American Boxers to Fight :
in London Tourney Tonight

While definite knowledge as to the
personnel of the opposing teams is
lacking it is quite certain that the
American army and navy boxers will
give O good account of themselves
against the British, French n Bel
gian service fighters in the tourna-
.ment for the Kings trophy at Lon
don tonight and tomorrow night. 1t
Is said that the italians too are to
take part. but IL they do compete
they will not be formidable oppo-
lnents. The American team includes
at least eighteen boxers. Willie Mech
an, the San Francisco heavyweight,
was to have gone, but he still Is In
Philadelphia. Pete Herman, the
bantamweight champion. also was
scheduled to go over. but his ship.
the Western Maid, still is in local
waters.
The American team, as far as we
have been able to find out, will con-
sist OF the following boxers: Heavy
weights, Andre Anderson and Jack
McGoorty: middleweights, Mike
O'Dowd. Augie Rather. Harry Greb
and Dennis O'Keefe; welterweights,
Cal Delaney. Marty Cross. Teddy
Hayes. Otis Bryant and Jack Perry;
.lightweights. Richie Mitchell, Chick
Simler. Billy Shevlin, Billy Whelan
and George CLANCY; featherweights,
Joe Lynch and possibly CLANCY, and
bantamweight. Pal Moore. 1t will be
seen that America is short on heavy
weights. bantams and featherweights.

IN THE FIELD OF SPORTS
Athletic Instructors To Teach
American Games To The French

PARIS, Dec. lin compliance
with a formal request from General
Gottez. director of infantry, repre-
senting the Ministry of War, the Y.
M. G. A. Foyer du Soldat appointed
eight physical electors to teach Amer
lean sports In the eight centres of ply
steal education of the French army.
The men selected for this important
task attended a ten-day conference
at Joinyille-le-Pent not long g to
formulate plans for their campaign.
and then went to the several centres
to work with the classes assembling.
Prof. p. r.. Carpenter. of Worcester,
Mass. chief physical director of the
Foyer du Soldat, appointed several
well known athletic coaches in France
In X. NJ. C. A. service, to the newly
created positions. Among them are
Frank l.. Quinby. baseball coach at
Yale and Andover; c. C. Bittner, of
East Aurora, N. Y; 8. A. McCom-
Der. OF Union College. and c. l.. Jones,
of Worcester. Mass.
These instructors are teaching men
who in turn will become teachers OF
the French army and French school
children so the rapid spread of Amer
lean games throughout France is as
sured. Baseball viii be particularly
featured by request of the French mill
itary authorities.
The request for the aid of the Foyer
du Soldat In teaching American
sports in France closely followed an
order issued by General Gottez in
which he directed that the French
army take up baseball. This order
was addressed to the military govern
ors of Paris and Lyons, the general
commanding the regions. the COM
mandant of the center of physical ed
ucation at Joinville-le-Pont. the COM
mandants of the regional centres OF
physical education anw the comman-
dants of the centers officers schools.
General Gottez says In this commun-
fcation: II consider, in short, that this
game constitutes an excellent exer-
else, which develops at the same
time precision. quickness of the eye
n skill I'M would offer, further
more, in free hours, a very attrac-
tive pastime for the troops. This
game, in fact, demands simple mater
rial and may be played everywhere"

the first official recognition given by
the French government to baseball.
