PLANS FOR BIG
OLYMPIC BILL
Swedish Official Makes Pub
lie Change in Pro-
gram

New York, Dec. 6. - President
j. S. Edstrom, of the Swedish ANA
teur Athletic Association. who is
also president of the International
Amateur Athletic Federation, gave
an account here of the prepara-
tions which are being made by Eu-
ropean countries to have thorough
ly representative teams at the
Olympic games in Belgium next
year.
He said that the Belgian COM
mittee would endeavor to follow. as
closely as possible, the program ar
ranged at the Paris conference in
1914, just prior to the declaration
of war. The program G4Y rules
agreed upon then were to have gov
erned Olympic games scheduled to
take place in Berlin in 1916.
Change in Program
A change in the track and field
program, however, has eliminated
the decathlon and fty-siv-pound
weight throw and added grenade
throwing contest to the list of
events.
The Swedish government, he said,
had sanctioned a lottery through
which a fund of $780, 900 has been
realized to defray the expenses of
Swedish competitors at the 1920
O1ympiad. Denmark and Finland
also were preparing to send good
teams.
Neither German nor Austrian ath-
letes will be permitted to enter any
of the competitions. Neiher coun-
try was represented on the Olympic
board.

BEST MAN WON
N-LONDON FIGHT
Critics Comment on Great
Battle in Which Carpen-
tier Won
By Associated Press.

London, Dec. 6.-EXperts in COM
menting on Thursday nights fight in
which Georges Carpenter, of
France, knocked out Joe Beckett, of
England, in the first round. concur
in saying that victory went to the
best man and that Carpenter won
by his speed and cleverness.
Beckett's manager says Carpenter
brought off a million to one
chance" but this is not the view of
expert onlookers, the Daily Mails
critic accusing Beckett of sheer
stupidity"
Beckett had by a long way the
best of the handicap" the Daily
Nails expert writes. He was su-
perior in height. weight and reach.
He is n great fellow physically, but
the less said about his judgment the
better. Perhaps he was over-confi-
dent, but anyway he gave his oppo-
nent a chance which no novice
would have offered.
The One Hard Blow
The blow with which Carpenter
won was too simple for words IT
could have been easily avoided. aud
the counter to it would have been an
extremely dangerous blow, yet Beck
ett walked right into the danger
zone. What he did was simple and
stupid and there is no excuse for
him.
After Carpenter had been car
ried around the right, the Prince
of Wales cordially shook his hand
and congratulated him. The Prince
also shook Beckett's hand, saying:
Better luck next time"

HERMAN HANDS
SHERIDAN K.O.
Jersey City Boy Put to Sleep
in Third Round; Other
Good Bouts

Johnny Herman. of Allentown, a
boy who always fights put the sleep
ing sign on, Tommy Sheridan. of Jer-
sey City in the third round last night
What Herman handed Sheridan might
have kept him sleeping for a much
longer time had not his seconds and
others pumped life back into him.
Sheridan went down with a blow on
the jaw for n count of eight, and was
scarcely on his feet when a second
blow sent him fiat on his stomach.
This bout was the windup feature
al the show of the Harrisburg Boxing
Association in Chestnut Street Audi
torium, and was the nnish of one of
the best boxing >bills ever seen in
Central Pennsylvania. Each of the
other bouts went six rounds. and
were continuous exhibition of real
fighting. Fight fans got big run
for their money last night. While
the crowd was fair, the patronage
was far from doing justice to the bill
offered by the local association.
Sheridan Good In One Round
Sheridan started right. but the only
time he looked good was in the open
ing round. The Jersey fighter had
tho pluck. However. 1t was plainly
evident that Herman was too much
for Sheridan. The Allentown boy
made every blow count. Herman had
a few pounds on his opponent. Local
fans expressed a wish after the fight
that Herman would come back soon.
Oppie White, of Lancaster, and
Johnny Ruggles of Reading, went six
rounds. The Lancaster boy looked
like a spider when compared to his
opponent, and spectators thought they
would see an early finish. White
fooled them. He knocked Ruggles
against the ropes in the first round.
and had the Reading fighter worried
all the time. 1t was good semi
windup.
Good Prclimina rles
The preliminaries were very good.
In the opening bout. Knockout Casey
was given shade in Battling Deem
er of Reading. Both boys fought
like tigers and at times it looked as
if Casey would not hold out, but he
rallied and gave his opponent hard
punishment.
Both boys were fighting all the
time. Casey went through the ropes
but was picked up and came back
springer than ever. Casey was clev-
er in guarding his face and getting
in hard blows on the body.
Battling Paskos, of Reading. and
Dick Gotwalt, of York, fought six
fierce rounds. pa,kos' punches had
weight. and Gotwalt went to the floor
a number of times. but always came
up/smiling. Twice he was down for
the count of four. The York boy was
about even steven with his Reading
opponent.
