Patton, and his family are abroad on an extensive trip and made their plans so that they would be at Stockholm during the Olympic Games. Mrs.

There are plenty of good referees In the country, but if Jones is as particular in the coming match as he was in the last, there is liable to be a hitch. That referee question had better be settled when the articles are signed.

It is a cinch that if Jim ever fights in England that he will not go many rounds without being disqualified for foul work. Had the Flynn-Johnson fight taken place in the National Sporting Club in London it would have hardly gone two rounds. They have little of such dirty work.

By the way, I see my friend Jim Morley is in favor of a new set of boxing rules in this country. He also says that many of the articles In the M. Q. rules are obsolete. I do not agree with brother Jim.

It is not at all the fault of the rules, but the way they are enforced, or the way they are not enforced. There might be pterhaps one thing added to them that was suggested by Charlie Eyton several years ago, and that is to fine the boxers when "they hold or clinch. This would be the quickest way to stop all this disgusting stuff. When a fighter is disqualified In England by a referee, there is seldom any kicks from the crowd. Ills word is law and he gets the backing of all.

Morley also suggests that the weights bo changed. This. I think would be a mistake, unless It could be made universal in all countries where boxing Is Allowed. Unless this were done. It would be impossible to settle worlds championships.

If the weights are changed. It would be hard to bent those weights that are adopted by the Amateur Athletic Union, and they are: Featherweight, 105 pounds; bantam, 115; special, 125; light, 135; welter. 145; middle, 158; light heavyweights, 168, and over that heavyweights. It would perhaps be better to raise the light heavyweight class to about 175 pounds. When the rules were formed there were few men that fought over 200 POPE-HARTFORD Wm.

event at 6000 metom tnrimr i STOCKHOLM, July 11. It was a great day, a day of signal triumphs following the brief little reverses of Wednesday, and the. California giant, Ralph Robs, helped largely to infuse the spirit of victory Into the game, into representatives of American athletic prowess. Again, a vast crowd thronged all parts of the stadium, saw our lads make pretty close to a clean sweep of the events of the day. Barring the swimming events and the big walk, in one of which we figured, the American Eagle flew away with all the honors of the field.

A mighty cheer went -up when he three flags of a triple victory announced that the United States had wnn every point In the pole vault. Harry Babcock of Columbia University, cleared the bar after it was set at three meters, 95 centimeters (12ft. 11 2-51n. Mark Wright of Dartmouth and Frank T. Nelson of Yalo among the other ten athletes who ijualitied and tried In the finals, stayed with Babcock up to this elevation, but both failed to make it.

Wright established a new world's record at the Boston trials of six weeks ago, poling over the cross-bar at a spectacular feat. Babcock beat the previous Olympic record of made by Gilbert and Cook. Americans, in 1908, by 9 2-5in. Eight Americans, a German, a Swede, and a Canadian tried for pr-mlnenqa in this event. With the cross piece at lift, Cole of the University of Chicago, broke his pole and fell, receiving such a wrench that he had to quit Halfpenny, tha Canadian, also strained himself Inter-ually at this mark and retired.

WIN SHOT-PUT. The shot putting contest, In which Rose. McDonald and Nleklander trove for supremacy, awakened the biggest interest of today's meet. Rosa was in his best form today and started out determined to settle his score with the husky New York cop. In his two throws with the right arm ha did 15 meters, 11 centimeters 6 3 and in his third effort he sent the shot 15 meters, 23 centimeters 11 In.)
