JULY is CHOSEN FOR
BIG BOXING TOURNEY
Proceeds Will Buy Athletic
Equipment for Local Soldiers.

Tuesday evening. July 16. has been
definitely set as the date for the big
boxing show to be held In Madison
Square Garden under the auspices Of
the War Department Commission on
Training Camp Activities. The entire
proceeds will be devoted to the pur-
chase OF athletic equipment for army
camps where New York boys are To-
Gated.
William H. wellman. who obtained q
special furlough from Camp Wadsworth
Spartanburg. to manage the ring car
nival, last night announced his plans
for the biggest boxing show of the year.
He will stage three star bouts, with
Benny Leonard. Jack Dempsey and
Packey Mcfarland as the principals. and
there will be two preliminaries. one be-
tween soldiers and the other between a
pair Of sailors.
Leonard il the worlds lightweight
champion and is chief boxing In
structor at Camp Upton, while McFar-
land, one of the most skilful boxers the
game has ever produced. has a like po-
sition at Camp Zachary Taylor. Demp-
sey Is one OF the leading contenders for
Jess Wizards title.
Popular prices will prevail. ranging
from 81. There will be no collections
nor programme sale. Also no auction
of cartoons, nor flower girls to distract
the attention Of the spectators while the
bouts are in progress.
William II. ("Big Bilr') Edwards,

he will not get worse than a decision Of
draw. even though he has been thor
oughly trounced.
While referees are to-day prevented
from making decisions on points. the
unofficial referees appear to have taken
the cue from the ring officials of former
days.
Two fragrant cases have just taken
place in Jersey clubs, in which boxers of
considerable reputation were beaten by
less famous opponents and escaped with
out anything less damaging than a de-
cison of draw.
Mickey Donley. lightweight, who
has not been regarded as a contender
for the title. boxed eight rounds with
Johnny Dundee. a fashy boxer, but not
of championship calibre. Donley had a
clear advantage in points at the close
Of the eight rounds. but majority of
decisions declared the Italian a winner.
a few giving the bout as a draw.
Joe yelling, a challenger Of Benny
Leonard, boxed eight rounds with Phil
Bloom, a lightweight who Is believed to
have seen his best days. Bloom out
pointed yelling for six Of eight rounds.
and although yelling excelled in but
two Of the rounds. majority Of the
unofficial referees called the bout
draw, while a few said yelling was the
winner.
Decisions of that sort do not tend to
inspire public confidence in the boxing
game.
