KANE PROMISES
NEW STAR

Eddie Kane, for a long time
prominently identified with the
management of Mike and Tom Glib
bons, who has been steering Sammy
.Mandell toward the shoes vacated
by Benny Leonard, seems to nave
dug up q real Ive-wire welteIweight
performer in the person Of Shut
fe" Callahan of Chicago. Callahan
followed up a knockout scored over
Morrie Schlaifer by stopping Bobby
Barrett, sorrel-topped welterweight
from Philadelphia. in the first
round OF a bout in Chicago las.
week.
The latest sensation to loom or
the pugiIistic horizon halls from
Elizabeth. Nj. ana was chriStened
Eugene. He picked up the rudi-
mente of the leather pushing in
dustry in Chicago. where he has
been following the serious pursuit
of furniture truck chauffeur as a
means OF earning q livelihood. For
his fight with Barrett Shuttle
tipped the Fairbanks around the
150-pound mark, but Manager Kane
says the welterwefght limit or l47
pounds ringside is eaten weight Tor
his fighter.
BY q strange coincidence tne over
night arrival OF Callahan as a con-
tender for Mickey Walkers crown
comes with the sudden exit from
the list Of Mickey's contenders OF
George Ward, another fighting son
of Elizabeth. Ward has been on
the trail of a match with the
stormy petrol of the 147.pounders
for a long time, and just when it
appeared he was on the. high road
to attain his ambition the surpris
ing news was heralded that he was
knocked out by Harry Martone In
a New Jersey ring last Monday.

TODAY'S
SPOR TORIAL
b Kirk Miller

Tomorrow in Cleveland the
first basketball world series Of
all time viii commence when
the Brooklyn team, winners Of
the first half of the split sched-
ule, will meet the Forest City
team, victors in the last half
Of the divided season.
While Washington will just
have to be sort of a listener
in on this series for the basket
ball supremacy Of the land, its
interest is probably greater
than that of any of the other
seven cities Of the league, out
side of those which have COM
peting teams in the big finale.
George p. Marshall's team
was runner-up in both halves
Of the schedule. In so finish
ing, it at least played consistent
basketball.
The winner in the opening
half. Brooklyn, finished two
places below Washington in the
last half, and the top team in
the latter section, Cleveland,
finished one notch below Wash
ington in the opening half.
In other words, the contend
ing teams in the series, strad-
died Washington all the way
through the season.
You may not hear much of
hullaballoo about this spring
world series, and then again
you may. However, this is the
leagues first year out, and as
an experiment it has been more
than a success. In Cleveland
last month, 10000 souls turned
out to see Washington make a
fruitless attempt to crash into
the spring classic. An additional
1000 seats have been placed in
the same arena for the string
which opens tomorrow and con-
tlnues one more day In CleVe-
land before the series is taken
to New York.
The spring basketball cham
pionship is copied somewhat
after the baseball series of
autumn. 1t is designed as a
sort of benefit for the play
ers. The athletes get 60 per
cent of the receipts of the first
three games and the gate from
the fourth or further games
goes to the league. Thus there
is no incentive for clowning
about to drag the series out to
the full five games-three VIC
tories being enough to decide
the series.

Peggy stood looking at her
shadowy reflection in the dim old
mirror above the parlor mantel-
piece and thanked fortune that
she was pretty especially pretty
tonight, for Ranny's eyes. She
had put on a dress that he had

after Aunt Agony had begun to
snore gently in the room across
the hall, and she thought about
Ranny Philips ana what Fay had
said about him that afternoon.
AS she lay there an automobile
came quietly up the street and
stopped opposite at the big
house.
Fay Arrives i'm Style.
Then Peggy did horrid thing.
She spied upon Fay.
Getting swiftly out Of bed she
ran to the front windows and
peeped. In the moonlight a big
gray and red roadster cleaned
in front of Shirley's.
A man in light, felt, hat, with
a carnation in his buttonhole,
helped Fay out of that car. To-
gether they walked slowly up to
the porch and disappeared into

heard the red and gray roadster

And that's the kind OF a girl
she is, all right said Peggy to
herself-'that's Fay, and no mis-

that suits Ranny right down to

the morning, Fay called up. Aunt
Agony answered the telephone.
