EUROPEAN ENVY

The American system of athletic training which eliminated in many American victories at the Antwerp Olympic games is now being sub- jected, throughout Europe. to a great deal of criticism, favorable and unfavorable, says an Associated Press correspondent writing from Antwerp.
 While, as an example, there are some members of the Dutch Olym- pic committee who consider Hol- land should adopt American methods in its universities and athletic clubs, others charge that such long inten- siTe training makes the athletes professional amateurs.
 1t recent meeting of the com mittee one speaker went so far as to question the amateur standing of the American navy crew which won the Olympic eight regatta. He said that these future American navy officers had done nothing dur ing their Annapolis four years but TOW. Europeans find it very difficult to understand that American uni versity men can devote so much time to sports and still find time for study ...

THE PUBLIC DID IT

The lowering of prices in ths States, which Is now in progress furnished ample proof that rhe public is about as much to blame for high prices as the men whc charged them. So long as the public continued to pay high prices there was not a chance to lower the cost of living. Wage earners were too busy campaigning for increased pay to give thought to concerted action against high prices. and the result was steady advance in living costs with only an occasiona! ad- vance in wages. And so 1t vent un- til the great American public be- came thoroughly aroused and re- fused longer to buy at fancy prices. Housewives combined in variety of crusades against prosiseering and men followed with overall and ther anti-high-price clubs with the result that eventually the backbone of the high price era was broken. Huge profits meant nothing the manu- facturers and retailers of goods re- mained unsold. and the answer is found now in a general downward revision of selling prices. There is a limit to price eoug:ne just as there is limit to everything else and the public has a weapon of de- fense which not even the mightiest trust can withstand. When the pub lie stops buying. rroftee-ing stops automatically.
 And in the general revision of things, in the light of events of the past few years, 1t will be difficult matter for employers of labor to prove that they cannot sell goods at a reasonable margin of profit and continue 10. pay good wages. They will try to prove it, and some of them wifi get away with the argu- ment by suspending operations un til their employees are ready to resume work at any wages offered them. But in the main labor will not give in without struggle and

Rounds at Boston, Scor-
ing Knockdo,Cn
By LOUIS II. JAEFE

a PCGILISTIC bomb exploded in
I \ Boston last night when Johnny

than preliminary boxer, dethroned
Mike O'Dowd, of st. Paul, as middle
weight champion Of the world Wilson
is the 15S- pound titleholder today as
result Of referees decision at the
ilnlsh % OF twelve rounds at the Fenway
Club. of Boston.
Reports Of the contest stated that the
new champion had the better Of eight
rounds, two went to O'Dowd and two
were even. O'Dowd was the aggresso,
throughout the contest. but Wilson, q
left handed boxer, scored repeatedly
with his right. O'Dowd excelled at in
hghting, but seemed unable TO fsthonl
Wilson's style of boxing.
O'Dowd Dropped s....
The only knockdown in the bout came
IN the second round, when Wilson
caught O'Dowd with straight right to
the jaw. O'Dowd went down for the
count CT four Wilson surprised the
followers of the, game by scoring an un
usual number of times with his right
breaking cleanly through O'Dewd's de-
fense.
The pace set by the men was fast
and at the end of the twelfth round both
were unsteady on theiy feet. -
,O,Dowd won the championship from,
AL Mccoy. familiarly called the Cheese
champion by knockout in the sixth
round of a ten round, no decision bout
in Brooklyn on November IA. 1917.
Since that time O'Dowd had been prov

champion to see service overseas during
the great war.

Joe Kennedy, the Manayunk box
ing promoter, who saw the O'Dowd-

says Hector Mclnnes, the referee,
was all wrong when he awarded the
decision to WILSON, and deprived
O'Dowd of his iniddleweight title.
1T was great fight" said Ken
nedy, this morning, "but O'Dowd
did all the forcing and made it n real
fight. The news dispatches say
O'Dowd took the count Of four when
he was knocked down in the second
round. That's wrong. O'Dowd was
up instantly and the blow didn't
seem to bother him much.
Neither man showed any marks
excepting that O'Dowd was bruised
where he had been hit low. He was
much stronger than Wilson at the
finish.
II came down in the train with
Battling Levinsky. and he said it
was O'Dowd's fight. ..
