Broad Powers Outlined.
The Commissioners would be given
broad and definite powers OF regulation
over the licensed liquor traffic, under
the proposed bill. This would include
power to designate distances from
schools, churches and Government in
stitutionS within which areas sales OF
. liouor might be barred They also would
have power to ban sales during certain
hours or during public emergencies
The measure is INTENDED TO prevent
4 return Of the old-time saloon, since
liquor could be sold for consumption on
the premises only in restaurants, hotels
and private clubs, and then only to per-
sons seated at tables, with certain ex-
ceptions in the cases OF registered
guests at hotels or members OF private
clubs.
The measure contains modified plan
for neighborhood local option" for sec
tiOns of the city generally residential In
character. This is regarded as an i'm
portant. feature of the proposed license
plan but it would not apply to the large
downtown business section.
Could BLOCK Licenses.
II the owners of 81 per cent OF the
property within certain radius OF an
establishment for which a liquor-sell-
ing license is requested filed formal pro-
test with the Commissioners, a license
could not be granted. If the owners Of
less than a majority of the property
protested, the Commissioners would not
be required to issue a license, the matter
in such cases to be left to the discre-
tion of the Control Board, acting under
the Commissioners.
Under this plan the Commissioners
would cast the decision for Government
owned properties. Owners Of CONNER
cial property automatically would be
recorded as asserting to proposed IL
cense. The Commissioners have In
mind q radius OF 900 feet from pro-
posed liQuor-selling establishment, un-
der the local option" rule. but this
point has not been determined def
nitely.
Would Grant Hearings.
Z The bill would require official pub
lication of notice of each application
for a license at least once week for
two weeks prior to action on the appli-
cation and If any protest was filed, the
commissioners would grant a hearing
The measure contains stringent rule
for search and seizure affecting illicit
liquor establishments. Oh1cials regard
ed this as essential as a weapon against
,bootleggers. speakeasies and revenue
evaders. A Police Court judge or q
United States commissioner, on find
ing of probable cause" could issue a
warrant for a search. Police would be
empowered to break into an unlicensed
place selling liquor. There would be
specific penalty for any attempt to OBJ
struct the work of such an officer.

The big shot in the N. r. A. now is

he gets no publicity. The reason Is that
there seems to be much less interest in

Also Davis Is no headline maker. You

To STRIVE
FOR KAYO

NEW YORK, June Max
Baer, who squares off with Max
Schmeling tomorrow night, is an
uncertain individual at best. It's
hard to say when he's clowning
and when he's in earnest. 1t is
not even certain that he's the
100 per cent Jewish he claims.
The only thing sure about him
is that, physically, he's perfect;
mentally, he's something less than
a genius, and esthetically, he
leaves something to be desired.
Baer is bigger, faster, stronger
and younger than Schmeling. He
can take it till the debS come
homeland they come in very
late, indeed-and he can hand it
out about as hard as anybody in
the ring today. He's bubbling
over with confidence-no mean
asset in itself-and possessing all
these attributes he must be rated
better than a 2-to-1 shot.
Baer's best chance is by a
knockout. One gathers the i'm
preston from Baer himself that
he believes his only chance to
win is by a kayo, and he seems to
think if the fight goes the limit,
Schmeling may get the decision.

GR|D|RON GREAT
GRADUATES
FROM 6. v.
BY HARRY COSTELLO


George Washington University
this week bids farewell to John
Fenlon, greatest gridiron player
in the history of the university.
When John leaves the Colonial
School he will take with him a
gold medal indicative of the fact
that he has been not only a great
athlete, but a student leader as
well. Last night he was awarded
the Delta Tau Delta gold medal,
annually given to the student
who, throughout his or her col
lege career, accomplished the
most constructive work in stu
,, dent activities.
Fenlon, grid star if there
ever was one, had the greatest
of all athletic assets, flaming
competitive spirit. When the go
ing became heaviest he was at his
best. Fast, shifty, courageous, a
thinker, he gained the respect
of his opponents by his superior
play. However, more than any
other characteristic the one which
stood out in him was his pen
chant for playing the game" He
ranks as one of the cleanest play
ers ever to trod a gridiron.
Nine Others Lost
Nine other athletes, who have
aided in placing G. w. in a
prominent spot in the ir1tercol-
legiate athletic sun, pass out of
the Colonial athletic picture this
week. OF the nine, seven were
football players, six of them mem
bers Of the 1882 G. w. squad,
which, all things considered,
established a new record for
Colonial elevens to shoot at.
The grid players lost to the
ColonialS by graduation are Jo-
seph Carter, Fulton, Mo-; back
field; Robert Galloway, Monnet,
Mo-, end; Arthur Kriemelmeyer,
Washington, D. c., fullback; Fred
Mulvey, East Providence, r. l.,
end; Wayne Chambers, Com
merce, Okla, end; Ras. Nielsen,
Duluth, Mimi, tackle, and Marion
Hale, Grand View, Tex, tackle.
Hale was not a member of the
1882 grid team. He finished his
athletic career at G. w. a year
ago.
Won Seven Letters
Fenlon is a seven-letter man.
He won three in football, three in
basketball and one in baseball.
Had G. w. a baseball team before
last season, John would have
made it nine instead of seven.
Chambers and Galloway par
ticipated in basketball as we'll as
football. Mulvey also won letters
in these sports. as we'll as in base
ball.
Two other athletes, both valu.
able as basketball players, also
graduate this week. They are
Forrest Burgess and Arthur zahn.
The former has been outstanding
as a forward, the latter as a
guard.

