HOPES
It HAS FOUND
RING CHAMP

LONDON, Dec. 19.-R-Teddy
Baldock, a STRIPPING of II, has taken
the boxing world by storm.
Since he left school three years ago,
he has been in 1914 battles and never
has met with defeat.
Often he fought twice daily in the
East End, where he is regarded a
hero.
The experts are hopeful that he
will prove TO be a second Jimmy
Wilde and retrieve some Of Great
Britain's lost pugilistic fame.
The lad comes OF fighting stock. His
grandfather fought in the bare
knuckle days of the squared circle an6
his father also was fighter.
Baldocks latest victory was or
Thursday night in Albert Hall, whcr
he defeated Frenchman, Antoine
Merlo, in q brilliant exhibition.

The wide variance in training meth
obs as employed by different members
of the pugilistic fraternity could be
no more aptly illustrated than in the
case of Chuck" Burns and Red"
Fitzsimmons, middleweights billed to
meet in the main event of Jack Shell
tons fight card at Market Hall Tues
day night.
Fitz is the knock-kneed, shuffling,
easy-going type of fellow while go
ing through his training PAGES. He
radiates good humor and makes it
easy for his sparring partners, fig
uring to conserve his fighting dis
position until he crawls through the
ropes and faces his opponent.
Burns, on the other hand, leaves
any milk of human kindness at home.
Whenever his manager, Don Curley.
procures some unwary sparring part
ner for him, which isn't often, it's
just like throwing banquet invita-
ton to a hungry sports writer. ,.
BURNS THRILLS EN-.
Burns highly-charged disposition
provided some genuine thrills for a
large group of spectators who crowded
the gymnasium where he and Fitz-
simmons were working out Thursday
afternoon.
First, Fitzsimmons, radiating his
usual good will. spared three rounds
each with Windmill Jimmie" Bar
rera and Young Spence. Every now
and then the red-thatched one would
accidentally slip in his left a little
too hard, but he would Immediately
back off and take it easy for a space.
He seemed content TO get his work
out, and at the same time let his
sparring partners get a little enjoy
ment out of life.
Then, when Fitzsimmons was
through, Burns appeared on the scene.
He was hankering for Il sparring

 Serious Nature

Washington. May 25.--(AP)-- President Coolidge cancelled his en- agreements for today because of ill., ness.
 The president returned to the White House proper after a short visit to his offices, and the White house physicians were summoned. Officials said the indispositlon was not of serious character. Plans were made to issue a state ment after the physicians had made an examination.
 There had been no previous out ward hint of illness, although 1t was indicated that Mir. Coolidge had been feeling the effects of the in- .creasingly hot weather of the capi- tai.
 He went 10 his office at the usual hour. but soon afterward told his secretary he had decided to go back to the White House and lie down for while.
 It was said that none of the en- gagements on today's list were re- Earded as of any emergency charac- ter and that the President and his advisers agreed they could be put over easily until next week.
 Plans had been made for the usual Saturday afternoon cruise down the Potomac on the yacht MayfloWer. There was no tmmedi- ate indication whether that, too, would be abandoned.
 In all there were but three callers on the list for today, Saturday usu- ally being day of few conferences.
 Senor Jose Del Cormen, the do- minican minister called at the White House to present Senor Don Federi- co Nelasquez. vice president of the Dominican Republic, but they were unable to see Mir. Coolidge. One of the other cancelled engagements was with a group of visiting police chiefs.

He scare ly has missed a day from his desk because of illrass since , o ent red the White HOusc, For some years, however. he has suffered slightly from throat trouble, and has con- suited specialists periodically on that account.
