FAST BOUTS DUE
At PORTNERS

Some of the fastest milling
seen hereabout in weeks may be
expected Tuesday night when
Nick Antonelli, featherweight
pride of Patsy" Donovan'S
stable, shoots leather at KID
Cosden, Cordova, Md, speedster.
in one of the four eight-round
features of Day Nursery's boxing
at Portner's arena, Alexandria,
Va.
Returning to the ring after a
protracted layoff, Antonelli will
endeavor to smother Cosden with
a shower of gloves.
Pumping punches from all
angles and apparently without o
let-up, Antonelli made a pro-
nounced hit with Washington and
Alexandria fans earlier in the
season by decisively outclassing
Jim Tramberia, Maryland State
champion, in a pretty exhibition.
In encountering Cosden, An.
tonelli will be forced to out-Step
a clever and willing opponent.
Though young and on the up.

has mastered many of boxing'S
finer points and will be set to
make a fight of it from the open'

made his debut here over a week

He will have a more difficult

Freeman is no preliminary boy,

BASKETBALL
RACE HARD
TODOPE
BY GARRETT WATERS


There's no telling who will win
the interhigh school basketball
series championship now. 1t can
be Eastern, or Tech, or even Cen
tral and Business, following yes
terday's results at the Tech gym
naSium which ended play for the
first half.
Chief in Importance was Techs
decisive triumph over Eastern
which gained the Manual Trainers
tie with their rivals for the
coveted top position in the stand
ings. Next was Business victory
over Western, doing two things
bringing the Stenogs up to even
terms with Central for second
place and practically eliminating
Western from all contention.
Oh, Yes, the Scores
Tech defeated Eastern by a
32-to-26 count, while Business
triumphed over Western, 36 to 81,
to mention the scores.
Excellent, and accurate shoot
ing by Everett Russell, Waverly
Wheeler and Bernie ReichardJ,
coupled with the never-Say-die
fight put up by the entire team,
won for Tech over Eastern. The
youngsters wearing the gray were
out to win yesterday if they never
won again and the manner in
which they performed brought
this fact out every minute they
were on the floor.
The spirit and fine play Of
Eastern is not to be forgotten or
overlooked, however. Coach
Guyon's men played CALAMITY,
did their best, but lost because
they found they were up against
the most stubborn opposition of
the year. Bernie Lieb played
excellently for the Lincoln Park
ers. This lad fought until the
last ditch while Jack BayliSS, Al
Waters and Ben zola put up
games which were pleasing to
say the least.
Last Quarter Decides
Tech was on the long end Of an
8 to 4 lead at the end of the first
quarter, but found itself dead
locked at the intermission, II to
II. 1t was just as difficult dur
ing the third quarter as the
Manual Trainers we're barely
ahead, 18 to II at the whistle.
But the final quarter featured
by the work of Russell, Wheeler
and Reichardt put the Manual
Trainers in the van midway in
the period where they stayed for
the remainder of the way.
Business led most of the way
in it's game against Western.
That is, with the exception of
the third quarter when the
Georgetowners rallied to get
themselves a 81 to 26 lead by
whistle time. The sound of the
final gun found ''Woody's men"
ahead SO to 81, however, for a
well-deserved triumph. Huch Cav
anaugh was outstanding for the
StenogS while Latona, as usual,
was best for Western.

Ringing up 80 points, Bill
Burke was the whole show as
Central routed the Charlottes-

game at Central. The final score
was so to SO.
Burke counted IA baskets and
two foul shots for his total Of 80
points. It was the highest scor-

participated in this season.

Wants to Play Ball

Judge has got a contract and
he's satisfied with it, inciden-
tally. There is nothing in the
contract, which doesn't suit
him.
The only drawback is that con-
tracts do not carry clauses stat
ing whether a player is to be
first-string or utility performer,
and Judge is seeking a gentle
mans understanding with Griff
as to whether he's to adorn the
bench as he did three-fourthS
Of last year, or whether he can
sign with the feeling that all
other things being equal, he's
to be in there every day hold
ing down the first-base bag and
giving that infield the life and
spirit which he did for so long
as captain.
Judges position this: Like
most mortals, he is fighting off
the retirement age. Joe feels
he's still got lots of that old
pepper in his system and that
he's still a jump ahead of lot
of the major league first base
men of the current era.
If he can't play pretty much
every day here, he has other
baseball connections which he be-
neves he might make which will
give him an outlet for his
energy. If Griff would say
Judge is to be the teams first
string initial sacker, his con-
tract would be signed, sealed
and delivered before you could
say Jack Robinson, whoever
he was!

