Aviators' Sport" Forbidden.

What promised to develop into a highly exciting sport has just been. cut off in it's infancy by Gen. William L. Kenly, head of the army aircraft sery. ice.
 He has issued an order forbidding army aviators, either on duty. at prac- tice, or flying for pleasure, from shoot ing wild ducks and other fowl with machine guns. The practice not only gave the birds, small run for their money and endangered the lives of people for two miles around. but wasted quantities of costly ammuni- tiOn.

Cure Bent Backs by Suggestion.

Suggestion plays great part in the cure of physical ills of soldiers. Ac- cording to Lieut.. Col. A. F. Hurst, all men suffering from bent backs can be cured by persuasion and re-educa- tion.
 The patient is told that his posture is a bad habit formed when his back was painful. He is asked to stand with his back to wall, with his heels touching it. His shoulders are then gently pushed back till they touch the wall.
 In most instances the soldier finds that ia few minutes he can stand erect without support. and after. walk ing few times in the same posture his cure is complete.

UNEVEN DISTRIBUTION OF POP
ULATION.

Two grave problems have arisen over
which authorities are especially concern
ed. One is to determine what shall be
done with the former service men who
are DESTROYS of migrating to the domin-
ions or to foreign countries principally
the United States) in the hope of find
ing better opportunities. The other is
the disposition of England's large sur
plus of women. The government does
not question the right of people to leave
the mother country to go to the domin-
ions or elsewhere, vet it is possible, it is
pointed out that il the FESTIVE ones rea-
lized conditions as they are they would
not be SO hasty. Good land today in
many parts of England is cheaper than
it is in New Zealand. The outlying pos.
sessions are not in need of farmers so
m .ch as thew are Of laborers and domestic
81 wants but England needs all of her
rural population. Men especially are
wanted in England while in the domin-
ions there are more men than women. If
it could be possible to persuade the male
portion to remain In the mother coun-
try and induce some Of the surplus wo-
men to do the emigrating the problems
of satisfactory population adjustment
Wouldbe much nearer CT solution than
they are at present ibid.

WILLARD SELLS
 REST OF CIRCUS

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 14 - Jess Willard, heavyweight champion of the world, is no longer proprietor of circus. The Kansas rancher and king of pugilists came to Kansas City Wednesday and disposed of his circus train and equipment to the Horn Amusement Co. of this city for $47,- GOO. This does not include any of the animals that were with Willard's Wild West Show when he toured the country in 1917. He sold the anil mals more than a year ago.
 Willard is now interested only in oil leases and his ranch near Law renee, where he makes his home.
 The champion is doing some light training in preparation for his bout with Jack Dempsey on July f which will be promoted by Tex Rickard. Jess says he has not heard from Rtckard since the promoter was here short time ago. Ray Archer, man. ager for Willard, will be here today. He has been in Jacksonville, Fla, shipping some of the circus equip ment to this city.

FRED WALKER NOW ATHLETIC INSTRUCTOR
 IN RHODE ISLAND

The many fans who remember the New Haven baseball team of two years ago will be interested to know that Fred Walker, then a pitcher on that team, and who was later traded to the Chicago Cubs is now Athletic instructor at the Rhode Island State college.
 The first move made by Walker when he took charge at Kingston was to induce the college to appro- priate enough money to furnish each of the 225 students with athletic equipment, after which he persuaded each student to give an hour a day three days a week to one snort or another. The plan is working well and the undergraduate body Is very enthusiastic, so that within a short time Walker should have an excellent mass of material from which to choose his varsity athletes.

