Izzy Winters
 After Dempsey

New Haven, March 22-Izxy Vim ters. Yalle's famous wrestling teacher who Is one of the best mat men for his weight in the United States. said today that if the proposed match be- tween StfRng1er Lewis and Jack Dempsey fails to come about he would be willing to take on Dempsey him self. He said he believed 8 boxer has only one chance in 8. thousand to beat a good rough and tumble wrestler.
 Mosey King, professor of boxing at Yale, thinks that the Strang1er would be too muscle bound to last long and that Dempsey would make easy worlQ of Lewis.

Hughey Ross
 Matched To
 Fight Delaney

Hugh Ross will be the op- ponent of Jack Delaney in the show to be staged April 10 al the Bridgeport A. & A., accord ing to announcement made to- day by Matchmaker George Dwyer. Ross will leave Louis vile and be in Bridgeport the latter part of this week.
 The Bridgeport A. & A. man. agement declared this morning that Young Fisher was never considered for the bout.
 The action of the Bridgeport A. & A. and Al Jennings, De- laney's manager, is highly rel ished by local sportsmen, as there has been a loud clamor for Ross appearance here.
 Some time ago Jennings was not over enthusiastic over Ross powers as a drawing card, but evidently. he changed his ideas on the subject. It should be a great fight. Ross was a big favorite here a few years ago and his admirers are confident that he will prove the master of Delaney.
 Summer Shows.
 While the Bridgeport Boxing Com mission has established a rule of one show a month, it is possible that this will be amended to permit two shows a month during the summer season if there is any inclination on the part of the local boxing public to have them. Commissioner Andy Parker. it is understood. favors the plan, which will be discussed at the next session of the Commission.
 The Commission is also likely to adopt a policy of mushroom fight organizations that are threatening to spring up. Rumors are going the rounds that tent shows are to be in troduced, but it isn't likely that it will be encouraged by the local box ing solons. It has been suggested that all bona fide promoters and the Bridgeport A. & A. come to some agreement on the rental of the open air arena on State street and that all fight shows be conducted in the sta- diuIn. It appears to be the right idea.

in the big league with some further seasoning in the minors.
 Needs More Polish.
 The former Penn. State star has not lived up to the glowing reports that preceded his arrival at the camp of the Yankees, The youngster needs much polish and will have to gain that in the minors for Huggins has no room for him on the bench inas- much as the team is overstocked with utility material.
 If either Bridgeport or Waterbury land the athlete, Ki1linger will be the third former Penn. Slater to paStime in the Eastern League, the other two being his former teammates 'fIinkey' Haines and Myles Thomas, both of whom were members of the Hartford club last season.

it was decided to erect a memorial to
the late DR.. Henry c. Munro, who died

ed and the building will be construct
ed by the hands of the Kiwanians,

ing as superintendent and the mem

with beds. The annex will be devoted
to the juvenile invalids, meeting a long
felt need that will separate them en-
tirely from the adults.

HOUSE PASSES
HARB0R MONEY
The Appropriation Will Become
Available in Short Time for
Deepening of Inlet.
Harding Will Approve

Things are happening with great
rapidity now in the matter of the
deepening of Absecon Inlet to make a
harbor of refuge and port of call. The
future of Atlantic City as a permanent
port of entry was assured last Satur-
dap, when the House of Representa-
tives approved and passed the Senate
amendment to the annual appropria-
ton bill with the provision for $780,.
600 for this purpose, with an annual
allowance of $4,000 for maintenance.
As there is no dispute over this ap-
preparation, the President will approve
the bill, thus making the a%ppropria-
ton available as soon as the engineers
can get to work.
This is a great victory for Congress
mar Isaac Bacharach and Senator
Walter E. Edge. Bacharach was the
mean of having the Army Engineers
make a favorable report on the propo-
sition, and when that report came in
too late to have the House act on the
appropriation last spring, Senator
Edge had the bill amended in the Sen
ate. 1t has been thirty-two years since
this matter was first taken before
Congress, and the fight has been an
uphill one ever since.
The channel proposed by the Army
Engineers, who surveyed the Inlet, is
to be 20 feet in depth and 400 feet in
width. The actual work of dredging
will be done by craft considerably lar
ger than the Absecon. The ship will
remain here, following the completion
of the initial work for about six
months in each year to keep the chan
mel clear of Sitting sands. OF course,
should any damage be done to the
adjacent beach on the Atlantic City
side of the Inlet, the harbor dredging
operation would be discontinued.
Now that the appropriation is COM
ing, the people who have been desiring
to start a steamship line fromAAtluntie
City to New York, Philadelphia and
other ports will Immediately start the
completion of their plans, SO that the
steamers will begin running as soon as
the necessary depth of water is pro-
vided for over the inlet bar.
