Colonies Decided
On as the Scene
OF Olympic Games

PARIS. April IL (By The Associated
Press) 1.-The French Olympic COM
mittee has decided to hold the 1924
Olympic Games at Colonies, a suburb
of Paris, it was announced to-day. 1t
will organize the games without the
help Of the Paris Municipal Council
and stage them on the grounds of the
Racing Club Of France, which has
undertaken to build stadium.
The Olympic committee will ask for
a subsidy of only 100000 francs
from the government instead of co.
100000, the sum first fixed. 1t has in
formed the Paris Municipal Council
francs voted by the council last month,
and that it could not use the Pershing
Stadium at Vincennes, which it re
Gently appeared had been definitely de-
cided upon as the place for holding
the games.
The offer of the Racing Club calls
for a 500-meter track, inside which
there will be Rugby and Association
football fields; the building of a
stadium which will accommodate co.
900 specta tors, and dressing rooms for
1900 athletes. The track is to be
ready for training purposes in Octo
Der, 1922. The club will ask for so per
cent of the receipts Of the Olympic
games, with q guaranty of 3,ooo,0o0
francs.
A swimming pool of the regulation
size, fifty meters in length, with stands
for 10000 spectators, and four tennis
courts also will be built in July. 1923,
providing the guaranty to the club is
raised to 100000 francs.

Charley Pitts was awarded the de-
cision on a foul after having taken q
terrific beating from the Philadelphia
southpaw for seven rounds. This
brought violent protest from both
Tender and Glassman, and later led
to an argument between the referee
Griffin, and the manager in Tender
dressing rom.
Epithets alleged to have been hurled
at Griffin by Glassman@ caused the
action taken by the Boxing Commits
sion yesterday. The verbal row is said
to have occurred in the presence Of a
member of the commission.
II q foul was committed in the
Tendler-Pitts bout few people at the
ringside were aware Of it. The ending
of the battle was somewhat similar to
that of the TenderHymie Gold affair
at Madison Square Gsrden six weeks
ago. On that occasion Gold raised a
claim of foul, which was not allowed,
and the Philadelphian was credited
with technical Knockout. The blows
that finished Gold were similar TO
those that downed Pitts. They were
hard drives to the pit Of the stomach.
Tender dropped Pitts twice in the
second round and subjected him to &
severe drubhing from then on. In the
seventh he drove his left into the
Australians stomach and followed it
mediately with a snappy right hook
to the chin. Pitts collapsed and Grit
fin began to count over him. Nine sec
onds had been tolled off when Pitts s
seconds jumped through the ropes and
claimed that the body punch had been
low. AS Referee Griffin counted ten
the seconds carried Pitts to his corner
and he was awarded the decision on q
foul. The general opinion at the ring
side was that the blow was absolutely
fair. The alteration between Griffin
and Glassman began in the ring and
was renewed in the dressing room. it
is probable that Tender will be rein
stated Monday.
The management of Ebbets Field, in
Brooklyn, was informed yesterday by
the Boxing Commission that a license
to hold fights in that incloseure during
the summer months would be granted
if the proper application was submit
ted. 1t is planned to hold daylight
bouts on the field during the absence
of the Brooklyn ball club.
Tex Richard and Mrs. Richard sailed
for Bermuda yesterday afternoon on
the liner Hamilton. The promoter said
he was going away for a rest, but de-
clined to cay when he expected to re
turn. He also declined to discuss sew
eral important bouts which he Is known
to have under negotiation.
