RICHMOND, Va. Feb. a.
Professional boxing for Virginia
was much closer to an actuality
today following the action yester.

who favorably reported the
Daughton professional boxing bill
by vote of 6 to 4.
The committees action was
taken despite the protests of re"

weeks ago the house passed the
bill by an overwhelming major

will sign the measure if it passes

The most Important testimony
offered at yesterdays hearing
was given by Delegate Ralph
Daughton, Of Norfolk. author Of
the bill. He stated that profess

State an annual revenue Of about
$10O,cCC through imposition Of a

5 NAVY TEAMS
SEEK SPORT
CROWNS

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 27.-In
wrestling, fencing. gymnastics,
water polo and indoor rifle shoot
ing, Navy has not been beaten by
a collegiate opponent this winter,
and is working to land champion
ships in each of those five sports.
These teams will face their hard
est competition during March. but
in each case there is at least an
even chance of landing at the
top.
The wrestlers have won from
Pennsylvania, Harvard and Vir-
GINA Military Institute, and have
tied with Washington and Lee.
They face the hardest kind of
competition from Oklahoma A.
and M. and Leigh, champions
in their respective sections.
Though defeated by the former,
Navy would still have a chance by
beating Lehigh to lead the East
ern division.
Beat Princeton and Columbia
Navy fencers have defeated
Princeton and Columbia. They
expect their hardest fight, short
of the intercollegiate, when they
cross blades here Saturday with
New York University East
ern champion last year. Navy
has a very well-balanced team,
with two of the best collegiate
foilsmen in Tilburne and Kat,
and a star epee performer in
Johnston. The Navy finished Sec
ond last year.
An excellent chance is seen to
land another water polo cham
pionship. Navy, after three years
of leadership, lost to Pennsylvania
two years ago, but regained its
position last season. This year
City College of New York and
Rutgers have been defeated, but
the hardest opposition is expected
from Pennsylvania, which con-
tests here this Saturday. The
Navy team is about on a par with
that of last season.
Navy gymnastic team, losing by
graduation such stellar perfor-
mers as Curtis, Denton and Con-
molly, all intercollegiate cham
pions in their lines, could not be
to rank with that Of
last year, but the comparatively
new performers are improving

Working as smoothly as a we'll

went to work on the second place
Wisconsin team last night at La

GIANTS MOURN
FORMER BOSS

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 27.-Feeling
a real sense of personal loss,
the New York Giants resumed
their early spring training with
a definite lack of enthusiasm
today due to the death in New
York of their former leader and
friend, John j. McGraw.
Bill Terry, who replaced Nc
GraW two years ago when the
latter's health forced his resigna-
ton as manager of the club,
wasn't present for today's prac-
tice. He left to attend the
funeral and pay his last respects
to the man who had become
one Of the immortals Of base.
ball while managing the Giants
for more than 80 years.
There will be, no practice at
all tomorrow. the day of the
funeral.
The players wore mourning
bands on their uniforms, but
this wasn't wholly necessary in
the case of those veterans, still
with the club, whom McGraw had
discovered and developed and
made into stars. Among the lat
ter were Carl Hubbell. the great
star Of the last world series;
Travis jackson, Fred Fitzsim-
Adolfo Luque, Hal Schu-
macher and Frank Snyder, now
a coach of the team.
A further shock was the abrupt
departure on Saturday of John
CBlondy'D Ryan, star shortstop,
to attend the funeral Of his
father.

MIKE OP|NES
HURLERS
HOLD. KEY
BY GARRETT WATERS

by OAhhEA1 WAL EMS
"Sure, we'll win the pennant
again, but our chances of cop
ping more easily than in 1888
will depend on how the pitch
erS fare"
So said Trainer Mike Martin
The other day in a gabfest on the
eve of his departure for Biloxi,
Miss, the spring conditioning
base of the Washington Griff-
men.
Mike continued:
"The remainder of the team
Is set, the way I see it. The
infield is strong, the Outfield
Is just as good as last years.
# not better with the younger
Johnny Stone present, while
the catching staff, with Sewell
and Berg as its guiding lights,
and the budding Cliff Bolton,
Is as good as ever.
But the pitchers will hold
the fate of the club in the
palm of their hands. what
they do will tell the story OF
the race as far as the Wash
ingtOn club is concerned.
Trainer Martins opinions are
half right here as there is that
point of uncertainty about the
teams pitching corps. To be sure
It's not apparent on paper as the
staff in that connection is one OF
the best in the entire league.
Whitehill, Russell Mysteries
But it remains to be seen
whether Earl Whitehill, for one
example, will come through again
or whether Jack Russell, as an"
other example, will jump into the
fore as one of the greatest money
hurlers" the circuit has known in
moons.
Martin holds the enthusiastic
hope they will. He also has ideas
that Monte Weaver, a total loss
during the early part Of 1888, but
. veritable power house towards
the end, will branch out into the
really excellent pitcher that he is.
His views on Weaver:
"He shouldn't be sick this sea-
son, as Monte normally keeps
himself in pretty good physical
shape. If he comes through
right from the start, the club
won't have to worry a great deal
about the early games, such as
proved quite a bother last year."
And. oh yes. Mike believes the
team will get a great deal of help
from he rockies Ray Prim and
Eddie Linke this year. Both
have the goods, especially Prim,
who stood the Philadelphia AS on
their heads last fall. If they come
through, well sir, the Washington
Club won't be stopped, that's all.
Crowder, Stewart, Thomas?
Plenty Of possibilities there, if
only fortune will smile and make
them winners again, especially
Thomas. who had discouraging
year in 1888.
Big Seasons Ahead
The first-named pair should en-
Joy big seasons. Whatever Thomas
does will be better than in 1893,
as most of the time he favored his
arm and found, to his dismay, he
couldn't bear down when the &C.
caSion arose. But according to
Martin, his arm is sound, as it
proved itself to be in the world
series when he stepped in and
halted the Giants when they were
In the midst of a winning game.
Said Martin, in conclusion:
''Well all know what's what
after q week or two at training
camp. But I'll still contend the
pitchers will make or mar our
chances this year, even though
they'll be helped by the spirit
and hustle of the entire team,
and, above all, the aggressive
ness which CrOnin will instill
into the boys, once the cam
paign has started and impOr-
tant victories are being wOn."
