Gives Decision From Train.

As Leo climbed aboard the rear
platform Of the outgoing train, he
lifted his arms and shouted:
Gentlemen, I will now give my off,
cial decision. The winner Is Guffey!"
And the train rolled OF with Flynn,
pursued by fragments of rock Of va
rfous sizes.
Mr.. Flynn came to manage some
fighters Of fair repute, like Renault
and Dave Shade and Bill Brennan,
but he entered the sphere of really big
money In 1927, as Jack Dempsey's
manager. Dempsey had just lost his
title to Gene Tunney In Philadelphia
and needed skilled hand to guide him
to return match. Flynn did q BEAU
tiful job Of guiding.
The main obstacle on the comeback
road was Jack Sharkey, then tough
and fresh and fairly young. Dempsey
had to lick him to get his second
crack at Tunney and the $4,000, 900
gate. Leo Flynn went to work build
ing up the impression that Sharkey
would claim foul at one time or an
other during the fight. He harped on
Sharkey's tendency to claim fouls 50
long and 20 thoroughly that nearly
everybody ct the fight was prepared
to see the sailor resort to this familiar
and fraudulent ruse.
And he did. Dempsey, always q
wild puncher, hit him low. When
sharkey turned to protest to the ref
cree, Dempsey knocked him cold as
smelt. Sharkey's claim Of foul was
dkallowed, and the knockout stood in
the records.

g certain One-round Reilly, came
TITO Flynn's dressing room aud said:

you?"
Listen, One-round," snarled Flynn,
grabbing the opening. unless you live
up to your name and fall down in that
first round, two minutes after the bell.
I will hit you so hard that you will
have to feed yourself through the back
Of the neck ever after, because that's
where your teeth will be-"
One-round Reilly took the hint and
went out in the first round as the re-
suit Of furry of infighting that might
have severely bruised q butterfly.
Furthermore, Flynn stuck the pro-
moter for $500 instead Of 5000 by
threatening to retire Just before the
light started.
Another time, when Leo was called
on to referee a bout in q small Okla
homa town, a group Of citizens gath
cred to inform him tactfully that it
might be nice If the local boy won the
decision. Flynn got the idea, but was
under obligations to the manager Of
the rival fighter, Guffey. He promptly
began to study timetables. That night
he timed the main bout correctly,
pointed a finger at the local boy when
1t was over. and invited the crowd to
see him OF at the station.

IN THE first round of the annual
Christmas match series Of the
Harvard, Yale, Princeton and
L Dartmouth Chess League, the
Princeton Tiger clawed its way to q
81 victory over Dartmouth, while Old

Harvard's Crimson, 81. The top-board
game between Jackson Palmer Of Har-
ward and Robert Ryder Of Yale adj
journed after the thirty-sixth move.

Foes Difficult to Find.

THE Rose Bowl Game, oldest in the
Winter field and likely the best
conducted. is finding it increasingly
diMcult to secure satisfactory oppo.
nents for the winner of the Pacific
Coast championship. Teams of the
Western Conference and Notre Dame
never are available, and Yale, Har.
ward, Princeton and the two service
schools also are opposed to post season
games. That leaves only q few East
ern universities and those Of the South
and Southwest eligible to accept Pasa.
dena's invitation.
If the Sugar Bowl is able to nego-
tiate with the Southeastern and South.
ern Conferences for the annual ap.
pearance Of the champion of one or
the other in New Orleans, it will fur.
ther handicap the Tournament Of
Roses game. That eventuality is caus-
ing considerable concern to the Pa
cif1c Coast and Pasadena at the pres.
ent moment.
Even the Shrine Hospital game,
which serves an admirable cause,
comes in for some criticism because
in several instances players were late
In returning to their classes, and there
is the possibility that one or more con-
ferences may find it necessary to frown
on that fixture.
intercollegiate leaders are Of the
opinion that foot ball is in q happy
condition at the moment, but certain
critics Of the game are endeavoring to
incite another investigation by the
Carnegie Foundation, and in the wide.
spread growth of New Year day games
may find sufficient ammunition again
to embarrass the sport.

