When the party arrived from Chh cago ttt 1:30 this afternoon an old fashioned reunion was staged at the depot. Present to greet the incoming delegt tion were Urban Faber and Mrs. Faber, who are tanned following their winter's sojourn on the Pacific comic: Stubby Mack. who came on front San (To; Ted and Homer Blankenship, who roughed It on their dad 's ram near Atoka, Cecil Duff, who Vit cationed at Freewater, and Dixie Leverett. Although Ed "Strangler" Lewis, heavyweight champion, will defend his title in a finish match with Allen Eustace, the Kansas giant, in the main bout of the wrestling show at the Coliseum on Tuesday night, the match between Renato Gardini, recognized Italian champion, and Stanislaus Zbytvzko the Pole, is of more interest to dyed in the wool fans.

It will be the champion's first appearance in Chicago since he won the title from Stanislaus Zby-szko and unless he is sadly off form should give an interesting exhibition of his ability and especially the headlock, the grip which has spelled defeat for so many challengers. Eustace is a good wrestler who may give Lewis a tougher match than is generally expected. The bout between Gardini and Zbyszko should bristle with action. The Pole showed a. lot of speed in his last appearance at the Coliseum and will have to step at a livelier clip to keep pace with the clever Italian.

Zbyszko is still peeved at not being selected to meet Lewis and has agreed to toss Gardini twice in an hour or forfeit the entire purse and lose a $1,000 side bet. Jim Londos, claimant of the Greek heavyweight title, will take on George Walker of California in the principal match at the Star and Garter tomorrow night.

Collins asserted the Legion will get behind the event to a man as long as the proceeds will go to a fund to take care of disabled war heroes. In addition to the many amateurs In and around Chicago, a large entry will be received from Great Lakes Naval Training station and Fort Sheridan, according to ward received from both places yesterday. Inquiries were made regarding the method of entering and assurances given of a large entry.

Avalon. Catalina Island, Feb. V.S. a Fun that had a soothing effect on gents just out of a frigid clime, the Cub hurling corps put on a strenuous workout today. Loosened up after a week of easy toil they went to their work with a vengeance, zipping things over the plate with no apparent fear of glas-s arms or other spring camp ailments, with a couple of exceptions.

Coach Oscar Dugey, who is in charge during the absence of Manager Killifer, ordered every member of the pitch h-tg squad to take a turn on the slab. Each was permitted about ten minutes of genuine heaving to batters and some felt so well physically that they endeavored to show something in the way of curves as well as speed. Virgil Chief Cheeves had a particularly stiff workout in the morning. Evidently the big fellow i taking his work seriously and if he continues in this frame of mind probably Will produce what the manager has been counting on for the last couple seasons. The lad has a quantity of natural ability but never has seemed able to strike a consistent stride dur ing the championship race.

It is still too early to twigs judgment On the young hurlers, but one toiler who has made favorable impression with the board of strategy is Charles Stauffer, a right bander who won sev enteen games and lost the same num1 her with the Bridgeport. club last season. In his spin on the hid today the rookie displayed a great fast I ball. Decisions of The Tribune boxing representatives are At Enstirn, PaoTiney Triaide beat Al Moore 1101; Young Jack Dempsey beat Jack Horner 181. At Hammond.

Harold Smith, one of the, greatest bantamweights developed around the stockyards, and Battling Chink of Cin. cinnati, who has a newspaper decision over Bud Taylor, will meet in part of the double windup of the boxing show to be conducted by Jim Mullen at the Ashland Boulevard auditorium tonight. In the other half of the main event Mike Dundee, hard hitting Rock Island 124 pounder, will clash with Charley 4 Glaser, a product of Chicago, who has met some of the best boys of his weight. It will be Dundee's first big start since a pair of injured hands temporarily stopped his climb to a match with Johnny Kilbane for the featherweight title.

Grooming Smith for Lynch. Smith is being groomed for a match 5,, with Joe Lynch, main stem of the ban- tams, and his showing tonight will be watched with interest. Harold is known as a hard right hand puncher and a fairly clever boxer. On the other s. hand, Chink is no setup.

The Cincinnati lad has won many friends by his gymnasium work, and it was the con. sensus of opiajon that he beat Jimm is.5. Kelly at the stockyards recently. Glaser has been anxious to show his 4e, wares before local fans for many months. Although he has taken the match on short notice, Manager Prank Clark asserted Glaser is in good shape and will be able to step right along with the hard hitting Italian.

