Now in private business, Crow

can help pro football by widen

On summer night in 1926
two highly publicized feather
weights met in ring at Kenil-
worth. Md. With the opening
bell AL Foreman, a transplanted
Englishman serving in the cav
airy band at Fort Myer, rushed
from his corner, struck Goldie
Ahearn a solid smash in the
stomach and followed with a
crushing blow to the jaw.
That was the inglorious finish
of Goldie Ahearn's career as a
boxer, and he had been a good
one, mingling with the best in
his division.
At 3 o'clock in the morning,
still distraught, Goldie got an
other shock. He phoned his girl.
Shed waited up for the result
and Goldie was the first to call.
He was weeping.
"Goldie Ahearn," 19-year-old
Helene Brause exclaimed, I'm
glad"
Shed never seen him fight and
never intended to, but her mind
was made up to marry him.
There were parental objections.
Helene's collegiate background
and training to be a school
teacher were out of keeping with
all that Goldie Ahearn (born
1sadore Goldstein) stood for.
Never Impressed by Title.
Helene never was impressed
with Goldie's title Of feather
weight champion of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Force. Nor
had she ever become enthusiastic
over any of his ring victories as
a professional. All she saw in
Goldie's success was a drawback
to their romance.
The romance had a false start.
On a blind date. they were intro
duced at a dance by Helene's
brother in-law. And they dis
liked each other at first.
"Goldie was different from
any boy I'd ever met" Helene
recalls.
But they met for the second
time a year later-and fell in
love. That was six months be-

Government Is Ready
To Attack Testimony
Of Bell in Trust Suit
BY the Assoeioted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 90
Commissioner Bert Bell APP
peared due for some thorough
croSs-examination today in the
Governments antitrust suit
against the National Football
League.
Government attorneys took
copious notes during Bells direct
testimony as the chief defense
witness yesterday and indicated
they were prepared to take full
advantage of their questioning
session today.
The Government charges the
league violated the Sherman
Antitrust Act by setting up
radio and television areas of
restriction around each Of its
cities.
In his testimony yesterday, the
commissioner told Federal Judge
Allan K. Grim-hearing the case
without jury-that unrestricted
television of league games would
mean ruin for the NIL.
The question of the effect of
unrestricted TV was posed by
Defense Attorney Bernard Nord-
linger, who asked Bell: Can
professional football live with
unrestricted television."
Positively not, Bell answered.
Football fans would stay
away from the ball parks in
droves to watch games on their
home screens-eSpecially in bad
weather. Bell said.
I'VE would not be able to sell
enough tickets" he added ito
carry on the high type of foot
ball operations that the public
Is accustomed to-"
Player salaries, he said, would
drop from the present average
of $1,000 plus to a top figure
of $4,000.
Bell defended the NIL rule
setting up zones of radio-TV re-
striction within IS miles of all
league cities. He said the league
set that limit because it believes
all football fans within that
range of a home team are po-
tential customers.
He said that the NFL is per-
fectly willing to go along with
the television industry as long
as the leagues ticket sales are
not adversely affected.

vising that we can" he said,
"but We still want to live"

A crowd of we'll over 1000
packed the A. U. gym to see the
game. Joe Brennan, president
of the Western Alumni Athletic
Association, which sponsored the
benefit, said receipts from tick
cts sent to alumni and those sold
at Western had not been totaled.
He predicted the final take would
exceed $1,000.
Staff Cassell, assistant to the
president of AU, not only gave
permission for the game to be
played in the Eagles gym, but
went further for Brizendine.
Cassell is in charge of the coffee

