In acting on the claim for armory

As years of age at the time of his
enlistment, the controller general
has held that the enlistment in ques-
ton having been contrary to law,
no pay was earned and that his
estate is not entitled to be paid for
services under that enlistment" In
his decision the controller general
held as follows: "Section 81 pre-
scribes that the militia (all of the mi
litia) shall consist of able bodied
male citizens not more than As years
Of age. and section S.. that the Ma
tional Guard class. Is and 45 years.
The law is mandatory that en-
listed men of the National Guard
class Of the militia shall be not more
than 45 years of age and those statu
tory provisions cannot be waived
either on original enlistments or on
establishments. The enlistment of
on January 5, 1921. having
been contrary to law. he earned no
pay and his estate is not entitled to
be paid for services under that en-
listment"
In view of the fact that the Ma
tional Guard is one of the three COM
ponents of the Army of the United
States. 1T is insisted in certain quar-
tiers that the same ruling governing
enlistments in the Regular Army
should apply as we'll to the National
Guard. The Secretary of War will be
asked to propose An amendment to
the Natinal Defense Act which will

FIGHT BY RADIO
 BARRED BY TEX.
Rickard Says This Keeps Down
 Attendance

New York, Nov. 26-Eadio broad casting of boxing bouts is at an end, so far as Tex Rickard is concerned, it was learned at Madison Square Garden yesterday. The reason given by one close 10 the New York pro- meter is that use Of the radio keeps down attendance at bouts.
 For the past three years tit," box ing matches have been fought be- fore microphones, the thud Of gloves and the shouts of the fans being plainly distingushablc, according to listeners. Expert critics have been assigned the task of describing the contests and the Iaraway Spectator" has been given everything except the actual view Of the combatants.
 GarCken officials said that the ra dio listener has been satisfied with this blow by blow story as broadcast and therefore has not contributed his financial share to the support or tho sport.
 Baseball contests, especially the world series, and the leadiag foot ball games have been played "on the air" also.
 Whether tho attendance at the Wil,s-Firpo bout in Jersey City when culy 40,a0O of an anticipated 75.oo0 appeared had influenced the report cd decision, the informant would not say. Rickard is said 10 have lost $5o,o00 when the final hgurcs for the Boylc's Thirty Acres combat |ers reported. but at the time the lack of interest was laid to Firpo's legal diff ncujtlrs rather than the presence Of the raIio.
 rootbalI fans this fail have thronged American s'adiums l0 greater number than ever and at (very important contest the radio told its story.
