 It may be that business interests in Minneapolis and the long friend- ship with his present boss prompted Donie Bush to reject the Boston Bees managerial offer. But one wonders if MT. Bush didn't talk himself right out of the job. =.
 At any rate, the pint-sized Amer lean Association Pilot (He's feet 6 and weighs less than i50) stuck his neck out when he announced prematurely that "the Boston job is mine If I say the word" .. This advance popping eff undoubtedly annoyed Bob quinn TO end. The Bees proxy is the type of gentle- man who prefers to make his own announcements. .. particularly when they concern his own club. . And you can hardly blame him
 Of course, 1t may not be 50, but 1t wouldn't be surprising If Quinn withdrew the offer after Bush talk cd. One way or the other, the Boston job is still open. And the guessing game resumes all of which makes life 50 much more in-

Rainy weather kept the attendance down to about 760 fans, who saw plenty of action, though some bouts had to be stopped for various req sons. However, the show finished up in excellent fashion, Dula Kovach of Naugatuck being uable to take few shots to the stomach from the mits of Big Boy Covelli of Hart- ford who got Q TKO decision In the second heat when Referee Kid Kap- Ian sent Kovach to his corner.

 Coaches probably tell their boys Q different story, in those sacrd mos ments in the dressing room hide- away. But, working on the assump- ton that quite @ few college foot ball players can read and write, I don't see how this deception can be anything but confusing. It's @ wora- der to see that the members of . team, after losing game, haven't met the coaches disappointment with some such remark as this.
 why, coach, why are you 50 bluep Didn't VIC read in the Banner Gazette yesterday where you told 0 sportswriter that we were young, in- experienced, and light, and didn't have more than an outside chance to win. You should be happy that we held down the score to six touch- downs"
 I fell to thinking along thers lines yesterday when, with my hair fresh- iy combed and slicked back, and pad and pencil poised, I interviewed Bernie Moore of Louisiana State university and Ray Morrison of Vanderbilt, whose teams meet here to-day in one of the countrys most important games.
 You would think that these coaches would be bristling with op- timism. Moore's L. s. U. team has licked four tough opponents 50 far this season-Florida, Texas, Missis- sippi, and Rice-without having c point scored against 1t. Moreover, the L. s. U. boys have won 22 out of 24 games they have played un- der Moore, have won l3 consecutive Southeastern Conference games, and two successive conference titles.
 But Brother Moore twice had to borrow my handkerchief to brush the moisture from his eyes as he talked of his teams chances against vandy. You would think thy were the Giants going up against the Tanks.
 Brother Morrison, who always wins his share of ball games, was just as bad. He could see no hope, despite the fact that Vanderbilt has yet to be beaten or tied this season. He could see only ruin for his team. would hate to talk to the r.essrs. Moore and Morrison when they real- ly had weak teams, instead of being ct the head of two clubs with per- feet records. Tn such Q situation 1t really would tear the heart from e man to talk with them. ..
 Despite the fact that two such lawful" teams are going to play, more than 10000 customers will be in the stands at the kickoff. Maybe this is c tip.off that the citizenry has learned to, take c coach's pre-. battle statement with enough salt to sprinkle on the tails of every Tyre bird in existence.

MD. ASSEMBLY
ENDS 'CL|NCH'
ON RELIEF

ANNAPOLIS, April 6.-With
an agreement reached between
House and Senate conferees after
q deadlock of several hours, and
after the clock in the Capitol had
been stopped to prevent the Ses-
sion of the legislature ending at
midnight as required by law, the
legislative program has been COM
pleted, and it is expected adjourn
1nent will come at any time.
The senate passed a relief bill
calling for expenditure of $5.062,-
900 a year. The house demanded
that the State board Of aids and
charities be allowed to allocate
funds on the basis of community
needs rather than population, and
the Senate conferees later give
in on this point.
The senate passed an $4,000, 900
bond issue for improvements, and
the house passed an amendment to
this calling for an additional $780,.
900.
In conference it was finally
agreed to add 100000 to the
measure for Morgan College on
the Eastern Shore and $4,000 to
construct State armory at Den
ton.
There was wild excitement dur
ing the night, with a fist fight
in the corridor outside the SEN
ate chamber, as legislators, who
recently delayed action to at
tend q burlesque and beer party
in Baltimore as guests Of the
brewery lobby, sought desperately
to Jam through last-minute leg
iSlation.
The fight was between Senator
James B. Latimer, Ga (R), of
Calvert county, and John Wright
Williams, former Democratic
member of the house from that
county.
Williams was waiting outside
the Senate chamber door, and
when Senator Latimer came out
engaged him in an argument over
a local bill.
Witnesses said Williams, a
younger man, passed a fighting
word" and Senator La inner
swung, hitting him on the jaw.
Bystanders stopped the fight.
Meanwhile midnight, the legal
end Of the session, had come, but
the clock was stopped and turned
back.
In the closing hours a bill was
passed calling for a $1,000, 900
bond issue for construction Of a
state office building in Annapolis.
Under terms of the relief bill,
bookmaking will be legalized in
the State. The bill sets up the
State comptroller as Gear" Of the
bookies, and establishes regula-
lions under which they will be
allowed to operate and the license
fees they must pay.
Another measure, introduced by
Miss Ruth E. Shoemaker, Demo
cratic member OF the house from
Montgomery county, makes it IL
legal to throw firecrackers at or
from a moving vehicle. and pro
Vides o $25 fine for the offenSe.
