Boston, Feb. 13.-Honors were evenly divided between America and England in the finals of the inter- national amateur boxing bouts staged here last night by the New England division of the amateur Athletic Union, the Britishers win ming in the 135 and 160 pound classes and the Americans in the 147 and 175 pound divisions.

 HOPELESS MUDDLE
LeOnard'S Successor Does Not
 Loom Up

New York, Feb. 13,--For the first time since Hector was an anemic, updernourished pup, the lightweight situation finds itself positively and pathetically on the rocks.
 Kenny Leonard, having grown too weighty to scale in at the required poundage for championship fight, and plainly indicating an aversion to a weltcrwcight bout with the champion of that division, Mickey Walker. may be accepted to-wit and as follows: that he is definitely through with the prize ring, Now who will replace Leonard? Tho New York Boxing Commission announced plans for an elimination tournament featuring a dozen or so outstanding contenders for the title, the winner to meet the best of the European set for the world title.
 This sounded simple enough. But then three of the principal contend crs-Johnny Dundee, Sammy Man dell and Sid Terris-withdrew for various reasons.
 ] Suppose the commission insists on holding the elimination tournament without a complete quota of chal- lengers? Would the winner be ac- cepted as the champion? He would not. And if the bctter-known bat tiers decline to participate in any i sort of elininatons. who is there to make them
 Retirement Hurts Sport
 This gives you an idea of the complexities toward which the di- vision is now headed. It may be years before the situation is satis- factorily strengthened out.
 Instead of helping the game, as many ventured. because of his ac- cepted invincibility, Leonard, in re- tiring, has hurt it seriously.
 Boxing champions are made in the ring and championships should come to the challenger directly from the ttleholder. Any situation that de- stroys the sequential transference of titles is bad for the sport.
 The lightweight division has been singularly free of problems such as it now faces. in modern times, at least, the division has always had a champion who stood out undisput- ably.
 The present generation goes back to Kid Lavigne, Joe Cans, Battling Nelson, Ad Wogast, Willie Ritchie, Freddie Welsh and lastly 10 Leon- ard, who has stepped down after seven years.
 No Real Contcndcrs
 It is not going to be easy 10 ac- custom the eye or mind to reading | daily accounts wherein Battling Gootus of FlaXsced, Ncv, through the vocal eloqucnce of his manager, MT, Otis P. Sapp, claims the light weight championship for no reason whatever.
 And what makes the situation all the more depressing you are easily depressed-is the fact that none of the present 1S5-pounders seems to possess any unusual amount of ability.
 Man1ell is not hitter. Ferris is too light. Gle weighed less than 13l pounds for his recent fight in Madison Square Garden.) Dundee is too old. So is Clancy.
 Jack Zivic would be this writer's pick of the lot if he were sure Zivic could do the weight. But inc Pittsbnrgher is a junior weltcr- weight and it remains to be seen if he can prune down.

mary of the most important
news Of the world for the
seven days ended. April II.
The British Empire.-The main oh-
Ject OF Sir James Craig, the premier
or ulster, In disSolving the ITIster
parliament and holding general cleo
tions was to ascertain the sentiment
OF the people of Ulster regarding the
ulster governments attitude toward
the commission which. pursuant to the
London treaty, which created the Irish
Free State. is delimiting the bound
aries between Ulster and the Free
state. The Ulster government has re-
fused to recognize the legality of the
commi ssion. The result of the cleo
tions just held was a disappolntment
to Sir James. The new Parliament
viii comprise 33 supporters of the
government and a miscellaneous on
position of 10, as compared with 40
government supporters in the old
Parliament and an opposition of 10.
1t is possible, however, that the re-
suits should not be construed as dis
approval of the governments attitude
toward the commission. The claim
is heard that the government showed
It's election campaign.
There was a very little open mani
festation of hostility against Lord
Balfour during his visit to Palestine,
partly, perhaps, because of efficient
police arrangements, but at Damascus
in Syria (French mandate), whittier
he went from Palestine on a pleasure
jaunt. the Arabs demonstrated vio-
lently against him, showing how
widespread is Arab resentment on ac-
count of the Zionist enterprise.

