Today's Public
School Athletic
Meet Postponed

The sudden downpour yester-
day morning showed little sien
of abatinq last night and Coach
Welt of the public schools an
nounced that the city athletic
meet to be held simultaneously
on eiaht local fairgrounds this
afternoon was postponed to
later date.
WieIts regretted the necessity
for postponina the track meet as
the kiddies and teachers were
keyed to the right pitch 10 make
today's meet a huge success
However, the welfare of the KID
dies was the big consideration
and Coach Welt felt that It was
better to postpone the meet than
run the risk of injuring the kId
dies health on the damp grounds.
The athletic meet will be held
some afternoon next week. no
definite date has been decided
uuon due to the uncertainty OF
the weather. However, If the
rain ceases today the meet will
be held Monday afternoon.
All persons interested in to-
day's proposed meet are request
ed to inform kiddies and others
who may not hear of the change
in date. Due notice of the date
for holding the athletic program
will be qiven all concerned and
the teachers are requested to
keep the boys and girls m tram
ina for a few more days that the
program may be carried out as
successfully as it would nave
been this afternoon.

HEYDLERS SAYS THERE ARE NO
HOLDOUTS IN EITHER LEAGUE
BY BOB DoRMAN

NEW YORK, Mar. 16-"There are
no holdouts in either league at pres
ent," says John Heydler, head Of the
National league.
Rather a strange statement, yet
President Heydler means every word
of it.

player has failed to report can ne be
classed as a holdout," continued
President Heydler
Too much is made Of the so-called
holdouts.
Many players who are dubbed
holdouts are merely lax in answering
their correspondence.
"Other players are away from
home, hunting or fishing, and fail to
get the contract promptly.
"As for the fellow who asks for
change in the contract submitted TO
him for his signature, why should
SO much ado be made about it?
Ball players are no different from
anyone else. They have their serv-
ices for sale. the same as lawyer.
"They have the same right TO put
a value on their work and to bar
gain with their employers in order
to obtain that price.

soon find himself out of job. That
goes for baseball. Some players have
an exaggerated idea Of the profits
made in baseball.
ANY club owner will tell you that
the profits of the last two years,
which have been the banner years
of baseball. have not wiped out the
deficits incurred from 1913 to 1919.
"As for admission prices, a little
thought will convince anyone that
they are eminently fair, as compared
with that of other amusement enter
prises.
"Regarding the outlook for the
present season | am through making
predictions. There the bunk
would have to issue a favorable
statement no matter what thought
Il am hoping that baseball will not
suffer as a result of business condi-
tions as they now exist
1T seems that all over amusements
have felt the pinch. Baseball is pc
culiar. however, it seems to weather
a financial crisis better than any
other amusement enterprise.
Baseball is played under ideal
weather conditions most of the sea-
son. That is one or its best assets
in weathering a tight money market.
Everyone likes to get out in the
open. A ball game affords such OPP
portunity, incidentally one gets the

For that reason, no matter how
low ones finances are. they manage
to dig up enough to enable them to
gain admission to the ball park.
Picking a winner in the National
league is beyond me. Perhaps have
a pretty definite opinion. but ] am
not going to express it. That wouldn't I

Il might say. however, that the
New York Giants won the pennant

Giants are certainly no weaker.

BOXING CARD
TO Be STAGED
MONDAY NIGHT
Ana then il ralned.

And then II ratned.
With an all star boxing card lined
foF the fans and eight regular fellows
tuned for the opening gong old Ju-
plter Pluvius stepped in and declared
it no contest.
Perhaps Joe LAWN was born un-
der an uniuc4ly. star, or his long as
sociation with Jack Doyle at Vernon
prejudices him on the sprinkler side
OF the wet and dry question. At any
rate the jinx still hangs fire and to-
nights all star boxing card has been
postponed.
Joe at first decided to call off the
card on account of rain as the roof
leaks at the Capital City arena and
he has a kindly feeling for the long
suffering boxing fan. Several of the
principals on the card, previously ar
ranged for this evening, have dates
signed for next week and Jack Lynch
was due TO return to Fort Bayard
Saturday night. Without consider
ing the expense incurred in adver-
tising and arranging details for the
bout Joe was willing to call off the
card and allow. the boys to fill their
other dates. But the demand of the
fans was too much to resist; when
the word was passed out that the
card was called off the fans pro-
tested that it was unfair to call off
one of the best boxing cards ever ar
ranged in the southwest and Johnny
Kid Mex. Jack Lynch, Chet Neff and
johnny Carlyle volunteered to cancel
other dates and remain here to help
Joe put over the big show
Johnny Kid Mex has bout IN
Colorado Springs next week, Jack
Lynch has three day furlough and
Johnny Carlyle is due back in CALI
fornia Monday and Chet Neff is
matched to meet Red Milburn at
Miami March 81. But the spirit OF
craftsmanship prevailed and Mana :
ger Winters sent out wires that
Johnny Kid Mex could not fill his
Colorado date next week: Chet Nett
asked that his Miami bout be post
poned and Ben Mcfarland said he
would remain over regardless of los
ing his Los Angeles bouts in order to
accommodate Matchmaker LAWN.
~ Then another hitch developed IN
the plans with the weather uncertain
Eand the prospects that it might ram
again Monday. The fans want the
card staged and they didn't want to
lake any chance on rain hating the
show Monday SO Joe arranged 70
rent the Elks theater for Monday
might. Then the question Of city
permit arose and through the efforts
sof Jake Erhardt of the American Le-
gion and the legion matchmaker the
city. permit was granted to Joe LAWN
for Monday night.
There will be no delay on postpone
ment and the all star boxing card
will be staged Monday night &C the

