Fights 4 Garcia
Armstrong TO Defend Title

NEW YORK CITY, Aug 1S.-Hammering
Henry Armstrong, only man in all the his
tory of pugilism to win and hold three pugi-
listic titles at the same time, will fight
Ceferino Garcia, the Filipino welterweight
champion in his next public appearance.
Mike Jacobs already is tryin to make this
match, and will hold conference with Eddie
Mead, manager of Armstrong, and the rep
resentative of Garcia today.
Lou Ambers, outraged at what he styles
the most unjust decision ever handed down
in boxing ring, is out with challenge to
Armstrong. Ambers wants to fight the
Negro in back alley or a cellar; anywhere
as long as he fights him.
Armstrong, worn and tired after his
strenuous campaign that has carried him to
three titles within year, is planning rest
for several months. Armstrong said after
the fight that he felt the effects of his recent
labors. His statement was not in the form
of alibi nor excuse for failing to flatten
Ambers.

FERRELL MAKES
DEBUT AS YANK
AGAINST MATS
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Yves Ferrell will chant his hymn
of hate against his former team
mates of the Nationals at Griffith
Stadium today in the first game of
a double header that brings to a
close the current series between
the prospective champions Of the
American League and the local
warriors. Irving Bump" Hadley,
another Washington expatriate,
will pitch the second game for
New York.
Bucky announced today that
Dutch Leonard, master of the
dancing knuckle ball would oppose
Ferrell, while Harry Kelley, turned
back the Boston Red Sox in style
on Sunday, will pitch against
Hadley. If Leonard and Kelley
pitch to their best today, the Ma
tionals will have a fine chance
against the Yankees despite the
fact that the latter right now are
burning up the American League.
The Weather Bureau promises
some relief from the scorching
temperatures Of the past few days.
EAGER TO LEAVE
This is grudge day at the
stadium. Ferrell said publicly
that he was so eager to leave the
Nationals-where he received fair
and regal treatment-that he
gladly would have purchased his
own release. Naturally. those
words burned in the ears of the
local warriors, and today they
plan to make their answer with
base hits. So eager were they
yesterday for the game to begin
that Harris spent no little time on
the bench warning them against
over anxiety at the plate.
Harris pointed out truly that
Ferrell is a smart and tricky
pitcher. He pointed out that if
the Nationals went up lunging
and pressing that they would be
playing Ferrell's own game. So
we can expect a battle with every
man. Ferrell trying to give moth
ing good enough to hit Solidly.
and the batsmen searching for
the pay ball. And unless Ferrell
has completely changed his style
of pitching, that pay ball is going
to come up some time or other.
Joe Mccarthy briefly and clear
ly told his story of signing Ferrell.
He pointed out that he could not
bring up any pitchers from New
ark. The Bears have their play
offs in the International League.
They need their best pitchers
Moreover, while pitchers now may
be advanced from minor leagues
to the majors, they cannot be sent
back. Vance'S sudden illness anc
operation necessitated the signing
of a seasoned pitcher. Wherefore,
Ferrell was sought and signed.

George Washington University
and the University of Maryland
will resume athletic relations on
a major varsity basis this winter.
The teams will clash in a single
basketball game that will be played
at Tech High School gym here on
the afternoon of February %,
George Washington's Birthday,
and the date Of the annual mid.
winter convocation, one Of the big
gest days in the Colonials' aca-
demic year.
LONG LAPSE
The game will mark the first
varsity engagement between the
two institutions, athletically, in 10
years. It was during the season
of 1920 that the Terps and the
Colonials last hooked up in a
varsity game.
Last year the major event on
the G. w. Convocation program
was the installation Of a chapter
of Phi Beta Kappa, the honorary
academic fraternity at George
Washington University.
In addition to the basketball
game between the two schools. the
freshman football teams will clash
this fall in a game to be played at
College Park, Md, Saturday, NO
vember 5. The varsity grid team
has an open date this day, while
the G. w. varsity plays Clemson
at Greenville, s. C. A huge crowd
is expected to attend this tilt.
NO GRID TILTS
Although the George Washing.
ton football schedule is incom-
plete for the 1899 season, the two
schools will not play a varsity foot

is booked solidly through 1910.

