Calls American Fighting Places Dirty Barns Filled With Haze of Tobacco Smoke and a Disgrace to Sportdom. By H. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK. Jan. 22. When Ees Parcy took a notion recently to go to a few American light clubs and see how things are done in this country he didn't have even a hunch as to what he was getting- into. When he returned ami washed the smoke out of his eyes he save vent to his feelings. "In Australia." he declared, "they wouldn't stand for those dirty tarns end that haze of smoke. When a fellow has to exert himlf he also has to breathe, and any one who would ask him to work in smoke-filled disgraceful arenas like those I have seen should be barred from staging bouts. I suppose I will have to go through it if I tight in New York, but I'll never quit kicking about it." And Darcy is right. Here in the largest city in the world, there are very few fight clubs where big bouts can be held, and they look worse than Darcy described them. In two of the biggest clubs only one entrance is provided and it becomes so jammed it is difficult to get through the door. Exits are almost as bad. The floors are bad, the light is bad and the ventilation is bad. Smoke gathers in great rings and blankets. It fills the spectators' eyes with tears and the boxers with agony and resentment. The condition is almost intolerable. Madison Square Garden is not in use as a boxing arena. It is better than the other enclosures. In the west, where they have big arenas and plenty of good bouts, there are clean arenas, where smoking Is forbidden and the edict enforced, and where entrances and exits are so prevalent that an army could rass in and out without any disciplne, in half the time it takes to fill and empty one of the New Y'ork fight clubs. IDA AND RETURN GO George Knockout Ilrown. Chirago si "Wildman of the ring, and pudgy Robert Moha, the Milwaukee Caveman, compose the main attraction of a trio of glove battles, all scheduled for ten rounds, that John Wagner of Racine is offering for the entertainment of his boxing patrons tonight. These well known and willing warrior crashed head-on in a Cotham arena not many weeks ago and did so well in the way of dishing up a real scrap that they got columns in the New York papers the next morning. The majority of the experts slipped Brown the popular verdict. Moha has been anxious to redeem himself. Brown thinks he can repeat. Hence the return mixup tonight. FRENCH BOXER KILLED IN ARMY AEROLPANE PARIS, Jan. 22. Georges Bernard, French middleweight champion pugilist, was killed yesterday while making a flight in a military aeroplane, lie was twenty-ono years old. Bernard was a member of the aviation corps, having enlisted at the outbreak of the war.

GREAT GAME WITH VALPO

(Special to The Timks.) CROWN POINT, I.'I.. Jan. 22. Playing a game that won every ounce of loyalty and admiration a well packed gymnasium of Crown Point basketball fans possessed, the Crown Point high school five won over Valparaiso by a score of 22 to 21 last evening. To important observer net only did Crown Point win over the Yalpo team, but relegated to the rear a severe handicap imposed upon them by numerous off-color decisions of Referee Mead of Hammond. Mead was purposed to be impartial, but some of his decisions smacked of the rankest kind of partiality. and the Crown Toint men were penalized time and time again for technical faults, that were plainly overlooked when the Valparaiso five made the same kind. Not disparaging the playing of the Yalpo live, however, for never was as hard fought and closely contested game been played on the local floor Yalpo closed the first half with a score of 12 to S in its favor.

standstill. Hard, fast and sometimes rough playing featured the game, Pratt of Yalpo taking the count, with only fifteen seconds of play. The Porter county lad. who had played a splendid offensive game, was throw n to the floor face dow n and sustained severe injuries, it being some time before he regained consciousness. For Crown Point, every man on the team covered himself with laurels, the closeness of the score, making the players light desperately for a victory. No protest was made at Referee Mead's decisions by the players as faulty, but they probably had more to do with Crown Point's victory than antjhing else, putting a grim resolve in the players to win in spite of the up-hill game. Nuver did the Crown Point team show to better advantage and never was an audience more pleased with a victory. The litieup was as follows: Valparaiso. Crown Point.

Toung lady pups are rare and when they are remarkably clever boxers with real punches and Also remarkably pretty they are even rarer. Miss Vera Kochm and Miss. Pearl Eaton are all of that and they put on a fast and hard hitting bout in the Passing Show, now on the road. This would sound like a press a?ent yarn were it not for the fact that fight expert3 have watched the yourp: ladies perform and have declared that they have as much class as many of the best prelim lighters. Miss Koehm, the hardest hitting of the two, declares that boxing should be taken up more generally among women.

Roi Fan club, as they had figured to win three gamts without any exertion to the individual bowlers on the team, but the Nagdernans were out for revenge and this indeed they gained. Starting from the first frame of 1he first game the Nagdernans took the lead and were never headed off through the game, even thoigh their opponents had two two-hundred games. The second game was a repetition of the first only with mere fighting spirit and the Nagdernans were proclaimed victors by thirtynine pins. The last game was full of excitement, as the El Roi P'ans were determined to, win at least one game, but the home team was trying hard to win three games, therefore it was- a good contest to witness, for the reason that one side was alternating the lead with the other from beignning to end. The tenth ining which is usually the "bear rat" frame gave a majority to the El Roi Fans and they won by 4 i pins. This contest satisfies the home team that they are making an exeelent showing, when they csn win games from these fast clubs on their home drives. The question arises like this: "What would the Nadgemans roll against these teams on the home alleys of the Nagdernans?" The team leaves the answer to this question to the followers of the game. Friday, Jan. 2Gth at 7:00 p. m. the well known Howard Majors are the opponents of the Nagdernans and a good match can be expected. The scores of last Friday night follow: 1 Sol Taa.
