Memories of TrainingC Camp ]. Days Revived by Visit
 of Gen. Holbrook

Memories of training camp days during the World War were revived for Gov. George A. Parks yesterday when Maj Gen. Willard Ames Holbrook, U. s. A. Retired, paid him a. visit while the steamer Yu- kon was in port. The General was Commanding General of the Ninth Division of the National Army at Camp Sheridan, Alabama, and Gov. Parks was attached to the same division as Gas Instruc- ton Officer with rank as Cap- tain.
 T hope I wasn't too hard on you, youngsters in those days" Gen Holbrook remarked yesterday. And the Governor, whose recollections of military service probably have been softened by the passing years, assured him he hadn't been.
 Gen. Holbrook's military career started back in 1885 when he grad uated from West Point and was commissioned second Lieutenant of cavalry. It ended with retirement ill 1924 at which time he. had at tained the rank of Major General and was Chief of the Cavalry sec- ton of the Army. In the interim he had seen service in the War with Spain, in Cuba, in the Phil ippine Insurrection and the World War
 He is completing tour of Alas ka that took him to Fairbanks and back. He is seventy-one years of age and still going strong. He makes his home in Washington, D, c.

D. K. PRIMO

NEW YORK, April 6.-That
Primo Carnera is to be re-
instated by the New York box
ing commission and put back
into circulation to vie with the
Statue of Liberty and a trip
through Chinatown as things
worth seeing in New York became
rather apparent today.
AL Singers signing with Leon
See, the chief manager of Car
nera, was taken as the tip-off.
Singer, former lightweight
champion of the world, learned
something about business punch
ing a cash register in a soda
fountain before he became rich,
famous, and finally considerably
declasSe in the ring. and he GER
tainly is too learned a young
man to dash up a ;one-way street.
In other words, Mr.. Singer
is about to stage a comeback,
and if he did not know that
Mons. See would soon be re-
stored to good standing, along
with Carnera, the former light
weight king would never have
been signed with this See per-
son.
Right now, and until Carnera
and See are reinstated, Singer
will be as busy as a dead canary,
for he can't fight in New York.
Outside of New York there are a
few places he can legally exhibit
himself, but except in this great
city the former champion is rated
somewhat of a cheese and his
drawing power something like that
of a Swiss bellringer.
