This
Sporting
World

By JOHN A. cLUNEY

My young, virile and somewhat
romantic y. q. Marine pal, Vincent
Joseph Kelley Of Waterbury, Is now
In Tientsin, China, after O stay ct
Guam that would try the patience
OF Job, the Archangel Michael and
O century plant. Among several In
teresting things, he writes that he
has learned 10 SPEAK CHINESE,
enough TO get by" as he puts II, his
tutor being O 20 year old barracks
boy who gets % a week as personal
valet to q litter Of Leathernecks. The
China boy Is tickled yellow, not
pink, for 90 o week In China today
Is 800 every Wednesday In Water
bury. Besides that the Chinese Lad
Is picking UP" the English Ian
guage, as ratified off by Kelley and
his buddies, while he, In turn, tells
the Marines how TO say "hello" or
goodbye" or "one large order OF
chop-suey, Mandarin style" All OF
which prompted me TO whirl the
following bit Of alleged rhyme at
you-all, Remember. now, rhyme,
that Is, Senator Claghorn or Fall
staff Openshaw to the contrary
Notwithstanding:
vVvVVVVvvv
What hol What manner Of men
are these,
Who, In two weeks, can learn
Chinese:
When trouble enough Is Oft their
share,
While speaking English, without due
care.
I've heard Of Kelleys for many o
year,
Some with the "E" and others with
out,
Who could fight their way through
war or two;
And never give II o seconds doubt
They were statesmen, generals and
laborers too;
Who used their heads and hands
quite well.
And never lost the GIFT OF "gab"
With anything they had 10 tell.
But never did ! expect 10 see.
A Kelley who could talk Chinee;
Instead OF corned beef and pratieS
too;
suppose he will order q BIRDS
NEST stew,

ALLIE MUST

lNEA STAFF COrresp0ndentl

New York, Feb. is = (NEA) -
Allie Stolz came back beating Willie
Joyce last Nov. ~. seeks to keep
right on going against the Gary
Negro at Madison quare Garden to-
night. Joyce is 6-5 favorite to win.
II he does he probably will land
non-title match with Bob Mont
gomery, who holds the New York
version of the lightweight leader
ship, in the same battle pit, March
8. Joyce has the same incentive.
Stopped BY Larlxin
StolS appeared washed up when
knocked out in the third round by
Tippy Larkin, March 23, 1914.
Stolz came mighty close to win
ming the lightweight leadership
from Sammy Angott, May is, 1912,
only to be rather surprisingly nat
tened by the then unheralded Beau
Jack in seven, Nov. Is, that same
year. Willie Pep gave the Newark
lad a humping, Jan. 90, 1913, and
his bouts up to the Larkin debacle
were desultory. He served a very
brief hitch in the Coast Guard,
climbed back via the smaller clubs.
Joyce was on a fine winning
streak when he tackled Stolz, and
to the amazement Of everybody
present the latter turned in the
slickest performance of his career.
Joyce was fresh from two tri-
umphs over Ike Williams, one over
Bobby Ruffin and six-round
knockout Of promising Danny Bart
field.
1t was Stolz's first appearance in
the Garden in more than 10 months,
and few gave him chance.
A sparkling duel resulted, and
F, though the decision was unanimous,
the spectators were not in total
agreement.

HOCKEY war
DEVELOPS IN
PHILADELPHIA
ny WALT BYERs
United Press Sports WRITER

New York, Feb. IS - (UP) - The
National Hockey League charged
straight ahead today to o showdown
with the American Hockey League
concerning territorial rights" in
Philadelphia. ..
The six N. H. l.. owners, closing
out two-day meeting, repeatedly
were determined to buck Philadel-
phia groups and grant Leonard Peto
formal permission TO set up @ Ma
tional League franchise in Philly.
Peto, q director Of the Montreal
Les Canadiens Of the N. H. L., plans
10 build O sports palace, to seat 40
900 for hockey, In Philadelphia and
move the inactive Montreal Maroon
franchise into town to give the
Quaker City sports fans their first
big league hockey team.
Peto said everything Is all set
and he would have his new arena,
at the site Of Philadelphia's old
Baker Bowl, ready by November.
Both Peto and the N. H. l.. appar-
emily have turned a deaf ear to
threats Of "Inter-League warfare"
from the Philadelphia Arena, Inc,
holder Of an inactive American
Hockey League franchise.
Agreement
Attorneys for the Arena are seek
Ing an injunction to restrain the
N. H. LIS imminent invasion Of
Philadelphia with big-time hockey.
There Is an agreement between
the National League and the Amer
lean Hockey League not to violate
each others territorial rights and
II the N. II. L. ignores our fran
chise holding there1l be warfare, !"
an Arena spokesman said.
National League teams and the
minor A. H. L. clubs always have
been friendly neighbors, working In
farm system harmony. But despite
the breach the Montreal to-Phila-
delphia move might cause, N. H. L.
owners appeared to risk It In order
TO include Philadelphia In their
postwar expansion plans.

Some Delay In
Starting School
LunchrOom Plans
Children Are Asked To Bring
Lunches Until Lunch
rooms Are Opened

Ashe county schools that have
opened lunchrooms in the past
are expected to again have this
service with some possible addi-
tional schools being added to the
program, but these will not be in
operation as soon as school opens,
it was pointed out this week.
It takes a little time to get ev-
erything in readiness and the
lunchrooms must be approved be-
fore they are to receive federal
aid. Applications for approval
must be sent to the Raleigh office.
Parents are advised to supply
the children with lunches until
announcement is made of the
opening of the lunch rooms in the
various schools.
Ashe county has been among
the leaders in the state, not only
in the number of lunchrooms, but
in the quality of food served and
the program this year is expect
ed to be as good as it has been
IN the past, principals said.
