_.,SPORTS. ' - : - THE RVENING. STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, PLANT TO HANDLE 75,000 Col. Johnson Proposes National Athletic Federation Take Up Project—Program of Wide Scope - Is Adopted by Organization. EW YORK. December_ 30.—A. proposal that the National Amateur Athletic Federation undertake the erection of a great athletic stadium in Washington, seating 75,000 persons at least; was made by Col. Wait C. Johnson, U. S. A, a member of the federation’s execiitive committee, at the meeting of the organization here. Col. Johnson visualized such a sadium as an. ideal place for the his- toric Army-Navy foot ball contests,.and suggested that periodically sec- tional fixtures in different branches of sport be staged at the capital. He said a“suitable site for a modern amphitheager could be obtained on short notice, and urged that_such a structure be erected as a monu- ment to the federation’s national servige in athletics.

BY FAIR PLAY. . EW YORK, December 30.—There isn't any question today as ‘1o N punching Pancho Villa, American flyweight titleholder. beirg one of the most serious contenders for the bantamweight title. Give Villa the weight and he would be able to show any of the bantams ia the country that he must always be counted among the heir presumptives: There were few of the 12000 fans at Madison Square Garden last night who didn’t expect Villa to get his. and get it good, from Terry Martin. The weights were announced as Villa, 111, and Martin, 11414, but the latter looked at least six pounds heavier. The advantage in weight was ail that saved Martin from cven a more ferocious beating than he got. Time after time, by sheer weight alone, he pushed Villa all around the ring, and cach time, he was finally driven off by the furious slashing of the little fellow’s walloping fists. Villd's ankle bothered him some- BRENNAN-JOHNSON BOUT |ypst,and tended at timen to malka VICTOR TO FIGHT FIRPO him wild, but at that he exhibited. at other times, the prettiest piece of sclentific boxing. punching and de- fense that he has ever ghown.
