.CHANEY CONFIDENT
Of GOOD SHOWING
Baltimore Lad Primed for
Battle With Kid
Egan.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 1O-George Chaney.
Baltimore's latest sensation, will get
his first real test tonight when he
meets Kid Egan, of Washington, in a
bout scheduled for fifteen rounds, under
the auspices Of the Eureka Club, at
Germania Mannerchor Hall. Besides
the main attraction there will be an in
teresting set of preliminaries.
In Egan young CLANCY will meet a
boy with much more ring experience
and possibly a better general. The
Washingtonian knows the game pretty
thoroughly and II forced to do so will
bring into use every tactic known to
the ring.
On the other hand. CLANCY, like many
youngsters is expected to force mat
ters from the tap of the gong.
The semi-windup will be between Kid
Tuths and Billy Berger. This bout has
attracted a great deal Of attention.
The other preliminaries are between
Johnny DAILY and aBttling Jones, Shep
Farren and the Country Kid. and RstE

NUMERALS TALKED
OF FOR TECH BOYS
Plan of Distinguishing
Squads Likely to Be
Revived.

The athletic board at the Technical
High School is seriously considering
the revival Of the Tech numerals Ior
athletes who have done we'll on squads
other than first teams.
AS the matteer now stands the ath-
letic board is able to award the Tech
emblem to athletes who in the opinion
OF the board deserve the honor. The
win of the small relay team in the G.
w. U. meet brought the matter to the
attention of the board when it was
learned that the midgets were not
eligible for the emblem, not having
participated in an interhigh school con-
test.
A precedent was established last fall
when a letter was awarded to an as
sistant manager who had done good
work for the team. 1t is thought that
the board will at last grant numerals
to the relay team and perhaps to the
rife team, although a suitable emblem
Is being worked out for the shooters.

Football Safer Under
New Rules, Says Stagg

CHICAGO, Feb. 1O.-Coach A A
Stagg. of the University of Chicago,
has returned to the Midway with COM
pliments for the 1911 football rules
passed last week by the national COM
nittee, of which he Is a member
The Maroon director declared that
the game would gain IN safety and
science by the changes and would give
general satisfaction to the coaches and
rooters.
while the forward pass might have
been changed in one or two more particu-
lars, 1 am well pleased with what was
done" he declared. Il think the for
ward pass will be used more than ever
this year. as the penalty for failura
has been lessene6. The fact that thu
ball will be brought back to the place
where the pass was made, without a
penalty, in case the pass is not COM
pleted, will be an incentive to use il
more than last year.
1T was generally agreed that football
injuries were fewer under the pres
ent rules than at any time in the his
tory of the game. 1t was felt that the
rules as a whole should be allowed to
stand with no great notifications"

Gun Play Quickly Stops
Johnson.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1o.-That Jack
Johnson does not care for firearms
is proved by a story reaching here
today from Grand Junction, Colo.
According to the dispatches, john
son and his companions, both white
and black, were having a glorious
time in a sleeper when one of the
pugilist's negro companions spat
tobacco in a cuspidor near the op-
posite seat, which was occupied by
a white woman, and her dress was
bespattered. A passenger beat up
the negro.
Johnson is said to have started
to interfere, but the white man pro-
duced a gun and the black imme-
diately came to the conclusion that
a Pullman was no place for a fight.

Other Officers Elected At
Annual Meeting of the
Washington Association.
TOURNEY AFFAIRS
ARE WOUND UP
Victors of Recent St. Louis Events
Presented With Prizes Amid
Applause.

W. W. Chase is today entering upon
his duties as president for his second

night.

secretary; c. Z. Brown, treasurer, and
Pop" Meyers, c. A. Hartman, j.
Scharf, and H. T. Waters as the four
additional members to constitute the
executive board.
Tourney Affairs Settled.
AT the meeting also the final business
of the big tournament just closed was
transacted, when the official award of
prizes was made to the various winners.
The prizes were three mottled mineralite
balls and $3.50 in prize money. 1t was
an enthusiastic meeting, decidedly
apropos to the closing of the most sue
cessful tourney ever conducted under
the auspices of the association.
AS each winner stepped up to receive
his prize from Pop" Meyers, chairman
OF the tournament committee, he was
greeted with applause.
Leading Victors.
Especially favored in this regard were
William Miller, winner of all events by
q record-breaking score, and members
of the Fat Mems team, who made such
q splendid showing in the A. B. c. at
St. Louis.
George T. Cox, life member of the
organization, was not forgotten by the
association for his untiring efforts in
making the fifth annual tourney what it
turned out to be, and he was presented
with token of esteem. Mr. Cox made
little speech, thanking the members
of the association, for their remem-
brance, and took opportunity to con-
gratulate the winners for the numerous
records recorded.

AMERICAN GOLFERS
SCORED IN ENGLAND
British Journals Cry There
Is No Peace" Over Sche-
nectady Affair.