Two Prelims on Card. BATTLING CHINK. Two prelizninaries precede the main event. Job McLaughlin of the west side and Nate Ripon, the St. Paul 133 pounder, will open the show in a STUBBINGS SETS six round engagement.

The added starter is Charles Dorman, also of San Francisco, who recently was reinstated by Commissioner Landis. Dorman, who played golf all winter with Willie Kamm, has seen servlee with Washington and Oakland, but has not been in organized ball since 1920. Gleason also met another rigid handed pitching prospect in the person of Harry Oster.

Trainer Puckner then dlstributed uniforms and Gleason mobilized his forces to explain the training plan. The writer explained to the meeting the attitude of The Tribune Athletic association and its determination to give all the net receipts to American Legion funds.

Immediately a resolution was presented, prepared by a committee of the Legion association, and its adoption was urged by William P. McDonald. Ferry Watkins, a lawyer, opposed the motion to adopt the resolution commending The Tribune association tournament, declaring that the law forbids amateur boxing. Former Lieut. Gov.

Barratt O'Hara replied that no violation of lay, was contemplated, that the law did not in. tend forbidding amateur boxing, and that, in his opinion, TER CHICAGO Tnrsrtim owners and editors would be among the last to encourage or to countenance any violation of law. Text of Resolution. The resolution was then adopted, Watkins ea9ting the one dissenting vote, while the others shouted their approval. Here is the resolution.

Betty, chairman of the housing committee: Whereas, The American Legion and all ex-service men and women have constantly supported and been in favor of all forms of clean sports and athletics, and Whereas, The American Legion OFFER DEMPSEY $100,000 FOR GO WITH GIBBONS Be it further Reed, That a copy of this resolution be sent to TN: CMCAGO TRIBUNNI and a copy of this resolution be an nt to every post In Cook county for dissemination to every member of the American Legion and to eve ex-service man and woman In that city. There is Just a possibility that Jack Dempsey and Tom Gibbons will fight it out In Ohio the coming summer.

Tommy McGinty, old time featherweight boxer, now a prosperous business man of Cleveland, last night wired Eddie Kane, manager of the St. Paul aspirant to the heavyweight title, that he was In a position to guarantee Jack Kearns $100,000 or a good percentage for DempseY's end of a twelve round decision affair, to be staged at Maple Heights. McGinty stated that he was sure the bout would draw in the neighborhood of $400,000. Kane. who doesn't seem to care what Gibbons' end Is, so long as he gets on with Dempsey, wired McGinty that Tom would be a party to the mill and for him to go ahead and get Kearns' O.K.

The Cleveland promoter's wire stated that the offer had been sent to Kearns. McGinty will be in Chicago Monday to see Gibbons hook up with Jim Tracey at East Chicago, and by that time be probably will have had a reply from the Dempsey camp.

Walt dtittitt Aic es I 4 struction upon the questions involved and to ridicule the position taken by those who oppose your viesrs, is quite consistent with the t3rp1ca1 newspaper attitude. If you Inttst do something barbarous and coarse to get the public eye, why don't you stage a. bull fight or a bear match? The anima is at least would not be influenced to take their part by greed or notoriety, or pull a fake contest." Public boxing fosters a spirit of bulldozing and bullvragging. It sets up the unprincipled brutish, plug-ugly as an example of stuccess to credulous youth.

You know sill of this of course, and worse; knowinig it why do you try to cover up with twaddle and flummery about red blottied citizens," "clean sport," cake eaters" and 'mollycoddles."

DELANEY, now gen- eral manager of the Chicago Athletic association and former physical director of that organizationBoxing, a poor boys game, does not need experudve outfit All that is necessary is a Playground corner lot, a boy chirm, covering for the hands.

Boxing eliminates the fear of bodily contact is a general body developer. cultivates alertness, agility, and all three necessary in everyday business life. With these facts in front of us, why not have regulated boxing? It has been brought to my attention many times that it is not necessary to have prize fights and profeesional fights to develop the playground boys, the young American in general. but this is not true. There must be a champion.

All children are imitators. They look up to a man or woman at the top of the contest they I like beet There is a photographic 1 plate in the brain of this child. and 1 there he has his copy. He starts to work to make himself a likeness, to be better than the champion. We need and I have needed a regulated boxing con- trot.

Just how is the question. It can I be changed if found wanting, but when we have no legalized control, we are talking theory and not facts. Let both' sides get together on this and give it a trial. Tits TRIBUNE A. A.
