Connolly Near Knockout.

PRESCIA and Connolly met in a
preliminary at Madison Square
Garden. 1t was a rouSing scrap be-
tween pair of unschooled young men
who knew little about defense Bres-
cia threw his right all evening and
finally landed on Connelly's left ear.
That organ promptly swelled to the
size Of a ripe apple and another blow
caused it to pop open. A steady
stream of blood gushed down over
Connelly's shoulder. The referee was
prompted to halt the scrap several
times. Connolly came on when Brescia
tired and this counter-attack was all
that prevented the fight from going
down into the record books as a
knockout against Connolly. Now the
pair are matched again.
Brescia and Connolly will put up
bruising fight. They know no better
than to belabor each other with their
fists until one or the other drops
Just what sense there is in two will
ing young men punching until one or
the other caves in is not explained by
those who care little about the game
or in developing worthy challenger
for Jim Braddock's title. In six
round fight this pair would satisfy.
But in a 10-round affair it will de-
velop into a dull spectacle. Thirty
minutes is an eternity when one Is
not properly gated to pace himself
over the route.
The fallacy of rushing fighter too
fast is illustrated in the refusal of
Paul Damski to consider Joe Louis as
an opponent for his young fighter,
Gunnar Barlund. for at least another
year. Damski brought over Walter
Neusel and thought he had cham
pion in the young German. A match
with Max Schmeling was suggested
and accepted. What Max did to his
countryman is too painful to record.

|. 6. HOOVER
NEW CENTRAL
PRINCIPAL

Appointment of Lawrence G.
Hoover, for the last eight years
assistant principal of Central High
School, as principal of the school
was voted yesterday by the Board
of Education on recommendation
Of DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools.
Hoover succeeds DR.. Harvey o.
Smith, who was promoted to as
sistant superintendent of schools
shortly after the death of DR..
Stephen E. Kramer. For several
months Hoover has been serving
as acting principal of the insCitu-
ton.
The board denied a request of
John S. Kemp. Department of La
Dor employe and a resident of
Clarendon. Va. to allow his IL
year-old daughter, Lois, to attend
Gordon Junior High School. Kemp
already has taken his complaint
into United States District Court.
He has instituted mandamus pro-
ceedings to compel school authori-
ties to accept his daughter as a
pupil. The child attended Fill
more School last year but was
barred this fall from entering the
Junior high school.
Kemp told the board he had
three other children in local
schools-two at Western High
School and one at Fillmore.
The board postponed action on
suggested changes for new
school opening hour, promoted
DR.. George M. Rawlins, jr., to
be head of the school system de-

Union of Operating Engineers

tee to draft rules for safeguard

The board refused admission
of Philip N. Dawson, jr., Of Chevy
Chase, Md, to Woodrow Wilson
High School, on the ground that
the institutions enrolment had
increased by 423 pupils this year
and to permit him to enter the
school would prove an embarrass-
ment in the case of other appli-
cantS.

all necessities. He asked that
a school be provided with both oc-
cupational and academic subjects
and the building be equipped with
an auditorium and gymnasium.
Urging more vocational oppor-
tunities, Wendell Tucker, superin-
tendent Of the Industrial Home
School for Colored Children, sub
mitted his annual report. He
pointed out that in the last 90
years only one small vocational
building. which cost $4,000, had
been added to the school.
Tucker said that under present
conditions it is impossible to fur
nish vocational opportunities to
more than onethird of the in.
mates. He said the institution
has neither gymnasium nor audi
torium.
In the annual report of the Re
ceiving Home for Children, it was
disclosed that 3,1l9 children had
been admitted during the last fis-
cal year and were given 1882 days
Of care. OF those admitted, 2,735
were police cases and the remain
der were dependent, transient or

ALLEYS

Petitions for zoning changes of
four alley properties in the North
west section were heard by the
District Zoning Commission to-
day at the concluding session on
20 petitions.
Howard P. Foley Co., Inc, elec-
trical equipent firm, asked per-
mission to locate a warehouse in
an alley in the rear of 2020 Eye
st. N. w. He explained that he
owned the property and contended
the business would enhance the
value of properties in the neigh
borhood.
Attorney James C. Wilkes, repre-
senting a group of property own.
ers in the neighborhood, opposed
the petition. He contended that
large trucks going into the alley
would block traffic and the din
from the warehouse would awaken
neighbors in early morning hours.
G. F. Gardner sought permission
from the commission to expand
floor space for an automobile re-
pair shop he has in the rear of
1924 Thirteenth st. N. w. This
was opposed by Joseph Low, who
contended such a consent might
open up property in the neighbor-
hood of Thomas Circle to indus
trial business.
