The Colonials had things all their way in the first half, but after the rest perfod the Con- gregationalists came back with a rush and squeezed out a victory after a see-saw final quarter, The Colonials ran up seven points in a row at the start before Kilduff dropped in a floor shot for the South church’s first score, From then to (the end of the half the scoring was |&mall, foul tries being about the only |attempts which found the basket, The Colonials led, 10 to 6, when the whistle blew, The Bouth church started the third quarter with a rush. Adams drop- ped ope in, but Baker came back with a one-handed sWot made while traveling at full speed in the eenter of the floor. Kilduff slipped in a palr of fouls and Kleist knot- |ted the count at 12 all with a long shot. South church took the lead as the | whistle soundeg.

Chicago, Jan. 15—~Wayne J. Munn, world’s heavyweight wrestling cham- plon, has a repertoire of professions that might glve him claim to a mpionghip as all round perform- Ilis versatility has been dls- played on occasions in the roles of athiete, soldier, farmhand, teacher, preacher and clown. Four days before Munn took the wrestling, title from “Strangler” Lewis he preached a sermon In the First Christian church ih Kansas City, at the request of the pastor, his' friend. Before that the young giant was successively a football star, an army eutenant, a wheat hand, eclrcus clown, &chool principal and prize- fighter. The last was the briefest part he attempted.

' New. York, Jan. 15~=Someébody has thrown a curve at American baseball. Into the discussions of the dla- mond game yesterday came a peti- tion, headed by a letter with the name ot B. B, Johnson, president of the American league, attached, which urges congress to take charge of the American natlonal game, Ji- cense managers, players and um- pires and pay unlion ealaries, The paper circulated here is be- lieved to have come from Cleveland as ‘President Johnson's letter was addressed to Jogeph A. Collier of # that city. The plan set forth fol- lows in part: “No man, or se¢t of men, may own more than one club In each league. “Each club, umplre, manager, coach and player must secure a li- cense from the government each year, and such license may be sus- pendéd for the good of the gamg, or for any other reason. “No club may carry more than 5 uniformed men after the first month of any season. No trades or sales of players between the clubs of a league may be made at any , time without consent of the maority of clubs in such ledgue, “All players in a league must be !pald the safhe amount of salary, de- pending upon length of service in Each club may offer prizes every year for the best batter, flelder and pitcher, provided all clubs in the league do the same and that all prizes are uniform. Each league {will be free to make its own sched- I 0 ule of rates every year.” The potition calls for a commis- sion of “three honest men, appoint- 1ed by the president of the United States, to administer the law, but The commisston would have headquar- ters “away from the political at- mosphere of Washington.” Jall penalties and fines are gug- gested for any violations of the law. The letter signed by Johnson reads: “Your position relative to the reg- vlation of our national game is cor- rect. It is my firm conviction that we can only 8ecure adequate and sat- {sfactory results through the medium of a commission created by the gov ernment.’” 17 Games Listed on Baseball Schedule New York, Jan. 15.—Seventeen games are on the 1925 baseball schedule of the College of the City of Now York.
