ENGLISH CRICKETERS
AGAIN BEAT AUSSlES

BY the Associated Press.
MELBOURNE, Australia, January 5.
"A boundary hit" good for 4 runs,
today won the decisive test cricket
match for England, giving the mother
country team custody Of the mythical
ashes" and leaving the "sackcloth'' for
Australia. England won by wickets.
The climax came when the visitors
needed only IA for a win. The tail end
of their batting order slumped and 4
wickets fell for only 10 runs. This
brought George Geary, the great Eng
lish bowler, to the wicket in partnership
with G. Duckworth, wicket keeper of
the visitors. A base ball parallel of the
situation would have been a weak-hit-
ting pitcher at bat in the last of the
ninth with two down and no privilege
of substituting pinch hitter.
The crowd of $4,000 was yelling in
unison when j. S. Ryder a star Aus
traiian bowler. sent down the first ball.
1t was a tricky offering, but Geary hit
it out cleanly toward the boundary.
Don Bradman. Australian fielder, made
a hard try for it, but threw up his
hands with a gesture of helplessneSS as
the sphere shot past him to the fence.
England needed 161 to win when piay
was resumed this morning. H. Sutcliffe,
who has made a notable one-wicket
stand with Jack Hobbs on Friday, was
at bat with d. r. Jardine. They car
ried the score to 1919 when Jardifie was
bowled cleanly.

WOULD MAKE RING
KINGS KEEP BUSY
N. B. A. to War on Champs
Who Do Not Defend Titles
Every Six Months.
BY the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 5.-The Ma
tional Boxing Association plans to de-
clare war on ring champions who fail
to defend their titles at least once every
six months.
THE rules Of the National Boxing
Association are going to be enforced, "
President Paul Prehn said today.
Nothing will harm the sport more than
inactivity on the part Of the title
holders"
Prehn has addressed q letter to each
State boxing commission holding men,
bership in the association, asking it's
cooperation in the enforcement of the
six-month rule. He is. however. in
not complied with the rule. immediate
notice and reasonable length of time
in which to defend their titles before
they are suspended.
Prehn said he realized there are cases
where champions inactivity may be
caused by conditions over which he has
no control and where strict enforce
ment of the rule would be unfair.
At present, three champions recog-
nized by the N. B. A. are liable to sus-
pension. according to the rule. They
are Mickey walker, middleweight: Joe
Dundee, welterweight. and Sammy Man
dell, lightweight. Tommy Loughran,
light-heavyweight champion; Andre
Routis, featherweight titleholder, and
frankie Genaro. f1yweight champion, are
in good standing.

BASE BALL PROBE
HAS A NEW ANGLE
Attorney General Aroused by
Statement as to Fuchs
Contribution.


p0sTON Mass January 5.-The
c,,,dav snorts controversy between the
Rostnn CITY council and officials OF the
rsosto,1 National League base bali cluo,
IN which charges of attempted bribery
have been made, came under the oInclal
e1,rveiIlance of Attorney General joseph
E.. Warner today.
sending for copy of the stenograpnlc
notes of Yesterdays hearing before the
Roston Finance Commission, the attor-
ney general announced he had assigned
Gerald j. Callahan, assistant attorney
general, to assist him in an lnVestlga-
ton. 1-..4
The particular angle which brought
the attorney general INTO the case was
the charge made before the commits
sion that the $4,000 raised by the
outdoor Recreation League OF MaSSa-
ch,,setts in support of the referendum
for Sunday professional sports, accepted
bv a large majority at the November
election, was contributed almost wholly
iov Emil Fuchs, president of the Braves.
The charge was made by Joseph r.
walsh. counsel for Councilman William
q LYNCH, and for Daniel j. Carroll,
boxing promoter, associated WIN
Lynch.
President Fuchs has testified that
LYNCH approached MIN Will plUpOc1-
ton that he and IL other members COM
posing bloc" of the council should
be given $1,000 each in return for vot-
ing for acceptance of the referendum
as applying to Boston, thus making
Sunday base ball possible IN this city.
1t was while cross-examining witnesses
in the finance commissions investiga-
ton of the bribery charges that Carroll
made his accusations.
He asserted that the list OF contribu-
tors to the Recreation Leagues cam
rdkyn fund filed at the State House
was largely fictitious. He questioned
Edmund p. Cunningham, secretary Of
the Braves, at length regarding his
knowledge of the names on this list.
The attorney general also said that
he would take cognizance Of assertions
made at yesterdays hearing that q
large number of tickets of admission to
ball game at Braves field had been
issued free, the tickets bearing on their
reverse side an Endorsement, Of the
candidacy of Walter e. Jackson, a pri-
mary candidate for the State Senate
against former Senator Thomas II.
Bilodeau of this city Bilodeau. who
had announced himself as opposed to
Sunday professional base ball, was
defeated.
The finance commission will resume
its hearings on Tuesday.

