Johnson, the former heavyweight

pastime speaks for itself. as he has
seen service in both collegiate, semi
pro and professional ranks. Although
nothing definitely has been settled
in regards to holding the national
printers baseball tournament this
season, Desper will begin to scout
for capable players among the local
printers as he expects to obtain a

PARIS POLICE CHIEF
BANS FISTIC GAME

Paris. Jan. 6.-The prefect Of
police has refused to grant permis-
sion to a syndicate of promoters to
|revive boxing in Paris. Since the
|Nvar boxing exhibitions have been
taboo, the only bouts held having
been under the auspices of the Ma
|tional Sporting Club, Of Paris, and
for members only.
Several directors Of the club we're
interested in the project to begin Civ
ing public prize-fights, and the action
of Prefect Raux came somewhat as 4
surprise. He characterized the appIi
cation for permission to hold bouts
as premature" and dismissed it
without holding forth any promise
for boxing in the future.
One OF the first bouts planned. il
is said. was to have been between
Georges Carpenter and an American
or English heavyweight from one of
the armies.

win the battle now going on with
the reform element When racing
in Canada was closed down be-
cause of the war the authorities
ruled that the sport should not be
resumed until six months after the

racing take the stand that under

the beginning of the six months.
