There was no danger of the Celtics
losing their signals last night for
they used none. At least that is what
the Rabbit swears happened. The
champions were perfectly drilled.
They not only played a superb pass

defensive play that kept the visitors
at the half-way mark all during the
second period.
Mike Smolick starred in the FIRST
period for the Celtics. He broke
through repeatedly and Gagged four OF

In Jesey-and thon retired TO let Tex

ONCE then the club has had many
y disappointment TO weather and
has had TO be content to rest on
It's oars, as II were.
Now, with something absolutely
necessary 70 put the club back in the
limelight, this congress idea was set
In motion. II has taken months to
bring 1t TO q head with this weeks
meeting. All kinds Of boxing reforms
are promised again, just as they we're
when the Army and Navy and Civil
ian Board was organized, and the In
ternationals are behind them all now
as then.
The big club, it seems. shows the
way--a good way too-to others and
then stops right there. Lessons Of the
past should have taught 1t, by this
lme, to spread the authority, TO let
some one else assume the management
OF such affairs while it sits back
among the common folks who have
shown just as much knowledge OF
boxing and It's conduct as the Inter
nationals have injected into the game.
Let the congress be organized, by
all means, and permit the Army and
Navy thing to die gracefully as II
deserves. II never has figured TO any
extent 80 far in boxing anyhow.
The International Club should not
attempt 10 absorb all the limelight of
the occasion before 1t has proven its
ability 70 do the big things" II has
been promising for ever so long. Din
ners, which have been the club s
favorfte method OF attracting atten-

they haven't helped boxing as far as
we can see. Let us have fewer din
ners and their accompanying speeches
and more action or the good old sport
OF boxing will ind itself in the posi-
ton of having been talked to death.

President Byron Bancroft johnson Of

announcing that the American League

Dates for Big. Events Largely
Depends on the Davis
Cup Plans.

Two months of international lawn
tennis upon American courts is in
store for the followers Of the game
during the coming season. Members
of the Schedule Committee Of the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton, under the direction of Julian s.
MyriclS, President, have framed rec
concentrations to be offered at the
annual meeting next mont.
The object ,of theF work has been
to avoid conflict and congestion due
to Davis Cup matches and to estab-
lish the All-Comers' National Cham
plonship singles as the climax Of the
season.
The remarkable feature Of the plan
offered for adoption is that II directly
favors the turf of the German town
Cricket Club, Philadelphia, for the All
Corners singles. Furthermore, II
names the date as Sept. II, which is
startling, and some regard as revolu-
tionary in being practically a fun
