SOJ!? HAS ARRIVED
instruction in Army Camps
Has Developed Intelli
gent, Fearless Crop of
Ring Artists
BENNY LEONARD AGREES
By JAMES S. CAROLAN
THE rlngr performers of the past and
th "majority of the present -'day
artists ftalned their knowledge of boxlns i
in most InBtanoee In Uie street. Thoy
were fighters 'by Instinct at least those
that BInd anything' like prominence In
the came. Those that reached the top
easily could be recognized. They were
the oties that Used their brains as well,
as h'nd and feet to combat the blind,
rushing drives of their opponents.
But" the boxers of the future will be
an entirely different set. The ladp who
wilt entertain after the present crop lias
Kl outlived its usefulness will be the brainy
ocys. those who never take their eyes
off the other fellow and who at all times
are trying to outguffss their adver
saries. Taught by Experts
TIiq reason for this decided change In
the class of boxers Is the training re
uelved In army camps. There thou
sands of boys acquired their first ltnowl
odgo' of hoxlmr fropi experts, veteran
ring artists skilled In the art of boxing.
Ulrot-hnnd knowledge from experts
never Is forgotten and once the pupil
masters the fundamentals It Is only u
matter of time, providing Ills physical
condition Is perfect, until he Is a lender.
A few nights ago Dllly Gibson,
veteran judge of, fighting talent and the
man who piloted Benny Leonard to a
championship, wns viewing one of the
preliminaries at the Olympian Two un
skilled but willing boys were fighting.
They gave their best, but crashed Into
each other without any t,onse of direc
tion. They fought" Instinctively and
without thought. This didn't appeal to
the observing Gibson.
Message From' Giheoil
"You can sny what you want about
army life," Gibson sputtered, "I know It
has worked wonders with thousands of
boys. The one sport which made thou
sands of fighting men Is boxing. The
Government has approved of It and now
realizes clearly what It meant In de
veloping uch an effective fighting force.
For mora than a year' thousands o,
powerful youths have been schooled dili
gently In tho, art of boxing. Watch out
for these boys t. They have the makings
of cKarnmonfi. '
Gibson Hesitates When
Oregon Promoters Offer
100 Per Cent of Receipts
Did you erer Jirnr of n promoter
ordering a fighter 100 per cent of the
receipts? Well. tll rrnlly linppeneil,
and the Multnonmli Clnh, or Port
land, Ore., one of the flnent nthletle
clubs In the country, made thin unique
offer to linve Ilenny I.fonnnl bos
tliero next spring,
AVIirn the proposition w com
munlrntril to Itllly Glbaon he ques
tioned the offer,
"Will the receipts total 82.SB?"
fltlmon wired the generoun Oregon
Ian. "It lopka too good to be
genuine."
The reply wn speedy. "The offer
tnnda. We'll give Leonard 100 per
cent or a guarantee of (3300."
Gibson l n't going to pa up the
natch, but he I still undecided
whether to take the guarantee or
gamble on the gate. '

For submarine outrages for Zeppelin raids for ruined

What shall be done with the workers of abomination, from
