$20 weekly, and that MT. Moore works on commission.
 Equipment Gone
 Office equipment which was originally in the Office Supply com- pany is now in the Office Equip ment company, according to MT. Palmer. It was taken out of the Office Supply company by Jack Barry of Boston, a representative of the Artmetal company, from which concern it was on consignment.
 Attorney Finkelstein charged that although MT. Palmer knew the bad status of the company at Christ mas time he gave the usual Christ mas presents to the employees, amounting to $190. -ncluded in this was $10O to Miss Cozza. There was also a check for $50 to MT. Palmer but he denied that was Christmas present.
 In questioning MT. Palmer, Attor- ney Finkelstein proceeded:
 You were salesman for the company"
 "Yes," was the asWer.
 "What kind of a car did you driver"
 MT. Palmer answered and said the car was registered in his own name.
 o. Where is the car now?" A. q sold it to Miss Cozza." Q. "When?"
 A. "Just before the bankruptcy petition was filed" MT. Palmer also offered the information that he sold it for $450, and that the car was free of obligations. He also admitted that he is using the car at the pres ent time in his business activities and that he has not paid Miss Cozza for the use of it. T have agreed to pay her later when things get strengthened out" he said. A note, overdue on the car, will be paid tomorrow either by himself or by Miss Cozza, he said. MT. Palmer said that the equip ment taken out of his office by the Artmetal company was valued at about $4O0 or $50O It was removed two days before the petition was filed.
 Did you know you were going into bankruptcy when the equip ment was removed" asked MT. Fin kelstein.
 "Yes," answered MT. Palmer.
 Attorney Finkelstein then charged that the equipment should have been left there for the bankruptcy referee to decide its disposition. At torney J. Gregory Lynch, appearing for the company, stated that the equipment was on assignment and MT. Palmer could not stop the com- pany from taking it out.
 MT. Palmer told the questioner that MT. Pease supplied all the money when the corporation was taken over in 1884. Carl D. Olsen was the original chief stockholder At a meeting of the creditors in ! New York prior to the bankruptcy procedure, MT. Palmer admitted that the liabilities of the concern were $12,600 and that the assets were $4,300 including the $1,7O0 he owed the corporation.

Futile revealed that George Whitney, a brother of Richard and a partner in J. P. Morgan and company, had begged to be allowed to stand be- side him for the sentencing.
 "But Richard Whitney" Futile said, told his brother that he wanted to be alone at this moment. That is why George Whitney at this moment is with his brothers wife and children in their l.our of grief. "
 The former bond broker gripped the rail in front of the judges bench with both hands as he lis tened to his attorney.
 Ready To Take It
 Judge Bohan craned his neck back against his chair during the lengthy speech by Futile who sad that his client had come to court to Ldke lL IlBllI UCtWCCli OliO SJCo' When Futile had finished, Judge Bohan leaned forward and said:
 "Richard Whitney, you have pleaded guilty to two indictments charging first degree larceny. You have no previous criminal record, but it is apparent that your mis- conduct has extended over period of six years. As a result you were caught to use your own words, like a rat in trap
 q therefore sentence you to an indeterminate term of five to 10 years in prison on the first indict- ment and five to 10 years on the second indictment, the terms to run concurrently."
 Whitney swallowed, but there was no change in the expression on his face. A court attendant tapped him on the arm. The broker picked up the blue overcoat which he had put across the rail and with his other hand reached for a. light grey felt hat. The attendant took him down one side of the court room, through a door, and across the Bridge of Signs that connects General Ses- sions Court building with Tombs prison.

 Split Is Much Wider
 While the Republican press waxed jubilant over the apparent defeat of forces committed to Mayor Mo- Levy, it was evident from Ne pro test" and from the statement of State Chairman Benjamin E. Har- wood, who remarked that the party would put complete ticket in the feld," that the split has gone be- yond mere factionalism between various groups. Many Republicans are resigned to McLevy as the only candidate who can give the party reasonable assurance of success this fall
 No Grand Jury Support
 Fact of the diSfavor with which the Waterbury delegation was re- garded was the defeat of the reso- lution which sought to have the convention go on record as sup porting the activities of the grand jury investigations now in prog ress," the Waterbury investigation and the Merritt Parkway land deal affair. Evidence of the potency of the Fairfield county alliance was shown here and the Waterbury dele gation was officially black listed so far as taking any important part in future of the party this fall is concerned.

