The very first boxing tournament of

was that of last evening twiXt padded

The athletic committee announced
after the fray that boxing will be a
minor sport at Penn. and tournament

Last nights bouts were won by the

All About ||Pinky" Gardner Who
Wrestles Jack Ozar on Thursday

Wrestling bouts at the Orpheum
theater net Thursday night are call
ing out much speculation, for Jack
Ozar has some job ahead of him with
Pinkie Gardner. This wonderful ath-
lete is not familiar to local sport
patrons. his activities being away
from this immediate neighborhood,
but his reputation is nation wide.
Some information regarding this idol
of the wrestling wiring is borrowed
from Louis Cline. of an Atlantic City
paper. who writes:
The first time I say Carol Gard
ner, who is known to wrestling fans
as "Pinky" was at the match last
week with Joe Turner, at the New
Nixon Theater; and from point OF
vantage on the stage, close to the
padded mat, l thought him the most
perfect specimen of physical man
outside of Eugene Sandow 1 had
ever seen. And I had seen many
specimens of the human anatonomy,
when 1 was with Sandow, over fif-
teen years ago. In fact, 1 had seen
the best specimens in this country
when a student of the Sandow sys-
tenn of physical development.
What struck me so forcibly on the
night of Gardner's meetings with
Turner, was the aggressive manner
in which he worked. He is like chaln
lightning. He moves with the sinu-
Gus grace of panther. His tread is
cat-like, and he doesn't know what
rest means. l don't know what his
motto is. but it must be up and at
'emn
But while Gardner has perfect
physical body, in his skull he car
ries a brain that for boy, is unu-
sual. He has quick thinking mind,
a clear eye and a forceful determine
tion and gameness that woun un-
doubtedly make him a captain of
industry, if he should give up wrest-
ling and take to business.
asked Gardner where he had
learned the wrestling game. and he
told me in the Y. NJ. C. A. He claims
that he was always interested in
athletics, and frequently appeared in
the Y. NJ. C. A. circuses. 1t was there
that he learned the tumbling which
he uses to get him out of precarious
holds.

Sammy Schif INDICATED
by Philadelphia Paper

Sammy Schiff, the promising
Harrisburg fighter has been COM
pletely vindicated for his part in
a recent bout before the National
A. A., of Philadelphia. The Phila-
delphia Bulletin has this to say:
Referee Tommy Riley, who has
been h-hitting for Pop"
O'Brien, lost his head, and sent
Sammy Schiff from the ring in the
third round for alleging that he
was not trying against Willie
Harmon. The crowd refused to
allow Schiff to leave the ring, and
for about fifteen minutes had
grand time protesting. Riley was
hooted when he entered the ring
to referee the next bout, and the
objections were continued so
strongly that another arbiter was
sent in"

FIGHT OF BRITISH INTERESTS
TO CONTROL TRANSPORTATION
Startles u. s. Shipping Board-Great
Economic War Now on in Earnest.
Reduce Rates After Garnering
- Cargoes For Three Months
Business.

washington, Jan. Zo-brltlSn SNIP
ping interests have come into the
open in their fight for control Of
ocean transportation. Long fully
concealed indications today were that
the great economic war which has
been threatened is on in earnest.
Shipping board official circles were
startled by what officials term unfair
competition by the British. i
On the heels of the announcement
Of a reduction of sc 2-3 per cent in
rates to Great Britain it was assert
ed here that British shipping inter
ests have garnered cargoes suffici-
.ent for three months business and
these, it was declared, were contract
ed for before the rate reduction and
therefore at the previous high rate.
All cargoes now offered which
have not been placed under contract,
were said to be accepted'by the Brit
ish at the new rate. This, it was
pointed out, ties up all cargoes for
which British interests have bottoms.
In addition to this it was asserted
among officials, British interests have
begun chartering American owned
vessels.
It was evident from reports re-
ceiyed here, that the chartering Of
American owned ships was being
done by the British to provide space
for all cargoes offered under the new
rates. s;
I The shipping board Immediately
met the British rate reduction. But
in shipping circles, it was said, that
when American vessels obtain the
cargoes, many hardships in the way
Of foreign port facilities are found
to be in their way. On the other
hand when the consignment is ship
ped in British vessels, the "ways are
creased" reports indicate.
Government officials were sorely
disturbed. But among shipping board
officials, the. unveiled policy of meet
ing the new conditions squarely was
again reiterated.

Paris, Jan. 2s.-The European

frontiers, declared George Nicon
Barnes, labor representative on the
British peace delegation, in discuss
ing the proposal to prohibit 3, inni-

some years after the signing Of the
peace treaty. European labor, he
said, was strongly opposed to such
q law, although it was unable to pre-
vent its passage. I. 81
The European labor market, Mr..
Barnes pointed out, was full while
the field for employment in the I'M
tied States hardly had been scratch,
ed over. Mr.. Barnes said he thought
provision should be made, however,
for employment of emigrants before
they embark for a foreign land.
Mr.. Barnes was in conference to-
day with delegates from the British
trades unions, regarding the draft OF
a measure for the proposed interna,
tional labor bureau which when com.
pleted would be submitted to the
representatives of British employers
After this has been done the measure
will be taken before the peace con.
ference. Other drafts, it is expect.
ed, will be submitted by other ma.
tions, All are to be compared and
