Benjamin Franklin tried to steal
the girl friend Of his pal.
The writer of Poor Richards
Almanac" one of the most quoted
books of the universe, was by his
own admission living in possible
bigamy at the time he gained fame
as statesman and publisher.
Out of musty book shelves and the
reek of bottles of drugs in back
room in the pharmacy of James r.
Cole, Indiana avenue and North
street, comes these pertinent side
lights on Poor Richard" from
book written by Franklin and pub
lished following his death.
The memoirs Of The First Printer
Of the Land. dated as being pub
lished in 1909, is just one of many
valuable books and first editions
collected by Cole in the last thirty
five years.
Turns Hobby Into Profit
Always a pharmacist by trade,
Cole in the last few months Of the
depression, has turned his hobby
collecting rare volumes. into bust
ness Of buying and selling, With the
result that he finds book shelves of
impoverished families and those OF
the unemployed finding their way
to his store.
He SENS for antidusted bindings,
out date works, like fisherman
on the White river.
And l wouldn't. take $4,000 for
my catch" Cole asserts as he re-
fuses to place definite sale prices
on such works as Suppressed
Poems of Lord Byron" and Per
petual Laws of Commonwealth OF
Massachusetts, printed in 1913.
"A book to be valuable must be
wanted by some one" he added as
he fingered several Of the 500 first
editions in his possession.
Human Side Is Shown
The human side Of the philoso-
pher who has served as a library Of
wisecracks over one hundred and
fifty odd years is aptly demonstrate
ed in the yellowed volume kept in
Coles safe.
1t was printed in Montpelier, Vt,
by Samuel Goss for Josiah Parks.
The title page announces that 1t Is

Historians and biographers Of
Franklin who have declared his
fondness for the feminine gender
is borne out in Coles book by
Franklin's own writings.
He tells of one episode where
friend of his. called Ralph" left
a Mrs. T in his care. The won-
ans name is discreetly left in doubt
with the typographical dash.
Franklin says of the episode
Meanwhile Mrs. T having lost
on his account (Ralph), both her
friends and her business. was fire.
ouently in distress. In this dilem-
ma she had recourse to me, and to
eXtricate her from difficulties I lent
her all the money l could spare. I
felt little too much fondness for
her. She informed Ralph of
my conduct, and the affair occa-
stoned a breach between us. When
he returned from London he gave
me to understand that he consid-
cred all obligations he owed me as
annihilated by this proceeding"
Poor Richard" however, consoles
himself with the loss of his friend
through his attempt to swipe his
girl with, I was the less afflicted
at this, as he was unable to pay
me, and as by losing his friendship
l was relieved at the same time of
a heavy burden"

Liberal SUB CODE
PLEASES COACHES
Many Fear Other ReVisionS
viii Work Hardship on
Smaller Player.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


n IEW YORK, February 10
M Generally speaking. the
i Y official reaction to the
changes made in the play
code by the National Foot Ball
Rules Committee has been favor
able, but there have been dis
senters enough to make the de-
bate interesting.
The new and liberalized sub
stitutes rule and the move toward
making equipment safer not only
Tor the wearer, but his opponents
as well, met with almost unani-
nous approval.
But protests of varying degrees OF
emphasis greeted the other four
changeS-the alterations in the kick
OH ana dead ball" rules and the com
mltteeS decision to forbid the use of
Cre aggressive use OF the hands on the
defense. '''~
Opinions Varied.
ThoSe who favored the changes took
tne position that the Rules COMMITTEES
nao mace the game safer for the plav-
erS without taking anything vital from
IL. Ihose opposed believed some sDec-
tacular features had been removed and
that the new rules would handican the
smaller player severely.
Elmer Layden of Duquesne declared
the rule which foroids a player on the
oeIenSe TO strike a rival on the head
or lace with his hands will eliminate
the use of small players" and called it
simply protection for the big BOYS"
=, lie was Joined in that stand by
three other former Notre Dame-traiued
coaches, Tommy Mills of Georgetown,
rip Miller of Navy and Edward (Slip)
Madigan of st. Mary's of Oakland. and
by Bill Ingram of California. Harvey
Harman of Penn thought the penalty
for violation of this rule (disqualifica-
ton of the player and loss of half the
dlstance to the offending teams goal
line) was so severe that officials would
be chary of calling 1t.
Layden also opposed the change in
the Kickoff rule which permits the
kickoff to be made with punt or drop-
kick, as well as place-kick, declaring
1t VIII have tendency to make teams
punt the ball short and high to retain
possession of it, exposing the receiver
to severe injuries
Warner Likes New Rules.
Glenn S. CPop) Warner of Stanford
favored all of the regulat one except
that calling for an automatic dead"
ball when any part of the ball car
rier's body, except his hands or feet,
touches the ground. He pointed out
that ball carrier could outdistance
all opposition in a dash to the goal
line and still lose a touchdown should
he happen to slip and fall.
Bernie Bierman, who branded the
rule changes mostly a bunch of
bunk" thought the dead" ball rule
was god one TITS one place" he
said, where they've got at the cause
of accidents"
Elimination of the flying block or
flying tackle will handicap the little
player, Hanley thought and j. j. Lipp.
a Big Ten official, said it was "going
to be hard to eall'' a violation of this
rule. Clark Shaughnessy of Loyola of
the South, favored elimination of the
flying tackle. but he thought the flying
block was the smaller players best
weapon.

