PAP|N COMES
TO CAPITAL
European Lightweight Cham
pion Is Due to Visit WASH
ingtOn Today.
by LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Georges Papin, lightweight cham
pion of Europe, is expected to arrive
In Washington today for brief visit
before going over to Baltimore,
where on Thursday night he enters
the ring at the Fifth Regiment
armory to face Knockout" George
CLANCY in the feature twelve-round
battle OF the National A. G. show.
Papin has never been in Washing
ton and he wants to see the National
Capital before losing an opportunity.
Papin is sparring partner for
Georges Carpenter, challenger Of
Jack Dempsey for the worlds heavy
weight title, and also for little
Charlie Ledoux, European bantam
champion. Thus, in one stable, Fran
co.'s Descamps has three titleholders.
, Though he speaks no Englis Papin
will be introduced to some of Wash
ington's leading sportsmen during his
brief stay here and big crowd OF
fans from the Capital are expected
to make the trip over to the Monu-
mental City to see him tackle the
knockout king, George CLANCY.
KANSAS GETS A BOUT.
, Chick Kansas, who disposed Of
Shorty Mccain at Fort Myer Saturday
in right handy fashion, has been
signed up to face George Sirey, the
little New Orleans featherweight
now making Washington his home.
They are to go six rounds. From
what both have shown in this sec
lion this bout should be a hummer,
as both boys have speed and hitting
ability with both hands.
, A peculiar inter-city complexion
has been given the National A. G.
show. Aside from the main bout
between CLANCY and Papin. every
other contest finds one Washington
boxer in the ring. Young Bowen,
quite the classiest lightweight in
this section in many a day, will go
six rounds with Joe CLANCY, George
Chaneys younger brother.
George Myers, of Washington. Is
down for a six-round contest with
Joe Price, of Baltimore.
John L.. "Hardboiled" Smith, of
Walter Reed, will open the show
in six-round contest against
Young Herman Miller, of Baltimore.
Tickets have been placed on sale
at popular prices at Miller's, under

French Ring Champion Here---BaSketball Seas
BRITTON SHOULD
MAKE HIT

English boxing followers
should like Welterweight
Champion Jack Britton when
they get their first glimpse Of
him in his bout with Ted Lewis
in London February 10. Con-
sidering his age and long years
of service, Britton is the most
remarkable of the present set
of champions, but he never has
been a great drawing card in
this country. Over in England
the clever, harmless boxers are
all the rage and Britton is sure
to make a great impression. At
present English fans think
that Lewis is invincible, but
they probably will change their
minds after old Jack gets
through with him.

BACK BY WEATHER.

Washington, April 21.-Generally
unfavorable weather impeded prog
ress of the new cotton crop during
the past week, only the Eastern
states of the belt having conditions
favorable to planting, the weekly
crop bulletin of the Weather Bureau
today showed.
Planting has become general
throughout Georgia and much of the
cotton is up and being chopped, the
report said, but this work was ham
pered in the central portions of the
belt due to heavy rains. The Pied
mont section of South Carolina was
the hardest hit by the recent cold
snap, although the plants are show
ing up pretty well. The report show
ed the recent frosts would necessitate
re-planting in Louisiana and Arkan-
sas.
