TOM GIBBONS MAY MEET FRPO IN LONDON
Here and There
in Sport World
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22.-Thc
Los Angeles city council today is
to act upon an ordinance which
would make the conduct of boxing
bouts in this city conform to the
state law which logaliZcs 10 and
10 round fights.
The action follows discovery that
a city ordinance, which, according
to California law, would have tax
en- precedence over the state fight
measure, sanctioned only four round
amateur bouts. Representatives
of fight clubs here took the matter
to the city council, and yesterday
Il committee of the body rcconl-
mendcd that the city swing into
linr with the rest of the state.
The only connection which the
city will have with boxing, if the
recommended ordinancc goes
through today, will be that the po-
lice commission issues permits to
the clubs promoting matches with
i'll the city limits.

 After this information was re- ceived, the exact place where the murderer was had 10 he located and the man had to be identified. Ser geant O'Mara was acquainted per sonally with the murderer and he was sent to Canada in search of him after Stranos information was re ceived, The sergeant went to Ot- tawa. where he was joined by Film toff. The men proceeded 10 follow Strauo's directions until they came upon a large rooming house. Enter ing the house, a systematic search was started in all the rooms. which resulted in Sergeant O'Mara finding Vottari. The murderer was living under an assumed name and his ap- pearance had been altered consid- | erably so that his arrest at that time l could not have been effected ii OMara had not been present.

No hard coal Is coming into New Britain"
 This is a statement universally made by retail coal dealers.
 Although no actual serious short age exists In New Britain today. the situation may become more acute in the event of serious and prolong- cd cold weather.
 Some of the dealers are now cast ing around for substitutes for an thracite and 1t is probable that tardy buyers will be forced to accept 2 quantity because of the increasing shortage of hard coal. The Herald was informed that a cold snap would seriously deplete the supply Of anthracite stored here and would result in some dealers being cleaned out.
 A @at many residents have al ready Taid in their winter supply of Iuel or have at least bought some of that supply, Those who make 8 practice of buying from ton to ton, as their needs arise. may learn be- tore the winter is far advanced that they cannot obtain fuel unless they accept substitutes for anthracite.
 The strike of anthracite miners ill marking time with no indication that it will be settled. This will probably mean that no more hard coal will be received In this city this winter. It is said that quantities are being held out on side tracks bS speculators who hope to fatten theil pocketbooks but this amount Is re rorted to be negligible compared with the requirements of New Eng land.
 Although the broad statement wa made today by several dealers ina not a pound of coal is coming int the city" 8 car which was shippe' before the first of the month drib rles in occasionally. This is not sui fcient to meet demands.
