WALKER SIGNS
FOR LATZO

Arguments as to who will get the
next chance at Mickey Walkers
welterweight crown are settled. The
champion will stake his diadem
against Pete Latzo, Hazleton, at
Scranton, on May II.
1t Is understood that Scranton
promoters already have deposited
$1,000 on the $4,000 purse that
will go to Walker. Latzo has
signed the contract to meet the
champion. Kearners wired his in
dorsement of the fight from Los
Angeles.
This will be the second time
Latzo and Walker have met. Latzo
fought Mickey to a twelve-round no.
decision bout at Newark. The
Newark bout was a fast and flu
rious one, and 1t was said that
Latzo's showing was most impress
sive against his more experienced
foe.
The Walker-Latzo tiff will be The
third title affair in PENNSYLVANIA
since the State athletic commission
was organized. Walker is the cham
pion who has been the defending
ace in each combat.

Waite High School, Toledo. Ohio,
was given the game by the experts
before it started. Eastern, how
ever, was peeved because Charlie
Guyon had not been consulted
about the matter and Capt. JuIiue
Radice. Angus Heeke, Boots
Scruggs. Hogarth and Elliott went
in there to change things about.
They won by theN simple score Of
AZ to 81.
In the first half Eastern simply
ran the Orleans ragged. The fast
passing game that Guyon has
taught was working in apple pie
order, and the shooting Of Heeke
and Radice was never better How
ever, Radice and Elliott went out
on personals and that brought in
McAllister and Capelli. After

From his work in the two games
thus far, Radice Is being touted as
the best individual player seen in

It looked to Cook like the thing
Washington needed to clear up a

Finally, sandlot baseball became

CITIZENS TO HOLD
HEARINGS ON BILLS
Federation Authorizes Public
Discussions to Develop Stand
on D. c. Measures.

Holding Of joint public hearings on
the policewoman's bill and the Juve-
nile Court bill for the District by its
legislation and charities committees.
to develop a definite stand on each
one of these important measures, was
authorized by members of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations at their
regular meeting last night in the
boardroom of the District building.
The action was taken under sus-
pension of the rules, which was voted
after President James G. Yaden. pre-
siding at the first gathering Of the
body since his election. had enunciated
a new policy for the federation re-
garding District legislation. Presi-
dent Yaden sought the reaction of the
delegates to his views and they con-
Cured. evidencing that from now on
the federation will play a more prom
inent part in so far as pending Dis
trict legislation is concerned.
Cites Pending Bills.
Il am tired" said President Yaden.
"of letting the Citizens Advisory
Council hog the limelight in making
recommendations concerning District
legislation. In the past 1 have been
disappointed that the federation has
not acted on measures affecting
Washington that are before Congress.
There are now two bills pendin\
on the hill. before which. due to the
f1erceness Of their opponents and pro-
ponents. the World Court and League
of Nations paled into insignif1cance at
the last session Of Congress. AS re-
suit no action was taken on them.
They are the policewomen's and Juve-
nile Court bills. and l present as a
suggestion that our committees on
law and legislation and charities and
corrections hold joint public hearings
for the purpose of enabling us to take
a definite stand on each measure.
President Yaden explained that
under the federat1on's constitution no
matter could be initiated by the body
itself save through suspension of the
rules by a nanimous consent or
three-fourths vote. A few of the dele
gates ventured the opinion that the
Initiation of new business by the fed
Grafton was "a dangerous STEP but

nous consent 1t was carried.
