Mrs. Boone Requests
Immediate CUSTODY
Of Two Children

Mrs. Martha Lightner Boone, 33-
Sear-old heiress of Tryon, N. c., to-
DAY sought immediate custody of
her two children, a boy II and a
girl Z. following the decision yester-
Gay of Justice F. Dickinson Let's of
District Court awarding her custody
of the children
The children still remain in the
custody of her estranged husband.
ElaJ, Daniel F.. Boone of the 1900
block of Sixteenth street NV, who
announced his intention to appeal
the verdict to the Court of Appeals.
Yesterdays decision marked an
other chapter in a lengthy Gus
tody fight between Mrs. Boone and
Ger estranged husband. Justice
Let's made his decision after receiv-
Ing report by an impartial welfare
agency which investigated the par
entail fitness of Maj. and Mrs. Boone
Justice Let's today is expected to
rule on Mrs. Boone's request for
immediate custody of the children.
The welfare report made no spe-
eif1c recommendation but did find
that both Maj and Mrs. Boone were
fit and devoted parents.
In making his decision, Justice
Let's said he thought it would be
best for the children's welfare if
they were in their mothers custody.
During previous battles over the
chlldren's custody, Maj Boone
charged his wife with improper
conduct with 67-year-old physi-
clan, Mrs. Boone told the court her
moral conduct is exemplary, and the
investigation report bore her out.
In 1914 Maj. Boone was given Gus
tody of his children. This decision
was reversed by the Court of Ap-
peals, which remanded the case to
District Court for a rehearing and
suggested expert testimony on what
was best for the children. Mean
While, Maj. Boone retained custody. !
Justice Let's decision yesterday
was in suit brought by a next
friend of Maj, Boone to prevent
him from turning the children over
to their mother.

This Sporting World
Pep To Box Ortiz in Cal.
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

If worlds champion Willie Pel of Hartford can keep away iron dice games and get his latest mixup . $25,000 alienation of affection lawsuit ironed out before Novembe is too old,he may get to Brainarc Field 'or a plane that will star him to California and a scheduled bout with Manuel Ortiz, bantam weight champion of the world, bu a recent loser to lightweight Ortazit Chavez.
 Willie came over to the ringside at Hartford last week, before the Brady main bout to say hello" which gave me the oppor- tunity to ask him when he was going to the west coast to meet Ortiz, whom he easily handled at Braves Field in Boston two sum- mers ago, the night that two world champions boxed each other in 8 non-title bout. Having seen t--e bout, I asked Willie if he thought Ortiz would be any tougher this time. To that question he said: T don't know, but I can't lose my title anyway, because Ortiz must come in over 126 pounds" That, in itself is odd, because its more than pounds above the title weight limit of the bantamweight class; of which the hard-hitting little Mexican is the world champion
 Then it was that Pep proceeded to tell of the time he boxed Ortiz for the first time. It was in an Oakland or Los Angeles gym, and Willie, later to win the worlds featherweight championship, and then give Ortiz an artistic going over, was paid the magnificent sum of ONE DOLLAR PER ROUND for boxing with Ortiz, the worlds champ. But I had to eat," said illie, as he ruefully recalled those tough days, after he had run away from Hartford, after mis- understanding with his manager, "so boxed him for coffee and cake money, hoping I would meet him in the ring some day when the fight would mean something to me. Well, that happened at Boston, and even up there he told the newspaper boys I was still worth only $l 8 round, but I guess he felt different about it after it was over. Maybe he figures I'm worth at least two bucks a round now, but he won't have to pay me this time"

RombIers On Short End 5-3

New Haven, Oct. 28-The New Ha- ven Ramblers settled down to a pro- tracted home stay here today after having suffered the dubious distinc- ton of allowing the Philadelphia Rockets their first victory of the season last night before a 4,10O house by 5-3 score.
 Alan Kuntz, the Ramblers' in- jured left-winger, again tried to play but aggravated his right hip on his first shot and had to retire from the game.
 The Ramblers have only two short trips, both to Springfield, in the next 18 days during the course of which, in addition to the two visits to the Indians, they play four home games.
 Last nights game was marked by exceptionally fine goal tending on the part of the Rockets net-mind- CT, Nick Damore, recently acquired from the Hershey Bears.
 Well Done
 Gaston Gauthier put the Rockets in front late in the first period and after Normie Burns had evened it up for the Ramblers, he again sent them ahead from which point they were never headed. Alb Ceilings added two goals along with that of Clay Lavell to wind up the Rockets scoring.
 Joe Levandowski popped home his first goal of the season to bring the Ramblers back into contention, but after the Rockets drive had made the score 5-2, Norm Tustin's marker with two seconds remaining made no difference to the games out come.

Professional Football Hauing Best Season of Record
FiIchock Red Since His Trade
Ry united Pressl

I NDy OAAAOOA . ACocy Frank Filchock, who asked to bt traded from the Washington Red. skins to the New York Giants be- cause he wanted to get out of the shadow of Sammy Baugh, had Ma. tional Football League fans wonder ing today if Washington hadn't traded the wrong man.
 Filchock accounted for both touchdowns yesterday as the Giants upset the Chicago Bears, IA to while the Philadelphia Eagles ral- lied to whip Washington, 28 to 24 and today the Giants took the East ern division first place from the Redskins. It was the first defeat ot the season for both the Bears and Washington.
 In other games. the Chicago Car dinals topped the Los Angeles Rams, 34 to 10; the Pittsburgh Steelers humbled the Boston Tanks, B to 2, and Green Bay edged Detroit, 10 to 2. The days card drew I'll ,591 spectators, third largest single-day attendance in league history. A0AAAPA All 41AS OWh
 The Giant victory was personal triumph for Filchock, who spent much of his eight years with Wash ington on the bench as understudy to Baugh.
 He passed to Frank Liebel for the first touchdown and scored the sec- ond when he tried to pass, was al- most trapped and then ran 16 yards to a touchdown. Sid Luckman, Bear quarterback, peppered the field with passes, but had little luck. Several times his receivers dropped throws while in the clear.
 'Philadelphia's victory was one of the most dramatic of the season. First-half Eagle funbles and poor passing gave Washington a 24 to 0 lead. But the Eagles came back in the last half on the near-perfect passing of Tommy Thompson to score four touchdownS, the last and winning maker coming two min utes before the end of the game. Three of the four touchdowns came on Thompson's passes, and Augie Lio kicked all four conversions.
 Paul Christman, rapidly winning recognition as great passer, led the Cardinals to their victory over the defending Champion Rams. He passed for two touchdowns and scored once himself, while the Cards intercepted three of Bob Waterf1eld's passes and turned each into a score.
 Dudley Shines In Boston.
 Bill Dudley, Pittsburghs league leading ball-carrier, had a big day against Boston, getting three touch downs, one on an 80-yard run. He also converted three times. Boston and Detroit both are victoryless in 1946 competition.
 Detroit tried hard for an upset and led at the half, ' to 3. but Green Bay center Charley Brock stole the ball from Camp Wilson on the Detroit 22-yard-Nne as the second half started and the Packers turned that break into the winning touchdown.
 Largest crowd of the day was the 623 359 at the New York Polo grounds to see the Giants and Bears. and It was the fourth straight Sunday In which total attendance was over 167, 900.
