Icy blasts from the frigid north
west, which have held the west in
their grip for several days, struck
Washington yesterday afternoon
bringing with them the coolest wave
since the winter of 1s17-191s. The
official thermometer at the weather
bureau at 10 o'clock last night
registered 10 degrees above zero. The
forecaster predicted that 1t would tum-
BILE to at least 8 before morning.
1t will be "nippy" today and to-
night, Forecaster Bowie announced
last night but tomorrow it will warm
up materially and by Wednesday the
severest cold wave of the winter will
be bitter memory. Fair weather
also is forecast for the next two days.
The cold wave advanced rapidly

weather to all sections east of the
Mississippi river, except extreme
southern Florida. Temperatures also
were below the freezing point last
night as far south as Louisiana, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Northwest
Florida
Drop Comes Rapidly.
The first of the cold blasts hit
Washington about 10 o'clock yester-
day morning, when the thermometer
registered thirtytwo degrees. Dur
ing the afternoon the temperature
dropped decidedly until s o'clock.
when 1t had toboggoned to twelve.
Two hours later it registered ten,
although in outlying sections lower
temperatures were reported.
The present Arctic weather, how
ever, will not set new low record
for Washington and contiguous ter
ritory, it was said by Forecaster
Bowie. The coldest wave that ever
struck Washington was on February

down. to 15 degrees below zero. On
January ]. 1881. the Temperature
came 1 degree within this record.
when IL degrees below zero was
recorded. The only other sub-zero
temperature recorded in Washington
was on January 5. 1877. when the
Thermometer dropped to degrees
below.
Many Autos Stalled,
The cold wave played havoc with
motorists. Scores of machines with
radiators frozen were stalled in all
sections of the city last night. One
taxi company reported towing
twenty-five of the frozen cars The
demand for alcohol for automobile
radiators resulted in a boost in the
price of the anti-freezing fluid. Some
service stations, which had been re-
failing the alcohol for IS cents a
gallon, increased the price to 81.

Having landed the Republican

to get the Olympic games for
1928. AS almost every other
city in the United States wants
the next international meet,
there is no reason why Cleve-
land should not put in its claim.
Last year San Francisco sent a

He couldn't because Paris had

SNSSNAs
Other stories were to the effect
that the promoter planned to go
through with the business but would
Insist on generous cut Of the guar.
antees named. He is said to have
quoted F'irpo at $4,000 and Wills
at $175,000 when the frolic looked
like million dollar proposition.
Richard himself has said nothing
beyond the remark that Wills had
injured his drawing power in the
Madden affair. This would seem to
indicate that he planned to perform
q major operation on the colored
mans guarantee, If he can get away
with it. The writer sees no good
reason why he cannot. If Wills, for
instance, was cut to 100000 for the
occasion in question, 1t will be mors
money than he ever saw at one and
the same time and box fighters are
not exactly inimical to money.
Another point brought out In
favor of Richards probable pro-
motion Of the match is that IL
happens to be the only big
heavyweight affair In sight for
this season. Wills is tentatively
matched with Dempsey but can.
not qualify ON his performance
OF Monday. Firp0, in accepting
the Wills offer, declared against
meeting Dempsey until next year,
If at all.
Wills, of course, might be built up
by shooting him at Erminio Spalla
who stayed 10 rounds with Firpo.
But Erminio is matched wi r Z:
Tunney for the milk fund show some
two weeks hence and nt "a
to knock Tunney to be figured in the
same ring with Wills.
Consequently, in view of Mondays
proceedings, 1t would seem to bs
fair enough for Richard to insist on
cutting Wills guarantee against
Firpo. But cut Luis guarantee?
One might just as well try to cut
Gibraltar with a nail file.
