GAIN IS FORECAST IN HOME BULDING Loan League Leader De- clares 1931 Will See Era of Community Improvement. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, I, January 10.—Resi- dence construction will pick up “ap- preciably” in 1931, people will spend a great deal of money to fix up old homes and thereby improve the appearance of thousands of communities, according to H. Morton Bodfish, executive man- ager of the United States Building and Loan League. In a forecast for 1931 issued from the Chicago office of the league, which is representative of a $9,000,000,000 busi- ness, Mr. Bodfish talks optimistically about the future and bases his state- ments on a survey of the country made in the last 10 days. Conditions Improved. The majority of the building and loan associations reporting for the forecast say that conditions have improved in their communities in so far as the es- tablishment of voluntary new savings accounts and an increased demand for loans for home financing are concerned. ‘The majority of these loans are for the purchase of new homes and not for % | refinancing. The fact that homes throughout the country can be pur- for a lower price than has been possible in the past 10 years has en- couraged many people recently to undertake the installment purchase of their domiciles, as provided by the g&lm and loan plan, says Mr. Bod- “We note tendencies also in many communities that indicate that there will be an appreciable resumption of new-home construction during 1931, first because any normal amount of activity in the purchase of homes already built will soon absorb these structures, and second because many geople like to have designed and built lomes embodying their own ideas. People Keep Homes. “Even under normal conditions busi- ness can expect to be off from 15 to 20 per cent at odd times. The building and loan associations of the country have an enviable record to show for the past year in that, although many of their thousands of borrowers must have suffered from the business depression, real estate in possession of associations is only slightly above normal. This, of course, shows that even in hard times people will make every sacrifice to keep homes in which they have an equity and which they cherish otherwise.” The league manager said that some of the building and loan money is being used for modernization of homes, and concludes the forecast with the state- ment that he estimates conservatively that the league members will increase their assets by a half billion dollars during the coming year, The Home Building and Home Own- story brick dwelling, 7712 Fourteenth street; to cost $12,500.

NEW STANDARD OFFICE LEASE FORM PREPARED Planned to Clarify All Phases of Agreement to Safeguard In- terests of All Parties. Safeguarding and clarifying all hases of the agreement entered into Petween the lessor and leses in rent- ing office space are the aims of the new standard office lease form issued by the National Association of Real Estate Boards. The new form was prepared by the assoclation’s property manage- ment division and approved by the brokers' division and has been sent to all members of both divisions. Such provisions as have been found by long experience to operate most sat- isfactorily for the protection of all par- ties concerned in the transaction of leasing office space—the tenant, the roperty manager and the owner of the uilding—have been included in this standard form, it is reported. Optional rider clauses are provided with the new standard form to cover specific agreements in leasing space in typical office buildings planned for ten- ants in some special business or pro- fession, as, for instance, & bullding planned for the use of doctors.

