BOXING IS POPULAR
WITH WORLD FIGHTERS

Paris. Feb. IA few years ago San
Fitzpatrick. the veteran manager Of
ring artists. brought Peter Jackson &c
Paris. On another journey the man
agsr plotted Kid l-avigne to the French
metropolis. after the American had
captured the lightweight cham ptonshir
of the world from Burge of England
At that time the French people had nc
interest in the affairs OF the hempen
square and both Jackson and IAvigns
spent their time in viewing the differ
ent points of interest.
Now it is different A few nights
ago the same Sam Fitzpatrick now a
knights Of Columbus secretary, was
present at boxing carnival staged by
the Knights of Columbus In Paris. and
more than 1000 soldiers of every na-
tionality watched the excellent card
which was presented by J. J. Carey, the
boxing impresario.
All available space in the large thea :
ter was occupied. Men stood on chairs
crouched over tho balcony and stood In
the aislea Soldiers of every nationality
gathered to watch the excellent enter
tainment which had been provided
Boxing has made its mark in Paris.
1t was truly a cosmopolitan audience
The American soldiers were in tho ma
jority. but scattered through the crowd
were French. English. Beigia Italia ms
and lighters from many other nationaii-
ties. In the front rows one caught a
glimpse of colonies. majors, newspa-
per correspondents here for the peace
conference, members of the embassy,
business men of the city and the real
boxing fans from the French capital
The real boxing fan was there. A
douEhboy from Boston stationed in the
balcony exclaimed on many occasions:
Nht Y, tn 40 4. IL,
lift his bean"
few seats away a coiored boy from
Mississippi yelled.
slip him one for me, Slim"
When a boy was introduced from
New York. the soldiers from the EN-
pire state went Wild. The same held
good when. the young ring artist hailed
from Keokuk or kalamazoo.
And best of all. the American BOYS
who watched the American boxers ba.
tIe> with the French were fair in every
sense of tho word. Whenever the
French ringman clearly outpointed the
lad from the United States he WAS
given an ovation by the doughboys
On this evening the American boxers
triumphed. winning three bouts out of
five. and getting a draw in the other
two affairs.
The French boxers displayed sorne
remarkable work on the defensive, but
the majority of them have failed 20
take advantage of the effective use
or the "uppercut." In few short
years they have developed footwork to
a remarkable extent, but they have
failed to show as much on the attack
as the Americans. Boxing promises
TO become as popular in France as in
the United states. and the Knights OF
Columbus. In staging weekly bouts.
have done much TO foster the manly
art throughout France

criticisms OF each other. One morn

elected a challenge from Peasants.
The criticism was written by Thomas

challenged.

opposite side of James river, armed

CLEAN CORNFTrLDS
TO KILL, BORERS

Washington, D. C. Feb. i5-Corn
growers in the Southeastern states
should destroy all corhstalks and
stubble remaining in the fields from
the previous crop before spring plant
ing time comes, in order to kill the
larger cornstalk borer which may be
wintering there. This is the recon-
mendation made by entomologists OF
the United States Department of
Agriculture in Farmers Bulletin 1925,
soon to be published by the depart
ment. Cleaning up the cornfields and
thus destroying the breeding places
Of the insect Is probably the best
remedy known for controlling this
pest, the entomologists say, but to be
most effective the work should be
undertaken simultaneously by all the
farmers Of 4 locality.
