CANOEING MAY REPLACE
ROWING IN HIGH SCHOOLS

Because rowing is too expensive, in
dications are that public high schools
here will abandon this sport and take
up canoeing.
The sch0lastics are said to exhibit
more interest in the padding game,
and more schools doubtless would Or
ganize canoe crews than have formed
rowing combinations.

Stribling- Sharkey fight at Miami Beach

this match In such shape that little
remains to be done.
Estimates as to the extent of the
promoters personal fortune varied from
81 100000 to $5,000,00O. Less than a

at around $2,500,000, nearly half of 1t in

JACKS COMEBACK
FINAL PLAN MADE
Promoter, in Rating 416
Boxers, Gave Recognition
to Labarba, PIadner.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, January 8-"Tex"
M Richards last contribution to
NJ boxing literature is his ranking
l. list for 1923, coupled with
what he planned to be
the definite announcement of Jack
Dempsey's comeback this year. 1t is
contained in copyrighted story written
by the promoter for the issue of The
Ring, monthly boxing publication, ap-
pearing this Friday.
Richards rankings are especially sig
nif1cant, as giving the promoters final
analysis of the game he developed so
extensively. Equally interesting is his
forecast of Dempsey's plans, even
though they now are in doubt as a re-
suit of the promoters death.
The promoter ranked the former
champion as the outstanding heavy
weight, now that Tunney had retired,
and declared that Dempsey would fight
once, either in August or September, as
f1nalist in the elimination tournament
that gets under way with battle be-
tween Jack Sharkey and Young Strib-
ling at Miami Beach, Fla, February 81.
Rated Dempsey Best.
Jack Dempsey will come back this
year." Tex wrote in signed article.
zone cannot think of Dempsey except
in terms of greatness and therefore, in
his case, inactivity last year must be
disregarded in the rating of the worlds
leading heavyweights, for he is greater
than any fighter now basking in the
limelight and striving for the title left
vacant by Gene Tunney.

the public to accept the appointment
of successor to Tunney as genuine
champion. The fellow who can whip
Dempsey will earn the recognition of
the public as champion. He will win
their confidence, and, after all, public
opinion is what will count most in de-
Gliding Tunney's successor. Although
Dempsey lost the verdict to Tunney at
Chicago, there are thousands of fight
fans throughout the world who feel that
he is the uncrowned worlds heavy
weight champion.
Dempsey will fight only once and
that one battle will be for me and it
will decide the holder of the crown.
He will be one of the two finalists, the
other to be selected from other con-
tenders. Dempsey is the former cham
pion and as such is entitled to more
consideration than Sharkey, Stribling,
Pauline, Heeney, Risko and the rest of
the field. The date of the title bout
will depend on how long Dempsey needs
to get in condition.
Public Wants Jack.
Dempsey is coming back to give the
heavyweight class the punch it now
lacks. to inject lot of the old inter-
est and Dempsey color into the stu
alton. The public wants Dempsey to
return and he will heed public clamor as
did Jim Jeffries.'
In rating 416 boxers from all parts
of the world in the various divisions on
the basis of the ring wars of 1928, Rick
ard placed Gene Tunney, although he Is
retired, at the head of the heavy
weights, named Fidel Labarba as the
outstanding bantamweight in division
that knows no generally recognized
ruler and gave the game recognition to

ACTION ON SCHOOL
UNT|D|NESS SCORED
Congress Heights Citizens
Ask Further Consideration
of Move.

Denouncing the proposal for the Board
of Education to withhold diplomas of
students adiudged untidy, though quail
flying in academic requirements, the
Congress Heights Citizens Association,
meeting in the Congress Heights Bap-
list Church, 1904 Brothers place south
east, last night voiced objection to the
boards contemplated move on the
ground that 1t was unfair" and an
injustice"
In passing the resolution. the associa-
ton contended that a student should be
corrected when first entering school and
not be allowed to continue his studies
and then have his diploma upheld be-
cause Of uncorrected faults. As result
of the resolution it was agreed that a
letter be sent the Board of Education
and the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tons asking that action be deferred I'M
til further consideration is given the
matter.
1t also was moved that teachers be
provided for the ChildrenS Receiving
Home. on Potomac avenue southeast on
the grounds that when delinquent chill
dren are confined to the home to await
action on their cases by the Juvenile
Court their education is neglected.
Request Foot Patrolmen.
Ccntending that the patrolling of the
section by the police In automobiles is
inadequate to cope with the many diff
flculties arising through the mischiev-
BUSINESS of youths, the association moved
that it be suggested to the proper au-
thorities that an officer on foot be as
signed to the section.
Following the regular business the
following chairmen of standing commit
tees were installed: Streets and side

