Why do many people, half in jest and half in earnest, knock on wood" as a preventative of misfortune?
 At one time there was a belief that trees and humanity were closely al lied, and that certain trees had healing qualities. It was customary for person afflicted with disease to take woolen> string of three col ors, and with his right hand tie his left loosely to the limb of tree, then slip it out and h4sten home ward without looking back, the be- lief being that the disease was trans ferred to the tree by touching it. Thus from a tree it has become common practice to touch any article made of wood to ward off misfortune.

English Not Pleased With

Lewis Bout.
Bv SPARROW M'GANN
Special Correspondent Of Great Falls Tribune
Copyright, 1922, By The Great Falls Tribune.

New York, May 13.-Little time was
lost after Carpenter had slowed Ted
Kid Lewis away in reaching an
agreement for a bout between Dempsey
and the Gorgeous Gaul to take place
either in London or Paris. AS far back
as last winter the writer predicted ex-
clusively that such a bout would be
arranged abroad although UP to that
time it had not been intlmated here
that such a battle was under cOnsldera-
ton. Nevertheless, it is a bad match
without question.
Englishmen know it and one may
wonder how well the fight will be
patroniZed if it is held in London.
There is a host in England who would
love to see Jack in action-he has
made a tremendous hit over there
but it is felt by the critics, at least,
that it is scandalous to hook Dempsey
UP against a man be has beaten so
decisively. However. the controversy
over the way the Lewis battle was
won may heat things up to a point
where the promoters will deem IT worth
while to stage the bout in London;
In Paris it has been laughingly said
tudl HIS ttuitI iH'h hH'N ~
that Georges has been licked.
Dempsey's prowess as a fighter has
started the London fight fans to
battling among themselves as to just
what pugilism is anyway. One of the
most prominent writer's regards the
definition of boxing as the art of self
defense" as ridiculous. He says you
might as well call bullfighting the art
of self defense.
Boxing, he asserts. is the art of at
tack, c~linching. holding, covering and
side stepping, he says, are nothing
more than adjuncts to the real thing
the well known good night shock.
The holding Lewis and Carpenter
did in their battle has come in for
a lot Of criticism. This style has been
declared by many as the n thing
which is seriously injuring the sport of
boxing in England. The critics quoted
above suggest as a slogan to be fol-
lowed hereafter by British fighters who
wish to remain popular knockout or
get knocked out" 1t is because Demp-
sew exemplifies this theory, that he is
getting over as well as he has in
London.

New York, May 13.-It is a merry
old battle that is going on for leader
ship of batters in the big leagues this
spring, and it is being waged under
conditions that never before existed.
Ball players who can hit are being
permitted to hit. They are not asked
to do much sacrificing and they punch
themselves in the ribs every now and
then to make sure that it is not a
dream. There have been players in
other years who retired from the big
leagues with a feeling of bitter rancor
because managerial instruction had
made them bunt the ball when they
thought they should have been permit
ted TO rap it into mex villa. Some of
them even went so far as to say that
their earning power had been diminish
ed thereby.
Like a Holiday
For a batter to be permitted to hit
freely is like giving him n holiday if
he is one of those. swatters who de-
light in driving. A good team player,
however. never has to be told to sacri-
flee. He knows when.
SO far this year. there has been d
flock of hitters in the American league
rivalling one another for the batting
lead whose faces look unfamiliar. For
instance, Stephenson of Cleveland
though he has moi been a regular per-
former has been batting with a royal
thnmp to the swing of his ash. Last
year he showed that he was a hitter
even if he was just starting a major
league career.

NATIONAL CONTESTS
NOT PRACTICAL YET
IS BELIEF Of CAMP
NJ Representative Country
Wide Collegiate Champion
ships Can Be Held.
By WALTER CAMP

9peetat CORRESPONDENT OF Inc Great rams IfipUhe.
Copyright. 1922. BY The Great Falls Tribune.
New York, May 13.-The situation
regarding track athletics has become
more and more complicated. 1t is no
ones fault. The difficulty is due to
conditions. What shall be done about
it? This is now an important question.
Shall there be something in the nature
of a merger between the l.. c. A. \.
and other bodies notably representing
a wide stretch of country? Or will
the various associations of the country
continue to 90 each one on its basis!
In case they should do this latter, Is
it q possibility that somebody such as
the National Collegiate association will
take a position wherein its meeting
would represent a final testing out of
athletes in all sections? In other words,
a wide championship? 1t is
very hard to see the way clear in this
respect. Particularly is it difficult
at the present time when many of the
older institutions. while not forbid
ding intersections contests, are look
ing upon them with some disfavor.
P~erennially, for instance. in football
there crops up q demand for a real
championship" as its proposers call it.
That is, something in the nature of
a final contest among the leading
tGdUHS III bdEtDuS SeCtiOuS. .hdUy are
deluged in their ideas of this matter
by what seems to be an entire forget
~fulness of the fact that the college
athletics and college teams are not
the main purpose of the university and
that studies and curriculums cannot be
sacrificed.
They regard the collegian as they
would the professional baseball player
whose sole business it is to play base
ball and play it for a salary and here.
of course, championships are essential
and worlds series, so-called, quite
proper.
Hitherto, the intercollegiates have
been the blue ribbon events of the
track season, but thO western confer
ence meet and other meetings have
come up very strongly and although the
intercollegiate was won last year by
a team coming from the greatest pos
sible distance. namely, the University
of California, II can hardly say that
every section has an actual chance. In
all probability, with the present atti-
tude of faculties and athletic commit
tees it would be better for a period
of time, at any rate, to carry on as
We are doing and to await develop
ments rather to make mergers and
devise further means for broader rep
reservations with a view to determiD-
ing something more definite in the way
of championships.
