Washington, D. C., Nov. 38— Georgetown expects to win the Jesuit championship of the East by defeat- ing Fordham next Tuesday at New York, and the Hilltoppers will do it without Petle Wall, now at Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass, or “Dutch” Leighty, now at Camp Lee, Fred- ericksburg, Va.

REFEREE STOPS BOUT “Kid” McPartland Sends Johnson and Moran from Ring for Not Trying to Battle Earnestly. New York, Nov. 8.—Leo Johnson, the dusky scrapper from Harlem, and Vic Moran, the New Orleans light- welght, put up so bad a bout at the Harlem Sporting (Club last night that Reteree Kid McPartland hustled both out of the ring in the third round. The action of the referee was loudly applauded by the.spectgtors, who had booed the boxers from the first round till thelr involuntary exit. A It was so palpably an Alphonse and Gaston affair that McPartland entered a vigorous protest. There was no improvement in their work in the second session, and the referee told them he would send them out of the ring unless they put on some steam in the next round. They began to play tag with each other in the third and weré ordered out of the ripg. The management announced that the money the boxers were to have received would be given to some pa- triotic fund, probably the Red Cross. Joe Burman, the Chicago bantam, and Willie Astey put up the best bout of the night, Burman winning de- cisively. Burman dropped Astey for a short count in the first and third for | gallop by a length and a half. It bis second victory in Maryland in, new owner’'s colors.

Person- ly, Byron Houck is a mighty fine ‘chap, but as a pitcher for the Ath- \ letics he caused the scorer and the " fans to get many gray hairs.

Ofiicials Will Continue to Sanctiqn Bouts in New York New York, Nov. 3.—It was learned vesterday that despite the fact that the Frawley law legalizing profes- slonal boxing and sparring matches in the state terminates on November 15, the Amateur Athletic Union would continue to issue sanctions for ama- teur tourneys. Prior to the passing of the Frawley bill in 1911 the A. A. ‘U., which has always controlled ama- teur boxing, sanctioned amateus shows, and so far the members of that body are of the opinion that the new penal code is much the same now as it was in the old days or after the introduction of the bill of 1900 which made boxing a misdemeanor. Members of the New York A. C., the Crescent A. C., the City A. C. and other amateur clubs that ran shows for the amusement of their members will be surprised if they are prevent- ed by the new law. The Crescent A. C. has scheduled its last tourney for the evening of November 14, the eve ; N DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMB: P P EMBLYMEN FOR 7. *R.3, 101 AETNA ALLEYS RESULTS Laneman of Church and Factory Leagues Active on Church Street Alleys—Good Scores Scarce.

In the Landers, Frary & Clark league, the Silvadiums defeated the Corona quintet three games and the Silveroverlaids won a like number of games from the Ther- max five.

C. has a benefit tourney on November 22 for the Army Library, but as it has been decided that it will be a sub- scription affair the managers think that as long as no admission will be | charged the penal code will not be violated. No Bouts Planned. . Paul Pilgrim said yesterday ‘that the New Yorks had not planned any other tourneys until the position of! the A, A. U. was made clearer. It is| the opinion of E. Ditmars, one of the ' most active boxing men in the Cres- cent A. C., that all classes of boxing are ‘dead for the present,” or until a new bill is passed at Albany. A rumor gained ground yesterday that the professionals were about to form | “membership” clubs, and apply Lhe‘ A. A, U. in order to loophole through ! the new ‘law, but that policy will be | impossible, as the amateur authori- ties will not countenance professional | clubs. Some time ago Governor Whitman stated that he was in favor of ama- teur boxing, but it seems he later on changed his mind. One night, at the home of Colonel Corfelius Van- derbilt and in the hearing of R, W. Kennedy, the governor said that thel new bill included amateur as well as professional boxing; that in order to get rid of tho unhealthy element around the ‘pros” the amateurs would have to go, too. ‘When asked yesterday about the A. A. U. policy toward the new law, F. W. Rubien, president of the Metro- politan Association, said: “I am not at liberty to talk officially for the A. A, U, and whatever T say must be re- garded as a personal opinion only. The A. A. U. has not asked for any ! legal opinion, but of course if the law is enforced against us we shall obey it. Long before the appearance of the Frawley law the A. A. U. ran its bouts, and the big clubs, like the New Yorks and the Crescents, of- fered tournaments, partly for the amusement of their members, and they have always been pretty clean af- fairs.

Thomas A. Storey, head of the hy- glene department of City College, urges in the current issue of College Mercury, the student publication. Prof. Storey, who is also director of all physical training education in the state, declares in the article that there never has been a time when it has | been more essential to meintain ath- letic, recreational and physical train- ing activities than now. “In face of overwhelming evidence | which far sighted public men in mili- tary and civil activities attach to physical training in its broader sense there is every reason to feel that we at the College of the City of New York did exactly the right thing last spring when we decided to continue our physical training, recreational and athletic activities as long as we could get enough students together to make a class, play a game or form a team. “Every young man should _train; train for efficiency, train for longevity, train for happiness. It makes no dif- ference whether the future brings i peace or a continuation of war; the importance of this training will be 'l ag great under the one demand as un- der the other.” —_— POST-SEASON FOOTBALL GAME. Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 8.—Announce- ment was made yesterday that the Purdue University football team would play a post-season game with a team composed of Natianal Army men at Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ky., | on December 1.

It will be the only team 'to be entered in.a genuine in- tercollegiate competition. It has been entered in the Intercollegidte meet in Van Cortland Park, New York, Nov. 24, and the squad. has gone into train. ing, following the fall track games last Saturday, under the coaching of William Queal, who has developed Yale’s distance men the past four years. Captain- Walters has six veterans, a larger number than any other Yale team can exhibit this fall. They in- clude Aikenhead, Berman, Comegys, Driscoll and Hincks, with, Captain Walters. Of this number ~Hincks, who ran third in-the dual games with Harvard last year, is, the most relia- ble in the six-mile events. Driscoll won the mile run at the fall meet Saturday in 4 minutes, 58 seconds, about 25 seconds slower than the usual time for Yale games. Walters and Hincks did not start. John Dan- aher, the former Meriden High school star, displayed promise in the fall meet. Captain Walters has taken | ! nineteen of the candidates to the training table, the ngqvices 4ncluding Bunyan, Danahér, Gales, Fisher, Gib- son,; Kraus, Levine, Lunt, Marlin, Miner,” Sheldon, Waterman and Wil- son. An unusually promising freshman | squad has just been formed and dual meets have been arranged with Princeton and Harvard. The team will run the Crimson 1921 distance fliers in Cambridge on the morning of the Yale-Harvard freshman foot- ball game, Nov. 17. Fennimore Coo- per, the former Taft school track star, is probably the most promising mem- ber of the 1921 team, although he is strongest in the middle-distance events. The freshman squad is made up of the following: Boyd. Cooper, Cannon, Glass, Lukens, Litt, Lump- kin, Norton, Parsons, Reker, Semean, | Smith, Simpson, Schmitz, Sauer, Tag- i gart, Tyler and Willlams. A series of paper chases was begun this after- noon by Coach Queal to round the varsity and freshman teams into con- dition. !
