FRANCE ACCEPTS

for the full naval committee of the
conference, called to meet this Thurs
day. The sub committee did break
it's silence sufficiently, however. to
publish the messages exchanged by
Secretary Hughes and Premier
BRAND, which led up to the action of
the French delegation. The messages
were read and discussed by the sub
committee, but the official COM
munique disclosed no more than the
texts of the cablegrams.
The premier's message showed
that reservations attached to &C
ceptance of the 175,000 capital ship
tonnage had 20 do with light cruiS-
ers, torpedo boats and submarines"
This has served to bring the confer
ence to a standstill until the sub
marine issue can be solved when the
ive-power capital ship agreement
will be completed automatically. 1t
is assumed the full naval committee
was called to lay out a program for
the discussion of submarines and
anti submarine craft, as the two are
interviewer in French and British
opinion.
This implies that the auxiliary
craft elements of the American plan
must be shaped into agreement be-
fore the conference committees can
return to ratify the capital ship
agreement.
A direct step toward bringing up
the submarine issue in it's first phase
tI,o d.; tel, IN oh Itch c1,l,
mersible war craft entire-was taken
during the day. The British delega-
ton asked that n plenary session of
the conference be called to permit
presentation of their case against
submarines. Probably such session
will be held during the week, al
though a date had not been an
nounced tonight.
AT such an open session Lord Lee
for the British government, will set
out in detail the technical and other
reasons why the British believe that
submarines should be banned blythe
world as naval weapons. He will
read his statement, it is understood,
great care having been taken in its
preparation. But there are indications
that even in that statement, the
British will show lack of conviction
that the conference will share the
British view on submarines. 1t will,
it is understood, set out also the sec
ondary British proposal that If sub
marines are to be retained, the tom
mage allotments of each power be cut
far below the existing strength prin-
ciple of the American proposals.
There is also Il suggestion in Brit
ish quarters that should neither of
these views on submarines prevail,

HERE'S A REAL "ONCE over"
OF THE 1921 BOXING SEASON

I Benny Leonard. expert fish throw
er of the lightweights, got into some
trouble at the outset of the year,
when in bout with Richie Mitchell,
from out Milwaukee way, he got
careless or something in the second
round and let Richie bid high to the
jaw with right. He was very much
taken aback but realized that he was
a business man and retained the
title with hard right in the sixth.
The auctioneer told Richie that his
bidding was getting weak and he'd
better stop. Richie obeyed. Later
Leonard engaged in IL rounds of
punching with a rugged Itaiian.-
Rocky Kansas by name--and won.
Leonard has not been engaged in
any other important deals, but he
entertained Sailor Friedman of Chi
cago in Philadelphia recently and ex-
hibited in this town with a welter,
George Ward of New Jersey.
The middleweight king, Johnny
Wilson has had several bouts. Out
in Cleveland he engaged Bryan
Downey, an awkward, but hard
puncher, and after being floored sew
eral times was awarded the bout on
an alleged foul, whereupon loud hula

world. Downey claimed he had won
by knockout-Wilson claimed he
had been fouled, and they decided to
try again.
The result was an uninteresting
o-decision affair in Jersey City.
Georges Carpenter. the smiling
Frenchman, whose cheerful manner
| and fighting qualities won for him a
snug place in the hearts of American
| sports lovers, held the light, heavy
weight championship. won in 1920
: from Battling Levinsky in four
! rounds, but he essayed to become the
heavyweight titleholder as well and
found the bidding of Jack Dempsey
too high.
This bout, in which Dempsey
knocked out the Frenchman in the
fourth round, was the biggest event
of the year. The stakes were high
and the Frenchman bid his all in the
second round. He attempted to carry
on through nerve alone, but the eff
fort was not enough.
Dempsey will observe New Years
by looking for a real good opponent.
Some say that Harry Wills is the
most logical man for the task and
think that he can whip Dempsey.
Others believe that Jess Willard is
the man best equipped to dethrone
the champion.

New York. Dec. 20-(By A. Pr
In the squared circle realm Of pugi-
lism, where titles are knocked down
to traders with the hardest or the
truest punches, business was brisk in
1921.
There were many bidders for the

million punches, more or less, were
offered by a group Of traders well
known to the sporting public. Irish

'em judges-as the better of the two.
Peter, however, went to sleep one
night in the market at Madison
Square Garden and Johnny Buff, a
jaunty little Jerseyite, outbid him.
Johnny let Jack Sharkey, another
New York boy, into the bidding
later, but he protected his title
handily.
Then Buff went out to Milwaukee,
where there aren't any auctioneers,
| and it's only the hard punches that
will take a title. He met Pal Moore
| of Memphis, Chicago and other
places, and while Pal offered more
punches and of better quality, ac-
| cording to some of the witnesses, he
couldn't find a real hard one in his
store. Buff came back with the
| crown.
| Not so long ago there was a new
| title placed in the market-one for
13o-pounders or junior lightweights.
Upon the scene came one Johnny

was given his Scottish name in one

months ago with a boy named Dan
