ChmieIewski Vs Ryan At Boston

Boston, Nov. 2-CUP)-Henry Chmielewski, hard punching Port land, Me, Pole, battles Irish Johnny Ryan of Detroit tonight in a 10- round middleweight battle that is expected to draw $500 fistic fans to Mechanics building.
 Odds on the fight were nine to ten and take your choice-the vet eran Chmielewski or the youthful and aggressive Ryan.
 A former Olympic titlist and will ing performer, Chmielewski will be making his first start here since last spring when an eye injury forced the halting of his title match with New England middleweight champion Coley Welch.
 Farewell
 Now 28 years old and shipyard worker who finds scant time to train Chmielewski apparently is making final tour of the boxing circuit before hanging up his gloves. He has severed relations with the veteran manager Harry Kelley who has piloted him since he reached here from Poland in 1888, and in his first match under his own super vision defeated Larney Moore of Hampstead, L. T., at Holyoke.
 Ryan at g, is a Ikely-looking prospect from the same stable as the good Jake La Motta, whom he once served as a sparring partner. However, Manager Mike Capriano believed he had future in the middleweight ranks and since then has kept Ryan and Lamotta apart.
 In three fights in New England Ryan has come out on top and there are some who think his speed and youth may GAE1y hin pAut

had hand in the execution of what would have been the decid- ing play. As a matter of fact, a play isn't perfect whe nsome one is off side or holds, whether or not he has a hand in it.
 While Notre Dame lived up to it's reputation by coming from behind in the final period, that 1877 squeeze in Champaign deflated the Irish no little. They were decidedly out played, outrushed almost three to one and required the help of a fum- ble on the Illinois 16 to get their first touchdown.
 Illinois, outmanned somewhat, employed two reserve backs the greater part of the second half, which dazed Buddy Young sat out. Eddie Bray, another speedster, per- formed only briefly because he is nursing a knee injury.
 I look for Notre Dame to lose to both Navy and Army. The service schools have everything in their favor-numbers, size, experience.
 Army's strength is confined en- tirely to the ground, however, around the Hanks and inside. They have no passing to speak of. Doug Kenna, Tom Lombardo and Glenn Davis do what pitching is done. Next to the blasting Doc Blanchard, who is slightly terrific, Davis is the aCdets' finest back and passer. He should have the ball oftener.
 One of Dukes starting guards weighed no more than TO pounds and things continued to happen to the Blue Devils in the Army engage ment. Cliff Lewis, their slickest back, broke his arm fin the first play of the Pennsylvania game.

 We want to get the rules estab- lshed so that everybody will be playing the same game and under standing it." Morrison said. Speed is essential so we can nave every body's views before the Official and Coaches Associations hold their an- nual meetings"
 Bid To Bingham
 Morrison said that those invited to attend included It. Col. William J. Bingham of Harvard, the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion rules chairman, who turned down all changes proposed by the Eastern Association for the 1914 season.
 Lou Little of Columbia, head of the football coaches rules commit tee and one of the champions of the new streamlined eastern rules, Asa s. Bushnell, commissioner of the Eastern Association, and officers of more than 40 officials organiza- tions also were asked to attend.

FARLEY'S RESIGNATION
AS NY. DEMOCRATIC HEAD
CLOS Angeles TimeS)


What is behind the sudden and uneX
pected resignation of James A. Farley as
chairman of the New York State Demo-
cratic committee-a post he had held for
II years and to which he was reelected
in April-is far from plain as yet. but
it seems unlikely that the explanation of
business reasons" assigned by Farley
tells the whole story
Farley is a member of the New York
delegation to the Democratic National
convention The delegation is unpledged,
but majority is believed to favor a
fourth term for F.D.R. to which Farley
is opposed. Under usual conditions, the
unit rule would bind all the delegates to
the choice of the majority. so that If
Farley goes to the convention as he eX-
poets to do. his ballot would necessarily
be cast for the fourth term.
At his press conference yesterday, the
President added to the mystery by de-
claring he knew nothing of the Farley
resignation beyond the newspaper ac-
counts.
Whether Farley'S name will be pre-
sented to the Chicago convention as
candidate. as it was in 1910 when Sena-
tor Carter Glass put him in nomination
and was booed down by the Chicago hood
lums. was raised as a question by Far
ley's refusal to comment. 1t seems to be
a possibility.
This new situation, added to the Demo-
cratic revolt in Texas, South Carolina and
Mississippi and the strong anti-Roosevelt
vote in Florida, furnishes plenty of ma
teria for speculation.

President Signs
Bill for Elk
Hill Oil Output

WASHINGTON. June 10. tUP)-
President Roosevelt Saturday sign
ed a bill to permit increased oil
production from the navy's Elk
Hill reserve in California, but ex-
pressed concern over what he term
ed Legislative assumption of exec
utive functions" contained in the
legislation.
The law authorizes the secretary
of navy TO enter into a contract
with the Standard Oil Co. of Cali
fornia to permit Caily production
of $4,000 barrels of oil from the
$600,000,000 Elk Hills reserve.
The measure was requested by the
joint chiefs of staff to assure in
creased petroleum for the war ef-
fort after Attorney-Gen Francis
Biddle held that an original con-
tract entered into by the navy and
Standard Oil of California was in
valiC.
It provides that production from
the field, largest known reserve in
the country must be authorized by
congress at the request of the Sec
retary of navy, and gives the navy
authority to purchase or condemn
lands on the same geologic structure
which might drain government oil.
Chairman Carl Vinson, D., Va,
Of the house naval affairs commit
tee, told the house that actcal pro-
ouction of the oil would be done by
