GENERAL interest in boxing aroused
" among several millions Of Ameri-
cans during the war will result IN
some good boxers. Hundreds OF thou
sands Of young men who disdained the
game were showed IN close contact
with Il during their military training
learning 20 like the sport to such a
degree that announcements Of = pro-
fessional ring career have come from
numbers OF army boxers who exceued
in army bouts.
Undoubtedly there Will he some
succeases among the sturdy army
boys WedEinE their way Into the
professional ranks. hut there viii
be Tot more disappointments.
For the most part the boxer who
Il considered fast IN the army
proves miserabIy slow when he
meets professionals
The reason for this Is not At all DIFF
ficult 70 find While the nature OF
army work in general makes for
rugged health and powerful muscles.
Il unmakes athletes Of all kinds. Even
those who are favored that they may
defend regimental hOnors as a rule
have but a short time to train free
OF the long hikes on heavy roads. the
carrying OF heavy burdens on the
march that tighten and bind the mus
cles which should be loose and supple
for the best results IN any kind OF
athletics.
Bigger and Slower.
Nearly all boxers who have entered
army service have become bigger.
husSier and slower. In boxing, speed
Is everything A man who has devel-
oped remarkable Cuickness in striking
Is = dangerous customer without
further accomplishments The army
tends to rob athletes OF this speed.
one OF the best examples at Fort
Bliss was that OF Charlie Short He
came to the army a 1.-THE. lean bundle
OF speed he had met some OF the best
liEhtweights in the business but when
he lined up with Cave Man Carlson
the naleness. the thinness OF him
caused his hackers 10 hold their
breath Just entering the army he
looked soft, weak and impotent com
pared 20 the husky army fighter.
The bout was one OF slow
strength against EInshinE speed
and speed won by n mile. Carlson
never could connect right because
Short either had something IN his
way. moved his head or stepped
out OF danger. Carlson was by far
the stronger OF the two. The bout
was an eXempilfication Of how
strength don't amount to much
when Il can't be applied.
When Short cut loose his looseness
counted. He landed and the speed
back OF Il cut He looked frau that
night compared to the other huskies
who appeared in the arena but there
was no other boxer TO compare with
him IN speed.
Army Condition.
About a year later the writer saw
Short appear IN a Bliss bout Instead
OF $50 he weighed 145. He was bronzed
and looked the part OF victor over half
dozen lads like the Short OF a year
ago. Ills actual condition Is we'll de-
scribed By Shorts own words when
the writer commented on the change:
an light on my feet ~ COW" said
Charlie 7 am shifty as a slop wagon
and NY speed rivals a road roller.
that's what the army does for a wen

Later when Short became boxing
instructor at Bliss he worked back to-
wards his old form but never until he

New York. Feb. 15.-Walter johnson
has been Clark Griffith's ace for many
years. The famous pitcher began his
career with the Washington team in
1907, and now IS IN his 32d year
Johnson pitched with his usual skill
last season and showed no sign Of
growing old. But he cannot last for
ever. and when he reaches the end.
Griffith's managerial ability viii be
put TO q severe test Griffith failed
ignominiously as the leader OF the
Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds. but
he has remained at the head Of the
Washington Americans largely be-
cause Johnson's great pitching has
kept the team out OF the cellar. Too
bad Johnson cannot pitch for a pen

McNealus Wants Boxing
Commission For Texas

ing that the teaching OF boxing in
the army has proved the value OF
the game 70 young men IN service.
senator McNealus IS championinE
a bill to place the game IN Texas
under a state commission TO pre-
vent the evils attending the pro-
fessional game in many parts OF
the country. According to the pro-
posed bill clubs might be char
tered for giving contests and pro-
vlding a $1,000 bond. Ths expenses
OF the state commission are pro-
vided for by 10 percent OF the gross
receipts OF all shows so conducted.
The bill Is not q radical departure
from the present boxing law in
Texas but would make impossible
the couble-crosslnE tactics used %
flim-flam the public by many pro-
motors and boxers.

THE NEWS FROM PARIS,

The news from Paris is of a some what more encouraging nature this morning but it has been character istic of the market of late to ignore p1 ess reports of either a favorable or unfavorable nature The remov- al of the restrictions on short selling is a step in the right direction and puts the market on a more normal basis. Its effect may not become ap- parent imm modiate1y, for there is un- derStood to be a considera bIe short interest in the market already. parti- cularly in Steel common, which dis plays stubborn resistance to selling around 93
 The steel tonnage report will be out at noon and will probably show a further decrease in unified orders. This and todays conference with the railroad administration over prices for steel may check enthusiasm somewhat. With the Victory Loan offering so near at hand, a conserv- ative attitude towards the market seems wise. Ultimately we shall probably see much higher prices.
 Baldwin acted very well yesterday and it is said there was some excel lent buying of the stock just below 90. Am. Loco is behind the rest of the equipments and one of these days should move up sharply. Ann. Linseed seems very cheap at these prices, as does Pierce oil which is understood to be in process of ac- emulation by new and strong in- terest.
 There is good buying of the strong CT rails by people who have never lost faith in this crop.
