STOENTER
4 IN TOURNEY

University of Maryland plans
to send four and possibly five
boxers to the Southern Conference
tourney at Charlottesville on
February 1924.
Harry Carroll, 125-pounder,
Lyman McAboy, 1855; Stewart Nc
Cav, who fights at 165 or Its,
and AL Farrell, heavy. are sure
nominees, while Walter Webb,
lightweight, may also be entered
Carroll has won three bouts.
lost one and tied one, McAboy
and McCaw each has taken five
of six, while Farrell, who recently
returned to school after being out
a semester, will see action for the
first time against Washington
and Lee at College Park, Satur'
day.
Webb has won two or three con
tests, and has shown great posi-.
bilities. However, the 135-pound
class in the tourney Is held to be
too fast for him at present.
Bill Waller, who fight in the
lis and 125-pound divisions, and
the only unbeaten boxer on the
Old Line squad, will not take part
in the title event. His best fight
ing class is the lis pounds and he
cannot make that weight and be
up to par more than once every
two weeks.

CLASH
FOR COUNTY
CAGE TITLE
BY SID KATZNlELL

by SID AAxANGA1
There will be a hot time in the
Bethesda Chevy Chase High gym
naSium tonight.
The champion rivals in this
part Of the country will collide
for the unlimited basketball su-
premacy of Montgomery county
starting at 8:15 o'clock. Who are
they? Oh! Yves. They are Be
thesda Firemen, the pride Of Wal
ter Johnson'S town, and Rockville
A. A., the favorite team Of the
matrimonial center, quintS.
Rockville Favored
Rockville is q slight favorite by
the big betting merchants Of both
towns due to its more impressive
record. The Rockies have copped
ID contests and dropped 8, now
ever, records don't mean a thing
when rivals clash, as we all know
by now. For instance, we have
seen an inferior Tech high team
defeat a first-rate Eastern five.
John Mcdonald, enthusiastic
manager Of the Rockville combi-
nation, has gathered . fine col
lection Of players from here and
there and everywhere. Here they
are: Fred Lanier, former Tennes-
see Prep ace; Johnny Pit1er, ex-
Maryland University player:
Woodson Birthright, former Gen.
tral performer; Paul, Farmer,
former Western Maryland player;
Jack Markland, who saw service
with Rockville High several sea-
sons ago; Izzy Steinberg, who
also played for Rockville High a
few years ago, and Bucky AnderS,
still another former Rockville
High plyaer.
Ford Young, playing manager
Of the Firemen, predicts his
charges will give a good account
Of themselves, II not emerge VIC
torious.
Points with Pride
Young points with, extreme
pride to Bill Joves and Richard
Nichols, former star baSketerS
with the last years champion
Bethesda Chevy Chase quintet,
when you ask him about his
team. He claims they are two
of the sweetest tossers in Mont
gomery county.
. Other players on the Fire
eaters roster are Jack Allen,
Henry Melton, Len Schaffter,
Warren Swift and Bob Brown.
Schaffter will be unable to
play tonight because Of a bad
ailing ankle. Swift played with
Central High when it won the
Penn tournament some time ago.
Rockville will also see action
Saturday at Rockville High, meet
ing the famed Scholl's Cafe
courtmen, winner of IS consecu-
tive games. The game starts at
8 o'clock. The Rockville Girls
oppose the J. c. c. Girls in the
preliminary.

well for the winners. Keefer

son chalked up 10 markers for

None other than Sam Rice, fans.
Yes sir, good old Sammy, who has
been such standby in the out
field of the Washington Club all
these years, but who was released
BY President Clark Griffith about
. month ago.
Another familiar figure in a
"foreign" uniform. Thatu be
Rice's forte this season as today
he Is a member Of the Cleveland
Indians, having signed to play
with Manager Walter johnson and
his gang only yesterday.
Received Offer
Rice has been considering the
Cleveland proposition for some
time. Soon after his release from
the Washington Griffmen, he ad-
mitted that he had received an
offer from General Manager Bill
Evans, and that he was going to
take it.
The actual closing Of the deal
arrived yesterday. Rice said yes
as did Evans and right away the
veteran told his new boss that he'd
be ready to play at the very start
of the campaign if they so desired
to have it that way.
But first, Rice had an idea that
q short sojourn to Hot Springs
would benefit his supposed aging
legs. He told Evans he didn't

