ONLY BEST
BOXERS

When the new National Capital

ing Tuesday, February 3, In the
Washington Auditorium, Washing
ton ring worms are assured OF see
ing the best ring talent in this coun-
try perform here.
Frank Dane. matchmaker and
president of the new club, an
nounced today that he would go to
New York the latter part Of the
week to get in touch with managers
of the topnotcher performers.
Dane aims to open his club with
a heavyweight mill. He is anxious
to introduce Charley Weinert, New.
ark heavyweight. to District ring
fans. Weinert is now the sensa-
ton of the heavyweight class. He
re-established himself as one OF the
most dangerous men Of his class by
his decisive victory over Luis Firpo.
Picked as a "push-over," WeinerG
surprised the pugilistic set by out
chasing the numbering Luis from
South America.
Definite announcement as to the
makeup Of the program will be
made within a few days.

ity of a world series cut. Som
ball players are puzzles.
Some
Beginning at Hand.

TIME beginning of new day
among the lightweight boxers
is at hand. It won't be long
before the present holder of the
title will have to leave the foot
lights and go to work at his cho-
sen profession, the profession
which has made his wealthy.
Benny Leonard today claims the
lightweight championship, and not
one ring fan in hundred believes
Leonard is able to make the
weight limit of his, class.
The New York State boxing
commission, strange as it acts
generally, is showing some signs
of interest among the lightweights.
IL it can but maintain this inter-
est, it will be but a short time be-
fore demand will be made for
Benny Leonard to defend his title,
and at weight.
From some angles the overlords
of boxing in New York are posi-
lively funny-not quite as funny
as the Maryland State commits
sioners, but funny, nevertheless.
The New Workers order this cham
pion and that into the ring, but
they never go through with the
heavyweight or the lightweight
classes.
Once Jack Dempsey was ordered
to defend his title against Harry
Wills and, inside of a few weeks,
permission for such bout was
refused. Laugh that off, if you
can.
However, the lightweight boxers
are gradually sitting down to
where some one of them will chal-
lenge Leonard. It will then be
up to the commission to find out
whether Benny Leonard is light
weight or a welter or an actor.
It's certain right now that he
can't be all of them combined.

The lengthy one was Slim Croson
and the other court artist was
Harry Councillor. They were sup
posed to be on a team that was to
have submitted to a beating at the
hands of Business.
= No so. like and Mike took things
into their own hands and Business
got licking. Croson played center.
He was yards taller than Brist, his
Business opponent, and Councillor
was holding Down q forward berth.
Slim tapped the ball TO Harry, and
Harry drfbbled down the floor for
goal. He did that little thing
five times and then chucked in q
quartet OF fouls for good measure.
Between the two, Business with .
supposedly stronger team, put in
very unpleasant afternoon.
Last year Councillor was con.
sidered too, small TO make the
Tech team, and he was kicked off
the squad.
This year Coach Sanborn, in a
dilemma for material, pulled the
chappie out Of the old scrap bag
and stuck him at right forward.
From that time on he was q set
fixture, even though. on the eve
Of the first game. he flunked and
had to be pulled through with an
extra examination.
Slim Croson had never seen q
basketball until this season. Coach
Sanborn took a quick peek at him
one day In the halls of the schools,
and then roped him and placed a
basketball suit on his skinny frame.
Croson Is so tall he can outreach
any high school center, and he Al.
ways taps the ba1t to Councillor.
The latter is very fast and an ex.
ceptionaI shot. The two work
very nicely, thank you. And may.
be Tech doesn't thank you.
Before the season started SAN
born had less hopes than D con-
demned man. He said he had
nothing. But Sandy was kidding
the guIlible public. He's Gil
DObie IL there ever was one.
Which calls to mind the fact tina.
Mccormick, guard, and Werber,
forward, are also small fellows.
Mccormick, Notwithstanding hi
stature, is one OF the most effective
guards in the ranks. He Is one
of those burrs which stick like
everlasting cement and still Sanborr
scowls fiercely
Tech was good guess for Gel.
lar champion before the season
started. Now the tables have bee.
somewhat reversed and the Man
ual Trainers are almost favorites
to take the title away from the
scrappy Eastern team. That Is a
mans size job, but with Slim and
Shorty working in a manner mos:
efficacious, the thing can be done.
More power to the little guy.

