BRITISH BOXERS
PULL OFF bic
BOUTS IN ARENA

ALDERSHOT, England, April 13 (by
mail) American soldiers encamped
in this district had an object lesson in
the conduct of a big boxing match
here a few days ago, when they were
invited to be the guests of the British
soldiers at program of fourteen con-
tests between representatives of the
Aldershot command and the Southern
command of the British army.
The headliners of the tournament
included about half of the best boxers
in England, now all in khaki. Among
them were Sergeant Jimmy Wilds,
Sergeant Rolph of the Canadians, Sid
Burns, Corporal Billy Fullerton, and
several others whose names were we'll
known at the National Sporting Club
in pre-war days.
There were no purses, the prizes be-
ing simple silver and bronze medals
worth about IS each. Had the COM
petition taken place at a London
arena and been open to the public,
the program would have been worth
about $4,000 to the promoters. But
the public was not admitted, and the
price of admission to the soldier spec
tators ranged from II cents to 81. The
latter amount correspondent to the $50
tS in hn oil dou of he 10 oil
Sporting Club in London.
There was an enormous attendance
of officers and men, together with a
great many soldiers families. 1t was
probably the first time in the history
of the ring in which men, women and
children attended a match of cham
pionship caliber.
Despite the keenness of the fighting,
there was only one bout in which any
blood flowed. The majority of the
men taking part were so physically
fit, owing to their military training
that they were able to stand up in
the ring and give and receive punish
ment with a degree of fortitude sell
dom seen in professional boxing meet
ings.
An impressive feature of the entire
competition, from the standpoint Of
the American spectators, was the
scrupulously strict and fair referee
ing. Holding and climbing were
stopped Immediately, one warning
only being given. Any pair who
stood up and engaged in Shadow
fighting" also received a f1rst-and
last-caution. There were fourteen
contests altogether, each of six
rounds. The Aldershot command won
the meet, taking thirteen of the four
teen events.
Commander Walcott, head Of the
American branch of the British ad-
miralty intelligence department. in
London, was the chief referee

PARIS PLANS ON RAISING
HOGS AFTER THE WAR

PARIS, May 2O-Municipal hog
raising in Paris on a large scale may
result from the war. Lack of labor
and deficient transportation facilities
have not only held up provisions
needed by the housewife and made
them dearer, but have delayed the
garbage before front doors until it has
compelled universal attention to it's
immense volume as well as tc the in
convenience from it's overstay in the
street
Hog-raising has been proposed as a
remedy for the lack of food and the
superabundance of rotting waste.
Vegetable garbage and greasy sui
stances in the boxes over which Par
isians have been stumbling nightly
since the war began would, it is as
serted, fatten 100000 hogs each year,
and pork is now worth so cents a
pound.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-05-20

Thousands of Grant dogs nourish
themselves on the contents of the
garbage boxes, and a great many of
the dogs have been spreading hydro
phobia.
The proposal ,.nbraces municipal
markets for the sale of the fresh
pork, eliminating middlemen's profits
and providing competition against
dealers who, in spite of all efforts to
control retail prices, have found
means of steadily pushing up profits.
1t is estimated that the gross rev.
enue from the enterprise would be
1O0,OOO,0OO francs a year, all of it
nearly clear gain for the city.