"Wake Me Early" Says Title Fight Put Off
Da Preem "FOr Pn To To Let Dance Go On
Be King of the Ball." But It's All Fun Folks.
By BILL CoRUM

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-News
from Florida that q world
championship h avyweight
prize fight has been postponed
because it conflicted with q
dance In Palm Beach comes as
0 shock to those Of US who re-
member when q title tilt among
the big fellows was Page l
stuff.
Shades Of Rickard, and Of
Tunney and Dempsey in Chi.
cagoI So it's come to this?
The next thing we know,
Baer, or some other one Of
those big hambones will be
calling off q fight because his
seamStress can't have his cos
tune ready in time.
Something also was said in
the despatch announcing the
postponement about a horse
show conflicting with the fight
date. But that can't have been
it. I'll lay the odds that there
Is not a bigger horse in all OF
Florida than Camera. And
Camera was to have been one
of the principals in the fight.
Yes, Primo was going to
fight Tommy Loughran. He
was going to fight him on
the night Of Washington's
Birthday. I cannot tell q lie,
folks, that's what they were
going to do. The brazen fel-
lows admitted it.
Conflict in Dates
But they had reckoned with
out the dance. Or perhaps
their social secretaries had
overlooked the conflict in dates.
Their cards may have been
late in arriving, even. Who
knows? And then it came out.
The dance and the fight were
scheduled for the same eve
ming.
What CONSERVATION! What
tearing of hair! What frantlc
telephoning! Well, you can
imagine. Should they dance
or should they fight? That
was the question. Hostesses
snatched their invitation lists.
Fight managers snatched their
contracts. Boxing fans snatched
their pocketbooks and tn cir
noses Zone with either hand.
All was turmoil.
But cooler heads finally pre-
vailed. They would dance, OF
course. You can always fight,
can't you?
This, no doubt, in view Of all
the circumstances, was a wise
decision. After all, the Palm
Beach dance on Washington's
Birthday comes only once q
year. But it seems to me pro
moters Fitzpatrick and John
ston overlooked a great bet.
They might have combined the
fight and the dance and made
a regular gala out of it.
Some Announcement
How would this have been
for an announcement:
Combined George Washing.
ton Birthday dance and Primo
Carnera-T m m y Lou g h ria n
heavyweig G hit championship
fight-all for the price Of one
ticket-cOme early and avoid
the rush?
I realize that this might pos
sibly have led to complications.
Some folks might have had
trouble telling who was fight
ing and who was dancing. But,
on the whole it seems to me 1t
would have been a brilliant
solution, and I'll bet the pro-
moters kick themselves when
they read this, for not having
thought of it in time.
You may recall that some
thing was said in yesterdays
column about this fight becom-
ing so social that more news
about it was appearing on the
society pages than in the sports
sections. And in the same
paper in which I read Of the
postponement u It'll February
2S-when presumably there will