Sands was undoubtedly nones
in charging O'Connell with offer
ing him a bride of $500. O'Con-
nell's testimony sounds honest. He
admits he did so ION the spur OF
the moment"
The denials of Frisch, the Giants
captain; Ross Young and Long
George" Kelly have the, right ring.
ONLY DOLAN'S TESTIMONY
SOUNDS BAD.
Therefore, Judge Lands was
apparently well within his rights
in banning Dolan and O'Connell
and permitting Frisch, Young and
Kelly to remain in organized base
ball.
On the other hand, those who
know DoIan best will never believe
that he would part with $500 or
So or so cents to see the dawn OF
a new world. Therefore, they will
always believe that Dolan was but
the mouthpiece of somebody else"
The best cross-examination Judge
Lands could call upon failed to
bring from Dolan any such admls-
sion. It was merely II don't re-
member"
It will be interesting to see what
Dolan does in the future. He has
saved little money. He knows no
other business but baseball. 1t
may so happen that, with his
money vanished, he may be willing
to talk, provided he has covered up
somebody else"

night before the 1924 world series
opened.

to wait while for any more an
formation. =,
Meanwhile, let the good old
game go on. 1t has been shown
that Judge Lands was shielding
nobody, that he found nc clues and
that he was merely an actor IN
holding back the testimony until
January when he might easily have
given it out in October.
Baseball is still the national
pastime. Most of those in it are

A QUICKER, BETTER
REMEDY FOR PAINS

It is certain the liniment
used by big league baseball
stars must be the best money
can buy or they wouldn't use
it, because men like Ty Cobb,
Walter Johnson, Bucky Har-
ris, George Sisler and others
can't afford to be laid up
with rheumatism, lame back,
stiff, sore muscles or pains
for a single day.
The liniment they use out at
the ball park works like lightning
and in a few hours relieves aches
and pains due to any cause as
proven a thousand times each
season, and yet this liniment they
use is so mild it wouldn't harm a
baby's skin and never blisters no
matter how much you rub and
bandage it.

ordinances passed, so as to cover the situation.
 Tt would be very difficult to draw a legal ordinance, however, that re- stricts the use to which person might put his property. Any at- tempt in this line would probably result in an unconstitutional ordi- nance. Under the police powers the city can pass ordinances to regulate the use of buildings so as to prevent dangers to the public health and safety. In fact, there are probably ordinances now which would cover most cases under the head of 'nuisances,' but to go fur ther and attempt to prevent by ordi- nance the use which a man may make of his own property. that does not constitute a nuisance, would be a very questionable pro- cedure and probably unconstitu- tional even under authority of an appropriate enabling act of the : legislature, which is at present non- existent. To hold that person could not sleep and eat in his garage, unless such course endan- gers the public health and safety, would seriously jar the constitu- tions of the United States and Con- necticut."

MERCHANTS VIEWS
 ON GARAGE-HOME
Corporation Counsel Discusses
 Limits on Building Permits

The uses to which a building Is put do not determine the nature of the building, but the type of con- struction is to be looked 10 in cases where there is a question as to whether terms of a building permit are being violated, Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham has ad- yised the building commission.
 The corporation counsels opinion was sought when Amherst street res idents complained that James l. Car lin had taken a permit for a two car garage and was building a dwelling house. Judge Kirkham's statement follows:
 If you find as a fact that MT Carlin is violating the terms of his . permit, which was a permit to erect a two-car garage on Amherst street then you should revoke the permit giving him first a hearing and ten ding back the fee which he paid. IT a case where a building is begur without a permit, the offender il | liable to a fine in the police court. 1T a case where it seems to be doubt ful matter whether Carlin has a per init for the construction of th' building which he is constructing, O not, the city would be optimistic n ] expecting the police court 10 fin' him guilty. Where a person is m willingly violating the building code the better procedure is to order h
