To Hold Trials in
 Boxing and Graphing
 for US. Olympic Team

New York, March 2S.-Boxing and wrestling trials for places upon the American Olympic team will be con ducted along lines similar to those arranged for the track ana field can didates. These conditions were worked out at a recent meeting Of the American Olympic Committee and the official program of sectional and national trials will be announced within a short time. While no dates have as yet been fixed for these pre- liminaries it is expected that the sec | tonal bouts for the boxers will be held about the middle of June and the final tryout early in July.
 It is probable that the sectional contests will be assigned to certain l cities in the south, middle-west, At lantic Coast, Rocky Mountain anu Pacific Coast territories The condi- 1 tions to govern these bouts will be 1 identical with those which will pre- vail iQ tLe Olympic contests at Ant werp, Aug. Is to 2e. Eight ounce gloves will be worn by the contest ants and the boxers will compete
 under the rules of the International 1 Boxing Federation. Three three-min- ! ute rounds will form the ordinary en-
 gagement and two judges, in addition to the referee, will pass upon the ] merits of the boxers. In case of a
 disagreement of the judges at the | termination of the third round the
 referee has the power to order an
 additional round to break the tie.
 The official program of the OIyn- l pic Games states that the boxing | contests will be held at Antwerp from Aug IS to 26 with entries closing on
 July 26. The weight divisions will
 consist of eight classes in which each 1 nation will be permitted to enter 1 three contestants, two of whom may
 compete. The weight limit in various

NO BALL PARK
 IN WORCESTER
 FOR THIS YEAR

The Eastern League has still an other stumbling block to overcome before it finally gets set on the 1920 pennant race A situation has arisen in Worcester that promises to give the magIAates of that city a. few an xous and busy moments. The ball park that has been used by the Boosters for years past has been se- cured by 8, real estate agent in that city and, according to the present outlook, the park will not be turned lover this year to the Worcester Base ball club
 Manager Johnny McMahon, who falso owns part of the club, says that Worcester will play baseball, though, if the games have to be fought out on the, Commons He doesn't know yet whether he can secure the old ball field again.

Yacht Racing Will
 Be Held at COWes

London, March g. - The famous 'NCowes week. is to be revived in it's entirety this summer, and the Royal Yacht Squadron will hold races on August 3, 4, 5, and 6. The King and Queen expect to be present on board the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert.
 It may be recalled that the King offered a gold cup for competition at the Cowes Regatta of 1914 which was abandoned at the eleventh hour owing to the war. This cup will now be offered for a, race confined to yachts owned by members of the Royal Yacht Squadron.
 King George intends to race his cutter Britannia during the coming season and the famous boat may be expected to figure prominently in the Cowes Regatta;- which was neces- sari1y suspended during the war; was the authorized statement made at a meeting of the Yacht Racing Association by Major Hunloke, one of the Kings grooms-i -in-waiting and his adviser in yachting matters.
 Word comes from Scotland that the Yacht Meteor, the last of the three boats of that name owned by the ex-Kaiser, which was purchased by V. Behar, a British carpet mer- chant, may compete with King Georges yacht Britannia in the Clyde regatta this summer.
 Ambitious plans for the practical encouragement of sports among the people of England are projected by the British Olympic Association | which has announced it's program in connection with an appeal to the public for funds required to send a team to the International meet at | Antwerp.
 i There are teo many spectators ot l sport in England and too few play 1 ers,'' asserts the Association in its | statement.
 't7Ehe reason is obvious. The coun, try is pitifully lacking in playins 1 fields. In providing and improving | grounds, club houses, etc, a very large sum might fruitful1y be spent During the year 1920 it will at 1eas | be possible to lay the foundation O
 an organization for this purpose. Thi

Bud Palmer Defeats
 Lawson in Fast Bout at Ar1nory A. A. Smoker

Although he was up against a, tough opponent in Jack Lawson of New York, Bud Palmer of this city was given the decision in the star bout at the Armory A. A. smoker last night. Lawson started in the first round as if he would knock Palmer for a goal but the local boy made @ strong show ing after that and was entitled to the honors.
 Young Mack of Hartford display ed more ability than Young Wallace Of New Haven and was entitled to the decision. Packey Hannon of this city met a hard proposition in Sidney Fsaaes of New Haven but Eannon won by a slight margin. George Proto of New Haven won from Terry OfCon- nor of Hartford in the opener.

BENNY vALCER SIGNS ID MEET
 KlLBANE AGAIN

New York, March 23.-Benny Val
 ger, the self-styled French Flash ,''
 is still la,boring under the delusion
 that he is a featherweight despite
 the fact that he entered the ring for
 his recent racket in Newark with
 Johnny KiTbane at 124 3-4 pounds,
 his lowest possible weight Although
 he was awarded the popular decision over the urbane Forest City politician
 on the occasion of their previous meeting. Benny evidently isn't con- tented with the result He is obsessed q l with the notion that he can separate Ki1bane from his title with a ten second wallop, particularly in a twelve or fifteen round affair. However, in view of the fact that i KiIbane will not consent to an argu- ment of such extended duration, Joe ] Jacobs, the loquacious manager of i Valger, affixed his autograph on the 1 specified line of a contract last night 1 calling for his protege to mix things | with Kilbane in a, six-rounder at the l National League Park, Philadelphia, l on June '. Leo Rains, the prominent 1 Quaker City sporting man, will stage l the affair.
 Thus far KiIbane hasn't signed the l articles for the racket, although it is i SalQ that ne baS promised Ea1nS IC ! accept the match.
 Valger does not intend to park his ! gloves in cold storage until the nigh i of June '. He will fight himself into shape for the Ki1bane bout. Three l bouts, billed to be fought~to more ol 1 less decisive decisions this month ! have already been consummated, an6 I Jacobs announces that he is negotia- i ting for several others for the month l of April

