HOME FOR BOXERS OF FORMER DAYS
 IS BEING URGED

SEATTLE, March l4.-The recent Maryland Athletic Commission pro- posal to establish a home for brok- en down prize fighters may gain some support in the Pacific North west.
 A group of former fighters re- gently incorporated an organization similar to that now existing for former baseball players.
 Eddie Pinkham, two decade ago one of the best lightwights on the Pacific Coast. is pushing the pro- pcsal. His group would set dues to be collected from active and re- tired fighters, the money going to help those ringmen in distress.
 Pinkman and his associates also are flirting with an idea of regis tering fighters in such manner that those not in shape to fight will be kept off cards.
 This will not only be a protec- tion to the fighter, but also to the promoter and the customers, Pinkman says.

 of which he has gained some what surprising interest in for eien affairs.
 He is as isolationist as Senator Johnson of California but his particular skill is in cross exam- ming those members of the Sen- ate who are whooping it up for giving the United States a big voice and a measure of participa- ton in world politics.
 He fought revision of the neu- trality bill, declaring it gave the President too many ways to evade any obligation to keep the nation out of foreign wars. Japan and China presented a case in point at the time The Finnish af- fair had not yet started.
 But when the proposal for the Finnish loan came along, he at- tackled that, and introduced a res- olution to have Congress recog- nize the Russian attack on Fin land as real war. That would have squashed the Finnish loan, of course, which was what he had set out to do. Better by far, he | said, to keep hands off than to give Russia valid grounds for a nasty relationship with the United States down through the years.
 Moreover, he said, the Neu- trality Act would put at least some restrictions upon Russian purchases of war materials in the United States. During 1889 Rus- sia bought $56,638,0 900 in goods here, 70 percent of which was made up of metal working ma- chimes, lathes and such, iron n-al- Joys, copper, aircraft and petro- lem products. Danaher drew an admission from the Secretary of State that Finland was already prohibited area for U. s. ships since the Baltic Sea had been de- clared a combat zone under the Neutrality Act.
 Danaher is barely over the edge of 40, with boyish face in- escapably reminiscent of a kew pie, but he is just about 100 per- cent embodiment of the spirit of let -Erope- -fight-its- -own-wars.

EAST LANSING, Mich, March l4.--Most coaches complain because their players sometimes fall down enthusiastically and become ineligible.
 Coach John Kobs of the Michi- gan State baseball team has re- verse situation-he's lost a ball player because the athlete was too smart.
 George Stark, senior catcher from Detroit, Mich, heard of job in the offing and applied himself so arduously to his books that he graduated six months ahead of his class-and left Kobs without a catcher.
