Chicago As a rule, I am strongly in favor of Arthur Burrage Farwell and the work of the Law and Order league. I read with exceeding regret of his opposition to the amateur boxing tournament to be conducted by The Tribune A. A. under the sanction of the A. A.

IT. Boxing, as conducted by the A. A. is a fine, clean form of athletics and tends to lend a powerful influence on the morale of the young men of the community. The money donated Mr.

Far-well has been given by the various congregations and organizations for the suppression of the elements of evil and vice, most prevalent at the present time. I personally think that Mr. Farwell is misusing money given him in good spirit in opposing amateur boxing, and I also feel confident that the majority of his contributors will aree with me. lem would be the infield, where only two positions will be looked after by last season's occupants. Friberg was elected to fill one of the vacancies and in the few days of practice already held he has shown enough to warrant the belief that he will do despite his inexperience.

In practice here Friberg has been tried out on every conceivable kind of batted ball and the result has been startling. Natural baseball ability explains that. There is his batting strength to consider, however, and on this feature tht boy manager is not at all certain. One remedy planned for this is to have Barney bat right handed exclusively instead of changing around to meet the opposition pitchers. There is a possibility that Killefer's Infield worry may be relieved by the return of Zeb Terry.

The latter recent BAN NY STAYS HOME Chicago, who love boxing and who will benefit by your program of boxing. Chicago and The Chicago Tribune are, in my opinion, two big powers in America. In these modern days something new can be expected in every field of endeavor. The most modern churches in our big cities have instituted church houses in connection with their church building for the housing of gymnasiums, shower baths, etc. Boxing is a common practice and it warms the young church fellow to his spiritual ties in a modern manner.

Had a letter the other day from an old pal in California with whom I fished some beautiful little streams in Oregon one summer while living in a cozy log cabin at about 6,500 feet Up in the mountains. He wrote me that he was working on the rods and otherwise getting ready for some classy fun. And here is what C. A. M.

writes along this line: Seems like the only big game on earth is the game of the outdoors in the big woods and along the streams we love, only no one seems to know it only us. Trout is soon coming up. Better use worms first, then minnows, then flies. Get a basket half full of the beauties, cook them at the stream side, serve with black coffee, then light the old pipe and lie down In the nice warm sun. Hot dog! Ifa the life." That's just about enough from you.

When it is apparent, however, that individuals, or a small group of individuals, are banded together for the purpose of dictating to the majority of the people without considering the fact that that majority of people are as law abiding and peace loving as these self-appointed moral guardians," it brings us to the point of asking whether or not the present generation is to be held in the light of an irresponsible people or is to be permitted to live within a guarantee laid down by the United States constitution. Boxing was taught and encouraged in every branch of the United State service during the war.

We have been constantly exhorted to keep in the same physical condition in civilian life.
