BASKETBALL MEN
TOD|SCUSS CODE
Floor Mentors and Coaches
Gather to Talk Rules at
Y. N. c. A.

In an effort 10 cut some OF the
roughness out OF the floor game as
played here, basketball coaches. ofn-
claIs and players from schools and
colleges have been invited to attend
the meeting set for tonight at the
Y. NJ. C. A, 1885 q street northwest.
All those interested in the moor
game here from schools. colleges or
independent teams have been asked
10 attend. II il expected that all men
officiating in games Will be on hand'
as a frank discussion OF the rules Is
asked for. with probably discussion
OF the basketball code by those VINO
attended the Interpretation rules
meeting in Philadelphia not long ago
According to followers OF the games
here, there has been u deal OF rough
ness. The games have resulted In
competition which has signally failed
TO bring out the best for basketball
playing.
From a standpoint of the fans there
has been no cause for displeasure. as
close, hard-fought contests have
ruled. Little criticism has been d.
rected at the officials. as keen rivalry
existing between teams in games has
resulted in contests which could hard
ly have been classed as basketball.
The whole matter will be threshed
out tonight at the Y. NJ. c. A. The
meeting has been called by w. M.
Apple, chairman OF the high school
faculty athletic board.
The high schools are more inter-
ested in the proceedings than the col
leges Beginning tomorrow with the
Western Business contest, the schools
enter the second half OF what is ex-
pected to be the closest basketball
race in the history of the floor game
here.
The scholastic mentors want to
know just how the rules are going to
be enforced during the remainder of
the season.

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
TO PLAY HATCHETITE
College CUNTS Meet in Central
Coliseum Tomorrow Niqht.

Catholic University will invade the
Central Coliseum tomorrow night to
play the George Washington Uni
versity quint.
Both teams lost their last starts
which should argue well for a meet
ing tomorrow night. In the engage
ment between the teams at Brook
land just after the holidays, George
Washington was defeated by three
point margin.
Since that meeting both teams have
improved considerably. The Brook
Ianders will probably start Lynch and
Dunn, forwards, Donovan, center and
Fosse and Gleason guards with Nc
Namara, Lynch, ,O'Brien and Kelly in
reserve.
The Hatchetites will have Spring
ston, Eskew Loehler. Daily and
Boteler in the lineup with Alstop,
Spears, Bracklow. Hatcher and Kap-
Ian held back.
Frank Schlosser and James Y.
Hughes have been selected to off,

RABBIT PUNCH IS
FAIR, THINKS TAD
by TAD.

Down in balmy old Australia the
managers of defeated pugs are max
ing a kick at Eugene Criqui, the
French feather, because he uses the
rabbit punch" and uses 1t effectively.
The little frog eater has been a big
success down there, and the man
ayers can't get boy to lick him. His
rabbit punch" has them worried
silly, but the sporting editors are with
Criqui to a man and declare that he
is a good fighter and is absolutely
fair.
The rabbit punch" is not barred in
Australia, although some managers
of pugilists tried to have it declared
a foul blow.
1t is Just a punch on the back of
the neck at the base Of the brain. To
the majority of pugs it should be
about as harmful as a slap on the
foot.
We saw the Dempsey Brennan pic
lures again the other day. and
Dempsey's use of the punch on Bren-
nan was quite plain. 1t was the
final slam.
Milburn Saylor used it in Australia
years ago when Jack Kearns took him
there.
AL Palzer used it on Bombardier
Wells, knOCklHs tHe taii Ehs iohhah
silly.
Criqui uses it now and is a master
at ii.
The National Sporting Club rules
regarding points in fight follow:
Marks shall be awarded for "at-
tack" direct clean hits with the
knuckle part of the glove of either
hand on any part of the front or
sides of the head or body above the
belt; defence" guarding. slipping.
ducking, or getting away. Where
contestants are otherwise equal the
majority Of marks shall be given to
the one who does most of the leading
or who displays the better style"
To US, the back of the neck seems
to be above the belt.

TWO K. Of c. F|VES
|. PLANNING MERGER
Potomac and ksane Council
Combination Would Possess
Cream OF League.