Gene Tunney After
 Match With Willie Meehan of Coast Fame

Efforts are being made to bring Willie Meehan on from the Pacific Coast for a bout with Gene Tunney at Jersey City next month. Meehan has been offered $2,50O for the bout and is ready to accept as soon as he receives transporta ton.
 Matching Tunney with the con queror- of Jack Dempsey seems to be a rather nasty proceeding, but Nee han undoubtedly has gone back of late and it is highly probable that the youngster will be able to take his measure.
 Chick wiggins, a light heavy weight, who recently returned from Australia, where he made a great i'm pression, is another who is going East from California to seek a match with Tunney.

Erne and Joe Cans
 Fought Great Bout

Frank Erne defeated Joe Cans in 12 rounds at New York twenty years ago today This bout between the little Swiss boxer and the clever ne gro was for the lightweight title, then held by Erne. There was a great deal of feeling between the two fight ters. and their friends and many young fortunes were wagered on the issues.
 Charley White was referee In cleverness and genera1ship the men were about evenly matched but Joe showed a lack of gameness in that contest.
 During the first eight rounds Cans had the shade, but after that the Buffalo boy assumed the aggressive and in the 12th round he knocked Joe against the ropes. While trying tc escape from his tight position Cans and Frne accidentally butted each
 other with their heads, and, strange to say, the black boy got the worst of it. One of his eyes was closed and, declaring that he couldn't see Cans refused to fight any longer. 4 couple of years later Cans met Ernt and won the title with a single punch in the first round.

Notes Of Arno0rU Bouts
By Les }GV.

By Les lev.
 All corking good bouts last nights. All went to a decision and a winner was returned at the end of each bout. The only reason Proto got the decision over O'Connor was because the loser was an out-of-town boy.
 Palmer fought the best bout of a lifetime last night. And he did not have an easy time of it, either. Bud took a bad beating but that did not stop him from winning.
 Too bad that there was only a small crowd to see a splendid show. It takes an organized club like the Crashes to get a big crowd.
 During the third bout Tim ekeeper O'Connor's gong began to get sick. It could barely be heard at all. But don't falter people, Al Ketchel came to the rescue with a hammer. ext time, Michael. use Palmer's head. It is tough and hard. Ask Ketehel and Lawson, they know.
 Something unusual happened at the smoker. Billy Hogan did not make a single announcement for a coming smoker. Wonder what the trouble was. The Hannon- -Isaacs affair was a real burIesque. The only time that the New. Havener- would fight was when Hannon would hit him in the bread basket. And when Isaacs open | ed up he fought like a bulldog and 1 he made Hannon fight hard. The l only trouble was that Isaacs did not open up much. He covered up about three-fourths, of the ,time zr ! IIsaacs was in bad condition in

TO REVIVE HAND SPINNING.

New York. March 23-A national movement to revive hand spinning and weaving of linen to relieve the acute linen shortage has been launch ed by the newly organized society for the revival of home industry and do- nestle art, it was announced today. More than 25O spinning wheels have been collected from homes and an tique shops by the association, which proposes to form chapters in all sec tions of the United States. Expert spinners and hand loom weavers mostly immigrants from Russia, will be engaged in the work and in the instruction of novices.

not put him away. Isaacs' peculiar style of defence made him last the four rounds. Hannon has yet to learn 6 lot about boxing. He could have fin ished his opponent if he knew a little science.
 Hannon has fought three times at the Armory A. A. and each time he has been returned victor. Packey- has had each of his men almost out but he could not knock him out. Hannon has two wicked arms he has yet to develop a knockout punch.
 There was a long wait between
 bouts and the fans became restless. The first bout started at p. m.

Americans Abroad
Fight Double Taxes

BERLIN, Dec. Is.-American busi-
ness men domiciled here are unsni-
nous in wanting alienation Of the
present friKhtful restrictions on
passports. This is true as to both
the charges for vises and the diff
culties placed in the path OF the
business men. The American Asso-
citation OF Trade and Commerce Ia
vors repeal OF present-day restriC-
tions. and will join in a joint meas
ure to be placed in the next con-
gress, looking TO relief from double
taxation.
At present, American business men
abroad are forced to pay their horDs
taxes, and in addition heavy foreign
taxes. 1t is understood that the Al
lies have obtained some modincs-
tions concerning their subjects in
the central powers and IL is the plan
to ask congress to take some action
so that the man abroad is not sub
1ected to a double burden.
As for passports, all governments
have raised their prices to meet the
Increased American scale, but bust
ness men say unnecessary delays
and demands are imposed for short
journeys or for passing through
countries such. for instance, as Bel
gium, which asks 500 marks for
mere passage.
