Columbian Squire Sport Ne1os

House, Saturday morning, and all squires are asked to get in touch with Jim McGraw, or Joe Shea, if they are in any way interested in bowling.
 The Columbian Squirea wish Co express their appreciation to MT William Shea who has made pos sible for the squires to use the bowling alleys and also the basket ball court.
 We're waiting for the last round- up. was the cry that was heard for the last few weeks so as the say ing goes. Everything comes to him who waits. There are only eight remaining weeks in the house league.
 The St Mary's team surprised the strong Bonaventure crew the other night in forcing them to go two over time periods in order to ekc out a 21-19 victory. Ray Cro- nan, tall rangy center of the Squires, makes good use of his long arms. In every game he Is sure to score at least 5 points.
 Manager F. Fitzmaurice of the squires varsity Is trying to ar- range a game with the St Ann All-Stars. -
 Jimmy McGraw was elected to captain the vastly and F. Carr, captain the junior varsity.
 The Columbian Squires varsity after a week of idleness returned to the court again, and was sue cessful in defeating the St Joseph $ varsity team of New Britain in the feature game played at the Wash ineton Park Community House, Sunday, February 10th. score be- ing 18-12. Little Johnny Conlon, was the star of the game, in the first game he kept the large crowd amused with his great floor work and excellent shooting, getting z field baskets in the first game, while in the second game he re- placed injured Hook" Dubuque in the losing minutes of the game and he managed to get him- self 4 more baskets. Great work Lefty, keep it up! Chief Squire, Jim Phelan, Jr. has quite a memory. He forgot he was member of the squires.
 Little Man (Bobby Carr) Is a marvellous basketball player, anu is making quite name Tor nlm- : self up on the "HilI" with all the fair sex. Jimmy McGraw. stellar captain of the Squires. had the spectators speechless when rom the three-quarter stripe line he threw what was to be an intended pass through the straps for two points. nto crew took Francis Carr and ms Cracker Hill boys over in a very exciting Ping Pong game the other night at the club rooms. Better luck next time, boys!

 The EstimatOrs assisted thc Piumbers' pennant chances when they trimmed the leading PrOduc- ton Gang fin two games. Ray Pal. Iner, key man on the Estimat0rs' 1884 championship team, returned tO lead his former teammates to victory.
 A glance through the Chaser lineup shows that they still have Ferris, Shea and Hanlon on tho squad. Naturally the Cost Crew had little difficulty in taking three points from this second class scrub bowling team.
 Bob Reinicke and Vern Wade lost three straight match games to Roy krOm after the regular games. Those that got what it takes usual- ly get taken for more than they got.
 Last week the Plumbers lost three points to the Estimators.
 This week, the Plumbers won four points. We wonder why w. Husted was missing in the lineup this week?

FULLER HAS HAD
 CONSISTENT WINS | IN GARDEN RING
Boston Battler Has Big Test in LewsAmbers
 Friday Night
(sOeciaI To The DemocraO

New York, Feb. 25-Sammy Fuller has been consistent win ner in the Madison Square Garden ring. In the last two performan- ces the gritty Hubite turned in several exhiliaraung performances and he hopes to continue his win ming streak by tronncing Lew Am bers, over the fifteen rounds trail, next Friday night.
 Five consecutive victories scored over such good men as Ray Mill Ter, Jackie (Kid)' Berg, Billy Wal lace, Jchnny Jadick and Eddie Cool not only put Fuller among the top flight ''contenders but earned him a small fortune. He flattened Jadiek in four heats. He scored three knockdOwns and all but threw the water bucket at Young Peter Jackson but the of ficials put over one of the most atrocious decisions in ring history when they agreed on the colored Californian as the winner. In his last start several weeks ago in Boston Fuller defeated Bobby Pa cho in ten rounds.
 Good Record
 Over stretch of nine years Fuller las accomplished wonders with his gloved fists. In So starts Ne has scored 20 knockouts and brought home the bacon in thirty four more battles.
 The betting lads. figure Fuller will score a knockout inside of seven rounds. They want 3 to l and as high as to 1 the Boston ian turns the trick. At this early time Fuller Is 6 to favorite to get the verdict.
 Both are in hard training. Ann bers cnthuses large crowd daily at the Pioneer gym with eight to ten rounds of sparring. Fuller will put on the finishing touches to his long siege of training next Mon. day at Stillman's.
 The weight is 135 pounds at two o'clock on the afternoon of battle. Dan Carroll, Fuller's manager, sends word from the Hub that his charge will be under hte stipulated poundage. Ambers expects to tip the beam at the 134 notch.
 Fuller has been nominated No. challenger for the lightweight championship by the Chicago Box ing Commission. Ambers is the pride and joy in this respect of the New York solons. Fuller lost a hairline decision a year or two ago to champion Barney Ross. Barney must stake his all against the winner next summer.
 In his last fight. his debut in the Garden, Ambers trounced liar. ry Dublinsky. the elongated Chi cagOan, over the ten rounds route. He made a tremendous hit with Gotham fistic experts and fans alike.

LONG VISIT WITH DIRECTOR GIVES

McNamara Only Other Mar Reported as Possible
 AppOintee

Newton, Mass, Feb. 2e-(UP)- Likelihood that Boston College would go outside it's alumni ranks to select a head football coach loomed as result of long visit by Adam Walsh, former Notre Dame star, at the office of the Rev. Fran cis V. Sullivan, S.-J., faculty direc- tor of athletics yesterday.
 Announcement of the successful candidate for the post left vacant by resignation of Joe McKenney has been set for March 4.
 Until Walsh's name entered into speculation, John R. (DinnyC Me- Namara, backfield coach under McKenney. had been regarded as almost certain to be selected.
 Walsh was captain of the 1924 Notre Dame eleven that gained fame as ''The Four Horsemen and Seven Mules" Later he coached with success at Santa Clara on the west coast, and at Yale and Har- yard. He was recently mentioned as being considered for a similar post at Bowdoin College.

". P. 4. Subsidy Stacks Cards
Against Poets, League Claims

Contemporary poets" Mr.. Cuevas
declared, ARE so treated in our social
system that they are living in what
Is literally wretched dream.
Many of them are looked upon as
being unsocial and mentally unbal-
arced," he added. ut is quite true
that some of them are, but it is the
result of the same causes and effects
which have driven people to insanity
and suicide in different walks of life
hunger. physical suffering, privation
and despair"
Mr.. Cuevas asked If it is the con-
tention Of the administration that
pictures, paintings or statues have
contributed more to the culture of the
country than poetry, and whether it
believes that these arts are conse-
quently more deserving of public sub
sides and support. He asserted the
league believes that President Roose-
welt did not have in mind the expul-
sion of poets from the work-relief
appropriation.

In an open letter to the admin

This league has submitted a

as being the most practical and COM
prehensive which had been received"
he wrote. Instead of revising the
project to meet the requirements Of
existing regulations or formulating
such regulations as would permit the
acceptance of q poetry project, the
idea was not even given that much
consideration, and was dismissed.

LONDON, September 18. - The

The secretary of the legation said.
we have received some 20 applica-

We thank them extremely for their
offers. but the legation finds it impos-

withdrew. had paid courtesy call to
