Davis Fouls His Way

BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Rowdy Al
Davis Of Brooklyn. who gave promise
up to last night Of being . boxing
champion some time soon, is free to-
day to shop around for another
career.
He finished himself as q fighter. in
this State at least, by his exhibition
of fouling against Welterweight
Champion Fritzie Zivic In the Gar
den.
After Referee Billy Cavanagh had
stopped 1t In the second round and
helped the cops carry the kicking,
narling Davis back to his corner.
the three members Of the State
Athletic Commission said indig-
nantly that Bunny" was through
for good in their bailiwick.
Hold Up Davis Coin.
In addition, they held up Davis
end Of the purse.
Davis threw about 10 low blows
into Zivic before Cavanagh stopped
the thing. He had warned Davis
vWANC CdA ACA Al tA4C SCCO1lO xVO11l1,
and between the first and second,
had wagged his finger at him.
Zivic was 80 angry when it ended
that he rushed into Davis and the
pair fought ike alley cats until
police and Garden attendants sepa-
rated them.
Examination afterward showed
that Zivic was bruised badly and
skinned up by the low punches. Da-.
Wis was battered severely about the
face from the beating he took In the
first round.
Davis Clearly Outclassed.
Obviously 1t was no match from
the start. Zivic clouted Davis viz
tually at will, almost flooring him
midway Of the opening round. At
that rate, the Brooklyn boy would
have been in bad shape before the
scheduled 10 rounds were up.
The blows he laid into Zivic once
he got the range were full lefts that
started near the floor and landed
with . clang on the champs pro-
tective gear. The angry crowd Of
1900 was yelling murder long be-
fore the referee acted, and some Of
them still were hanging around the
dressing room an hour later In hopes
Of getting Q punch at Bunny"

BOSTON. Nov. 1870 many
things are at stake in the football

down Is by CHASING them as "strict-

Not quite 50 commercial is the
question Of national ranking. Both
are near the bottom of the countrys
first 10 this week. A decisive victory
it would be "a games without loss
for Georgetown, eight straight this
year for B. C.-would boost the
winner right up with the leaders.
Some of the individuals involved
also have considerable at stake.
Such players as B. C.'s end Gene

and Guard George Kerr have re-
ceived varying degrees of All-Ameri-
ca consideration, as has George

Yet while these, together with
Hoya Backs Julius Koshlap and
Lou Ghecas and B. c. Back Char

the notice. others have the ability
to steal the show. Jack Hagerty,
the Georgetown coach, thinks his
boy, Al Matuza, a center so good he

boys think their right half, Frank

The coaches seem to think it will
be close because Of the stoutness Of

in at tackle. The bookies, who claim
to have handled more on this game
than on any other betting event in
Boston, including presidential cleo
tons, make B. c. the ITO choice.

These cavalrymen were rushed up
to relieve any units of infantry

move rapidly In small detachments

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 30.-Embar-
rassed is the word these days for
Charles Laughton, the star who has
a co-star where he didn't expect one.
AS is his custom, Mr.. Laughton

him in a picture he quantity titled

Continuation Of DR.. George c.
Rutland as health officer of the
District of Columbia was approved
last night in a resolution by the
Kenilworth Citizens Association at
its meeting in the Kenilworth Rec
reation Center.
The group advocated an advisory
council for the District and voted
to incorporate the Federation of Cit
liens Associations. This latter step,
1t was pointed out, will protect the
positions of all members of the
Federation and member bodies. A
discussion on placing the distribu-
ton of fuel oil in the hands of the
Public Utilities Commission was re-
ferred to a committee to work out
a plan.
The chairman of the Public Utili-
ties Committee was delegated to CO.

Co., as agreed on some time ago

benefactor, Dies
Secretive Donor Cove
$l00, 100000; Had Stoff
To Seek Worthy Causes

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30-Edward s.
Hardness, 66, who never made
public speech or gave an interview,
although he donated 100,000,0O0 to
education and health, died last night
of a pancreas infection.
The fortune of Mr.. Harkness, a
native of Cleveland, Ohio, stemmed
from that of his father, Stephen v,
whose early partnership with John
D. Rockefeller, ST., in founding
Standard Oil brought millions to
the family.
He was inherently shy and many
of his philanthropies were kept in
deepest secrecy.
He had been i'll only a few weeks.
At his bedside was his widow, only
close survivor. The couple had no
children.
Funeral to Be Private.
Spokesman for Mrs. Harkness, the
former Mary Stillman, said the
1ullCl al "ouAl NC PIiFoVSs
Mr.. Harkness made almost busi-
ness-but an extremely quiet one
of philanthropy, keeping staff of
secretaries to hunt out new and
deserving outlets for his wealth.
He gave approximately $25,000,000
to Yale University, his alma mater:
nearly $12,0OO,000 to Harvard, SILL
100000 to Columbia, $1,0O0,O00 to the
New York Public Library and small
er sums to scores of smaller colleges
in many States.
With his mother, the former Anna
M. Richardson, he gave 20-acre
tract in Upper Manhattan for the
vast medical center which bears
his name-the Harkness Pavilion.
Mother Gave S30,0O0,0OO
Associates said his bequests, spread
over the vast field Of charity, edu-
cation and civic enterprises, ran
more than 100000, ,00O-all inspired
by philanthropic interests en-
gendered by his mother, who her
self gave away $30,0O0 900.
He was director of the New York
Central Lines, the Southern Pacific
Co. and many more railroad and
transportation companies.
One of his larger gifts was
