BOSTON PEOPLE SLOSH
 THROUGH WET HIGHWAYS
Rainfall of Nearly Two Inches Makes Going Very Disagree
 able In Hub City

Boston, Dee. 2o R-Pedestrians in greater Boston today sloshed through slush more than ankle deep in places as a result of yesterday rainfall of 1.7O inches. The rain was the heaviest the city has had since July 80. and coming closely after an eight-inch snowfall, food ed streets and sidewalks.
 An army of workmen employed by the city were busy today clear ing catch basins which had been clogged with slush, resulting in wa ter overuowing into basements Of homes and business establishments. During the height of the storm last night street crossings in the Back Bay were kneedeep with slush and enterprising taXicab drivers did a rushing business in ferrying strand ed pedestrians across at 50 cents a trip.
 Conditions in the suburbs were even worse. water reaching the hub caps of automobiles in many locali- ties and causing much traffic con- gcstion.
 In northern New England the storm left between seven and eight inches of snow on an average. Glencliffe, N. H., reported 10 inches, the New Hampshire lake region six inches, and Northern New Hamp- shire and Central Vermont eight inches. Train service in that terri tory was delayed from 45 minutes 10 more than an hour, although most trains were hauled by two To- comotiYes.

INTENTIONAL PASS
Appeal is Made to Commissioner Landis for Right of Player to Re- fuse Free Ticket.

New York, Dec. 29.-tP)-- Agita- tion to curb the intentional pass in baseball has been revived with an appeal to baseball Commissioner Landis for a rule giving the batsman the right to refuse free tickets" and remain at the plate until he either is retired or connects for a safe hit.
 The Prudential Insurance Athletic association of Newark, N. J.. an or ganization which claims 5000 mem- bers, has made this recommendation to the commissioner. In reply. the baseball chieftain has promised to present the proposed amendment to the playing rules committee at it's meeting next month.
 Contending that the intentional pass to heavy hitters has cost the game many a thrill" the association recommends amending rule 5S. sec ton 2, to read that the batsman may waive his rights to his base after four balls and notify the umpire that he elects, with the strikes charged against him to count, to hit fair ball or be retired. Should the pitcher continue to pitch balls and fail to put out or strike out the batter, and should three additional balls have been called, the batter takes third base, those on base, if any, scoring runs.'
 The major leagues a few years ago attempted to stop intentional pass ing by forbidding the catcher to step outside the catching lines to receive the ball but it failed to accomplish its purpose.

ABOUT 29 PER GENT OF
 CHAMPS RETAIN TITLES
Statistics for Year Show That 176 Championships Changed Hands
 In 1926.

New York, Dec. 29.-tPl-Only about 29 per cent of the sports champions, teams or individuals, that ruleds the roost at the start of 1926 still wave their scepters aloft as the year draws to close.
 This is revealed by examination of a list of PAT championships in 30 branches of athletic activity here and abroad.
 It shows that II titles were suc- cessfully defended while 176 were lost with the previous holders over whelmed by stronger talent or vic tims of the 'upset jinx" that beset champions on all sides.
 Of the major sports. only rowing and swimming showed a majority of champions successfully defending their titles, five out of eight rowing titles and fifteen out of 2S swim ming crowns were retained.
 Tennis, with Big Bill" Tilden chief among those toppled, wit nesses the biggest championship carnage, sixteen out of nineteen title holders being bowled over. National track and field sports for men and women showed 29 out of 43 titles changing hands. Football witnessed the shifting of nine out of 5 cham pions while professional boxing, ,,t transferred and a sixth orphaned by Kid Kaplan's retirement.
 The overthrow of champions was complete In major league baseball, professional billiards, bowling, horse racing. ice hockey and auto racing.
