AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIND A REAL GHAMP By GEORGE R. HOLMES. All things come to those whe wait. It's an aged wheeze; apparently one that has a little truth about its person. The pugilistic world has been wait- ing, lo! these many years for the clouds to roll away from the middle- weight tangle and reveal a champion. In a seemingly unending procession Eddie M¢Goorty, Jimmy Clabby, Mike Gibbons, Jack Dillon, Al MecCoy, George Chip, Young Ahearn and scores of dimmer lights have passed before the assembled multitude and then faded, bickering and quarreling, into the background. But by this time next month there should be a middleweight champion for ‘the public to shove its shekels through the wicker gate to see. Ac- cording to the old reliable dope the championship lies between three men —Mike Gibbons, Packey McFarland and Les Darcey. Who is that guy? He’s the guy that put the sleep-kiss on Eddie McGoorty’s chin down in Australia not long since, thereby winning for himself at least consid- eration. There won’t be much dispute about the winner of the McFarland-Gibbons concealed quarrel being considered the classiest thing on the middleweight sheM. But how’s he going to get away from a meeting with this Darcey person is hardly visible. MecGoorty for a long time has been considered one of the few real claimants to the champion- ship, and in some parts of Wisconsin, he has been considered THE cham- pion. Therefore, the man who can put him away should not be lightly considered. . The field has practically narrowed down to these three.. George Chip is too aged, Young Ahearn is a mite too heavy, and besides, he’s going where there is some real fighting .and no weight bickering—to Europe. Jimmy Clabby should horn into the argument somewhere, but Jeems hasn’t displayed his wares-for several months, and in his last few times out he didn’t win a lot of glory for him- self. That leaves Al McCoy and Jack Dillon. Al admits he owns the championship now, as a Tesult of his hanging a knockout on George Chip. Al is about the only one who does admit it, however. His actions out of the ring are about the only thing that stamp him a champ—he seldom fights and he demands big chunks of money when he does. If Jack Dillon could still make 158 pounds and be strong, he’d have to be considered in this thing all the way. But he can’t, at least he hasn’t for months, and doesn’t seem to care to. Why not have the winner of the Packey-Mike affair meet this Darcey and settle it all. Then there’d be a real champ in every department for the first time in many years. Montreal is making a bid for the pugilistic spotlight. Twenty-round battles to a decision are going to be allowed there before it comes time to I TR R R R e R R e * STANDINGS OF TEAMS IN DOUBLES * HANDICAP MATCHES BEMIDJI TENNIS CLUB * ki**i*liii**#Ki*’k*#*i*i#i****i**i Barker and Denu (15) ....

A. there with prospeen for a-good season. - ' Montreal in wartime, wuh most of the men at the front, doesn’t look like an especially alluring field, buit |- Burke is confident he can put it over. The club could draw some patronage from New York for a championship affair, but it's too far away . for Gotham sports to travel to see the smaller fry, especially if they’re go- ing to see decision fights there. ENGLAND’S PART IN WAR DOES NOT PLEASE FRANCE (Continued from Paxe 1.) “From England there have come illusionary ‘catchwords on which we have lived for months and which, af- ter benefiting us for a moment,-have ended by doing us harm. Was it not Lord Kitchener who evolved that for- mula so_pregnant with hope but so tardy in delivery: ‘Our forces will continue to expand unceasingly while those of the enemy will increas- ingly diminish.” " Not Expressed in Private. Hanotaux did not express this criticism. of England in private, or behind England’s back. He said it in print, to England’s face. Nor is that all he said. “The English min- isters were prodigal of magnificent phrases,” he writes, “but their work- shops were idle.” I asked an Englishman why Eng- land still held only her 30-mile front, why Kitchener’s promise of more and still more soldiers had not been made good. His reply, in effect, ‘'wag that Kitchener himself had made good his promise. He had raised the soldiers. . ““There are three million soldiers or thereabouts in England,” he said. “But they are equipped with WOOD- EN GUNS!” So admitted my English friend. Many Lack Equipment. “There are men a plenty,” he went on, “but they lack the necessary equipment. They have uniforms, or most of them have, but many lack belts, knapsacks and the like. And of the thousands and thousands of recruits one sees drilling around Lon- don daily, very few have rifles. They are using the sticks used before the war in Ulster with other imitations made since.” The French whole-heartedly admit that England furnished the broom which was largely instrumental in sweeping German ships and German commerce from the seas. “But French ships have not been idle either,” they declare. kept the Austrian fleet cooped up all winter and we have all we could with the fleet in order directions. All we ask: -‘Has England, like our- selves, done.ALL she is able to do.’ " No doubt France and England will stand together without faltering right on through to the end, but now there is no doubt about it, more than at any time since hostilities - com- menced, France is inclined to ask|L. England to get a move on, to quit squabbling at home and get into the fight. For every hour the war is prolonged means many lives snapped off. Not the least part of the resent- ment in France is caused by British insularity. In England, as Georges Clemenceau, the former prime min- ister, writes, ““After all Calais is only Calais!” Calais is in France, a for- eign country. The measures taken around London are an admission that Calais and Boulogne may fall into German hands. The French feel that -if England does her duty the thing won’t happen. So the French not only think, but speak. Note—Simms sent a copy of the above to Ed L. Keen, London corres- pondent. Tomorrow Keen's state- ment of the British reply. BELTRAMI COUNTY LEADS THE STATE (Continued irom Fage 1.) Beltrami County Fair association, outlined the work necessary in order to carry away first honors at the state fair. He also urged attendance at the local county fair, and promised |;; much in the way of free attractions, exhibits, etc. J. M.

Don Shanmon an- nounced that progress was made in gathering of the club exhibit for the county fair. Messrs. Barker, Brooks and Miss Leah Berman were also called upon for short talks.
