WOLF is KILLED ON
Los ANGELES STREETS

Los Angeles. lee. PA big game
hunt within the city limits Of Los
Angeles was revealed when Albert
Barral made application to the coun-
ty game warden for boun'y on a
wild wolf he shot and killed while the
animal was prowling in the vicinity
of the new Los Angeles High School
building. The wolf measured four
and half feet from the tip of its
nose to the end of its tail and weigh
ed approximately 100 pounds.
The disappearance o, chickens,
dogs and other small animals from
homes in the vicinity led to the pur-
suit and killing of~the wolf.

DOUBLE POWER is
SEEN IN RUSSIA
Secret Service Is Declared More
Powerful Than Central
Government.

Moscow, Dec. 24.-Nineteen hun
bred and twenty-one has been a year
of diplomatic and economic battling
for soviet Russia. 1t brought the
abandonment of the government mo-
nopoly of domestic trading and grad
ual reversion to capitalistic methods,
tempered in such way as to prevent
dangerous splits in the small Com
munistic group which dominates the
government. But the trade for 1921
has been many times what II was in
1920, and the reopening of shops on
the old capitalistic basis has afforded
an opportunity to sell in legal way
manufactured articles which are in
great demand.
Hampered by the triple desire to
'establish trade relations with impor-
tant foreign powers, to protect the
Third Internationale, whose head
quarters are in Russia. and to hold
the Communistic party in Russia in
tact, Lenine and his associates were
in a precarious situation even before
the drought produced widespread
famine nthe Volga area.
Country Is Bare.
Krassine managed to negotiate
trade agreements with England, Ger
many and several minor powers, but
the foreign trade commissions which
came to Russia failed to find the
large supplies which Bolshevist lead
ers had heralded thruout tho world.
The concession plan which krass,ne
and his associates had devised lid not
appeal to foreign investors. Conf
dence was lacking. Old owners had no
desire to invest more money In facto-
ries which had been taken away from
them and other foreigners could not
be induced to take factories whose
title was elouded.
The Bolshevist government lacked
the gold necessary to buy bread and
could not find creditors. The govern
ment announced it would make inn
port and export business possible for
individuals and corporations, under
government control. This belated
statement came in October. Com
missions are working out customs
tariffs, and 1922 probably will see
far larger export and import trade If
the government makes good its pro-
mise to release its grip on foreign bu-
siness.

YALE COACH PICKS TWO VARSITY FIGHTS
 FOR PRELIMINARIES

Yales two varsity crews have been tentatively picked by Coach Guy Nick alls for their short races of the sea- son. Yale will meet the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Cornell and Princeton in events over either the two- mile course of the Henley distance of a mile and third, preliminary to the four-mle varsity eight race with liar yard.
 The makeup is as follows:
 irst eight-Stroke, Heminway; No. z Mali No. 6, Trowbridge; No. 5, Gib- son; No. 4, Martin; No. 5, Haldeman No. ?, Carman bow, Whitney; cox swain, Hadden.
 Second eight-Stroke, Cheney; Mo- 7, Dilworth; No. 6, McHenry; Mo- 5, Rockefeller; No. 4, Boocock; No. 5, Jenckese; No. ?, Robertson; bow,. Tag gart.
 The promotion of Barlow Heminway to the stroke seat of the regular shell, replacing Ward Cheney, was something of a surprise, but Trowbridge drives the men behind him harder and is securing better results for the short distances. He stroked the 150-pound crew last year, while Cheney set the pace for the second varsity eight
 The crew will remain in New Haven harbor until Easter week, when it will be transferred to the Housatonic river at Derby to train for the two races with University of Pennsylvania, April 16.

WEINER'S CARD LOOKS
 ALRIGHT IN PRINT BUT-.

"Ike' Weiner has announced that the card which he Is to stage at the Arena on the 18th of this month Is now com plete. The card will consist of 41 rounds and 1t will be featured by a 15- round go between Charley Pilkington of Meriden and Johnny Shugrue of Waterbury.
 Chick" Brown, the old time favorite, is also given chance to stage his come back on this card and is due to swap punches with Mickey Danse of Water bury. Chick" has been trying to have some promoter give him a trial for a long time and it all depends on the showing he makes against Mickey whether he gets on any other shows here or not
 George Proto, who won a decision over Joe Hall of Bridgeport in Music Hall at the Moose show, has been matched with Billy Prince, another Park City boy.
 The banning which like" received after the show he put on in this city last December which turned out to be an awful piece of cheese still holds first place in 'Ike's" thoughts and he is run ming this fight more with the object of squaring himself than for the financial end of 1t. The card is a good one as Pilkington is sure to bring big delega- tion down from Meriden and Shugrue is one of the most popular fighters who ever made Waterbury his home. It re- mains to be seen, however, whether Chick" Brown is the idol of old, etc, etc.

