The victory Of Thomas Amlie,
at the recent special election in
Wisconsin to fill the vacancy
caused by the death Of the
veteran Representative Henry AL
len Cooper, is an important gain
for the Insurgents both in the
State and in Congress.
In Wisconsin it means the re-
tention by the La Toilette organi'
SatiOn Of g. district it was long
held only Cooper could carry for
them. In 1924 when Wisconsin
voted for the elder La Fcllette's
independent Presidential candi-
dacy by a large majority, Cooper's
district went for Coolidge. When
Cooper, the dean Of the House
in length Of service with his 18
terms, died early this past spring
the regular Republicans of the
State saw what they thought was
q rare opportunity for striking a
smashing blow at the Progress
SiveS.
They united on State Senator
Thomas Blanchard, who was
popular and wen known through
out the district. Blanchard had
run for Lieutenant Governor,
held several county offices, and
had been in the State legislature
for eight years. He had power
full newspaper support and Is an
aggressive campaigner.
Mrs. Cooper sought the La Fol.
lette Endorsement, but they turned
to young Annie, q Labor lawyer,
a wet, and ana outspoken critic
Of the Hoover Administration.
Several other self-professed Pro-
greSSives also entered the run-off,
but the race was between Amlie
and Blanchard.
Both made the issue souarely
on Hoover. Blanchard asked for
election to uphold the hands Of
the President" A1nlie publicly
announced that If sent to Wash
ington he would vote with the
Insurgents. ..
The Progressives threw their
most powerful campaigncrs into
Amlie'S fight. Senator La Fol-
lette, Senator Blaine, Governor
Phil La Toilette, toured the dis
trict urging Amlie's election. On
Blanchard's side were the ma
jority Of the local newspapers,
the full weight Of the regular
Republican machine, and Rep
resentatiVe John Schafer. Of Mil
waukee, a one-time La Folletteite
but now o bitter foe. Schafer,
although . wet, campaigned for
Blanchard a dry, because the
latter was anti-LR Toilette.
Amlie won by Q good margin
in the primary The election
which followed q few weeks later
was q walk-away. Opp osing him
was a Democrat, who having
failed to poll sufficient votes in
the primary to get his name on
the ticket as O party choice, had
to run as an independent.
In Congress, Amlie's coming
means that the Insurgents have o
militant fighter in the House.
Ever since the death Of the elder
La Toilette the Wisconsin House
delegation has been quiescent and
Intellectual. Under his urge and
command they were aggressive
and united. When he passed from
the scene the group diSintegrated.
Amile gives Young Bob q House
follower Of the type his father
used to have.
Such close factional collabora-
ton may mean much in the COM
ing session Of Congress where the
ProgressiveS viii be the balance Of
power. Amlie may well be the de-
Gliding influence in the close
race for the Speakership. BY

HARVEY DEFEATED,
But IS PROMISING
Dundee Gains Decision Over
English Champ, Though
FIoored Twice.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YEW YORK, January 1o.-Len
M Harvey Of England, recipient Of
one Of the best boxing ballyhoos
of the Winter, seems to have
convinced some 10000 New York fans
that he deserved all the kind words
that have been said and written about
him, but he lost his first fight here.
Harvey, making his debut at Madison
Square Garden last night, lost q close
decision to Vince Dundee, Fillmore
middleweight, by the unanimous vote
of the officials after IL stirring rounds.
Boos rang out after the announce
ment of the winner.
The Englishman went to work early
and f1oored Dundee twice in the first
round, but while the customers were
still shouting for quick knockout he
settled back into defensive boxing and
the rugged Dundee wore him down with
a steady punching drive and snatched
the decision with fine last-round rally.
The Associated Press score card gave
Harvey six rounds, Dundee i've and
called one, the sixth, even.
Right at the start Harvey caught
the Baltimorean with lusty left hook
to the head as he came in and bounced
him off the canvas. Vince got UP with
difficulty at the count of nine and ran
into another left hook After another
nine count, Dundee held and stalled
his way through the round.
Harvey weighed 154iz pounds, Dun
dee 159.

While we have known for a Iono

of Community Improvement.


