HEAV|ES NOT To
MEET THIS
WINTER

II is pretty certain that the in.
door season will see no big heavy
weight battle. The promoters and
managers are looking to next sum-
mer. Outdoor fights last summer
set a precedent for purses and gate
receipts which fighters cannot for
get. They think and talk of
heavyweight matches now in terms
of at least a million. The ban en-
boxing bouts in baseball parks will
mean that a new open-air arena
will have TO be built in a hurry
next spring.
The announcement of a probable
bout between Firpo and Wills is
a sure indication that the promo
tiers are sounding public opinion on
the efforts of Wills to get a chance
with the heavyweight champion.
Along with F'irpo's announce
ment that he is making an effort
to improve his boxing style5 it be
gins to look as if heavyweight ac-
tfvities would start early in the
summer and continue through the
outdoor season.
Dempsey wants to have three
bouts next summer because his
experience in the Gibbons fight at
Shelby has made him certain that
he must keep busy TO be at his
best. He wants 10 more long lay,
offs.

AN ALL-STAR
ELEVEN

Having granted the Independent
team Of Alexandria the privilege Of
strengthening with stars from the
Virginia A. G. and Fort Humphreys,
the Mohawks expect to use all their
strength in tomorrow game at
Union Park. at 2:30 o'clock.
Fort Humphreys won the cham
pionship Of northern Virginia. The
two other strongest teams were the
Virginia a. c. and Independents.
Thus it is apparent that the Mo.
hawks will face virtually an aIl-star
eleven. The game will serve to
keep the Indians on edge for a pos,
sible contest with Interior.

This year, though the squad
could not be augmented from the
new class, due to the eligibility
rules, there were enough old play
eTs on hand to make the prospects
very inviting. The squad did not
really lose a player, as Parr was
not able to play last year.
The sport received decided sell

the football squad would continue
through December In order to pre-
Fare for the game on the Pacific

that basketball would lose for the

fist fight during the Mt.
Airy-Hobart professional football
game? Well, here's the official
statement from the referee, as
appearing in the Philadelphia
Record:
Gas referee of that game wish
to state the following: The fight
started between Dick Hendren,
of Hobart, and Brady, of Mt.
Airy, and in the rumpus John
Hendren hit Schielfy, of Mt.
Airy, who was an onlooker to the
fight, in the eye. / therefore
banished the Hendren brothers
and Brady from the game. To
this action the Hobart team OBJ
jected and insisted that | allow
the Hendren brothers to remain,
when they had at least six substi-
tutes to take the place of the
players banished. Refusing to
abide by my decision / forfeited
the game to Mt. Airy.
81 wish to call your attention
to the fact that at the time the
game was ended Mt. Airy was in
the lead by the score of 6 to 0,
having scored in the first few
minutes of play, the Hobart rally
having taken place after the Mt.
Airy score.

WHY BE sLOvENLY?

ONCE again a fellow passen-
- ger in a subway train has
pointed a moral. What is the
use of wearing good clothes II
one does not take care OF them?
This gentleman was wearing q
dark blue chinchilla cloth over
coat, double-breasted, pla l n
sleeves, with a half belt in the
back with two buttons. The
fabric was probably an expen-
sive one and the style quite
smart. He had on a soft pearl
grey hat with a band and bind
ing of a lighter grey shade. A
dark patterned suit, brown
spats with tan under straps,
black oxford shoes, chamois
leather gloves and carried a
malacca cane.
He should not have worn a
soft hat with such an overcoat,
it called for a derby. Brown
spats with black shoes is not
a good combination, dark grey
would have looked better.
Brown spats should be reserved
for brown shoes. But these crit
icisms are a matter of taste.
What was indefensible was
the condition of his clothes. His
hat, especially the binding, was
dirty and it really is impossible
for a man to look we'll groomed
wearing a dirty hat. His gloves
were also stained and soiled and
should have been at the clean
ers. But his belt on the back
of his coat was hanging down
on one side because one button
was gone entirely and the other
was hanging onto life by the
uroverbial thread. Let us hope |
the gentleman in question was |
prosperous and holding down |
a safe job, for if he was by |
