 FOREIGN, JOBS
European Concerns Make Tempting Offers to Amer icans-Track and Field News.

It has been intimated in some of the letters receieved here recently rom members of the American army ath- the stars on the team may be tempt ed to accept positions from repre- sentatives of some of the European nations to train and prepare their track and field teams for the next Olympic games which are to take place at Antwerp next year.
 It is said that flattering offers have been made to several of them by some of the smaller nations who are anxious to make a creditable showing in the next worlds championships.
 Practically all of the athletes who went over from here are college un dregra duates, and would not consider any offer no matter how reI1:ytl-s N, may be. Several of them have two more years of college, and at least four go back to college as sopho- mOres.
 Bob Simpson, the worlds greatest hurdler, is the most in demand on account of his au-around ability Simpson is also a great broad jump CT, and he is also a very good high jumper and shot butter. While at col lege it was not an unusual thing for Simpson to capture the running broad and high jumps, shot-put and both hurdle races. lie is also a consistent ''ten-one'' man in the hundred. He has cleared twenty-three feet six inches in the running broad and six feet in the running high jump.
 
 Simpson might or might not prove a good coach. X wonderful athlete does not always prove good train er However it is doubtful if Simp- son would accept such position at this time, as he wants to win an Olympic championship before he quits the track, and he will have an op- portunity to compete for this honor neXt summer.
 Alma Richards, the former Cornell University and Olympic champion high jumper might accept one of the of fers being rendered by the European nations Richards, in addition to be- ing a champion high jumper, is a first class au-around performer, having to his credit tke decathlon champion ship of 1915, which took the place of the all-around athletic championship of that year.

A. dis GUS thrower, who took second place in the Olympic discus cham pionship at Stockholm, 1912, and finished in the same place in the Inter-Allied dis GUS championship last week, Is an- other who is being considered by the representatives of the European na- tions hunting for @ coach.
 John wiberg has resigned from the Swedish American A. C. Of Brook- lyn, and has asked to have his reg istration read to "unattached. He will be ineligible to represent another club until the end of next June.
 Oswald Larsen, who came here from Chicago last winter, with the lnten- ton of making New York his per manent home, has changed his mind and has returned to Chicago. When in New York, Larsen had all of the clubs angling for his services, and he was reported as having affiliated with at least a half a dozen clubs in the district during his stay here, but never wore the cOlors of any Of them

BARBOUR CLAIMS WILLARD QUIT
 IN THE FOURTH
Complicates Matters in Fig gle Bout-Pecord Gets Only $500 For His Ser vices.

Toledo, July 12.---Disagreeme ent be-
 tween Oliver Record and W. Warren Barbour referee and time keeper re-
 spectively of the Willard Dempsey
 championship bout here on July 4, be
 came public today when Pecord an-
 nounced he had received a letter from
 Barbour in which Barbour declared the bout ended in the fourth round. On the day following the bout Pecord announced in his official capacity that the affair ended in the third round, the towel was thrown in the ring be- fore the bell sounded for resumption of hostilities in the fourth. According to the Barbour letter, the bell rang for the fourth round before the token of defeat appeared on the scene.
 Pecord said that in his reply to Bar bour, he will adhere to his original ruling on the ground that as the ref cree heard no bell and as neither boxer nor their handlers gave any in- dication of hearing it, the fight tech nically stopped at the conclusion of the third round.
 Referee Pecord is receiving letters from all over the country asking him 1 for his opinion as to what round the i fight terminated.
 1 Frank E. Flournoy, Tex Richards associate in the promotion of the | bout. today offered Pecord $500 for his ! services as referee. His contract is l said to have called for $2 300, but 1 F1ournoy claims that in view of the l fact that the promoters profits were nominal the fee should be reduced Pecord is holding out for s1 O0O Ma

 IOie6O. ,Tn1v O1ivar referee of the WiIlard-Dempsey cham 1 pionship boxing exhibition here on July f, yesterday divulged the details 1 of an agreement which, he claims, was demanded by Jess Willard, to the effect that Pecord would not declare the winner if the bout went the 12- l round limit.
 | Pecord asserted he affixed his sig i nature to the agreement the day prior to the bout on the demand of Willard, i who declared he would not enter the l ring unless the decision was left in 1 the hands of the judges alone. l Pecord, declared that Willard, fear | ing a frameup, notified Tex Rfckard, l promoter of the bout. that he would i not go on with the fight until he was
 sure the Toledo official would consult
 with the judges before announcing i any verdict.
 It had been settled previously that l Rickard and Ma jor A. J. Drexel Bid | d1e as judges would give the decision | at the conclus on of the bout if it i went the designated number of l rounds. Should they disagree it was
 understood that Referee Pecord l would agree with one or the other or give his gym decision.