-FOUR PIN TEAMS
BATTLE FOR TOP
DeaCons, Prophets, Sex
tons, Teachers in Hot Race
in Kelly League.
BY BILL DISMER, JR.

10 CLOSELY punched that any
one of four teams in the Clyde
Kelly Bowling League can win
- the first-half championship on
the final night of the series, more than
two dozen pin-spillers of that organi-
zation today were contemplating self
imposed diets for the next two weeks
in order that Christmas sweets may
not break up their condition for the
important business on January 8.
Two teams-the Deacons and Proph-
ets-are tied for first, while only one
game behind another pair-the Teach
ers and SeXtons-are deadlocked for
second. The four have been the lead
ers of the Chevy Chase Presbyterian
intrachurch league since the loop
started rolling at the Bethesda Alleys
early in October.
BY the luck Of the draw, two Of
them are scheduled to meet in one Of
the final matches. They are the sec
ond-place Prophets and the third
place Teachers. The other joint lead
er, the Deacons, will be up against
almost as tough a proposition in the
Elders, who are only three games out
of the lead, but without a mathemat-
ical chance to win, due to the ultimate
result of a match between two teams
slightly higher. The Sections are
scheduled to meet the Trustees, whose
Is victories in 80 games leave them
just outside of the pale of the select.
CLEAN sweep for either the Deacons
or Prophets would, of course, bring
the championship, provided that both
do not win their last three games.
Should such be the outcome, the first
half title undoubtedly would 60 to
the Deacons. who have q 525-pin adj
vantage over their deadlocked rivals
in the current total pin standing. The
Prophets would be forced to outcount
the Dekes by nearly 1855 pins In each
contest to grab the title.
Some hope Is held out for the
Prophets, however, as the Deacons lost
all three games last Friday night after
winning six straight previously.
John biggs of the Teachers is one
OF the top average men in the loop
with 102 medium for 80 games. Two
others, Hicks Baldwin, captain of the
Elders. and Emerson of the Trustees
also have 102 averages. Warren
Kicker has the highest game so far,
146, while David Thomas, loop sec
rotary and stalwart of the league
leading Deacons, holds the high set
Of 376.

Used for Advertising.

IN ALL OF the games except the
Shrine Hospital, the purpose of the
contests Is to advertise some certain
community. 1t is true the particf.
pating colleges benefit financially
from few thousands to 500 900, as in
the Rose Bowl game, but the advertis.
ing value Of the games is of ines
Unable worth to the communities in
which they are staged.
The Western Conference, which for
years has held strictly to an eight.
game foot ball schedule with no post
season games whatever, has been the
target for sharp criticism from MANY
quarters, but coaches in all parts OF
the country now are coming to real.
lze the true worth Of the big ten rule.
Discussing the increasing number Of
Winter games, one famous Pacific
Coast coach recently said: IT have
come to the belief that the ideal
schedule is of eight games and that
nine should be the outside limit.
Schedules constantly are becoming
more difficult, and the strain on both
players and coaches is tremendous. It
Is almost impossible to carry a team
through on a natural level when it Is
asked to play six or seven major
games a season. think it would be
fine thing if there were a national
regulation that the season should end
not later than Thanksgiving day."

nj likely that no man in prize
fight history ever managed
a more fighters than the late
Leo P. Flynn, known in his heyday
as the Silver Fox. Flynn was the
patron saint of the stable" system of
management. At one time his stable
contained as many as 80 distinct and
separate fighters, all doing business
simultaneously in different parts of
the country and all cutting Mr. Flynn
in for his regular 10, 20, so or 10 per
cent.
Leo is supposed to have been the
manager who first said to his fighter:
go on in there and slug that bum
He can't hurt US" That phrase has
become the motto of the managerial
business-"He can't hurt us"
F1ynn's stable got 50 big as the
years advanced that one of his heavy

courts to release him from his con-

own fighters fouled their opponents
frequently. Leo liked to say or believe
that he was constant victim Of foul
ing tactics, and he suggested that
every fighter be marked around the
foul line with indelible ink. 4
"That'Il learn en-" he said.

