fighter to return after learning Sat-
urday that he had gone to Flint.
The commissioners said they doubt
ed Laporte's story and at the time
took no action other than to warn
him he would be suspended II there
was anything suspicious about the
fight.
With 900 fans looking on, all went
well through five rounds. the vet

him before he reached Laporte. As

Has Six Miles Under 4:l0.

Has Six Miles Under 4:l0.
RETWEEN those two races lie five
years of great foot racing. The
silent young fellow. who had repre-
sented the United States at Los Angeles
at the 1882 Olympics, has become
one of the great sport figures of the
decade. He has 18 miles under AIS
and s under 4l0 to his credit and
has been leading figure in a golden
age Of mile racing that has chopped
almost three seconds of the record
Jules Ladoumegue set in 1881.
Cunningham has set world records
in the mile, outdoors and indoors,
1,500 meters indoors, 1000 yards out
doors and indoors and an American
record at three-quarters of mile
Oddly enough the record he priced
most, his outdoor mile of 4:06.7, which
seemed inviolate. was cracked last
summer by Stanley Wooersen of Eng
land, who ran the distance In 1905.
One of Strongest Runners.
Glenn is one of the strongest run
ners of track history. even though
his legs we're badly burned in a school,
house fire when he was years old.
1t was Kansas boyhood-with cows
to milk, wood to chop, wheat to
harvest and other farm tasks-that
built his phenomenal endurance.
The Kansan is not a stylist in run
ming form, although his method is
sound. He has the erect style and
high arm carry of the Films and his
stride is deceptive, being longer than
it appears.
One of the ablest judges of pace in
modern track, Cunningham once ran
mile in 4:l1.l in which his fractional
times were SO for the first quarter,
62.5 for the two middle quarters
and 63.1 for the final quarter. When
he ran his record-breaking outdoor
mile at Princeton he did 61S. 64.5,
61.8, 59.1 for quarterly times.
Glenn has little of Jack Lovelock's
jauntiness, Bill Bonthron's good looks
or Billy Cars beautiful style to win
the crowds. His fame has been built
upon q solid foundation of great races
not only from standpoint of time
but from his willingness as q COM
petitor.
He just keeps rollin'.

New Capita! Garden Project Not to Affect c. Arena Plan
PRO SPORTS PROMOTION
ISAIM OFULINE CONCERN
Northeast Plant, Equipped for Ice Hockey, Apt to
Be Completed by Fall -Colonials Will Build
for Physical Education Purposes.

by the downtown university which is
building its sports plant primarily for
the physical education program Of its
students. In q sense the proposed
plant would be Washington's Madison
Square Garden, available for many
projects. There would be IS, 900 square
feet Of floor space for conventions and
exhibits.
Plant for Many Sports.
IT ALSO seems logical to assume that
big professional prize nights and
wrestling matches would be held at
the Garden. Although George Wash
ington may enter the field of collegiate
boxing and wrestling, it hardly seems
likely that the school would turn It's
facilities over to the pro ring.
Incorporated under the laws of the
State of Delaware on November 10,
1887, the Capital Garden Corp. lists
Cornelius H. Doherty and Thomas r.
Cowherd as directors. Fred Mesmer,
basket ball coach at Georgetown Uni
versity connected with Mr.. Doherty's s
low firm, and Frank Wilson also are
listed as promoters. Stanley j. Wilson
was the civil engineer who drew up
the plans.
Although most of the stock is ex-
pected to be taken up by local sports
men and business firms, it will be
available to the public.
And because all of the three leaders
connected with the project are gen.
tlemen beyond the needs of promo
tional schemes for the sake of making
money, it will be conducted on a
strict business non-proflt- lt-making sys-
tenn
Financial backing of the enterprise
is understood to be assured already.
Won't Affect G. w. Project.
REFORE leaving for his sabbatical
vacation tomorrow, Jim Pixlee
said that the new proposal would not
affect G. w. in any way. Two-thirds
Of the schools sports arena was
deemed necessary for the physical
education program alone and, accord
ing to Pixlee, there was no reason
not to spend another third as much
and build plant for all sports.
The George Washington project
will cost $5c0.000 and is expected to
seat from $4,000 to 10000 spectators.
Because it now uses the Tech gymn
for basket ball there would seem to
be little reason for the Colonials not
using the Gardens rink should they
put hockey team on the ice.
1t is possible that G. w. will not
start its gym until the Garden project
is completed.

Congress held daily sessions-or
pretended to hold them. But 1t was
