FURRY VS.. ABRAMS
ACA|NPOSTPONED
Phil Seen as Benefiting in
Bout Now Scheduled for
Tomorrow Night.

The George Abrams vs. Phil Furr
fight for the District middleweight
title. originally scheduled for a week
ago last night and postponed on ac-
count of rain until tonight, again has
been postponed because of bad weather
and now is slated to be held at Griffith
Stadium tomorrow night.
One of the things that make it diff
cult for fight managers like sgd Fishel
is fight managers like Chris Dundee
sgd is business agent for Abrams and
Dundee handles Furr. sgd is having
his troubles, all because Chris wrote
a little thing like weight requirements
into the fight contract.
1t calls for Abrams to weigh 1853
pounds on the day Of the fight. Geor-
gle just did squeeze down to that fig
ure originally, and now tomorrow the
scaling must be done all over again. It
is not easy to take of poundage twice
within so short time, and Dundee is
gleeful and Fishel is not.
The postponements were a marvel
GUS break for us" said Dundee today.
His lad generally fights as a welter,
SO the matter of making middleweight
poundage does not worry him. "Furr
is in great shape he added, "and
will knock out Abrams"
The boys are fighting for something
besides the District of Columbia mid
dleweight championship. Furr was
quite popular here before he went on
tour Now he is back to find Abrams
spotlighted. so Phil Is out to regain
his old standing as a gate puller.
The l9-year-old Abrams, little over
q year in the professional game, has
shown himself to be quite a boxer. and
seemingly needs only sitter punch
and experience to go far. Reports
from his camp say he has developed
a 1ethal right.
Furr. on the other hand. has proved
he has a wallop and the 10 or IL
pounds difference in weight does not
bother him. He has had lot of ex-
perience against tough fighters. Phil
is ranked eighth in the N. B. A. well
terweight scale and holds the District
welter title.
The supporting card tomorrow in
cludes three six-round bouts and a
four-rounder. the latter to start at
$50. Kid HOWE. District colored well
terweight champion. takes on Jimmie
Street of New York, another chocolate
colored boxer; Buddy Thomas of

It's fun fishing for, catfish. and
few places are there more or larger
ones than in our own Potomac River.
When the water gets muddy. as it
too often does. black bass will stop
feeding, but the cats 60 on Recently
a few anglers in the river above Wash
ington have discovered the sport of
catching them on flies, and here Is
how it is DONE
The fly is cast cross-current and
allowed to float downstream. Work
the lure in slowly. just enough to
keep it OF bottom. or even let it drag
bottom on occasion. When the fish
strikes it sometimes will put up a
better fight than a bass and does not
give up and come out when given the
butt, but will stay down there and
pull.
Pound for pound the bass
generally IS about Is per cent
better fighter, but as cats grow
larger the ratio Is about even.
Flies used should have contrasting
colOrS, Sucn as the Silver Doctor,
Grizzly King and others of that ma
ture. They do not 60 for red as much
as do bass, and Col Fuller Is n. e.
They live and feed about the same
as bass. under rocks and logs. and
often when fly fishing in the upper
river a mixed catch will result.
Season Opens Friday.
Friday the season for black. bass
in Maryland will be open above tide

Marath0ners Blast athletic Heart MYTH
BEDS, NOT FIELDS,
NAIL ROAD TEAMS
Fanfest of Coaches Brings
Out Other Little Known
Interesting Bits.
By LAWRENCE PERRY,

Athletic heart" is q myth The
reason why home team is likely to
do better at home than in foreign
arenas has nothing whatever to dc
with the fields or with the environ
ment The heart Of a marathon
runner becomes smaller, not enlarged
while running his IS miles.
The above facts and many others
OF more technical interest were culled
from a recent gathering Of coache.
and trainers at Princeton.
Bernie Wefers quoted Dr. H. L
Smith of the Mayo Clinic to the ef.
feet that X-ray examinations of the
hearts of both athletes and animals
taken Immediately after exercise to
the point of exhaustion showed the
organ to be smaller than normal ra-
ther than larger.
Field Makes No Difference.
In view of the theory, long held
that strenuous exercise is likely to
cause a hypertrophied heart. every
one IN the group evinced great in
terest.
1t seems that study of this matter
has been pretty thorough here and
abroad and that the only class of men
given to arduous and continued ply
sical endeavor whose hearts in a
slight majority of cases show en-
lareement are jinriksha pullers.
Every one. however, agreed with Mat
ty Gels, Princetons great coach, in
asserting he would continue to hold
to the advice he annually gives his
graduating athletes to continue their
exercise in increasingly modified form
a. they trend toward middle years.
AS to the advantages of the home
held for team or individual, Albert
Mccall, Muhlenberg track coach and
general trainer, said the field, If it
was q normally well prepared field
made no difference at all so far as
performance was concerned.
Strange Bed Disconcerts.
1T is the bed that makes all the
difference" he said. And that makes
lot of difference. You all know
that you are never 50 comfortable as
In your own downy couch. No mat
ter how good another couch may be.
1t is not yours-you are not used to
1t. With an athlete this is very
likely to make a great difference not
only in his mental attitude toward
competition, but in his subsequent per-
formance"
Bill Bingham of Harvard. a great
runner in his day, was absolutely
agreed. although the thought never
occurred to me before"
There isn't any doubt" said Harry
Mahnken. that Mccall is right. So
l suppose the next athletic innova-
tion will be for a coach to include
his athletes beds as an essential part
OF going away equipment"

JUDGES MUST BE KEPT CLEAR OF POLITICS

So far as it is humanity possible, under the con-
ditions of democratic organization, Judges are as
a class supposed to be removed from political In
fuence, to be guided by principle and not by SEN
timent or passion, and habitually to adhere to the
requirements of the law in conscientious en-
deavor to ascertain and apply them.
This tradition should be cherished and not weak
ened by disparagng the institutions which embody
it,. >-' "-..
Judicial work also has the advantage that those
who are responsible for its results are identified
The judge who decides stands before the public as
responsible for the decision.
The community cannot afford to depfeciate these
accepted standards or to ignore the processes by
which they are maintained.
Administrative agencies which we earnestly de-
sire to succeed in discharging their independent
tasks according to the basic requirements of their
authority viii achieve that end to the extent that
they perform their work with the recognized re-
sponsibility which attaches to judges and with the
impartiality and independence which is associated
with the judicial office:
Deliberation, fairness, conscientious appraisal OF
evidence, determinations according to the facts
and the impartial application of the law, whether
the controversies are decided in the courts or in
administrative trihunais--these are the safeguards
of society.
For the law is aught but words, save as the law
is administered.
We cannot change human nature. We cannot
expect perfection in the discharge of duty either
in or out of courts.
- But if we hold strongly to our standards defects
win gradually be remedied, delinquencies will be
suitably rebuked, and the democratic ideal demand
ing equal Justice under law will be more fully at
tained.-United States News - -