Now that the Potomac Council quint
OF the X. OF G. League has about
COPIED the golfalon offered by the
knights, the Keane Council team,
which Is most likely to be the run
ner-up in the league, and the former
are planning TO combine ana play
under the name of the knights OF
Columbus collegians.
After the consolidation has taken
place the team would not only possess
the cream OF the X. of c. League. but
also some of the best basketers In
this city.
PERSONNEL OF CUNT.
The Potomac quint Is composed OF
the following stars; Duny. a forward,
of Gonzaga College and Alyosius Club
fame; Bob OLone, former Catholic
University star forward and South
Atlantic selection; Hoibrook, center
that any team would be glad to have
on their roster. 1t will also be worth
mentioning that Holbrook while play
ing with the Aloysius Club team
played Gene Vidal OF Camp Humph-
reys TO a stand still. Dutch" Frank,
a letter man of Gonzaga College and
c., Nader, a Mt. st. Joseph star are
holding down the guard positions on
the Potomac quint. On the reserve
the -
Hap" Collins, ]. o'Lone, and Il.
Nader.
The Keane Council is represented
by the following: Joe NJ. Nancy.
forward who has made such a name
for himself while playing in this city
that a certain local college Is dicker-
ing to secure his name in their line
up; Walsh, a veteran of four years In
the Western conference. holds down
the other forward position. McEvoy
and McPhilomy, alternating at center,
are a hard pair to outjump and cover.
Both are accurate at caging the ball
Murtagh, a former Gonzaga man and
an all-high guard. Is Keane's most
aggressive man; Jim Hogan. Jersey
City lad who made great name for
himself at st. Peters Academy In that
city, Is Keane's other guard.

most any defy put up to them. To
date a manager for the Collegians
has not been selected. but the Knights
have two or three hard working men
in mind, one of whom will in all prob
ability be appointed to the position.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-01-31

Some OF the. pitchers Of the early
days OF the game relied on speed for
effectiveness. Many OF them used a
change of pace that was so well dis
guised the heaviest batters were un-
able to connect with the delivery.
"Pansy" VOTERS was considered
the speediest pitcher in the game in
the sixties and one of the stars of his
day. He pitched absolutely within
the rules and was never cautioned by
the umpires. who were very strict in
their enforcement of the pitching
rules. 1t was real pitching, not
throwing.
The speed which VOTERS could get
on the ball was. really remarkable.
There are many old timers now liv-
ing, who will remember VOTERS ef-
fectiveness, one of whom is SLOW
BALI Martin, who is now employed
by the noted caterer, Harry Stevens.
"Frasney" Martin himself pitched
in the sixties and was one of the stars
OF his time. He still persists in his
claim that Bobby Matthew was the
first pitcher to use the curve, not
Arthur Candy" Cummings, who is
generally credited with that great
honor.
Wolters pitched for the old Mutuals,
of this city, and their greatest rivals
were the Atlantics. of Brooklyn, who
had as their pitcher Charley Zettlein,
considered by many fans of those
days to be even speedier than Volt
ers. Zettlein was among the first of
the old-time speed merchants" and
the battles between the rival pitchers
were many and thrilling.
Another very speedy pitcher in the
SOS and 70's was Dick Mcbride, of
the famous old Athletics, of Philadel-
phia. 1t was largely due to McBride's
splendid pitching that the Athletics
won the championship in 1856, 1867
and 1868.
Al Spalding was not such a speedy
pitcher as either VOTERS, Zettlein or
Mcbride. Al did not come out promi-
nently until a few years later, but he
was among the first to develop a
change of pace, and 1t was this de-
livery that made him effective. He
disguised it so well that II was sew
eral years before the best batters of
that time tumbled to it.
AS in the case of Christy Mathew
son the batsman would say about
Spalding: why l ought to knock the
ball out of the lot. He hasn't thing"
and he didn't have a thing but that
little change of pace. This delivery is
just as effective now as IL was then.

