ON coal distribution.
District President Gruetzner, who
Is not member OF the coal syndi-

quarters from Essen when the
French invasion began. was the only
prominent industrialist present.
The allies notified the Ruhr mine
administrators and workers they
must obey orders OF the army of
occupation. not those OF Berlin. Gen.
Simon attended the meeting and

said the great danger in the situs.

of weeks, especially II the French
seize the mines without paying the
miners. In that case. he said. the
German government would not pay
the miners and there might be

Western Golf Meet
Has Promising Events

Cleveland. June 14-(By A. P.)-
When Chick Evans comes here to
defend his title in the western
amateur golf championship, to be
played over the Mayfield Country
Club course July 1928. his stiffest
competition probably will come from
Rudy Knepper Of Sioux City. Bobby
Jones of Atlanta has announced he
will not be participant. while
Francis Ouimet Is considered q
doubtful starter.
Other promising entrants are Har-
rison Johnson of st. Paul: Godchaux
of New Orleans and Boyd Of Knox
vile.
Indications, according to golf ex-
perts here. are that Knepper will
beat his best this year. They point
out that he struck his stride for the
first time last year and easily was
one of the ranking players Of tho
season. His work in the national
amateur at Brookline was not many
strokes below the best form shown
by Sweetser, Evans and Jones.

Flyweight Bout
Villa Wilde

New York, June 14-(By A. P.)-
Pancho Villa, born Francisco Gull
ledo, the tiny Filipino who will meet
Jimmy Wilde the Welshman in a
fifteen-round contest at the Polo
Grounds Monday. in an attempt to
win Wilde's world flyweight title, is
one of the greatest little warriors the
ring game has known.
The terror Of all the youths in his
native island home of Iloilo, in the
Philippines, Villa was fashioned into
a boxer in 1918 by an American pa
iron Of the game of fisticuffs. Villa
was then II years old. He entered
the professional game in the Philip
pines in 1919, and for three years he
fought without losing a single con-
test
His early opponents were bantams
in four and six round bouts. Terrible
Pondong, the uglest and heaviest
hitting little man in the islands; Stiff
Irineo and Battling Balaraino, two of
the snlartest bantams, were unable
to defeat Villa. Balaraino tried no
less than ten times, and the best he
ever got was draw. George Men
dres. the Australian fiyweight title
holder, was knocked out by Villa in
three rounds in 1921.
Villa has had unusual success in
the United States. He knocked out
the veteran Johnny Buff in the
eleventh round of a terrific mill in
Brooklyn last September and won
the American flyweight title. But he
lost this bit of treasure several
months later to frankie Genaro, New
York Italian. Genaro and Villa fought
toe to toe for fifteen rounds, and
Genaro was awarded the judges de-
cision. Some newspaper boxing ex-
perts declared, however. that Villa
should have received the verdict.
Villa lost but two contests before
coming to the United States, one a
decision to Francisco Conception in
four rounds, and one a foul to Eddie
Moore. Genaro was the only man to
draw an official decision over the
Filipino in this country.
Villas fighting weight is 40
pounds. He is a tireless. offensive
fighter with a strong punch in either
left or right. His best work has been
done at close quarters.
