Test of Yank Track and Field Athletes Starts BBy l>\VIS J. WALSH. K\V YORK, -Inn. 29.—Quite an adequate idea »f what your worthy t'ncle Samuel may be able to produee at the Olympie games will be gained within the next two days at the Millrose meet, starting tonight at Madison Square garden. Always the bellringer of the indoor seasnti, tile games have taken on added significance this year because of the proximity of tlie international championships. The Millrose meet is frankly a test of America's strength or weakness in traek and field sports. It will show, for example, Just how fur Joie Ray may have come back to tlie speed he knew at tills time last year. Ray has been oil form this season. Another question that will be settled will be Amer ica's status In the middle distance. This will bo accomplished through the medium of an east-against-west relay and 600-yard special race for the Post troplty. In the former, nearly all of the great quarter mll ers of the country—“Deak” Wolters, Vernon Ascher, Allan Woodring, H. A!. Fitch and Ray Podge-*-will ap pear. America was lamentably weak' in the quarter-mile at Antwerp In 1920, but Wolters, Woodring and Ascher have given promise of better this this year. The 600-yard special will send vir tually the same field to the post, with the addition of Tom Campbell, Allan Hclffrich and several others. Below the quarter, however, the American monopoly on sprinti..g strength will be demonstrated dur ing tlie games. The special sprint events will number among their en trants Afurchison, McAllister, Lever end Scholz, all of whom can and xvlll beat even time for the century under the lash of competition. The only absent star will be Charley Paddock, who is under suspennion. MeTigue to Box . Georges in May New York.

The Bisons arrived in town last night from Dcs Moines where they played Coach Harry Bell's Tigers, losing both ends of a two-game se ries by close scores. North Dakota is noted for having a strong five man defense and a good combination of basket shooters who play fine teamwork.

Mason had been label ed “another Jem Driscoll” and much was made of his claim, nr his press agent’s that he would "force Benny l,eonard into a match,” and all that sort of thing. Mason It appears was lucky to win out over Harry. Kid Brown, a good average everyday American light weight. The English lightweight champion won't worry any of our top-notchers. at least not yet awhile. English lightu-eights are in a class with John Bull's heavyweights, or very near it. In the last 17 years Britain has sent us just three light weights. worthy of notice or fistic worry. They were Freddy Welsh, who ultimately won the world's light weight championship from an Airier lean, Willie Ritchie. Matt Wells and Johnny Summers. Owen Moran, one of the greatest featherweights that ever lived, later developed into a lightweight. Up achieved the distinction of being the first lighter to knock out llallling Nelson. That is, to put Bat out cold. This was shortly after Nelson had lost his lightweight title to Ad Wolgast in their terrifle 40-round carnage. Freddy Welsh came here as early as 1906 from Pontypridd, Wales. Welsh became a ren.orkably clever boxer, particularly on the defense. In 1908 he fought the brilliant Packey McFarland a 20-round draw. Freddy was good enough to whip Matty Bald win and Willie Ritchie, among others. latter Ritchie arose to the world's lightweight throne and fought Welsh for the title in lamdon. This was a foolish move on tlie part of Ritchie. The Kngllsh viewpoint on what con stitutes winning hexing is very dif ferent from that in this country. Ritchie as a boxer did not compare with Welsh. Willie was a courageous, vicious fighting man. but he was un able to inflict a great deal of damage on Welsh. The decision was a close one—with a vengeance, stitchle forced the fighting all the way, but ..Welsh received decision. Kugcne CorH, the referee, later an nounced that Welsh had won by one point. It may have been a blow missed or landed somewhere, perhaps it was one blocked. That gives you an Idea of how cl^se that bout was. Matt Wells was about on a par with Welsh in the matter of clever ness. Wells was the first boxer to shatter tlie awesome charm that sur rounded the name of Knockout Brown. The latter was coming to the front in leaps and hounds when he stumbled across the Knglishman's patch. They met in the Garden In I 1911, and Wells was the winner. Brown's baffling style of milling with the right hand and right foot ad vanced had no terrors for Wells. Promising New Middle Fighter New York, Jan. 29 —Boxing critics today hailed Paul Berlenbach as a possible world's middleweight cham pion in the making as the result of the sixth round knockout of Frank Carbone of New York, crafty veteran at Madison Square Garden last night. It was Berlenbach's 2Jd consecutive knockout In as many appearances. tn stopping Carbone, the youth ac complished something that was be yond the efforts of five middleweight champions, George Chip, A1 McCoy, Mike O'Dowd, Johnny Wilson and Harry Greb. Carbone had never be fore suffered a knockout. Joe Jackson to Startle Fans 11 jr tiMflatH TrcM. Milwaukee. Wig., Jan. 29.^-Deciar ing that Charles A.

In fact, it is what made America old. It originated in the 1.3th century in France. Ever since then 13 has |m>cii recognised as an unfortunate number. But croquet is father of golf. Maybe it’s its mother. But it was played for six centuries in Europe before first croquet expert smug gled himself into America. He came over here around 1843 and he is the reason why our present immigration laws are so strict. It was all the rage in America, but was killed by bicycle riding. Any sport that can be killed by bicycle riding pnAt have been good. Its special feature is that it af fords mature opportunity for ex treme deliberation and a chance to concentrate on the playing thereof. When it becomes one's turn to play, a chance is afforded to take in deliberate survey of the exciting situation, and thus determine in an unhurried way the best methods of manipulating the wooden spheroids. The lure and fascination <?t cro quet is so great that the civil wa. was terminated abruptly in fiv> years in order to give Genera Grant and General I.ee a chance ti get home and defend their croque laurels.

With a Lan dis at the helm, it would be immune from interference.” The s p e a k er was Senator James Walk er, author of the box ing and baseball laws in New York. He spoke at the baseball writers’ banquet at 'ai^ early hour this morning, while milk cans rattled and a great city slept. Those present did not sleep. They were railed to attention by the sen ator's words—an appeal for a na tional head of boxing. Baseball has Its f-andis, the motkm pictures their Will Hays and The theater Its Augustus Thomas. The senator was asking for a supreme head of boxing. He did not outline a plan whereby this fortuitous state of affairs might be brought about. Merely sounded a call for it "Boxing is a great sport, and con ducted as a sport, it is a fine thing, ’ Senator Walker said. "However, there is an inclination on the part of those who hold the destiny of the game in their hands to abuse the cc^tfidence that is placed in them. Boxing needs a commissioner of un doubted repute, such as Judge Lan dis. He conducts baseball In a man ner that brooks no criticism. If box ing had such a man at its head, I believe that the sport could be saved from itself." The senator, it is admitted, holds the destiny of boxing in his hands, so far as New York state is con cerned. Faced with a multitude of reform bills at .Albany, where the common impulse is to legislate the sport out of existence. Walker has been quoted as saying that he "would not walk across the aisle to save boxing." His message to day was. in effect, an appeal to the better element connected with the game. He wanted this element to start something that might result in national supervision and national authority in conduct of boxing. Jo Anderson ins Singles Title in Tennis Tourney Melbourne, Australia.
