other hitch was removed today for
the Miske-G Gibbons bout on June 10
at Nicollet park when Miske agreed
to box with the purse split so per
cent to the winner and 40 per cent
to the loser. Eddi Kane, manager Of
Tom Gibbons, is willing to split the
purse n way Miske wants, but wants
a referee decision.
Miske is willing to leave the de-
cision to the writer's on the five Twin
City newspapers. Kane is expected to
agree, but may want a referees de.
cision.
The boxers have been squabbltng
for five days. They have been offered
$4,000; by Mike Collins, to be split any
way they see fit. and today 1t looks
like the match is on. If the boxing
commission will permit a decision.
everything will be rosy. but it is
thought that if a verdict is not allowed
the boxers will agree on letting the
newspapers decide the honors.

Many Plans

Plans for the planting take many
phases. The Lincoln Highway Asso-
citation for instance is planning the
planting Of trees along that route. In
New Orleans the women's clubs plan
the planting of beautiful palms along
the roadways leading TO that city. In
Kansas Governor Arthur Capper is
urging the biggest tree-planting cam
paign Kansas ever saw. Governor
Goodrich, of Indiana, turns the matter
over to Richard Lieber, Secretary Of
The State Forestry Board, and a cam
paign by counties IS being mapped
out.
The American Forestry Association
has suggested TO the Board of Com
missioners of the District that an
Avenue of the Allies be planted
there with trees in honor of the ma
tons allied against autocracy. In
Pennsylvania, Robert S. Conklin, the
Commissioner of Forestry, heartily in
dorses the plan in these words, The

ing "Such noble endeavor." Mr.. Rane
suggests the returning soldiers be used
in the work of planting trees.
John II. Wallace, Jr., the Forestry
Commissioner for Alabama, has issued
an appeal for memorial tree planting
in that State in which he says: The
patriotic citizens planting trees will
reap rich harvest Of reward in per
sonal satisfaction in having done some,
thing real and tangible TO perpctuate
the sacred memory Of the individuals
comprising Alabama's priceless contri-
button in blood and manhood toward

tory over the military masters of Ger
