Await Gong Which Starts
Welterweight Battle at

By DAVIS J. WALSH


International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.--Those
little bed time stories the mega
phone men are won't to tell you
about the greatness Of Mickey
Walker as fighter and a cham
pion may be interrupted at New

against Sailor Friedman, of Chi

and everything pointed to quite a
elem, as they say in the lumber
camps.
The sailor is rough. rude, ram
bunctious and several other things.
He is so tough, in fact, that he
brushes his teeth with a file
The young man wasn't such a
much as fighter until he became
involved in a shooting affray in
Chicago. and for some time was
a non-paying guest of the State OF
Illinois. When everything was
washed up again and the sailor was
a free man again, the iron was in
his soul. He fought with the des-
peration of one who knew that
life and limbs hardly were worth
while. after ALL 80.

There win be sno decision rendered
at the end Of twelve rounds, be-
cause the boys must pander 20
Jersey law. Friedman can win the
welterweight title only il he scores
a knockout or wins on foul.
Walker will be there to see that he
does neither.
But the popular fancy that Mickey
is one of the great champions of
all time can and might be exposed
for what it is worth, which is about
ten cents on the dollar. As a mat.
ter Of fact, he is champion today
only by force Of gratuitous circum-
stance-two judges and a referee
having seen Dave Shade as a loser
against Walker, when 80 per cent
Of the dear old populace saw David
as an easy winner.
Walker probably win get the I'M
official decision tonight, for he
loves to maui around with the
tough ones and Friedman has little
else. AT the same time, however,

RECREATION PIER
. asked BY CITIZENS
nge Conversion of Part Of
Old Aqueduct Bridge for
Georgetown Center.

Georgetown stands q good chance
to- get a municipal recreation pier,
whore tired mothers and children can
get cool breezes and fresh air. where
hand concerts can be held, and from
which boat races can be viewed The
scheme is to get some 800 or 800 feet Of
the%old AQueduct Bridge, which has
been replaced by the new Key Bridge,
retained when the rest of the old
bridge is demolished. this section to
be developed as a model, modern rec
reation center.
The Drid-City Citizens Association
and the Georgetown Citizens Asso-
ciation are fathering this project and
have received considerable encourage
ment from the District and Federal
officials. One of the most practical
arguments in support of this recrea-
ional development Is that it could be
put through for less than it would
cost to demolish the entire old Aque-
duct Bridge as 1t now stands.
Col. J. Franklin Bell, the District
Engineer Commissioner, said today
that he will at once seek confer
enoe with Maj. James A. OConnor,
United States engineers Office, who
had. charge of the erection of the new
Key Bridge, to determine which Off
cial has urisdiction over the old
bridge property. Maj. O'Connor's
office said today that the jurisdiction
and authority rests with the District
Commissioners, as the Key Bridge has
been turned over to them, and the
Aqueduct Bridge has never been out
or the Commissioners jurisdiction.
Would Retain Part.
T. A Oliver. president of the
Georgetown Citizens Association, Call
ed attention to the fact that there
has been no appropriation available
for demoIishing the old Aqueduct
Bridge, and that Congress was ask ed
for sufficient sum to tear down and
remove the old bridge except that
portion from NJ street as far as the
first pier resting on the river bank.
This would then be fitted up as a
recreation pier, the same as many
other large cities have, and found
decidedly popular and beneficial.
This would be a wonderful i'm
provement for that part of the city"
said Mr.. oliver today. The people
there have no park or other recrea-
tion place. With this opportunity
afforded to get pure and fresh air
above the river, with a full view
both up and down the river, with
band concerts, a chance to see boat
races, and especially as a pleasant
and restful place for mothers with
small children-it would be a serious
mistake for the National Capital to
fail to acquire this ideal facility.
The only fear has been that IT
might spoil the beauty of the new
bridge, or detract from it, by having
an unsightly near neighbor. We have
had number of photographs taken
from all angles which have shown
that preservation of the portion of
the bridge as we desire would in no
way disfigure the view of the new
bridge. Maj. Tyler has said that he
was perfectly willing to leave that
portion of the old Aqueduct Bridge
standing, and Commissioner Rudolph
also stated that if this 500 to $50

Mr.. Hicks was born at Westburg,

ancestry and is himself member
of the Society of Friends. He was
educated in the public schools and at
Swarthmore College and Harvard
University. On completion of his col

as clerk in leather company. A
few years later he became an official
in a banking concern, from which
he retired in 1911 when he entered
politics. Although he is not engaged
in active business, he is director

Which Cost WOn1an's Life
Called "Act of God'' by District Jury

A jury in Circuit Division 2, be-
fore Justice Stafford, today rem
dered a verdict holding the cloud
burst and torrential rain of April
23, 1893, when a bridge over the
Eastern Branch was swept away,
and one woman lost her life and
a. man sustained serious injury,
was an act of God, and the Dis
triot Of Columbia should not be
held liable in damages.
The verdict put an end to the
trial of two suits for $40, 600 dam
ages, each brought by James III.
Brawner, for his personal injuries,
and by William III. Carter, as ad-
ministrator OF his sister, Edna L.
Carter, who was killed. The wom-
ans body was found $50 feet down

bank of the stream, the evidence

foot pier could be added to the recre-
ational facilities he also would
heartily support the project"
Mr.. Oliver also explained that the
preservation of the pier would be a
big accommodation for reaching the
lighthouses just under the bridge and
to provide a crossing over the old
canal, thus saving many persons a
long walk which will be necessary If
the entire Aqueduct Bridge is de-
molished
A. J. Driscoll, president of the
Mid-City Citizens Association, de-
clared that he Is working In close
cooperation with those behind this
recreation pier project, and believes
it would be an important municipal
improvement. 1T will not cost much
to make this wonderful improve
ment," he said. "and We have notable
examples of how other cities have
gone to great expense to build similar

for a new trial. The District was
represented by Ringgold Hart, as
sistant corporation counsel.
Carter told the jury that he was
driving his machine, in which his
wife was a passenger, along Ken
ilworth avenue, when the storm
broke. AS they reached the cul-
vert over Piney Run the roadway
suddenly broke down, and he and
his automobile were precipitated
into the water. He managed to
escape, but his wife was washed
away and drowned. Brawner fol-
lowed along the road later and
was seriously injured.
The culvert, 1t was claimed, had
been built for 80 years and was
not large enough to shed all the
water drained into it by the run,
and had become clogged by logs,
stones and earth.
