Here's Our Reason.

WYE don't care much for pro-
w fessional football. Ere
~ quently we've had to ex-
plain why. Well, here's our best
reason, culled from a Philadelphia
newspaper of last Monday, describ-
ing the victory at Minersville, Pa,
the day previous of Coaldale
against Pottsville. Each team was,
composed of former college stars.
cit was the third period that
fists flew thick and furious, and
only the efforts of the State Con-
stabulary prevented a riot. Coal
dale had punted down the field to
Pottsville's 43-yard line, Carl Geek
hit the line to run the ball out of
bounds and Blue Bonner rushed in
to stop him.
"Bonner hit Beck and his inter-
ferer, and laid them both low.
From the bench, Yeasted, of Potts
vile argued with Bonner. Blue in
vited the Pottsville player to step
on the field and settle the argu-
ment. Yeasted accepted, carrying
with him a solid wallop to Bon
ner's jaw. Blue went down and
spectators and players soon were a
conglomerate mass on the gridiron.
But the State troopers restored
peace, if not quiet, before any blood
was shed, and the game con-
tinued."
Asplundh, former Swarthmore
star, kicked a field goal in the
final period for the lone score of
the day.
Our idea of football makes no
allowance for the needed presence
Of State police troopers.

TREMAINE WINS BOUT,
BUT LOSES DECISION

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-F1ght
fans here today were engaged in a
bitter dispute over the victory
awarded Frankie Genaro, American
flyweight champion In his bout with
Carl Tremaine, Cleveland bantam,
last night Many of the 5000 fans
who witnessed the contest Missed
the decision.
Some ringside writer's gave Ire
maine seven, rounds. Genaro four
and called one even.
The little Italian was at dis
advantage in height, reach and
weight Both boxers put up a
game fight.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-11-30

There are many reasons Tor be-
leving a big attendance will watch
the game here Saturday. The
Chamber Of Commerce has been
working hard to excite interest in
the game from a purely civic
standpoint, which has its appeal.
The Marine Corps, from a natural
pride, has been active in whipping
up interest, hoping to obtain
greater support than given the
Third Army Corps. The soldiers.
in turn, not to be outdone, have
been talking this game for weeks
and weeks. There would be a
large attendance if only these
efforts had been made along the
lines mentioned.
From a strictly football stand
point Washington has every reason
to flock to the Clark Griffith
Stadium. 1t has been a wretched
football season here, no really high
class game having been staged iii
the Capital since the campaign
opened. Tomorrow's battle-and
it will be a battle-promises
more fireworks than have been
seen here all season.
The Third Army Corps eleven
offers many stars Of recent West
Point elevens. The Marines have
perfect galaxy of former college
and Naval Academy stars in their
squad. The soldiers have been
coached by Major Surles and Lieut..
Breidster, former West Pointers.
The Gyrenes, after a season under
Johnny Beckett, have topped off
their instructions at the hands Of
Bill Roper and his assistant from
Princeton University.

MAN STARTS ON SECOND
TOUR OF WORLD AFOOT

MARGATE, England, Feb. 27.-E.
Il. Atherton, formerly Of Chicago, has
set out on walk around the
world. He hopes to accomplish the
self imposed task within ten years.
For twenty-three years Anterior
has wanted to walk around the
world and the present is his third
attempt. In 1900 he started from
Chicago and had been on the road
twelve years when the Balkan war
caused an enforced rest. He had
not gone far on his second venture
when the great war broke out and
he joined the British army.
Atherton plans to make COM
plete circle Of the British Isle,
thence across Europe, through
France, Belgium, Scandinavia,
Russia and the Balkan states,
through Turkey into Asia, across
Persia to India, China and Japan,
the East Indies, North and South
America, and returning along the
Mediterranean coast.

HAWAII OPPOSES
FOREIGNER AS
HISTORIAN
Native Civic Club Adopts
Resolution Criticising Ac-
ton of Folklore Group.
By IRENE CORDIALLY KUHN.
International News Service.

HONOLULU, Feb. 27.-As a poet
Of old and new Erin. Padriac Column
may be all that those who go in for
the new culture claim him to be.
The Hawaiian Civic Club, the only
organization in the territory COM
posed exclusively of native Ha-
waiians, has no desire to criticise
the bellies lettres, but when it comes
to interpreting the Legendary and
folklore Of Hawaii, no one, with a
name, reputation and experience
quite so foreign to Hawaii as those
of column can hope to succeed. This,
in effect, is the stand taken by the
civic club in a resolution protesting
bitterly against the action OF the
Hawaiian Folklore Commission in
bringing Colum to the islands to
collect and prepare for publication
two volumns which shall give to
the world a true impression of the
old Hawaii.
Colum, who is now here engaged
in the work under contract with the
commission and the Yale University
Press, has SO far ignored the objec-
tons voiced by the club. In it's
resolution the club declared that
1.-The employment Of a stranger to
these islands and their people, one
unacquainted with a single syllable
of the Hawaiian language, regard
less of the individual merit or ex-
cellence of such stranger, renders
the collecting Of new material by
him difficult" and that 1.-The an
nounced plan of the gentleman
whose services have been retained,
of making a short tour of Hawaii
and then returning to New York
city, makes it practically assured
that nothing of value will be added
to the store Of knowledge of Ha-
waiian Legendary and folklore"
The club has gone so far as to
hint that 1t may start injunction
proceedings to restrain the Folk
lore Commission from paying out
to Colum and the Yale University
Press the $1,000 appropriated for
this work.

ULSTER ENJOYS
RELIGIOUS
PEACE
End of Bitter Strife Is Called
Victory Over Outside
Forces"
BY International News Service.

BELFAST, Feb 27.-The return
OF Ulster to a period of peace, after
months Of bloody religious warfare,
Is bringing joy to high church
authorities.
Rt. Rev. C. F. Darcy. arch.
bishop of Armagh and Protestant
Primate of all Ireland, declares
that restored peace is victory for
the Ulster people over outside
forces"
Cardinal Logue, head of the Ro-
man Catholic Church in Ireland,
expresses great satisfaction at con-
dlt1ons in Ulster, but feels that the
time is inopportune for a public
statement inasmuch as he is now
at work on a Lenten pastoral.
II am thankful to say that
Northern Ireland is now enjoying
almost unbroken peace" declared
Dr.. Darcy, in an interview with
International News Service.
Order prevails, and law is re-
spected. A year ago the state of
things was quite different A de-
termined effort was then made,
largely by forces operating from
outside, to make government i'm
possible. But the steady and
paNlenC work OF the northern gov
eminent, the self-control of all
classes and the respect for law and
order which is characteristic Of the
Ulster people, have overcome the
disorganizing elements. My own
conviction is that If the govern
ment of Northern Ireland is given
full opportunity to continue it's
beneficent work without inter-
ference. and If no disturbing con-
troversies are forced upon it from
the outside, the future peace and
prospnrity of Northern Ireland is
assured"

Mr.. Devlin was at work at the mu-

was all right. He again retired, and
when his wife went into his room an
hour or two later she found him

place during this period, taking a
lively interest in the politics of the
town and county and in the develop.
ment Of the municipality.
He was an active member OF Oriole
Lodge, /. o. O. F., Of this place,
under whose auspices the funeral
will probably be held. Besides his
WIFE,. who was Miss. Kate Devine, OF
Kentucky, Mr.. Devlin is survived by
two sons, John w and Edward D.
Devlin. both Of whom served in the
navy during the world war, and are
prominent athletes. A daughter died
