 Tonight, too, the Arena is expected to house one of the largest crowds ever congregated there, for the match that Manager Dick Curley has arrang- ed gives promise of being one of the best ever brought to New England.

 Ivan Linow, the Russian Cossack, is down for a clash with Jack Rog- CTS, champion of the United States army and this bout should prove hard fought contest. These men will wrestle to a finish, two of three falls to constitute a decision.

~ ONNECTICUT fans have been O educated to witnessing long distance bouts, i. e., 12, IS and 20 round bouts and to drop the limit to four is anything but demonstra- tive of progress for the sport here. In the first place four-rounders fur nish no excitement, and it's excite ment that boxing fans crave when they part with their hard earned one and two dollars. And four rounders cannot give him a face value return for the money he has been asked to pay.
 Here in Bridgeport we are thank full because our Commissioners have at least appreciated the fact that four-rounders are far from popular Eight round bouts will be allowed here. Why the limit shove have been set down to four rounds is some thing needing a, little explaining, for surely the public has not demanded it and the distance has proven far from successful on the Coast, elim- mating, therefore, any argument that the distance was adopted be- cause Californians derived consider able sport from it.

NXT ATERBURY will return to w boxing. The Police Com n1issioners there have granted two permits for shows this month Only tour-round bouts will be permitted, which develops the question:
 Does Connecticut want four round bouts?"
 If we are to take the New Haven shows for examples the answer is in the negative. There has not been a single successful show staged in New Haven under the four-round regime. By successful. I mean pugilistically, for I know one promoter did make a little money-but it was a very small profit.

E OUR round bouts tend to bring B about two things: They tempt the contestants into stalling and in vite fake fights. The good battIer will not dare take chances in a four rounder for the very good reason that it takes every bit of four rounds to ascertain what the other chap has. And only a foolish lad will en- deavor to score a. nasty victory with out first knowing what he is up against.
 Boxers are condemned because l they do not go right out with the clang of the bell in the first round and slambang their way through un- | til the final gong. To expect two seasoned and experienced boxers to do this in a four-rounder is selfish. 1 It is a very foolish boxer who will i come right out and slug with his | opponent without first knowing what the latter has. Four-rounders such as these critical writers de-
 mand fighters to furnish are prize fights" for surely one needs no
 science to go against an opponent
 and merely swing his hands.
 Four-round exhibitions are all
 right But that is all. They are
 merely exhibition and for the pro- | unjust A boxer can only give ar exhibition in that time.
 There is a rumor that Ray Cald. l well soon will be traded or released | outright by the Red Sox.

Socialist Paper Vendor

BERKELEY. May 14.-About forty
freshmen students OF the University
of California. led by Robert Lamborn,
freshmen yell leader. attacked Her
man Meyerlin, vendor of socialistic
papers. at Sather Gate. Meyerlin's
papers were burned by the freshmen
in the street, his hat was knocked off
by the crowd and he was roughly
treated. He was chased for two
blocks by the crowd who shouted and
called out Good by to Bolshevlsm.'
I'VE want none of It on the cam
pus.' Meyerlin was put on street
car by I-amborn at the end Of the two
block race and told not to return to
Berkeley. Lamborn is the brother of
Clyde Lamborn. senior student of the
University Of California and chairman
OF the National Service Committee.
Meyerlin was rushed by the fresh
men just as hundreds OF students
were going through Sather Gate at
9 o'clock classes. A great crowd in
which were many co-ends gathered

and cheered them. Meyerlin made no
attempt to defend himself but asked
to be allowed to gather up his maga-
zines. This was refused and a match
set to the pile Meyerlin then ran
followed by the entire crowd.
Robert Lamborn. who led the crowd
said he had been watching Meyerlin
for some time. Several times he had
bought his papers to see what sort OF
literature he was selling on the cam.
pus. He came to the conclusion last
night that he was Bolshevist and
was really a propagandist.
I'VE know this about Meyerlin," he
said. He was in Germany at the
outbreak of war in 1914 and left
there to come to the United states
some time before we entered the war.
He was held on suspicion Of being a
spy by the government during the
war"

prepared by the United States Depart.
rnent of Agriculture.)
Although S14,550000 was available
for expenditure on the post roads from
the federal aid road act, only S425,-
AS was paid from federal funds in the
highway construction season Of 1918
on all projects. The reason for this,
according to the annual report of the
secretary of agriculture, was the
steps taken to conserve money, labor,
transportation and materials in high
way work during the war, and at, the
same time to facilitate really essential
highway projects.
In connection with the federal aid
road work, a letter was addressed to
each state highway department ask
ing that a program of federal aid con-
struction be submitted at the earliest
possible date. in which would be in
cluded only those projects which the
state highway departments considered
vitality necessary to the transportation
facilities of the country.
At the request of the capital issues
committee, engineers Of the depart
ment were made available for inspect
Ing and reporting upon proposed high
way and irrigation and drainage bond
issues. Inspections were made of 1S1
separate projects, involving total bond
issues of $36,912,396. An arrange
ment was made with the fuel admin
istration whereby highways of special
importance should receive enough BIZ
luminous material to provide for ade-
Quate maintenance, and, where neces-
sary to permit construction and recon-
struction. From May 10, 1918, when
the cooperation became actively effec-
tive, until the close Of the fiscal year,
2,235 applications, calling for 75,OOO,-
900 gallons Of bituminous material,
were received from states, counties and
municipalities. OF this amount APP
proval was given and permits were is
sued for 5S,000,000 gallons.
In order to coordinate the activities
of various government agencies, so far
as they relate to highways; better to
conserve materials, transportation,
money and labor; to eliminate delays
and uncertainties, and to provide posi-