AGE OVERCOMES YOUTH
 IN FIERCE MAT COMBAT

If you are puzzled over the way that Dad" has been carrying himself the past few days you had better look up the sporting pages and you will dis cover the reason for it. Ever since last Tuesday all the old-timers are stepping around with chips on their shoulders and all because Stanley Zbyszko, the giant Pole, who Is somewhere i'll the neighborhood of 46 years old, succeeded in pinning Joe Stecher's shoulders to the mat after two hours and 16 minutes of a gruelling match.
 The match took place at the Seventy first Regiment Armory, New York City, last Monday evening, and those at the ringside marveled at the fine ex- hibition put Up by Zbyszko. While he was on the defensive most of the time his good work in extricating himself from the deadly scissors body hold which won the championship for times in the first hour of the match Stecher was successful in slipping this hold on the Pole but the latter made use of his enormous strength and was soon out of danger.
 About five minutes before the end of the bout Stecher succeeded i'll get ting another body hold after trying everything known to wrestlers, and Stanley, after getting out of this deadly grip, was caught in a double wrist lock. This time however, he broke the hold and in flash had Stecher caught in an fashioned crotch hold He picked him up bodily and threw him clear across the ring on his back and before Joe could make a move Zbyszko had him pinned to the floor.

Moose Bouts Best Euer,
 But Proue Financial F2iuuer

The Loyal Order of Moose made a big hit with the fans by the fine man ner in which the bouts were conducted at Music Hall last Saturday evening. It was without doubt the best balanced card which has been presented in New Haven in long time and while scientific fighting was entirely missing, there was plenty of the slam bang variety in all three bouts.
 Eddie O'Brien, the "Y" boxing in structor, who was prevailed upon to take the place of Mickey Doherty at the last minute, ran up against a snag in the opening bout with Collie Pleines, the Newhal1ville flash. Collie had the advantage of being in perfect condition for the battle, and this counted i'll his favor i'll the final round, where he had a decided advantage. The other five rounds were even.
 Joe Hall, the Bridgeport boy, who was the only outsider on the card, had a check put on his winning streak when he met George Proto of this city. Proto went right after Hall with the opening bell and had three rounds placed on his sidt of the ledger before Hall hit his stride. The fourth round was a pretty

Sports of All Kinds
 in Brief
Amatuer Track Stars
 Battle for U. 5. Honors
Athletic Union Carnival Attracts Big Entry List for Indoor Competition.

New York, March 18.-At the annual confab of the Amateur Athletic Union, held in New Orleans last year, Ca1ifor- nia delegates, in sweeping native born" into the presidential chair of the gov erning body of amateur sports, also grabbed off the 1921 outdoor track and States. The westerners, however, con- ceded the indoor classic to the East. Consequently one of the greatest col lections of athletes that ever competed here will be seen in action at the Twenty Regiment Armory to- morrow night.
 Almost every performer basking in the spotlight of fame at present has been attracted by the lure of national hOnOrs. The advance guard from the Pacific Coast and Middle West is ex- pected about Wednesday and after that the medal hunters will be coming III from all sections of the country right up until the day of the meet
 The collegiate entry list is particularly heavy, no less than il universities hay ing agreed to participate. In many in stances full teams for the relay race have been entered in addition to the regular entries. The following insti- tutlons will be in the running: Yale, Princeton, Lafayette, Penn State, Am herst, Dartmouth, Boston College, Holy Cross, Georgetown, Brown, and Brook 1yn College.
 As usual with the championship af- fair, the GOO and 1000 yard races have drawn such fine fields that a new rec ord i'll either Is expected. Jack Sellers, New York A. C.; Hal Cutbill, Boston College; Jim Connolly, Georgetown; Bob Crawford. Lafayette; Harvey Reed, Tom O'Rorke, E. w. Siemans and Long Tom Campbell, of Yale, will take part i'll one event or another T -Cutblll has forwarded his signed entry the Hub unless the condition of his re- gently injured foot warrants.
 Campbell will endeavor to make ath- letic history. He is determined to du- plicate the feat of Abel Kiviat, who won the 600 and 1000 yard events in 1912, and the program has been so ar ranged that the iron man" will have lots of rest between the two events.
 One race that appears certain to be purely a local affair Is the 30O-yard rum Bernie Wefers, jr., of the New York A. C.. Andy Kelly, the world record holder for the distance; Jimmy O'Brien ,Loughlin Lyceum, and Frank, Conway, of the Morningside A. C., are the best of large field. Unless the unexpected happens Wefers should win, with O'Brien second.
 The committee in charge of the meet has taken special precautions against the likelihood of any runner slipping while rounding a turn. The floor will be painted with a ''non-skid' prepara- tion, which, with ordinary care, will in sure equilibration even to the less sure footed contestants.
 Richmond Landon, of Yale, the O1ym- pic champion, heads the list in the high jump, and among the entries nj the field events are such stars as Walter Whelan, the present high jump title holder; Patrick Mcdonald, national shot-put and Olympic weight champion; Eddie Fines, metropolitan standing jump champion; Charles Halsey, of Prince ton, and Ralph Hills, member of the American Olympic team.

