Boxing Notes
BY Fred Hawthorne

Charles "Brush" Harvey, the Patrick
Henry Of the roped arena, and Joe
Humphries, the "sweet singer" of Har-
lem, who are arranging the programme
for the monster Red Cross boxing car
nival at Madison Square Garden next
Friday night, are as busy these days
as pair of one-armed paperhangers
with the prickly heat.
Yesterday evening Charles Brush"
came galloping into the Office on his
foam-fecked steed, flung the reins to
a waiting 'ostler and clutched our edi-
torial hand feverishly. "Frank Moran
and Bill Brennan. of Chicago-I got
'em! Big stuff, immence, huge! What
a heavyweight battle that will be!
could make a million with that show,
and the Red Cross ought to double it,"
After this hectic harrangue Charlie
and Citizen FiXit Humphries had lured
Brennan and Moran into their net. After
spreading their advertising tanglefoot
all over the Offices of the Allied The
atrical and Motion Picture Team of
fees, at 1465 Broadway, yesterday
Charlie and Joseph waited for Gus
toners, and soon Brennan landed right
in the middle of the stick-'em with an
offer to fight Moran for the benefit of
the Red Cross drive. While Bill was
still buzzing the committee wired
Moran at Pittsburgh. and "Red Frank"
came right back with big "Yes!"
Other matches that have been def
intely arranged for Friday night next
include Ted Kid Lewis and Jack Brit
ton. the perpetual welterweight rivals;
Eddie Wallace and Johnny Dundee;
Willie Jackson and frankie Callahan;
Battling Levinsky and Jim Coffey and
Kid Williams and Jack Sharkey.
Please count your change before
leaving the window, Henry, and remem-
ber! Every bout will be F-I-G-H-T!
The good old battleship U. S. S. Re-
crut, anchored in Union Square Park
will soon be known as the University

valley lies the village, with its quaint
old English thatched rooted houses
stretched out like toyland.
Every member of the American avi-
alton service passes through this
camp en- route from America TO
France, via England. They come here
Immediately from the American trans
ports, and remain week or two, when
they are dispatched to the various
ing camps. They remain in these
camps three or four months, perhaps
more, putting the finishing touches to
their training. Then they are brought
back to this camp, completely
equipped, and dispatched to France
for sky battles with the Huns over
No Mans Land.
Thousands Have Passed.
The camp has just been officially
opened. Thousands already have
passed through it and preparations
are being made to handle tens OF

Yankees enjoying and shivering

as one would fall away chattering
from the cold water another would
plunge in. The Yankees go about two
weeks without bath en- route from
America to England and they're eager
to get to the showers here.
Perhaps the prettiest and most
elaborately furnished structure in the
camp is the officers clubrooms fur

pictures adorn the walls, and there's
n much-overworked piano that groans

Soon the first barrier of defense

city swept three long searchlights
Still we flew on, leaving the city far
behind. On either side the engines
roared steadily. Behind us hung in
readiness the yellow bombs.
When we had been flying over Ger.
