Asked regarding the attitude Of his'
league toward the new plan Presi'
dent Toole said:
Nothing new has developed along
official lines. At its last meeting
our league stood behind its rejection
of the draft and the features OF the
new proposition have only been dis
cussed informally. Naturally, any
league can change its attitude. In
advance Of the next meeting OF all
our club owners, 1t would be i'm.
possible to predict anything. Per
sonally, I have no doubt that the
proposal will be submitted by Judge
Lands in due time and in that
event 1t will certainly come up for
discussion. I understand the Ameri-
son Association discussed the pro-
posal at it's recent schedule meeting,
but I have heard nothing official re-
garding the attitude of it's club
owners. I am unable to make my
opinions on 1t public at this time"
According to the present national
agreement any Of the non-draft
leagues have leeway to return to the
drafting system by making their in
tentions known before February Is
of any year and there will be no
opposition If the International League
votes to accept the draft during the
coming season.

last Sunday which may have started
something in favor of the indoor
game. The Truxtons arranged a dou-
ble-header at the Palace, GA E street
northwest, with vaudeville entertain
ment between the halves, and
charged no admission. 1t was planned
to simply bring out the crowd. 1t

A few more occasions like that and
the Truxtons very likely will have a
fair following-and go broke, unless
admission is charged. 1t cost the

WEST VIRGINIA DECIDES
NOT TO ADOPT BOXING

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, Jan. A.
Boxing as an intercollegiate sport will
not be adopted by West Virginia Uni
versity this year, according to a de-
cdsion just made public. Contrary to
the attitude of some institutions, the
Mountaineer authorities are said to
favor the sport, but think that facilities
should be more adequate and that a
larger number of men should be inter.
ssted before the sport Is put on an
fntercolleg iate basis.

ers, he has to compete with strong.
young boys, and at thirty-six a man
Is rarely quite up to such task
II Leonard beat him, 1t is not likely
that Benny would care to defend
the weller title, and If Jack fought
middleweights he would not be
jeopardizing his crown.
Britton A Crafty Fighter.
We have always been a strong adj
mirer of Britton. He Is n clean liv-
ing fellow, saves his money, and
takes good care of his family. Never
a great puncher, he is one of the
cagiest boxers in the ring, with a
wonderful left hand.
Britton won his title from Ted
Kid Lewis, the Englishman, whose
manager, Jimmy Johnston, found the
old welterweight crown rusting in
the recesses of fistic memory, and
wished" 1t on Lewis. Britton and
Ted Kid contested for that title many
time, but Jack finally wound up
with 1t securely in his possession,
by stopping Ted in nine rounds in
1919.
Britton has always been one OF
the busiest boxers in the ring, and
is probably well-fixed as a result
Of his industry. He has fought
scores of battles. first as a light,
weight, then as a weller.
The best Of the many contenders
at present seems to be Dave Shade
one OF the Fighting Shades Of Cali
&l., ,la ~ Ar
are George. a middleweight, and
Billy a light-heavy. Dave has beaten
Mickey Walker and George Ward
the Jersey boys, who must be
ranked just below Shade in the list
Of contenders.
Shade A Good Man.
Mickey Walker gave Britton such
great battle that his Jersey ad.
mirers believe he would whip the
champion in a long bout. George
Ward is a handsome, flashy boxer,
who made a good showing against
such a master gloveman as Leonard,
the lightweight champion.
Shade broke his hand in a bout
with Walker not long ago, then came
back and bested the Jerseyites, in
the opinion Of the spectators. Any
one who can beat Walker must lie
a good man.
Another good welter Is X. o. Phil
Kaplan, a slugger who knocks 'em dead
when he connects. Kaplan is handled
by Willie Lewis, the old welter. Still
another good man in the division is
Phil Krug, of Newark. Jersey seems
to run to the production of welters.
The division is loaded with tough
nuts. Some of them may not be par
ticulerly fancy, but they are hard to
crack. Old Soldier Bartfield, one of
the very toughest, may not be a cham
pion, but he can make q lot of boys
who think they are champs very sick.
Our old friend, Ted Kid Lewis, the
former champion, seems to have
grown heavier since he returned to
England to make his home, and he is
now winning various titles over there.
He claims the welterweight champion
chip Of Great Britain, and the middle.
weight championship. too, but Brit.
ton can probably still lick him for
either title.

ways been strewn with heavy bumps