schedules were drawn up which
have produced a conflict between
the metro tournament and Mary
land State tournament.
With no Maryland school in
the event, the tournament COM
mittee, meeting to decide pair
ingS today, probably will choose
st. Anthony and Falls Church to
round out the eight-team event.
Gonzaga pulled an upset by beat
ing the TONES in the semifinals
of the Catholic League playoffs
and qualifying for the metropoli-
tan tournament Monday, while
Falls Church boasts a 1873 sea-
son record.
officials from the Interhigh,
Catholic and Northern Virginia
Leagues and the private schools
will arrange pairings for the
tournament, which starts Mon
day. With the Catholic League
and Interhigh titles still to be
decided, the Tournament Com
mittee is in a tough spot.
Probable Seedlings.
Right now it looks as if the
committee will seed the teams
in this order: Roosevelt, St.
Johns. Wilson, WI. Gonzaga,
CIV. st. Anthony, Falls Church.
If Western should upset
Roosevelt tomorrow night, the
Riders in all probability would
be given place anyway and the
winner of the Interhigh playoffs
would get the other spot.
Should Tech beat Wilson, the
Trainers could take Wilson's spot
in the seed. The committee may
decide to seed WI third, Wilson
fourth, CIV fifth and Gonzaga
sixth, but this wouldn't affect
the pairings. Team No. l plays
No. 8, Team 2 plays No. Z, and
so on, under the system used by
the Metropolitan tournament.
Thus, barring upsets, the
opening rounds Monday anc
Tuesday will probably see Roose-
welt against Falls Church, ST
Johns against st. Anthony, Will
son against CIV and WI against
Gonzaga.
CIV and WI are anxious to be
placed IN opposite brackets since
the tournament will be played al
WI and the two Northern Vir-

Married Quarter Century
|GoIdie Aheorn's Collaboration
Says She Got Him to Quit Ring

fore Goldie fought Foreman, who
was something of a ringer, as I
remember him. Anyway, the
soldier was a knockout sensation
in this area before his brilliant
record in England was revealed.
Kayo in 1112 Seconds.
After the Kenilworth fight,
Foreman acquired new prom
inence. Ahearn, as a fighter,
went into oblivion, but he might
have found consolation two years
later in Foreman's feat of knock
ing out boxer in 111a seconds,
including the count. Ruby Lee
vine was the victim. Goldie lasted
longer, but Levine at least gained
permanent publicity. His name
appears in Frank Menke's Ency-
clopedia of Sports as a principal
in one of the shortest bouts on
record.
When Goldie, in his 3 am.
report on his defeat, mumbled
something about "killin' that
guy when we meet again." Helene
responded:
mo, Goldie. You're never 60
ing to meet him again. You're
never going to fight anybody else.
Promise me. Goldie. Please"
That's the conversation as
Mrs. Ahearn remembered it to-
day. on the 25th anniversary Of
their wedding.
( Goldie promised. They were
married SIX months later. He
entered business, but the ring
was in his blood. He became a
promoter on the side. When
boxing was legalized in the Dis
trict. Ahearn was granted the
first promoters license-in 1885.
1t was with the full approval
of Mrs. Ahearn. From the day
of their marriage they proved a
solid team. It's been that way
for Is years. In all of Goldies
countless promotions. Helene
has been in the background as
a trusted counselor.
Helene Promotes Show.
Once, when Goldie became
dangerously i'll, Helene took over
the entire promotion of a show.
It was a marked success. The
night of the show, Goldie reached
a crisis in his illness and Helene
hurried from ringside to bedside.
1.-The proudest moment of my
life" she said today, "came only
recently. That was when Goldie
was presented a plaque at the
B'nai Birth show, for having
promoted it,"
The B'nai Birth affair, which
Melted $4,000 for Argo Chapters
benevolence program, was largely
the handiwork of Helene. But
it mattered not that Helene's
name was not on the plaque.
What's Goldie's is hers, too!
Goldie and Helene soon will
become grandparents. Their
children have not been encour-
aged to follow fistic affairs. It
might be that Helene has never
forgotten her early dread of the
subject.
But so long as it had to be a
part of Goldie's life, it had to be
a part of hers.
P.S.-A press luncheon is
being given by Goldie at O'Don-
nell's Restaurant today to bally-
hoo his next show, featuring
Holly Minis and Willie Troy at
Uline's Wednesday. The show
will raise money for st. Sofia

anniversary as dinner guests OF

will attend the luncheon as much
to honor them as to hear about
their show.
