All Net Profit

Now look at the matter in
another light and perhaps the
stagers of the enterprise didn't
get off so badly after all. If
the $1,507 was clear profit,
which probably isn't far from a
fact, it represents sum the
benefactors wouldn't otherwise
have had.
Few fight shows stag d
around Washington net their
hackers that much clear after
all of the fighters have been
paid and after the rent, adver-
tising, printing and taxes have
been settled for.
So there are many angles
from which to view this $1,5O7
gate from a house of 10000
spectators. A great number of
those familiar with the con-
rivers in the pugilistic business
looked with skepticism on the
announcement that Walker and
Berg and Dundee would actually
head the bill.
It sounded a little bit too
good to be true. Walker had
fought the night before and,
while he could easily have ap-
peared here the following eve
ming and done what little
would be expected of him, it
didn't stand to reason he would
come.

Charity at Home

.'.fter all, what had either
of the three professionals to
gain from donating their SER
vices to a non-fight center like
Washington. Such a statement
is not an allegation they have
no charity in their hearts, but
what charity they do have is
spread around communities
which are fertile fields for paid
engagements at future times.
And so we are all a little
wiser. though a little sadder,
If not a little m re ashamed,
following the poor returns from
WaShington's latest h arity
fistic effort.
In the meantime the game
gets black eye because the
people we're told three out
standing gentlemen we're to
grace the bill, neither of whom
appeared, if indeed they ever
intended to appear.
But what is another black
eye to the ring game! 1t is

entries.
The rules and records commit
tee of the I. A. A. F., in a star
chamber session. debated Nurmi's
case with unfavorable results, and
forwarded to the I. A. A. F.
Council an adverse, 7 to 2, re-
port, it was learned on reliable
authority.
That Nurmi himself will come
before the council in a desperate
effort to vindicate his amateur
standing was considered likely.
Congress May Hear Case
There is a possibility that Nur-
mis- case may come before the
Olympic Congress, which meets
tomorrow. This would be by an
indirect method. Should the con-
greSS approve an amendment to
the I. A. A. F. bylaws, then the
I. A. A. F. would be empowered
to suspend, temporarily or per-
manently, any athlete suspected
of violating the amateur code.
At present the I. A. A. F. con-
troll over Nurmi is confined to re-
jectingAor approving his entry in
the games. His amateur status
cannot be considered since the
highest Finnish amateur body
has declared him to be eligible.
The prevailing opinion is that
nothing can bring about a re-
instatement of the Finn, whose
travelling expense accounts have
been questioned.
Aside from Nurmi, interest cen
tered on the new world records
approved by the rules and records
committee of the I. A. A. F. All
of the marks up for consideration
were made many months ago, and
the recent efforts of Ben East
man, of Stanford, in the 400
meters were not included in the
list since they have yet to be
approved by the American Ath-
letic Union.
The rules committee also was
reported to have banned starting
blocks, but recommended use of
a new photo-electric timer. The
I. A. A. F. was to make final
decision tomorrow.

1t Will Require Two-thirds
Majority to Send Wet
and Dry Issue Before
the People and the Wet

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
Copyright 1882, by United Press

Washington, March 11--Anti-
prohibitionists are concentrating On
the argument that the country
should be given a chance to re-
Judge federal prohibition.
This Is the explanation of their
pressure for the showdown vote In
the house next Monday to force
submission to the states of re-
peaier of the 18th amendment.
As q two-thirds majority Is re-
CURED, defeat Is inevitable even OF
the preliminary vote to get the
question before the house carries,
which Is doubtful. This will be IN
the form of motion TO discharge
the house judiciary committee from
coneid Grafton of the Beck-Linthi-
cum repeal amendment.
A majority Is required to dis
charge the committee--that Is, to
force the bill out of the pigeon
hole on the house floor. The high
est well-informed estimate Is that
this motion will get 100 votes. 1t
was made by Rep Rainey, democ.
cratic leader, who will vote TO call
UP the measure. Many absentees are
expected, and should the total vote
run under $50 out of member
ship Of 435, the motion would car
~. II has only an outside chance.
In any case. there will be no
repeal amendment submitted to the
states as q result of this skirmish.
'rhe next play of the anti-prohibi-
tionists will be on the theme that
drys In congress have refused the
people a chance to pass on prohi-
bition. They are leaning heavily on
the psychology Of the sovereign
American voter, whose blood pres
sure rises rapidly at the faintest
suggestion that anybody Is trying
to keep him from exercising his
prerogatives.
THE pending tax bill--the heav-
lest in peace-time history--ls an
other potent weapon In the hands
OF the anti-prohibition shock
troops. To all complaints over the
severity Of the proposed increases
they answer:
Beer would save us from such
taxes"

One OF Many Vessels That
Are Not Heard From
Storms at Sea Have
Been Taking Toll

New York, March 11-(U. P.)-

ship went down $40 miles south
east of Nantucket, Mass.
Meanwhile nine coast guard cut
