BOXING IS GIVEN BIG SEND-OFF Introduction of Ring.jGame Into Army Camps Has Side tracked Tangoing. By BJagsider Chicago, Aug. 8. War has a way of changing things considerably, such as. for Instance, the relative standing of the American army. In the eyes of the Germans before the present counter of-, fensive and since and it hasn't left boxing alone, either. Days were when to box meant to learn the tango, and the fox trot, and the highland fling in order to duck your opponent If you could side-step and dodge and get your arjns well In the way .of the other fellow's smashes you might push the game along for 20 rounds or bo, -make the fellow' who paid for a box seat feel he'd received something for his money, and win the gratitude of the manager aftd money for yourself. In Training Camps But since the war has started and Uncle Sam has put boxing right in the curricula atthe training camps along side sharpshooting, machine gun drill, and sticking the dummy Germans with the bayonet, things have changed con siderably. For, while boxing Is part of the daily bread of the fighting man, none of this feinting, dodging and side stepping will go. In other words, your Uncle Sam be lieves In giving the United States sol dier the Idea that when he starts some thing he's to go through with it Real Fighting That means this the American pub lic has got a vision of real fighting when men go' in, not to guard against the other fellow so much as ' to let the other fellow know there is. some one with fists In the ring. It's a new sen sation for the audience and they like it. So that when the war is over not only will German autocracy be knocked out of the ring of world politics, but also out of the. fcoxlng ring will go the old 20 more or less round bouts, and the game in America will continue to be a fast and furious one because, under the new method," no one can last for a long go. And the people wont have anything else. Is Fine Soldier Again the war calls to mind one of its changes It has made out of an ordinary ring, peace-time fighting man world war-time fighting man of the first caliber to wit. Gene Dfelmont Gene is "up In . the air" in the right sense of that phrase, raising Hell with the Germans. "I have a nice little boxer. Gene Del mont in my w4ng," wrote Major Cush- man A. Rice, famous American traveler, soldier and general adventurer, now re covering from aviation wounds received on the front. "He is making the finest kind of a soldier and is in line for big things before this fuss may be over. At present Gene is right up there on the front line where every young man who has the nerve to say he is a fighting man should be. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good, and Gene, so Major Rice writes, is finding himself in this greatest box ing game that the world has ever seen in wnicn tne lessons oi tne ring are finding worth while results.

Rlckenbacker tells the stry. "We had finished our training and being the first all-American outfit to take to the front without previous experience we were allowed to fly around until we felt more confident before taking over responsibility' of pat roll ng a sector. "One Saturday night we decided we were ready; for business. We called up the French and told them. They replied that we could over pa trol a big chunk of the line north of Toul, beginning the next morning at daybreak. "Accordingly we planned the first gimper patrol. Captain David Peterson led It while Lieutenant Reed Chambers and I were the rest of the personnel. Captain Peterson had had considerable experience ever the line. Go Oat to Scare Vp Helales "Before going up he told me to take the leadership of the patrol in case he had motor trouble and had to come down and that we would not need to patrol if it were too cloudy. So we went up with that understanding. "Just as we wero rpady to start. Reed Chambers elled to Doug Campbell and Allen Wlnslow, 'We ll go out and scare the Hetnies up and you guys knock 'em down.' "We circled around for altitude and Captain Peterson came down.

We got a couple of shots at them and they ran. . We continued our patrol, not without apprehension, since we w.ere not sure of our locations and that trip is a scary one even when you are led by someone who knows the lines. .Two Germans Were There "Finally I lost Chambers and be gan patrolling up and down to locate him. It became more cloudy and I could see nothing. At length I started for what I thought waa home, but it took" a long time to find It Chambers wasn't there, when I finally came out of the clouds, but the two Germans we had chased out of the clouds were. "After Chambers' promise . to scare up some Huns, Campbell and Wlnslow had gone into the tent and were playing cards. Suddenly they were called to answer an alert. They had barely jumped Into their machines and gained some altitude when they saw two German planes coming for the camp. "Both thought the Germans were coming to strafe the hangars, and each picked out a German to head him off. Doug took the first one and got on hla tall. He landed the Ger man right on the aviation field four and a half minutes after he bad left hs cards.

Marty Farrell, who Is about the only tango boxer left in this neck of the woods, added another star to his "in bad" flag Wednesday night when he departed for Oakland, Cl-, after getting a message from Lieutenant Bell of Fort Lawton advising him that his bout with Mick King would be staged Saturday night as scheduled. Many things that have happened in the past Indicate that Farrell is a hard man to get a hold of, which partly ex plain the inability of Lieutenant Bell to reach him by long distance telephone. The match between King and Farrelf has been pending for. sometime, but de spite this Farrell accepted an offer to box Battling Ortega before Tommy Simpson's club In Oakland. Farrell's action in this particular in cident will win htm no friends and steps should be taken to bar him from par ticlpating in ring engagements here In the future, as he is for Farrell and Far rell only.
