MCCARTHY 10 MEET
 PERSSON IN RING
HeaVyWeights to Inau6urate h.
 door Season in Hartford

Hartford, Oct. 26-A heavyweight bout of real caliber will inaugurate the indoor boxing season in Hart ford when Pat Mccarthy of Boston and Harry Person. the Swedish heavyweight, come together at the state armory Monday evening, No vember 8.
 The Mccarthy match was clinched yesterday by Matchmaker George Mulligan, who has been negotiating for two weeks with Jim Mcdonald, McCarthys manager, and Jimmy DeForest, who formerly handled Luis Firpo, and is now do- ing business for Person.
 The semi-f1nal will find Jack Gag non pitted against Harry Lamson, the Indian heavy who has been ac- tive on heavyweight cards in Boston of late.
 Gagnon scored a quick knockout on the McCarthy-R -Risko card here and the fans who had no chance then to see him really put to the test, are eager to watcN him in ac- ton against a real opponent.
 Joe Smith, local amateur, plans to make his professional debut on this card and Mulligan is seeking a boy to pit against the rugged simon pure, who has fought many anna teur battles.
 Another bout on the card will send Little Boy Blue, colored heavy, into action against Battling Thomas.
 This show will be the first of several at the armory, Mulligan planning a busy indoor season.
 Mccarthy made many friends here by his showing against Johnny Risko, the Cleveland rubber ball' and a return engagement hits a popular chord here.
 Person has won every bout since | landing on these shores and is tout cd as leading contender for the heavyweight title.
 He is slated for a bout with Jack Dempsey, according to Fair Play, the bout being planned as one of tune-up bouts before he makes an essay to regain the crown from Gene Tunney.

eral intersections which. in view Of
the volume Of traffic passing through
at all hours of the day and evening,
should be in the first category.
Take, for example, the intersection
Of East Executive avenue and Penn
sylvania avenue at the extreme east
ern front of the White House. There
are few points where a steady flow Of
traffic is more consistently maintained
throughout the day, and none where
traffic jams are less to be desired. Yet
at this point. with the exception of
the rush hours, no e,acer is stationed.
and as a result .raftc weaves AID
crawls and pushes through on a pure
ly individualistic basis.
This condition. seen here in perhaps
its most exaggerated form, and at
other unpoliced points in the city in
a lesser but still unfortunately marked
degree, should be promptly remedied.
With the National Capital beginning
to take a justified pride in it's traffic
control, surely the small number of
officers essential to insure smooth
movement at the few still neglected
points will be forthcoming

Another Tennis Amateur Yields.

Hope OF rich rewards In cash has
tempted another amateur tennis eX-
pert to Join the ranks Of the profes.
sionals. The promoter of this enter
prise has lured Vincent Richards. one
of Americas leaders at the net game,
upon whom the hopes Of this country
have been pinned to win back the
world championship recently taken by
French players, by the prospect of
an American woman leader on the
later appear with Mile. Lenglen, the
French champion; Miss Mary Browne,
an American woman leader on the
courts, and others who have been
seduced from their amateur standing.
The whole thing Is a gamble. 1t is
a question whether the professional
tennis game will draw large crowds
in this country or elsewhere. Aces
sion Of Richards to the group OF ex-
hibition players undoubtedly strength
ems the combination and gives better
promise Of worthwhile tennis, but it
does not assure a public response suf-
flcient to Justify the expenditure and
to assure the players a remuneration
to compensate them for their sacri-
fee of amateur standing.
1t may be that this promoter has
made a shrewd measurement of the
American interest in tennis as game
of high skill TIE game itself is not
universally popular as is base ball
and foot ball. It appeals to a COM
paratively small public. But the
reputation Of Mile. Lenglen has un-
doubtedly whetted curiosity, and there
may be big gate" on the tour that
is projected with her as the headliner.
If sufficient opposition is provided by
Miss Browne to put the French
champion through her best PAGES, and
II a worthy opponent can be developed
for Richards, contests justifying
public patronage may be staged.
But, after all. it is pity that this
game should be professionalism. 1t
has been until lately one of the few
remaining sports Of a strictly amateur
character, and its present invasion by
the professional spirit causes regrets
that are intensified by the surrender
of one Of America $ most skilled and
promising amateur players to the call
Of the almighty dollar.

All-Day Control.

With traffic conditions in Washing
ton markedly improved in the past
year under able and progressive di-
rection there still remains at least one
step to be taken before full credit may
De accorded the officials concerned.
And so simple is that step that it is
difficult to understand why it should
have been neglected TO date.
The busiest intersections Of trafflc
in the city are at present theoretically
controlled throughout the day and
evening by either automatic lights or
traffic officers. Others of less impor-
tance are controlled by officers only
at the traffic peaks in the morning
and afternoon.
Among the latter are classified sew,

Drunken Drivers.

Recommendation is made by the
traffic director in his annual report
that the law be changed to permit the
immediate cancellation or withdrawal
of driving permits from motorists who
are caught driving while under the
influence Of liquor. without the right
of a delay of ten days pending an ap-
peal to the Commissioners. Under
the present practice person In this
category. though guilty Of the dan
gerous practice, can continue to drive
for ten days. and in that period may re-
peat the offense and may cause death.
1t may be assumed confidently that
few, If any. errors in judgment on
this score are made by the traffic
force. The evidences of intoXication
are too plain to be mistaken. The
chances are overwhelmingly in favor
Of accuracy of accusation. In prac-
tice there have been so few reversals
that it is virtually assured that no
Injustice will be done to innocent
drivers by the immediate cancellation
of permits.
The whole purpose Of traffic regula-
tions is to prevent accidents. not
merely to punish those who violate
them. Permits are issued to those
who are supposedly competent to
drive and who are aware Of the rules.
One of the most important provisions
is that no person should ever handle
a car who is under the influence of
and is therefore not com
petent to see clearly, to measure dis
tances accurately, or to exercise
