BOARD
Takes SLAP
At JUDGE
Kid Wagner Restored to
Lightweight Tourney After
Losing Bout
By DAVIS J. WALSH.

International News Service Sports Editor,
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-For the
first time since the Walker law,
making legal the manly art of as.
sault and battery became effective
in this State six years ago the New
York Athletic Commission has fail
red to stand behind its officials, and
reports today were to the effect
that a general housekeeping Is in
order.
A minute scrutiny Of the records
Of the men who make and unmake
champions with an airy gesture of
their little white slips will be the
first step taken, it is declared.
In brief. the show down has come.
On Monday night, a referee and
two judges collaborated in declar-
ing the Jimmy Goodrich-Kid Wag-
fner bout a draw at the end OF ten
rounds and ordered two extra Pc
RODS. Goodrich earned the yer-
dict at the final bell. Seemingly,
the officials were the only citizens
present who saw the business in
this light. Ninety-eight per cent
of the crowd declared Wagner an
easy winner at the end OF ten
rounds
One of the dissenters was the
strong, silent man, William Null
doom, and he thought so little OF
the verdict that, speaking for the
commission yesterday he announced
that Wagner would be returned to
good standing in the lightweight
elimination tourney, from which
the Goodrich verdict would have re-
moved him. This was nothing less
than an official slap at the judges.
Charles Wood and Harold Barnes.
and the chances are very good that
they will do no more officiating in
New York.
The referee, Jack O'Sullivan,
voted for Wagner.
IL the commission fine-combs the
qualifications % some of its officials
and eliminates those whose eye
sight is open to doubt. more OF the
champions will be inclined to ap-
pear in New York rings.

steadfastly declined to box here, al
though Dave Shades challenge has

MANY months, Walker stands sus-
pended in this State but is man.

impost. He may have missed sew

he still has his title.

PINCHES
May Prove This When He

Return Bout
By Tad.

NEW YORK, Feb. rs. This week
Jack Delaney, the Bridgeport buster,
will meet Tiger Flowers In a return
bout. You will recall that Mr..
Flowers kissed the canvas In the
second round when he met Delaney
some weeks ago at the Garden II
was distinct shock to followers OF
the game.
Delaney is great fighter only in
the pinches.
He reminds US Of certain ban

in the pinches.
Pit Delaney against SOME very

that Harris is positive his team
hasn't got ,swellheaded aTtf over
confident. He's managing 3 cham.
pionship team for the first time
and hasn't met all his players
after they won world pennant."
To this writer that last remark
from Ruth seems to carry con-
siderable weight. If the Griff-
men are about to lord it over all
creation this year, keeping ever
before their eyes that they are
world champions, they may be
given stiff jolt when they least
expect it.
The American League race of
1925 promises now to be a five
club affair and the Washington
club can repeat their pennant vic
tory only by attending to their
knitting each and every day. That
1924 triumph is now in the book.
1t can have no effect upon this
years race. It's a new deal all
around.

Unless some of the younger golf
ers change their minds there will
be only one homebred contestant
in the British open championship at
Frestwick the week Of June %.
That will be Walter Hagen. who
won this title last year. Gene
Sarazen has definitely announced
that he will not compete.
However. that does not neces-
sarily mean that there will be only

States at Prestwick, as 1t is under.
stood that Macdonald Smith, Jim
Barnes, Bobby Cruickshank and
Tommy Armour, all foreign-born
win be on hand.
|. Up to a few weeks ago Sarazen
had expected TO visit Great Britain
again this summer, but he is max
ing certain changes in his game
and does not feel that he is in con.
dition to make the trip. However,
should he do real well in the
American open at Worcester, 1t is
possible that he will change his
mind. ~

open-June 3 and twill give the
professionals enough leeway to gel

Big Mum Carries
Forward Passing
Onto Mat

The boxing fathers of the
State of New York dabbled q
bit in wrestling and passed a
rule making it a foul for one
grappler to toss another mat
artist out of the ring. This
playful little trick has become
very popular Of late, especially
with Wayne Mum, of Ne
braska, who copied the cham
pionship from Stranger Lewis
by heaving him overheard on
his ear. This new rule may
play havoc with Mr.. Mum, for
merly a University of Nebraska
football player, who has carried
the forward passing idea into
wrestling with such signal
success. -, s

we just sort OF lOaIeu ana
lazied aIong,I is Ruth's e2plana-
ton, when we should have been
doing our stuff. I'm sure we
were a better team than Wash
ington, but Harris Senator'S got
to playing together, and his pitch
ers could be counted on nearly
every time they went to the rub
Der, and so they beat us.
cts true that on the last West
ern trip in 1924 three wild pitches
and some terrible boobies by Joe
Dugan and Wally Pipp practically
ruined things for US, but we should
have been in a position where a
couple of losses wouldn't hurt SO
much.
Il know our catchers can't be
blamed for the injuries they had,
and Freddy Holman shouldn't be
censured to severely for pegging
some throws into the dirt around
second base, and Benny Bengough
can hardly be blamed for not be-
ing 400 socker.- But / will say
Benny poked out some nice blows
on the last trip West.
"Nor can Sam Jones be roasted
because he didn't win as many
games as we had counted on him
for. His arm just went lame, But
the most trouble with the Yanks
was that they logged it, and every
player will agree with me there.
"We've got five catchers now
Wally Schang, Steve O'Neill, Hof-
mann, Bengough, and that big kid
what's his name ?-yes, Autry.
Autry looks like he's got the stuff.
O'Neill ought to help us, too. /
hope Miller Higgins keeps enough
of them around so that accidents
won't hurt the catching depart
ment."

Strong for Joe Bush.

THEN the baseball writer asked
Ruth what he thought Of the
trade making Shocker a
Yankee and Joe Bush a member
of the st. Louis Browns. The
Bambino, strong for Joe Bush,
made no bones about expressing
his opinion.
"Well," said Ruth, 81 suppose
I'm talking out of turn when |
say it but I believe the Yankees
got gypped bit. like Shocker
personally and he's got a few
years on Bush but you must re-
member that Joe's just as likely
to bust up a game he's pitching
in with a long triple or poke out
a blow when he goes in as a pinch
hitter. He's surely got the ledge
on Shocker there. And this kid
CASTOR has plenty of courage and
is a guy who will learn to pitch
quick! It'll be interesting to keep
track of the number of times
Bush and CASTOR play us dirt this
season."

NOW proved FALSE
50 Declare Psychologists al
Annual Convention

Cleveland, Dec. 80 R,--Theories
upon which the Regeneration oper-
alton is based have been proven
false In the opinion OF psychologists
attending tho annual convention of
the Federation Of American So
.cieties for Experimental Biology.
Persons who have undergone such
operations, II subjected to cross
examination, likely would admit
that they feel no younger today, and
ont tho whole may be worse off
than before, II was claimed.
These conclusions were drawn
from researches OF DR.. X. N. OsIund
of the University Of Illinois. made
public today. DR.. Oslund did not,
however, mention Dr. Stomach. the
Austrian surgeon nor his operation.
Two types OF cells. germ and in
tertitial, are produced by the repro
ductive glands, 1t was explained.
The germ cells generate life. and
previously it was believed that the
interstitia cells generated tho
"hormones" that produce the secon-
dairy sexual characteristics the

vigor Of youth,
Stomach acted upon the theory
that by tying off the duct producing
the germ cells, the interstitial cells
would multiply and so produce more
OF the youth-glving hormones, while
the germ cells would die.
DR.. Oslund pointed out that under
the physical conditions OF the oper-
alton, it would be impossible to
