EW YORK, February 3—Senator James J. Walker, father of the law under which professional boxing is legalized in this state, has cxpressed himself as unalterably opposed to any action of the state etic commission which would prohibit a world heavyweight bout be- tween Jack Dempsey, the title holder, and Harry Wills, New Orleans egro challenger. Senator Walker said that if the state athletic comm «gainst the bout because of discrimination on the matter of “race, creed, color or previous condition of servitude,” such action would be regarded by him as undemocratic, and as such would lead him to introduce a bill 10 repeal the boxing law. .1 the commission’s action was taken because of a fear Bf cammer- cralism resulting from such a bout, such action was unjustified, Senator Walker. said, in view of the fact that there can be positive assurance of commercialism in advance.

Valter is the seventh to get in line for the 1923 campaign, the others being Brillheart, Bush, Fisher, Harris, Judge and Rice.

After Western had walloped Central in a 31-to-23 engagement, more like a {ree-for-all than a basket ball game, Tech stepped onto the Central Coliseum floor and proceeded to overcome Business, 29 to 25, in a red-hot battle. The pair of-games ended the first round of the annual high school titular campaign and left Business and Western, with two wins and as many losses each, tied for second place in the league, and Central and Tech, each with a victory in four starts, deadlocked in the cellar.

Now I'LL Go Tenney broke into the Natlopal| League with a rush, a8 he hit .387%in 1894, his first year with the Boston club. That, incidentally, was the best average of Fred's major league career. The left-handed catcher from Brown, however, had the misfortune to break a_ finger in his first game with a big league nine. He played in-his first big time encounter on June 6, 1894, with the Boston club, playing in Louisville. Turning back to the flles of yesteryear, we read the following of Tenney's debut: “Tenney, the Brown University catcher, started in behind the bat (Copyright, 1928, piayed with Lowell that season, but returned to Boston as player-man- aged in 1911, but again his team fin- ished in the cellar. Johnny Kling suo- ceeded him the following year. Though Tenney hit over .300 - in only _seven of his seventeen big league seasons, he ended his major league career with the splendid life- time batting average of .295. He is one of the few National League bats- men who was charged with eight times at bat in a nine-inning game.

He can delay in picking up the ball, | too. When he does this he can start —By BUD FISHER. Sy By DAY, 8 B P Ry his pass off the floor. He can als | feint to pass high, but, instead, make a bounce pass. The bounce pass is especially valuable when the play is started close to the goal. The pass must, above all else, be accurate, for the player receiving the ball is usually moving at top speed. There come times when your players arc so closely guarded that it becomes necessary to throw the ball in to a player in the back court. When that is done the receiver starts forward on a dribble. This gives your othe; players a chance to get free and re ceive a pass from him.