Cne recognized ring ClCleS are LII
the possession of negroes.
In winning his third title at
Madison Square Garden last night
on a 15-round decision over Light
weight Champion Lou Ambers,
Armstrong accomplished some
thing that eluded all the men who
have moved through myria d
arenas down through the years.
And he did it with as gallant and
as thrilling performance as any
in the crowd of nearly 10000 has
seen in long, long time.
AMBERS GETS CHEERS
Moreover. he won his third title
within a period of 10 months to
hold now all championships be-
tween 126 and lat pounds as
featherweight, lightweight and
welterweight crownwearer. The
toughest of them all to take was
the one he won last night from
as game and as determined a foe
as any man ever faced. Ambers
just barely fell short of victory
and was superb in defeat. The
cheers actually were his at the
finish and, unjustly the booes,
loud, long and vehement, went to
Armstrong.
The protest rolled through the
Garden from a near capacity
crowd of 1920 spectators who
had paid surprising $102,280 to
witness a show which was a dud
and a flop until rain washed it
out at the Polo Grounds last week
and forced a postponement and
an indoor presentation.
TRIPLE CROWN-WEARER
And thus did Armstrong become
triple crown-wearer and give his
race one more championship, to be
added to the heavyweight title
held by Joe Louis and the light
heavyweight title owned by John
Henry Lewis, leaving only the fly
weight, bantamweight and middle
weight divisions captained by
white fighters.
If Ambers could punch even a
nickel's worth, all that might have
been changed. He might have re-
tanned the championship he cher
ished so highly.
But Ambers, notorious for his
lack of violence, actually didn't
have much to go on, except his
heart and his legs. That fighting
heart of his pulled him up off the
floor twice and caused him to take
the play away from Armstrong to-
ward the close in sharp divergence
from the script which called for
him to wilt. And his legS-mean-
ing his speed and agility stood
him in good stead throughout the

A Holding Company

A government official defined the
holding company as follows: The
holding company may be defined as
any company which, by virtue Of
it's ownership of securities, Is ln
a position to control or substan-
TALLY influence the management Of
one or more other companies; that
is, a holding company is different
from a mere investment company.
An investment company buys Sc

BRIDGE ACROSS
THE DELAWARE.
Congressman Allen IntrOduc-
es Act For Toll Bridge
at Wilmington
COMMITTEE OF FIVE

Representative William F. Allen
introduced bill in the House of
Representatives in Washington
Friday for the creation Of will
mington Bridge Authority to con
struct a bridge across the Della
ware River, with its westerly
terminal in or within ten miles Of
Wilmington The authority would
consist Of five members named in
the bill: George "A. Casey, T. B.
Finkelstein, Thomas Donaldson,
Charles /. Lafferty and Edward J.
Fox. The proposed bridge would
be operated on a toll basis until it
was paid for and thereafter as a
bridge. The authority would have
the right to issue bonds to cover
the costs. Mr.. Casey, president of
the Delaware-New Jersey Bridge
Corporation, has been urging con
Struction of a Delaware River
bridge since 1927 and has opposed
construction of a tunnel The lat
ter was proposed at the last ses-
sion Of the Legislature but failed
Of passage. Proposals for the
bridge in the past have brought
strenuous opposition from Phila-
delphia and legislation to secure
authority for building such a
structure has failed in Congress.
The Philadelphia interests stressed
in their argument that a bridge
would be an impediment, in case
of war, to river traffic between the
ocean and Philadelphia, but did
not oppose tunnel. Mr.. Casey
holds the opposition was aware
that a tunnel was not feasible. +"
However, Philadelphia later fought
the tunnel project, but the U. S.
Engineers approved it, and Will
mington City Council gave it ap-
proval. Construction of a bridge
across the river has not won the
favor Of the War Department in
the past on the ground that it

Mr.. Casey has contended that a
bridge is the most feasible cross

pensive. He fought efforts to pass

w. H. CARR SPEAKS OF
OXFORD. MD.

William H. Carr, of Oxford, Md,
was in town last week for several
days visiting his friends. He came
on Thursday morning, it being the
1st day of March, the day that the
new rate for four cents per mile
went into effect, the first ticket
being issued to him. 1t cost him
by the new tariff SAP to come
from Oxford to Smyrna and re-
turn, the former charge being
1892. He says it has been the
custom very largely for the people
of Oxford to take ride to Easton
to do their shopping, and he never
was on the road before that there
were not passengers for that pur-
pose, but on that morning, and as
it was understood because of the
change, there was not one. He
says that the disposition of the
people is such that while this rate
keeps up they will patronize the
road as little as possible. From
Easton, Oxford, Chestertown and
in fact nearly all the Eastern
Shore towns they can go to Balti-
more by steamboat for $1.0O and
for simple pleasure and shopping
trips it is believed that Baltimore
will hereafter get the main trade