Lewistown hatcheries and buy rearing
ponds in suitable localities.
The conservation department. Mr.
Earle said, Is planning to extend this
work during 1929, and Is receiving the
cooperation Of specimens clubs and
kindred organizations, including the
State Game and Fish Protective ASso-
Citations and local chapters Of the Izaak
Walton League OF Maryland, which rep
resents more than 5000 men.
The washington organizations using
Maryland waters extensively also are
cooperating, according to Mr.. Earle.
The effect of beavers on fishing
streams always has been a moot QueS-
ton, and doubtless the effect varies &C
cording to conditions and locality. 1t
remains, however for the SportSnen'S
Association OF Seattle, Wash, to in
augurate a plan for Systematically di-
recting the energies of these industrious
builders so as to contribute to the i'm
provement of fishing in streams IN that
State.
1t is intended to divert the beavers
| from their unurganized program of
building dams and put them to work
constructing dams at carefully selected
spots, thus forming artificial pools use
full for the propagation and encourage
ment of trout and other fish.
Streams in or adjoining a town or
city are useful or useless. What benefit
is a stream filed with pollution? What
good is stream that carries filthy
| breeders of disease or when its waters
are stained by outpouring of industrial
plants because of lack of proper sewage
| facilities?
There is no more beautiful stream in
| the country than our own Potomac
River but its waters are polluted or are
becoming polluted because of the many
Indifferent injurious substances that are
allowed to flow into it. It seems evil
/ dent that the laws in the Dis
trict of Columbia in regard to pollution
are not being enforced. Certain wastes
are flowing into the Potomac every day,
and nothing is done to put stop TO 1t.
Millions of dollars are being spent to
beautify the city and not cent to
purify one of the prettiest and most
historic streams in the country. Fill
tration takes care of most of the poi
sonous matter, but. nevertheless, there
| is no doubt that our filtration plant
works overtime to correct a condition
which should not exist.

WOMEN in SPORT

Sp0rtsw0men Of the W0men'S City
Club win gather on the evening Of jan

sports section of the club to be held at
the clubhouse at $50 o'clock. An in
teresting group of speakers has been
asked to attend by Helen G. ONeill,
chairman of the section, who Is in
charge of the affair.
An interesting program is being ar
ranged by Helen O'Neill, chairman of
the section, and her entertainment COM
mittee. The list of speakers has not
yet been announced.
Reports will be heard from each of
the sport chairmen. including the heads
of the tennis, golf, riding, swimming
gymnasium and hiking groups.
Illness and Indictment weather caused
another postponement of the title
match for the interplayground cham
pionShip, in which the tosserS from the
Chevy Chase and Garfield Fairgrounds
were to have figured yesterday morning
on the, Plaza playground basket ball
field.
Another date will be set for the game
sometime next week. according to Teresa
Breen of playground headquarters, as
soon as the condition of the absentee
players will permit. Grippe has gone
the rounds among the players, causing
several postponements of the contest,
which originally was to have been
played before the Christmas holidays.
A novel form of "self-government"
among the playground children of Mem
phis, Tenn was inaugurated last year
when every playground in the city ap-
pointed safety council from the ranks
of the girls and boys who frequented
the centers. From the council, safety
patrols were appointed to serve one
week at time, being responsible for
placing the street safety signs each
morning in the vicinity of their
grounds. In addition, the council acted
as a court for the trial of offenders
against playground safety rules, melting
out denials of playground privileges and
assigning certain duties as punishment.
The plan is reported by the Children's
Bureau to have been very effective.
