Corri Differed with Douglas.

Reports of the bout between Joe
Lynch and Jimmy Wilde orroneously de-
clared that Eugene CORR was the refe-
rec. The third man in the ring was
John Douglas. who is a member Of the
National Sporting Club, and has Off
ciated at bouts there for many years.
Far from declaring Wilde the winner
over Lynch, Corrl admittedly the
ablest referee in England, disagreed with
Douglas and expressed tho opinion that
Lynch had won on points.
CORR. IN commenting on the contest,
declared that Wilde frequently led and
missed by feet and seemed TO be greatly
puzzled BY the Americans tactics,
Corri also asserted that Lynch
weighed but 116h pounds ringside, so
that his advantage in weight was not
more than four pounds. instead of six
teen as some OF the misleading reports
from London set forth.
Lynch. in asking for q return match
with wilde, volunteered TO do 1lS ring
side. but the proposition was respect
fully declined. Manager Rettinson Of
the National Sporting Club strongly ad-
vised Wilde against another match with
Lynch, suggesting that the Welshman
let we'll enough alone. This significant
hint was accepted by Wilde and the
proposed match fell through.

There may be two sets OF boxing
champions In America when tho soldiers
set back from Europe. All the civilian
title holders, except one, remained at

since the close Of hostilities the boys in
khaki have held tournaments to decide

should the millions or soldiers now re-
turning and to arrive later decide TO
claim American championships for the
winners OF the tournaments OF the Amer
lean Expeditionary Forces. the result
would be trihe embarrassing for the
civilians who now are reaping fortunes
out OF the titles they won previous to
the outbreal; OF the war.
One result would he a series of con-

ODowd Put on Speed.
A rather significant Incident showing
the attitude Of the soldier boxers cropped
up In the A. K. F. bouts in Paris In which
Mike ODowd, worlds middleweight
champion. was a contender. The referee
gained the impression that O'Dowd was
not putting enough vigor into his boxing
and warned him that unless he improved
In the next round his opponent would
get the verdict
And then" added the referee, away

The proposition that the holder Of the
middleweight title could lose his honors
In four round bout In q military tour
narnent Is novel one. but it goes to
show exactly how the soldiers look at
the situation.
Needless to say. O'Dowd put so much
pepper into the fourth round Of his
contest that his opponent was dazed and
all but out. 1t is not unlikely that the
military champions will all be home by
| next autumn and interesting develop
ments may then be expected.

Local Man Pleads Non VuIt in

NEW BRUNSWICK. Feb. 81
Edward Weiner. twenty years old,
Who resides at the Y. NJ. G. A. in
feftn Amboy, was yesterday sem
fenced to the Railway Reformatory
sor h full term by Judge DAILY, fol-
lowing his plea OF non vult to the
charse that he recklessly drove an
automobile in South River on Sep
tenfber rs last and struck and killed
q man at that place.
Weiner in company with Lee Low
enkopf, of K~easbey, was driving in
South River when his car struck
Aloysius Marks, thirty-five years old,
who was alighting from a trolley car
at Grove and Main streets in that
borough. He was so seriously injured
that~he died later in st. Peters Gen
eral Hospital. He was survived by q
wife and w children.
Weiner was alleged to have been
driving his automobile recklessly
when he trailed a trolley car and
suddenly swerved out to pass it at the
same time as Marks was preparing to
alight.
The case was taken to the grand
jury following Weiner's arrest by
Chlef Eberwein and an Indictment
changing manslaughter was found.
Previous to yesterday Weiner had
pleaded not guilty through his attor-
ney, II. X. Golenbock, but yesterday
retracted his plea and entered one of
non vult. throwing himself on tho
mercy OF the court.
Mr.. .Golenbock made a plea for
clonency and Probation Officer Mac
William reported that Weiner's prev
ious record was excellent. Judge DAILY
remarked that IL was hard to SEN
tence a youth like the prisoner but
the plea of non vult left but one con-
ciusion, that Weiner had nuffed out
human life through negligence in
the reckless handling of his automo-
bile.
