President William Harridge of the
American League and Owner Tom
Yawkey. whose flying trip from Sara
sofa ended in a down-in- the mouth
attitude.
Inflelders and outfielders alike on
both clubs. with few exceptions, wore
combination rain and cold jackets
despite the conditions, however. the
game was surprisingly we'll played.
Jimmy Foxx contributed the fielding
gem of the game in the fifth inning
when he made leaping one-hand
catch Of Joe Cronin's high throw to
retire Johnny Stone. Joe's whip
is as powerful as ever, but he still gets
his throw away too quickly when a
fast man is hitting. =. Skeet S
Dickey, rookie Red Sox catcher and
brother of the Yankee backstop, is a
dead ringer for Bill . he's an inch
taller and he has all the mannerisms
Of the elongated New York star.
Estalella probably is the worst de-
fensive inf1elder in the American
League, but he nevertheless handled
two chances in highly acceptable fash
ion today -. and both times he
threw strikes across to Joe Kuhel.

THREE 8ROUNDERS
TO Be PRESENTED
Turner.Anderson Contest Is
Most Promising on
Weekly Program.

THREE eight-round bouts involv-
ing club fighters who probably
never will rise to national
Il fistic prominence ,7ill be fea-
tured tomorrow night in he weekly
boxing show at Turner's Arena.
In the most promising scrap Bob
Turner of Norfolk clashes with John
"Swede" Anderson, light-heavyweight
champion of Europe, who ranks no
better than twenty-eighth among 175-
Founders in the United States.
Substituted for Carl Knowles, abed
with an influenza attack, Turner has
scored victories over many mediocre
fighters, the most prominent Of whom
was Reds Burman, Jack Dempseys
heavyweight protege. This triumph,
however, was recorded nearly two
years ago, when Burnan was swing
ing under the name Of K. o. Burns
and was then a middleweight.
Crimped Mickey's Comeback.
OTHER wins. which have boosted
" Turner's ring stock little, include
such victims as Larry Wagner, Henry
"Popeye" Irving. Firpo Hips, Otto
Kushmer, Joe Lipps, Joe Smallwood
and Jimmy Walsh.
Anderson's chief claim to fame
seems to lie in the fact that he halted
Mickey Walkers comeback attempt.
The Swedish swinger also holds deci-
sions over Al Gainor, Tony Cell and
AL Mccoy.
In other eight-round bouts Leroy
Zinkham will swap swats with Frankie
Mills, while Irish Johnny Dean will
square of with Pete Galiano.
A hard-hitting Baltimore light

considerable diffculting in solving

Wild Pitch Pinks Lewis.

RUDDY LEWIS, whose home run to-
day was one of the high lights of
the Nationals first exhibition game,
sustained a painful shin bruise when
he faced Rookie Stewart Bowers at
bat in the fourth inning.
Bowers got of a low. fast ball to
Lewis, the pill skidding from the slip
perry mud before reaching the plate
and striking Buddy on the shin. The
19-year-old third sacker gamely hob
bled to first base, but Harris excused
him after the inning was over and
placed Bobby Estalella on third base.
Buddy was none the worse after
Trainer Mike Martin administered
applications and he probably will
start against the Phillies.
The Orlando Chamber of Commerce
took something of verbal beating to-
day. 1t was cloudy at dawn and by
10 o'clock rain was pouring steadily
in this citrus center. Except for the
intense interest that had been worked
up in the Red SoX-National game it
is doubtful If the clubs would have
dared to play. The diamond, to begin
with, really was unsafe, while the
temperature was too cold to be COM
Portable for either athletes or spec

W stage successful come-backs,
will figure prominently in Harris
pitching plans for 1886. Monte is
making bid to stick in the big show,
which cut him loose last Spring.
With Albany the former teacher of
mathematics failed to do much, but
Weaver has been highly impressive in
workouts here.
Russell, relief pitching star of 1888,
failed to approach the same form in
1884 and 1885, but in both years he
was handicapped by injuries. He is
in good physical shape now and if he
can come through tomorrow it is
likely that Russell will assume his
old job as No. rescue hurler of the
Griffmen.
Outside of the pitchers the team
that will start against the PhillieS
tomorrow will be the same that beat
the Bosox, Harris announced. The
only possible exception is the right
.ielder. If Manager Jimmy Wilson uses
right t-handed pitcher Johnny Stone
again will open in right field, but ii

