Boxing Pointers

NDOC Amy, bQStOu Ipsij
Followers Of f1sticuffs often have
seen A referee assist boxer who has
got mixed up with the ropes by either
stepping between him and his Oppo-
nents or else lifting a rope or other
wise help him disentangle himself. 1t
is 4 move commended by the fans as
a mark of good craftsmanship and
will so stand. but as regards the act
itself, the referee is acting without
authority and lacks A rule in the code
to sustain him. As matter of fact,
the third man in meddling on the oc-
casions noted. is taking a hand in the
contest which lie has no right to do.
1t is strictly up to the ringster who
gets into the ropes to get out again,
and. the moment referee interferes.
he is INDEPENDENTLY assisting one
boxer against the other.
BY students of the sport ii is an ac-
cspted rule of long standing that
ringsters feet planted on the canvas
keep him in the fight. except during
the rest intervals between rounds.
and being in the fight is the subject
for attack whether his head happens
to be outside the ropes or not. 1t ID
not up to an opponent TO look out for
the other mans head, neither IN the
referee called upon to mix in. The
referee is in the ring to see that the
rules are enforced and the spirit of
the rules calls upon a ringster to de-
fend himself at all times AS stated.
good workmanship prompts the
third man to interfere. ami referees
probably will keep on doing 80.
though contrary to Hoyle.

charges by Robert b. Allen of Seattle,
speaking for the West Coast LUMBER
Manufacturers Association, that "a
Canadian lobby" in Washington was

AGAINST the proposed duty OF 81 cents
thousand on shingles and the pro-
vision of the Fordney bill giving the
President authority to impose a dutv
on lumber if countries now taxing
American lumber imports decline 10
remove that tax.
Mr.. Allen supported these provi-
visions while they We're opposed by
Donald D. Conn of Minneapolis for

Northwestern Lumbermen's Associa-
tion. and other witnesses. Mr.. Conn.
referring to Mr.. Aliens charges said
he was unaware that there was "a
Canadian lobby" in Washington and
that n there was one. Il am it." He
added, however, that the Canadian
holdings of the interests for which he
smoke were very small as compared
to their American holdings.
A duty of 10 cents a pound on but

cents with a corresponding tax on

The question of leaving small
representation of American soldiers
indefinitely with the allied armies Of
occupation in Germany has not yet
been decided, it was said today at the

added, the number would be small.
American troops from the army on

The United States has not as vet
received any money from Germany In
payment for the costs or the occupa-

by the German government covering
the expenditures and the amount
stands as an obligation which the
United States may expect to collect

NAVAL ARMAMENT
CONFERENCE
PRACTICALLY AT END

Washington, Dec. 5o.-(By A. ~
The Arms conference has virtually
reached the end OF its efforts to put
a curb on naval ornaments.
The the capital ship settlement was
added today an agreement for limita-
ton of future tonnage in airplane
carriers and then the naval commit
tee adjourned indefinitely but prop
ably only. until next week, leaving
determination of various problems OF
detail to a subcommittee of experts.
Some sort of declaration With re-
gard to use of the submarine. ana
an agreement not to construct any
auxiliary vessel hereafter vita
tonnage of more than 10000 are eX-
pected also to be added to the accom-
plishments Of the conference before
the final curtain is rung down. A
five power treaty embodying all the
points on which there is agreement
now is in process of drafting.
There are growing indications too,
that the four power treaty to pre-
serve peace in the Pacific, which al
ready has been signed will be in
some way further clarified before the
conference ends. The American del
egation is understood to have with
drawn any objection to the japanese
proposal that the treaty's scope W.
defined as not including the major
japanese islands and the plan for an
exchange of clarifying notes or for
amendment of the treaty text is ex-
pected to take definite form within
few days.
What is to be done about the far
eastern problems now becomes the
unanswered question of the confer
cnce. Japan and China are dead
locked in their efforts at a separate
settlement If the Shantung contro-
versy, and as q consequence all the
other Far Eastern discussions are at
standstill. 1t was indicated tonight
that a meeting Of the Far Eastern
committee would be held next week
at which China would attempt TO
transfer the Shantung negotiations
into the full conference.
Today's agreement on airplane car
riers, a type Of ship which still in
the experimental stage, was reached
quickly by the naval committee af-
ter the American delegation had
modified it's limitation proposal to
conform to the figures which the sew
eral powers presented as represent
ing their individual desires. Under
the agreement the United States is
to have $4,000 tons in airplane car
riers, Great Britain 1880 tons, ia
pan $1,000; France 10000, and Italy
&C. 900 tons. The previous American
plan would have given the United
States 10000 tons, Great Britain So
600 tons. Japan $4,000 tons. France
$4,000 tons and Italy $4,000 tons.
In addition it was agreed that no
single carrier of more than $1,000
tons should be constructed and that
none should carry guns Of greater
than eight inch calibre. 1t was indi-
Gated during the discussions that the
United States and Great Britain each
would build five carriers. Japan three,
France three. and Italy two. all pres-
ent tonnage in the carrier class to he
considered experimental and not fall
ing within the new limitation.