CHICAGO, Ill, January 1o.-Resi-
dence construction will pick up "ap-
probably" in 1881, people will spend a
great deal of money to fix up old homes
and thereby improve the appearance OF
thousands of communities, according
to H. Morton Bodflsh, executive man.
ager of the United States Building and
Loan League.
In forecast for 1881 issued from the
Chicago Office of the league, which is
representative of a $9,000,000,000 bust
ness, Mr.. BodfiSh talks optimiStically
about the future and bases his state
ments on a survey Of the country made
in the last 10 days.
Conditions Improved.
The majority of the building and loan
associations reporting for the forecast
say that conditions have improved in
their communities in so far as the es-
tablishment of voluntary new savings
accounts and an increased demand for
loans for home financing are concerned.
The majority of these loans are for
the purchase of new homes and not for
refnancing. The fact that homes
throughout the country can be pur-
chased for lower price than has been
possible in the past 10 years has en-
undertake the installment purchase of
their domiciles, as provided by the
building and loan plan, says Mr.. Bod
fish.
I'VE note tendencies also in many
communities that indicate that there
will be an appreciate resumption of
new-home construction during 1881,
first because any normal amount of
activity in the purchase of homes
already built will soon absorb these
structures. and second because many
people like to have designed and built
homes embodying their own ideas.
People Keep Homes.
Even under normal conditions bust
ness can expect to be of from is to 20
per cent at odd times. The building
and loan associations of the country
nave an enviable record to show for the
past year in that, although many of
their thousands of borrowers must have
suffered from the business depression
real estate In possession of associations
Is only slightly above normal. This. of
course, shows that even in hard times
people VIII make every sacrifice to keep
MONIES in which they have an emIitv
and which they cherish otherwise"
The league manager said that some
OF the building and loan money is being
USED Tor modernization of homes. and
concludeS the forecast with the state
ment that he estimates conservativeIv
tnat the league members will increase
Lner assets by a half billion dollars
during the coming year.

Associated Press Sports Writer.

n TEW YORK, January 10. - 1t
IN has become a fistic axiom
Y that a dozen conferences
equal one heavyweight
championship bout. So far the
boys have used up only two or
three Of their quota in the situa-
ton revolving about Max Schmel-
ing, Jack Sharkey and Young
Stribling.
Schmeling is champion everywhere
but New York State; Sharkey has been
cast by the New York Athletic Commits
sion in role that closely resembles that
Of defending champion; Stribling seems
to be close to a unanimous choice as the
outstanding challenger.
The muddle has four main angles at
the moment:
First.-Nate Lewis, Chicago promoter,
is attempting to match Stribling and
Schmeling for the title in Chicago next
June.
Second. The Hearst Milk Fund is
attempting to make the same match
somewhere outside of New York, prob
adelphia as possibilities.
Th1rd.-In event that Stribling balks
at terms, the milk fund would shift to
match between Schmeling and Primo.
Fourth.-Madison Square Garden is
not enthusiastic, but willing to match
Sharkey ana Stribling in New York,
with championship recognition by the
State Commission awaiting the winner.
The milk fund, to which Schmeling
Is TIED by reason of sentiment and writ
ten contract, holds the whip hand at
present and seems likely to have the
chief say where any match involving
Schmeling is concerned. PA" Stribling,
the Southerner's father-manager, con-
ferred with milk fund promoters last
night but hitch developed over con-
ditions Of the title bout. 1t was as a
result of this disagreement that the
possibility of q switch to Camera was
suggested.
So far as Schmeling and the milk
fund are concerned, Sharkey is out of
the picture. They want either Stribltng
or Camera, preferably the former.
These developments all indicate that
Lewis and his 100000 offer for Schmel-
ings services had been left at the
post"
The Garden has obtained Sharkey's
verbal promise to meet Stribling and
Bill Carey, Garden president, wishes to
swing PA" Stribling into line This was
regarded as an all but impossible task
so long as Strlbling believes he has a
chance to meet Schmeling. If he fails
to get this shot at the German he might
be induced to consider a match with
Sharkey, even though title recognition
would come only In New York State.