is thinking all the time; knows
how to gait himself and possesses
the art of cutting down" an op'
ponent once the opportunity pre-
sentS itself.
Emphasizes Punch
Those who like Baer in the fight
emphasize two things: his punch
and his magnificent physique.
They point out he can hit terrific
blows with either hand. And he
can take it," Baer is willing to
take two or three blows to de-
liver one. Whether this will be a
good policy in dealing with
Schmeling remains to be seen.
Baer also has sublime courage
and can be counted upon to "Shoot
the works." if necessary. If any
gambling is done with the ropes,
the consensus is it will be done
by the debonair and rather reck-
less Baer.
No bout without the champion
ship tag promises more in the way
Of spectacular action and color
than this brawl tomorrow night
between Schmeling and Baer.
The Washington times., 1933-06-07

The only important fighter
that ever stayed punched under
his hammering was poor Ernie
Schaaf, if we recall correctly.
Loughran stood up before
Baer and scored frequently and
Schaaf did it in his first meet
ing with California Max. In
80 rounds of boxing with Levin
sky, Baer never had the king
fish on the floor and Baer made
little or no impression on
Pauline, whom Make nearly
tore in ribbons.
Therefore, on form, which is
the only known means of fore
casting a fight, one would have
to be sanguine, indeed, to make
Baer the favorite, yet, he may
do it. He has courage, tough
ness, high resolve and a wallop,
which, when coordinating, are
Invaluable. He'll be no push
over, yet he hardly looks ripe
enough for the likes of Schmel-
ing.

Schmeling No Rabbit

Now, to follow along this line
Of thought, if you think Maxi
milan Schmeling, Of Berlin and
way stations, is a rabbit in the
ring who covers and slouches
and holds his ears back lest
they get knocked down, then
you have never seen him in any
of his comparatively few major
engagements on these shores.
= 'hmeling, besides being a
thoughtful, careful. methodical
menace in those fighting togs,
is also about as courageous a
one as the modern game has
produced. If he knows how to
back up an inch or even a frac-
ton thereof then he has con-
cealed the fact from this OBJ
server on at least four differ.
ent occasions, against Pauline,
Stribling, Sharkey and Walker.
In this fight tomorrow night,
Baer "is getting his biggest
chance since he took up the
sport out yonder around Liver
more, Calf, and naturally the
onuS is on him.
He must come to Schmeling
and everyone who heretofore
has come to Schmeling has
taken plenty Of punishment for
his trouble. Even the Shifty
Sharkey, who hit and ran away,
missed getting away on about
three occasions and had
black eye and a bad cheek to
show for it.

.MACKMEN FACE
|. CRUCIAL TEST
THIS WEEK
(By a Staff Correspondent


PHILADELPHIA, June Phil
adelphia fans have labeled this
week the crucial period of the
season for the AS because Of
games scheduled with the WASH
ington Griffmen and New York
Yankees.
The teams chances for con-
tinuing in the pennant scramble
lies in what they can accomplish
against these clubs, the fans say,
and it is rightly so.
But right here the GriffS be-
lieve they can voice an argument.
They don't want to alibi, but they
think that the AS cannot only
help themselves, but the pennant
race as we'll, by turning in at
least two victories over the YankS
in the series which Connie Macks
men begin with the Mccarthy.
men tomorrow.
So far, the Griffs argue, they
have not received bit OF help
from the AS this season in the
important matter of registering
triumphs over the Yankees. In
fact, the Griffs have had to do
it all in the East while the best
the West has been able to do Is
eight victories in something like
% games.
AS Must Help
Therefore, Manager Cron1n's
men contend, the Yanks will be
many games out in front by July
4 if some of the other clubs in the
circuit, particularly the AS, don't
come to the rescue and help turn
in triumphs, which will mean so
much to not only the winners in
volved but the league as we'll.
The AS and Yanks have met
each other eight times this season
and in every instance the Yanks
have finished on the long end OF
the score. A sorroWful showing
from a Philadelphia standpoint,
particularly when Connie Mack's
men have been considered one Of
the powers Of this years pennant
scramble.
However, it's happened, and the
only thing that can be done about
it now is try for revenge, which
the AS earnestly hope to get d r.
ing their remaining games with
their powerful foes this season:
The Griffs will be one team who'll
be pulling for Connie Mack's men
at every turn.
In the meantime, Cronin's boys
will be out to take advantage OF
every break that comes their way
in the future. For example, thelr
latest chance to gain a little
ground providing the AS beat the
Yanks, will arrive in the Boston
Red Sox series which they'll start
tomorrow at Boston.
Jack Russell to Start
True, the Sox have given them
plenty of trouble this year, but
the Griffs believe that With a
new turn in the breaks, such as
better pitching and that eager
ness to "put the Sox in their
place." they'll win their share OF
contests against the McManus
men if not all of them.
A doubleheader will open this
set against the SoX tomorrow
Jack Russell will get the call IN
one of the games while Alphonse
Thomas will pitch the other.