FOE Mt'INIHIT.L has said that he c will not go 10 Toledo If called by the Boxing Commissioners to tes- tlfy before them in their investiga- tons of the charges made by Billy RocPp. Why the commi toner's should call on MulvihilI Is more than can understand. True, Joe did lot of hustling and made himself generally useful in Toledo. but what information he may be able to supply the Commissioners is unknown. True. too. Joe has been saying a lot about the action of the fighters. pro- motors and others, but all this has been said unknown to Tex Rickard who probably wouldn't smile at all the stories.
 Mulyihill ridicules the Boxing Commissioners as he has ridiculcd- or tried to. anyway-tspnest and ex- pert newspaper writers. MuIvIhilI thought SO little about a sport writer that he was telling all of Toledo and the world fair that he was one of them. Tn fact, so certain was he that he attended q meeting of the writers. uninvited, as T. A. DorEau has said Mulvihill had lots of praise for those sport writers in Toledo. but when he camo to Bridgeport his mind sud- denly changed.

Grimes had Umpire Kitty Bransfield examine the ball Lindstrom was using and when the arbttcr returned it to the pitcher, the fans are reported to have jeered him. Tn visitors made little or no effort to hit the ball, however.

E OR SOME reason or other there 1T is lot of fuss being made over Joe Mulvihill and so far as we can sec Joe is doing 1t all by his lonesome. The public is well aware of the fact that Mulvihlll spent some thing like six weeks in Toledo work ing for Tex EiclSard Also We know very well that irc was there at the big fight. We know, too. that he was a busy man out there-around the fight headquarters.
 But there were other men who were out in Toledo-far more import ant than Mulvihin even dares aspire to be. These have returned home quietly, but Joe Mulvihill treated himself to brass band. doing his own tooting-and footing for a lot of other folks. He bas drawn mag nincent pictures of things that he will accomplish-if the police commits sioners will give him the necessary permission and they certainly will not. according to Commissioner John c. Stanley.
 These other chaps. take Tex Rick ard, for instnnce-just for instance. he quietly came into New York. He has been ducking the newspapermen. But Joe Nru1vihin Is having tho greatest time in his young life jump ing into newspaper offices. knocking everybody out in Toledo telling how rotten some writers were and how right he was oh. it's a wonderful time that this gentleman from Dam bury is having.
 And now he says he Ia coming back into Fairfield County. Why shou1dn't he. when he receives such . reception that he had received. Some one has said that he has been received like a great hero.
 All of which reminds us of that good old ballad of the birdies that Low Kelly used to rattle off so me- lodiously as the snow fe1l. entitled, ''Blow That Smoke Away"

DATES ARE SET
BY Commission
To PLANT TREES
Work Should Be Done Be-
tween March 20 and May I
to Get Best Results in This
Climate, Claim of Experts,

The tree planting commission has
specified that the approved dates for
tree planting by contractors under the
auspices Of the commission will be
between March 20 and May 81 This
specification was made in response to
requests by prospective bidders that
they be notified of the season when
active planting operations would pass
inspection The commission does not
approve planting earlier than March
20 because of the danger of the tree
drying out before ii actually can begin
to grow, which is generally about May
!. The public is advised not to put
in trees earlier than March 20, be
cause IN this climate they are severely
handicapped by long exposure to
spring winds If planted earlier.
Several prospective bidders have
notified the commission that they ex-
poet to enter the business on q large
scale and plant trees by the thou
sands, provided they receive the nee
essary public support.
Property owners will be solicited
for trees Immediately after the bids
are approved on February 10.
ON account of the large amount of
moisture which has fallen this winter
this spring promises to be an eXcep-
tionally GOOD one for tree planting
and with the rigid inspection provided
by the tree planting commission it
should be possible for property own
ers to plant trees with good chance
of complete success.

County Assessor stephen Roehl stated

higher valuation than that previously
placed upon them.
Mr. Roehls statement follows:

figures evidently emanating from the
state tax commissioners office, say
ing Bernalillo county lost some 5000
acres of grazing land from 1916 to
