GRIF FITH5
HAS INSIDE
TRACK
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, Dec. 80 dN.S0 -
Having apparently promised shar'
key and the Miami fight to every
body in the telephone book, the
Garden Corporation now win pro-
eeed to discover whether talking
ones way out is as rudimentary q
matter as talking ones way in.
The trouble with the Garden
crowd is that it realized, all OF a
sudden, that you can't have o
prize fight without somebody to
lose it. So, fearing that a one
man fight might lack the elements
%5f human interest, the boys were
ali a-twitter and promises droiled
from their aShen lips upon all who
came within the spell OF their ora
tory. -.
,Sharkey at Miami" they told
Tuffy Griffith. He won from
Risko.
"COme back to the United
States and we will give. you
gharkey at Miami" they
j, cabled VictOriO CampOIO. He
! is coming back.
There probably is one OF these
perfect understandings. too, with
the winer Of the Paulano-Vfe1
Porat fight next week. although
1t is probably that the latter
can't win before the entries close
and the field is officially made

AT that moment, Griffith. has
the Pole position and this Pole
isn't a Lithuanian, either. Sharkey,
IA fact, turned Griffith down like
IN collar on Saturday, his claim
eing, that Campolo was prom
fed to him and that he was all
for gentlemen's agreements and
everything.
According to one story today.
he has capitulated and that the
Sharkey-G Griffith fight, will be
signed this week. with Griffith
getting 20 per cent Of the gate,
provided the latter has anything
beside g couple of hinges. ii
Griffith thus gets the break that
originally wasn't intended Tor
him, Campolo will have to be
squared. So probably will the
Paulino-Von Porat survivor.
They say, in fact, that the
Garden people are seriously con-
Sidering a Miami program. where
by Sharkey and Griffith will
head the show, with Compolo get
ting either Pauline or Won Porat
in the semifinal and Young
Stribling appearing in the third
"ten' of the evening.
I have no way Of knowing
whether this is the idea con-
templated. but am forced to
admit that IL Is one way Of
making as much as possible
out of nothing.
II Sharkey takes Griffith =

opponent, not to belt as q chuInp
the latter viii have only one
thing to thank for the fact,
namely, that the Garden did its
talking by Morse and not by
Ozone. It is down on white paper
to give Griffith this spot, Tuffy's
manager having turned up =
documentary telegram to that ef-
feet. The only proviso was that
he heat Risko decisively, and
even Risko will agree that he did
that.
Campolo probably has the same
written assurance. butts he either
is In South America or in mid
ocean. Anyhow, he cant file a
writ Of nandamus and I'm sure
this is q great comfort to every
body. Griffith's demands, in
brief, are the more irnperious be-
cause he is on the ground,
euuawking, whereas CanlpolO Is
on the deck, walking, or words
to that silly effect.

Less than five years ago prac-
tically every bowling alley north
of New York was equipped with
candle pins and rubber.banded
ducks. The present popular type
of maple pin was seldom found
anywhere in that section Of the
country.
A complete metamorphoSis has
rapidly been brought about. the
skinny candle pin sticks disappear.
ing from the drives. the rubber
banded ducks losing great deal
Of their popularity. and bowling
establishments eQuipping their In
Stallations with the hardwood
naples. What brought about this
marvellous change, and how was
it accomplished?
The lions share OF the
credit for this widespread al
teratiOn i'm sentiment toward
the local style of duckpin
must be accorded George L.
Isemann, secretary of the Ma
tiOnaI Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress, who has travelled many
thousands Of miles and la
bored incessantly for the pro-
motion Of the sport.
For some time prior to the or
ganization of the national bowl
ing body on September 8, 1927,
Isemann had been working like
a trojan for the bowling game,
forming through his splendid at.
liability contacts which have as.
sumed tremendous proportions,
and preaching far and wide the
advantages of the adoption of
the hardwood type OF maple. With
the formation of the Congress.
the selection Of Tsen1ann was .
logical one, and the wisdom of
his choice for the position is
borne out by the fruitful work
he has done.
He went up into the New Eng
land States with q fixed determi-
nation to convince bowling pro-
moters that their business inter-
ests would be enhanced by the
adoption Of the hardwood pins.
His first efforts were far from en-
couraging. but temporary rebuffs
cid not daunt him. and he pro
ceeded to map out q campaign OF
bowling education" and put II
into effect. Special match games
were arranged In which he took
part himself, singles events were
made a part of the program, and
finally a foothold was gained
when he succeeded In organizing
q team here and q league there,
in scattering sections Of the YAM
kee stronghold.
The oftener the game was seen
the better it became liked, and
| the genial George lost no time in
providing opportunities to have it
better known. He started an in
tensive drive through Massachu-
| sets and Connecticut in particu-
lar and finally his laborS were
crowned with success beyond his
fondest expectations.
Today the hardwood maple
pins are supplanting In the
New England States the
former types of games-and
they are there to stay. The
old established leagues have
taken to them with q relish.

gu. MAY SELECT
COACH IN n. Y.

