LES PARC DDES BOXING MAKE MEN "Manly" Art ARMY RECORDS SAY i By JACK XAIT. HE fight-bill boosters are making capital of the claim that boxing is a manly art which helps to de velop the fighting spirit in the soft and flabby nation upon which it wants to wish itself. Nothing like it. There is nothing manly or upbuilding about prize fighting, and I say it to who have -crossed the continent to see a mill Fresh Pie Plant, bunch I'i pounds 5 Washington Crisps, 27?

and have devotedly attended championship and other aliuring matches for years. Not to my knowledge has one of the professional scrappers actually enlisted. Benny Leonard prcss-agented himself as a soldier immediately after the Mitchell fight: but I see that he is still sparring for the coin. As for the rest, their gallantry has never been questioned; it hasn't event been mentioned. . Jess W'illard. the overgrown ham who claims the world's heavy-weight title, is in New Tork. posing about and showing his shape to the gaping circus thousands. As for war huh! He was the only "attraction" in New Tork who refused to appear at a French soldiers' benefit. AVhen war was announced AVillard tried a timely bit of plugging. He did what the other stallcrs and cheaters did. He wried a flo'svery telegram of cheer and fireworks to the President and asked what he could do. Captain Kenney of the Chicago recruiting district answered it for him. He told him that he could enlist and fight that was what he could do. "Willard hid for several days so the messengers wouldn't find him. Then he signed a circut contract and ducked. AVherever he has gone he has been besieged by newspaper men who askxl fUm why, if he was a fighter, he didn't fight. The most recent interview that me my eye is typical, rich, and calculated to turn your stomach. "L.et other men that, make less money than I do go to war; I can't sacrifice my best years by going away. There are plenty of loafers and boys out of work let them go," Willard is said to have said. That's the kind of manliness that the prize ring breeds. With almost no exception the wellknown pugilists are within the prime period of life for soldier-work. AVhy don't they go where they'll be in some real fighting if their game builds fighters? All my life I have been an, exponent of the now proven to be fallacious theory that pugilism and boxing made vigorous, courageous men. Never again for me. The college athletes to a man are doing their duty. The football players, the baseball players, the golfers, the tennis boy. all of them. Kven the professional ball players are drilling and many of ihem will go. But what of Tackey MacFarland. Mike Oil. bo us, Dillon. L v i n s k j Tvicli ic Mit.hel. AVelling. Dundee. Jlandot, White. Morris. Fulton. Nelson. Welsh, Kilbane. Cross. IXiry, Knockout Brown. Moha, Williams, Herman. Langford. McVey and the other well-known pugilists? Isn't there one amongst them? I've throwr the two pairs of boxing gloves out of my boys' playroom. I've come to the conclusion that boxing engenders corruption, graft, bad odors and unrleasant society.

Sunday is going to be a pippin of a day for baseball, according to the signs the weatherman is making, and I'arduhn park Rhould be packeu to its limit for the best game of the year. The Chicago Giants, a powerful colored team, will be Hammond's opponents, and when th "smokes" play one can count on a stiff battle. "When Joe Green brings his Giants to Hammond next Sunday the fans will watch a team of the fastest colored boys playing semi-pro ball out of Chicago. Jf Hammond wins Sunday's game it will mean as much as beating the best City League club." This Is Manager Bill Howard's version of the "dark skina" and Bill ought to know. Last year Hammond won the first game from the Giants and the second contest went ten innings and the visitors won. It was too late in the year to play the rubber so Sunday's game will be the dciitiing one. Joe Green has strengthened his team considerably and ' without doubt Hammond Jias its season's stiffest preposition to buck against Sunday. Fardubn a Sticker. Taul Tarduhn has given Hammond baseball fans a team that they can be proud of. The weather has knocked attendance sorely and Paul has lost money on every game but he's sticking. He's losing money to give Hammond a firstclass ball club., and the first-class is backed up with five straight victories and the leadership in the Chicago City League. Now it's up to the people of Hammond to show theTr appreciation by turning out strong Sunday. On Decoration Day Chicago's favorite,
