SEEK EIGHTH
STRAIGHT
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Following a dark-houSe night
last night, intercollegiate athlet-
les involving local teams tonight
start a three day stand which cul-
inmates Saturday night by reach
ing peak Of ACTIVITY for the week.
Basketball fans tonight will
see a resumption of floor cam
pa1gnS on two fronts, Washing
ton and Annapolis. George
Washington University's giant Co
lonials, with seven straight wins
to their credit, run into high
class competition tonight when
they meet the five representing
Loyola of Baltimore in G.. WIS
gym. American University meets
Lynchburg Colleges baSketerS in
the formers gym, and Maryland'S
Old Liners, now playing superbly,
clash with the five representing
st. Johns of Annapolis, in Crab
town.
Interesting Fray Looms
The G. W.-Loyola game tonight
looms as medium through
which comparisons may be made,
although comparisons in athletics
mean little. The visiting team
lost decision to Catholic Uni
versity by a single point, while
C. U. in turn defeated Maryland.
The Colonials will be out to
make it eight in row and 13
victories out of II starts this
season to date. If G.. w. can win
tonight's game and can win over
st. Johns, of Annapolis, Satur-
day night, it means that the
ColonialS will enter the New
York tournament in Madison
Square Garden with an enviable
record Of having won 10 straight
games and IA out of 18 games
played this season. This record
probably will be unequaled by
any of the contesting teams in
the big New York event, compe-
tition in which is a signal honor
for the George Washington Uni
verSity.
G. w. Favored
G. w. previously has won over
both Loyola and St. Johns and
is favored to again register vic
tories over the same two teams.
At Baltimore G. w. won over
Loyola, SIS to Al, with the regu-
lars playing only two-thirds Of
the contest. Subsequently Loyola
won over Georgetown by a 10
point margin and has improved
considerably, judging by recent
performances. At Annapolis G.
w. took a decision from st.
Johns, the final count being
53-32.

Besides his pugilistic and
theatrical background, Jim
Corbett dabbled a bit into
baseball. He loved to get
out on the lot with the
local fire department lad
dies at his Long Island
suburban home and take
his turn at the bat. Note
in the above photograph
the splendid physical con-
dition he was in IL years
ago at the age of IS.
At the right Corbett is
shown when visiting Bur-
bank, Calf, in 1919. The
unshaven character in the
farm machine is none other
than Jim Jeffries, who de-
feated Bob Fitzsimmons af-
ter Fitz had lifted the
crown from Corbett. Cor
bett and Jeffries fought in
1908, the former being
stopped in 10 rounds.

NEW
CHAIR MAN
IN 2 WIFFKS
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK. Feo. 16.-Mad-
ison Square Garden may sub
let it's share of the random un-
happiness and heartbreak that
not only goes with boxing, but
seems to stay with it.
Already weakening on the busi-
ness as a source of artistic and
economic comfort, even before re-
cent events cast grim shadows
across the situation, it has been
sickened by the Schaaf tragedy
and is more than willing, at
least at this time, to let some
body else buy into what suffer
ing it now may, have left over
from the last few days.
Somewhat of Concession
This will be done, if at all,
somewhat on a concession basis,
not necessarily to the highest
bidder but to the most worthy.
The latter could be nobody else
but James J. Johnston. AS a
possible bidder, he holds a con-
tract, calling for him to work
for and take money from Mad
ison Square Garden, which is
liable to make all others auto
matically unworthy and, in fact,
superfluous and nonexistent.
This, it is understood today.
Is only one of several avenues of
escape for the shocked and dis
trait directorate at the Garden.
Another would "Wash-Sale" the
Carnera Sharkey championship
fight to the Boston Garden, with
Braves Field as its locale, but I
believe the tendency is against
this.
The gentlemen, in fact, would
prefer to shift the problem and
all of it's local aspects to Mr..
Johnston, the we'll known
smoother out of local problems.
The only thing they do not wish
to shift is a goodly share of the
receipts, provided it turns out
that, the boxing commissions
edict to the contrary, the Car
nera-Sharkey fight can be held
at the Garden Bowl in Long
Island City.
May EmbarraSs MuldOOn
At the moment, the fight can
not be held there, owing to the
fact that William Muldoon has
decided that Camera may fight
only men standing at least 6 feet
2 inches in height and weighing
no less than 22O pounds. But
at the moment the new chair
man of the boxing commission
has not been named and won't
be for two weeks. They will
name him shortly before James
A. Farley seats himself with
President Roosevelt's official
family in Washington. But the
naming of the man is triviality
because happen to know it now.
also happen to suspect that
when he takes charge anything
that William Muldoon may have
done in connection with heavy
weight boxing can be undone
with a minimum of annoyance
to all concerned, except maybe
William Muldoon.

Stone Proving
Self Golf
Z ealot
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Local golf boasts many zealots,
but perhaps none more imbued in
the, anne than William r. Stone,
who holds membership in the In
dian Spring and Congressional
Country Clubs.
Adopting the game 18 months
ago; he has progressed rapidly
and generally takes part in any
spirited debate that deals with
the intricacies of the game. These
might be the grip, stance, swing,
etc.
Always in Discussions
A discussion might arise as to
the cause of hooking, slicing and
other kindred ailments, and Mr..
Stone can be found in the midst
of it.
He comes by it all quite natu-
rally. He averages five days a
week on the course, this routine
interrupted only when snow
mantles the course. In that case,
he remains in the golf shop or
clubhouse and exchanges opinions.
He also avidly reads books on the
game.
Scores Under 80
Last year, he couldn't break
100. Now. he's dissatisfied when
ever going above IS and is striv,
ing to bring his score under 80.
A few days, he turned in II, CIV
ing impetus to his aims.

Harding and Baseball

President Harding was as
genuine a fan as has ever been
in the White House. Like Mr..
Taft, Mr.. Harding not only
knew the plays, but many Of
the players and was able to
keep a very legible box score.
The Marion, Ohio, politician
owned the home town team and
started Wilbur Cooper on his
way to the Pirates.
AS between Mr.. Coolidge and
Mrs. Coolidge, the latter was
the more spirited baseball fan,
but the late President attempted
to lend himself to the game and
his cooperation in gracing the
local park on frequent occasions
is highly treasured by people
both in the game and out Of it.

When Mr.. Roosevelt last held
high office in washington, he
went for" baseball in a large
