 Executive Body.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Taking up the $32S,000,000 army appropriation bill the House in the first furry of de- bate today showed it was ready to fight any attempt to put the enlisted personnel above 15O,00O men provided for in the measure. Chairman An thony of the Appropriation subcom- mittee, in charge of the bill, said that in reducing the amount provided for the army's maintenance it had re- sponded to public demand, and effort now is being made to put an end to the waste and extravaganza that has characterized the military establish ment for the last few years >
 In the hours time allotted him for explaining provisions of the bill, the chairman was interrupted by volley of questions. The questions and they flew thick and fast from both sides of the hamber-indicated strong support for an army of 15O,OO0 men and approximately 14,OOO commits stoned officers.

Number Is Sufficient.

MT. Anthony insisted this number would be sufficient for all require ments; that the National Guard would become an invaluable adjunct if given the who1ehearted support and sympa- thy of the War Deparement, and that there would be no dIfncuIty Ill brlng- ing down the present total by July |, the end of the fiscal year.
 The total cost of the military estab- lishment this year was $494,0O0, 900, the chairman said while for the next fiscal year the department had asked for s692, 100000.
 Representative Sisson of Mississippi pi, ranking Democrat, on the subcom- mittee, said that in adopting reso- lution directing the secretary of war not to recruit beyond 175,0OO, Con- gross was not prevented from insist ing on smaller figure. He said there are entirely too many civilian em- ployes, and told the House if he could write new military law he would abolish the Army General Staff and shift it's duty to the secretary of war. "The General Staff'' he added, "serves in the magnificent capacity of the greatest buck passers of the army"
 Consideration of the bill was de- layed by fllibustering tactics, which included many quorum calls and de- mand for the reading of the 90 pages of printed text by Representative Mcs Clintic, Democrat of Oklahoma, who also objected to unanimous consent for four hours debate. The house got around his objection, however, with formal motion adopted on a roll call vote, 272 to 9.

My heart has always been with that
ball club he added, land nothing
would give me a greater pleasure than
to be at the head of it again. I won t
apply for the job nor do 1 seek it but
if my friends want me back / owe it to
them and to baseball to go back"
Chance headed the Chicago National

OLD TIMERS BARRED
New York State Boxing Commission
Makes Ruling Which Affects Will
Lard and johnson.

New York, Aug. s. - With one
stroke of its mighty pen the New
York State boxing commission yester-
day made it impossible for any fight
between Jack Dempsey and Jess Will
lard to be held in Madison Square
Garden next fall or winter, as has
been proposed. The commission gave
the knockout blow to Willard simply
by passing a rule fixing thirty eight
years as the age limit for boxers
seeking licenses to fight in the state.
This will bar some one else of
prominence. too-Jack Johnson who
has seen forty-three summers and
winters roll over his woolly roof
Jack was born March 81, 1878
Willard owned up to thirty-seven
at the time he fought Jack Dempsey
July 4, 1919, at Toledo. He's more
than thirty-nine now, and the New
York state commission seem deter
mined that If he comes out of re-
tirement to battle Jack again it will
have to be in some other state.
Some of the boxing authorities
wished to place the limit at thirty
five years. but after some argument,
thirty eight was the age agreed on.
