The matter has been discussed with the big bowling and ice man, who is in close touch with affairs at Convention Hall and he insists that if Al settled the check at the fountain, he will be sure to remember what sort of concoction Jack Williams imbibed. That's my hope. But if Al does re- member, and learns what that drink will do, then John Pinspiller Evans’ reign as lightweight champion of the Masonic League is ended. Al would give two right arms at least to strut his_stuff as title holder. “Thass right,” said the Kid. “I un- derstand that Gardner even went to te extreme of challenging and defeating young Ebersole—only to learn to his dismay that the latter had nothing but an ambition. “Well,” said the Old Timer, “I don't mind knocking Gardner.

A movement is on foot by the pound fishermen off the New Jersey coast to extend their operations beyond the limits now allowed. In their petition to the War Department, which is be- fore Col. Earl 1.

The commercial fishermen declare thelr catchfes are becoming smaller und that their investments in fishing projects are threatened. Conservation League officlals declare the pound operators themeelves are largely r stponsible for this shortage of fish, Another cause for rhortage, they claim, is the increasing fleet of so- called “fish pirates.” These fishing boats, licensed to catch fish known as menhaden or bunker, which is not a food fish, have turned to netting schools of food fish whenever they find them.

BY SPARROW McGANN. NI V YORK, April 3—Has Tex Rickard any recal intention of bring- ing Jack Dlempsey or Harry Wills together this Summer or any other time? ¢ This question has been heard most frequently since Tex sprang hi big coup this week in lcasing the Yankee Stadium for outdoor boxing | % next Summer. Some insiders think that for various reasons neither Rickard nor any one else will stage the bout. Yet, on the other hand, there are a few close to the center of affairs who will not be at all surprised if Rickard pulls off the fight. One thing is as true as the hat on your head and that is that Demp- sey will make a big mistake If he does not take on the Black Panther next Summer. That is to say, he will be making u mistake if he retains, say, about half of the form he di played when he fought Jess Willard. Close observers of fighting men who always are behind th scenes, and therefore in the know, say that Wills is less dangerous right now than he has ever been since he came to be considered as the leading contender for Dempsey’s title. Wills Feeling Hand of Age. The years have worked to make Wills comparatively harmless. At least this is the dope of the up-and up guys who follow ring events not for the love of the game but be- cause they make money out of it through betting. The glowing accounts of Wills’ prowess which he has been reading in the papers for so long are held to have worked havoc with him, in asmuch as it has given him the idea he is a superman. This idea has been carried out in the gym where Wills works. None of the big fellows will spar w ith Harry anymore because he plays safe with them by putting over a big smash and then bulling his partners around the ring with his immense strength. So the little fellows have been pres ed into service to work with Harr: and this has not done him any good. There was a time when Wills was a great hoxer. Nowadays he will lower his guard when he is feinted and then dive into a clinch as soon he realizes his mistake. What a good boxer who could hit ould do to him if he failed to make | his clinch good is too tell about. Boxing. with the little fellows has must be made as well as overcoming a lead of 80 in total pinfall. This is no mean job. as the King Pin team has apparently emerged from its tem- porary slump and s again registering very respectable gcores, its most re- cent set of 1,672 heing the best of the past week. Bradiey Maniey and the remainder of the Temple team enjoyed a profit- able evening at the expense of Mount Pleasants, all three games going into the bag of the northeast boys. Man- ley turned in a splendid game of 149, while Ralph Prevost, his teammate, was tallying games of 120, 113 and 108, for a 341 set. After dropping the first to Meyer Davis, Terminal Ice Co. took the sec- ond by a pin when George Friend spared in the final box, and then add- ed the final game with plenty to spare. Arthur Logan of Meyer Davis with 4 set of 341 was best for the two frightful to | | conceit out not helped Wills' speed afoot becaus: he has no reason to sidestep evade. He just shuffles around footed and seems to take his work as a joke. Carl Carter, who sprang into tem porary fame when he knocked out | Bid Gorman, is alleged, according to e rd. | training camp whispe to have knocked Harry down the last rl‘;‘m.- lhu‘}“u ')nuxed and Harry has not had on the gloves with the ch b Gt the rough big b Looking back over the sparring partners Wills has had for his few bouts in the past two years, one i surprised at the lack of good men o the list. Jeff Clark, the “Jamaica Kid,” and Battling Owens are the cream of the list. And what cream it 15! Clark has been passe these last five years and Owens is nothing more than a punching bag for the first-class heavies. Harry's Hands Are Brittle. Wills is not punching as hard as he used to, either. The reason for this is that his small hands will not stand the driving power of his immense strength. He has been under a doc tor's care more than once for broken hand bones and has to bo careful. In the Firpo fight, it will be re called, Wills floored the big Argen tinian and thereafter concentrated his attack upon the soft body, thereby losing a chance for a knockout Dempsey can stand a hard punch it he is anything like the fighter he used to be. And the way Wills is fighting now Jack ought not to have trouble in socking him hard. Finally, Jack has courage, and courage is just what is required to knock the of Wills. So this is the way the little group of deep insiders are talking. ~They are men who don't shoot off their faces for the fun of hearing the sound of their voices.