SPORTING ELEMENT FEARS CON-,
 HOLCOaD MAY VETO BOXING BILL
Governor Has Never Made Himself Clearly Un derstOod on His Attitude Towards Boxing State Promoters Are Worried.

center of the universe, his part was not Q small one. His able leadership brought together a. force of men that oyercame all obstacles, and when the records of the four years are written Connecticut will stand out prominent ly among "Forty-Eight." Will he, then, favor the great national sport which was So highly thought of by lighting men on land and sea? Box ing, not prize fighting, was a cherish ed pastime of the men who bIed and died that the world might be free rom the horrors of Prussianism. It was upheld by the men who led these fighters and by the big men and big ger organizations back home who stood back of them. Will he, then if it's up to him, stand back of what these boys want? We think he will.
 Boxing Is not a moral question. There is nothing wrong about box ing. If there was the United States government, the big fraternaI and so- c1al organizations, the clergy and ev- eryone else would not have stood for 1t during the war. We defy anyone to clalm otherwise. Then, if boxing was all right then, why is it not all right now? If the game was a good game for men on whom the very world depended, and at the moment upon which 1t actually did depend. :s there any good reason why the sport they love should not be given to them when their task is done? We claim not.
 Men get hurt in every game they attempt. Deaths have resulted from almost every active game we know And they will as long as the earth goes round. In boxing men will get hurt, but if the game is placed upon a legal basis and conducted by mar who know the game, and by men who like the game and want to see it eN. ist, it will be no more dangerous than other sports-even if it is pos sible that it is already more danger ous. We don't think it is.
 Within 8 short time possibly within a few days, a boxing bill vii come before the legislature at Hart. ford. We think the men who are there to make our laws Er0Y that boxing is wanted and that. they k-ov it is real sport for real American if properly conducted. And we think they'll vote for a bll which wou1t legalize the game s~ Connecticut. &rt | if they do this the bill will go to Gov Marcus +. Holcomb for approval He's war governor ard we th:nl | he'll see it through"

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-02-14

State boxing leaders who are nat urally interested in the bill recently presented to the legislature at Hart ford which would legalize the sport in this state, are discussing the possi- bility of Governor Holcomb signing 1t should it once get through the House and Senate. The governors views on boxing have never been made quite clear although he is known to be g. lover of clean sports. There seems to be considerable un- easiness regarding his attitude, and as far as has been ascertatned the pro- motors throughout the state are really worried.
 It was stated last night that Dick Howell prominent referee in the old days and an authority on sport, who, by the way, framed the bill, has been in Hartford all the week sounding out the state lawmakers on the meas ure. Howell, it is understood, has received great encouragement all along the line, but he himself is some- what slleptical of the governors views on the subject.
 When the bill comes up for dis cussion within the next week or two an effort will be made to have every city where boxing has been staged with success represented in large numbers. New Haven could send such men as Dave Fitzgerald, Frank Coyle, J. Harmar Bronson, Tex Me Cam, Vincent Re "a and Captain Doherty, all of whom are strong ad- vocates of boxing and who have been affiliated with the promoting end of the sport during the past dozen years. Bridgeport's delegation could include Dick Howell, Billy Hogan, Terry Lee and Harry Quinn, while Waterbury and Meriden might send George Mul- ligan and Mike Doran, respectively. Hartford, too, could do a whole lot toward converting the legislators into boxing fans if the Capital City will only show sufficient interest. The Meriden Record has been a strong advocate of boxing for a num- Der of years. What it's sport expert has to say in regard to the boxing bill is worth reprinting. He says among other things:
 Marcus H. Holcomb Is and has been a war governor This fact is unquestioned. He labored day and night through the great conflict which has passed, always seeking tc do something toward the successful promotion of the great struggle ir i which the country was involved.

LEO FLYNN IS
 MCOY'S. SPONSOR

Leo P. Flynn, manager of fighters and near fighters, in a letter to The Times says:
 T have taken Al Mccoy, the ex- middleweight champion of the world, under my management, and from ow on he will be in the best of shape and pay strict attention to training. He intends to make a new drive to re- gain his title which he lost last year to Mike ODowd, the present title holder. Mccoy will be in shape by the 18th of February and will be eady to take on Mike Gibbons, Tommy Robson, or any middleweight living It will be remembered that when Mo- Coy knocked out George Chip for the middleweight championship, he gave Chip two chances to win the title back, something no other champion ever did to a vanquished foe. So we trust that Mike ODowd will do likewise, but, until O'Dowd comes back, Gibbons will de nicely, or anyone else clamoring for 8 crack at the middfeweight crown"
