Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

Why do these fight managers play
favorites? Don't they know that their
actions will cause heart-burnings, jeal-
ousy and recriminations among the
gentlemen Of the sport-writing profess
sion? See how they've started a ven-
delta between old Sid Mercer and the
builder of this deathless column, we,
who have always been closer than is
Trotzky to the Bolsheviki.
Wednesday morning we printed, with
pride, a confidential communication
from James J. Johnston, the Bandit,
giving US the inside stuff on the Ted
Kid Lewis-Soldier Bartiield fight at To-
ronto on Wednesday. The Bandit ad-
mitted that his man, Lewis, had won
easily. We went to bed on Thursday
night puffcd up with the SNUG feeling
that our EXCLUSIVE news would set
! n world on fire and elevate US to d dizzy
height in the world Of literature.
But hark! We had totally forgotten
the baleful influence of Dappcr Dan
McKetrick, Bartfleld's manager. We
have always preened our feathers and
blown up our chest when we thought OF
the confidential relations existing be-
tween Mcketrick and oursclf, and for
never Il dark moment had the horrible
idea occurred to us that Dan-yell would
play us false. Perfidious Dan-ycl.
Starting to glance through old Sid
Mercer's column with q superclous
smile, on our way to the Office in Mr..
Shonts's submarine yesterday evening.
we were suddenly thundcrstruck by
,tc% Il /, !
could and vas. Dan-yell McKetrick had
slipped US the double-cross. MasQuerad-
ing under the nom de wire Of ".lelly,"
he had sent "coniidentia., exclusive"
telegram to Mercer, admitting that
Bartfield had won his bout with Lewis
at Toronto, with ease and grace. Step
eff the wire and let's see:
"Toronto, Ont, Jan. 23.-Soldier
Fairfield, Of Brooklyn, defeated Cham
pion Ted Lewis in ten rounds here to-
night at the Sportsman Patriotic Fund
show. Lewis held the edge in the first,
third, fifth. sixth and seventh rounds,
while the second. fourth, eighth, ninth
and tenth were Bartield's. In the final
round Barttield dropped Lewis and had
him tired and in distress when the final
bell rang. Kelly"
Our old and mercenary friend then
shows his jealous streak by remarking:
Up TO press time this morning Johns
tons decision had not arrived"
Thus, old Sid Mercer is mad at
Johnston. we arc mad at Mcketrck,
and Johnston and Mcketrick are per-
fcctly mad at one another. A bad days
work.
We arc glad that all is not black
and that the milk Of human kindness
has not gone up in the gene.al rise
of prices. Another letter,
Danny Goodman sent word to me
that he wanted Irish Patsy Cline to
appear at the Fairmont next month at
show which Danny is running for
the purpose of getting boxing gloves
for Company Il. 10th Infantry, sta
toned at Camp Merritt.
"Danny's message was to the effect

Remove Ban From German Music

ET'S take the off the German music and hear
Il some of it. We have been fighting the Huns and not
German music Anyhow it's sanderous to classify Wag-
ner and. Beethoven as Huns.
Music lovers were delighted when director Andre Mes
gr Of the French Conservatory orchestra rose to the de-
fence Of German music and they were equally delighted
when the orchestra included of Beethovens greatest
compositions in its first concert program
Il IS fact that art, product Of genius Is without
nationality much without nationality genius itself
Music is form OF art and its beauties have universal
appeal People admire beautiful painting and they look
for the artists signature in to discover his
identity not his nationality No cares what was the
nationality OF Raphael and Corot save perhaps their e
low oOuntrymen, but the world adTes the product Of
their genius So It is with music.
The worst that be said of German music by way Of
generalization that is apt to be shade too ponderous
Ike the German himself Certainly ones music, coming
from ones SOUL is bound to reflect ones nature But
if some German music is heavy IS also full of broad
Tch, majestic harmony And OF course not all Of it is
heavy.
German opera continued to be played in some of the
allied countries throughout the war; places where people
realized that beautiful music plane apart from
mundane struggle In the United States it came under
the bar by popular agreement about the time went
into the
It was dropped IN this country, not because Americans
did not recognize the beauty of the best German music
but because it difficult for the ordinary mortal to
dssocate German music and German warfare Enjoyment
Of German music spoiled by the stencil Of the
speakable Hun Artistic minds able to forget the lat
ter while reTehng in the former but not those who
less senstzed to art German music initiated them and
rather nauseated them. So it dropped.
Now let Il be revived not because hate the barbar
German any less but because love good music
Not because ike the people Of Germany, but because
recognize that Of them have done things worth
while Let study and appreciate their music for the
that the surgeon studies operating methods of
eminent German scientists in surgery and for the
that army studies and adapts all that is
best in German military science Let's take the good
things wherever find them and regardless Of the
tionalty of the originator
This applies to the best German music the classic
compositions It does that yet have reached
spirit pacific not to want to join battle with any
one who dared sing Deutschland Uber Allies"
