CHOYNSKI AFRAID
 FIGHT GAME WILL
 BECOME PINK TEA
Old-Timer Laughs at Moves of Clubs to Prohibit Certain Punches-Mitt
 Sport Is Degenerating

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 Joe Choynski, old-time fighter. is worried.
 Joe is afraid the mitt game is de- generating into a pink tea and chif- fon proposition and he opines that be- fore many years boxers will be apologiz- ing every time they hit an opponent.
 Speaking of boxing clubs and boxing laws. Choynski says he gets a big laugh every time he reads of certain punches being barred by those who are responsi- ble for boxing laws. The one big giggle Joe cannot forget is the placing under the ban of the kidney punch, which seems to be a favorite diversion of all boxing commissioners.
 "Why, they don't know what the kid ney punch is,' shouted the veteran Nowadays a boxer strikes a circle blow to his opponents neck when they are in close and the critics call it kid rsy punch If one man hits another on the back it's a kidney punch I don't believe the present generation knows the punch"
 Then the old-tmer took the pains to explain the much-maligned blow. '"The kidney punch is not a sweeping wallop at all. It's jab, and it lands on the soft flesh just over the belt and under the ribs. When it lands the wrist is sup posed to be turned slightly, giving the punch a twist. It's an effective punch and it's good one, but theseI dancing masters of the ring today don't know how to use it. Choynski said again with emphasis.
 The kidney punch is supposed to have been invented by Danny Needham in the long ago. He used it effectively first. He would land it as many as dozen time in a match and usually he broke down his opponent. The space desg- mated for it's landing is unusually tender, regardless of the amount of training a boxer has taken, because the layer of muscles at that particular spot are not very heavy.
 Choynski used the punch against Cor hett, according to the latters admis- sion Although it did not serve to stop Corbett, it rendered his side quite lame for some days after the battle Choyn- sln recently started on a trip to Cali fornia on a personal business trip and while there he will renew old acquaint ances.

selves. But it's different in the case or Bezdek, or Lee Fohl. who was manager of the Indians, Clarence Rowland, who was leader of the sox and other men who were placed in command. although they never were major league performers in the days of their youth,
 Bezdel1 has had his troubles-as did Eohl and Rowland. A team, to be suc-t cessful must have discipline. It must be- leve in it's manager and have absolute faith in his judgment. The star players on teams handled by the three men men tioned, frequently questioned the judge ment of their manager They would figure that the manager, never having player the game himself, knew little about th intricacy of it. As q result there was cor stant friction between manager and play ers-and general chaos.
 STALLINGS MAY GO
 Bezdel is only one of the half doze men who have been mentioned as due fo decapitation. The story will not down that George Stall;ngs is to be supplauted in Boston. Then there is the taic that Fred Mitchell of the Cubs is to be sue ceeded by someone else. Jimmy Burksi manager of the St. Louis Browns, is an other leader whose work through l9I was not sufficiently impressive to ba rumors that someone else was to takt his job.
 For more than a montH the report has been circulated .n New York that Miller Higgins is to be busted as manager of the Yankees and teat Wiibert Robinson is to take his place. If that comes about it means that some new face will peer out from the pilot house of the DodsersN
 On top of all these rumors is still an7' other. It has to do with Hughie .len- nings. The tale is told that the repea ted failure of the red-head Tiger cheftain has disgusted the owners and the fans in Detroit, and that Jennings IS to be succeeded by no other than Ty Cobb.
 All in all. it promises to be a rather busy winter league season if the runored changes are made in the big league man. agements, for new leaders always clean house.. which means general release and numerous sales and ti adcs.

The Baptists Have Been Through Week of Strenu- ous Practice-Interest
 at Fever Heat

The Howard Bulldogs were sent through a week of strenuous training last week bv Coach Dillon, in prepara- ton for .the big game of the season with Birmingham Southern colleee, which is. scheduled for Saturday.
 After the game with the strong Mississippi A & M. team the Bulldogs rested up q day, but Tuesday they met the strong Morgan school team in Tennessee and came off victors after a hard fight Friday the Hamilton Aggies were encountered. and to the surprise of all. held HowaM to a to tie This game disappointed the Bulldog mentor not a little. as he ex- pected his charges to have an easy time in winning. Saturday and Sunday the team rested up. but with today begins a week of the hardest practise of all.
 The Howard cripples are gradually recovering and getting into shape for game. Moody, who suffered broken collar bone in the Alabama game, will be out of the game for the rest of the season. Moody's defensive work against Alabama was splendid and it was on him that Coach Dilll Jn was relying 70 stop the rushes of the Panther backs Wheeler and Afford were not in shape for the trips of the last week, but 1t is thought that they ~ill. be ready for Saturdays game.
 Interest in the game with the Bir- mingham- Southern Panthets is at fever heat among the Howard students, It is for this game that the Bulldogs work hardest. The two schools are ancient rivals and the annual football game affords an outiet for the rivalry.
 Aside from the natural rivalry, there is another interest in Saturdays game. The two teams appear to be very evenly matched and from all indicd-

 Georgia Tech continued its victorious march with an easy victory over DaVld- son. 8 to 0, notwithstanding the rain soaked field, condition which prevailed generally throughout the south. The vel low Jackets record for the season IS slightly more impressive than that Of Ala bama and Mississippi for the reason that Heismans machine has met, on the whole strongerz opponents.
 Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical eliminated Louisiana State university, t f, o. and continued it's string of unbroken victories. This squad has not been scored 1,non this season.
