FLYWEIGHT BOUT
RULED STOPPED

NEW YORK, May 27.-The Brook
Ign supreme court leaned down across
the bench Tuesday afternoon and
tapped Pancho Villa and frankie Ash
gently, but firmly on their respective
domes with the gavel.
''There'll be no fight at Henderson
bowl tonight" or words to that effect,
the court ordered.
Villa was to have defended the fly
weight championship of the world
against the little Briton, but the prop
erty holders in the region of the new
stadium obtained an injunction return
able next Thursday, at which time
there will be arguments on the demand
that the arena be torn down as
nuisance.
The fighters probably would not have
met Tuesday night, anyway, as rain
fell during the afternoon and dis
couraged most of the customers.

GOLF AND OTHER TROUBLES

Pastor Improving-Dr. w p. mi
We once knew two golfers whom we
shall call Judson. and johnson. Their
real names were Jones and Smith, A
and B-we forget which,
Judson was a stickler for sartorjal
correctness. A caucus of tailors always
sat in conference for three days and
nights before starting work on a pair
of his knickers. His shoes were built to
order and made from the choicest leath-
er. The wool in his imported hose was
taken from sheep that had been brought
up on special diet. The threads
that went into the hose were carefully
weighed, tested and counted lest one
stocking be heavier than the other and
throw him off balance. The silk for his
garters and shirts came from a picked
group of silkworms that had been re-
Quired to pass literary test. The best
and most expensive caps were never
quite good enough for him. The plans
and specifications for his collar buttons
were carefully worked out by the best
architects and craftsmen in the coun-
try. His underwear, fashioned in Paris
by famous designers, frequently had to
be sent back for an alteration of .03
millimeters in the neckband or some
thing of that sort One year he sent
his valet on a tour around the world
in search of the golf sweater of a
certain desired shade.
And when it came to his playing
equipment he was even worse He
bought whole hickory forest in hope
of obtaining therefrom just one new
driver shaft to suit his fancy. After
1914 trees had been made up itno sample
clubs he finally found one that he
thought would do, on a pinch. All
the steel that went into his rlnhheads
had to be tempered, proc ia and
shaped according to acertain formula.

FRENCH WARNED
AS ISSUE LOOMS
Fans Must Stay In Place,
Is Hint Given By
Authorities
BY EUGENE O'BRIEN
~ Leased Wire To The Age. Herald

PARIS, May 27,-When the first
hostile demonstrations against Ameri-
can Olympic athletics occurred, there
was a disposition here to regard them
as mere incidents of intense. athletic
rivalry. Now, however, it is rscog
nized that the thing has gone too far
for comfort and the French authorities
are trying to make the demonstrative
rooters pipe down.
France APPARENTLY does not relish
the comments of the Ameri-
can press on the sportsmanship of the
crowd which booed the American
rugby team and the American colors,
and assaulted two American spectators
during the final match a short time ago
in which the United States overwhelm-
ingly defeated France. Before that
match there were inflamatory articles
in certain element of the French
press, in. which the American players
were described as thugs. Now the
authorities are causing articles to ap-
pear in the papers which have the
obvious purpose Of calming the angry
multitude. Lest these articles fail of
their purpose, however, there will be
reinforced police patrol of the stadium
Thursday afternoon when the Ameri-
can soccer team meets the Uruguayans
in the second round
Offer Explanation
The French athletic leaders are now
explaining that what may have appear
ed to be thuggery in the American game
was only vigor, after all, and that
American rugby and soccer teams play
rougher, harder game than Euro
peans because the technique has not
been so highly defined in the United
States as it is here. 1t is simply the
American school of football, which the
French crowds and some of the
French critics mistook for brutality.
An editorial in lie Temps Tuesday
was indicative of what the authorities
are thinking. 1t was headed fair
play" and it said: THE Americans
depend mainly on force and strength
the French ON dexterity and cleverness.
However, it is to be feared that ma
tionalized sports may become a source
of new difficulties for those statesmen
who are charged with calming the
rivalries of their peoples"
The effect of the new propaganda
may be observed Thursday as the Uru-
guayans, being Latins, play the Latin
game in which, as lie Temps says,
'dexterity and cleverness" are he
chief characteristics.
FRANCE, HOLLAND WIN
PARIS, May 27.-(By Associated
Press. THE first round and the third
days play in the Olympic soccer foot
ball matches ended today with decisions
in two matches. France defeated Lat
via, to 0, and Holland won from Ru-
mania, 6 to O., The results had been
generally anticipated. Neither winning
team in the opinion of the experts,
showed as good form: as the Urugua-
yam eleven has shown.
The teams still in the running are
Ireland and Bulgaria and Switzerland
and Czecho-Slovakia, who will play on
Wednesday The United States and
Uruguay, Belgium and Sweden, Egypt
and Hungary and Italy and Luem-
bourg, who will come together as named
on Thursday.

NEW YORK, = May 27.-Red Dog
Luis yicentini the Chilean lightweight
with the fire.trarker ring shoes, will
try. again to advance to fight with
Benny I Leonard for the lightweight
championship, when he meets Johnny
Dundee at the velodrome Wednesday
night.
Red Dog Luis has had his scarlet
dogs reprinted and will be spectacular,
if nothing else.
Tex Richard has been having diff.
culties in coaching Luis along for the
Leonard fight, bat he trusts that the
Chilean will catch Dundee on one OF
Johnny's notorious "of-nights7 and win
a decision at least. In that case there
might be some. excuse for a Leonard
vicentini match in the bowl at Boyle's
Thirty Acres.
Vicentini weighs 1874 pounds and
Dundee about 1901 Dundee's feather

Frenchman Looks Good Upon Resuming Train
ing-All Is Well At Gibbons Camp Tuesday

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, May 81
by Associated Press. Georges Car
pentier, resuming work today after q
two days lay off. convinced the boxing
experts that he is ready to meet Tom
Gibbons in their 10-round international
boxing contest here Saturday after
noon. The French light heavyweight,
knowing that his every move was being
checked up by the critics, worked with
the speed of lightweight. He whipped
his punches over with the precision of
a sharpshooter and was obliged to
heed the warnings of Trainer Gus Will
son, who was standing outside the ring
continually shouting to Carpenter to
keep his blows in check.
Carpenter worked an equivalent of
nine rounds. He boxed five rounds
with two sparring partners, shodow-
boxed for a round, whaled the heavy
bag for round and went through a
round of cslisthenics before an attack
on the light bag.
Frenchman Looks Fit
After his workout, the critics agreed
that to all appearances was in much
better condition than while training at
Maphassett for Jack Dempsey. He
looked bigger than ever and was as
eager as race horse for work. The
Frenchman also was in rare humor and
joshed the newspapermen, who had
been denied the privilege of seeing him
work for the last few days.
Carpenter boxed the first two rounds
with Batholomey Molinero, the italian
middleweight, like a cat playing with
q mouse.
Carl Fritz carried Carpenter at top
speed for two rounds, but Georges
pulled his punches and tried mainly to
increase his speed.
Plans To Keep Close
Gibbons gave the critics the i'm
preston that he intends to keep close
to CARPENTER instead of attempting to