 Chairman Upson contributed only the report of a committee on resolutions, which tabled the anti coalition resolution of some Bridge port delegates calling for guberna- torial candidate who would be "a prominent registered Republican, of unquestioned character" and, "es- sentially a man of the people" This was explained as an attempt to eliminate the possible candidacy of McLevy, although the Bridgeport mayor was not mentioned by name

dent for other colleges and he ex-
presses the fear all college sports
in the District may eventually fall
under control of an "outside" body
should the present Setup be con-
tinued.
While Berman interpreted the
action of the subcommittee as an
augury of victory for the college
forces, Major Brown said today he
was unworried since he expected
the subcommittee to approve the
measure" The Randolph bill
thinks Major Brown, will have
difficulty passing the House when
the commissions objections are
weighed.
The commission reluctance to
give up Jurisdiction over college
boxing stems from the desire to
keep the sport on its same high
level 1t has enjoyed since boxing
was legalized in 1884, its repre-
Sentatives say. The strict super.
vision maintained over the sport
here, the commission insists, is
proof that contestants enjoy as
much protection, if not more, than
any college could possibly give.
Aligned with the commission is

Wood and Springer are port

Weidinger led the Terp hurlers
last year with a record Of five
victories against no defeats.
Wood captured four games against
two setbackS, and Dale Patterson,
since graduated, turned in three
victories against one defeat.
Interest is high among the

Maryland should reach a new high

StY1nie Rule Clarified
Bv New U.S.G.A.Decree
Confusion Over
EdiCts Causes
Changes
BY BOB ADDIE

The United States Golf Associa.
ton today announced several
minor changes in the rules gov,
erning the stymie, the addition
of scores in stroke play and the
limitation of clubs.
The stymie rule, adopted for a
one-year trial period on January
z, 1888, originally stated that
; hen the balls lie within six inches
of each other on the putting
green, or when the nearer ball lies
within six inches of the hole, the
ball lying nearer the hole may be
lifted. The change in this rule
now specifically requires that
both balls be on the putting green.
CONFUSION CLEARED
Some question was raised
whether the ball nearer the hole
might be removed regardless Of
the position of the other ball. The
change eliminates doubt on this
point.
The executive committee of the
u. S. G. A. also decided to clarity
the rule regarding marking and
addition of scores in stroke play.
A footnote to the stroke rule has
been added, making the competi-
tor solely responsible for the cor
rectness of the score reported for
each hole and the marker reSpon-
sible for the addition of the score
reported on the card.
AS the rule stood, no alteration
could be made on any card after
it had been returned. If it was
found that a competitor had re-
turned a score lower than that
actually played, he would be dis
qualified. The penalty now only
applies to the competitor whose
score was returned incorrectly
and does not apply to the COM
petitor who acted as marker.
RULE CLARIFIED
The 14-club limit rule also has
been confusing, according to the
q. s. G. A. One provision of that
rule states a competitor may re-
place q club which becomes unfit
for play and may add any club as
long as he does not exceed the
limit Of IA and does not borrow
from an opponent or partner.
Golfers Immediately aske d
whether a player in replacing a
club that he deemed unfit had to
make the replacement identical
with the discarded club. The U.
S. G. A. decided to allow the
player to replace the unfit club
with any he desires provided, of
course, the bag limit is still "A.

came to Abrams last night and the
question facing the young District
middleweight is whether he can
shake off the experience of a
knockout. George met his first
defeat the hard way. For II fights
he has been pyramiding that win

Jones wrecked that record like he
has wrecked a lot of other fighters.

scurity. The question is: Can
Abrams come back? George thinks
he can. He's sure he won't be
gun-shy because he doesn't even
remember the knockout.
ABRAMS LEADING
George was far ahead on points
until the fifth round when Jones
caught him with right hook flush
on the chin. Abrams head rolled
back, his eyes looked coated with
cellophane. AS he backed away
from Jones, George dropped his
guard and Jimmy applied the
finiSher-a right on the button.
Abrams dropped on his back. his
eyes were closed and his hands
stretched out Imply. There was
no need for count. He was stiff.
Jones generously said after the
fight that Abrams was really a
great prospect.
1--WE fought 'em ALL" Jimmy
said, land this kid really has some
thing. He did fine for II bouts.
I'm washed up but you should
see my brother"
"KID" BROTHER WINS
Jimmy was referring to the
other half of the family, Ivan
Nedomatsky, who defeated El
Brookman in the semifinal. Brook
man was also overmatched but
he fought gamely. The first punch
that Ned threw, a right hook,
floored Brookman. Another left
put EI down for nine again but
he weathered h furry of
punches. Brookman was down
again in the second and took a
terrific hammering although he
made Ivan look really terrible at
times. AS we saw it, Brookman
made the mistake of trying to slug
with Ivan and that just isn't being
done.
The former Maryland Univer.
sity star has some mighty Seige
guns and he mixes his attack well.
His victory over Brookman was
his tenth in as many starts.
In another six, Carl Dell won a
disputed decision over Sammy Ba
Gala. Carl had lots of class but
Sammy came back like a wrong