BABE IN BEST

or the year after, he will be
ready to pack in, but he is
Okay for 1882. never saw
Ruth looking as good at this
time of the year as he looks
right now"
Gentlemen, it is the sage Of
Broadway, otherwise Jack Doyle,
discussing the subject of Babe
Ruth and his contract battle
with the New York Yankees.
Doyle was off on a golfing jaunt
with the Bambino at st. AlbanS
the other day, and as a keen
student of athletes and condi-
ton, is qualified to speak from
knowledge.
Ruth weighed 226 pounds"
continued Jack, when he was
hitting all those home runs in
1921. He weighed 2S7 if he
weighed an ounce, and he
wasn't taking care of himself
as he is now.
"He hardly ever eats dessert
and all his food has to be
just SO. Why, you'd think he
was getting ready to fight
Dempsey.
81 wonder what records he
would have made If he had
always buckled down to train
ing as he has for the past
couple of years. Take the year
. of 1922, for instance. What q
terrible time he had that sum
men. He didn't take the game
seriously. Suppose, however,
that he had given the game
serious thought and worked like
he has for the past several
seasons. He probably would
have a dozen more hOme runs
to his credit, and all marks
would be higher.
"Did Ruth say anything
about Signing?"
"Never a word" came the
answer. "But why do you sup
pose Babe is training the way
he is? And why do you sup
pose the Yankees are keeping
mum about him? By keeping
quiet they are stimulating in
tereSt in the story. By work
ing hard Ruth is getting him-
self into condition for great
season. They will get together
all right, don't worry about
that. And they will both make
money.
"The fans will want Ruth
as long as he can play ball.
They will pay to see him."

Yea, it's a soft touch, being

tract was among The first to be
returned properly authenti-
Gated, the former feels he could
take up some other opportuni-
ties which the winter has pre-
sented wherein he would not
be so relegated to the limbo of
forgotten personages of the
game.
Being a 1O-year man, Judge
has certain liberties with re-
gpect to disposing of his own
services which men of less ex.
perience than himself do not
enjoy. He is at the turning
point in his baseball career
where the element of time is
important and his decision as
to the contract which now con-
fronts him can easily affect
his entire future.
That Judge is of managerial
caliber is undisputed. Many a
minor league team would be
fortunate to have such as him
at the helm of their club and
that Judge might step into
such a berth with it's training

yond the pale of possibility.

1 Japanese men, guns, and tanks pushed up to the Chapel front to. day to await zero hour for the biz offensive aimed to smash Chinese | positions held against marines and | aerial attacks.
 A sharp bombardment in the sector ended at midnight Monday and during the Hull, United States Minister Nelson T. Johnson visited the Japanese lines.
 While the 5000 Japanese of the crack ninth division were billeted in the Hongkew district or sent in- to the front lines, the Chinese dug in. The 18th Chinese route army national heroes because of their defense of Chapel, were cheered by the news that "Chiang Kaishek's 's Own" division had entrained at Ranking fully equipped and with it's own field guns.
 Many Japanese marines, weary after their long stretch of duty at Chapel and covered with mud from the trenches. stayed in their posi- tions to help the ninth division move men and guns into the line. The marines were officially "re- 1ieved' when the fresh troops ar- rived.
 The Woosung area, where Japa- nese warships bombarded the an- cient Chinese forts and sent a party across Wosung creek with out capturing the Qualifications, was quiet except for occasional gunfire or minor skirmishes. The Japanese had sent most of their men from that area into Chapel.
 American Minister Johnson when he inspected the Japanese front lines, saw men of the ninth division relieving marines for the offensive threatened unless Chi nese withdraw from Shanghai, "the further the better" as Lieu tenant General Kenkichi Uyeda put 1t.
 Johnson was escorted by a mem- Der of the staff of the Japanese naval commander, Vice Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura. Only desul- tory rifle firing was in progress.
 Before Johnson went to the front, Japanese troops at the rifle range in the Hongkew area had opened fire on Chinese concentra- tions at Kiangwan. No advances were attempted.

 The two outstanding issues re- mained unsettled to-day between the United States and Japan:
 CD The attack by Japanese civilian volunteers on Vice Consul Arthur Ringwalt.
 (2) The landing of Japanese soldiers in the international settle- ment, constituting its use as a military base. Both violations were protested by Cunningham. It was intimated to-day in dip- lomatic circles that France and Italy may also protest the use oi the international settlement as e military base. Great Britain al- ready has done 50.
 It is yet uncertain whether Sec retary Stimson will instruct Ann bassador Forbes at Tokio to pro- test these cases directly to For eign Minister Yoshizawa. Both were discussed informally by Stim- son with Ambassador Debuchi late yesterday.
 With regard to the Ringwalt case, Stimson was said to be await ing further information before taking any definite action. American assurances of support were given the league in & very informal way. Hugh wilson, min ister to Switzerland, talked with league members about the Ameri- can attitude. Also, Stimson made clear this country's position in tel ephonic conversations with Sir John Smon, British foreign minis ter, when the latter was in Gen. eva.
 It was emphasized in the conver- sations that the United States. not a league member, must act inde- pendently through its own diplo- matic representatives and not un- der the aegis of the league. Officials here believe the league council, being familiar with this attitude, will not invite an Ameri- can representative to attend it's meetings on the far eastern situa tion. If an invitation should be extended, it was indicated, the United States would find it impos- sible to accept.
 Geneva, Feb 16 - (UP)-The League of Nations council decided to-day to address a final appeal to Japan to cease hostilities at Shang- hal.
 The decision was announced af- ter a two-hour secret session of the council of 12, without Chinese or Japanese representation. The council decided not to deal with the Chinese demand for a spe- cial convocation of the league as- sembly until Japan replies to the latest appeal to cease hostilities. A drafting committee of three was chosen to formulate the ap- peal. They were to begin their work to-day and report to the council.
