Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

James Joy Johnston, Bandit Boy. has
been missing from his usual haunts
for the last twenty-four hours, and it
is rumored that he has rented a cubby-
hole on the topmost pinnacle of the
Metropolitan Life Building and has
spent every moment focusing pair
Of binoculars on Madison Square
Garden.
If Martin McCucs boxing bill be-
comes a law the old Garden will be
the most sought after place in New
York among the boxing promoters, and
there will undoubtedly be some tall and
lofty bidding for lease on the place.
lhc Bandit is just as willing as any
body TO get his clutches on the Garden
and consequently he is keeping a close
watch on the building to sec that no
suspicious looking individual with
money gets in before him.
Johnston would undoubtedly make a
bowling success of boxing in the Gar
den; lie was the only man who ever
made the big hut paying proposition
when bouts were held there. He knows
what the public wants and he knows
how to give it to them in the best
style.
Professor William Grupp, of the
"faculty" of Grupp's Gymnasium and
Athletic Club. files a brief with me
ancnt his troubles with the courts, in
which he says: "My attorneys claim
that the new law which prohibits box
ing is unconstitutional. owing to the
wording of Section 1910. This reads:
:" hoover engages in a public or pri-
Vate sparring exhibition, with or with
out gloves, at which an admission fee
Is charged, directly or indirectly, is
guilty of a misdemeanor.'
"MY attorneys contend that Il is not

for Championship

Erasmus Hall High School gained
commanding lead for the Brooklyn
Queens championship tourney by de-
fcating Flushing High School in the
first game Of the double header Of ice
hockey at the Brooklyn Ice Palace last
scoring came in the second half when
the Flushing players, concentrating all
their efforts on Bob Hall, the Erasmus
find. weakened their defence thereby.
Jamaica High School scored Il 9 to 0
shut-out over Manual Training High
School in the other game played.
Thompson, the Long Island teams left
wing, tailed both goals from srimmagc
plays.
According to the veteran hockeyists
present, schoolboys have never played
better hockey. Few penalties were
meted out despite the strict adherence
TO the rules for the first time. Bob
Hall, who halls from Duluth, fairly
dazzled the Flushing team by carrying
the attack into it's territory. He in
variably stopped the rush Of the Flush
ing players when near his own goal to
carry the puck right back into Flush
ing ground. Hall skated like a vet
eran. handled his stick we'll, and was
in the thick Of every fight The Bot
ting brothers, Vincent and Harold,
were also of considerable aid to the
Erasmus team. Flushing's play plain
ly showed that it sadly missed Oliver
Afford, its husky centre, who left a
few days ago for Annapolis.
Harold Botting scored first in the
second period in 1905, followed three
minutes later by a goal by Hail. who
skated through the entire Flushing
seven. Hall counted his second goa
in 1916 from scrimmage play. Vim

u. S. Aviators Are Mention.
ed in Official English
\ Communique.

An American Aviation Base, Some
where in England, July 1S.-The feat
of two American aviators in rescuing
the crew of a British seaplane which
had BEEF forced to land on the sur
face Of the North Sea after an en-
co"nter with a group of German. air
planes, received mention this week in
a British communique.- The official
statement, however, said only:
I'm one case a stray bullet shot
away a control, and the British ma
chine was forced to alight. The crew
were subsequently rescued by another
to search for them" y
The rescuing machine was manned
by Ensigns Benjamin Lee and J. J.
Sch;effelin of the American naval avi-
alton service. Ensign Lee gave the
Associated Press the following ac-
coun, of the flight:
"Our commanding Officer and two
mon left the station at $3.50 in the
morning on a flight toward the Dutch
coast. Shortly after sunrise they saw
on the horizon five spots. which rap
idly assumed the outlines of German
seaplanes.
Five to one Is hardly fight, so
the commanding officer, after a first
driving charge through the enemy's
fol- nation, showed down the rose Of
his plane and headed homeward. His
two men fired sharply from their aft
er guns, forcing the German scouts to
keep their distance. They were get
ting, away all right, even leading the
enemy into dangerous territory when
suddenly a chance shot from one Of
the Germans took away a control and
the flying boat crashed nose down.
The three men fought clear of the
WI eckage and got hold Of a floating
spar. while the Germans, realizing
they were in dangerous country, scoot.
ed away homeward.
1T was four hours later, when the
patrol was long overdue, that. we
wert sent out to search for them: We
