Turner Wins Praise
Of Boxing Officials,
Receives Dates
D. c. Board Practically
Slams Door on Others
Seeking Licenses

Joe Turner threw a luncheon for
press, radio and members of the
Boxing Commission yesterday and
got a fusillade of whacks on the
back-in addition to plate of
scorched smelts for his trouble.
The commissioners, Maj. Ernest
w. Brown, Thomas Morgan. jr., and
Claude Owen, not only praised Joe S
persevering efforts to keep the sport
alive despite severe financial set
backs. but just about slammed the
door in the face of future prospec-
tive promoters. Fly-by-night pro-
motions were denounced as detri-
mental to the best interests of the
game, and it was indicated that
applicants for licenses will have to
prove not only financial solvency
but a firm purpose of staying in the
business for more than one show.
Turner was granted a license to
promote the joey Archibald-Harr
Jeffra featherweight match at
Uline Arena February 18. in addi-
ton to receiving a permit to stage
a show February II. This last date
also had been requested by Ray
Alvis, who hoped to bring George
Abrams against Cocoa Kid in a
return match. The commission
ruled Turner had submitted his re-
quest first.

Hockey Eagles Burns
Is Threatening Two
Scoring Marks
League Point and Goal
Records Are Likely
For CopitoI Stor

With his sights set on two new
league scoring records, Norman
Burns will paddle the puck even
more enthusiastically than he has in
previous matches tomorrow night
when the Washington Eagles cross
sticks with the New York Rovers in
an Eastern Amateur Hockey League
match at Riverside Stadium.
Scoring records reveal that the
clever Eagle center has AZ goals and
IS assists to his credit, a compara-
lively comfortable margin of 8
points over his nearest rival. Sammy
Fasano of Atlantic City. At this
blistering pace Burns we'll may sur
pass the all-time league mark OF
l0l points hung up by Alb Ceilings
of the Rovers. He is regarded as a
clnch to smash Norm Calladine'S
goals-scored mark of 53
Burns Not Letting Up.
Whether Burns can crack the twin
records is conjectural but he has
shown no disposition to let up on
his harassed opponents goalies and
is an odds-on choice to accomplish
the feat.
Meanwhile, Coach Redvers Mac
kenzie is giving his two goalies, Cor
don Hemming and Les Colvin, much
Of the credit for the Eagles sensa-
tlonal winning streak of seven
straight games. Hemming is the lad
who played havoc with the Eagles
scoring last year when he tended
goal for River Vale. and Colvin has
improved to the point where he can
step into the lineup at any time
without weakening the team.
New York will show a new goalie
tomorrow in the person of Reggie
Haggerty, formerly of the Cornwall
Club of Montreal, and will be fur
ther bolstered by the return of Bob
Brownridge. Julian Sawchuck and
frankie Parker, all of whom have
been on the sideline with injuries.

Ten per cent of tomorrow nights
gate receipts will be donated to the

Special Correspondent OF The Star.

NEW YORK, Jan. % (N.ANAO
When a mysterious character named
Axiotis, or Axiote, pumped five
bullets into a German general staff
officer in Bucharest. Rumania. this
week. he seems to have touched off
a keg of powder on the dark and
bloody ground of the Balkans.
StraightWay things began to pop
in Rumania. According to reports,
the killing of the German officer, one
Mai. Doehring, was followed by
series of sharp outbreaks by Iron
Guardists and Communists against
the grip which NaziS fastened upon
all of Rumania last month.
What will come. or has come, of
this uprising never may be known
outside the borders of King
Michael's seething domain. for anti
Nazi demonstrations on the con-
tinent of Europe are muffied quickly
in a quilt of silence. Still, the name
of AXiote. "a former Greek boxer"
meant something to men in the
fight racket in America. To them,
the news of his performance was
like the brief fare of match in
the darkness.