A New Note in UnieS.

WASHINGTON teams, even
w since Clark Griffith
took charge two dec
AIDES ago, have had the repu-
tation of presenting as neat
an appearance on the field as
any of the 16 entrants in the
major leagues. This has been
due not alone to good taste IN
the selection of the contrasting
colorS of their uniforms, Sox
and caps, for games abroad as
we'll as at home, but to a
rigidly adhered to policy OF
keeping them clean, and utiliz-
ing a minimum of Identification
marks, the fronts of their shirts
being unencumbered, without
Nationals or Washington in
scribed in stud-horSe letters,
as is the case with most of the
other clubs.
Aside from an American
shield, utilized on the sleeves
back in the war days, or a neat
w on the cap, their Staying
garments have been unadorned,
but there is reason for believing
a new note will be struck when
they take the field for the
campaign inaugural here next
April II.
1t has been suggested, this
being Bicentennial year, and
everything, that the team rep
resenting the Capital of the
Nation, which was named Tor
the father of his country, take
cognizance of that fact and
serve to assist in attracting
visitors during the Summer
long celebration in a fitting
and effective manner.
So don't be surprised to see
an outline facsimile OF q.
Washington'S well known tea-
lures silhouetted in black
against the white flannel
sleeves of the Griffs' uniforms
in their diamond battles here
this wear.

Kocsis Aims Above Portner's
With Landes Alexandria Tonight Is Planned Prep
for Title Shot by Little Hungarian.
BY TOM DOERER-

the pro ranks brings Antol to the point
where he will have to NOW down COM
petition for Jimmy Bronson or show
the astute ring pilot that he has STEP
ped up as many rungS on the pugiliStic
ladder as he can go.
So tOnight's fight at Alexandria
will mean much to Bronson and
KOcsis and great deal more to the
fistic fans of the District and Vir-
ginia because they will witness
y0ungster making serious bid for
berth in a heavier division. If
AntOl does not far Outclass LanderS
then his chances of stepping for
ward are checked.
A NTOL is the most colorful scrapper
"a to come into this territory. At
l16 pounds he was one of Europe'S out
standing soccer players. He is a track
and field star and is the possessor of
many medals as a marathon runner.
KocslS has won fame and glory as a
skater and indulged in over 200 fistic
encounters as an amateur before Jimmy
Bronson enticed him to America.
KOcsts, according to Bronson, aUas
awarded the Hungarian Signum
LaudiS-eQuiDaIent to our Congress
Siond5 Medal of Honor-by his goU-
ernment for his clear-cut title Uic-
tory in the Amsterdam OIympicS OF
1928.
Bronson tells me that Antol is rar-
ing to get Whack at Al Browns banty
crown. So is Wolgast, no longer able
to safely make the f1yweight mark And
that is the reason, gentlemen, why
Wolgast, Kocsis and other small boys
to come, are heading toward Alexan-
dria, where they can prep for a heavier
division by trying their skill with Lam
ders and boys of his experience.
Alexandria may be a great trial
ground for the best. At least for
the moment, it is one of the best
little fight spots in this section of
the country, and the one site in
which boxing interest gradually is
improving.
