Pugs and Poets in Alliance

NEW YORK, March 2. An alliance has been staled between poetry, and prize fighting. I'oeins will be exehang-

J ed for punches whib; poets assist pugilists to scale I'arnassus. Harry Kemp, tramp poet of Kansas. and other well known Greenwich vilJ lage poets have undertaken t.t inject

the aesthetic rote into the fistic game, it was announced today. Fegasus now flies over the athletic emporium conducted by "Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien, where Kemp is In training under O'Brien's personal tutelage, for a boxing saturnelia planned to be

held here shortly in which the champi ion American poet-puglist will be (crowned may be with laurel may be j with something else. The fighters' seconds and other attendants all will bo

poets and recite passages frum Keats and Oscar Wilde to revive the fighting songsters. Kemp reads his poetry between rounds with O'Brien much to the de-

j light of the "pugsh" around O'Brien's ; place . Even while exchanging biffs j he woos the mu.se and says after fighting his first six rounds, he wrote the

loviost poem in his career. O'Brien says he absorbs all this poetic atmosphere and Is elated over Kemp's promise to have him writing poetry after six months training. Kemp, according to O'Brien, will be a first rate lighter within six weeks

j maybe not in the champion class, but i tough enough to challenge all comers j in the lightweight poetic class. I All Greenwich Village is agog over ! the coming poet boxing tournament. ) Samuel DeWitt, who writes highbrow

stuff, declined a challenge to meet Kemp on the. ground the Kansas poet is a free verse writer. He has offered to take Kemp provided the latter fights under Skinbure rules. Kemp, today, after wiping the blood

: drawn from his rather Gercian nose j by a mean biff from the artistic hand j of "Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien, de

clared prize fighters have souls. O'Brien handsomely retaliated with a statement denying roets are "nuts." O'Brien seriously announced that under Kemp's Inspiration he has taken on a new mission "vitalizing poets and keeping bodies In attune with their souls." Kemp who Is also deadly In earnest about it fell, says prize fighters have a "higher standards" than poets and artists. "It has been a revelation to me." he said today, "I have discovered that prize fighters are fine gentlemen with souls. They have poets" souls, many of them, and poets' imagination. They have a higher standard than poets or artists." O'Brien, whs Is also known as "Gentleman Jack" O'Brien, because of his excellent education and polished manners, declared a "natural affinity" exists between poetry and prize fighting.

PRO RATA GOLF CLUBS THE LATEST

CHICAGO, March 2 Pro. rata golf clubs apparently are becoming popular, as formal announcement was made yesterday of the organization of the fourth cluh of that type In Chicago. Such clubs, at which one pays as one plays, have been advocated for some time by public links golfers who have not felt financially able to Join private clubs, which extracted a fixed sum each year regardless of how little one plays or How little the member participates In the social adjuncts, which absorb in sorno organizations more than half the income from dues. Fro rata clubs are organized with or without the regular -membership roster, and in some cases have been conducted as private enterprises much us one would operate a skating rink or oth.-r amusement place. The latest form of organization is to enroll about 3(10 members or stockholders who have exclusive use of the link on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, while the course Is open to any golfer of good standing (luring the rest of the week at a greens fee of from 50 cents to $2 a day. It has been found by experience that an average Income of $50 or less a year Irom the possible 500 persons who can sue the links regularly will keep up the course In good shape and ray interest on the investment and a dividend to the owners. None of the pro rata links now In operation provides anything besides golf, but two pro rata clubs now building up in Chlcagw will provide facilities for social functions and other amusements, to be paid for when provided. to be paid for when provided.

rSPECIAl. TO THE TIMES BLOOMIN'GTON, Ind., March 2 That the strongest contenders for the Indiana St;..te High School basketball championship will be among the district teams which next. Saturday win the right tj compete in the regional tournament March 11 a.t Indiana University, is indicated from the record of games played by more than 550 high schools throughout the Mato this year. At least two teams, Vincennes and Franklin, have records unmatched by up-state quintets. Vincennes is conceded the best chance for the state, title, by virtue of a season of tliirtytwo straight victories. Franklin, state champions for the past two years, though not in the 1,000 per cent column on account of two early season defeats, would be a worthy opponent to Vincennes in the finals. Bloomington may have trouble winning from Smithville. Beford should win in the Bedford district. Central High school, of Evansville, has a team

which proved strong enough at one! time to hold Vincennes to a threa- I

! point victory, and doubtless will repr- j

sent the Evansville district. Green- I castle has defeated almost every opponent this year and is the choice for ' the district. Technical or Manual is expected to represent Indianapolis In the regional tournament. Martinsville, tri-state champions, should have n j

opposition in the district. Connersville and Ilichmond both have good teams but thi former Is picked to win the district tournament. Columbus should win without trouble. Winners are doubtful in the Rushville, Scottsburg, Owensville, Brazil, Newcastle and Union City districts.

CITY HALL

BOOKED OR

A CLEAN NG

In the city hall lineup will be Joe "W. Todd, Frank Seliger, Arnold Kunert, Charley Pchonert and John Rae.

2 VOTES FOR BATTLE ROYAL

What Is more popular with a mixed crowd of spectators and fight fans than a knockout bout Eddie Clabby and Harry ICeefa think they can answer that They say a battle royal with five husky colored lads In the ring can engender more thrill in a. gallery of men and women fight fans than a IC. O. punch. This, they say, is based on their unusual success at the diversified ring entertainment they provided Monday night for fight fans of the Oil City. Clabby and Keefe supervised the showput on by the S. O. Athletic Association of Whiting at Slovak Dom, otherwise known as Community Center. The show Included a number of battles. One of these ended In a knockout. But the battle royal was proved the best feature of the evening, Say Clabby and Keefe. Clabby and Keefe will stage another fistic entertainment at an early date. This, too. will be held In Whiting. They haven't announced the date yet. Hundreds crowded the Community Center at the show the other evening. Other hundreds were turned away. A song by Vincent Sell, another by Harry Glair and music by the K. O. band garnished the well-planned bill.

CHICAGO. March 2. Wee Dicky Kerr for several years noted as the White .Sox "midget" burler ad promoted from "deuce' to "ace" only after he stopped the Cincinnati Reds in two games of the memorable world's series of 1319 after Eddie Oicott and Lefty Williams, then the "aces," ft.;i down on the job, bids fair to lose one of bis distinctions, smallest man on the team. According to statistics o:i the thirtythree members of the S..x club, now doing spring training in Texas. Kerr still will be the team's shortest player by an even I h, but hV-,- fifteen pounds more avoirdupois probably will lose to J. Aeosta, young Cuban hurler, his honor of "wee." Kerr stands five feet six Inches and A.f.ta live feet seven inches, but Dicky scales 160 pounds, as against Aeosta's 14.:. The heaviest Individual trying for a place on the club is .T. D. Thompson, recruit hurler from Victoria, B. C, who has 205 rounds over his six feet one inch frame. Shovel Hodge, who came up n yar ago from the Southern Association, is by three inches the longest man o the team, although hi. t-i.t feet six inches towers but little over the entire pitching staff, eleven cf whose seventeen members are six feet or more tall.
