Prize Fighters Get Leave to Quit Trenches and Fight With Fists (By TTnlted Press.) LONDON, TeU. S (By mail.) Frirafigliter soldiers expect to keep on flg'litlius' for side purses to augment tbe King's SMUlngr, despite the complaints of less pugnacious com. rsdes. Jimmy Wilde, fly-weight champ having- at last joined the grymcastlc staff, is hopeful of meeting' upstarts Just as the heavier boxers have done, thanks to the sportsmanship of their commanding-officers.

"Professional fig-htera are often j granted leave of absence to eng-ag-e j in fights when business men -who i gave up their enterprises are unable j to obtain any liberty," wrote one irate soldier. "Ia some regiments j stationed near London it is a abye- ; word to say you are a coming chain- i pion, to obtain leave." j Bed Cros relief, however, has been largely farthered by the free serv- i Ices of various boxing champs, j

CHIEF MEYERS' FIX Chief Meyers will have to stand a big- cut in salary this year or leave the Kobins fiat. The Indian's contract witli the Giants, w-hlcn was signed daring- the rederal League war, -was taken over by the Brooklyn club a year ago. It expired last fall, and CoL Ebbets has lopped off S2.70O in the new contract that Meyers has been asked to sign. Meyers received $2,700 as his share cf the world's series with the Ked Sox, so that he will be out that much if he accepts Ebbet's offer. The chief has lost much of his ld skill and the Brooklyn club is ready to spend $2,70O or perhaps more for another catcher to fill his shoes.
