SET
AGAINST RING

An ordnance which would have
permitted the holding of anna
teur" boxing exhibitions in
Arlington county was defeated
today by a vote of 8 to 2 at a
meeting of the county commits
sioners at Arlington Court House.
Those voting for the ordnance
were Commissioners Lyman Kelley
and Harry A. Fellows.
Amendments to the original
ordnance setting up age limits of
participants and also providing
that the ticket tax be delivered
to the county commissioners in
stead of the welfare department
as originally provided was intro
duced by Commissioner John
Gall.
County Manager Roy S. Braden
said that he intended if the ord
nance were enacted to strictly en-
force it's amateur status. Sheriff
Howard B. Fields said that it
would be a futile gesture" to
pass the ordinance because of
the many riders upon it. Com
missioner Fred Gosnell in ex-
planning his negative vote said
he could not vote for an ordi-
nance which might develop illegal
practices although he admired
boxing.
Killing of the ordnance ended
a fight of more than a year con-
Quoted by various organizations

majority of organizations in the
northern Virginia county had IA

their end of the eighth when
Kuhel singled, Manush Sacri-
ficed. and Cronin singled-send-
ing Kuhel across the pan.
Then came the Yankees ninth.
Crosetti, first up, walked. Van
Alta sacrificed. This put it up
to Combs, who delivered with a
bounding single to center.
Luke Sewell doubled in the
Griffs' ninth after two were out,
and it looked as if the game might
be snatched out of the fire again,
But all Fred Schultz, up for White
hill, could do was lift a pop foul
to Joe Sewell, and the game was
over.
Trainer Mike Martin was banned
during the eighth for voicing too
strongly his views of Umpire
Owens decision on Gehrig's home
run. Yep, it's a three-day suS-
pension for Mike, who gets the
same dose as players when his
conduct on the ball field is figured
off color by the umpire -inchief.

have filtered into the offices OF
William Harridge, league prexy.

Up In Arms
Needless to say, the Griffs are
terribly up in arms about Owens
almost unbelievable decision OF
yesterday. And not only that, but
thousands of fans, who were lit
orally struck dumb when the UNI
pire ruled Gehrig's foul fair
ball, are also up in arms; in fact,
so much that several petitions
have been sent to President Har-
ridge stating the fans views that
the drive which went over the right
field fence was foul by yards
not feet!
If Owens had been known to
have experienced "bad days" IN
the past, his efforts of yeserday
were his worst. He started off
on the wrong foot as early as the
first inning when he pecked away

 Doorn, Jan 3i.-(UD-Former former crown prince, received Adolf Hitler's appointment hs German chancellor with satisfac- ton, Wilhelm believing that Hit Tor will be able to maintain law and order, lt was made known to-day.
 The question of Wilhelm's return to Germany remained unsettled. Ho will not return, however, unless he receives an invitation from the German government, 1t was said. It was pointed out that the question rests not only with Hitler, but also with influential centrists who have opposed Wllhelm's return. Wilhelm has resumed wood chop. ping for exercise and is in excel lent health. The crown prince has had cold for several days but hoped to be able to leave for Ber- 1 lin to-day. Relations between father and son appeared to be cor dial.
 Officials at Doorn house denied reports that Prince Henry had started for Germany with an auto mobile load of the cx-kaisers' bag gage. The rumor was believed to have originated after an auto mobile was seen entering and then leaving the grounds. A represen. tative of the Queen of Holland brought Wilhelm q floral birthday tribute in the automobile, members of Wilhelm's staff said.