Avers Commission Took in Too Much Territory Ruling Out Max—Milk Fund Now Has Whip Hand. BY CHARLES W. DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, January 10.—The National Boxing Associa- tion, controlling the sport in 34 States, believes the New York State Athletic Commis- sion, in stripping Max Schmeling of the world heavyweight cham- pionship, has taken in too much territory. That, at least, is the opinion of Maj. John V. Clinnin, president of the N. B. A. and chairman of the Illinois State Athletic Commission, “The New York Commission has acted within its rights,” Gen. Clinnin said today, “under its existing rules, in suspending Schmeling for failure to defend his title within six months, but the commission certainly is at- tempting to take in a lot of territory when 1t seeks to vacate a world cham- pionship title without the advice or consent of the rest of the world.” Gen. Clinnin, himself a lawyer, sald the New York Commission acted be- yond its power when it declared that Schmeling must fight Jack Sharkey and disregard all other suitable op- ponents. “The strictest enforcement of the rule requiring the holder of the cham- pionship to defend the title within six months from the date of winning it will do more to increase the popu- larity of boxing with the public than any other rule of the National Boxing Association.” In stressing the six months' grace period Gen. Clinnin said the N. B. A. may vacate the title of a present holder and then may name the outstanding contestants to meet suitable opponent hl: order to determine the new cham- plon. Gen. Clinnin is investigating the re- -| cent one-round knockout victory Mickey ‘Walker, middleweight champion, scored here over K. O. Christner, the Akron heavyweight. Christner lasted less than two minutes with Walker, finally going through the ropes. Christner claimed he had injured a leg in the fall into the laps of reporters at the Tingside. As a result of that fall the State commission ruled that the reporters must now occupy seats four feet away from the ring, leaving an open space so the fighters can fall on the con- crete floor. The only immediate oc- cupants of the ringside space will be the two judges and the timekeeper. W.-L. HIGH WINS EASILY. BALLSTON, Va., January 10.—Wash- ington-Lee High's basket ball team drubbed Warrenton High, 42 to 17, in & Northern Virginia championship game in the W.-L. gymnasium here yesterday. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, January 10. — It has become a fistic axiom that a dozen conferences equal one heavyweight championship bout. So far the boys have used up only two or three of their quota in the situa- tion revolving about Max Schmel- ing, Jack Sharkey and Young Stribling. Schmeling is champlon everywhere but New York State; Sharkey has been cast by the New York Athletic Commis- sion in a role that closely resembles that of defending champion; Stribling seems to be close to & unanimous choice as the outstanding challenger. The muddle has four main angles at the moment: First.—Nate Lewis, Chicago promoter, is_attempting to match Stribling and Schmeling for the title in Chicago next June, Second —The Hearst Milk Fund is attempting to make the same match somewhere outside of New York, prob- ably in Detroit with Cleveland and Phil- adelphia as possibilities. ‘Third—In event that Stribling balks at terms, the milk fund would shift to a match between Schmeling and Primo. Fourth—Madison Square Garden is not enthusiastic, but willing to match Sharkey and Stribling in New York, with championship recognition by the State Commission awaiting the winner. The milk fund, to which Schmeling is tied by reason of sentiment and writ- ten contract, holds the whip hand at present and seems likely to have the chief say where any match involving Schmeling is concerned. “Pa” Stribling, the Southerner's father-manager, con- ferred with milk fund promoters last night but a hitch developed over con- ditions of the title bout. It was as a result of this disagreement that the possibility of a switch to Carnera was suggested. So far as Schmeling and the milk fund are concerned, Sharkey is out of the plcture. They want either Stribling or Carnera, preferably the former. These developments all indicate that Lewis and his $500,000 offer for Schmel- ing’s services had bgen “left at the post.” The Garden has obtained Sharkey's verbal promise to meet Stribling and Bill Carey, Garden president, wishes to swing “Pa” Stribling into line. This was regarded as an all but impossible task 50 long as Stribling believes he has a chance to meet Schmeling. If he fails to get this shot at the German he might be induced to consider a match with Sharkey, even though title recognition would come only in New York State, ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER NGLERS are still catching big rockfish in the lower Potomac, according to our correspondent at Leonardtown. He says that, owing to the mild weather, many large Tockfish can be seen swimming near the surface. The rockfish usually congre- gate in the deep holes of the river in the Winter months. On December 30 Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Huntington and their son, while troll- ing off St. Georges Island, caught 14 large rockfish, the smallest weighing 10 pounds. This is the first time in re- cent years that these rockfish have been caught this late in the Winter. ‘Wild ducks are reported to be plenti- ful along St. Marys County waters. Dr. and Mrs. Shannon Butts of this city went on a wild duck expedition during the holidays at McKays Beach, near Leonardtown, and landed the bag limit. Other hunters report similar good luck ::Zh mallard, whistlers and canvas- ks. A check-up on the shipment of nine lobsters weighing from 9 to 17 pounds received in Washington by a local mer- chant last Monday and said to have been caught in the mouth of Chesapeake Bay just off Cape Charles indicates that they in all problbmt{, were not taken from the waters of the bay, but from the ocean. ‘When this matter was placed before the officials of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, they immediately wired their representatives in Norfolk and learned that trawlers have been work- ing out in the ocean 85 miles southeast by east of the Capes. These boats have been catching a few lobsters from time to time, and on January 3, according to Deputy Commissioner Radcliffe of the bureau, a catch of about 85 pounds was made. The officlals of the bureau think that the lobsters received here were some of those. If, on the other hand, the lobsters were actually caught in the waters of the bay, they are the first captured in many, many years. 'O offset any arguments by the com- mercial fishermen that their nets have not interfered with shad reaching their spawning grounds in the bay and its tributaries, Glen C. Leach, chief of fish culture of the United States | heries, says, unless the | Bureau of States which are most vitally concerned can be aroused to the seriousness of the situation by the enactment and enforce- ment of fisheries restrictive laws, the final chapter of the relentless warfare MARIETTA PARK 517 OGLETHORPE ST.

