Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

The hammer of the law is still
poised over the head Of the last nail
in the cover of the boxing games
"box." Whether it shall be driven
home and rivetted on the inside will
not be known until next Thursday, in
Justice Hendricks part Of the Supreme
Court.
Yesterday His Honor, after listen
ing to arguments by Murray BieA and
Alexander S. Green, counsel for Pat
rick O'Gatty. one of the SIX boxers
held for trial by Magistrate Brough on
Friday, reserved decision on the mo-
ton of N1r. Bien to discharge O'Gatty
from custody. Bail was fixed at S10O
and the defendant paroled in custody
of his counsel for two days, to permit
the securing of bond Attorneys for
both sides were requested to submit
briefs on Thursday.
O'Gatty was one of the boxers who
appeared in bouts at Billy Grupp's
Gymnasium on December IA. Elr. Bien
told the court that O'Gatty had in
quired before entering the ring, if an
admission fee was TO be charged, and
had been told no admission would be
charged.
Billy Gibson wants to know if they
can hang a man for giving away some
thing for nothing, and in order TO find
out, Bronx Billy is going to give a
boxing show at the Falrmont A. c. next
Saturday night. Everything Will be

Radicals and So-Called ''Old
Guard" Putting on Their
War Paint
By Fred Hawthorne

Entirely aside from whatever action
the delegates to the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association may
take when Il comes to cast their votes
1or the presidency at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel. on February Is, when
the annual meeting is held. there are
increasing signs that there is to be
a spirited battle between the two ele
ments i'll the parent body, namely. the
cold Guard" or conservatives. and the
radicals.
AS matter of fact, it will be only
tho reopening Of feud that began
two years ago and reached crisis
last year, when the vexing amateur
question came up for settlement. The
radicals emerged from that skirmsh
with the advantage on their side. and
although it has been generally agreed
to let this particular problem lie DOR
mant until after the war there is
not much doubt that considerable feel
ing still exists between the opposing
factions.
Middle West May Act
Certain clubs and associations in the
Middle West section, and sizable
gathering in the Philadelphia division,
besides several individuals in New York
State. may bring matters to head
after the annual meeting gets we'll un-
der way next month.
AS an instance of this feeling of
animosity on the part of the radicals,
an article printed in a Boston news
paper last week, in referring to the
possibility of Albert S. Hoskins, of
Philadelphia, and Julian S. Myrick, of
this city, being rival candidates for
the presidency Of the T. s. N. l.. T. A.,
uses scathing terms in speaking Of the
"Old Guard" element. and predicts a
complete triumph for the radicals.
Myrick. who stood for strict inter
years meeting, is rated among the con-
servatives who "hampcr the develop
mcnt Of the game" by the writer of
the Boston article AS matter Of fact,
Myrick has been responsible for more
healthy, constructive Legislation within
the association in the last two years
than any other one man.
Extract From Article
An extract from the article in ques-
tion will serve to show the temper of
the so-called radical element We quote {:
"The enterprising and radical gentle

hcartedly opposed to the autocrats
ready to present radical reforms and
to put them into execution by virtue of

References are also made to the Eek
clusiveness and ra-conservatism OF
tho Myrick faction, and the prediction
is made that the battle at, the polls
will be one between the radical, lib
eral element, represented by Mr.. Hos

take,' says "The Manchester Guardian"
1T isn't the fate of the stores at Vladivo-
stok or the grain in Siberia which is at
stake, but the credit of our cause and the
whole moral position Of the Allies.
With what consistency can we
lend ourselves to an assault on one part
of the composite fabric of the Russian
Empire at the same moment that the Ger
mans are engaged in similar assault on
another part?" Moreover, it is argued
that Japanese action would be another
club IN the hands of the Bolsheviki to
MAINTAIN their tottering regime when the
Russians meet at Moscow on January -
to decide about peace, and if Lenine is
traitor, as some now say he is, japanese
intervention will furnish Lenine an excuse
to force Russia into the arms of a German
peace.

Awakening

The bugles shrill across the world
And fill the hammered sky
With shapes of black and terrible kings.
And oh, the kings must die.
The dawn is like a naked sword
Oh, let us speed the blade
And bring the naughty host to earth
From nights old ambuscadel
And every dreamer rose from sleep
And spurned his sheltered bed
Lifted his hands unto the sun,
And 10! his hands were red
From out the dusty crowns they plucked
thousand thousand stars;
They moved the mystic crescent down
With wrested scimitars.
The mouths of kings are stopped with
dust;
The winds have swept the sky:
Eagles have buided in their thrones,
The banners droop on high
Kings were the ph an toms drcamers
dreamed:
But oh, the sleepers wake
A greater day unseals their eyes
For Life's immortal sake.
Leslie Nelson Jennings, in Sunset.

Italy, it became clear, favored such ac-

General Foch recognized the possibility
Of the present situation arising, and sug-
gested that the Allies act before Ger

by Japanese and American troops, and
others have suggested that China CO.

to surrender and talking of holy war"
the Bolsheviki sign peace with Germany
on a third set of terms, more severe than

Allied Disunity Again

IN SHORT the japanese situation has
developed differences Of opinion cx-
acty similar to those resulting from Mr.
Wilson's policy of addressing further
peace speeches to Austria and the German
Liberals The two issues, according TO Mr..
Gilbert, "discloses Il profound divergence
between Mr.. Wilson on the one hand and
Mr.. Lloyd George and Mr.. Clcmcnceau on
the other. Military considerations impel
the Allies to support the plan to defend
Siberia against Germany. Political CON
sidcrations impel Mr. Wilson to disapprove
it," And all this has come out without
Japan having as yet acted, or without it
being known when and how she iptcnds to
act. Indeed dispatches from Japan indl-
cate that considerable difference Of opinion
still exists in japanese councils rs to the
best course.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-10
Wilson Holds Back

THE United States, confronted with
the necessity Of making decision,
made inquiries as to the facts Of the stu
alton in Siberia, and finally informally
told Japan that intervention by any pow
er in Siberia at this time would be mis-
understood by the Russian people, and
for that reason would be inadvisable.
AS Mr.. c. w. Gilbert writes from WASH
ington to The New York Tribune. "rThis
country has not assented to Japans plan.
Neither has it dissented nor protested.
1t is not likely to assent Neither is it
likely to dissent or protest We question
the political wisdom and The military
necessity Of Japan entering Siberia with
out being invited by the Russians them
selves. There is no distrust, so it is
said, Of Japan. We are thinking not Of
the power to enter, but of the power to
be entered. namely, Russia"

The Other Side


The Other Side
f NATURALLY the administration does
not lack defenders, particularly
among those who have favored this coun-
try's attempt to restate war aims and to
help Russia ''The Philadelphia Public
Ledger" and "The New York World" as
we'll as the Washington correspondent of
The New York Evening Post believe
that there are few Americans who ap-
parently cannot understand that a clear
definition of war aims is not only consis-
tent with an unshaken determination to
wage the war, but that it is essential to
the maintenance of home morale. Indeed,
one critic goes SO far as to assert that "the
German peace offensive has proved as dis
astrous a Teutonic defeat on the morale
side as Verdun or the Marine was in the
military sense.
at is not true that all this talk has proven
OF patent disadvantage to the Allies. 1t is
not true that the words of President Wilson
and of Lloyd George have served to weaken
Allied morale ard to contribute 10 German
strength. On the contrary, since we are
democratic nations, since the rule of the
millions is absolute. it is necessary that
those who represent the millions should make
clear to them the issues and the principles
for which the millions must fight we have
had after fashion, referendum in all the
