SIX RING CHAMPS TO DEFEND TITLES AT ". Y. THIS YEAR
Two of the Big Bouts in Sight Are International
 Affairs

NEW YORK, March 16.-By SAsso- ciated Press)--SiX worlds boxing champions will defend their titles in New York during the coming out door season, according to present plans of promoters. It is possible that this list, promising one of the most active fiStic programs Tn years, may be augmented by one or two other championship contests.
 Two of the title bouts have been arranged as attractions at the Polo Grounds, the first between Johnny Kilbane, featherweight champion, and Eugene Criqui. his French rival, June ,, and the other between Jimmy Wilde. English holder of the worlds flyweight belt, and Rancho Villa former American 112-pound cham pion, June 16.
 Entanglements have been placed in the way of the kilbane- Criqui fight because the American is at present on the outlaw list" of the New York state athletic commission for failure to accept last year a challenge from Johnny Dundee for q title match Dundee is recognized feather weight king in this state. but pro- motors are proceeding with plans for the international contest on the as sumption that difficulties now appar ent will be ironed out.

Dempsey is practically certain to de- fend his title in the fall. either here or in South America, the latter con- tngency depending on whether Firpo emerges S the principal contender.
 Gene Tunney, who recently re gained the American light heavy weight title from Harry Greb. may add to the championship program by engaging in a return bout with the Pittsburger.

ST. PATRICK USED
 ROCK FOR PILLOW AND BURNE ] SNOW
Irish Saint Was Frugal and Was Born in Scot
 land

It's St. Patrick's Day in the mor-r- Fnin.
 Shamrocks everywhere. the wearin pf the green. for the good Irishman and his friend is observing the day pf the death of the patron saint of Ireland who drove all the snakes rom the country and made fires from Ice and snowballs.
 And the funny part of it is that St Patrick, the beloved, is not an Irish hnan at all except by adoption. He was born, according to the best au- thorities, near Glasgow, Scotland, in 3S7 When he was Is years old, St Patrick, whose baptismal name was Succat, was captured and carried to Ireland. He made his escape and re- turned home only to feel call to carry Christianity to the Emerald dsle He received his apostolic bene- diction from Pope Celestine in 4S2 and took up his work in Ireland in 432. When he began there We're no Christians in the country. When he died. March IT. 463. there were no heathen. During his 30 years preach kng in Ireland St. Patrick founded 3SS churches and placed 8 school beside leach church.
 St. Patrick was buried at Down. patrick, in Ulster. 21 miles from Bel hast He is described as a man of Small stature, but having great en- ergy He was very frugal (probably due to his Scotch ancestry) and slept on the ground with rock for a pill bow until he was 55 years old, giving all he made to charity.
 The beginning of the celebration or March IT as St. Patrick's Day is ob- scured in antiquity, but it is known that the shamrock Is worn on this oc- casion because he used it in explain ling the trinity. The first celebration of the day in America is thought to have been in 1737 in Boston. On March IT, 1757, the garrison at Fort William Henry celebrated the day French troops thinking to take the fort by surprise, marched from Ticon- deroga. only to be repulsed with losses. When the British evacuated Boston March IT. l776, Washington authorized the password as "Bos- ton" and the counter-sign as St. Pat rick
 The celebration has now become universal throughout the United Estates as well as every other place where Irishmen are found, for St Patrick drove the frogs from the |bogs and banished all the vermin.
