BOARD WILL ACT
ON PLAYERS CASE
DECLARING of Macdonald, OF
Central, May Result in a
Serious Complication.

The barring OF Captain ICY" Mac
Donald. of the Central High School foot
ball team from all high school athletics
by the members OF the inter-high board
OF athletic faculty advisors. has taken
more serious turn than was at hrst an
tiCipated.

game. and all effort 10 get the officiating

Central authorities, was Of no avail,

but this was refused. Those in charge
at Central however. have decided To not
let the matter rest. and the case will
come up before the weekly meeting OF
the Board Of Education this afternoon at
( O clock. when both Macdonald and his
father Will make statements.
This is expected to bring up the whole
subject Of anIateurism among nIgn
school athletics. and their tendency TO
play summer baseball on teams within

been considerable laXity in enforcing the
rules against men playing on teams
which paid salaries or divided up the

result in several other prominent school

Defeat of Palmer by Gunner Moir

between Jack Palmer, OF Newcastle. the
present holder of the title. and Gun
ner' Jim Moir. for a purse OF Sl,7JO and
a side bet OF S2,0J0. took place last night
before the National Sporting Club.
Moir beat Palmer on a foul. Moir
forced the lighting from the first and
the struggle was pretty even until The
final rounds In the ninth Palmer hit
Moir low several times and was dis
qualified
The victory of Moir over Palmer
should put some life into the heavy
weight boxing situation IA England. Il
was the first heavyweight bout be-
tween English fighters IN a long while.
Palmer was not considered of much ac-
count as "a boxer, while Moir. who mad
won a number or glove contests in the
British navy, IS considered a good sec
ond-rate fighter.
The defeat of Palmer spoils one Of the
soft things that Jack O'Brien has had
his eye on for some time. There has
been talk of bringing Palmer to this

teenth round had evened up the ad-
vantage McGarry had piled up In the
earlier rounds.
McGaIEy Should Have Won.
Then McGarry had a shade I'm the
fourteenth round and a fair margin in
the last. On that showing the referee
could have given McGarry the decision,
and the crowd seemed TO think that
was his duty.
All in all. it was a very duh con-
test. McGarry's only really effective
execution was at short range. when he
showed an excellent right hook for the
body. His right swings for the jaw
were either blocked OF struck slancing-
".
Several times he used a right upper
cut at short range that was good
punch. He was wild with his left and
landed il very seldom.
Deshler boxed far from his usual
form. He seemed TO he afraid of Nc
Garry's swings and during the early
part of the contest devoted his whole
attention TO protecting himself. cOun-

hurt McGarry or stop his boring-ln.
