very capable athletes, and the meets

indicate that the different events will
all b& very hotly contested. No def-
mite line has been obtained as yet on
the respective strength Of the different
teams. as the entry list is not COM
p}ete, but all Of the teams entered
thus far are made UP of men with a
considerable reputation ~ to track

Jimmy Wilde. the English hyweieht
champion. ia now ready to join the
army After being turned down several
times heretofore. Wilde's weight. Of
less than 100 pounds had barred him
from a place in the ranks. but recent
reports point out that he is now
weighing we'll nigh ITO. pounds and
will be accepted As a Tommy.
When he found that he could not

boxing instructor and trainer for the
soldiers and in this capacity was Is
valuable perhaps AZ though in uni
form.
Wilde is one Of the real freaks Of
the boxing game. He Is said to be a
sort of %vestpocket Bob Fitssimmons,
tall and ranU with a remarkably de-
veloped hest and a. more terrific wal
lop than most men Weighing twenty
and thirty pounds heavier. He is fair
~ clever At boxing ana a %ferocious
battler working hard all the time n
showing himself to be possessed Of
exceptional strength and stamina.
The two Americans Wilde has met,
Young Zulu Kid and Johnny Rosner.
are not OF the classiest Of their weight
in this country, but they are both good
boys and unusually tough. The Easy
manner in which Wilde polished them
off. knocking them both out in the
eleventh round. showed we'll enough
that he ID the master OF some very ef-
fective punching. Though thin in the
waist and legs Wilde can deal out the
well-timed and snappy punches and
he has seldom failed to put his ad-
versAry away
| George Smith, the New York man
a9er who took Rosner over to Eng
land to meet Wilde. has a high re-
gard for Wild6's ability. He 4 said
that Wilde 10 we'll able to lick any man
within fifteen pounds Of his weight.
At the same time, Smith does not be-
lleve that Wilde could get away with
Johnny KilbAne. Kilbane. in Smiths
opinion. is the. only man anywhere
near wilde's weight who could beat
him. KilbAne's wonderful ring knowl-
edge and his powerful punching
would be too much for the little Brit

able to make a much more Horious
showing than did Zulu Kid and John
