HOPES FOR AMATEUR
FIGHTS HERE BRIGHT
Walsh Bill, Passed by Senate, Is
Due to Reach House Monday.
Pro Bouts Hit Snag.

HoPEs of amateur boxing devotees
of Washington were soaring to-
day following passage Of the
Walsh bill, designed to legalize anna
teur boxing in the District, yesterday
in the Senate. The measure passed
by unanimous consent and is expected
to 60 before the House Monday.
Passage of the Walsh measure, iden-
tical to the bill introduced before the
House by Representative Fred Hart
ley of New Jersey, was a blow to
proponents of professional boxing, who
had been looking forward eagerly
to action on the pro measure intro
duced by Representative Loring Black
of New York. The Walsh measure
contains restrictions against profess
sional boxing, but the House District
Committee has granted Representa-
tive Black permission to go into a
huddle with Representative Hartley
in an effort to overcome the conflict
ing clauses and amend the bill They
are expected to confer this week and
present both the amended Black bill
and the Hartley bill before the House
on Monday.
According to the Black measure, at
the present time no boy under 18
years of age would be permitted to
participate in a boxing match and
| children under 16 would not be al
lowed to witness fights. The amateur
bill allows boxing for boys of 8 years
and over.

contingent. Coach Jack Harmony and
Manager Jim Crotty are to accom-
pany the team.
Maryland also is to have several
representatives at the annual meet
ing of the Southern Conference which
is to take place at Charlottesville in
conjunction with the tournament.
"HE Southeastern Conference bas-
ket ball tournament is to be
held at Atlanta Friday and
Saturday. It Is understood that, un-
less the tournament is far more sue
cessful than it was in 1888, this Is
the last time it will be held.
It is interesting to note that one OF
the reasons given by two or three OF
the far Southern schools for their de-
sire to split the old Southern Confer
ence was because Of the heavy ex-
pense entailed in bringing the more
northerly teams to the tournament,
thus making the tournament flnan-
cially unsuccessful.
The year following the split the
tournament held at Atlanta by those
schools advocating the break prac-
tically went on the rocks because 1t
was most unsuccessful. while the one
held at Raleigh by the Southern Con-
ference not only paid all expenses Of
all teams but put Q profit Of nearly
81 500 In the Conference treasury.

NEW YORK, N. Y, February 81

designs on the world three-cushion

who has held the crown 10 times;

Hoppe, the former balk-line king,
bidding for the only title he has
never held.
At the top of the heap was Coch-
ran, Bozeman and Layton, each OF
whom has won seven games in nine
matches. Close behind, hopeful of
knocking off the leaders, was Hoppe,
winner of six of his nine starts. For
Hall it was just matter of watchful
waiting, as he has completed his
schedule with a record of eight
triumphs and three losses.
Cochran propelled himself back
into the running last night by over
whelming the youthful Bozeman, so

exhibition of shot making. And just
to make the race more complicated,
Hall, already conqueror of Bozeman
and Cochran, knocked of Layton in
an upset, so to 80.

w whatever may happen
Nh/ in the few remaining
Wv local college basket ball
games, Catholic Uni
versity has wound up its season
with a better record than any
of the other colleges here pos
sibly can achieve.
while it lost both contests of its
Northern trip, including the one last
night with Long Island University,
the Brookland five has Is victories
against defeats. No other local
college can match this mark.
Coach Forrest Cotton unquestion-
ably has turned out at c. U. the best
team it has had since the day when
Fred Rice developed some of the
greatest in the East. From the begin
ming of the season on the team played
good basket ball, and even in the
games it lost was impressive.
George washington is not far be-
hind Catholic U. The Colonials have
lost only games, but have only
10 on the right side of the ledger
with one more scheduled.
"HE same teams, st. Johns of
Brooklyn and Long Island u,
put a crimp in the records OF
Catholic U. and George Washington.
Earlier in the season the Colonials
went North and suffered the same
fate against these quints as did the
Cards on the jaunt just ended.
Maryland is third in line, not far
back, and can finish with record of
II wins and defeats if it beats Hop
kins at College Park tonight.
Georgetown has a $3.50 record,
Gallaudet is in "the red" and AIneri-
can u was able to register only one
triumph in its campaign recently
brought to close.
Catholic University's success is due
to good coaching and some excellent
leadership on the floor. White at
guard and Lieb at center were bril-
liant and at the same time consistent.
Lieb was the main cog that made the
G. y. wheel turn so rapidly.
r ONG ISLAND assumed the lead
from the start and never was
in danger of being headed by
Catholic University last night in
Brooklyn, winning, 46 to 81. With
Bender and Kramer piling up two
pointers, the host team took 24-to-7
lead at the half and coasted there
after to its twenty-second victory of
the season. Long Island has bowed
only once.
Hurting Catholic University's cause
was the missing of II foul shots in
16 tries. Babe Gearty, clever forward,
was the leader of the Cardinal attack
with three field goals and a pair OF
free tosses.
