The committee Of three sporting
scribes who will be asked to render
q decision after the battle has not
been appointed as yet. New Jersey
authorities have been somewhat in
terested in this move. since fights in
Jersey are permitted to go only
twelve rounds, with no decision al
lowed. But in view OF the fact that
the decision will be given in New
York it is difficult to see what the
Jersey men could do about 1t.
Just at present betting men are
Offering to ! on Leonard. There is
little wagering on the basis of a
Knockout. The prevailing idea is that
both men will go the twelve rounds,
but that Leonard will leave no doubt
as to his boxing superiority. OF

Tennis players generally finance
transatlantic tours through a tourna-
ment levy of two shillingS for each
competition they take part In. The
general feeling is tfat England
should not have challenged unless
she was prepared to go through with
the matches. The sentiment prevails
that men like Gilbert, Gordon, Lowe,
Campbell and Turnbull were capable
OF putting up a creditable fight.
Would Divide Competition.
On the other hand 1t is pointed out
in tennis circles that this years par
tial collapse of the Davis cup compe-
tition with a succession of defaults
through heavy expenses due to trans
atlantic tours has proved the case
for those who assert that the compe-
tition must be remodeled.
The Westminster Gazette's plan Is
to divide the competition into two
eections-one American and the other
European-giving every challenger
each year the option of playing
through either section.
Gerald l. Patterson. the Australian
player, informed the Associated Press
today that he warmly supports this
plan, under which only one country
each year would have to face the ex-
pense of a transatlantic voyage.

100000"
Frank Colwell, head OF the police
automobile theft squad, Is authority
for that statement and he blames
carelessness Of Minneapolis automo-
bile owners for the whole thing.
Automobile theft figures compiled
by Detective Golwell show 1869 cars
were stolen during 1921. representing
approximately S1,862 900. or that
number, 1870 automobiles valued at
s1,270.000 were recovered. There
are still 1872 cars missing and figur-
ing their valuation OF $1,000 each.
Colwell declares they represent $751;
900. Insurance companies, accord
ing to Detective Colwell. have paid
approximately 100000 in claims.
Automobile theft insurance TO a
certain extent has indirectly in.
creased automobile thefts." declared
Detective Colwell. Automobiles
holding theft insurance have be.
come careless about locking their
cars and have left them parked in
the streets where they may be easily
stolen. When notified about recov.
cries many automobile owners in.
differently have let their cars re.
main where found and they have
been stolen over again." Colwell said.
John Rogers, night desk sergeant
ut police headquarters. has had
many experiences with the indiffer.
ent automobile owner. He says:
when an automobile owner gets
Erouchy on the telephone when
called out of bed at night and tells
me that he will let the car remain
where 1t is until morning, you can
bet he doesn't care whether he gets
It back or not. In some cases cars
recovered by policemen have been
stolen before the owners got around
to get their machines
Joy riders, whisky runners and
professional automobile thieves are
the ones who give the auto theft
squad much grief. Fifty per cent
of the cars stolen during the last
year were taken by joy riders and
in every case were recovered.
Whisky runners steal cars for trans
porting liquor between Canada and
Minneapolis and invariably desert
the stolen cars here after complet.
ing their trips.