His second, a fast ball, took No. 9 on the left side and drove it against 10 so hard that the latter bounced from the side of the alley and landed on Np. 7 for a spare count. nspired by the shot, Tucker, roll- ing at anchor, then proceeded to split the' bunch with his first shot, only to shoot the second on the left side of No. 8 for a clean-up. The tough part of the affair is that in spite of these two shots i the last boxes; Plant won. Thus virtue is, or is not, its own reward. De Glantz, brilllant southpaw lead- off man for the Property five in the Agriculture Interbureau Duckpin League, staged one of the most spec- tacular efforts in-the circuit's history in his attempt to stave off defeat for his team and keep it In the lead. After registering counts of 129 and 122 in.games which his team lost, and facing the necessity of a win in order to keep the outfit from drop- ping to second place, he hit for spives, some of them extremely dif- flcult Shots, in the Jast five boxes of his third gawe, to tie it up: and then I made hig sixth successiv re iy the roll-off and counted eight pins o it, eqough to win, ' : X " \ 60 Accounts, 1,652 e kames—Property, 621; Eco- 0: Roads. 50. dividnal _tets—Dixon, 445: Stork.

Property -and Accounts, tied for league leadership in the ‘matter of games won and lost, both received jolts Thursday. Plant Bureau took the first two games from Property and lost the third on a roll-off after tying up at 537. The Interurban cellar chamhps pulled the unexpected and took Accounts over the hurdles for two games, ‘Accounts’ defeat may be charged to the enterprise of some individual who entered the Interbureau’s locker and removed the bowling shoes of Bill Mc- Carthy and Dan Ready, forcing them to bowl in their bare feet. Bill was so sore, feet and body generally, that he shot a game of 143 in his first effort, his fast ball splitting several of the ducks, and put this,in the Ints' won column. Dan postponed his outbreak until_the third game, when, running a splinter in his right foot, he cut loose with everything he had and fin- ished up with two spares and a strike, winning for his team by a margin of 516 to, 499. While Plant Bureau won two of the three games from Property, the match was featured by the brilliant work of De Glantz, lead-off man fér the losers. In a desperate effort to save his team from defeat, he registered counts of 129, 122 and 125. He put over six suc- cessive spares at the finish of the third game, including one in the roll-off, to keep 'his team In first place. . Lind- strom and Goll, with sets of 347 and 325, did the most effective work for Plant Bureau. The So-Kems took two of the three games. from the Public Roads outfit, the sudden illness of Bill Whelan forcing the losers to roll with a four- man line-up.

E ) Another chedule relegated to the past and, to reiterate an old expression, there was no change in the standing of the teams. In golfing parlance the Columbians are 3 up and £ to go, with the runner- up, Beeques, in a position to con- stitute a real threat to the Co- lumblans should the latter’show a tendency to weaken in the drive down the stretch. However, Tuesday night will see the crucial match of the sea- son when these two quints clash, as the result of it will undoubtedly de- termine the ultimate winner of cham- pionship honors in this circuit. ¢ Interstate Commerce, rolling against the Commercials Tuesday, turned in its best game of the season with a count of 526, at the same time estab- lishing the unique record of scoring the highest losing game. on record in the league. The Commercials flashed just a little better brand of pin spiliing and counted 53¢ to cop the game. Z The outstanding performance of the week . was the Hilltoppers’ 546 game, rolled against Bethany, which goes on record as the second best game in the league. It is topped only by the Columbians, all-time record game of 559. % Ann_ Whalen and Lorraine Gulli starred in this match, the former socking the maples for a nifty 129 game, while her teammate came through with 119. Two others reached the century mark, Billie Niner getting just 100, and Elaine Palmer counted 104, g Marjorie Bradt was the winning counter for the Commercials. A count of 120 in the final clash with Inter- state Commerce saved the team from defeat, while her total for the set of 336 was the best individual perform- ance of the week. ‘Margaret Miltner and Irene Forte- ney did some effective work for the Commercials, the former having a game of 114 and set of 30 while the [ 319 13th St. by annexing all three games from the Delhis.
