K. c. WANTS
STARFOR
BOUTS
BY George A. Simpson

"zube" Sullivan, athletic
director of the Knights of
Columbus, is endeavoring to
have the South Atlantic anna
teur athletic solons reinstate
Charles Marcellino as an anna
teur and thus make him ELI
!. gible to represent the local
Caseys in their amateur box
ing matches with the Balti-
more Y. NJ. C. A. glovemen
Friday night in the K. G. Hall,
918 Tenth st. N. W.
MarcAllino renowned his amateur
status when he appeared in bout
at the short lived Relee Club which
operated but few weeks az
Arlington, Va. Sullivan is anxious
TO have the Italian scrapper com-
pete as a interchangeable as he
lacks a capable fighter for this
division. Marcellino is known to
possess wicked right-hand punch
and sullivan believes chat with him
the Caseys would have the edge
over their Baltimore rivals.
Yet, MarceIlinO is not keen to
return to the amateur fold even
should the governing body
whitewash the black mark from
his record. Sullivan must first
point cut what advantages are
derived by an amateur.
Fridays show. limited only to
members of the knights Of Column
bus Athletic Association. will be
featured by eight bouts, the main
event to involve Mickey Harris, the
9O.pound ringster. Director SuiiI
van is willing to pit Harris against
any boy weighing less than l09
pounds and under Is years OF age,
He goes beyond that-issuing
challenge to any other lad to test
Harris punching powers.
Boxers who will appear for the
local Caseys are K. o. Roberts,
heavyweight; Charles Ryan, middle
weight; Leo Covaleskie, welter-
weight: Charles Beckett, lightweight:
FRANKIE Olenice, featherweight, and
Nevin Barker, bantamweight.
.sF
Sullivan made q wise move
when he procured the veteran
and crafty Andy Bowen as
coach for the Casey mittmen.
Bowen, who wore the padded
nlittens~fOr more than 10 years,
has gained ring knowledge that
will be useful to the Caseys.
Indeed, Sallivan's role. now with
the knights of Columbus is prin
cipally that OF general supervisor
as Orrel Mitchell, seasoned In va
rious athletics. is directing the bas
ketball activities. Since Sullivan
accepted the position as athletic
director of the knights, he has
instituted several sports heretofore
denied the members and formed an
athletic association that Is growing.
Another Of SulIiyan's successful
ventures is the Catholic Boys Club,
sponsored by the knights of Co
Iumbus. This Is an organization
steadily mounting In numbers and
its aims are many This club viii

from a knockout by stopping the

It is interesting to know that the

that betting odds were toll on jeff

of boxing knew from the start that
he was doomed.
And another interesting sidelight
on Rickard:
Before the fight some Of the
newspaper boys inspecting the
arena noticed back Of the ring
side seats certain little booths
erected to have complete view
Of the ring.
what are those for?' they asked
Richard.
Telephone booths" Richard re-
piled evasively. 'Fellers might want
to telephone from the ringside."
But the day of the fight the "teIe-
phone booths" served another pur
pose. Each one fitted with chair
and carefully curtained they offered
ringside retreats for Mrs. Richard
and the other women who wanted to
see he fight but hesitated to brave
the crudities and roughness of the
crowd.
Even SO early as 1910 Tex Rickard
had visions of prize.fight promotion
developed to the point where women
could attend the contests and enjov
first hand the excitement and the
drama which had previously been ilT
folded to them only through tbs col
umns of the newspapers.

WRIGHT PRAISES BUREAU
 POLICY

Regulations of the United States Bureau of Fisheries cOV- ering the waters and streams in the Yakutat district, have result ed in increased runs of salmon, declared J. Frank Wright, oper- otor of the floating cannery Retriever, who arrived here Sat- urday with the first of his 1929 pack. The run of both kings and reds are much heavier this year than last year and Mr. Wright attributes the improve ment to the policies of the Bu- reau.
 He shipped 1000 cases of sol- mon south on the Alameda. This is the first of the 1929 pack to leave this port and is believed to be the first shipped out of the Territory to the States.
 MT. Wright's king pack so far is so per cent heavier than to the same date last year and the reds were 50 per cent heavier. He predicted a big salmon year for the Yakutat district. Aftcr taking aboard 4,500 cases of cans and other supplies, he will leave tomorrow for Yakutat. Empire.
 (The silly part of MT. Wright's comment is this, the regulations for which MT. Wright is thankful were put in force in 1928 and could not possibly effect sal mon in 1929. We would say to MT. Wright, Come down to earth, and quit kissing MT. O'Malley's hind foot in the hope of getting favors,")
