A NNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 25.-

the ethics Of collegiate boxing were
observed to the letter. No contest.

n the 115-pound class Lindsay. OF
the visitors, made good use Of his
left, but lacked power. while Latta
outpunched him. as did Sebald. in
the next class, against Smith. II

Of Tech. had the advantage In the
regular period, but an extra round
was ordered and his advantage was
clearly demonstrated.
The 145-pound class brought to-
pether SEVERN and Moll, two stocky
hard-fighting youngsters. The Navy
man was the better boxer and hit
equally rs hard as the Tech cap
tain. Zotti and oregan. the Nays
representatives in the heavier
classes. were both shiftier than their
opponents and made their blows
count more. They easily had the
margin In their battles.

Interest In this coming match for

The well-known bad feeling between
the athletes, which broke out into

spur to this interest among the mat
fans Of the District.
While Turner is admitted to be q
wonderfully clever man, those back
ing the Cleveland Greek claim the
latter has. too much strength for his
rival and that he will wear him
down and finally throw him.
Count on, Experience.
Turner's friends are merely point
ing to the good work Of their man
over 1.-The years. They cannot see
that he will ever let Dallas throw
him. They insist that Turner'S ex-
perience will stand him in good stead.
even though Dallas 10 younger and.
possibly. stronger.
Dallas has driven every heavy
weight wrestler to cover in the Dis
trict and is suffering from lack OF
opponents for his training stunts.
He is inclined to be too rough and
bear-like in his practice work for the
local lads who have essayed to test
their ability against him. He expects
to obtain a couple of professionals In
Q day or so. and then he will proceed
to bounce them around.
On the other. hand, Turner's regu-
lar weekly matches at the Capitol
Theater are serving him in good
stead as workouts. In this he has a
decided advantage over the Cleveland
Greek. For the last week before the
match, Turner will probably so into
the country and rough II for a few
days. That will top off his condition

on the bout, but there 10 a lot OF

No referee has yet been agreed on
by the wrestlers. According to the
articles of agreement the referee
must be agreed upon by the wres'
tiers on or before 3 o'clock March 3
II they fail to agree, Promoter Free

II has also been agreed upon by
both Turner and Dallas that at least
three local sports editors shall act
as judges, being seated on opposite
sides Of the ring, and shall assis,

case Of any argument.
Promoter Freeman has posted $500
with the sports editor Of The Wash

the rank and file of the mine workers
do not. Nearly everything is against

There is a big surplus of coal on hand

to condemn strikes on general princi-

The miners, too, have unfortunately
forfeited Il good deal of public sup

hour demands, at a time when the
wages are going down inevitably and
when industry in general feels the need
of workig harder.
In this situation, a strike would be
sheer folly. Yet the responsibility

Termed Serious Step
Today S press makes a sensation or
the demands. 1t is felt that LORD
Reading has taken grave and serious
stcp---in most quarters 1t is held to hc
an improper one, in making recon
mrndaiions for revision of the Sevftj
treaty al this stimc.
The British administration in India,
however, has not taken this step except
after consultation with native leaders
and it constitutes officially recognl-
ton of growing disaffcction among the
Mohammedan elements of India $ pop
ulaion aud the rcStlessncsS which has
spread to state troops.
Lord Reading s. note says that this
action is taken on the eve of the near
cast, conference with a purpose of en-
phasizing the intensity of feeling in
India regarding necessity for revision
of the Severos treaty, in which Turkey
was severely treated.
Britain Keeps Promise
The viceroy points out that Moslcm
troops fought under the British flag
against Turkey with the understanding
that Great Britain would keep her
promise not to weaken Sultan s posi-
ton when peace was made. This
promise, the Moslems declared has been
broken and their supreme ruler rcduc ed
to an ignoramus position.
The message adds that India serv-
ices in the war, in which Indian and
Moslem soldiers so largely participated,
entitle her to claim "to the utmost her
just and equitable aspirations. -
