Need For Money?

Why then, do the amateurs
wish to charge admission to
their shows if indeed they are
amateur in their hearts and
minds and actions?
Certainly these public-spirited
folks who spoke in behalf of the
measure, most of them identi-
fled in one way or another with
sports and most of them earning
their livelihood in one way or
another through sports, could Sc
cure trophies and medals and
boxing equipment through the
good offices of their, very sports
contacts, to permit these anna
teurS to exercise their love for
the manly art.
Certainly many of the organi-
cations who had their personnel
In attendance, own gymnasiums,
auditoriums and Stadia wherein
the amateurs might sock each
other to their hearts content,
thereby eliminating the item of
rent.
So what could these anna
teurS do with this money which
the bill would authorize them
to collect at the gate?
What could they possibly do
with this money?
Why, of course, give it to the
bonus marcherS!

Boxing Not Illegal

OF policemen looking on and
not a single minion of the law
interfering. 1t was perfectly
legal. No admission was charged
and no boxer nor official was

HUGE TURNOUT

The largest boxing turnout
Washington has ever seen wit
messed the most brilliant aggrega'
ton of boxing talent ever assem-
bled hereabout at the Griffith Sta
dunn last night, for the benefit
of the bonus seekers.
The crowd was estimated as be-
tween $4,000 and 10000, and it
was treated to % sizzling bouts. 13
professional ones, and 10 anna
teurS. The whole spectacle required
four hours, and was checked full
of interest and color every minute.
Only $4,000 was collected but
this wasn't such a bad return con-
sidering everything. The collect
ing job was only half done, the
collectors being far too few for the
enormous crowd.
Also a large percentage of those
who made UP the huge attendance

might crash through with a win
ming streak similar to one of last
year when they made their first
trek through the Western sector.
It will be remembered Manager
Johnson's gang did themselves
proud on this particular journey
as nine games were won against
only two lost in II played.
Hold Same Hopes
OF course they returned home
right in the thick of the fight
for the old gonfalon. Now, the
Griffs hold the sames hopes and
ideas-that of returning to Wash,
ington once more in the thick Of
things for the pennant.
A winning streak (and it's not
impossible) will do this little
thing. And it would not only
bring Manager Johnson and his
gang back into the first place
struggle, but the many triumphs
would boost the teams stock
where it has been pretty low of
late because of recent losses.
Whether the Griffs get going or
not on this trip remains to be
seen. But games like yesterday
when the Chi Sox nosed out, 3 to
2, by virtue of ninth-inning rally
must not be played if the above
mentioned winning idea is to be
carried out.
Indications point, however, that
Johnson's gang are going to get
better breaks in the contests from
now on. The spirit of the team
is livelier than it has been in the
last two weeks, while the pitching
and hitting from every man is
stronger.

Profit Making Law

The answer is, my friends,
that in every State where anna
teur fighting is now permissible,
clubs and organizations sprout
up to use it as a source of
revenue anG often to taint boys
who mean we'll but who are
easily lead astray by conscious
less hackers of clubs.
Too, such legislation would
be discriminatory in that it
would let one group charge ad-
mission and make a profit on
boxing, not available to the
professional group. If we a.
to charge admission for box
ing in Washington, there is a
bill in Congress now embr, g
both amateur and professional
boX1ng-and good, sound,
safe bill not intended to fool
the church people or the So
called moralists the bill drawn
up and introduced some months
ago by Congressman Loring
Black of New York.

can't stand around and cry
about them. Bobby Burke
pitched a whale of a game
and it was just too bad that
he had to lose it in the ninth
after he had turned in such
eight strong innings. All we
can do now is to go out and
fight for our remaining games
in the idea of returning home
with a cOmmendable record for
the trip"
Burke, for a fact, hurled beau
tifully for eight innings yester-
day. But it must have been too
much for him as the ninth tells
the tale. Still there's the con-
ISOLATION left that his efforts
might be the start of new
streak-a streak which would not
only help his own cause, but his
clubs at this time.
This, however, remains to be
seen as Bobby has been too un-
certain during his career to
figure that he has arrived" at

Standing on the seventeenth
tee, Harvey needed two pars fol
a 70. He sliced his tee shot
almost to the fence, leaving him
in a difficult position. Twixt
him and the towering green was
a yawning trap and it was
necessary that he play a high
pitch shot.
There was also danger of 60

took the risk, the ball coming
to rest by the fourteenth tee
He Clipped on successfully, but
not close enough to get his

Dick Lunn, youthful golfer

There is absolutely nothing in
the District code to prevent
these amateurs from staging all
the boxing they wish. The law
isn't against boxing Of any type.
It is against charging admission
or paying the boxers.
1t is equally inconceivable
that the amateur proponents Of
the District of Columbia who
are supporting the bill and who
testified in it's behalf would
even think of paying one of
their fighters, just as it is incon-
ceivable that one of their fight

BANKERS URGED
To ADVERTISE
POLICIES

HOT SPRINGS Va, June 10.
Characterizing banks as the great
est bulwark of public confidence,
Merle Thorpe, editor of Nations
Business, today asserted in an ad.
dress before the District Bankers
Association annual convention
that the banker must at all times
have before him the fact that
his first responsibility is to de-
poSitors.
Defending bankers against the
charge that they are not lending
freely enough, he said:
"Criticism of the banks Is
really criticism Of the public
state of mind. An unreasOning
fear rules the public, and banks
are, and must be sensitive to
the public state Of mind"
Urges Advertising
He declared that if he were a
banker today and accused OF
boarding he would set out to
clear up the misapprehension and
misunderstanding of a banks
proper functions. He explained:
81 would US advertising space,
I would clear up the mystery Of
banking"
Asserting that a bank is as
necessary to a community as re-
taller. or a railroad, or a manu-
facturer, he continued:
"Nine out Of ten of the mil.
lions of business transactions
carried on daily in the United
States are done on credit. This
is the age of credit. Credit is
simply confidence. A bank is
the highest development of this
credit and confidence in the
community.
"CitiZeIis who are lOng-sighted
In thinking of their community
should help to keep their bank
in a strong position by refusing
to repeat idle rumOrS as to its
condition, by cooperating with
it in conserving and developing
sOundIy the cOmmunity'S credit
facilities"
King Bill Condemned
Bitter opposition to the King
bill to regulate foreclosures in
the District of Columbia was
voiced by the association. Fran
els G. Addison, chairman law
and legislative committee, was
instructed to ask a hearing be-
fore District Committee Of House
in opposition. It was charged
the bill will operate detrimentally
to small home owners in financ-
ing home buying, will increase
mortgage loan difficulties, add to
cost and restrict sale of homes
on small down payments and
installments.
