liminary naval conference about
October"

lateral discussions which Great
Britain has scheduled with France.
ITALY. and Russia. These bilateral
discussions are expected to begin
In September.
The purpose OF the preliminary
conference would be to discuss a
possible agreement In naval limita-
ton, the whole to be consummated
at a formal conference. Is provided
In the Washington treaty of 1892, at
some future date.
1t was stated here that the date
for the formal conference which.
under the treaty. Is supposed to be
held sometime in 1885, is still "in-
definite as ever" Consequently. a
preliminary conference would de-
eide the fate Of the formal confer

cept the British suggestion.
It was said the British govern

treaty originated with the United
Stats.
However. the United States could
issue a call for the conference any
where. including Londcn.

Paula Stone is not only a good

i mean that she has stuck to her
instructions and refused to kid
herself when things were going
wrong.
Without practice, she was
called upon to play in a foursome
with her father, Fred Stone. Near
the end of the round she was
missing her tee shots badly. The
rest Of the foursome wanted to
play another Is, but Paula re-

Instead Of playing she put in
the afternoon on the practice tee.
She found that her left arm was
not swinging back properly. She
was raising the club up with arms
and hands instead Of first wind

The tarpon would start TO make a

Realizing that they are In for the
toughest tests they have had In a
long time, Henry Hook. No. / ban
tam operating in the Southwest, and
"Guero' Lopez. grim little Monter-
rey battler who has never lost a
fight III this section, are training
hard for their fight at the v. r. w.
arena Monday night.
This fight has all the elements Of
a natural" and II should bring out
a capacity crowd.
Lopez has a strong following over
northern Mexico and he Is rated as
one OF the best bantamS in the south
ern Republic. Brownsville fans be-
came convinced Of his class when
they saw him cut down Midget An
tee and Barrilito in decisive fsshion
without wasting time on preliminary
flouriSheS.
AT that time the fans asked for a
Lopez-Hook fight but suitable terms
could not be arranged.
Hook came TO the Valley three
weeks ago and easily defeated Kid
Bruno SalaZar, erStwhile favorite,
and Kid Laredo. a clever boxer, with
out extending himself. Hook Is work
ing for a crack at Baby Casanova
and Arizmendi. the last named being
the champion recognized by the ~.
Y. boxing commission.
Lopez should give Hook a much
better fight than did Bruno and La
redo; and 1t Is no certainty that
Lopez will not win. The grim little
fellow is not spectacular but his
short. accurate punching has wtlted
every opponent the local boxing pro-
moter has been able TO book for
him.
Hook Is working out in the v. ".

work.
