MAY NOT <STop

1he1o is much speculation here, how ever, as to whether the enemy will be able to stop the tide of retreat he has started, now that it is in full swing The whole enemy line from the Oise north is in a fluid state
 2 he very depth of the enemy with drawal. it is possible, may serve to give h'm time for 1eadjustment The com munication lines of the French, British and Belgian armies are rolling out be- hind them in ever extending avenues back to their bases. The armies can not outrun those arteries and it takes time to repair and build railways to handle the vast supplies that must go forward every hour
 To some officers, therefore, it seems 1 likely that pause will soon occur in 1 Belgium and on the northern half of the great battle front. They are watching
 intently, however. for a new thrust by the American and Franco-American | forces east and west of the Mouse, who
 perhaps are holding the key to the whole
 enemy front, whatever plans for gradual
 withdrawal to the German frontier have
 been made.
 ONLY TWELVE MILES AWAY l It IS pointed out that while many in- l termediate lines have been indicated as
 ssible defense positions in the northern 1 battle areas, all reports have agreed l uPoil tiic MeHieTeS-SeQdn-M M Ont1neQY-M front as the only defense position in ! the field before the French and Ameri- cans on both sides of the Mouse. Major General Liggetts American first army is
 already within F miles of that line.
 There Is good reason to expect con- centration of effort to bridge this gap
 and come to grips with the enemy in his position of last resort, officers think The Franco-American operations are tak- ing shape for new thrust alonG the | Mouse and in that connection particular j importance was attached today to the crossing of the Aisne and capture of
 the heights east and north of Vouziers by the French.
 1 On this front the French now stand almost at right angles to the American 1 lines east of Grand Pre-. Wooded, hilly {, ground faces both armies, but pocket ing enterprise apparently is being de- veloped around this forest region that is blocking the movement along the Mouse 1 Berlin reports show fierce fighting in l the depths of this pocket, the repulse of the French and Americans being claimed The French are approaching the Ar iennes canal line north of the forest barrier. It may be possible, it was said l today, that a swift pincer movement similar to that which cleared the Ar ] gonne pocket before, will be launched to open the road to the German main line l of resistance.

INTRIGUE POOL TOURNAMENT TO
 OPEN TONIGHT

An invitation pocket billiard toura- ment, to boom the sale of the bill liardists' ambulance stamps, will begin this evening. The first game being at the Algonquin club. It will be participated in by one representa- tive each from the four clubs in the center of the city and will run for six weeks. The players will be George Mccarthy of the Algonquins, Jack Ingoldsby of the Bridgeports, Al Brothwell of the Seasides and Ernie Lynch of the Elks. This will be the first appearance of Lynch or any other Elk in a local tournament and much interest has been created in the showing thot he will make.
 The schedule for the tournament follows:
 Friday, March Lynch at Algon- r Tuesday, March - 1ngoldsby at Seaside.
 Friday, March 8 - Ingoldsby at Elks. 1s ss@a
 Tuesday March 12-McCarthy at Seaside.
 fT1udy, MaICu 1O--1IlSOlOSUy at AL gonquin.
 Tuesday, March 19-Brothwel1 at Elks.
 Friday, March 22 - Brothwe1l at Bridgeport
 Tuesday, March 26-McCarthy at Elks.
 Friday, March 29-Lynch at Bridge | port.
 Tuesday, April 3-Brothwen at AL gonquin.
 Friday, April 5 - Mccarthy at i Bridgeport.
 Tuesday, April g - Lynch at Sea- side. A silver cup will go to the winner, but the main idea is to continue the 1 interest in the ambulance fund. The 1 four players are regarded as of all most equal ability, and it is expected | that the race will be very close all the way through, with nobody able to pick a winner.

PACKEY BOOSTS
 BOXING IN ARMY

Louisville, Ky, March 1-Packey Mcfarland, boxing instructor at Camp Zachary Taylor, the new National Army cantonment near Louisville, re- turned yesterday from Frankfort where last night he participated in demonstration in the interest of a bill before the State Senate legalizing boxing in Kentucky. The affair was arranged by members of the Legis- lature and was held in a theatre. An interested audience composed of members of the Legislature, a num- Der of women, business and profes- sional men, applauded the perform ance
 Mcfarland boxed four rounds with an amateur and delivered an address outlining why the government is teaching boxing at the National Army cantonments. He asserted it taught soldiers how to handle themselves when they came to grips with the Germans in 6he trenches, where space to use the bayonet might be too re- stricted.
 It was indicated that the exhibition and the explanations of Mcfarland had gained considerable support for the bill, which is on the calendar of the Senate.

Needham- Burke Contest

Danny Needham defeated Jack Burke in 10 rounds at New Orleans 26 years ago today, March 1, 1892. Neither Danny nor Jack were cham pions but they deserve to be remem- bered because of the long battles in which they participated. It was in 1893 that Burke won a niche in the pugilistic hall of fame by figuring in the longest contest ever fought in the ring his memorable bout with Andy Bowen, the mulatto boxer, in New Orleans, which went no rounds to a draw, lasting seven hours and 19 minutes In 1890 Danny Needham fought a battle almost as long with Patsy Kerrigan in San Francisco, this bout going to 100 rounds, lasting six hours and 39 minutes, and resulting also in a draw. Needham was q Min neapolis boy, and aspired to welter- weight honors, but was knocked out by Tommy Ryan i'll the 76th round of a bout in Minneapolis and was after ward knocked out by Mysterious Billy Smith. Jack Burke was a very promising lad, but after his battle with Bowen he was never much good. He died in New York about five years ago.

TENER UNJUST COMPLAINS
 EvERS

Boston, March l - Johnny Evers, who has signed with the Boston Red Sox this season, declares that Presi- dent John K. Tener of the National League puts him in a wrong light in suggesting that he had been disIoyal to the National League in accepting the American League offer.
 When seen at his home in Troy yes terday, Flyers said;
 "President Tener's statement is an injustice to me. have been loyal to the National League even to tl.e prove this and I will cite just two instances. if no more, that will bear me out.
 When agreed to sign a contract with the Boston club of the National League in 1914, I turned down a s3O.OO0 bonus-cash in hand-and a fiye-year contract with Mir. Weegh- mans Feds. That in itself totals a loss for me of $25, 1000 on the five years. I worked hard while on the Boston club and with every ounce of blood back of my every effort.
 Second This winter J remained at home, and waited. Not one worti did I receive from any National League club until the day before the recent schedule meeting of the league in New York. On the eve of the meeting I received a letter from MT. Hendricks of the St. Louis National League club, and my only objection to St. Louis was it's climate.
 Now I ann out of the National League and it seems to me MT. Tener had better look elsewhere for fall guy"
