OF THE SPORT WORLD THE SPOTLIGHT This Winter Looms as Most Suc- cessful in History of Box- ing Game This winter looms as the mgst suc cessful in the history of the ring game, and indications are now that the year of 1919 will pass out without any more champions being dislodged from their throngs. The waning year saw Jess Willard and Ted Lewis hand over their crowns. How many. champions will do this next year? There are many scores of good bouts scheduled for this winter and fight promoters thruout the country believe that a number of dark, horses like the only undefeatable champion. will be developed. At present, Benny Leonard looks Thé othefs appear to have their equals, altho Johnny Kilbane still, has a few wallops left- in his old - mitts, With Jatk Dempeey it is a quesuon. One disappointment of the 1919 sea- sofi was the Iack of better soldfer talent. It was freely predicted early in the year, that returning soldiers by the score would develop into top-hotchers, ! but the predictions were not borne out. Bot} Martin. heavyweight champion of the A.

FARRELL (wnited Press. if Correspondent.) NEW YORK, ee. 23.—Anything goes in football if you get away with it. . The fankest .piece of judgment be- comes clevet strategy and great gener- ulsHip when the play goes through. Tho quarterback who yiolates all the unwritten rules of the game in trying to outwit the opposition is.a hero when everything connects. But he’s a hope- ic8s ‘boob, crowned with bone when the attempt fails: Consider “Chic” Harley, gredtest. of western stars and one of the wonders o1 the modern game. Hardly ‘had a habit of doing the things that the first lessons of coaches to ‘n players said not to do. But he got by with them in every ctiee and he’s the greatest of the great. In the Michigan game with the Hall| on Ohio's. fifteen-yard line he called for a forward pass. The terrific chances taken need nO enumeration. But he got away with it, He pulled similar stunts in every game until some critics ac- cused him of not knowing any vettdr, One of the most notable-examples of “taking chances” occurred in the Penn State-Pittsburgh game. It was state’s hall on her own three-yard line. Hess Cropped back of the goal for what ‘ac rding to the unwritten law of the game should have been a desperate punt out. But ‘Hess‘didn’t kick. “He plood there with the ball ih his hands dodging Pitt tacklers.

Just like Mike Colliris! Collins, it will be remembéred, Was Fulton's man- ager at the time of that memorable Ful- ton-Dempsey fiasco back in Harrison, N, J. Many who are on the inside of the ring game declare that it wag Collins. not Dempsey, 'who \double-crovsed" Fulton. ‘ If Collins is half the sport he pre tends he is, he will start doings against | Fulton at once, and not wait until the big fellow piles up a piece of change. Fulton is working to reniove the stain of that fiase® from his record and He should be entotrdired-instead of coused by some pe ee as piker, RUSS CITY LIVING COST UP $00 TIMES WHAT IT , WAS BEFORE WORLD WAR ted senwi eeeees ae Se The cost. of living in Odesse is gbout 300 times more.than” Before the war, sdys Miss Rusyell, sister of “the ducal fdod controller, wha has just reti vet icae that estan city. wher tived. there two gnd one-half years. + # palr of boots, she gays, ont from 2,000 to 3,000: rubles—a yeury gulary— and # dress was omy to be hag at 4 sijiler ruinous stigure. » In the day before she lef, the.
