HAVANA. December 1s.-The House
of Representatives tonight was called
day to discuss impeachment proceed
ings against President Miguel Mariana
Gomez
Pro-army leaders of Cuba's Con-
eress had earlier announced they
had drafted and signed impeachment
charges against the President because
of his opposition to sugar tax bill
passed early today which would give
the army an estimated sl.500,00 a
year for rural schools.
AS the special meeting OF the House
was called, an extraordinary meeting
of the Senate was called for pm.
Monday.
Senate leaders who announced the
meeting refused to divulge its purpose,
but observers stated they believed the
meetings of the House and Senate
were related.
Call Indicates Defeat.
The calling of the special session Of
the House was taken as an indication
that the President had lost another
round In his battle against the army
and a large part of the Congress over
the sugar measure.
During the afternoon and night he
had centered his efforts on trying to
prevent the calling of the special House
session.
As he conferred in the palace dur
ing the evening, farmers and work.
ers paraded in Havana in demon
Etration in favor of the sugar bill.
Under Cuban law the President can
be impeached by two-thirds of the
total House membership of 162.
Once impeached, he would be tried
by the Senate sitting as court and a
majority vote Of the Senate could
oust him.
The President has said he would
veto the bill, and well-informed
sources said they expected he would
do so within few days.
He held conferences with friends
and advisors all day and into the
night, and spent an hour in a meet
ing with his cabinet.

streets of Havana.
The demonstrators were orderly and

ing everything that might block his
plan to establish schools in Cubas

NANKING, December 20 Sun
day).-The mutineers in Sianfu today
apparently had called the hand Of the
Nanking government on its sudden
announcement last night a military
drive against the rebels would be re-
sumed unless Generalissimo Chang
Kai-Shek was released by today.
The generalissimo, held captive
since a week ago yesterday by Mar
shall Chang Hsueh-Liang. had not
arrived in Marking up to an early
hour this afternoon nor had he ar
rived elsewhere in Markings territory
as far as could be ascertained here.
At the same time. what the Nanking
military leaders were doing to carry
out their threatened drive on the
mutineers was not disclosed.
Local chieftains said that the field
commanders in Loyang and Cheng-
Chow, both in Honan Province, had
not advised them Of developments
today.
Newspapers Prepared.
That at least some sections Of the
capital expected the generalissimo to
appear prior to daylight was evidenced
BY the fact that the vernacular news
papers prepared and held in readiness
for distribution extra editions her
aiding Chiangs return.
Amidst the deepest gloom they dis
carded the extras and concluded that
hope for the generalissimo's imme-
diate release was futile.

Tony Keys Up
With Victory
Over Mexican
Lightweight Champ Floors
Garcia 3 Times, Stops
Him in Ninth.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Tony
Canzoneri, lightweight champion,
today boosted a technical Knockout
over Brescio Garcia of Mexico
in the first Of a series of tune-up
bouts preparatory to defending his
title or taking shot at Barney
Ross welterweight crown.
Canzoneri floored the Mexican
three times before Referee Billy
Cavanaugh halted the bout after
1889 of the ninth round. He
dropped Garcia with right hook
for a count of seven in the seventh
round. Two more trips to canvas
followed for the Mexican in the
eighth, the first for count of nine
and the second for count of six,
the bell saving him. Canzoneri
weighed 1873, Garcia 1877.
Before the seventh round, Gar
cia fought on even terms with the
champion, who was making his first
start since he defended his crown
against Al Roth, New York, in Oc-
tober. The Mexican won the Sec
ond, fourth and sixth rounds.

season there will be lot of popping
off at the Polo Grounds-but hardly
the kind that MIR. Terry has in
mind.
A S is his annual custom, the
4 N gifted dramatic critic, Mr..
Burns Mantle, has listed the best
plays Of the year. But for some odd
reason he ignored the triple play
that occurred at Fenway Park last
summer. 1t was a triple play in
which Bad News Hale of Cleveland
used his head.
You may recall the details. 1t
was the ninth inning. The Red
Sox were leading ST.. In a brief
space two runs were scored and the
bases were filed with none out, and
Oral Hildebrand pitching. Mr.. Joe
Cronin stepped to the tee in this
vital situation.
The Boston manager swung at
fast ball and slammed it on a line
toward third. Mr.. Hale threw up
his hands, was second late, the
ball hit him on the head and bound
ed high in the air. Mr.. Knicker-
booker caught it on the way down
and since all the runners were on
the move it was a simple matter
to complete triple play. And all
because the deep thinking Mr.. Hale
had used his noodle.
But the most astonishing thing
about it" remembered Mr.. Al
Schacht, was that the ball wasn't
damaged in the slightest

Butler Squad
on War Path
for Irish Tilt
Seek Revenge for Richmond
Loss and Last Four
in N. D. Series.

