PETITION AGAINST
 .BELvlDERE STORE
(Continued From First Page)

opposition.
 The letter from Mir. Comstock to Inspector Rutherford reads:- Dear Sir:-
 T wish to record my protest against the opening of the store on Charles s. Andrews property across the street from my home. We have suffered so much from the noise and dirt when there was store in this same structure that I cannot feel that 1t is right that we should be subjected to further annoyance from this source. I consider that a store at this point is distinct injury to the value of my property.
 Tt seems to me that the aim and intent of our zoning plan is to pro- tect property owners against just such encroachments as this upon residence districts. cannot believe that there would be anything right or just in permitting store at thls point.
 Very truly yours, "Signed:
 "J B. Comstock."
 Mir. Comstock also sent Mir. Ruth crford a letter received by him from Samuel Kolodney. member of the firm of kolodney brothers. lessee of the store. The letter reads:- Dear Sir
 'In answer to your telephone re- quest with regard to the building al 1857 Stanley street, owned by Charles Andrews of which we are tenants under lease expiring on or about July 1. 1929. will state that this store was closed about five years ago and has since not been used for any purpose whatsoever and no" contains parts of broken store fix lures and other debris all of no value.

Andrews and adjoIn- ing the property of the State Normal school do hereby empower and an- thorize Attorney Monroe s. Gordon to object and dissent to reopen what WAS formerly a store on said premises for the following reasons:
 "l. Said building has not been used for d store or storehouse for a period of four years prior 10 date.

In 1927, with the teams fortunes at

n YEW YORK, December 21.-Tod
Morgan has relinquished his
VI junior lightweight champion
4 ship, but whether to his con-
queror, Benny Bass, awaits the
decision of an official inquiry by the
New York State Athletic Commission.
Bass, the ile-driving puncher from
Philadelphia, knocked out Morgan in
the second round Of their 15-round
titular bout in Madison Square Garden
and apparently succeeded to the 130-
pound crown beyond doubt. A few
minutes after the knockout, however,
Chairman James A. Farley of the State
commission ordered the purses Of both
fighters withheld pending an investiga-
ton to be begun by the commission on
Tuesday. Bass and Morgan, with their
managers, were ordered to appear be-
fore the solons at that time. Farley in
dicated that he did not believe the bout
had been fought on its merits.
Farley's action was taken after re-
ports reached the commission of the
somewhat intricate financial arrange
ments of the bout. It was said that
in the event he lost, Morgan had been
guaranteed $4,000, but that II he won
he would receive 371a per cent Of the
gate. The gate, as it turned out, was
approximately $4,000, of which it was
said Morgan would have received little
more than $4,000 had he won.
Referee Satisfied.

Commissioner Farley warned Referee
Jimmy Crowley to watch for anything

scenic assets as the Great Falls of the
Potomac and the Cumberland Falls In
Kentucky.
Continuing a Nation-T1d
campaign to clean up all inland and
coastal waters.
The far-reaching benefits of the Izaak
Walton League always will be those
local achievements which, because of
their very number, will not attract wide
publicity. AS an illustration, the local
chapter of the league, after long, hard
fight, secured the passage OF a bill by
Congress prohibiting the sale of large
and small mouth bass in the District of
Columbia. The local chapter has now
joined the Baltimore chapter in its fight
to have the Maryland Legislature pass
such bill.
The local chapter has its own prob
lens in the way Of pollution and better
protection for bass in tidewater. The
Potomac River below Washington is the
chief tideWater bass stream over which
Maryland has jurisdiction. In this
stream the only protection given the
bass is q closed season of four months
in the year, April, ay, June and July
During the remainder Of the year any
thing can happen to the bass, and al
most everything does happen. Right
today it is reported that big hauls Of
bass are being made each day and
shipped to open markets. just why the
Maryland Legislature cannot see this
evil and put stop to it Is mystery.
The monthly meeting Of the District
Of Columbia Chapter of the Izaak Wal
ton League was held last "wednesday
night at the Raleigh Hotel. About 90
members were present and nine new
ones were recorded. making total OF
% additions during November and De
cember. The chapter now Is OF sum
cient size to feel its Importance in the
community and larger program 1or
1880 is being mapped out.
At the January meeting OF the chap-
ter the nomination Of officers for the
ensuing year will be one Of the impor-
tant matters to come UP. Another
question that has been under consld-
Grafton for some time is that OF chang
ing the name Of the organization from
the Potomac Anglers Association, local
chapter Of the Izaak Walton League, TO
the District Of Columbia Chapter. A
great many Of the older members OF
the organization are opposed to the
change, while others contend that the
Potomac Anglers Association means
nothing to people outside OF the Dis
trict. A vote on the question Is ex-
pected to be taken at the next meeting.

N EW YORK, December 2l,-Gene
Tunney's permanent retirement
VI from the ring does not mean
l. that Gentleman Gene has for
gotten all about the hectic mo-
ments he spent inside the roped arena.
Some of Genes fights were terrific ones.
So much so that Tunney is being care
fully examined to ascertain whether
some blows he received have not in
jured delicate nerves and muscles,
which may show at some future date.
Tunney's fears are not groundlesS.
There is a good reason for the precau-
tionary measures he is taking at this
late date. Fear of a permanent injury
and not his marriage to Polly Lauder
was the reason Gene retired from the
ring.
One rainy day at Spectator, N. Y,
when the heavyweight champion was
training for what was to be his last
appearance in the ring, Gene told the
writer a story when then bore out the
assumption that he would retire before
the heavy battering one endures in
fistic encounters would exact too heavy
a toll from him.
1t seems that in one Of his fights
Tunney was hit hard In the back of the
head and for several days he suffered
loss of memory. The lapse was only
momentary but 1t had its effect on the
sensibilities of the champion. Talking
the matter over with noted physician,
who specialized in mental and optic
nerves, Gene was told that a heavy blow
had disturbed the convolutions of his
brain cells so much that the next time
complete suspension Of the mind might
occur.
The thought that insanity might be
the result in later years had deciding
effect on the champion, so that 1t was
but a matter of course for him to cast
aside his world laurels and seek other
more prosaic pursuits.

1t is a good enough general definition
Of amateurism, but 1t seems that the
amateur bodies of the United States
had to write in Volstead amendment
that would reduce the professional con-
tent of American professionalism in our
amateurism to less than half of l per
cent. The American notion is that the
Simon-pure amateur athlete, besides be-
ing shut off from the cash prize direct
profit indirectly from his participation
in amateur sports.
That brought out the player writer
rule in the case of Mr.. William T.
Tilden, I'd. The United States Lawn
Tennis Association decided that If
Mr.. Tilden had not acquired a GER
tain amount of prestige through his
standing in amateur tennis his cur
rent literature concerning the cur
rent tennis tournaments would not
bring him any large remuneration.
It had the theory that there was an
illegally high professional content in
his amateurism and that it had to
be boiled down to the proper per-
centage.
The result has been a controversy be-
tween Mr.. Tilden and the U. S. L. T. A.
which furnished much merriment to all
concerned, except the members of the
U. S. l.. 7. A, who were earnestly en-
deavoring to hold Mr.. Tilden to the
Volsteadian standards of amateurism.
1t became as complicated as disarnla-
ment conference.
The United States Golf Association
also had some worriment in trying to
tighten up the amateur law and to
put teeth in it," as the boys on the
Methodist Board Of Morals, Temper
ance and Prohibition, or what you call
1t. would say. Only the golf1ng solonS
are less vehment about it.
It seems that the royal and ancient
permits amateur golfers to sell sport
ing goods. The unroyal and more
modern American body does not. But
