CHURCH LEAGUE GAMES
Teams To Try To Get Ahead Of
Weather Tonight With Three
Games Scheduled To BE Played.

The Inter-Church league baseball
teams will joust with the weather
again this evening and, II success
full in that, with each other. Three
games are scheduled to be played at
Willow Brook park at GAS o'clock.
The KensingtOn Congregational
church outfit, which has not yet
played game, will meet the hard
hitting Stanley Memorial teap. The
Stanmors crushed the Bible class
last week, and kensington must put
up a fine exhibition Of baseball II
it hopes to stop the east end wreck
ing crew.
The Swedish Bethany and st.
Matthews German Lutheran church
teams will play each other in what
should be fine contest. The Beth
any array captured it's first game
two weeks ago and has strength in
general, while the st. Mats. SO far
held in check by the weather, will
take the field with almost the same
lineup as that which won the cham
pionship a year ago. The Every
mans Bible class will tackle the
Trinity Methodists in the third
game. The z. B. c. has not yet
been able to throw its full strength
into the field and will have good
team when it does; the Methodists,
as in 1926. have a fine defensive ag-
gregaton which can make the most
of a run or two.

Want TO Change
AMATEUR RULINGS

Philadelphia. May 27 Rl-Prompt-
cd by desire to safeguard the
status of amateur athletes and ore-
vent alleged surreptitious financial
dealings, the Intercollegiate 4. A. a.
A. today took the initiative in urging
more stringent rules by the Amateur
Athletic Union. the natal track and
field governing body.
To this end, Gustavus T. Kirby,
chairman Of the advisory committee
of the l. c. A. A. A. A., announced
the college organization has approx
ed a proposed amendment to the A.
A.
The constitution, which would
compel the. manager Of any sane
toned meet to file sworn state
ment Of expenses and disbursements
within 80 days after such meet. The
amendment will be brought before
the next annual convention OF the A.

The amendment would require the
statement of accounts to give lin
detail all receipts and disbursements
relative to such meet, all obligations
or arrangements with athletes or
anyone representing or claiming to
represent such athletes relating to
the entering, appearing or competing
of any athletes at such meet and any
obligations incurred therefor"
The A. A. u. under the proposed
amendment, also would be empower
ed to call on any registered athlete
to furnish within Is days after mott
fcation an itemized statement of ex-
penses and "all moneys or other
things of value received by him or
promised to him or passing to any
member of his family or anyone In
view of his competition"
While reports have been received
of laxity in expense allowances for
athletes and under cover" financial
arrangements, l. c. A. A. A. A. Of
ficials declared a general policy OF
stricter regulations. not any specific
instances OF amateur code violation,
prompted their action.
Penalty for violations under the
proposed amendment would involve
refusal Of further meeting sanctions.
in the case of the orga rlzation. or
disbarment from competition, in the
case of the individual.

Judging from the weather at the
present time, the long deferred fare
we'll appearance Of Bat Battalino'
national amateur featherweight
champion, as an amateur, will take
place at the velodrome in East Hart
ford tonight. The champion was to
have met Jimmy Walker, champion
of Pennsylvania, on Tuesday night
but rain caused postponement Of
the tournament from then until to-
night.
The Philadelphia team will ap-
pear tonight as scheduled and one
OF the largest crowds ever to view
an amateur tournament will be on
hand to watch the national cham
MON 20 through his PAGES for the
last time as a simon-pure boxer.
Battalino, next week, will turn IN
his amateur registration card ana
will on June at the same velo-
drome, enter on his career as pro-
fessional. This is probably the big
zest event locally in boxing circles
in some time.
Battalino has had such great sue
cess az an amateur that many are
speculating on whether he Will nave
the same success as a professional.
Rat must remember that the sled
ding in the older game is much
tougher and harder and he will have
to take things easy If he is to climb
TO the top in the division as he did
in the amateurs.
Those who have been closest TO
Battalino while he was an amateur
are certain that with the proper
handling. he will reach the goal OF
becoming featherweight champion
OF the world. This won't come right
away they say, but with proper con-
ditioning and matching. the Hart
ford lad shows great promise.
There are others who don't think
that Battalino has much science at
his command. Whether he has or
not doesn't make much difference
at the present time. He has the
heart in the first place, he knows
how to hit in the second place, he
Is young and has the stamina and
any man with these qualities will
acquire science with experience.
To us, there never was greater
champion than Battalino. Every
time that we saw him in action and
these times number into the hun
dreds, he gave us plenty Of thrills.
His long string Of knockouts made
him exceptional even in the anna
teur ranks and the ease with which
he piled through the list Of contend
ers at the national tournament in
Boston. made him a real national
champion.
The fans who followed the ANA
teur fights in this city during the
past season will watch his progress
in the paid ranks with interest. We
believe he will go far if greed does
MT grasp his handlers. He isn't the
kind of a boy to dissipate or throw
away the best thing he has. his
strength, and he will probably have
a great deal to say about his COM

Stand Etiquette
Draws Complaint

Lectures on grand stand ETH
quette" were a part OF the routine in
all schools Of tn brownsville dis
trict Monday, according to Thomas J.
zoe, superintendent. Behavior of
spectators at the last few football
games the Brownsville team has
played az home, was responsible for
the lecture. Mr.. zoe said.
The thing most complained about
on the the part Of the students. and
other spectators as well. is the habit
Of crowding the sidelines in front of
the grand stand. and rushing on the
field when a man is hurt. or any 9TH
err untoward incident takes place, it
was said.
The home football team, under the
rules. may be disqualified and the
game forfeited, because OF such ac-
ton on the part Of spectators. the
school head stated. All pupils Of the
schools in the district and other spec
tators as well are to be asked TO re-
main seated in the ~grandstand during
the progress Of future games, it was
said.
a request Is TO be made to the city
for the %stationing or two policemen
nc the stadium for future games TO
aid in handling the crowd. In the
event this does not prove successful,
ropes will be stretched around the
entire field, to keep back the crowd,
IL was said.