TWENTY-FIRST IN
BIG SERIES

This is the twenty-first of a
series of "Old-time Fights"
written by authorities on pugil-
ism who were famous in their
day. Others will follow.
This tale is of the fight at the
Coney Island Sporting Club on
January I, 1900. when kid"
Mccoy rocked Peter Maher into
Sleepland in the fifth round. 1t
was a furious fight from the
first call of time" Maher
adopted his usual rushing tao
tics and tried to get in his IA
nous soporiic wallop. but Nc
Coy was too crafty.
He dazzled and tired Maher
by his marvellous speed and
skill and then landed the IA
nous "corkscrew," which
dropped Maher helpless to the
floor.

JACK KEARNS
WORRIES NOT
Willard Bout May Be Cancelled,
For He Dreams Only of Car
- pentier Clash.
By DAMON RUNYON.

CHICAGO, Jan. S1.-As far as the
Dempsey camp knows. the match
with Jess Willard is still on for
March II. and they don't care a
whoop where the affair with Georges
Carpenter takes place. SO long as
II comes off according to the original
plans and specifications.
Incidentally, Jack Kearns. manager
or Dempsey. who made the above
announcement as he sheltered through
Chicago this snowy day. says that
w. A. Brady and Charles Cochran
could not very well withdraw from
the compact without forefiting some
little money.
However. he does not mind their
withdrawal IL Tex Richard is willing
to go ahead with the match. Kearns
said that under the agreement the
stakeholder, Robert Edgren, is the
sole arbiter of all disputes.
EDGREN IS WILLING.
II saw Edgren in Los Angeles"
said Kearns, "and he says he will in
sist on them going through with the
match"
or course. IL Richard is willing to
assume all the obligations of the af-
fair 1t does not make any difference
II his partners withdraw. Kearns says
Montreal or any place suits him.
Dempsey's manager comes direct
from Portland. where Dempsey boxed
an exhibition with Terry Kellar the
other night for which the champion
received $16,000f Kerns was sum
moned to New York by Richard not
only in connection with the Carpen-
tier matter, but with the Willard
match.
GUARANTEES 500, 900.
As was stated some time ago when
. doubt was expressed that the affair
would ever take place in New York.
Richard Is said to have guaranteed
the big fighters in the neighborhood
of 100000.
Dempsey and Brennan failed to
draw $4,000, and while the Demp-
sey-Willard match is perhaps a bet
ter drawing card, the State Boxing
Commission has since put a limit on
the price Of seats. At SIS tops" the
promoter could not come even close
to his guarantee.
Richard may decide to take the
match to some other city, but Kearns
seems rather Indifferent to the fate
' of this particular event. He says he
: has many plans for Dempsey, which
he will announce as soon as he learns
something about the Willard affair,
and apparently he would not be great
ly disturbed by a complete cancella-
ton of the match.

WESTERN AND BUSINESS

Western and Business are down for
tomorrow's titular floor contest in the
Central Coliseum. 1t is the only
game of the week for the tossers who
are starting the second round of
their series and the second half the
year in school.
Western is picked to win handily
from the Business lads. The Red and
White players stopped Business with
80 to o score in their opening en-
gagement. Business has not won a
game as yet in the series.
Next week the schools continue
their Tuesday and Friday contests at

His left shot out high and straight,
took a downward turn and dropped
Or Makers chin. 1t was a revised
edition of the Mccoy corkscrew, and
Maher sat down only to get up
beaten man. Mccoy never gave Maher
the second look after the punch
landed. He turned with a smile and
walked over to his corner. None
knew better than he what that blow
meant.
In this fifth and last round Mccoy
sent a vicious left to the jaw. AS
usual Maher was there to receive 1t.
1t shook him up and before he came
down the kid" sent another to the
same spot. The "Kid" generally sent
'em in pairs. Maher got q weak effort
home on the top of McCoy's porous
plaster and Mccoy gave a happy re-
turn by smashing him twice in the
face. Peter was pretty well Blinded
by now and his punches were keeping
ragtime.
Maher rushed and they clinched.
Maher tried to do things in the clinch,
but the "Kid" showed him how foolish
he was. In the breakaway Mccoy
welted him on the side of the head
and then left him for a few seconds.
AS Maher tried to gather whatever
wits he had left the Kid promptly
jabbed him in the eyes. Poor Peter
tried another effort to pull himself
together. But he was too far apart
and the "Kid" made that jump and
queer long-range punch that put him
out. The time was 2 minutes 221A
seconds
