Police, describing the killing of
Mrs. GrimSley as one of the most
brutal on local crime records, said
she apparently had been hit re-
peated hard blows on the head with
heavy weapon-possibly a crowbar
or similar instrument.
Mrs. Grimsley has lived in virtual
seclusion for the past 20 years
with her sister in the downtown
home where she was born. Her
daily morning trip to church with
her sister was one of her few out

This morning, her sister report

A check-up later disclosed nothing

- Several stubs of burnt matches
were found on the floor of the
room.
After Mrs. GrimSley was slugged
to death in bed, the slayer appar-

on the bedspread. Blood was spat-
tered throughout the room, and the
assailant left a slight trail OF blood
outside the room when he fled,
police said.

UNITED Press stan Correspondent
New York, Jan. 20-(UP) Rarely
do we smear our mill with honey
and 60 all out in praise Of any one
connected with sports. But cir"
cumstances force US to do that very
thing today when we consider the
announcement that Ned Irish has
been made president Of Madison
Square Garden.
This sudden elevation Of irish
means that Che Garden at last has
o red-hot sports fan at its helm. IT
means that the NO. ! basketball fan
Of America is directing the destinies
Of the House that Tex Rickard
built"
irish, a middle sized, pink .
checked, seini-bald chap who once
was a sports writer, has been ele-
waited to this coveted position for
three major reasons "a his shrewd-
ness gave to the Garden a new and
lucrative sport-basketball; (2 he
displayed organizing and publicity
genius in selling basketball to the
public, and (3) the former Garden
president, Brig. Gen. John Reed
Fitzpatrick, apparently Is in service
for the duration.
Big Idea
irish, SO, youngest president OF
the Garden, has been promoting
basketball at the Garden since 1884,
when, as q sports-writer on the
New York World Telegram, he
ankled into the Garden board room
and sold the skeptical ofacials on
the idea Of staging hoop games In
the Garden.
Ned's suggestion, somewhat re-
luctantly accepted, and his organic
ing ability brought big.time basket
bali to the Garden, and the crowds
increased each year until last sea-
son O total Of 247, 02S fans sat in on
II double headers at the Garden.
And judged by the first nine basket
shows staged this season, the at
tendance total will approach $780,

Jackets stayed in excellent condition
because Of the exacting physical
exertions that were part Of their
daily labors. That tradition Of
fitness has continued in the United
States Navy without any genuine
analysis ever having been made as
to Its actually. The physical hard
ships Of the Gobs and officers OF
the past are not found in the daily
life Of the officers and men OF Our
second World War Navy. The only
exercises in which the men and of
ficers participate up to 1910 were
long hikes and climbs. This was
true until the All Navy Order No
100 on october IS, 1910. The Navy
has had various athletic teams play
ing baseball, football, etc.; but
these activities have been more on
the recreational side than for con-
ditioning.
The Navy, Is trying to democra-
tie sports and therefore liberalize
physical fitness. The Navy is not
Interested in bringing out the indi-
vidual skill of the bluejacket up to
an Admiral, but 1t wants to bring
these men to their height Of physi-
cal perfection. When we set out
to bring these men to the peak OF
physical perfection there were nc
facilities, equipment or instructors
The instructors were lacking be-
cause of an executive order, which
prohibited the training Of Naval
Personnel be Civilian Instructors
as was done in the last war. So
our first job was to locate these
instructors, and then get an order
to enroll them in the Navy.
It was believed that II the Navy
could enroll q number of competent
young men with degrees in physi-
cal education from accredited coll
leges, that a good start could be
made. Accordingly small num-
SeS Of these men were enrolled to
assist Lieut.. Commander Eddie
Mahan of Harvard football fame, IN
introducing a new physical fitness
program for the young cadets who
were Just opening the new All
Training school at Jacksonville
This worked out very well. The
Chief of the Bureau then ordered
IL more for the Norfolk Training
Station.
The accomplishments of the first
group was startling. The recruits
that participated not only increased
in strength one third but mentally
nine per cent. This was very en-
couyaging.
soon the number of instructors
was practically doubled and 1t wal
decided by the ones IN charge Of
this fast growing program that thess
instructors would be given due RAM
and authority TO merit their col
lege degree and training. 1t wal
decided to give them the rank Of
Chief BoatsWain's Mates. This u