SERGEANT'S STEED
WINNER IN SHOW
Toston Rides to Victory in
Open Jumping Contest
at Fort Myer.

A FIRST sergeant Of the United
~ States Cavalry showed the
~ way to his superior officers
4 a and the top ranks Of civilian
performers last night in an open
jumping class which was q feature
event Of the initial Fort Myer indoor
horse show at the post riding hall
Before a crowd Of almost 1000
spectators, Sergt. William Toston Of
the Headquarters Troop. Sd Cav
airy, rode q hot-headed little bay
troopers mount named Rusty to VIC
tory in the open jumping test, in
which five horses originally went
clean and sthe margin Of placing in
the jump-of was measured by scant
half points.
Rusty was up against Lieut.. J. G.
Simpsons Buddy. Mai. Frank L.
Whittaker's Smoky, Lieut.. Frank s.
Henry's Clipped Wings and Emery
Gallihers Applejack, all formidable
open horses, when the final issue
came. Each horse went out in turn
TO make some slight mistake or other
over the raised bars, while Rusty
came flying along-the last horse and
the only one to turn in q perfect
score the second time around.
Strong Civilian Entry.
AS USUAL, virtually the entire
force Of local Army riders turned
out for the show last night. and the
civilian entry was exceptionally
strong, being drawn from the stables
Of Mrs. M. Robert Guggenheim, Miss
Louise Myers. Mrs. L. w. Robert, jr.:
Fenton M. Fadeley and others.
John Roosevelt. youngest son Of the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, was
among the exhibitors, and rode two
horses himself, but was unable to
place either in the ribbons.
Perhaps the outstanding horse of
the evening was Fenton Fadeley's
Lacquer Lady, which won the touch
and out and working hunter blues,
and on a general rating second place
would be allotted Lieut.. Frank Henry
on Clipped Wings. That good mare
was first in the handy hunter event,
third in the touch and out and second
in open jumping.
Toston Second Here.
While Sergt. Toston and Rusty out
shone the field in one division open to
every one, the same combination was
able to do no better than second in the
competition restricted to enlisted men,
where the winner was Sergt. Avery of

After being held on even terms for
the first three-quarters of the game,
Woodward Prep courtmen staged q
scoring spree in the last period to

htter's court.
The first half ended in Q SIS tie
and Woodward could outscore Friends
by only one point IN the third quarter
for 1911 lead. An attack on the
Friends basket in the final eight
minutes, however, produced II points
for Woodward, which meanwhile was
limiting the enemy to 3.
Wilson's eight field goals would

Shrine Hospital Game Only
One Not Promoted for
Mercenary Reasons.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

- AN FRANCISCO, Calf, Deem
- Der 23-Increase Of the number
Of New Year day foot ball
- games Is becoming a source Of
considerable worry to intercollegiate
athletic leaders, with the best interests
Of the sport at heart.
For many years the Tournament OF
Roses game, Pasadena, was the only
post.eason game Of importance, but
now there are six others, including the
Sugar Bowl New Orleans), Cotton
Bowl Dallas, Orange Bowl (Miami),
Sun Bowl GET Paso), Bacardi Bowl
(Havana) and the East-West Shrine
Hospital contest.
This program means that IL COLI
lege teams must prolong their sea-
sons full month after the close of
the regular schedule. and constitutes
overemphasis to degree not likely
TO be overlooked by those captious
educators who constantly are seeking
weapons with which to assail the
game. The seven post-season games
scheduled for January l are certain
to increase, and this Winter there
were unsuccessful efforts to arrange
at least two others.