ASSERTS N. Y. RING BODY
EXCEEDED IT'S AUTHORITY
CIinnin of N. b. c. Ayers Commission Took in Too
Much Territory Ruling Out Max-Milk
Fund Now Has Whip Hand.
BY CHARLES w. DUNKLEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


~HICAGO, January 1O.-The
1 National Boxing Associa-
~ ton, controlling the sport
in "a States, believes the
New York State Athletic Commits
sion, in stripping Max Schmeling
OF the world heavyweight cham
pionship, has taken in too much
territory.
That, at least, is the opinion of
MAJ. John V. Clinnin, president of the
N. b. A. and chairman of the Illinois
State Athletic Commission.
The New York Commission has
acted within its rights" Gen. Clinnin
SAID today, under its existing rules.
IN suspending Schmeling for failure to
detend his title within six months,
but the commission certainly is at
tempting to take in a lot of territory
when it seeks to vacate a world cham
pionship title without the advice or
consent of the rest of the world"
Gen. Clinnin, himself lawyer, said
the New York Commission acted be-
yond its power when 1t declared that
Schmeling must fight Jack Sharkey
and disregard all other suitable OPP
ponents.
1.-THE strictest enforcement of the
rule requiring the holder of the cham
pionShtp to defend the title within six
months from the date of winning it
will do more to increase the popu-
larity of boxing with the public than
any other rule Of the National Boxing
Association"
In stressing the six months grace
period Gen. Clinnin said the N. B. A.
may vacate the title of present holder
and then may name the outstanding
contestants to meet suitable opponent
in order to determine the new cham
pion.
Gen. Clinnin is investigating the re-
cent one-round knockout victory Mickey
Walker, middleweight champion, scored
here over K. o. Christner, the Akron
heavyweight. Christner lasted less
than two minutes with Walker, finally
going through the ropes. Christner
claimed he had injured a leg in the
fall into the laps of reporters at the
ringside.
AS a result Of that fall the State
commission ruled that the reporters
must now occupy seats four feet away
from the ring, leaving an open space
so the fighters can fall on the con-
crete floor. The only immediate oc-
cupants of the ringside space will be
the two judges and the timekeeper.

~HICAGO, January 10 (P).-Dur-
ing 1880 the professional golfer
would appear to have advanced
his position in a substantial
manner, particularly regarding his mer-
chandising contracb with the manu-
facturers and in the value of his turn
over, which greatly exceeds all previous
figures. Golf continues to absorb the
interest of increasing thousands each
year, and while the recent season saw
fewer golf courses laid out, the attend
ance at the courses is reported as far
greater than heretofore.
Additional interest has been created
in instruction by the use of moving pic
lures. and it is believed that this is
only the beginning of new day in golf
teaching. Many leading professionals
are now using the moving picture
camera as a more effective method of
telling the story of how properly to hit

will soon have been written in the total
determination Of the shad in its native
waters.
He said that a recent Investigation
disclosed the fact that shad States were
permitting the operation of gill nets and
pounds nets In unlimited numbers in all
waters in which shad were likely to be
found.
In reply to a QUESTIONABLE sent out
by the Bureau of Fisheries, it was
learned that many of the commercial
fishermen were reSentful of laws and
regulations and, contrary to expecta-
ton, many of them were not interested
In the conservation of the fisheries.
They argued that If fewer shad were
caught, higher market prices would
prevail for those obtained.
Leach says fish in public waters
should belong to the State and the
state should exercise its right to i'm
pose a tax or license on their capture.
The kind of nets should be prescribed
limit placed upon the number
operated. and the fish warden service
OF the State should be equipped with
FAST motor boats, to see that the laws
are rigidly enforced. The State should
set aside natural spawning grounds for
shad and prohibit fishing thereon.
He also says that in some instances
shad fishing should be confined to a
period of about 80 days, and included
IN that period there should be a weekly
closed season extending from shutdown
Friday to sunrise Monday. This would
permit the shad to ascend the rivers to
their spawning grounds.
Gov. Albert C. Richie In his address
to the General Assembly of Maryland
last week emphasized the necessity for
greater conservation measures and par
ticularly in regard to fish in Chesapeake
Bay and the Potomac River.