He said that a recent investigation disclosed the fact that shad States were permitting the operation of gill nets and pounds nets in unlimited numbers in all waters in which shad were likely to be found. In reply to a questionnaire sent out by the Bureau of Fisheries, it was learned that many of the commercial fishermen were resentful of laws and regulations and, contrary to expecta- tion, many of them were not interested in the conservation of the fisheries. They argued that if fewer shad were caught, higher market prices would prevail for those obtained. Leach says fish in public waters should belong to the State and the Stat: should exercise its right to im- pose a tax or license on their capture. The kind of nets should be prescribed, a limit placed upon the number operated, and the fish warden scrvice of the State should be equipped with fast motor boats, to see that the laws || are rigidly enforced. The State should set aside natural spawning grounds for shad and prohibit fishing thereon. He also says that in some instances shad fishing should be confined to & period of about 30 days, and included ||J| in that period there should b= a weekly ||} closed season extending from sundown Friday to sunrise Monday. This would permit the shad to ascend the rivers to their spawning grounds. Gov. Albert C.

OS ANGELES, January 10.—With the draft proposal of the major leagues accepted with reserva- tions, directors of the Pacific Coast Base Ball League prepared today to close their annual Midwinter meeting by electing a president. ‘The conditional acceptance of the draft proposal featured the sessions of the annual conclave yesterday. The term of agreement under the universal draft of players is to be seven years. from. the date of signing, one reservation provides. Other reservations are: No player is to be selected for draft from a class AA club until he has been in a class AA league two seasons, re- gardless of how long he has been in any other national association club, provided his contract was not assigned from a major league club. Short Season Would Not Count. If a player is signed by a class AA or class A club without previous pro- fessional experience on or after August 1, his services during the balance of the year shall not be considered by clubs of these classifications as one season of service. ‘The majors agree to sign only college players from among those without pre- vious professional experience if class AA clubs agree to major-minor selection rules, Assignments of players farmed out shall be permitted for not more than three successive seasons for major and class AA leagues, in the case of any one player. Informs Committee, Copies of the acceptance resolution were forwarded to J. Ernest Savard of the Montreal International League club; George K. Belden, Minneapolis Amer- ican Association team, and Bill Lane of the Hollywood club of the Pacific Coast League. The three comprise a Class AA League Committee to settle the draft problem. Telegrams also were sent to heads of the other class AA leagues advising them of the Pacific Coast loop’s action and asking if any other organizations were of the same mind. WANT PERSHING TO SERVE.

BY ALBERT R. GATES. Business Administrator, Professional Golfers' | Association of America.) | HICAGO, January 10 ().—Dur- | ing 1930 the professional golfer | would appear to have advanced his position in a substantial manner, particularly regarding his mer- chandising contract with the manu- facturers and in the value of his turn- | over, which greatly exceeds all previous figures. Qolf continues to absorb the | interest of increasing thousands each | year, and while the recent season saw | fewer golf courses laid out, the attend- | ance at the courses is reported as far greater than heretofore, Additional interest has been created in instruction by the use of moving pic- tures, and it is belleved that this is only the beginning of a new day in goif | teaching. Many leading professionals | are now using the moving picture | camera as & more effective method of telling the story of how properly to hit the ball.

In view of the many international matches, it is to be regretted, however, that a ball has not been adopted which would be acceptable to both British and American players.

BY HUGH S. FULLRETON, JR., Assoctated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, January 10.—Len Harvey of England, recipient of one of the best boxing ballyhoos of the Winter, scems to have convinced some 10,000 New York fans that he deserved all the kind words that have been sald and written about him, but he lost his first fight here. Harvey, making his debut at Madison Square Garden last night, lost a close decision to Vince Dundee, & .ltimore middleweight, by the unanimous vote of the officials after 12 stirring rounds. Boos rang out after the announce- ment of the winner. ‘The Englishman went to work early and floored Dundee twice in the first round, but while the customers were still shouting for a quick knockout he settled back into defensive boxing and the rugged Dundee wore him down with a steady punching drive and snatched the decision with a fine last-round rally. The Associated Press score card gave Harvey six rounds, Dundee five and called one, the sixth, even. Right at the start Harvey caught the Baltimorean with a lusty left hook to the head as he came in and bounced him off the canvas. Vince got up with difficulty at the count of nine and ran into another left hook. After another nine count, Dundee held and stalled his way through the round.
