Report WASHINGTON, Sept, 4.—(Unit- ed Press).—The riding horse is fast disappearing from the coun- try, according to a report issued by the remount service of the American remount. association, Breeding of light horses has de- creased to such an extent that rid- ing horses of good type are almost impossible to obtain in any num- bers, the report stated. The remount service of ‘the Quartermasters corps and the American remount association is- sued the joint report to describe the results of the distribution of the 285 stallions that belong to the army. More than 6,000 mares were bred to these stallions during 1922 as @ result of the co-operation of farmers and breeders with the army, “Due to unselentific and indis- criminate methods of breeding, the first useful type of riding horse has almost disappeared from the country,” the report said. “The government has charged the remount service with the all-tm- Portant work of eliminating the worthless scrub and supplanting him by a useful type. “To those persons who had giv- en the growing scarcity of riding horses any serious though this sit- uation became plafnly apparent more than a quarter of a century ago. The world war with its {m- mense toll of horseflesh, and the diftioulty in securing riding horses of even a mediocre type, brought home fully the seriousness of the situation.” While the production of more and better riding animals is the main object of the remount breeding plan, second to it only in import- ance is the elimination of worth- less scrubs, “There are powerful combina- tions whose interests are inimical to those of the horse,” the report warned, “and which at times fos- ter legislation that spel's disaster for all horse breeding activities.” peace Biot i Thre SPIKE MURRAY WINS FROM ARENDT ON FOUL Spike Murphy of Casper won a decision on @ foul over Bob Arendt of Salt Creek in the fourth round of a scheduled 10-round bout at Jack Lord's “Lavoyeland” theater in Lavoye yesterday.

(United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—({United Press.}—Johnny Dundee waited for thirteen years for the chance to win the world’s featherweight champion- ship and he has been waiting six years for a good crack at the light- weight title, His patience and perseverance in holding out so long against what looked like a mighty slim chance of a shot at the crown held so long by Johnny Kilbane were rewarded, and it remains to be told tomorrow night if his vigil at the heels of Benny Leonard is to have the sams results. Dundee and Leonard are going to fight fifteen rounds to a decision in the’ Yankee stadium for the light- welght championship of the world. ‘The great little Itallan fighter has been in the ring eight times again: the lightweight champion, but th! is the first time Leonard will risk his title on a decision, and it is also the first time that the champion will have to make weight for Dundee. Leonard must make 135 pounds at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and he must accept the decision of two judges and the referee if he does not succeed In etopping the feather- weight within forty-five minutes of actual fighting. It is a hi fight to figure, be- cause there are so many factors that might influence the game of the two champions. Leonard is a great boxer. After the exhibition of brains and skill he gave aginst Lew Tendler in their recent fight, many oldtimers ex- Pressed the opinion that he was the greatest fighting machine of all times among the lightweights, Leon- ard can hit with both hands, he is a@ superb boxer and a most crafty ring general. Game and rugged as he is, Dun- dee can hardly stand up under the punishment that Leonard gave Tend- fer. Only the stoutest heart and the most rugged constitution that are} represented in Tendler could have withstood the beating the champion gave his foremost contender that night not so many weeks ago in the Polo grounds, Tendler, however, had to take the punishment. He was not smart enough or clever enough to get out of the way of the barrage of gloves that Levnard dropped on him—but Dundee ts clever enough and smart enough to do it. Dundee has been knocked out once in his career by Willlie Jack- son. Dundee always claimed it was CLEVELAND MAN FAILS IN LONG CHANNEL SWIM DOVER, England, Sept. 4.—Car- bis Walker of Cleveland, Ohio, failed Monday in his attempt to swim the| English channel. Walker was three and one-half miles from the Dover coast at 2:45) when he was forced to admit that he had been beaten by the cold. He said he would not try again this year.

This arrangement is pe: Perkins and an arrangement reached by the two men Wednes- day. ‘The selection of a referee and two judges has been postponed until to- morrow as Jay Thomas, Walker's manager, found it impossible to get to Casper before that date. He and Walker will be in some time tomorrow. Perkins is in excellent shape and golng strong. He has been getting plenty of work during the last 10/eqle the day after tomorrow, Selected Tomorrow ith Harvey Perkins at the ut on a winner take ectly satisfactory to of this kind will probably be days and never looked better than hoe does at the present time, The semi final will bring togeth- ¢r Billy Papke and Jack Doyle, two fast Colorado boys. The prelimi- naries are between Fred Hickey of Kansas City and Al Knap of Colo- rado Springs, heavyweights, with Frankie Snyder and Jimmie Wood- ‘hall of Thermopolis, feathers, meet- Ing in the other. t for the fight will_go on| @ fluke loss on @ lucky punch, and he made his point strong by beating Jackson in numerous subsequent en- counters, Just as Leonard showed himself a master against Tendler, Dundee dem- onstrated superb qualities as a fight- er when he won the featherweight championship from Bugene Criqu! by giving the Frenchman one of the Worst beatings that a fighter ever took in an American ring. Dundee's punching power al- Ways been regarded lightly by the experts, because so few of his vic- tories have been won by knockouts and in comparing the two fighters that t tomorrow night, it might be Judged that Leonard will have the advantage because of @ superior kick in his fists, Dundee did not knock out Criqu! because he thought it wise to win by the sure way of a decision and not take the risk of a wild swing from the right hand of a desperate opponent which would have brought him down had it landed. Leonard did not knock out Tend- ler. Somo said he didn't want to end that he carried the Philadelphia southpaw over several tough places. Others said that he couldn't stop his opponent because he lost his punch in making the weight, After considering all the compli- cated angles, it looks like a probabil- ity that the fight wil) go the limit with the issue so even that a draw might result. Certainly a victory on points by elther one would not be a tremendous upset. Dundee hardly can hope to knock out Leonard, because he will have difficulty in landing clean punches on the champion and it is doubtfyl! if he could keep Leonard down even after landing a couple right on the button, Facing a most clever, fast and brainy fighter as Dundee is, Leonard also will have dfificulty in finding vital spots on an opponent wha bounces and jumps around the ring like an acrobat. Dundee can go fif- teen rounds just as fast, and per- haps.at a more lively clip than the champion and he wil! not be so fool- ish as to allow Leonard to dictate the kind of a fight he wants to make as the lightwelght champion did against Tendler. Both ought to be in superb condi- tion. Both are just a few weeks out of the greatest fights of their caregrs and they should have no trouble in getting back on edge, There {s the only polnt—can Leon- ard make the weight, and is he real good at the lightweight limit? Despite the stories that Leonard weighed 142 pounds and Tendler 140 pounds when they met, the boxing commission said they both made the woight. - No newspapermen were admitted to see the boxers on the scales, but, they will be this time, and the ques. tion of Leonard's weight should be settled forever.