even affair with Hall having a distinct advantage i'll the next three. At the sound of the gong in the final round Proto jumped from his corner and started right after Hall and pasted the Park City boy with so many lefts and rights that Heck" Maher had to give him the decision.
 The main tilt of the evening. 10 round affair between Joe Currie and Mickey Travers, resulted in win for Travers. Currie was the top heavy favorite in this battle, and while some claim the worst that should be given was draw the majority of those pres ent are agreed that Heck" called the turn correctly when he gave Travers the decision.
 The show was the first ever staged bv the Moose, and with three evenly match ed bouts which were run off without the delays characteristic of most of these shows, the Moose came through with flying colors. Financially, however, the show was boomer. There is now no doubt that while Currie and Travers put up a good fight they are still pre- liminary fighters and are out of place as head-liners.

PORTO A SENSATION
 IN BOWLING TOURNAMENT

The A1gonquins, the Elm City entry in the pin toppling carnival which is be- ing conducted at Buffalo this month by the A. B. C., landed in 18th place in the fve-man event last Monday evening" Lindsey, the captain of the New Haven team, was a little bit off in form and fell below the double century mark i'll all of his games.
 If the Monk was in his usual good form the chances are that the local team would have been right up with the lead CTS, as Porto was working in fine form and turned Ill the best score he has ever made at one of these affairs. Lindsey's s best mark was 186 in the first game and he followed up with scores of 174 and 183.
 Porto started off with 203 score for the first game, but fell down to lo4 Ill the second. In the third game he came back strong with nine strikes and turned in the fine score of 267 making three string of 634.

EAST EXPECTED
 TO MEET WEST
 IN ROWING RACE
England, Too, May Send Cham pionship Crew Over for
 Regatta on Hudson.

Plans for the most ambitious rowing | season ever undertaken by Eastern col | lege crews have been virtually com pleted, and the next three months will | witness an unprecedented number of such contests. The details for the dual and triangular regattas, so far as dates and distances are concerned, have been we'll worked out, but the intercollegiate regatta, scheduled for Poughkeepsie, is still subject to possible changes.
 The season will open with a race be- tween the Universities of California and Washington on the Oakland Estu- is far outside the domain of Eastern collegiate rowing, the result will be watched with interest. It is generally understood that the winning varsity eight will journey East to compete, and the advent of Pacific Coast crews in Eastern waters adds touch of the pie turesque, giving intersectiOnal flavor and snap to the Hudson river regatta.
 Both the Washington and California shells this year will have about half their seats filled by veterans. Wash ington reports the return to school of four of last years eight, Captain Charles Logg, No. 7; Clarence Mag nusson, bow; Russel Nagler, coxswain j; and Louis Nederlee, No. 2. At Califor- mia four men, including Captain John Rogers, will be available, it is thought.
 Both Cornell University and the h. tercollegiate Rowing Association have extended invitations to the winner of the Oxford Cambridge regatta, to be held on the Thames, England, March 30, for either eight to cross the Atlantic and row here. A race between Cornell If +1, be an extremely interesting interna- t1onal contest, staged at Ithaca.
 Cornell, Pennsylvania, Syracuse and Poughl<eepsie for the intercollegiate championship over the three-rnile course A Pacific Coast college crew and Wisconsin are being tentatively counted upon as additional entries. There is also chance that the Navy may enter its world championship var sity, which Is likely to become a cer- tainty should one of the English crews decide to row on the Hudson.
 An intercollegiate regatta with such a far flung entry list would be a fitting climax to the coming season with its schedule of more than a dozen dual and triangular regattas ending with the Harvard-Yale classic at New London late in June
 The list of events as arranged at present follows:
 April o-Oakland, Calif, California vs. Washington.
 April 1o-Derby, Conn.,, Yale vs. Penn.
 April 3O-Derby, Conn, Yale vs. Co., lumbia.

ATLAS AND HARTFORD
 KACEY BATTLE TONIGHT

The Atlas announce the Hartford Kaceys as the attraction at Muisc Hall tonight. The Hartford Kaceys, it will be recalled, won the state Kacey cham pionship after going through the entire season without a defeat.
 After losing the first game of the post-season series with the Waterbury Kaceys the Capitol City boys turned in the best game ever seen i'll Hartford last Tuesday evening when they beat the Waterbury Knights by 21 to 20 score. From this it IS apparent that the Capitol City boys are coming stronger as the season draws to a close and the Atlas are liable to be surprised if they have the impression that they are in for some soft pickings.
 Besides the victories over the local kaceys the visitors have also beaten the local Moose in the only game in which these two teams have met.

 Derrill Pratt, obtained from New York, was to have played the position, but the latest word from him indicates he will not report. In the pinch Duffy has two likely candidates-C1ark Pit tinger, Canadian, and Cliff Leary, cap tain last year of the Pittsfe1d East ern League nine. Either will do, he