The card will stand as originally

STRANGLER CHALLENGES
DEMPSEY

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Mar 16.-
Basing his action on his belief that
wrestling is superior to boxing as a
means of self-defense. Ed (Strangler)
Lewis. worlds champion wrestler, to-
day challenged Jack Dempsey, heavy
weight champion boxer. for a mixed
match. The challenge was made
public through an announcement by
Bill Sandow, his manager. that he
had deposited $4,000 with local
sporting editor as a guarantee to
meet Dempsey anywhere in the
United States as date that may be
selected later"
Upon hearing that Dempsey's man
ager had said he would agree TO such
a match. Lewis invited him to send
his $4,000 as q guarantee.
Sandow also indicated his conti-
dence in the outcome of the proposed
match by offering to wager $4,000 per-
sonally that Lewis would defeat
Dempsey before a qualified referee
within 20 minutes. Some doubt was
expressed in local sport circles to-
night as to whether any state would
permit a mixed match of boxing and
wrestling to be held.

carpentier May Be Through

PARIS, Mar. 16.--Georges Carpen-
tier. the worlds light heavyweight
champion pugilist, may never fight
again, This was the opinion ex-
pressed by medical men in close
touch with Carpenter as he left to-
day for La Guerche, his country
home, where he purposes to rccuper-
ate for few weeks and then go into
training for bout with Ted Lewis
at London in May.
"The boy does not realize the shape
he is in" said one doctor who eX-
amined him. His great courage and
utmost confidence in himself is re-
sponsible for his plucky attitude, but
he is a very sick man.
The actual weight of Carpenter
after the recent operation he UNDER
went was given as 160 pounds; but
close friends say he was below $50
pounds
Philippe Roth, promoter. who is an
intimate friend of Carpenter, said to
the Associated Press today:
TT would be cruelty to match
Georges in his present condition
against Dempsey, but God forbid that
he should be defeated by Lewis"

WHY VAR DEBTS
MUST BE PAID
British Foreign Office Issues Note to
Allies Says Everybody Must
Paw

London, Aug 2.--The British foreign
office last night issued the text Of an
important note on the question Of in.
ter allied debts Though not formally
addressed to the Washington govern
ment. having been ostensibly meant
only for some of the allied and asso-
ciated powers it evidently is intended
primarily for consumption in the Unit
ed States.
The note places on formal record, on
the eve OF the coming conference be-
tween Raymond Poincare, the French
premier, and David Lloyd George, the
British prime minister, with represen-
tatives of Italy and Belgium in London,
the British government views on the
reparations.
Briefly the policy advocated il that
il would be unjust to the British tax
payer to ask him TO forgive allied war
debts while at the same time he was
required to shoulder the indebtedness
to America.
The note, which was addressed by
the Earl of Balfour, acting foreign sec
retary, to France, Italy, Jugo- Slavia,
Rumania, Portugal and Greece, consti-
tutes a strong plea for international
settlement Of debts and reparations on
the basis Of general cancellation Of
inter allied Indebtedness and a gener-
Gus reduction in German reparations
and at the same time is the govern
ment's reply TO those persons of the
public and the newspapers which have
frankly advised cancellation of the
French. Italian and other allied debts
to England, irrespective of whether or
not the United States was willing TO
cancel the British debt
While recognizing the perfect cour-
tesy and equity Of the American policy
and declaring that the government i
fully prepared TO meet its obligations.
the note contains an expression Of pro-
found reluctance with Great Britain
abandons the policy it would have pre-
ferred of general cancellation. and in
,identally expresses itself as still will
ing TO forego any further German rcpa-
rations If thereby general settlement |
may be brought about.

FISHING VESSEL RUN
DOWN AND SUNK
Only One Man Lost His Life, All Rest
of Crew of 80 Took to
Boats.

Boston, Aug. 1.-The Eiya L. Spur.
ling. an auxiliary fishing vessel, carry.
ing crew Of l6 men, was run down
and sunk of Nauset. Cape Cod yester.
day by the Collier Lake Flournoy which
had just cleared this port bound for
Norfolk. Only one man lost his life in
the crash. His name was given as Pat
rick Powers, a., of Westboro.
A federal investigation to fix the re-
sponsibility for the collision was to be
gin early to-day by officials Of this
port.
An unofficial report said the acci-
dent happened in heavy fog.
The Lake Flournoy. $500 tons, was
built in Duluth two years ago and car
ried a crew Of 80 men, The Inflated
craft was of IA tons. She was built in
Essex in 1904 and was listed out of
Boston.
The Lake Flournoy cut the schoon-
er amidships. When the latter began
TO sink all Of the crew but three took
TO the boats The three took refuge in
the rigging. and as the schooner was
going down two of them jumped TO
the anchor of the steamer and were
hauled aboard. The third. Patrick Pow
ers, was crushed between the rigging
and the steamers huh and dropped into
the water. He was rescued but died
aboard the steamer
Powers was widower with five chill
iren. Collections were being taken up
IN port to-day to provide for them.