Damascus rioters, enroute to the
hotel where Lord Balfour was stop

French Algerian troops, with result
of several killed and a good many in
tured. Lord Balfour discreetly cut
short his visit and left the country.
Steaming southwark in the Re

barks at the chief port of one Brit

fantastic enthusiasm by the natives.

in absolute possession or under man

France.-OH April the Herriot

its anxiously awaited fiscal and finan-
cial proposals, the main items OF
which may be digested as follows:
THE legal limit of note circula-

raised from 1900, ,0oO, 900 to $4,000
600, 900 (paper) francs, and the legal

BY E. ". HOVE,
"Thc Sage Of Potato Hill"

The ambition of the fundamental
lists, it has lately been stated, Is to
keep the hell fires burning. Occa
sionally you meet a bright man who
is not only learned in the law, but In
literature ] heard such a one state
lately that W. ]. Bryan's cry that he
lis not related to the ape is ridiculous,
since science proves that man is older
than the ape. Perhaps you have noted
that Mr.. Bryan has become a real es-
tate barker in Miami, Fla. I lately
heard a responsible man say that Mr..
Bryan gets $4,000 for his services
during the Winter season Of two or
three months. viii all those infu-
enced by his eloquence make profit
on the lots they buy? Or Will some OF
them lose?
Are old men meaner or wiser? Ny
own impression is that It Is a case OF
being worn out. Here are a lot OF
people crowding to buy tickets 10 a
show. The old man is not in the mob;
he goes around il. because he has
seen the show. Not only that, he has
been behind the curtain. and seen tho
machinery with which the illusions
are produced. Every old man knows
much of value. His comments may be
too long; discount a good many of his
opinions, owing to meanness, but he
has had so many doses of ham and
eggs that he knows very well what
they amount to. He has had certain
experiences you cannot discount; the:
happened. over and over again, and
are of value.
In one Of the magazines a writer
lately asked this question: rs hon
estly possibly?" Absolute honesty is
not, but very good imitation IS.
Honesty is the one human thing the
people can make progress and profit
with. 1t is not possible for US ordi-
nary humans to be geniuses, but We
can be honest in sufficient degree 70
be respected and successful in life.
| Working at honesty is like working
| in a rich mine which always pays.
| The same writer also asks: What is
honestly" It is obeying those rules
| of life, experience has proven most
/ profitable. 1t is the difference be
| tween civilization and savagery. Peo-

therefore be honest and popular.

A chaplain in d prison said lately it
would do most of US good to spend six
months in strict confinement, subject
to discipline and plain fare. Many in
! stances are cited of prisoners who
entered as invalids and came out q
robust men. 1t is a sad commentary
on this liberty we are SO fond of.

In the end only good men become
heroes; only good measures finally

I to man in terms of His future power
that we have neglected to interpret
Him in terms of His present power.
He is life's renewer here and now. His
spirit in the world is the spirit of
eternal youth 1t is the rejuvenating
power that constantly transforms
mems lives.
In fine the Easter message must
mean infinitely more to US if we
realize Christ's high purpose in His
world. We need and want now, in
our everyday life, I'm every form of
that life, the resurrection power of
| Christ AS a matter of fact, we must
have 1t; the world today is groping.
cropping for some new form of leader
ship, for some new inspiration to
larger and better things. 1t is tired
of many of it's old world systems, 1t
is restless, disconnected, distracted;
! increasingly it becomes evident that
the power of living Christ imparts
to man his hope and his assurance.
X K x
We believe Jesus to be "the Resur-
rection and the Life: we believe Him
to be the revealer of Immortality and
the only one who has spoken to man
authoritatively. But we also believe
that His impaired resurrection pow er
may be consciously realized now and
here. Toward the close of his strange
and chequered life Napoleon, on St.
Helena. came gradually to understand
both the magnitude and the majesty
of the life of Jesus. AS he approached d
the end of his own meteoric career
he came to realize that his power
and, indeed, the power of all men
like him, however great, was incon-
seQuential compared with the sover-
eign power of Christ. Speaking to
one of his former marshals, he bade
him compare the influence of the
worlds great men with that which
proceeded from the Man of Nazareth;
he called attention to the ephemeral
character of all forms of human en-
terprise and to the methods of their
achievement. Turning to Christ, he
declared that He had drawn the world
to Him solely by the power of His
love At last Christ had become real
to the dying emperor.
This world of ours has gone throug Ii
it's awful Gethsemane of suffering,
and it still realizes the bitterness of
it's griefs and disappointments. How
shall 1t be renewed? Yes, how shall
it be resurrected? Surely by expert

of Him whose triumph on Easter
day focuses the worlds vision and
compels it's reverent interest and de-
votion.
