ENGLISH FIGHTERS FAIL
TO- TRAIN OR KEEP FIT
BY David L. Blumenfeld,
United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Aug. G.--"What is the
matter with English boXers?" a man
asked me the other day.
Everything" l told him.
In the first place, the British boy
will not take. the trouble to keep
himself fit when out of training. He
has not learned to keep himself hard.
He may have beautiful left hand
with a nice little dig in it, his foot
work may be a treat to watch, his
blocking and countering all that they
ought to be, but he is not tough. Un-
like your American boys, he cannot
"chOp and come again. with man
who is packing real punches in his
mitts.
The average British boy starts his
career as a six-rounder in preliminary
contests at the London ring-in the
Blackfriars road, where he meets
with all sorts and sizes. He learns
to box, true enough, but he does not
learn to fight.
The British fan is too prone to
shout, "turn it up" whenever a box
er takes count as rest, the result
being that boy thinks he is hurt
when he is really shaken, and carr
gets a distaste for hard hitting.
Another thing! Too many British
boxers train on beer. They have
been brought up on it, and they are

FENESTATE CONVENTION
Commander Pegelow of Local
Post Elected National Dele
gate From Sixth District

After having enjoyed three days of
the state convention Of the Ameri-
can Legion at Winona the fore part
of the week, practically all of Be-
midji's delegation has returned to
the city. Three wandering dele
gates" returned by automobile Fri
day evening after escorting the
fourth delegate to Red Wing where
he will spend a vacation OF a few
days before returning to Bemidji.
The alternates, with the exception of
B.. IL Johnson, returned Friday morn
ing.
- All report an exceptionally enjoy
able convention and comment highly
concerning the entertainment fea-
lures. The report of the delegation
will" be made to the local post at it's
next regular meeting next Thursday
evening, and it is urged that there
be large attendance since a num-
Der Of important issues are expected
to be discussed at that time.
Commander C. L. Pegelow, who
headed the delegation, was elected as
one of the three delegates from the
Sixth district to attend the national
convention to- be held at Kansas City
in October. He states that he will
attend. Fred Miller of Pine River
and Peter. Wyrens of St. Cloud are
the other delegates. The alternates
elected were Joyce Lewis of Long
Prairie, DR.. Saunders of Wadena,
and Nahum of Brainerd.
~ A temporary district organization
was formed while the district was in
caucus at the convention and a per-
manent organization will be formed
at a meeting of the district, which
will be held at Brainerd within the
next 60 days. Howe, one of Be-
midji's delegates, was elected tenn
porary treasurer for the district, and
B. l.. Johnson, alternate, was elected
temporarily to the executive commit
tee for the Sixth district. Joyce Lew
is of Long Prairie was elected tenn
porary chairman.
The need of district organization
has long been felt and it is believed
that this action will increase inter-
est in Legion activities in this section
of the state, although the Sixth dis
trict has always rated well in the
state organization.

DlD:LL0YD GEORGE ASK
.'"' D DISARMAMENT MEETING?
This Question Is Now Being
Debated Freely in London
BY Those Interested
(Ry limited PreSs)

London, Aug. 6.--Who initiated
the pending Washington disarmament
and Pacific conference? President
Harding or Lloyd George?
This is problem which is being
very freely debated here, and one
which is likely to prove a contentious
subject for future historians.
The average member of the British
public doesn't vastly care either way,
hut he readily comedies that Lloyd
George, with characteristic "Welsh
Wizardry" and acumen, has managed
to get in first and rake off in advance
a good share Of any credit which may
accrue to the promoters-without,
however, incurring MUCH blame if
things fall through.
Disinterested officialdom say that
the question can only be honestly an
swered by. the select few who thor
oughly understand the inner meaning
of the little diplomatic juggle with
the staid pages of "Hansard"-the
British parliamentary official record
"a few weeks ago.
July 7, Lloyd George, rising in the
house of commons, to answer HARM
less-looking question about the An
glo-Japanese treaty, said that he
hoped to make a full statement on
the following Monday July ~, but
that it would depend upon "replies
received from the United States, Jap
an and China" This was the YER
sion given by every reporter in the
press gallery of the house of COM
mons. There were few differences
in the actual wording, some papers
saying: "United States and JAPAN"
others only quoting 20 ited States
and China" while the majority in
cluded all three countries.
"Hansard's" report is never pub
lished until the following day, as the
house Of commons deos not rise I'M
til II p. M, and very often sits into
the early hours OF the morning. But
meanwhile, energetic American cor
respondents had cabled this quotation
energetic colleagues in Washington
had been round to the state depart
ment to find c;,t about the presumed
mote" to which the British premier
was evidently expecting reply.
