The protest of the Meridians,
charged with a forfeit when they
failed to appear for their game
with the Notre Dame Props last
Sunday in the 135-pound league,
was granted, and the contest or.
dered replayed. The Meridians
claimed they were advised the
Government fields had been closed
Sunday because of the rain. 81
The 125-pound Meridians also
protested the victory gained by
the Brookland Boys Club. They
declared that William F'arran, Of
the Brookland team, was over
weight. The scales were brought
out and Farran weighed within
the prescribed limits. Perhaps
William was heavily padded when
he opposed the MeridianS.

By DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Nov. Mime
months ago, a certain coterie Of
men around Madison Square
Garden set out to make New
York boxing forget Rickard. To
day, they are in q position to
state that they have succeeded
beyond all reason. They even
made New York forget boxing.
1t may sound silly to those who
know the amount of sap money
that flouriSheS in this town, but
nevertheless the possibility that
the boxing capital Of America is
moving elsewhere more than
exists. It clamors for hearing.
Right or wrong on this point,
there isn't any doubt about the
authenticity ~ of another claim.
There isn't any doubt that, tenn
porarily at least, Madison Square
Garden no longer is the White
House of boxing. ...
It isn't to this citadel that box
ing now looks for its big matches
and purses. Boxing would get
granulated eyelids if it did. The
Garden has sponsored two major
fights since Rickard died. One
of these was Richards own, the
Sharkey-Stribling event la It
winter. The other was the cor
poration-made fight betwee n
Sharkey and Loughran, which
netted a lot of haircut money.
The corporations third
stand-Out match of the year is
the Scott-VOn POrat affair
next month and can't cheer
the Garden all the way up
from the battery to City Hall
on that one because it actu.
ally was made by amateur
promoters behind the Christ
mas fund show.
OF course, New York Is New
York and you can't forever keep
The Washington times., 1929-11-07

Also there is no Dempsey to
walk down the street and make
the whole town give chase. There
isn't even a Tunney to make
them mad. They simply have be-
come apathetic.
Commission made regulations,
CT course, have kept champions
like Walker, Mandell and Fields
out of town. They are forced TO
fight at championship weight
here, so naturally they stay away
in a body. But is this the full
answer? I doubt it.
I doubt it because I doubt
whether New York would have
crossed over 100000 for a
Walker-Hudkins fight, as Los
Angeles did. And I know that
Mandell and McLarnin wouldn't t
have touched the hundred thou
sand they drew in Chicago. A
McLarnin and Fields title fight
belongs on the coast, too. They
will go twice for it there where
they will go once here.
Frankly, the cities mentioned
weren't better fight towns a year
ago. They may not be better
fight towns a year hence. But
they are now.

Enlarged to twelve teams, the

will begin activities Saturday night
using two gyms. whereas for the
past eight years three games were
played every Sature-y night at
only the mems "Y" gym. The boys
"Y" gym will also be used for con-

Games are only played on Sat

All the neighborhoods are
amply equipped with drives which
are kept perfectly conditioned

plenty of fine pinsters who hang
UP fancy scores on these alleys.
Up in the West End there are
the Georgetown Recreation Alleys,
1926 Wisconsin Ave. N. W., owned
by G. r. Cooley and under the
care of Sam Benson, whose duck
pin feats make bowling history.
These Is alleys. established two
years ago, are as perfectly kept
as is humanity possible. The
equipment is all uniform, the pin

for his game.
Then there's the PetwOrth

properly equipped.
The Suburban League, one Of
the fastest bowling loops in the
city, struts it's stuff on these
alleys. Their schedule is ar
ranged so there is a game on
every night.

opened back in 1922, have been
entirely renovated for this year

Northeast citizenry.
The Northeast and Eastern

are staging some spirited
struggles on these alleys on
Mondays and Tuesdays. Two

as home alleys.
The Rialtos Doubles League,
which will open tonight, an all
Jewish combination, and the All.

James H. Penniman, Oldest and
most scholarly of the Phillie

vost Of the University Of Penn

the Hot Stove League with
some novel suggestions regard
ing changes in the game.
DR.. Penniman wants four
outs to the inning and games
shortened to seven innings.

game-juSt one more than ut
present-and there wouldn't be
so much time wasted changing

doubleheaders whenever possible
and when that is impossible, play
one game of IL innings.
1T could even be worked out
that a 12-inning game woulC
count for more than the othel
kind"
One of his other revolutionary
ideas is not to pitch four balls tt
batter when he's to be passed in
tentionally. It's all a waste oi
time, and the batsman should bt
waved to first as soon as the
pitchers intentions be com {
known.
DR.. Penniman also thinks the
batter shouldn't be asked to rur
the bases when he hits 9
home run. He seems to forget
the batter likes to jump joyously
on every base and the crowd likes
to watch his triumphal progress
DR.. Peniman wants white caps
for all the players, because white
caps shed the heat while the con
blue ones absorb it

KELLEHER IS GIVEN
|. 5 YEARS IN PRISON
Man Convicted in Gambling
Case Also Fined $500.
Appeal Taken.

John 3. Kelleher, recently convicted
on % counts of an indictment charging
the setting up Of gaming table, was
sentenced today by Chief Justice Nc
Coy In Criminal Division l to serve a
term OF imprisonment of more than
eight years in the penitentiary and TO
pay fine of $7,500. Through Attorney
Daniel Thew Wright, he noted an ap-
peal to the Court of Appeals and was
denied an application to be admitted to
bail pending the decision OF the Appel
late Court.
The sentence is rather involved. Un-
der the six felony counts Of the trdict-
ment the court imposed sentence OF
Under two counts charging only mis-
demeanors the court imposed one year
each, but allowed them also to run with
the five-year term. AT the expiration OF
the five years Kelleher Is sentenced to
serve IS terms of 90 days each to run
consecutively and TO pay fine of $500
on each of the Is counts, which charged
the making of handbook on the races.
Chief Justice Mccoy scored the
prisoner for allowing his wife, Mrs
Annie Kelleher, to take the witness
he knew that she was going to say that
the list of customers of the gambling
house was one she had prepared to send
Christmas greetings Mrs. Kelleher was
In court when the sentence was imposed.
The chief Justice also said the evidence
showed that Kelleher had hoped to
escape conviction by having the blame
assumed by one Of the co-defendants
who had pleaded guilty.
Attorney Wright pleaded for a light
sentence, declaring that Kelleher was
not running more of a gambling house
than is being conducted every night by
politically powerful citizens and by
many women who daily play bridge and
other games of cards for money. He
urged that the law is not enforced
against the rich and powerful, but only
against the humble.
Assistant United States Attorney
William II. Collins conducted the prose-
cution of Kelleher.