 As he spoke he crossed over to the opposite side of the room os- tensibly in search of a cigarette, but before he was halfway across, he heard Lady Fielding, in her best imitation of a stage whisper, say to Henderson, who had that minute joined the group. lt;S. syi
 s"But thought you told me that the man was millionaire?pa M
 The money belongs to his wife. He didn't have penny before she married him" and it seemed to Rays sensitive mind that Tender : son had purposely raised his voice. $
 Lady Fielding said. "No-o,y. with her neighing intonation and then, She evidently keeps him on a short circuit.r Mu
 Ray was by that time out of ear- shot, but he had heard enough to put him into state of cold and helpless fury.
 It was fact however damnable, that he had been penniless at the time of their marriage that ever since Barbara had been paying the bills-even the tuxedo he was wearing had been bought with her money. M
 He took cigarette from silver box and stuck it unlighted between his lips. How he wished he was back playing in the orchestra on the good old Vendena!
 A strained silence had settled over the room and, aware that Ray had left the group with whom he was supposed to be playing bridge, Barbara crossed over to him quick ly.
 Whats all this, Ray? Why haven't you begun?" N
 T told them I couldn't afford the stake they suggested"
 Barbara bit her lip and slowly crimsoned with mortification. Ray, how could you? They will think us such cheapskates! Be- sides, it's absurd! We've plenty of money" af You have, you mean She said in exasperation: But l thought you agreed to borrow from me ;.
 "Yes. for essentials, but not to fritter away at bridge. Besides, I'm too much in your debt already. I'll never be able to pay back what I owe you" as
 You know that doesn't matter! You make me mad when you talk like that. Don't you realize you're making both of us look foolish? Be good sport and play, Ray. You make me ashamed of you" v He didn't answer for a minute. His teeth were shut very tight and she knew him to be struggling be- tween his innate obstinacy and his

 presently. If you feel that way about it. But if I lose, it's my own affair. At least I'm going to be responsible for my own gambling debts"
 T suppose his wife told him to go ahead" Lady Fielding whispered behind her fan to the major when presently the four of them were seated at the card table.
 HThink so? Ha, ha," commented the major, and he laughed so loud ly that Ray, although he could not hear what they said, sensed that they had been talking about him and in consequence, made a mis- deal r fti

 She flushed slightly. No woman likes to be called provincial" /, You know I'm awfully fond of you, Barbara he continued as she didn't speak; but don't misunder- stand me- he added, playing his cards carefully. T think that your husbands an awfully good chap. Admire him to no end
 Her heart warmed toward him.
 Thanks for that, Hendy."
 And somehow her hand was in his for he gave it quick, tight squeeze under the table.
 Coffee and liquors were served in the large, oblong drawing room, with a wooden beamed ceiling and an immense open fireplace that seemed to fill completely one end of the room. The heavy carved furniture, of massive oak, was Jacobean, while on the polished wooden floor, were tiger skins great snarling, yellow beasts. Shortly afterwards Henderson started arranging tables for bridge, but, preparatory to doing so, he said, in a low voice to Barbara:
 Don't play tonight, Barbara. I want to talk to you. There will be two tables without us. Your husband plays?"
 Barbara nodded
 He used to be quite fond of it." Henderson murmured something in reply and, few minutes later, he had placed Ray at a table with three veterans at the game, Lady Fielding, Major Perkins and Miss Maidstone, whose only claim to youth was strong right arm with which she slaughtered tennis balls.
 Standing waiting for the butler to place chairs at the table the major said, speaking on behalf of himself and the ladies:
 What stake would you suggest, Lowther? We usually play sixpence a point"
 Ray looked from one to the other of them.
 "Sixpence? That's a dime, isn't it? Then I'm afraid I'm not in your class. Twenty-Five cents a hundred is about my limit"
 Twenty cents?" querie Lady Fielding of the major.
 "A shilling" he translated, and added under his breath, Bah, mere child's playl"
 Ray overheard him and certain stubborn look settled over his jaw.

 The major was exerting himself to be entertaining. Henderson whispered into her other ear.
