GIBBONS TO HAVE CRACK
 AT JACK DEMPSEY'S TITLE
But Commission Rules he Must First Knock Renault Out of
 the Running.

New York, April 4.--Provided Tom Gibbons decisively defeats Jack Re- lault, the heavyweight champion of Canada, the St. Paul boxer can meet Jack Dempsey in this state. This was decision arrived at by the New York state athletic commission yes terday. The announcement was made following the regular weekly meeting of that body. It was the result of a lengthy conference at which William F. Saylor of the Mich- igan boxing commission presented Gibbons case.
 This decision came as great sur- prise and paves the way for bout to be arranged between the worlds heavyweight champion and Gibbons Tex Rickard has been anxious to stage a bout between Dempsey and Gibbons for some time, but it now ap- pears that the garden promoter may experience no little competition, for one of the most important actions taken by the commission yesterday was the granting of license to the Polo Ground Athletic club.
 The commission also arranged to have Jack Renault at the ringside on May 12, the date that Jess Willard is scheduled to box Floyd Johnson and Louis Angel iFrpo is to meet Jack McAuliffe 2d for the benefit of the Milk Fund, to take the place of any boxer who is unable to appear Re- nault's manager has agreed that he will be in condition--just as much SO as if he were signed for definite bout.

HAUCHTON DOES NOT WANT
 TWIN AT ANY COST" OUTFIT
Famous Coach, Now at Columbia, Advocate of Good Sportsmanship, and That Means More Than Victory He Says.

Boston. April 4.--Proper spirit and attitude toward athletics and not inn mediate victories will be the aim of Percy D. Haughton, far-famed foot ball coach, when he takes over his new duties at coach of the Columbia University football team.
 Haughton Is reticent regarding his plans for the future. but one thing is certain-all candidates will start with a clean slate 50 far as the new coach is concerned. The new mentor has not seen any of last years team in action and the only name he knows Is that of Walter Koppisch, last years star, who is a member of the Columbia athletic advisory board.
 Spring practice, Haughton says, probably will be called some time dur ing April at which time he will have an opportunity to size up the material available.
 Too much stress" says the coach, lis placed upon victories in athletic contests. Good sportsmanship. a healthy body and mind, the unselfsh- nes of team play are some of the real benefits derived It is difficult to define just what I mean, but think all of us have seen many teams and men more glorious in defeat than the vic- tors in victory. am utterly opposed to the win at any cost idea in col lege athletics.
 T do not think however, that when a college builds it's athletic system on sound basis of sportsmanship, with a view to benefits along that line. it not infrequently happens that victories seem to follow as matter of course"
 Much has been said and written { about the "Haughton system" as a result of the marvellous showing of Harvard elevens after the miracle man of football' assumed control of the Crimson's football detiny.
 A talk with Haughton reveals that he does not intend to apply bodily any system to Columbia that was suc- cessful at Harvard. The Haughton system at Columbia will depend en- tirely on conditions at Columbia. One feature, however, which will be ap- piled is the use of numerous assitant coaches to coach the different posi- tions. These football specialists" were feature of the Harvard system.

4 Cold Camp Fire.

WHEN Justice Clark resigned from the highest
w court of the land TO devote his talents to the
advancement of the things in which he believed, he
had particularly in mind the League of Nations.
If it was the hope of the political party to which
he belonged to provide in him a candidate for the
presidency in 1924 who could lead the party back
to power upon the League issue, that hope has van
ished. For all of Justice Clark's efforts in the di-
rection he chose have been received with a marked
coldness and a total lack of enthusiasm.
The further developments in Europe, the failure
after failure of League conventions to function, the
actual falling apart of the League structure at
every test, the continuation Of war in Europe, the
final invasion of Germany by the French to com
pei the very things promised in the Treaty of Yer
sailles and the League Covenant, and the fulfill
ment of all and singular the prophesies forecast in
the American senatc's refusal to ratify, have
placed the League of Nations so deep in the
discard of human documents as to shake the faith
of men of greater strength of mind than Justice
Clark.
The moving events of the world have practically
left Justice Clark without a cause to advocate.
And while the march of time has done this thing
to the Justice, it has brushed him aside as a pres
idential possibility and removed the League of Ma
lions as a possible issue in 1924, or a vehicle by
which any candidate might ride to power.
Considering other faithful adherents of the
League idea, James N. Cox has and is still stand.
ing firm for tho same dead issue. While the
mental inferior of Justice Clark, still he is an up
standing and outstanding Lacquer, and in many
respects a better representative of Democratic
habits of thought than is the Justice.
Which of the two gentlemen is the most promis-
ing exponent Of the exploded Wilson idealistic
school of international philosophy matters but
little, since the school itself has blown up.
Domestic questions will furnish the issues upon
which the contest of 1924 will be waged and the
best exponent OF them will be the successful can,
didate in that year. And the party directing its
course to conform to the favorable winds of such
an appealing policy cannot avoid the good fortune
that will come to it.
The American people are weary of Europe and
every phase of its turmoil and intrigue. We have
a country and interests of our own to look after
We are not Europe's keeper and do not aspire to
be. Her affairs and her troubles are and should
be only incidental to us, not paramount as some
mighty poor Americans would have 1t. Europe will
not be good, not even helpful to herself. The Amer
lean policy, under the circumstances, is to let her
wallow in the bed she has made for herself, per
forming such Christian and humane acts only as
the exigencies seem to demand, but for the main
part devoting our time and attention, our brains
and wisdom to the welfare and prosperity of our
own people and our own institutions.

Hc has fulfilled every promise made in his behalf.
He has within tho first half of his term secured
the major portion Of the legislation desired to
place the affairs of government and Of business on
proper bases. He has reduced. federal taxation
passed a protective tariff act, reduced the army
and navy and placed the country on a peace basis,
restored the flag in the respect of the world, con-
summated treaties that will remove cause for war
and maintain peace in the Far East and in South
and Central America, established an American pol.
icy in foreign affairs and has done much in domes-
tic matters to bring contentment to the people. 1t
has not all been accomplished because time is a
large factor in restoration of better conditions.
But as has been said the president has done his
part honestly and fearlessly. May be not brill
iantly and with picturesqueness and theatricals,
still substantial things have been accomplished.
Mr.. Harding has every right, upon the record he
has made to consult his co~untrymen as to their
wishes with reference to his further candidacy.
And if he and his friends and supporters have
the excellent sense to abide by the wishes of the
people, and avoid the usual tactics of an admin
~istration in power, there is nothing to fear on his
part either in the support or the confidence of
the people.
The people are still thinking we'll Of Harding
and his honesty of purpose. They have forgiven
anything and everything real or imaginary in con
neCtion with his nomination and the circumstances
surrounding it. They have set these things down
to the profits and losses of the political system
under which We operate. But they do not want
to be called upon to go through it again.
Therefore, the setting up exercises, common in
previous years, in pre-convention periods, had bet
ter be dispensed with, and federal office holders
barred from delegateships in the 1924 convention.
Let the Republican party make the nomination in
its own way. If the Republican party does not
want Mr.. Harding and believes he cannot be.
elected upon the record he has made, let the party
select a better man who can be elected, and as
sumo the responsibility, instead of the politicians
who raise heaven and earth to secure seats and
votes in the convention. .
At this time it looks like party government, par.
ty methods and party behavior will have consider
able to do with the matter; and that whether the
platform presented by the party eschews Europe
and devotes it's full attention to domestic welfare
and the happiness and prosperity Of our own
people. These are the things that will have more
to do with the presidential election in 1924 than
the mere matter of picking the man to uphold such
policies.