LONDON, Feb. 10.-The British golfing
journals having received complete ac-
counts Of the action of the United States
Golfing Association in declaring the
Schenectady putter a legal club throw
up their hands and cry, There is no
peace"
Garden G. Smith. editor of Golf
Illustrated. after reading the fuller re-
ports. says:
1t IL now perfectly clear that the 10y
atty of America is at end, and that the
uniformity Of rule has only lasted so
long as the American demands were
fully satisfied
Apropos of the U. s G. A. plan to ap-
proach the St. Andrews Club with the
idea of a conference on rules, Mr.. Smith
adds:
The ruling body is practically asked
to share its authority with the U. S. G..
A. and other foreign associations, the
laws Of the game to be made by general
agreement among them all. II this is
not granted America at least will make
her own laws. Even now the U. S. G.
A. has assumed the right to amend the
rules Of golf when and how 1t pleases.
The American proposal is quite impTac-
ticable. 1t would simply be giving au-
thority to all sorts of divergent opinions,
which, as in the case of the 'Schnec-
tady,' it would be impossible to recon-
cile. and 1t would hasten rather than
retard divergent rule and practice. The
integrity of the game would be gone.
Surely It is far better 10 recognize the
facts and cease crying 'Feace, peace,
when there is no peace"
The Scotchman says:
Nobody in this country is greatly
concerned whether Americans play with
the Schenectady putter or not, yet it will
be generally agreed that If Americans
choose to do so they are not playing
golf.'

ST. LOUIS TOURNEY
TO STAND SUPERIOR
American Bowling Officials
Say There Will Never Be.
Another So Large.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10.-"Never again, )"
said one of the officials of the American
Bowling Congress, at the close of the
international meeting at the Coliseum,
will SO large a tournament be held.
The entry list is becoming unwieldly
and the expense of handling the event
so large that no city is willing to tue
it, and ! very much doubt whether the
lists will ever reach such proportions
again"
The meeting just ended was a success
from every point OF view, according 10
the statements of this official The en-
try list was the largest in the history of
the A. B. c., the scores made by the
contestants were uniformly good, and
the manner in which the meeting was
conducted was such as to call for praise
from every angle.
Not only was the tournament a sue
cess from the contestants standpoint
but St. Louis turned out the largest
and most enthusiastic crowds that ever
witnessed a bowling event. Never be-
fore have the tenpin men of any city
seen 10000 enthusiasts in one building
at a single session, and probably no
other city ever will turn out an attend
ance to equal the crowds of each of the
sixteen days.
Scenes at the Finish.
When Secretary Langtry and his aides
sent the last squad of individuals onto
the alleys at 5:55 o'clock Monday after
noon, the scores of the competitors al
ready had been tabulated, and it only
remained for the last squad to finish for
the starting of the filling out the checks
for the prize money, and by last night
the checks had been mailed to the ma
jority of the prize winners.
When the ST Louis Tournament Com
pany was organized six months ago the
promoters undertook to raise $4,000 for
the expenses of the big event. They
sold stock in the company, and in this
way raised about $4,000. Subscriptions
and donations raised the amount to ap-
proximately $4,000. and when the meet
ing opened, on January q, there was
still about 5000 to he collected before
all expenses could be met.
Little to Be Raised.
OF the amount needed at the start of
the tournament there remains but very
little to be raised before every obliga-
ton will have been settled. When the
collections from concessions and other
sources are in the company will be
practically paid out of debt.
Although finances of the meeting are
of considerable interest, the scores
maze lIS NOllSCOlll ale SNCll
teresting. No less than fifteen two
man teams reached the coveted goal Of
having averaged better than 200 for
three games, and eighty-six individuals
shot over the 600 mark.
The scores made by the leaders in the
five-man event eclipsed those of any
tournament with the exception of two.
The Flenners' 1924 score was exceeded
by the Iipmans, of Chicago, in 1909. and
the Bonds, of Columbus, in 1908. With
these exceptions the score was the
highest ever rolled in a tournament.

Hacks Hopes Doomed
By Zbysco Showing

NEW YORK, Feb. IO.-Wrestling
Champion Frank GOtch need have no
fear of a return match with George
Hackenschmidt, the Russian Lion" in
the opinion of the 1000 persons who
watched Hack try in vain for ninety
minutes last night to pin Zbysco S
shoulders to the mat.
Hackenschmidt was so lacking in ag-
gressiveness that the spectators could
not see where he would have a chance
10 regain the title that he lost to Gotch
by taCkling the Iowan's game.

GIRLS HESITATE AT HUGGING
Goods of California state University
Refuse to Fall Into Arms OF
Chorus Men--Wln Out.

Berkeley, Cal.-Seventeen goods OF
the senior class at the state university
broke up rehearsal on the stage OF
the Greek theater, declining to allow
male members of the class to put their
arms around them. The objection
of the senior girls followed an attempt
of Fred Carlisle, the coach, to have
the goods of the Baby Dolp' chorus
of 1.-The Hop King" the commence
ment week play of the class, fall into
the arms of male chorus men at the
conclusion of the dance.
Claiming that they were not &C.
quainted with the owners OF the
arms, never having been introduced
to the men, the co-eds declined the
proposed first meeting familiarity.
Coach Carlisle and members of
the cast attempted to smooth over
the strike of the co-eds, but they
remained obdurate and the scene
was temporarily, dropped. The girls
say they came up to the exigencies
of the production by appearing in
short dresses and the proposed ia
miliarity was altogether lacking in
dignity. The feature will be drop
ped for the present unless Carlisle
is able to bring the men and women
Of the chorus closer together.
