GALLAGHER SHOOTS"
FOR DEMPSEY MATCH
Impressive Win Over Weiner at
Alexandria Might Mean Bout
With Ex-Champion.

Marty Gallagher, Washington's lead
ing bid for heavyweight boxing recog-
milton, is an exceptionally busy young
man nowadays.
Tomorrow night in Alexandria Gal
lagher is to do battle with Herman
Weiner And in the event he scores
impressively, word from Boston has it
Marty may be one of the opponents Sc
lected to oppose Jack Dempsey in a
series of four-round bouts when the old
Manassa mau1er heads East within two
weeks.
Dan Carroll, Martyrs manager, who
resides in Boston, Is making every eff
fort to close the Dempsey meeting for
Gallagher.
Appreciative Of what the future holds
in store for him, Gallagher may be
found daily jogging three miles through
Rock Creek Park. Too, he spends
much Of his time on his favorite mount,
Easy, and occasionally takes time out
to frolic with his pet raccoons, Chico
and Lulu.
A great admirer Of animals, Gal
lagher is immensely proud of these pets
and exhibits them on every possible &C.
caSion.
Among those who are certain Uncle
Marty eventually will climb to the peak
of his chosen profession, is small
army Of nieces and nephews, nine in
all, who frequently are favored with
musical compositions from Gallagher's
ukulele.

PETR0LLE HURDLE
FOR RAN TO CLEAR
Weller LaureIs Aspirant
Meets Boxer Noted for
Hating HopefuIs.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
n yEW YORK, January 10. - Just
N when a young welterweight
v seems to be going somewhere
they trot out Billy Petrolle
and that's the end of that.
The Fargo veteran, perhaps the
hardest puncher for his weight in mod
ern boxing, seems to have become the
official "spoiler" of promising prospects.
First there was Justo Suarez, the
Argentine slugger. He piled up a
string of impressive wins in this coun-
try, but ran foul Of Petrolles devastat-
ing punching power in the ninth round
of a 1O-round bout here last Summer.
Then Billy Townsend, the Vancouver
Flash. seemed headed toward the
heights until Petrolle parked him on
the floor for the full count in Madison
Square Garden last month.
Now it's Eddie Ran. the Polish star,
who can hit and hit hard with either
hand. Ran outpointed the highly
touted Importation from Czechoslovakia,
Franta Nekolny, and knocked out jim
nv Mcnamara in round in his last
two starts, so they've matched him with
Petrolle at the Garden this Friday
night.
Ages Like Wine.
Billy has been around for a good
many years, but he seems to improve
with age. He should be a 3-to-1 IA
vorite over Ran for the Pole is only a
youngster and apparently lacks the ex-
perience necessary to cope with Petrolle.
The Fargo veteran is willing to take
two punches almost any time to get IN
ono of his own. Jimmy McLarnin's
powerful punching couldn't put him on
the floor.
All in all, it looks like bad match
for Ran. although it's an opportunity
for him to crash through to fame.
Philadelphia starts the fistic enter
tainment for the week tonight with
1G-round match between Tony Can
zoneri and Johnny Jadick Of Philadel-
phia. Canzoneri, lightweight and 1u-
nior welterweight champion OF the
world, will defend the latter title
against Jadick.

UNBEATABLE WHEN
HOT ON PIN DRIVES
Eight D. c. Men Have Chance
to Catch 0rioIe Ace in
Campbell Stake.
BY FRANCIS e. STAN.

n TO more feared bowler in
M Baltimore, since the Monu-
l. mental City must have 4
finger in Washington's
prize pin plum, could be found to
lead the Howell Campbell Sweep
stakes than Ed Blakeney, who will
be one stick ahead of Johnny An
derson when the final block is
rolled Saturday night at Conven-
ton Hall.
Not even Ray Barnes, Balti-
more's United States Sweepstakes
champion, would be more unwel-
come at the top of the heap than
Blakeney, an unbeatable bowler
when "hot," to take the word of
half a dozen pinmen who eX-
pressed opinions on the current
big-cash classic.
1t is Blakeney's inconsistency that
has local pinmen, eyes glued on that
$500 first prize, all hot and bothered
They feel they would have much bet
ter chance to beat out the Oriole ace if
he was more consistent and less bril-
liant. AS one of them remarked last
Saturday following Blakeney's 687 set
at the Rendezvous: Eds bad man to
have on top. II he was more consist
ent we'd have chance to get hot
ourselves and overtake him. Blake
ney's either hot or cold II he's hot
there's no use trying to catch him"
Although out in front, Blakeney al
ready has shown that brilliant incon-
sistency for which he is noted. In the
first block he rolled $50 and was
twenty-first in the standing. Last Sat-
urday he spilled nearly 100 more
NAPLES and jumped from No. 81 to
No. l.
DUT tough as Baltimores Mr.. Blake
ID ney may be, there is no getting
around the fact that some of the
National Capitals boys haven't done so
bad either. and about eight of 'em are
riding in nice spots, notably Paul Har-
rison, Johnny Anderson, Bradley Mand-
ley, Earl McPhilomy, Louis Pantos,
Ollie Pacini, Max Rosenberg and
Hokie Smith
Johnny Anderson, youngster with
a struggling but effective motion, Is
only a stick behind Blakeney and in
view of his work so far-622 and 654-
may walk away with the dough with
out surprising lot of folks.
HENRY HISER, No. ranking Dis
L l. trict bowler, may have been OBJ
served in last place with 1925,
but Henry Is not in shape for any
amount of bowling.

TEACHING At NIGHT |
NOT OUTSIDE Job
BaIIou Leaves Evening
School Work Off List Given
to Auditor.

Night school teaching in the system
does not constitute outside employ
ment" for District of Columbia public
school day teachers, it was brought out
during the recent hearings before the
House Subcommittee for the District
on the 1888 appropriation bill.
In response to questions by Repre-
sentative william p Holiday Of Illinois
asking Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, whether he had yet
listed the school system employees who
are engaged in outside work." DR..
Bollou replied he had provided that in
formation to District Auditor Donovan.
He pointed out, however, he did not
include In the list the day school
teachers who teach also at night.
DR.. Ballou told the committee public
school teachers are engaged, "for in
stance, in choirs as singers in churches;
they are engaged in private tuition of
pupils who come to them and activities
of that sort"
"The exception" DR.. Ballou explained.
''is this: That the question was asked
as to teachers engaged in outside re-
munerative occupations. We do not
consider that evening schools are out
side the school system. They are with
in the school system"
Ballou added that the school author
tiles assumed the inquiring members
of Congress were concerned with the
engagement of people in occupations
that would bring them remuneration
outside of public funds, and that is the
basis on which we made our reply" Mr..
Holiday said he would not consider
day school teachers who worked in the
evening classes within the school system
as coming within the request.