be no folk dances, horse shows,
dog races, or shuttle board tour.
namentS to conflict with it
find a picture Of "Jose" Smith
in q group with Jimmy Crom-
well, Atwater Kent and Lough-
ran.
When he left here q fortnight
ago, "Jose" Smith was Just
plain Joe Smith, Of Philadel-
phia. But that old daVvil Palm
Beach and those white pants he
was sporting in the picture must
have got him down. Maybe
Joseph decided that plain Joe
Smith didn't have exactly the
right ring for the Stotesbury
drawing room In which the pic
ture was snapped, and threw
in the IS" for luck. Well, you
can't disqualify him for trying.
Fashionable Name
Joe, you may know, is Lough-
rams quiet, shy little manager
the pair forming one Of the
long standing and ideal partner"
ships Of pugilism. But the
Camera camp can't afford to
let the Loughran camp put any
thing over on it, and any day
now we may be reading where
Sir Guilliame Duffee, Of Duxieme
Avenue on the fashionable west
side, Is also disporting himself
beneath the palm beach palms.
But do not be deceived. Sir
Guilliame will be none other
than Bill Duffy, the large, hand
some and free-handed pilot OF
Da Preem. Sir Guilliame should
go pretty good in that palm
beach, at that, come to think
Of it.
All of which, Of course, is
written in a kidding vein. This
column has no quarrel with the
Carnera-Loughran fight, or any
other fight, wherever held. It
must be plain to all that such
a contest will be something
less than an epic struggle III
it did promise to be a great
battle, they wouldn't be hold
ing it in Florida.
The postponement on such
plainly trumped UP and flimsy
excuses also must indicate even
to the uninitiated that the de-
mand for tickets has been less
than sensational. But as what
might be called resort fights"
20, there have been less inter-
esting ones than this, and will
be again, you may be sure.
What Odds on Tom?
For example, if both men
finish on their feet, how much
would you want to bet and
what odds would you be will
ing to give that Loughran
doesn't wind up with the
heavyweight crown, Which
surely would be q story on the
face of it-a determined, never
say-quit gentleman of the ring
coming on to win the title a
half-dozen years after he had
passed his prime.
What would have been the
odds against Uncle Toms ever
winning the big championship
the night the schoolboy Hamas
punched him from pillar to
post and knocked him out in
the Garden? Plenty long,
wouldn't they?
And yet, if he can stay the
distance with Primo, I repeat
that you wouldn't want to be
laying any 4 or 5 to that
Tom doesn't wind up with the
duke. So as a fight this one
has its points, even though 1t
does not promise to be one OF
the great, Observation-Disclosures
battles of the ring.
There Is only one thing sure
about any fight before 1t Is
fought, and that is, that II it's
on the level, there's nothing
sure about it. And I don't be-
lieve that Tommy Loughran
ever took part in any fights
that weren't on the level. do
you?

WOMEN'S CLUBS
FOLLOW NEW DEAL
End Conference Discussing
0Id-Age Pensions and
JobIeSS Insurance.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark, May 25.--
Bringing to a close week-long pro-
gram featuring a new deal in policies,
the council meeting Of the General
Federal ton of Women's Clubs today
took up public old-age pensions and
unemployment insurance and prepared
for presentation of candidates for Of
fees tonight.
Cld-age pensions was the third con-
troversial question to face the gath
erirg under the new policy allowing
such procedure, for the first time in
the history of the federation. Mrs.
Irene Sylvester Chubb of Missouri
took the affirmative. and Noel Sar-
gent, secretary of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, spoke
against the plan.
Acts on Firearms Bill.
In its strongest attitude taken on
public questions, the council today was
on record in favor of return to the
firearms bill of regulatory features
governing sale of pistols. The House
Ways and Means Committee had re-
moved the feature from the measure
requiI ing purchasers of pistols and re-
volvers to be fingerprinted, and pay
q sales tax.
The body. also has indorsed the
Copeland food and drugs bill now
before GnnOrpSS and odnnfnd
luton opposing return of the saloon.
The greatest good to have come
out OF extending the vote to women
has been that womanhood has taken
the responsibility for legislation re-
Stricting industry when it menaces
lives" Mrs. Jerome E. Cook of st.
Louis told the council in opposing
the equal rights amendment.
Plea by Mrs. Holmes.
Mrs. .Burnita Holmes Matthews of
Washington, attorney and represent
ative of the National Woman's party,
said the equal rights amendment
would put women into the Consti-
tuition; and would strike down the
shackles the common law places upon
them and would mean that every
woman shall hold her life, liberty,
property, immunities and privileges
under the protection of the general
rules governing other human beings"
The council heard its chairman of
the American Home Department,
Mrs. w. w. Seymour of Chicago,
say that the federation will continue
to fight child marriages in every
State as well as child labor and
sweat shops and will advocate sterili-
zation of the unfit.