Although this will be the first time

ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 25.-PosSi-
bilities of the Occoquan Hydro
electric Power Company'S dam
site as a basic unit for a munich
pally-owned power and water
plant for Alexandria city will be
studied by members of city coun-
Gil here Tuesday night.
An offer extended the city by
a firm of consulting engineers OF
Lynchburg. Va, to supply h c
city a preliminary survey of the
possibilities OF the plant will also
be considered by the council
Mayor E. C. Dawson said today
The offer was extended the city
without cost" by Wiley and Will
son, consulting engineers. who
have specialized in municipal util
ity surveys.
Council to Vote
Handicapped by a lack of any
detailed information concerning
the Occoquan plant, Mayor Davi
son said that he would submit
to the councilmen all the CORE.
Spondence he has received in ref
erence to the plant and ask for
a vote as to whether they de,
sired to accept the preliminary
survey.
Pertinent questions pertaining
to the plant have been asked by
Mayor Dawson of the attorneys
representing the owner. To date,
however. Mayor Dawson said,
he has not received this informa-
ton and therefore is not in a
position to commit himself at this
time as to wha he thinks of the
proposal.
Attorneys for the plant, Emery
N HoSmer and ]. L. Green, of Ar
lington County, have suggested to
Mayor Dawson that the city
might benefit from valuable in
formation concerning the plant if
it would accept the offer ex-
tended b. the engineers of Lynch
burg.
Rates Too High
Among the questions asked by
Mayor Dawson about the plant
were:
The capacity kilowatt produc-
ton that could be expected from
the complete plant; what water
rights of way we're included with
the proposal, and the approx
mate price being asked for the
plant.
Viewing electric rates in Alex.
andria a. too high council mem,
berS have also been at odds with
the water utility serving Alex
andria, and the possibility of a
combination municipal power and
water plant at Occoquan is being
considered in connection with the
water dam site proposal.

PLEA WILL GO

ASSEMBLY,

FALLS CHURCH, Va, Jan. rs.
Fearing withdrawal Of the Airing
ton county section of the town
will place too heavy a burden on
the remaining taxpayers, proml,
nent Falls Church citizens today
were circulating a petition request,
ing that the State legislature dis
solve the towns charter.
Signed by citizens of both the
Fairfax and Arlington sections OF
the town, the petition is addressed
to Senator John w. Rust and Dele
gates John Mackall and William
D. Medley It's text:
Eve, the undersigned free
holders and qualified voters of
the town of Falls Church, Va,
lying and being in the counties
of Arlington and Fairfax, do
hereby petition your honorable
body to institute such legislation
as is necessary for the disSOlu-
ton of the town charter"
Fight Is Promised
Mayor L. P. Daniels and other
officials of the town government
refused to comment, declaring
that they had not seen the resolu-
ton and the suddenneSS of the &C
ton had left them unprepared to
oppose it. They added, however,
that organized opposition will
combat the bill, if introduced in
the State legislature.
Sponsors of the change of gov
eminent include B. N. Gibson, P.
w. Lee, G. N. Lester, G. T. Reeves,
]. V. Turner and Council Member
w. S. Brown. They expressed
confidence that the proposed
change from town to county form
of government would receive ia.
vorable action from the State
legislature.
Signature of Is per cent of
the qualified voters in the
town must be affixed to the petit
ton before action may be taken
by the legislature.
The town was chartered by the
legislature in 1875. The charter
was revised in 1916 and the mayor
council form has governed the
town since. The charter may be
dissolved by action of the legiSla-
ture only, it was stated.
Expect Court Decision
Circulation of the petition for
withdrawal of the Fairfax section
of the town comes coincident with
expectation of a decision from the
court of appeals on a petition Of
the Arlington county section of
the town requesting withdrawal
from the corporation.
Primary reasons for the change,
cited by advocates of reversion
back to Fairfax county, include
the advantage of sharing road con-
struction facilities and assurance
of receiving a share of State high.
way funds.
Agitation for abandonment of
the present form of government
was begun last fall by j. w. Gar,
ner. Upon Mr.. Gamers death
last month supporters of the pro
posed change organized to force
definite action on the proposal.