Butler memories of last weeks
surprise defeat at the hands of
Earlham College have been sup
planted by extensive mapping of
battle plans for the clash with
Motto Dame on the Irish floor
Saturday night.
The tact that the Bulldog varsity
went berserk against the lighter
Richmond team and fouled its way
out of the contest no longer is
worrying Coach Tony Hinkle whose
METERS will find the Irish an ag-
gressive squad, accustomed to the
bodily-contact type of play.
Works With Sophomores
Scott Armstrong, Roscoe Bats,
Toy Jones and Ralph Bradford have
participated in all of the Bulldog
Irish battles of the last two years
and are familiar with the system
employed by the Keoganmen. The
Bulldog mentor has been concen-
trating much attention on his
sophomore recruits to offset the
wealth of reserve material available
to Coach Keogan who has three
full squads ready for action.
In 1888, band Of Butler fresh
men sat in the Notre Dame stands
and watched frankie Baird steal
victory from the Ramblers in the
closing minutes of the game. to give
the Hinklemen an edge in the series.
Last Years Scores
For two years those Bulldogs, Jones,
Armstrong, Bradford and Bats,
have attempted to duplicate those
winning points against the Irish,
but in each of the four tits the
final gun has found them narrowly
out of reach. Last year, the scores
were 30 to % and q to %.
The tilt will be Buffers second
contest on a foreign court after a
seven-game stand at the fieldhouse.
Hinkle drilled the varsity assidu-
ously yesterday afternoon on often
sive formations and capped the
workout with lengthy free throw
practice.

Agrees
to Numa Bout
Georgia GrappIer in Line for
Tuesday,; Foe Sought
for Savage.

Frank Speer, 235, one of the best
football players ever to wear the
colors of Georgia Tech, will pit his
power against Leo Numa, 218, Seat
tie, to feature the Hercules A. C.
ll-heavyweight wrestling card next
Tuesday night at the Armory.
A strong foe is being sought to
toss against Daniel Boone Savage,
$50, the "hill-billy" grappler from
Kentucky, who will appear in one
of the supporting matches. Savage,
who is a giant in strength, intro
duced his peculiar style of perform
ance to Armory fans Tor the first
time on Jan. IA. The bewhiskered
mailman is feet inches tall.
Speer, former all-America grid
der, has trounced numerous front
rank heavies. He had issued a
challenge to the winner of the
Numa- Kennedy tug here earlier in
the week and Leo readily accepted
the offer after gaining the victory
over Kennedy. Numa has won six
of seven local bouts and holds vic
tories over George Cry Baby Ia
harias and Orville Brown.
A favorite of two years ago will
see action on Tuesdays program.
He is Irish Pat OShocker, 228, Salt
Lake City red-head. Matchmaker
Lloyd Carter hopes to land Babe
zaharias, brother of George Ia
harlaS, to oppose O'Shocker.

Caplin, who is from the Joe (Wee
Wus Robbed) Jacobs school of pro-
testers, does not stop at accusing
Louis of running out of match
with his fighter, but charges that
Promoter Mike Jacobs is building up
the Brown Bomber out of all pro-
portion to his real fighting worth.
II had no intention of mention
ing my deductions about the build
up they're putting over on Joe
Louis until they deliberately ran out
on match with Feldman," Caplin
said. He can call his shots against
those poor old haS-beens they're
feeding him but not against a young
fighter who knows anything at all
about the art of box fighting"
Louis Getting Setups"
Caplin argued that since Louis
has been under Jacobs promotional
wing he has been fed "setups, has
beens and physically unfit fighters"
Who do they give him?" Caplin
asked. Nobody who is able to fight.
Baer's hands were in no shape for
him to be in the ring. Camera
hasn't been any good since Baer
beat him up. Levinsky's been all
washed up for some time. Retzlaff
has the worst glass chin in the
game. Poor old Pauline has been
through for years. And now they're
protecting him for another soft
touch. Schmeling was knocked out
by Baer two years ago. Hamas beat
him badly in 1884 and Pauline held
him to a draw the same year."
Caplin insists that back in De-
cember Jacobs promised Feldman
bout with Louis at Detroit Jan.
81, and told him not to take any
other matches.
The Forgotten Man
We'll, I keep my man idle wait
ing for this shot," Caplin explains.
And what do they tell me? They
say he wants to go on honeymoon.
But that amt the real reason. I
don't say Feldman would lick Louis,
but guarantee it wouldn't be one
of those one, two or three-round
things"
Feldman, who is "a and weighs
1873, is just the type to make Louis
prove whether he is a ring wizard
or fighter magnified to unworthy
heights because of mediocrity of his
contemporaries, according to little
Hymie.
Feldman was born in Salt Lake
City but reared in New York's De-
lancey-st. He has lost only three
bouts out OF 40 and never been
of his feet. Maxey RoSenbloom,
Bob Goodwin and Charlie Massera
hold decisions over him. His most
notable victories were over John
Henry Lewis, who later won the
light heavyweight title; Hans Birkie,
Eddie Nader, Al Ettore and Steve
Dudas.
