 ''1ilk" o'L.euehlin, vel known and popular light announcer of Hartford. is going to move to Caiif0rAia next month where he will make Ais home in the future. The winter climate in these parts has been dragging him down physically of late and he has been forced to make the change. He is employed by an insurance com pany in Hartford and he may be added to the staR out on the coast.
 s'6ilk"' osed to announce the aE:a- teur. hghts fer the Mohawk A. C. whs that club was operating at the ftats AFmory and at the Tabs hall Hs has . large circle of friends in this city who will be sorry to see him 70.
 A series of dances will be con- ducted at Arcadia hall by the Cres- cent A. C. The first of the series will be run Saturday night and will continue for four nights. Exhibition boxing bouts will open the affair and these will be followed by dancing. The Crescent A. C. orchestra will furnish the music.
 A diamond ring, now on display in Perkins' Jeweiry store. will be awarded to the woman being ad- judged the best waltxer for the ser- les of four nights.
 According to C. F. Wagner, match- maker for the club, efforts will be made to secure Willow Brook park for open air boxing shows. Was ner considers the price of S1:5 per night set upon the park by the park board as too high.
 He states that with this price and the expense of setting up his ring. setting chairs, having lights strung. and hiring an army of policemen, the expenses for the shows would be Irohibitive. Because of the openness Of tho stadium at Willow Brook park, large number of rolicerien would be required to protect the 'ox office.
 Wagner considers SIS q top price for the use of the park and he states that he will offer this proposition to the board at the next opportunity.
 Some members of the board have been quoted as saying that they don't care whether the park is used for boxing or not. They state that that is the reason why the price has been set at such . high figure. Propo- nents of open air boxing here reply tha: the board has been spending considerable money of late in lm- protements which are appreciated. but the rental from Willow Brock park would 60 towards making m1re changes end would help greatly the park board treasury.
 Just what the outcome of the pres ent discussion will be, will have to await the appearance of Mir. Wagner before . meeting of the park board
 Louis Chiapetti, pro at the SeQuin Golf club, in commenting on the feat of Horton Smith in winning the international pro tourney in France stated that it is no surprise to him.
 Smith and Chia petit played around together in Jacksonville, Fla. during the past winter and the seQu,n pro declares that Smith is the coming Bobby Jones of pros" He says tiat Smiths stroke is even and rnpcr- turbed al, through and whether he gets in trouble or not. his mental balance is not upset.
 He thinks that Smith is due to make | great showing in the open this year and that, although he wouldn't predict that Smith would win tho event. he is better than an even bet to capture first honors. Some of the greatest golfers pre- dict that Smith will be far ahead of the entire field in a year or two and Chiapetti agrees fully with this pre- diction.
