Captures Swarm Of Bees;
Is Stung Only z Times

SUOKANE, WASH. Sept. 23.-The
capture of a swarm of $1,000 bees
on the roof of local building per-
formed by man who was bare
handed and without mask was a
spectacle witnessed here recently
The bees took possession of an
upright scantling on the roof of
the building, and successfully evad
ed all efforts of the owner Of the
building to disoldgethem. A local
seed company was appealed to for
relief and George w. York, for
many years editor of the American
Bee Journal in Chicago, FASTENED to
the scene, only pausing to grab his
hat and a bee hive.
Arriving at the building. he walk
ed up tc the swarm, placed the hive
entrance close to the base OF the
scantling on which the bees had
swarmed, and began to strip them
eff the plank with his bare hands
80 that they dropped to the roof
AS the insects fell to the roof
they slowly crawled into the open
hive When the entire swarm had
been removed from the scantling in
this way their captor fastened the
entrance with wire netting. He
estimated that he had secured all of
the swarm with the exception OF
about 100. The only injury he suf-
fered in the process consisted of two
slight stings.

FREE IRELAND
MAY REFLECT
SELF IN SPORTS
Move Is on to Establish Kennel
Club Separate From
English Body.

Creation OF q Free State in Ireland
has resulted in complications which
promise to be reflected in the sport.
ing world. For instance, a highly
anomalous situation is threatened
through the proposal of dog owners
in the Irish Free State to establish
a new kennel club under independ-
ent self-government, with no rela-
ton to the English Kennel Club.
Setting up an independent govern.
ing body would involve not only
separate codes of rules and separate
stud-books, but also separate regis.
tiers for dogs, and it is easy to see
what difficulties will be encountered
by exhibitors under a dual system.
Irish fanciers showing their dogs in
England and Scotland and British
owners exhibiting in ireland would
be compelled to register with both
kennel clubs, paying separate fees
to each. Neglect of registration
with one or the other inevitably
would lead to entanglements, since
neither would be in a position to
check the others records. There
would also be difficulties in buying
and selling in matters Of stud serv-
ices. and in restrictions imposed on
importations.
Interchange of gun dogs, coursing
greyhounds and other sporting dogs
when they are required either for
field work or competition, would be
seriously hampered under n dual sys-
tenn. 1t Is a question whether a dog
which had gained a field certificate
in England or Scotland would pe
qualified thereby to take champion.
ship in Ireland. Furthermore, there
arises the question of championship
points gained in the two countries.
Many difficulties also loom. up In
the matter Of Jurisdiction, for under
an entirely Independent governing
body, dogs from the Irish Free State
In England would have the sam.
status as dogs from the United States
or the continent. Ireland's new body
naturally would not forego its claim
to registration fees, which would re.
suit in a proportionate diminution Of
revenue for the older body. II is the
sincere hope of British sportsmen
that some friendly agreement may be
reached whereby registra tons IT.

HERMAN SHOWS
MAY COME BACK
SIGNS THAT HE
Wants to Awaken Interest in
Bantam Division, Dead
Since Buff Quit.

Peter Herman is coming North
again to try to work up fresh in
terest in the bantamweight division.
Bantams were all the rage here until
Champion Johnny Buff ran away to
England. His absence killed interest
in the division. and now that he is
back again he finds that the demand
for his services is not as great as il
was.
Herman wants to fight Buff, but
70 Is not going to remain idle while
waiting for the little Jerseyite to
make up his mind to take a chance.
Herman wants return battles with
both Joe Lynch and Midget Smith.
Recently Herman took on Babe
Asher at New Orleans and scored a
knockout in six rounds. Herman's
performance set the Crescent City
fans raving over his prowess. Now
he is convinced that he is back in
his old time form and he is anxious
TO wipe out the decision that Smith
scored over him some months ago.
Herman is almost matched with
Joe Lynch for a bout at New
Orleans, but there seems 10 be
hitch somewhere. On the night OF
the Herman-Asher bout Lynch sent
a telegram saying that he was on
his way to New Orleans to sign
articles. He evidently got side
tracked, as the New Orleans pro-
moter heard nothing more from
him.
Down in New Orleans Herman is
an idol. Local pride in him is no
strong that If he were matched
there with Buff for the title the
bout would break all records for
that city. For that reason Her
mans manager is willing to guar
antee Buff more money than he can
get for any match in this city If he
will fight Herman in New Orleans.
Although Buff found things so
unpleasant in England that he re.
turned much sooner than he expect
ed, Herman intends to go abroad
in a few, weeks. The New Orleans
Italian is a great favorite in Eng.
land and the promoters have made
him offers for two bouts so large
that he has accepted, although he
would rather remain here to meet
Buff II the latter could be induced
to meet him.
Herman is scheduled to meet Joe
Fox and II is likely that Criqui viii
be his opponent in the other con.
test. The Frenchman created a tire.
mendous sensation when he knocked
out Charley Ledoux in one round
recently. Ledoux had met all the
leading bantams of the world. lie
had been stopped by Kid Williams
when the latter held the title. but
no one ever handled him as Criqui
did. Herman would have TO con.
cede considerable weight to the
Frenchman: but he thinks he could
do II.
The Washington times., 1922-03-06

|bANTAM,C0MNAG
ACROSS WATER
conqueror Of Ledoux Will Prob
ably Be Seen in New York
This Summer.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Despite
the fact that Europe is going crazy
over Eugene Criqui, the French
Belgian. who recently knocked out
Charles Ledoux in the first round.
Criqui practically has agreed to an
offer by a local promoter and prob
ably will be seen in action here this
summer. Criqui now has drawing
power in Europe second to Car
pentier, but America is bidding
higher than Europe for his services.
Criqui had three pounds the best
of the weight on Ledoux, but had
the worst of the weights at that.
inasmuch as he had to box at a
poundage five pounds under his best
fighting weight.
The ease and quickness with
which he battered Ledoux into in
sensibility speaks well for the
punching power of Criqui. In his
American contests Ledoux proved a
glutton for punishment and a lion
for courage.
Kid Williams was the only Ameri-
can to make Ledoux take the count.
None Of the other American boxers
could stop the rugged and cour-
ageous Frenchman. -
Speaking of Criqui, one of the
most competent of British boxing
authorities says:
THE Frenchman has most obvi.
ously developed a real pile driver.
His list of X. o. wins has been grow
ing particularly long Of late, and his
victories have all been achieved in
jigtime. We shall hear. of course,
that Ledoux has gone back. and
that youth beat age. But Criqui is.
after all, only ten months younger
than Ledoux, and has spread his
boxing career over almost as long a
period. There is very little to
choose on either Of these scores. .-
Then, as to war service, Ledoux
may have had his rough times, and
may have suffered thereby; but one
has only to look at the two men to
note that Criquis must have been
the more painful.
THAT Is really the most surpris-
ing thing about him. 1t Is really re-
markable, when you come to think
of 1t, that a man should be able to
win such high laurels after he has
had no small portion Of his jawbone
shot away"
