CoIoniaIs, FIashy in Taking

BY BILL DISMER. JR.

~ NE of the best college basket
4 ball teams this city has seen
u in several years, and cer-
~ tainly the best that George
Washington has produced in modern
times, is on exhibition again tonight
at Tech High, seeking its sixth straight
victory and seventh of the year.
Villanova will be its opponent.
The main attraction, scheduled to
start at Sis pm, will follow a pre-
liminary between the G. w. Freshmen
and the Rinaldi Tailors.
"Outclass" Their Rivals.
I Asst night the Colonials not only
repeated an earlier victory over
Richmond u, 43-25. but topped the
previous margin by S points. In the
words Of the Spiders own coach his
team, which has not been beaten IN
two years except by G. w., was out
classed."
Today 1t is little Milton Schoenfeldt
who is being lauded. Sent into the
game when Richmond was holding a
lead OF 12-, the ball hawk COM
pletely turned the tide of the game,
being the axis of the attack and DROP
ping through the field goal that gave
George Washington the lead for the
first time.
Once the Colonial's machine had
been primed by Schoenfeld, there was
little worry for Coach Bill Reinhart.

The champ was a Colorado boy to
begin with. He started pitching horse
shoes at the ripe old age of seven
and a fraction. Then he cultivated
the local suckers with his father for
a partner. They formed a very hot
doubles team. Mr.. Allen entered his

to scarify your correspondent.
Listen" he said. Horseshoe
pitchers may be born, but also they
are made. A horseshoe pitcher who
doesn't get the proper expert instruc-
ton is liable to go through life swing
ing the wrong way. It's like golf.
You have to know those funda-
mentals."
Stance, Grip, Head Fundamentals.
YOUR correspondent attempted to
mollify the indignant maestro of
the hoss-brogan by asking him to
name those fundamentals.
Sure" said Mr.. Allen. "You have
to have the right stance, the right
grip of the shoe, the right wrist
action, the right length and depth of
armswing, and the right height OF
shoe"
What is the right height of shoe?
THAT depends on conditions and
individual STYLE" said Mr.. Allen
learnedly. MY shoe generally is 9
or 10 feet from the ground at the top
of its arc. I mean in competition, of
course. Stunt pitching calls for an
entirely different style of toss"
Does stunt pitching interfere with
the normal competitive style?
1T certainly does" said Mr..
Allen. "It's bad for me. 1t
throws me of form. But I have
to do my stunts just the same,
to make an honest sawbuck here
and there. After all. I'm a pro-
fessi0nal.'
The worlds champ is pro and 9
transformer. From his early profits
in the barnyard pastime, he bought
himself his travelling clothes and a
small car. He weaves around the
country, playing exhibition matches
with local talent and doing his stunts.
There are about 30 stunts-ringing

mouth with a horseshoe, ringing a

fact that on Friday, cut eye an

Possibly inspired by Mader's view
point ON his debAt in Washington,

chell, a rumor spread through the
local fistic grapevine that AL Delaney,

sick at all up in New York. The rea-
son why he didn't fight simply was
Ketchell, so f1oated the rumor.
Regardless of whether there was an
iota of truth in it-and there prob
ably was not-Ketchel might have
sprung quite an upset against Delaney.
In fact, Nader had all he could do to
turn back the New Jersey plowboy,
despite the unanimous decision rem
dered by Referee Charlie Reynolds
and Judges Bob Eller and Gus Places.
On this observers score-sheet Nader
won four of the eight rounds, with
three even and the other to Ketchell.
It was a fight in which two heavies

NROVIDENCE. r. l., January
- 1.-two men, James ]. Brad

caused tremendously increased
interest in professional boxing and
led thousands of men and women all
over the United States to talk about
the game, though perhaps they're
never even seen boxing glove.
Although Louis sensational ex-
ploits during 1885 must be reckoned
the outstanding development of the
year, Braddock's stunning defeat of
Max Baer for the heavyweight cham

among the causes for boxing's revival.
This entirely unexpected result was

Need for Boxing Gear" Seen.
DURING 1885 We had, of course, a
few lamentable fiascos in boxing,
caused primarily by poor matchmakers
and aided and abetted by the boxing
commissions which allow such matches
to be put on.
The time is ripe now for appoint
ment of a Gear" of boxing, similar
to the positions of Judge Lands in
base ball and Will Hays in the moving
picture industry. Such a step is
urgently needed for the protection Of
boxing fans, as well as of promoters
and boxers.
On the whole, I firmly believe that
boxing can very well be proud OF its
record for 1885. and I feel it will in
crease its position tremendously dur
