In an effort to get the Cony
Hockey rink for their home games
this winter the city hockey team is
going to make a very fair offer to
the athletic authorities. The men,
bers of the club are anxious to put
the amateur game in the city to stay
and are willing to give the entire
gate receipts to the school after the
expense of the visiting team has
been paid. The team will be COM
posed of men who are well versed
in the game and who are capable of
travelling in the fastest company in
the State. Hockey is the king of
the winter outdoor sports and should
take well in Augusta with the best
teams in the State near enough to
furn:eh opposition without prohibit
tive cost.
An organized effort to stop per-
sonal contact and get organized Of
ficialing for basketball played by
girls is now under way. A group
composed of representatives from
different schools met recently and
decided that if it were possible they
were going to eliminate all personal
contact is looked upon as unavoid-
able the attempt to get uniform Of
ficialing is highly commendable. A
move to get officials who can draw
the line on intentional roughness
without the excessive technicality
that is only too characteristic of
many referees will be supported to
the last ditch.
Basketball is rapidly changing and
everyone hopes that it is for the bet
ter. Not so many years ago the most
approved style of playing the hoop
game was to sprinkle it with personal
contact to say the least. The double
dribble, which allowed a man to
dribble up to an opponent, dodge,
then dribble merrily on his way in
different direction, was looked upon
with favor. Teams composed of
men who could play the game fast
when the occasion demanded or
dough when the opportunity offered
itself journeyed up and down
through the State especially through
the eastern sections, playing one
night against team composed of
the towns best talent, which might
be anything from college stars to
prize fighters, and on the next night
stacked up against a high school
team which wanted and strictly de-
manded the players to desist from
- ~sonal contact stuff. Here a

However, officials who keep the
game slowed down all the time with
the whistle, sometimes walking away
from a player who is coming into
the game with the hope that the
player in the thodghtlessness of min
ute will forget to report and there
by apparently giving the referee a
chance to foul him, aren't the Of
ficials that will bring the game up
to the standard that it has attained
and deserves in other sections of the
country, nor will they keep the
amateurs from drifting to the easier
semi pro ranks. Hiring of officials
who can see the obvious difference
between an attempt to injure a
player by personal contact and the
player who is guilty of contact when
it is absolutely unavoidable in a fast
game will put the game where 1t
rightfully belongs and several
coaches of high schools in this State
have announced their intentions of
hiring such officials without regard
as to whether they belong to any rec
ognized board or not. The result
of this will be watched with interest.

New York, July 1 P'-Mickcy Walker tomorrow night will make his second attempt 10 enter the small circle of great boxers who have ruled two divisions.
 Against Mike McTigue, former light heavyweight king, in Il fight at Newark, N. J., Walker, the wcl- Iterwcight champion, failed in His initial effort last winter because the New Jersey boxing law torbids de- cisions. He was given a unanimous newspaper verdict, but { knockout was required to add the second title ito his list.
 In his second attempt Walker will aim at the mddleWeight title of Harry Grcb tomorrow night at the Polo Grounds in one of two 15- round bouts featuring the card of the Italian hospital fund. This time there will he judges for a decision and the title can pass on points.

Joe Wolcott, a weltorWeight. boWled over many heavyWcights and John my Buff for q brief spell occupied the fyweight and bantam thrones.
 On the other hand, many famous champions have failed against the fists of heavier divisions. Stanley Ketchel, middleWcight, was knocked out by Jack Johnson, heavyweight; Johnny Kilbane, champion feather weight, lasted less than three rounds against Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, while Leonard in turn failed to lift the WcltcrWeight title from the veteran head of Jack Brit ton.
