ALBANIAN CHANGES
SUBJECT Of EXPOSE
information Bureau Looks
for Ultimate Independ-
ence of Nation.

In paper entitled Expose on the
Present Conditions in Albania, the
Albanian information bureau calls at
tcntion to those advocates of the
recognition Of the Albanian state on
the part of the United States govern
ment to the spectacular, "ges that
that country within a. few months.
which, according to the bureau. Will
end in the ultimate independence OF
the young nation.
Contra sting present conditions with
those of a year ago. when the wide
spread belief. not to say conviction,
was that the prospect of an indie
pendent Albania was very pre-
carious one. the paper lays stress on
the fact that the peace conference. or
council, has practically held its hands
off of Albanian affairs, to the benefit
of the little nation.
1t calls attention to the revulsion
place in high French circles as evil
donced by the action of the French
military authorities in turning over
to the Albanian government the vital
provinces OF Scutari and Koritza in
May, 1920 which she was formerly
ling them to Serbia and Greece, re-
spectively.
Spectacular Event.
But the most strikingly spectacular
event. says the paper, was the
early in June last and lasted until
bout the end of July, with COM
plete triumph for Albania"
The paper claims that Italy the very
power that was fatally in the way OF
the realization of the independence
and national unity of Albania. was
compelled to not only give up all its
claims which the peace conference
had acknowledged to her, such as the
question of the protectorate and the
perpetual possession of Nalona. but
she also now has become, by the
clauses of the Italian-Al Albanian agree
| ment signed at Tirana on the I'd Of
August last. the guarantor of those
two essential attributes of sovereign
ty over the young state of Albania.
with the result that there exists now
| the most cordial relations between the
two countries.
1t is thus pointed out that Albania
won recognition of her statehood by
the power that was most bitterly OPP
posed to it only a few months ago.
The paper further claims that the
successful termination of the conflict
with Italy had also the salutary eff
! feet of SOLDERING the claims of the
Serbs and Greeks, to the extent that
they were induced to find a modus
vivendi with Albania, in consequence
of which the question of conflicting
claims between these two countries
and Albania is no longer a cause for
direct strife. the agreement being that
the issues are to be passed upon by
the peace conference instead Of re-
| sorting to hand-to-hand struggle.
I'm this manner" continues the paper
Albania is actually in peace with Ter
neighbors and the program of the AL
bantam government is to have that
| peace reign forever. SO far as it CON

FLEMING IS VICTOR,
BUT NOBODY CARES
Referee Crimson Is More Ag.
gressive Than Both Boxers
in Star Bout at Olympia
BY LOUIS IL. JAFFE


Lou Crimson tried to make fight
of 1t, but Lou wasn't eligible to use
his hands to do SO because he was
only the referee. However, that didn't
stop Referee Crimson from lashing his
tongue in "egging'' the boys on, as
they say in the best of fistic circles, all
of which proved to no avail.
Jimmy Socco couldn't fight much
and frankie Fleming wouldn't fight,
much, so there wasn't much of fight.
Hence another decision was iotted down
against the P. o. p. which is abbre

II a verdict must be rendered, then
Fleming, who halls from somewhere in

a lot of punches, but the wallops were
steamless. Not an Intoxicating punch
found lodgment on either performer,
and the fans left the arena after eight
cen minutes of edgeless, spiritless and
souseless enthusiasm. In fact, some OF
the spectators decided that a pleasant
time was not to be had, so they started
to vacate their chairs as early as the
third round.
Crimson the Aggressor
For five rounds Crimson was the ag
gressor. He was on top Of the boxers
continually, leading with 'Come on,
boys; little more action" then cross
ing with "Step around fight Bit
uppercutting with punch. don't
ciinch." and near the end of the round
Lou finished up with Rally. rally
rally" But neither Socco nor Fleming
did everything else imaginable.
In the sixth session Socco came out
of his corner bent on socking Fleming
for a goal, but he was only bent on
doing so. He didn't. Fleming socked
Socco in the stomach couple of times
and Jimmy was content to resume his
unfascinated fashion of the preceding
rounds.
Fleming is a good fighter--he has
proved that on previous occasions. But
nobody would admit it or believe it last
;ght.
Murphy Shows Well
The feature of last nights show was
Jimmy Murphy's victory over Johnny
Drummie, Of Jersey City. Murph
finally found himself and he carried al
most every round. Jim was the ag
gressor throughout, landed the harder
and more often punches, had Drum

clinching tactics this contest, too, was
somewhat listless. still Murphy's will

to the match.
In the sixth round Drummie suffered
severe cash over his left eye. This
wound was caused when the boxers

earn his living this way, and his pep
Immediately descended to an extremely
low ebb.
He was an amateur at heart He

are few chances to loaf and stick.
Sport and Business
TNHE main art in business is to get
l. the money. If you don't get the
money you are not going to be heralded
as any business marvel.
| The foundation of sport is love for
the game, not collecting the dollars.
Yet the man in sport who makes his
living from it is naturally going to col
lect all he can, being human.
If he doesn't get it he knows some
one is capitalizing his skill, and this
doesn't leave him any too happy.
And yet when he begins to collect II
in chunks the game itself begins to fade
away back of a rampant OF gold ana
silver.
He either vans to brotect his valu-
and arms, and the old daredevil, take
a chance style OF play is gone.
No Simple Proposition
ITO SOLVE this peculiar problem is
l. no part Of simple affair.
AS long as big money is coming in the
athlete deserves his share. But how to
preserve this award and at the same
time to keep the old keenness under way
is a detail that hasn't been settled yet.
You may recall how Dempsey, before
he whipped Willard, was to fight every
other afternoon, to hear Jack Kearns
explain it,.
Another July is rolling in upon us
and Dempsey hasn't put on glove yet
not with title that is making him
fortune every other month and no risk
attached.
MONEY also is one of the greatest
1f4 little scandal starters that the world
so far invented. No matter how very
much on the level a game may be, the
flash of unlimited bullion soon opens up
faint whisperings that are no help to
any sport.
MOST of these whisperings, the ma
AV1 jor bulk of them by SO per cent, are
unfounded. But for all that they are
no particular help.
This reference to the growing tend
ency toward high finance applies only
to the competitive end of the game. 1t
is a natural growth with so many mil
lions clamoring for admission to the
scene Of battle. whatever the price.
But it is growth that must be watched
for the lasting good of any game.

In the present epoch a champion such

His title was big money asset that

The Basis of Sport
THE basis of all sport, whether ANA

When this love of sport and this
keenness for competition is over

keenness departs.

ago that the morale of his ball club
