WALkER-LEONARD GO
is NOT YET ASSURED

NEW YORK. August despite
the fact that Tex Rickard definitely
has announced that the world well
terweight championship bout be-
tween Mickey Walker, the titleholder,
and Benny Leonard, lightweight
champion, would be held in New
York on August 81 and not in Jersey
City, as he originally had planned,
the match continues to hang fire.
Richards difficulties now lie in To-
eating a site where he will be able
TO stage the bout on the scheduled
date
Following the announcement that
the bout would be fifteen rounds to a
decision in accordance with the de-
mand of the New York State Athletic
Commission, it had generally been ex-
pected that the Polo Grounds would
be selected as the scene of the battle.
No definite announcement on this,
however, was forthcoming yesterday
and Rickard, apparently, still has to
close his deal with Charles Stone
ham, head of the Polo Grounds A. c.,
and Jimmy Johnston, the clubs
matchmaker, which would permit him
to hold the bout at the Giants home.
Rickard himself holds no license to
conduct bouts at the Polo Grounds
The promoters only outdoor arena at
present in this city is the New York
Nelodrome, and this would hardly be
selected in view of its seating capac-
ity being far below that required for
a championship battle of the magni-
tude of the proposed WalkerLeonard
meeting
The Yankee Stadium, of which
Johnston also is matchmaker, also is
eliminated, for the present at least,
because the Yankees will be using
their grounds around the time
scheduled for the bout.
Rickard held several conferences
with Billy Gibson, manager of Leon
ard. yesterday, but stated that moth
ing definite had been done and that
he had not heard any word from
either Stoneham or Johnston.

WILS0N-GREB FIGHT
NOW BEING PLANNED
BY FAIR PLAY,

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Plans are on
foot to match Harry Greb and Johnny
Wilson for the middleweight title.
Tex Rickard said today that he would
be glad to stage the bout and pay
for it with commensurate liberality.
Jimmy Johnston would also be glad
to put it on. So would any promoter.
Johnny Wilson in knocking out
Jock Malone turned a mighty sensa-

nothing better qualified to make
him stand well in the eyes of the fans
of the country.
Greb presumably is not averse to
meeting Wilson again. but just now
is preparing for a battle this month
that looks to be a tough one, namely
a go with Tiger Flowers, the battling
negro middleweight from Atlanta.

MOT long ago / listened, with
the aid Of the radio waves,
IN to an address in Wash.
ington by an officer Of the United
States forest service, on the raw
ages made by forest fires. OF
course, we all know that forest
fires are very numerous and very
destructive in dry seasons, and
that 1t is to the interest Of every
inhabitant Of the land that they
should be prevented. But we
need to have our attention called
more frequently and more en-
phatically to the fact that the
careless setting Of a forest ablaze
is nothing less than a crime, and
it ought to be dealt with as
criminal act. 1t is a blow at the
prosperity of the whole country.
Once we had S22 100000 acres
Of virgin forest; now we have
only 137,000.0 900. We have left, It
is true, $500. 900 acres covered
more or less with forest trees OF
varying quality, but none Of vir.
gin growth. These include 245,
100000 acres of second growth,
much less than half Of which is

are 81 ,0o0, 900 acres which have
been cut over, burnt over and
allowed to go to the dogs in gen.
eral, so that they are practically
unproductive Of timber or Of any
thing else.
Fire Worst Foe.
It Is authoritatively stated that
all over the United States where
any noticeable amount of forest
still exists. it is being cut off
four times as fast as it is re-
newed. And on top Of this reck.
lessness come the forest fires,
burning and running hundreds Of
thousands Of acres every year.
There is no more melancholy
spectacle in the world than that
Of a burnt forest, with it's black.
ened stumps and its twisted and
tortured limbs and branches, and
the tangle Of parasltical weeds
and brushes Fastening to cover
It's site with a vast, repellant
scar. Since the earliest settle
ments, when the glorious native
forests clothed the continent with
oceanlike amplitude, 1t is probable
that more forest trees have been
destroyed by fire than by timber
cutting.
The latter can be defended in
part, at least, on the score OF
