UNIQUE RECORD
ISHELDBY
| JIMMY
Jones Barred IN More States
Than Any Other
Boxer.

When Mickey Walker, welter-
weight champion, and Joe Lynch,
bantamweight boss, after great ef-
fort won suspensions from both the
New York State athletic cOn1fnis-
sion and the New Jersey boxing
board, they broke all existing records
and felt sure that no other boxer
could equal or tie them.
They reckoned without consider
ing one Jimmy Jones, Of Youngs-
town, Ohio, welterweight capable
of gaining q suspension from any
State body regulating boxing. Jimmy
threw CONSERVATION into the Lynch
and Walker camps when he was
banned by two States for the ono
bout.
Fighting Mickey Walker in New
Jersey two weeks ago, they staged
such a torpid affair that both were
ruled out for six months by the New
Jersey body, and by engaging in q
bout with Walker, a fighter under
suspension in New York, Jones was
put on the blacklist.
This tied Lynch and Walker and
Jimmy lost little time in shattering
all existing records. He fought two
battles in Minnesota last week and
the boxing solons of that State set
down James for his rough tactics In
two ARRAYS. All James did was to
push two adversaries out OF the ring.
When it is considered that Jimmy
was out for record his little horse
play in Minnesota should be cod
doned.

manager of boxers and wrestlers.
zone, known as Moonshine Kid
down in that section Of the country,
was having a great time trying to
dodge uppercuts and other annoying
wallops.
"As a rule Moonshine Kid was
good, but this was a time when the
other fellow had 1t on him. And
Moonshine was getting his, and not
enjoying it worth a cent. Finally,
his opponent sent over a light up
percut. Moonshine toppled to the
canvas, where he lay comfortably.
''He grinned as the referee slow
" toIled off the seconds. Between
each count the official tried to
make Moonshine rise and continue
the scrap. It went something like
this:
'One-aren't you going to get
UP? Two-are you trying to make
a joke of this fight2 Three-I've q
mind to sock you q wallop myself.
Four-haven't you a spark OF game
ness? And 30 on till he reached
nine."
"As he called Nine Moonshine
snickered and yelled, Ten and OUT.
Then he rose and left the ring"

FREE-FOR-ALL CONTEST
MAY HALT RING BOUTS

HAMMOND, Ind, Nov. 3.-Mayor
Frank Callahan, of East Chicago,
today began personal investiga'
ton of the free-for-all fight at
Oswego's boxing auditorium in East
Chicago. in which Chicago guns
were drawn and Referee Jimmy
Clabby attacked.
Callahan says he will take no
action until after the investigation.
but many East Chicago aldermen
voiced the opinion that the dis
graceful demonstration was the end
of boxing in East Chicago.
Four aldermen who were at the
ringside helped subdue the riot and
the city ordinance regulating boxing
no doubt will be rescinded.

Mola Not only One
To Fall Before
Olympic Rule

It's quite plain that Mrs.
Molly Mallory win not compete
for America in the tennis
matches in the Olympic games.
No athlete who ever competed
under one set of colors has
been eligible in the past to
appear at the next world
games under another flag.
John Flanagan wasn't permit
ted to represent Great Britain
after he had competed for
America, and Hannes Kohle-
mainen was barred from the
American team because he once
ran for Finland. The loss will
be felt; but no doubt the United
States Tennis Association will
be able to present a strong
front in the net games that are
to be part of the big event.

scoffed at chest protectors as being
effeminate.
Many fans remember the first
time shin guards were worn by a
catcher, and that wasn't so many
years ago. Roger Bresnahan, then
star backstop Of the New York
Giants, appeared with pair of white
ones in a game, and the fans snick-
cred. They thought he had lost his
nerve.
In days gone by spectators rode
batters who tried to wait out a
base on balls. Hit 'em out like a
man." they'd yell. Don't stand
there and take EN-" If the pitcher
couldn't locate the plate, batters were
supposed to reach way out and hit
anyway.
Bunting was considered kiddish.
What's the matter, cant you hit
'em?" fans would shout. STAND up
there and bat like a man."
Yet today waiting for passes and
the art Of bunting are considered
two of the most valuable and es-
sential phases Of the national pas
time.

but that 1t must not be procured
from any place outside the lines.
The reason for the importance of
this question whether molders clay
should or should not be allowed lies
in the fact that the field goal today
is potent factor in the play of a
team. How many times during the
past two years, for instance. has g.
field goal proved the deciding factor
in the victory of a team? All of
which proves the point, and, more
over, that the manner in which the
field goal Is made ought to be made
more difficult and not easier by the
use of molders clay.
