Pugilistic kinds considered to be in imminent danger of losing their world Jimmy Wilde, of England, fiyweight Lyneh, of New York bantamweight; Johnny Kilbane, of Cleveland featherweight Johnny Wilson, of Woston, middleweight, and Battling Siki, France wne Senegal, lght heavyweight | The other title holders Benny | Leonard of New York, lightweight Mickey Walker, of Elizabeth, N, J., welterweight — and Jack Dempsey heavyweight——are favored to stay the top, but while the opposition in their respective ranks is not consider ed more than threatening, there is al wiys the chance that any of them will receive a fatal tap on the chin Chief interest promises to upon Dempsey, who plans an active outdoor campalgn after a lapse of nearly two years since his memorable fight with Georges Carpenticr, Sev eral of his challengers may make it more than interesting for the cham pion but the present prospect is that| he will successfully retain his laurels, Widle, who has been inactive for| some time, has been challenged for a title match by Pancho Villa, the scrappy Filipino who took the Ameri- can flyweight title away from Johnny Buff last year. Villa not only has taken the measure of the best Am-| erican flyweights, but he has fre-| quently gone out of his class with de- | clsive success, The Filipino is ambitious to dupli-| cate Buff's feat in holding both the flyweight and bantamweight belts and has a following which would be ready to back him strongly in a title bout with Joe Lynch. The latter faces two other formidable challengers in Carl Tremaine, hard-hitting Clevelander, and Irish Johany Curtin, of Jersey City, N. J. Kilbane has agreed to stake his featherweight title against the French- man, Bugene Criqui, hoider of the European championship, in a match at the Polo Grounds on Decoration Day. Criqui. young and aggressive, will have much in his favor against Kilbane, who has slowed up as a re- sult of a long period of inactivity. Wilson, another inactive champion, will have difficulty retaining his title if he accepts the challenges of several formidable 160-pound boxers, includ- ing Tommy Loughran, of Philadel- phia, Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh, who also holds the American light heavy- weight title, and B n Downey, of Cleveland. Wilson is not recognized as champion in a number of states be- cause of his tactics in avoiding cham- pionship matches. Ixperts believe either Greb, Gene Tunney, or Tom Gibbons, the leading | American light heavyweights, capable of lifting the world's title held by Battling Siki, who acquired it by| knocking out Carpentier. galese is still recognized in this coun- | an effort Crowns are Joe ter) try as the champion despite the rul-| ing of French authorities depriving him of the title because of alleged improper conduct. Reports have been current that he intends to seek sev- eral houts in the United States during the summer. Benny Leonard faces several strong contenders in the lightweight ranks, including Lew Tendler, of Philadel- phia; Sailor Freedman and Charley White, both of Chicago. But the fact that he has previously conquered all three inclines critics to the opinion that he will continue to remain su- preme. The suggestion has been made fre- quently that Leonard, however, may find difficulty keeping inside the light- | weight limit of 135 pounds and even- tually be compelled to seek honors in | the welterweight division. Although he failed last summer in an attempt to take this title from Jack Britton, losing to the veteran on a foul, Leon- ard would be a formidable opponent for Walker, who captured the cham- pionghip from Britton, INGLISH ESTATE | Newcastle-on-Tyne, Feb. 13.—Lord | Armstrong, who recently donatéd| $500,000 to the Royal Infirmary at| Newcastle, is giving up the mainte-| nance of his famous country estate. “Craigside”, and is going to live henceforth in “The Cottage,” former- 1y occupied by his estate agent.

This is the first aircraft| carrier to be specially designed by the | { Admiratly, and has the unusual fea- ture of funnels, mast, and supers ture on the starboard side am instead of in the center, thus allowing plenty of flying offt and alighting space. Another aircraft carrier just ready for use is the "“Hagle” of 26,200 tons, which has been converted from a bat- tleship, originally laid down in 1913 for Chili. The recent floods have so material- ly changed the aspect of the land in the vicinity of Amsterdam, that air- men on the route between that city and London have now to steer entire- ly by compass. The flooded country now seems like an inland sea, from the air, and without the compass they would be lost. Airplanes “plying for hire” out of London, are to be fitted with taxi- At two shillings a mile the clock will show a fare working out at about $35.00 each for three passen- gers from London to Paris. ol ol t t nual ENGINEERS FORM A Railroad Union Invests $2,000,- of Warren Brotherhood gineers, EW BRITAIN It Got By | ganization, has nething | coal mining property yet the mined are owned largely by bretherhood members and Mr, Stone is presideat of the company Revolutionising the coal mining in- dustry through the establishment of & “eoal company with a soul" was the |'aim of the engineers when Mr, Stone and his assoclates, iast June, in the | throes of the nation-wide coal strike, made the two million dollar invest. ment in the Coal River Collieries | company, “There has never heen a strike in these mines and there will never be," he said.
