PANCHO-[ENCHO
FIGHT HERE
IS OFF

Kid Pancho, San Antonio flyweight,
has declined to meet Kid Lencho, re-
cent conqueror of Rabbit Palmer and
Mickey Cromwell by the knockout
route, in their scheduled January i
bout at Kelly Field.
The announcement was made By
Pancho's manager, Don Curley.
Curley also said that Pancho's re-
fusal to meet Lencho had resulted in
dissolution Of the Pancho-Curley part
nership and hereafter Pancho would
handle his own ring affairs or get m
other manager.
Pancho is said to have declared he
would not receive enough money from
the Kelly Field bout to warrant his
meeting so clever a battler as Len
cho.
Curley stated today that Pancho
would have received about $500 FOR
the bout. which, he said, he believed
was sufficient in view Of the fact that
Pancho lost his last bout in San Al
tonic to Johnny Mccoy by a decisive
margin.

MACK PREDICTS
HOTTEST RACE
IN HISTORY

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30.-P)-
Connie Mack thinks the American
League race in 1926 will be the tough
est in years: perhaps the toughest in
the history of the league.
Il dent see any one club that does
not have a chance to win out" he
says. Il know the Athletics will be
a contender, and don't mistake the
Yankees. That club will be back
fighting. too.
Washington is always a hard club
to beat. st. Louis. under Sisler,
showed what it could do last season.
Detroit. and the White Sox. under
Eddie Collins, win make rough going.
Don't forget, too, that the Red Sox
pitchers at the end Of last season
were going great. / really think that
there is going TO be more competition
IN the American League than we
have had for years. Last season it
was a two-club race, but it won't be
like that next year.

that he had had this underwear sewn

BAD FEATURE.
: IS STATE

5. A. School Head Urges
Minimizing of Com
mercialism.

The troubles Of the State In
terscholastic League in its foot
r BAN race have prompted some
strong statements about the future
sof high school athletics, notably
that of " C. Lennon, chairman
OF the board of education in Dal-
las. who predicted the finish of the
sport of football in the schools
s-because OF its growing commercial
.r1sm and domination of school life.
YIN this connection. the views of
Marshall Johnston. superintend-
1.ent of the San Anronio school sys-
len and former principal at
Breckenridge High School. are
timely and interesting. Follow
ing is a statement Mr.. Johnston
prepared for The Light on the
subject.
If high school athletics are care.
fully organized and wisely admins.
tered the results are well worth while.
1T is a fact. however, that many
evils may and do creep in. Whenever
there is a possibility of gain then
there is also a possibility of loss.
In spite of the care taken by the
officials Of the Intescholastic League.
conditions are not always as we wish
them to be.
NOT ALL BOOKS.
at Is often said that athletics dis
Tract boys from their studies. How
ever, education is not wholly a matter
Of studying books.
"Nevcrtheless, football season that
is carried beyond the Christmas holt
days cannot be otherwise than detri-
mental to some members of the oppos-
ing teams. Not only will scholarship
suffer, hut the boys are likely to over
train.
For these and other reasons /
have never been in favor Of the state
football championship contest The
season Is too long drawn out and the
gate receipts become of too much i'm
portance. The district victory should
be sufficient honor for any high school
football team.
= EXPENSE is HEAVY.
AS the coach is judged by the re-
salts of the contest, he necessarily con-
esntrates his efforts on the excep-
tional athletes. The heavy expense
connected with the equipment of the
tom, such as cost OF games and trips,
officials, coaches, doctor bills, medi-
cal supplies. trophies, etc, tend to
Surround football with a strong com
mercial atmosphere.
But, as the business manager must
dfray the expense of all forms Of
SCHOOL sport from the football games.

Interest Of the spectators rather than
