Uncle Sam Should Take
Over the Boxing Game

The outrageous imposition last
night at Madison Square Garden
on a multitude of spectators who
paid high. to witness boxing for
tile benefit of Army athletic funds
shows that boxing should be
taken over by Uncle Sam. He
has taken over the big railroads
of the country and is conducting
them in a successful financial and
practical manner, and will soon
probably take full control of all
the large telegraph and telephone
companies, there is no good reason
why the government should not
game, especially during the war.
This suggestion may seem
rather illogical and illusory to
most people, but it is quite
feasible and practical. Boxing
under the present disorganized
condition is not progressive nor
productive of good results.
No sport can thrive and make
much headway without proper
control and organization. Fisti-
anna is really the only game that
is not conducted by a governing
body. Champions are allowed to
make their own weights, fight
when the spirit or big financial
inducement moves them. They
have become absolute dictators
and have no regard for rules of
reason whatsoever. They have no
consideration for the public and
should be either regulated or
eliminated.

LEW TENDLER
SHADES CLINE
Soldier Bartfield Also Gets
Decision at Shibe Park
Over Harry Greb

Lew Tender. the Philadelphia fav-
orite and demon lightweight, out
fought Patsy Cline. of New York, in
six rounds last evening at Shibe
Park, before 1900 spectators.
Soon after the start of the fifth
Tender spun his left into Cline's face
and crossed a right on the side of his
head. Cline came back with a right
uppercut that found its mark on
Lewis ear.
Lew did a little forcing of his own
and forced Cline back against the
ropes. They stood in the middle OF
the ring and swung for more than a
minute. Neither would back up. The
crowd cheered like wild as the bell
rang. with Cline on the long end.
They came out of their corners in
the last round and Immediately went
into clinch. Cline buckled a right
to Tenders head, but Tender came
back and held him even for a while,
only TO have Cline force him up
against the ropes again. They were
slugging wildly at the final bell.
As the crowd rushed on the field
Tender was surrounded by hundreds
of enthusiasts. In this round Cline
forced Tender against the ropes and
slugged whenever Lew saw fit.
Tenders work in the last minute
and a half of fighting gave him the
decision, as the fight was about even
up to that time.
This was only part of the big all
star show. Soldier Bartfield. of Brook
lyn, proved too clever for his heavier
opponent, Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh,
and in the other bout frankie Gala
han, of Brooklyn, won as he pleased
from Phil Bloom, another Brooklyn
ite. Bloom was substituting for
CLANCY, of Baltimore, who was i'll
and could not appear.
Bartfield had three of the six
rounds. two were even and one went
to Greb.
There was nothing really decisive
in Bartfeld's victory, but he virtual
lv won it with left backhand blow
that caught Greb whenever he tried
it. Greb, who usually depends on his
right, could not get set, Bartfield
stepping in and out and parrying
with him in such a way as to upset
all his plans.
There were no clean knockdowns,
although Greb went to one knee in
the first round from left to the
body.
AS an appetizer. Joe Wright OF
Quakertown, gave Indian Russell, OF
the L. S. Navy a thorough combing,
dropping his cold in the second
round.

From the moment that Waltz faced
Shay in the first inning the contest
was never in doubt. Waltz was hit
by the pitcher and stole second, and
the merry chase was on. While
Shay's support was at times wobbly,
he was hit hard.
Elwood Nell raped out another
home run to right center field. Nell