With New York swarming with
coaches and other gridiron men
this week for the annual con-
clave, the belief prevails here
that Father, Joseph T. O'Brien,
Georgetown's faculty athletic ad-
visor, who is attending the ses-
sion, will come back with the
. signature of the coach selected to
replace Lou Little as mentor OF
the Georgetown football team
next fall.
Chuck Collins, North Carolina
coach. who was under conSidera-
tion for the G.. u. post, has motif
fled the Tar Hell athletic board
that he will fill out his contract
with them. This contract still
has another year to run.
Among the men known to be
under conside ation by the Hill
top authorities for the position
are Adam Walsh, present line
coach lat Yale; Tommy Mills,
freshman coach at Notre Dame,
and Mike Palm, backfield coach
at the Hilltop for the past year.
No indication has come,
from officials. at Georgetown 4
who the new mentor may
be. They have consistently
CIOaked the matter with the
utmost secrecy other than to-
state that no definite Selec-
tiOn has yet been made.
However, it is believed that
they have chosen the man they
want definitely but have not YET
come TO an agreement with him
and are withholding his identity
until they have his name on the
dotted line to take over the reins
here.
Mike Palm also may eliminate
himself from further considera-
tion for the post any day. He
has stated that he is Weighing a
fine business opportunity which,
If accepted. will make it impos-
sible for him To give any Of his
time to football

be available for play by tomor-

which melted the snow-coyered

to this forced idleness in view of

IRELAND IN PROTEST
OF PRlvY COUNCIL
Free State Leaders Insist All Legal
Decisions Should Rest With
Supreme Court.

DUBLIN (R.-There is one important
political issue on which President
Cosgrave Of the Irish Free State and
canon De Valera are in complete
accord. They agree that the last word
in all legal decisions should rest with
the supreme court OF the saorstat.
But, though the constitution declares
that the supreme court decisions shall
not be reviewed by any other au-
thority, there is provision also In
the constitution, in accordance with
the treaty with England, that nothing
shall impair the right of any person
to petition the King or special leave
to appeal to his majesty in council
or the right of his majesty to grant
such leave.
This means that the Free State
Supreme Court does not really have
the last word. And the Kings deci-
sion as to whether an appeal should
be allowed Is not guided by the ad-
vice of Irish ministers, but directly
by the Privy Council.
This Is felt. to be a restriction on
irish freedom. and the Free state
government has countered it. by re-
fore the Privy Council in London.
When a litigant has insisted on going
there, the government has defeated him
by passing q special act Of parliament
dealing with the point in dispute.
All parties concur in this course
save the old Unionist party, which de-
sires to maintain the British connec-
ton.

THREE POWER SOURCES
IN LOCOMOTIVE TESTED
New Type cotton Engine May
Revolutionize Terminal
Operations.

CHICAGO (P).-Terminal railroading
and switching may be revolutionized by
a new type cotton locomotive being test
ed here by the Illinois Central Railroad
The new locomotive, sYnokeless and
noiseless, can be operated from any one
of three sources Of power-overhead
wires, gas engines and storage batteries.
Operating under trolley wires the
locomotive can haul from 40 to so cars,
tests have shown. Using power gener-
ated by its own storage batteries 1t can
be used for switching cars on tracks
that do not carry electric current.
The locomotive Is mounted on two
trucks, each provided with two electric
motors. Two engines use gasoline at
the start. but when warmed UP burn oil
similar to that used in heating resi-
dences. The engines can be used for
traction purposes or to charge the bat
teries. The batteries also can be
charged from a generator which s)er-
ates when the locomotive works under
a trolley.
Changing from one source Of power
to another Is merely matter of pushing
a button.

In response to . popular clamor, the
project of police Of Paris has been COM
PEELED to make some regulations with
the object Of reducing the noises Of the
city, both during the night and day.
ALI auto horn blowing at night Is pro-
hibited, as well as the sirens Of the
boats on the Seine. Locomotive whis-
Ting has been reduced to minimum.
Driving with open cut-outs is prohibiteS
at all times throughout the city, and
the unnecessary noises Of the daytime
are also restricted. Building operations
at night are permitted only when done
without annoyance to the persons living
in the vicinity. A similar regulation
has been recently put into effect in
Havana, where all noises have been pro-
hibited at night and those of the day
time subdued to reasonable point
Belfries are silent after 8 o'clock in the
evening, and the cries of street vendors
and factory whistles have been stilled

Packages for Shipments.

More than billion containers are
used in the shipments from the farms
and these are divided into FIVE classes
baskets, barrels, crates, boxes and sacks
There are seven styles Of baskets, three
Of barrels and several Of boxes. The
bags are usually of jute, although cotton
and other f1bers are being studied for
use. But the problem is not so much in
these different containers as in their
sizes and the various uses to which they
are put. For instance, given vege-
table may be shipped in all five types
Of containers in different parts of the
country. This is not regarded as eco
nomical. however. for it has been found
that the best results are obtained by
securing boxes ADAPTED for the special
use to which thov are to be put
