Over at the rink Jack Leon and
Jimmy Kelly have arranged a card that
should be'a riot from bell to bell. They
may have to send for the reserves be-
fore the final, between Soldier Bart
field and Mike O'Dowd, former middle
weight. champion. Johnny Wilson, who
relieved Mike of his title and still
holds it, wired Kelly yesterday that he
would be at the ringside this evening
FOR the purpose Of challenging the
winner. This ought to add a touch Of
comedy to the affair.
Jimmy Kelly, who admits that he is
a personal friend of the unpopular
middleweight champ, said yesterday
that Johnny was gosh blamed tired of
campaign in which he expects to win
his way back into the good graces Of
the well-known public.
Jimmy says that if the New York
State Boxing Commission fails to lift
the ban it has placed upon Wilson and
his manager, Martin Kil)ilea, it would
still be possible to match him with
either O'Dowd or Bartfeld in Boston.
This seems somewhat doubtful mas
much as the boxing authorities of
Massachusetts, to say nothing of those
OF eight or ten other states, nave
barred Wilson and all his works until
he does some eloquent explaining in
regard to the contract he made and
broke with Tex Rickard, which called
for his appearance in Madison Square
Garden against Harry Greb.
Get Nowhere but in Wrong
The barriers in Wilson'S road to good
standing in this and other states are
not insurmountable, but neither Wilson
nor Kiililea seems to possess the diplo-
macy to get anywhere but in wrong
Either Bartfeld or O'Dowd would
probably welcome the opportunity to
swap blows with the middleweight IT,
tie holder, hut from where we sit II
rather looks as though Wilson will
find himself in the position Of having
to meet Harry Greb or nobody. There
seems to be little doubt that the con-
queror Of Tom Gibbons could make the
fniddleweight limit without weakening
himself.
To-night's O'Dowd- Bartfield row
should be one Of those nothing barred
but-thc- strange" affairs, the support
ers of each man being asked to check
their guns and brickbats at the door.
In his recent matches the venerable
Bartfield has evinccd n pleasing anxiety
to ruin his opponents as quickly 80

has instructions from McGraw to work
Causey, Ryan and Shea as much as pos
sible the first week, for he intends to
recall them to the first team a week
from Sunday in Dallas. These three
are not quite ready yet, and they will
get more work within the next week
than they would staying here with the
regulars. Causey is not fully over his
sunburn, but thinks his recently par
boiled countenance will be all right by
Sunday for renewed exposure to the
sun.
Casey Stengel is captain of this team
and takes the honor very seriously. He
is ticketed to go with it because he will
get to play every game.

THE CITY L A REPORT

Every citizen interested in the advancement OF Perth Amboy
bught to make it his and her business to read the preliminary
report of the. City Plan Commission recently submitted to the
Board Of Aldermen and which is published in full in the Evening
News today. When it is realized that the City Plan Commission
bad an appropriation of only $4,000 last year and some Of this
WAS used to pay off debts left over by the previous board for
(which the city has nothing to show, one can get some idea OF
what could be accomplished if the City Plan Commission were
kiysn ample funds to proceed with a real comprehensive plan for
Es city.
And the meaning Of such a plan is apparent. Everything
worth while has q plan these days. Haphazard growth leads
Epnly to trouble. Every city is suffering from the neglect OF
|kormer administrations in this particular. Now is the time to
remedy the fault before the city becomes any larger. In some
Progressive municipalities millions Of dollars are being spent to
Esorrect the mistakes that were made years ago when there was
no plan. Perth Amboy can see some of her mistakes already, but
Tn order to avoid making more for future generations to correct
st enormous expense, a plan ought to be adopted now so that
HE city will grow with the future always in view.
The careful study made by the expert engineers employed by
|lhe City Plan Commission is apparent as soon as one starts reading
|fhe report. It shows a wide knowledge of municipal affairs and
The experiences in other cities have been Invaluable in meeting
lome of the problems to be found here. Facts concerning Perth
that few realized before are brought out. The analysis
Is thorough as far as it goes, and it goes a great ways considering
the amount Of money that the commission had to spend on it.
For the first time in its history Perth Amboy has some definite
Knowledge about itself and some idea of what ought to be done
Along various lines for the rounding out and development of the
lty as a whole.
A city plan is something that is entirely up to the Board OF
Aldermen. Even though thousands of dollars are spent on a plan,
it remains for the aldermen to accept or reject it. But it is a
foregone conclusion that once a comprehensive plan for the devet
oprnent of the city is made it will be enthusiastically received
and will always be depended upon as a guide in the work yet to
be done. And by following such a plan year by year it will be
possible to see a consistent development, each department growing
IA its own way, and all working together for the benefit of all the
people.

GREEKS NOT DOING CREEK
DANCING AT ALL
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

land white sleeveless coat, and ON
of the men wea the full white
skirts and tight leggings of the ma
tional costume. They swing along
in a simple step, keeping time to
slow music. The leader waves a
handkerchief, and the rest of the
line follows along, dancing the same
around. These folk dances are said
to bear a faint resemblance to the
classic dances of Athens and Sparta,
but the resemblance is vague and
not Easy to trace.
The dances in honor of Athena,
Diana, Hera, Dionysius, and AphrI-
dite were performed as expressions
of deep religious feeling. In the
highest period of Hellenic culture
the dances were graceful. digniied.
and altogether artistic. 1t was only
as Greece degenerated that the
dances became abandoned.
The Greek folk dances are a far
cry from the wild Bacehanales that
the classic dance. If the folk dances
can be traced back at all 1t would
be to the dignihed professionals in
the groves of some calm and stately
deity.
Ancient Dances Described
Though diagrams and complete
descriptions of steps have not come
down to us, we can be fairly certain
Of some facts about the dances per-
formed by the dance-loving Greeks.
Homer, Plato, Hesiod and other
writer's described the dances, and
the rhythms of Greek poetry were
occasionally employed to indicate
the rhythms of a dance. In statues,
paintings and bas ~reliefs, Greek
artists depicted dancers in all sorts
of poses.
Dancing naturally played a large
part in the art of that time because
it played a prominent part in every
day life. The religious feeling o.
the Greeks was largely SO expressed.
Births and marriages were cele-
brated by dances, and at funerals
grief vas customarily shown by
suitable p~antomime.
Sculptured figures graphically
show us the sort of dancing APP
proved by the Greeks, and 1t rs
mainly to the work of the sculptors
have gone for their inspiration.
Studying the figures carefully,
they have discovered secrets OF
poise, muscular tension, balance and
| grace that characterized the Greeks
when they were at the height OF
physical perfection. A figure on tip
toe with draperies swinging to one
side and arms swung to the oppo-
site side might suggest to some of
us only a model posed by an artist
in a graceful attitude. One student
of dancing, Maurice Emmanuel.
finds that such a post represents
the end Of a twirl not unlike the
~pirouette of the ballet dancer.
By Analysing thousands of fig
ures of Greek art Monsieur EN-
manuel found that much of the bal
let technique was known to the
Greeks, though they performed the
steps in a freer, and far less techni-
cal style than the ~ballerina.
The dance experts agree that the
Greeks danced with the entire body
using the head, hands. arms, and
torso to express their meaning. AT
Grst, we are told, the dancers enact
ed their pantomimes very definitely,
They depicted their emotions AMI
thoughts so perfectly that the
dancer of today often finds the
highest possible self expression in
the poses that pleased Phidias 240O
years ago.
