Washington, Feb. 7.-As @ re- suit of revelations made by the International Reform Bureau, Congressman Hook of Kansas tn- troduced an amendment to the Rodenberg anti-prize fight picture act of 1912 The amendment provides for the confiscation of all fight pictures shipped in inter- state commerce.
 The ROdenberg act makes un-, lawful the importation and in- terState transportation of films or other pictorial representations of prize fights. MT. Hock's amendment authorizes the seizure and destruction of all such films transported in the malls or in interstate commerce.

Members Of both the Olympic Club and the lndoof Yacht Club will stage big receptions for him. It was at the Olympic Club that Jim made his rep as a sparrer: It was at this same club that he used to fight Joe CEroynski at least once a week It was at the Olympic Club that he first got a peek at Jack Demp- sey, tho Nonpareil, and boxed with him.
 Frank Moran's Opinion of Dempsey.
 It was after the affair at Toledo in te debby of the Hotel Secor that Frank Moran gave the writer his opinion of the present champ, Jack Dempsey.
 Frank was at the ringside that day and bet big chunk on Willard. Af- ter the fight. while laughing at his judgm ent, Frank said:
 Dempsey won, yes, but the fellow can't hit. He knocked that big Jess over all right, but he couldn't keep him on the floor. When hit those boys they don't move a foot after they hit the carpet. MT. Dempsey can't hit, that's all there is to it.''
 Queer notion, wasn't it?
 You remember that Moran hit Will lard once or twice in ten rounds and didn't even stagger him. He missed him 567 times before he finally landed
 Dempsey hit Willard the very first time he let go his left. Jess didn't drop from the first sock, but a mo- ment later did hit the floor, and every time he hit it he hit it hard

McGrazU The 'J P. MOrgan ;
 -Of BnsebnU-

Not so many years ago somebody called John J. McGraw the Little Ma polean-that as a tribute to his strat- egy and other managerial qualities. This morning finds McGraw still the Napoleon of the diamond-though not as little around the waist as he used to be-but he merits an additional ti- tie. Mac" is the J. Pierpont Nor est salaried manager by a tremen- rous margin, with new five year contract at S65,0O0 a season the most successful man who has risen firm the ranks of the players.
 Charles Conliskey, owner of the Chicago White SoX, who in his day was quite a first baseman, used to be held up as the shining example of what baseball could do for 8 player in the way of financial success. But this morning finds McGraw passing ComiSkey, who has passed most of his work on to his son Louis.
 McGraw's new contract dispels re- ports of his contemplated retirement from the active management of the Giants. These reports made consid- erable headway last year after Hugh ey Jennings had been signed to act as Macs assistant. However, now that McGraw has signed for five years more Jennings, apparently, will have to wait at least that long before he steps into the job.
 McGraws success is the result not only of ability but of loyalty. When the Federal League came to the fore in 1914 it offered him S100,000 sea- son to sign a contract as manager of the Brooklyn club. This contract was to be transferred to a New York team which was projected. But McGraw, working for an annual salary of s20- 900, declined the offer of the Federal Leaguers- declined another one in 1915.
 True. he had jumped from the Bal timore club of the newly organized American League to the Giants in 1902, but that act was one of self preservation against the antagonism of Ban Johnson, who did not like the little pepepry third baseman, with his sharp tongue. and suspended him.
 When McGraw was with the Balti- mores the New York Nationals were a joke. Under the ownership of An drew Freedman and the management of George Smith and Horace Fogel. the inimitab1e, the Giants in 1902 fell into the league cellar They had fin- ished last or next to last for many years and they looked hopeless.
 But on July 19, 1902. John J. Mc- Graw, the scrapper, came to the Giants and the American League lost a priceless assets. for had Mac re-

DELANEY, WINNER IN SEVEN ROUNDS.
 DONAHUE'S DOPE

Bob Denahue, who in past years occupied a prominent seat in local f1stic affairs. was "among those'' who looked Jack Delaney over at his training quarters in the Columbia A. c. After watching Delaney go through his work Donahue ventured the bold prediction that the Canuck will get the big end of the crust tn his coming argument with Louis Bo- gash.
 ''I think Delaney will put Bogash away in seven rounds" said Donahue, "I hear a lot of talk about Looey being the c1everest boxer, but must be shown. I believe Delaney is one of the fastest boys in the ring today and Bogash will know he received @ valentine when he meets the East Sider's wallops on Feb. 1S.'
 Donahue entertains the opinion that Delaney is likely no plant his haymaker against Bogash at any stage of the. battle. Bogash mas the reputation of being a great receiver of punishm ent, but I do not think ne will be able to stand up against what Delaney is planning.
 Delaney is doing no boast1ng on his opportunities. Jack Is antlclpaI- ing no short fight. We have seen one another battle, but we don't know each others styles. It may take us five or six rounds to feel one another out" is the way Delaney put it last. night when asked to put guess on the time limit of the fight
 Another big crowd damned the Acorn A. C. yesterday afternoon where Louis Bogash is mixing 1t up daily with Tommy Madden, the Brooklyn middlewedght., Looey looks to be as tough as ,r'on and according to Madden the latter never faced stiffer punch bombarder. That left iab of Bogash's is a stinger and the battle will be all over if he lands one of those socks on Delaney. If Looey fails to knock out Delaney I'll be a den.
