Fight Promoters Feel
Steps Are Being Taken to
Kill Boxing Game
By W. o. MCCLELLAN

Freddie Welsh, who is lightweight
champion without being lightweight
has decided 20 erase the color line. IL
is announced that he will take on Leo
Johnson. the hunk Of Harlem coke, pro,
vided that Leo is on his feet and sun
healthy after going ten ROUNDS WIN
Joe yelling at the Harlem sporting
Club on Friday night. =,
Just supposing that Leo, the pride OF
195tb Street. should dispose OF yelling
and Immediately afterward tap Fred
erick emphatically upon the chin. The
lightweight title, such as 1t is, would
revert TO the Harlem Senegambian, and
once more the clarion call would go
forth TO have "the title brought back
to the white race"
But such q calamity is barely pos
sible. While the Uptown Ethiope is
heralded as Second Joe Cans" he is
as much like the former lightweight
champion as John the Barber IS like
John ID. Rockefeller. If yelling does
not pulverize the lump of coal he might
as we'll smack his championship ambl-
lions right on the forehead in one long
and sad farewell.
Frederick is a bold lad to erase the
color line at this bright and particular
moment. The color line does not mean
what it meant to lghtweights in the
days when the sad-faced Joe Cans was
abroad knocking them cold. except
ing when he was handcuffed by man
agerisl agreement.
Will the heavyweight champion ever
erase the color line? Perhaps, but IL
will be after Sam Langford, Sam McVey
and Joe Wills have gone to join "Old
Black Joe"
There is a general feeling among
boxing promoters that some strenuous
measures are being prepared to kill the
boxing game. One of the cautious pro-
motors. in renewing a lease for box
ing club, had stipulated in il that IN
the event of boxing being abolished by
the Legislature the lease was to De can
celled.
If this should happen the voracious
promoters will have only themselves 10
blame. The way that they have han
died their seating arrangements at
some of the clubs recently has been a
crime and 4 shame. Patrons have
bought tickets and have been refused
admittance Others have paid for box
seats and been forced TO stand. while
members of the Annie Oakley brigades,
politicians and friends of the promoters
have occupied the seats.
The wolfshness and incompetence Of
some of the fight promoters eventually
will turn the long suffering fight fans
against the game. And when these pa
tent worms turn something will smash.
Now that Grant Hugh Browne is to
become boxing impresario at Madison
Square Garden, Les Darcy once again
is as loose as ashes. Tex Rickards
agreement TO handle Darcy's interest
was contingent upon his getting the
Garden. Now that this chance has van

LABOR ON THE FARMS.

Americans, says the Spokesman Re-
view, are so unused to thinking of con-
servation of food, although it has this
year became momentous matter, that
it is not to be the easiest of enterprises
to persuade them to think of it duly.
Despite gaps and failures in the Amer
lean distribution of food, there has al
ways been food to spare, with the re-
suit of waste of food. Serious need for
looking to the future and calculating
how we were to fare next year has not
hitherto presented itself. 1t is calcu-
lated both that the country has pro-
duced twice as much food as the people
really required and that the titled area
and the farmers could have produced
almost twice as much, if our agricul-
ture were scientific and efficient, as
the actually did.
This year we first confront genu-
inc peril. But danger of its culmina-
tion appears SO remote to most Ameri-
cans that few take serious thought.
The department of agriculture endeav-
ors to awake the people, but they do
not realize that some important har-
vests last year fell relatively short and
that both the foreign and domestic de-
mands for the supply were unwontedly
large. This year we entered upon the
season of plowing, planting, and SOW
ing with smaller reserves and greater
drains than usual. There appears to be
every probability that before the har-
vests can be gathered the enlarged de-
mand will have grown decidedly. Yet

American means of production are not
unlikely to be deminished considerably.
Forming and performing plans for
coping with the serious situation are
tasks about equivalent to recruiting,
organizing, equipping and drilling a
great army and putting it into active
service fit for its work. In the effort
to create an agricultural army the
greatest difficulty consists in obtaining
an adequate supply of labor. But this
is vitality indispensable. Without it
victories of industry and war will be
humanity impossible of achievement.
An army crawls on its belly, modern
war is the work of every class and in
dustry and interest in a nation. and all
must work together to feed the soldier
and the sailor. To this end the farm
er, the feeder of the nation and the first

enabled to secure an adequate supply
of labor on the farm.
