and that the majority Of the pelts

northern Manitoba will produce con-
siderabiy Oyer a million dollars worth
Of fur this season.

when there Is a fine slide already up.
They do not understand why skating
tournaments cannot be. arranged
moro frequently OF why snow-shoc
clubs are not organized.
There does not seem 10 be any log

il a lack Of interest on the part OF the
citizens. Naturally Il sport must nave

Oh the goth, to settle the dispute that

Stokes will beat Bailey. He may try
to match Stokes and Lambert again.
Chuck Lambert Of ST.. Paul, gained a
shade over Stokes Monday night and
the hattie was a whirlwind.
He also believes that Leroy will
be we'll received here again. The
little Fargo whirlwind has appeared
Mn the ring at Grand Forks a number

their moneys worth. A All opponent
he has in mia Lyle Groves of St.
Paul, who Is under the management
Of Mike McNulty: This boy has a
very favorable record.
For aAfurtain raiser he believes that
an cighttround bout between Pal Dun
can and kid" Miller would be a win
ner. They arc both local lads and
would provide the local interest that
tsi needed on every card. No fan who
witnessed the last performance Of
Duncan would need to be urged to see
him 60 again. He has been train
ing constantly and is growing heavier
and huskier. Miller made a fine APP
pearance at Fargo, although up
against a tough inexperienced man,
which every fighter breads more or
less, as they never know what to ex-
pect.
Purcell will begin Va. once to line
up his card. which he hopes will prove
the best n that has yet been staged.

The Associated Press

New York, Jan. 4.-Sport, both am
ateur and professional. will reach a
plane Of popularity during 1922 never
touched in the past, according to the
expressed opinions of athletic leaders
or the, eve of the new year. Regardless
Of the ~outpouring Of millions of spec
tatorsSand contestant IT. in the games of
the. past IL months it is the unani-
nous belief of those best qualified to
Suage, the development OF sport. that
the coming season will witness new
records ina interest. participation. and
attendance:
That these opinions are based upon
substantial grounds is shown by the
RAPIDLY increasing list of important
contests. both intersectional, national
and International, which are being
added to the 1922 sport schedules. In
.ternational tennis, golf, yachting and
track meets are already in the max
ing; numerous i~ntersectional football
games .haye been carded and there
will be a wider increase in entries for
various national championships, both
numerically ard geographically. Ahan
in the past.
From all sections Of the nation
comes the report hat interest in sport
is steadily: growing; the formation of
new AhtSI oCItOld5tlC anu IColle ltilt
associations; wider participation in
games; the development. physically. Of
the youth of the land and the belief
that sport in the broadcast applica-
ton Of the word. viii be Il growing
factor in the history OF America for
decades to come. These reports are
borne out in. the following forecasts
and analyses prepared by prominent
sport authorities for The Associated
Press: % \
t. In considering the prospects for an
exceptionally active year in tennis
during 1922 Julian S. Myrick. presi-
dent of the United States Lawn Tennis
association says:
IT attribute the unprecedented pop
ulnrity OF tennis and sport in general
during 1891, TO the increasing realiza-
ton by the. public that physical exer-
else mean improved health, more
pleasure in living and a chance to live
longer. From every source where
statistics are available it is heins
pointed out that during the last de
cade tho average "a of life has eon-
stantly heightened. Another undcrly-
ing reason ma be hat it was a
shock to the nation during the war to
find many young men disqualified for
military service because of poor phys
ical conditions. The natural reaction
has been to seek to remedy this weak
ness and participation in sports helps
to accomplish that result.
