greater slump.
The boardmen did insist, how
ever, that NRA be "rearranged"
Immediately. They conceded its
permanent form may involve
many changes from the present
organization.
The board. appointed by Secre-
tary of Commerce Daniel G. Rop-

of seeking Johnson's removal.

New York, December 4 = (UP) Madison Square Garden, 6 o'clock in the morning.
 You walk into a lobby that has the air of oppressive assertion that only place normally all hustle and hustle can muster. The slight, tired little watchman in blue and the scrumwoman are the only ones about. The concession booths are locked. The bronze, life-size Mui- doom boxing trophy stands deso- late in a corner. The sound Of your footsteps comes back in echo.
 Up the ramp and to the press box you go. It's empty, the grass hopped chirps of the telegraph bugs" and the chatter of the type writers stilled. But you are not alone, far down on a white pine track that resembles a giant in verted derby brim, the six-day bl- cycle riders are riding = riding, riding to nowhere.
 There are fourteen of them - fourteen adult men, wearing long woolen drawers, pull-on sweaters and smelling of liniment. Strung out Indian file, yet so close to- gether wheels almost brush, thelr pace is slow; so slow as to give the effect of monster caterpillar crawling blindly in circles. Round and round they go, speaking not a word, their eyes heavy with sleep' their facts as expressionless as pes.
 The only sound in the vast build in is the soft purr of the SIX tires on the pine planking.. You cough. It sounds like an explos- ion. and the riders lift their eyes to see who is watching them. A second late, however, their heads bob down again, shoulders hunch over, and the caterpillar resumes it's dull, dead crawl:
 You sit down and watch a while. After a few laps of tortuous pro gress the caterpillar breaks tinto Darts. Letourner throws an arm across Georgetti's shoulders ana they pedal along like a sWeethearl and a beau. Spencer pairs off with Deulberg. Martinetti with Grimm and Walthour with Sims.
 The pace, as the men lean on one another for support, becomes so slow riding on the banked track becomes impossible and they dritt down to the flat - that wooden sidewalk running around the inside of the track. ..or

Sunday his New York Giants, winners of the eastern half of the National Professional League race, meet the Chicago Bears, western half winners, and 60,000 or more persons will go to the Polo grounds to Sc the game. The gross take will be around $1O0.000.
 Mara does not subscribe to the opinion that professional football will put the colleges out of bus mess. But he does believe that pro- fessional baseball will suffer with in the next 10 years from the in- roads of professional football.
 Out To Win
 "The public finally has come to realize that professional football is strictly on the level" he said. "The public realizes that it must be on the level, or franchise wouldn't be worth a quarter. The result is steady growth in crowds. For the same reason that college football is the outstanding amateur sport, professional football will be the outstanding professional sport, and if you don't believe it., take look at the game a few years from now.'
 Good Business
 He slapped rubber band around a roll of bills and rushed one of his office workers to the bank with a deposit that brought the total of yesterdays ticket sales for Sum- days game to $1S,000.
 He has nursed the Giants through the ailments of infancy and now that they have grown up he can't quite turn them loose.
 The team that he will send out against the Bears Sunday lost the playoff last year after the lead had changed sides seven times. The fin- al margin of victory was 2 points. The Giants have 195-pound back field and team that averages 213 pounds over all. The Bears weigh t210 pounds over all. The game is likely to be one of the best of the season from a standpoint of sheer football, and All-Americas will be on parade all afternoon.

Chicago's Bears used the for ward-lateral diagramed above for gain of 12 yards in the drive that placed the ball in position for the first of Jack Manders' two placekicks in the third quarter of their game with the Lions in De- troit.
 Chicago came from behind to win, 1916, and earn the right to meet the New York Giants in the playoff for the national profession al championship for the second consecutive year. The Bears and Giants battle at the Polo Grounds on Dec. 9.
 In the pplay described here, the ball went to Broncho Nagurski, who made half spinner, and faked giving the ball to Ronzani.
 Nagurski then faked a line plunge, drawing up Chuck Bernard and Gutowski. the first two men of Detroit's secondary defense.
 As Nagurski neared the line of scrimmage, he suddenly leaped in- to the air, and threw a short for ward pass to Karr, right end, who went through and sprinted parallel with the line of scrimmage.
 Karr advanced the ball four yards to draw Father Lumpkin and Dutch Clark toward him, and then chucked a lateral pass to Bill Hew- it, left end, who picked up eigh. to complete the 12-yard gain.

Following ten weeks of red-hot bowling, with four more weeks to go to complete the first half. we find that the s. N. E. Tel. League has three teams tied for first place and the next three within four points of the leaders. There are 1o teams in the league.
 Whitey Anderson's team which has been leading from the start up to last Friday, was finally stopped when the tail-end team of Les Nv ems gave him a whitewash. The second and third place teams fought it out the same night to bring themselves up even with An derson.

Congressional aid for Washing

be pressed during the session
which begins next week.
Senator William H. King CD
Of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, is expected to
take the lead in this program by
seeking early enactment of the
proposal, which has come from the
District Building, to tighten the
anti-gambling laws in the city.
The measure already has been
drafted and placed before the
committe chairman. H. Barrett
Prettyman, Corporation Counsel,
who brought the proposal to Sen
ator King recently and it is under
stood the Senator will ask his
committee to approve it and get
it through the Senate shortly af'
ter Congress meets. The coopera-
ton of the House will be sought
in rushing the bill through to the
statute books.
The bill, which was passed by
the Senate last year, but was held
up by the House, is resigned to
make enforcement of the existing
laws more effective and to lend
aid in the securing of convictions
in gambling cases.
The measure is especially de-
signed, according to those spon'
soring it, to curb the prevalence
of the numbers racket"
