NEW BRITAIN DALY HERALD, o T — ARTING FOR U. MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1919, BANS RENCH AMAZED AT YD ATHLETES 9,800 Soldiers Take Part in Games Before Departure for U, S, An account of the 26th division's farc<oll athietic meet at Wecomoy iven by Frank P. Sibley, 'respondent of the Boston which, he says, aroused the tion of the American expedi- lionary forces and the wonder of the | ¥ronch inhabitants of the province P of Serth. Though 3,800 men took part in the meet, which extended over fthree days, details were arranged be- | forchand so well that there was not B8 hitch. The achievement was dis- f tinctly a. military one, the Young Men's Christlan association supplying prly the boxing rings and equipment. The tournament was so arranged as | to test thoroughly the men’s militar: P and physical fitness, as well as to give absorbing interest to them. While the fighting was going on the men realized they must keep fit, but aft the armistice home was the only goal and delay made it hard to keep up to the mark. The athletic pro- gram was designed to overcome th tendency to let things slide, and this tournament gave the Yankee division the honor of giving the finest dem- onstration of what can be done with that program. For a month the men Jkept themselvgs keyed up to the high- est efficiency and all contests were marked with gameness, intelligence and a fine spirit of the 10,000 doughboys who looked on. Co. D, 104th infantry, of Folyoke, won the high honors of the meet, taking the prizes for the best com- pany and best platoon. The 104th also won the heavywelght boxing and the tug-of-war. oC. D is com- manded by Lieuts Edwin D. Martin of Springfield and is made up mainly of Holyoke, Fitchburg and Concord men. © 104th received the division cup, - presented by Major-General Harry C. Hale, and each individual winner or member of a winning team recelved a medal presented by . A Fllene of Boston. In presénting the cup and medals to the commanding officers of the winning teams, Gen. Hale sald: “In congratulating you on the flne showing made during the pust three days, T wish to thank you for the clean way you have played thbse games. You have been wonderfully successful. You have done your work, one and all. You have played like sportsmen. At the front, so in games, you have shown the spirit of real fighters. I wish at this time also to thank the Young Men's Christian association men and women; members of the divisional staff, the mllitary police and all the men and officers who have helped to make these days memorable. It gives me peculiar pleasure and honor to pin these medals upon you.” The summary of events follows: Best squad—Tie for 1st, Co. K, 101st infantry, and Co. C, 103d ma- chine gun battalion; Co. ¥, 4th. Boston, Co, B i8 from Medford Co. C from Vermont and and them | cham- | plonship and first in mental alertness | the | 102d in- | fantry, 3d; Co.

BOXING LAW IChAmplonshIp Fight Promoter Ex. ! | pects to Decide on Location of { Battle Within Ten Days. w York, | April | Rickard was asked 14.—When last night if he | was awaiting the result of legislation | at Albany Dbefore selecting a spot in which to pitch the ring for the cham- pionship battle between Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey he empbatically declared that such was not the case. “I am not waiting on any one or anything,” said the promoter. “Fur- | thermore, 1 intend to buckle right down to business on the location and will announce the place within 10! days.” | When Rickard was asked if Willard | would object to risking his title on the result of a decision on points in a | short bout, he said: “Willard has nothing whatever to do with that phase of the matter. Un- | ler the articles of agreement he has | bound himself to fight any number of | rounds up to forty and at any place 1 ; may designate. Quite naturaliy, if T | selected a spot in a state where the boxing law prohibited decisions by the referee the title “‘could not chango hands on a verdict on points, and ! Dempsey, in order to win the cham- | pionship would be required to stop | | Willard. Therefore the question of a | | decision qn points depends cntirely on | ! the law of the state in which the con- | test takes place,” |'A. E. F.

Gene | Delmont and Knotkout Brennan were | |among those placed under the ban of lthe army authorities. | | Delmant told reporters that he was ' ill and produced numerous doctors’ certificates, but Col.
