For months I attended shows attack Dcyle's Vernon arena, and time and again saw the same boys tin action. But never could I notice any improvement.

 NO SCIENCE
 Science is more or less an unknown art among the bulk of the four-round bows in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The bulk of them know nothing but hit, hit, hit. They jump in, bang away, then step back, get their breath and then are smashing away at each other again. It's action. and it's battling. And that, after all, is what the public likes to see. But I wish for the sake of the game's future. and for the boys themselves, that some Sne would come along, take these hcsss in hand and school them in boxing. What wonders some of them would be. Many of them are naturally great fight CTS; boys that could be schooled quickly in ring warfare. And it seems to me like waste of precious ring talent to let those boys go along without any one attempting to teach them the finer points of the game.
 Not so long ago Benny Leonard and Billy Gibson went to the Pacific coast. There they met a young lightweight, Joe Benjamin Both men took fancy to him.

This increase was advised on the ground that additional expense would be incurred this year in sending teams 10 compete in the Davis cup and the English tennis Championships and possibly other foreign matches The entire report was adopted.
 The Davis cup committee, in it's report, recommended that the United States this held by Australia, and also that the United States enter team in the Eng fish championship. The challenge is to be sent before March l, the date when entries for the Davis cup close. In ad- dition it recommended the United States Lawn Tennis Association enter team in the Olympic tennis championships. This report was adopted. It was decided that the entries of the teams for the Davis cup, English championship and Olympic games should be left in the hands of the executive committee of the association.
 The Olympic tennis matches have been set too late in the year, and the eXecu- tive committee will endeavor to secure earlier dates for these events in order that the American team which plays in the English tournament can also play at Antwerp and return in time to take part in the United States national champion ships, which also will be played for dur ing the last week of August.

 Those fighters in the east must be an awful gang if Benjamin can whip ern for Joe was only a second-rater out here"
 That may be true, But Benjamin isn't second-fater now. And the reason is that the very minute that Gibson signed him to a contract he began to tutor Ben jamin. with Leonard assisting
 GIBSON MADE" LEONARD
 Gibson is marvel in his ability to im- part fistic knowledge to a youngster. He took Leonard from thet"ham and'' class and transformed him into worlds cham pion, and perhaps the greatest 133- pound fighter of any era
 Benjamin has been schooled by Gibson in the same way as was Leonard. And. in addition, he had the benefit of almost daily bouts with Leonard, during which the champion taught his protege one thing after another. And Benjamin, an apt pupil, went out short time later and smashed his way to victory over some of the really clever lightweights in the east
 It was the same with Jack Dempsey. The youngster had wonderful talent, but knew nothing about the finer points of boxing. His rugged strength carried him
 
 ly had to take almost as much beating as the man he whipped.
 Dempsey, in disgust, actually quit the game three years ago. aKearns saw him working out one day, became aware of his inherited fistic powers and realized that with training Jack might become a world s champion. So he took him under his wing, and worked with him day after day. After Dempsey had learned some- thing about defense. about how to stand, how to hit. and the dozen and one other bits of knowledge necessary for a fight er's success, Kearns put him back into the ring.
 And Dempsey"s rise was meteoric
