasium.
 The majority of last years players, who are still in college, have report ed, and they have been augmented by several good men from the fresh man nine of last season. Eddie Mo Nichol, the first baseman on the 1916 team, was one of the few members of last years squad, who did not re- port. Eddie is now playing basket ball.
 Two of the best players on last years freshman nine have left the university. They are Thayer, a first string catcher, and Weaver, an out fielder, who, it is said. would rank with the best in college ranks. At present Joe Coates, former St. Joseph's star, Is the only candidate for the first base post, and it is very likely that he will give Eddie McNichol hard run for the position. ates was the batting star of the 1916 class team.
