Boxing News and Notes
Rv EpED HAWTHOpNH
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

We tripped into the office with
thoughts that were. bonny. blithe and
debonair. last night, Aunt Eleanor
Ann, for we had just ashopping been,
and had bought the editor of Boxing
News and Notes the hughest golf
stocking to be bought in this village
and large spike upon which to hang
it. We have designs upon Santa
Claus this Christmas and when he
slides down our. hot air heater, he'll
probably think he's in the home Of
Goliath. SOME SOCK!
Well, as we were saying before you
interrupted us, our thoughts were b. b.
and d., and then, rs we hoped on to
our Underwood fivver, julius, the
jazzing Office boy, brought over a pile
OF mail and laid it on our desk. The
first envelope that struck our youthful
fancy was one from Hartford, in the
riecticut. On the back was printed this
mystic legend: "Willard, THE Man
Who Grows!' S96 Asylum Avenue.
For second we were dazed, 9874,
293 different thoughts went through
our mind at a speed that broke all
traffic laws. "What can Jess be doing
now"? We thought "What is the
growing into, a fighter" But no, that
was too much to pull even on our trust
ing mind. And then the Asylum
Avenue address gave us what seemed
like a logical clue" Aha, Jess has
finally landed. He is going to make
his home hereafter with the squirrels,
Oh, hickory nuts."
By this time we had torn the envelope
open and drew forth an immaculate
card. engraved with gold lettering
which read: "Christmas Greetings,
Mr. and Mrs. c. e. willard"
Then the light came, and our mind
went back over the years until. through
the fog, we made ous the form of
willard, "The Man Who Grows" like q
wn"'' - the Aowcr garden while YOU
watch him. This Willard visited US in
il Dnce = few years ago and stretched
himself out from Sill to 661a, Just
to prove that it was not necessary to
be SO close to the ground as we are,
money to see him do the same trick on
the stage.
The latest in the way of managerial
excuses for not allowing a boxer to
fight Jack Dempsey comes from Walter
Burke. manager of BARLEY Madden, the
New Jersey heavyweight, who declares
that he could not think Of letting Bart
ley fight Dempsey because Bart could
lick little Jack, and do it easily.
This is how it all came about.
Charley Murray, the Buffalo match
maker, offered Burke 500 for Madden
if BARLEY would mingle in sweet ring
dalliance with Dempsey on December
81. Burke declined the offer and broke
the news this way:
Madden can whip Dempsey. He is
sure of it and so am l, but we won't
fight him. Oh, nun-nun-nun-ro!"
Mister Burke elucidated further and
said that Madden is the greatest cure

Brown, Stroke,
May, Return to
Columbia Grew
Addition of Veteran Will
Enhance the Prospects
for a Strong Eight

On the heels Of the announcement
that Columbia would have a crew next
spring it was reported on Morningside
Helghts yesterday that II. B. Brown,
~, who was stroke oar of the varsity
eight last year, would return to the
university in January and would prob
ably be acting captain.
Brown was stroke Of the 1919 fresh
man eight at Poughkeepsie in June,
1916, and was stroke of the Inflated
1917 varsity eight, which disbanded
because of the war. He tried to enlist
and did succeed in getting an appoint
ment to the Plattsburg training camp,
but was rejected when it was discov-
cred that he was blind in one eye.
With Brown back in harness Colum-
bia will have the nucleus of q fairly
strong crew, because both Parks and
kraus, who rowed in the varsity eight
last spring, are still in the university
and are hardened by a seasons cam
palgning with the varsity football
team.
1t is possible, too, that Calico, who
rowed No. 6 in last years eight, will
be out for the crew, together with
Steinschneider, bow, and Taylor, No. a.
Wormser, who rowed No. 7, has COM
pieted his course in the law school, and
Hawkins, who was at No. 2, is in the
service and not likely to be back for
aorne time, if he comes back at all.

Lloyd's Neck Club
To Become Active
In Outdoor Sports

A special meeting of the governors
of the Lloyd's Neck Club, organized
few weeks ago under the pres. .dency
of Reginald C. Vanderbilt for the pur-
pose of cooperating with the govern
ment in the extension Of aviation prac-
tice, was held yesterday at Sherry's for
the purpose of readjusting this I'M
portant club and sporting project to
the change from war to peace condi-
tions.
The meeting was called at the request
of members. who suggested that the
original intention of the club to devote
its large plantation at Lloyd's Neck,
l.. T., to the uses Of the Army and Navy
departments for training schools and
appliances for aviation and hydro
plane practice, be retained but modified
so that aviation in all its phases may
be included among the future activi-
ties of the club.
In addition, it was suggested that the
vide beach and deep salt water of the
Long Island Sound front be developed
for bathing and yachting facilities, and
that commodious facilities be erected
in time for the coming spring and
summer season,

Flushing Boys
Lose i'm Protest
Of Title Race
High Schools Committee
Sustains Decision of Nc
Queeney, the Referee
BY A. c. Cavapnaro

