To Building Inspector Gilchreest.
Chief souney pointed out the condi-
ton of the floors In the --center Of the
building. A decided sag was noted and
this condition Is reported to have
become aggravated in the past two
years. The city officials present this
morning declared that the building In
its present condition is a positive
danger. Inspector Gilchreest outlined
to Manager Carvel of the local branch
of the Hudson lunch a plan TO brace
the floors which, he believed, would
remedy this condition.

From what city officials we're told

to remain in Its present state even at
the expense of foregoing the leasing of
the upper floors. To health depart

OLYMPIA CLUB
OFFERS BIG
PROGRAM

! BALTIMORE, Nov. -Thirty-six
rounds Of boxing will be the offer
ing to the boxing fans that attend
the show arranged by Bennie
Franklin's Olympia Athletic Club
tonight at the Fourth Regiment
Armory, West Fayette street. The
feature bout Is scheduled to travel
twelve rounds or less between
frankie Rice, local "cave man.,
and Bob Garcia. army champion.
This bout was to have taken
place several weeks ago, but owing
to Rice taking sick at the last
minute, it was postponed. Both
boys are maulers and according to
previous battles engaged in by
both, red hot setto should result,
as for either one. to lose will put
him back in the sen1i-final ranks.
Garcia is best known here for
his two wins over former Bantam
Champion Kid williams, while Rice
has met some of the best light
weights in the country. His main
fault has been lack of condition at
times, but for this contest he has
trained. as he realizes that the fans
pay the freight to see conditioned
boxer, give them run for their
money, and they viii not turn out
to see a lazy, Ssluggish performer.
The preliminaries will introduce
a few new faces. Micly Mooney
the fighting Harp" Of Trenton,
will show his wares against Len
Mahoney, of northeast baltimore,
for six rounds. Mahoney put up
some great battles here last season
against Joe Dundee, present local
sensation. Len in his last try
against the clever east Baltimore
Italian, won a fifteen-round decision.
In Mooney he is meeting a clever
two-handed boxer who will extend
him to the limit.
Young Kaufman, Of Washington
and Chick Virgins, a stable mate
of Micky Mooney, will mix 1t Tor
six rounds. Three four-round bouts
are booked between AL Warfield' ol
Washington, and Frank freshman

YALE ENDS ARE
INJURED IN
BIC CAME

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Nov. 10
Yale's three best end rushers, Tony
, Human, Dick Luman and John
Bingham, were either partially or
wholly crippled in Saturdays game
with Princeton.
Humans knee was twisted SO
badly that he is out of football for
the remainder Of the season. Bing
ham, who started the play at left
end, sustained a badly cut hanC,
but expects to be able to play
against Harvard. Dick ~Lunan 8
ankle was wrenched and 1t is un-
certain whether he can get into the
lineup against the Cambridge
students.
In the case Of Huffman the injury
was merely theareopening Of an old
wound which mad probably cost
him first string selection this fall
The end rush's condition will cause
| End Coach Charley Comerford to
devote close attention this week to
developing reserve material. Ted
Hart and ABE" Lincoln, substi.
tutes last year, are the likely
possibilities.
Deaver and Bingham are the pair
! most likely to be started at Cam
| bridge. Deaver, regular end last
year, has been out of condition all
fall, allowing Human to displace
| him.
Milstead, whose toe was injured
week ago so severely that he did
not practice here against the Prince
| ton game, suffered no Ill effects
l
| He announced his marriage en-
gagemerlt after the game to Miss
| Mildred Bechtel, of Milford, Conn.
The coaches plan no lineup
changes whatever before the Har-
| ward game. They will use Ted
Blair at right tackle, reserving Jack
Miller as first substitute tackle,
While Blairs general condition is
far from satisfactory, he played
| nearly three periods against the
| Tigers. It was remarked today
that, although two members of the
| Princeton team, Bergen and Le
gendre, played the entire game
none of the victorious Yale squad
| remained in the lineup throughout
/ Head Coach Tad Jones is inclined
today to use no scrimmaging what.
ever this week, the daily practice
of signal rehearsal and dummy foot
ball. The squad will be given no
rest today, all reporting for signal
work which will, however, amount
to merely limbering up practice.
Yale's plans for going to Harvard
have been changed, and instead OF
departing from this city on Thurs
day, as has been the case for a
quarter century. they will go Fri
day morning, taking autos for the
Harvard stadium on their arriva'
in Boston. They will return tC
their hotel Saturday night for their
breaking training banquet.

mind to give Fred Dawson's Corn.
huskers a hard battle.
Colgate must be given full credit
for it's fine game. We always knew
that Dick Harlow was a capable
coach. In our opinion, he is one of
the best in the country. The fact
that his men were injured caused
his team from showing something
Like their real strength earlier.
Harvard will have to recuperate
from the lacing Brown gave it's
representatives on Saturday If Tad
Jones' New Haven charges are to
be held in check on Saturday
Brown sure did treat the Crimson
lads to a fine beating. While only
substitutes for the most part made
up the Harvard team, yet it is not
often that a Brown team can beat
Harvard substitutes as they did last
Saturday.
Fisher and his assistants are sure
to put in much hard work durinS
the next few days. Yale must be
met as in former years this week
/ end. That is what has been made
the battle cry at Cambridge.

Such owas the statement made by
Admiral Cary T. Grayson this
morning. The Washington turf
man had no alibis to offer for the
ignominious defeat of his King
James colt at Latonia two weeks
ago. When asked as to the direct
cause for My Owns failure against
Zev and In Memoriam, he would
make no statement other than. 1t
was just one of those things which
sometimes happen"
Admiral GraySon further stated
that he had received offers from
the Business Mems Association Of
New Orleans and also the Tanforan
Association which conducts a track
just outside of San Francisco.
1t is hardly likely that the Wash
ington turfman will seriously con-
slider any offer which comes from
The coast for the very reason that
it would keep his colt in training
well into the winter months. And
it is hardly likely that he will ac-
cept the offer of the New Orleans
association.
While the Louisiana officials
will perhaps come forward with
an attractive and alIuring' purse
it must be remembered that the
rainy season in the South general
~ makes its appearance at about
this time and one of Admiral
GraysOn's stipulatiOns to any
match which he might enter My
Own will be contingent upon
fast track.
If My Own trains soundly next
spring he will be a sure starter in
he Ascot Gold Cup, England's rich
| est and most pretentious fixture for
| four-year-olds and upward.
Admiral Grayson has already In
formed the English racing body
hat he will ship the son Of King
| James provided he is fit by the
first Of May. During the early
| months of American racing there
1re few fixtures Of prominence for
four-year-olds.
Harry F. Sinclair's Zev is due to
| '"riVe at Bowie sometime tomor'
low. With him will come Sam Hill
dreth, and it is then that the final
arrangements for the Zev.My Own
race will be consummated. Whether
| Carl Wiedemann will ship In Me-
| 2loriam East is a matter of conjec
ture. Admiral Grayson's challenge
named both thoroughbreds.
| The last of the Eastern meet
Jngs will he inaugmrated at Prince
| Georges Park tomorrow afternoon.
Some five or six hundred horses
are quartered at Bowie and Ben
ming, all ready to take part in
the Southern Maryland AssOcia-
HOn's eleven-day meeting.
Two $4,000 stakes, two Of $500
each and the possible special be-
| tween My Own and Zev, or My
own, Zev and In Memoriam are
the salient features of the session.
The $4,000 specials will be the
southern Maryland handicap, a
dash of one mile for two-year- -olds
