OHIO NEW MECCA
FOR ALL BOXERS
Buckeye State, With Six Cities
Going Full- Blast, Becomes
Harbor of Refuge for
Ring Artists.
a - .
Ohio, the Buckeye state, is now the
country's haven of refuge tor Doxing
persons and their retinue.
Right now boxing is all the rage in
the state which borders on Lake Erie.
There are more than half a dozen of
the largest cities where professional
' bouts are being held at regular inter
vals, and in most cases the bouts are
over a distance from 12ound, no
decision affairs, to 20-round, decision
contests. . . ,
Where Bouts Are Popular.
The following is a list of places
where bouts are now being held and
the number of rounds:
Columbus, 12 rounds, no decision,
to a decision for the Ted Lewis-Bryan
Lowney battle.
Dayton, 20 rounds to a decision.
This is the place where Ted (Kid)
Lewis won 'the welterweight cham
pionship from Jack Brfttcu.
Springfield, 20 rounds to a decision.
Cincinnati, IS rounds to a decision.
Canton, 20 rounds to a decision.
Cleveland, 10 rounds, no decision.
Under Local Regulation.
According to William F. McKin
non, 'matchmaker of the Queensbury
Athletic club of Columbus, the game
is very much on the uplift, in his
home state.
"In Ohio, while there is no boxing
law, there is nothing on the statutes
-which makes it a misdemeanor to hold
boats," says McKinnon. "In most
cities ft is up to the mayor and chief
of police to regulate the boxing. In
Columbus there is a boxing commis
sion which' regulates the game and
keeps it clean, and for this service
5 per cent is deducted to conduct its
affairs." -

heeded to win he war in the shortest
possible time, Representative Medill
McCbrmick of Illinois told the Iiousj

months' tour of the battle fronts. The

tion ovalrpolitical elements in Amer

"The German staff," he said, "must
strive to induce France to make peace
on the score that America will not
make ready in time. That is why the
front from the Alps to the channel
has assumed a greater importance
than at any time since the battle pf
Verdun."
German soldiers deserted in in-

COAL EXPORTS FOR

Fuel Administration - Decides
Ho Much Country Can

Says Garfield. (
(By AMoelited Fresn.)
Washington, Jan. 7. America's
coal exports this year will be limited
strictly to shipments:to be used for
war purposes and to those necessary
in exchange 7 "for commodities the
United States must have. In an
nouncing this policy tonight Fuel Ad
ministrator Garfield declared that in
no event would exports be permitted
to equal in volume those of the year
just ended.
"In view of the existing coal short
age and the great demand here Amer
ica must come first in supplying her
industries and householders with
coal 'said Dr. Garfield tonight.
The new export policy means that
England will be called upon to supply
domestic users in France and Italy.
Producers desiring to export coal to
the allied countries' must show that
shipments are to be used for war pur
poses and must give the war trade"
board the names in every instance of
the final consignee. ,

CUBA HAS AVIATORS
TOHELPU.S. WIN
Corps is Organized from the
Best Families' on the
Island to Do lis Bit ,
the War. V. '
(Correspondence ot The Associated Press.) -
Havana, Cuba, Jan. 7. Colonel
Manuel Coronado, member' of the
Cuban senate and editor of the news
paper La Discusion, has added a new
phase to Cuba's alliance with the
United States in the war against Ger
many by organizing an aviation unit
which, it is announced, will be of
fered to France, with complete equip
ment, in the near future. Though
other means of co-operation have as
sumed shape here since Cuba's'decla
ration of war against Germany on
April 8 last, it is believed probable,
from the enthusiasm shown "by its
members, that the "Escadrille Cuba
ine," as the flying unit will be called,
will be the first body of fighting men
from Cuba to serve on French soil.
Colonel Coronado's plans called for
a body of twenty-five trained aviators
to comprise the escadrille, but already
thirty-three youths, who are represent
tatives of the best families of Cuba,
have volunteered to take the pre
scribed aviation course and individ
aally to bear the expense of their air
planes and equipment. Many of the
volunteers for the escadrille are grad
uates of French universities, and all
speak French and are ajyiation en
thusiasts. . Senator Coronado has
just returned from New York, where
he conferred with officials of the Aero
club of America and airplane manu
facturers over the details of the esca
drille's organization. (
. "I believe 'that the escadrille will be
the most practical and at the same
time the mqst appropriate way of
showing Cuba's sympathy with the
cause of the allies," said Colonel Cor
onado. The colonel has asked the
Navy department in Washington for
an arrangement by- which the Cuban
aviators may undergo their prelimi
nary training at the navy aviation
school at Pensacola, Fla.
While for obvious reasons the de
tails of many of the co-operative war
measures of Cuba and the United
States are not permissible of publica
tion, substantial progress has been an
nounced officially here in the co-or-dinative
work of the Cuban and
United States army and navy gen
eral, staffs. . .
Cuban military commissioners will
shortly announce the promotions of
288 officers m the Cuban army, in
keeping with the enlargement pf the
island's active military force for pos
sible duty later in Europe.