Flushing High Schools protest over
the awarding of the titles in the annual
cross-country championship race was
oVerruled and the decision of the ref
cree that the "race as run shall standv
was sustained by the High Schools
Games Committee of the Public Schools
Athletic league at its monthly meeting
at the Park Avenue Hotel yesterday.
The protest was filed by A. H. Kill
lane, OF Flushing, who stated that the
contest should not be officially recog-
nlzed. as the runners did not cover the
1ull course of two and three quarter
miles.
While the committee concurred in
The verdict arrived at by Police Lieu
tenant Fl. McQueeney, the referee, it
ala not meet with the approval Of the
entire body of faculty managers on
hand. On motion that the commit
tees action be sustained, nine voted in
the affirmative and five against it. The
team championship was thereupon
awarded to Richmond Hill High School
and the individual title to Marvin Rick,
of Erasmus Hall High School.
The trouble was caused by the plac-
ing of the work of mapping out the
course with flags in the hands of stu
dents Of Jamaica High School. It later
developed that these boys did not know
the official course and cut short the
trail by almost half mile.
William II. Andrews, Of Boys High,
was elected chairman Of the committee
for next year. Robert ]. Shearer was
chosen treasurer and Rowland A. Pat
terson secretary. A vote Of thanks was
extended to Francis E. Brewer, of Cur
It's High School, who has acted as
chairman for the last two years.
An amendment was made to the rules
governing the championship baseball
tournament for next season, which now
call for each school meeting the other
twice
On motion by Mr.. Andrews the COM
mittee approved the Recommendation to
conduct the annual indoor track and
field championship games on the last
Saturday evening in January. The track
suitable armory for the games.
Every schoolboy who has been doing
his bit for Uncle Same and expects to
return to high school to complete his
studies was made eligible Immediately
to resume athletic competition follow
ing motion offered by Henry j. Sill
verman, of Jamaica High School. The
soccer championship was officially
awarded to the High School Of Com
merce team, which succeeded in win
ming all it's eleven games on the sched-
ule.
The committee officially sanctioned
the conducting of the Brooklyn and
Long Island interscholastic hockey
championship tournament. which is to
begin shortly in the Brooklyn Ice
Palace. A committee was appointed to
report the progress of the high schools
league for next year with the object
of centralizing the large number of
games played around the borough.

Esculsiue Story for
Setting the Pace

Our old friend, Jack Hendricks, man.
ager of the st. Louis Cardinals last
year, arrived yesterday from France
on the steamer Megantic. He had been
abroad some months as secretary of
the knights of Columbus.
Jack had nothing to say as to his
future plans or his connections with

tact, he had nothing to say at all. He
was located. all right, by the hounds

Silk O'Loughlin,
Famous Umpire,
Dies From Flu

BOSTON, Dec. 20.-Francis "SiIk"
OLoughlin, famous as an American
League umpire, died at his apartment
here to-day after a short illness from
influenza and pneumonia.
O'Loughlin had umpired for the
American League since it's organiza-
ton, and he had long been rated as
one of the picturesque figures in the
baseball world. His "Ball tuh," his
long drawn out "S-t-r-i-k-e!" and
snappy "Fouled-er!" are known the
country over. These and a series of
other eXclamations, accompanied by
gestures to indicate player as safe
or out at base, were peculiar to
OLoughlin.
The rules committee of the game
passed up the gesture idea when many
baseball followers were urging the
adoption of uniform system of MAX
il'G clear the decisions of an umpire,
out OLoughlin continued his method
with improvements.
He was born in Rochester. N. y.
forty eight years ago. His entry into
baseball came through the assistance
of relative, Stump" Weidman. q
former league pitcher. After umpiring
about New York State, OLoughlin was
assigned to the Atlantic League by Ed
Barrow, now manager of the Boston
Red Sox, who was then president of
that league. Later OLoughlin was
with the Eastern League four yeurs,
and in 1902 was appointed by Ban
johnson as an American League umpire
Since the close of the baseball sea
son last fall he had been in the ser
vice of the Department of Justice and
was assigned to work in the Boston

Basketball practice at Columbia was
suspended after yesterdays practice
for the holidays. In order to mark the
occasion Harry Fisher, formerly coach
of the team, was on the floor with
Fred Dawson, head coach, and told a
big squad about Columbia's traditions
in basketball and how the Blue and
White fves were always among the
leaders in the Intercollegiate League
championship series.
Practice for the league games will
be resumed in January, when several
of the veterans of last years five and
of the team of the year before that
will report to Dawson. The first
league game, it is believed, will not be
played until late in January or carly
in February. There will be one or two
preliminary games In January.

The famous triumvirate. Harry Var
don. J. II Taylor and James Braid,
who contemplate visiting the United
states in 1919, have had sort of mo-
nopoly in the British open champion
ship, as Vardon won it in 1896, 1898,
1899. 1908 1911 and 1914; Taylor won
ie in 1894 1895, 1900, 1909 and 1916,
while Braid won it in 1901, 1905,s19O6,
1908 and 1910. Vardon is the only one
of the three that has captured an open
championship in the United States.
THAT was in 1900, at Wheaton, Ill.
