Jack MlIr,rOe Was
Cinch for JefrieS'
Going Out in I'd

Sandwiched in between those two
famous examples of lopsidedness-the
David Goliath and Dempsey Willard
encounters-wasa another short and un-
even battle in which James J. Jcffries
whipped Jack Munroe, Munroc aspired
to become heavyweight champion In
1904, but when he was pittcd against
Jeffries the aspiration appeared to be
his strongest claim TO q chance at tho
honor.
Early in the second round the referee
thought Munroc had learned his lesson
and held up Jcffrics' palm.
The fighters met in San Francisco on
August 26. Munroe defended himself
for few seconds by raising his gloves
above his head. He made several
rushes, but they fell short Of their OBJ
jechve. Jeffries then knocked him down
for six counts.
Rising. Munroe's stomach collided
with a left punch and again he
went down, remaining there for seven
counts. As soon as he got up, Jeffries
settled on his launches, his head wob-
bly,. but arose before the last count. He
clinched and the bell saved him.
The second round had no sooner
opened than he fell once more with a
new sore spot. Even then he could not
break himself of the habit Of coming
back for more. This time Jeffries
stabbed his left into Munroe's weary
ribs, and the challenger draped himself
over the champions arm. Then the
referee called a halt.

London, England, June IA.

A DUAL meet between Oxford Gam
"A bridge and Harvard Yale Is always
sentimentally a fine sporting event,
since the four big universities repre-
scnt the aristocracy Of age and long
service on both sides Of the Atlantic,
each Of its own realm.
There are two other big universities
hack home ready to claim that this
meeting doesn't mean any American
British college championship on track
and field.
II isn't intended as such. Where the
preponderance Of collegiate numbers Is
20 vastly greater In America, only =
dual meet Of this sort could offer any
chance for an even tourney or for an
even shot at an even break.
British Strength
Yale and Harvard will fnd the Brit
ish track and field entries weakest In
the field.
They have yet over here to develop
weight men with the knack to COM
pete with our best. They have yet to
develop high jumpers able to touch
such stars as Beeson, HORNE or Ian
don, Of Yale. It isn't all a matter Of
sheer physical power in weight tossing,
including both hammer and shot. The
knack has never quite come their way.
But where Oxford and Cambridge
will be strongest is along the track,
from the short sprint to the three mile
run. II Is here that the two English
universities will be worthy competitors,
possible II not probable winners.

JOE TIRES NEAR FINAL
BY LOUIS II. JAFFE

ClcrerncTs vs.. rugEcdneSs was the
fistic debate between Battling I.eonard
aud 10" Nelson at the Eleventh Street
Arena last night. and the former was a
winner. For six rounds the pair went
along evenly, first one and then the
other holding slight lead, but in the
seventh and eighth sessions Bats clever
ness served him in good stead. md he
finished UP with sufficient speed to win
by narrow margin.
From tho outset Nelson fought q
rushing battle, backing Leonard against
the ropes and driving with both hands
to the Battlcr's head and body. Leon
ard. however. always came back before
the finish of the round and his straight
left jabs and right crosses evened up
matters.
After the fast pace set by Nelson for
six rounds he went tired in the last two
md this enabled Leonard 10 come
through with a squirt that won the con
test for him.
Joey Wallace. brother of Patsy. sub
stituted for Benny Bass and lost by
shade to Little Bear. II was a Cruel
ing contest for the entire distance of
six rounds.
Charley Walters stopped Ray
Benckert in the fourth round. The
latter was dropped three times before
the final knockdown. when Referee
Harry Gross used good Judgment In
stopping the contest.
Eddie Dempsey shaded Eddie Foley
in tough tussle, both men connecting
with terrific smashes to head and body.
Dempsey finished up the stronger.
Jack Cullen suffered deep cash over
bis right eye ae q result Of butt in
his bout with Johnny O'Neil in the
second round, and the bout was stopped.

AID DISARMAMENT
Declares World Cries for Agree
ment and America Should
Take Initiative
OPPOSES ACTING ALONE
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 21.-Staggering
burdens of taxation resulting from the
world war have caused the peoples OF
oil nations to favor a world agreement
on disarmament. Henry White. former
ambassador to France and member OF
the American peace commission TO Paris.
declared today before the House naval
affairs committee.
II think the world Is crying for some
agreement" said Mr. White, but I do
not favor the United States being the
only nation to disnrm.'
The United States, he added, should
take the initiative in the disarmament
movement and the conference should bc
held in this country. Any gathering
looking to general disarmament should
include France and italy as well as the
United States, Great Britain and japan,
the former ambassador said. but Hs.
cussion looking to reduction OF naval
building only should be limited, for the
present at least. to Great Britain, japan
and the United States.
Wouldn't Invite All Nations
"I think II would result in chaos II
oil nations of the world were to b
represented at the proposed confer.
ence," said Mr.. White.
Would not general disarmament
open the way to bolshevism throughout
Europe?" asked Representative Brit
ten.
IL think France might feel tha'
way /" said the witness. The keepinl
of Germany In state OF chaos ovel
reparations Is opening the way 4
bolshevism more than any other factol
right now, In my opinion. The presen
condition of Germany makes boishevisn
n menace
Mr.. White said Il would not be ad'
visable to issue the call for the proposed
conference until after March 4, becaus'
call by President Wilson might no
be, treated seriously because he is tn
retiring President.
No Objection 70 NAVAL Holiday"
"The general impression got abroa'
was that all nations desire to reduc
their military establishments, Mr.
White continued, adding that he saw NJ
objection to a naval holiday Will
disarmament was being discussed
II should like to see the United State
equal to any nation in sea power whel
the reduction started" Mr.. White said
but questions might be raised at tn
conference that would show the righ

others, Great Britain, for instance.
