BEANTOWN
BOWLEHS
BOOKED
By 1 D. THOMAS
The Myer J. Murray bowling
team of Boston, regarded every
where candlepins and duckpins are
rolled as the world champion small
ball shooters, have accepted a
challenge from Washington, ac
cording to advices received today
from Beantown.
They will meet an all-star team
to be organized by John S. Blick,
president of the Convention Hall
, company, on whose alleys the
games will be contested.
According to the information at
hand, notification of the acceptance
Is now on the way by mail to Blick
who some time ago issued the chal
lenge in which he set forth the fact
that Washington bowlers believe
they can muster a line-up that no
ether city can equal.
When informed of the premature
announcement from Boston the
Washington bowling magnate
beamed his pleasure. J
“It will be the biggest duckpin
match in years,” he declared, and,
so far as this city is concerned
there is no doubt that Blick is
quite right. of the
succMMon oi victories scorea oy
Washington teams over representa
tives oi nearby cities, duekpin
bugs es the Nation’s Capital have
hungered for a clash with an op
gonent guaranteed to make trou-
This guarantee goes With the
Myer J. Murray team, which for
five successive years has been re
garded as the champion small ball
quint of New England. The Mur
ray bowlers go beyond that. They
wear across the shirts of their uni
forms the title: “World Champions.”
As a team and as individuals
their reputation extends far beyond
the confines of New England-
Washington knows something of
Paul Pohler and Archie Walsh. For
years the name of Paul Pohler has
been synonomous with small ball
bowling. Pohler and Walsh com
peted in the Atlantic Coast Bowling
Association’s tournament held here
la 1816.
It Is not remembered that
Jimmy Whalen, Lefty Mitchell
and W. E. Chama, other members
of the present Myer J. Murray
teem, competed with them. Walsh,
according to the dope from Bos
ton, has been the New England
ehampion for ten years.
Lefty Mitchell, the Murray men
assert, is the greatest southpaw in
the game. He will have a natural
rival here in A! Work, and it has.
been suggested in Boston that
Mitchell and Work be matched in
a singles contest that would be a
preliminary to the team clash. It
Is said that Pohler and Walsh will
seek a doubles contest with two
Washington Stars.
YANKEES’ PILOT
SEEKS GERBER
NEW YORK. Jan. 21. While
Miller Huggins still is working on
a deal for Marty McManus, the
second baseman. he has started
negotiations looking to the acquisi
tion of Walter Gerber, the St. Louis,
shortstop. It is an open secret!
that Huggins is not enamoured of
the shortstopping of young Mr.
Koenig, who has shown a weakness
in going back after a pop fly. An
other year as an understudy with
the Yankees before entering on
regular duty would do Koenig no
harm.
Gerber is one of the best fielding
shortstops in the business, and he
is nobody’s fool with the bat.
either. A couple of years ago some
of the critics spoke of Gerber as
the best shortstop in the business-
Thoy were a bit off. but there was
no denying Walter’s - high class,
- Gerber is no spring chicken, but he
would help the Yankees a lot for
at least another two years.
In all his negotiations Huggins
is trying to protect himself against
another injury to Joe Dugan. With
the shortfield gap plugged up v. ith
Gerber. Koenig might play secord
base and Lazerre third in the event
Joe’s trick knee w&nt back on him
again. That’s Huggins big handi
cap. He has a great third base
man. but he doesn’t know just
when he won’t have him.

WITHGHIFF
Earl McNeely, the smiling out
fielder from California, has ac
cepted salary terms for 1926, ac
cording to a laconic telegram from
. president Clark C. Griffith, who w
golfing at Tampa..
"McNeely accepts terms toddy”
is the whole of Griffith’s telegram.
That’s all and enough.
McNeely started off last season
the first-string center fielder. He
finished as an occasional outfielder
and an extra pair of legs for Joe
Harris on the bases. This season
he faces stiff opposition from Mau
rice Archdeacon and Tex Jeanes.
The New York club officially an
nounced yesterday that it had pur
chased Spencer Adame from the
Griffmen. Preßident. Griffith gave
out this news last week.

GIRL ATHLETES REGAIN
PEACEFUL DEMEANOR
By “JACK- MARTIN.
The ominous toll of the reef bell ha* ceased, and the ray from
the lighthouse, so dimly seen before, shines, strong and brilliant, out
to . B€a ’.,j n ” now » menacing green waves which had failed in
their wild attempt to lash the trim ship upon the rocks, submissively
supports the triumphant craft.
Oil poured upon the troubled waters by Lillian Schoedler, executive
secretary of the N. A. A. F., has enabled the “Women’s Athletic
Council to come safely back to port and has paved the way for
future activity in a very satisfactory manner.
About three weeks ago
relative to women’s sport in the
Capital began to happen with such
rapidity and force that individuals,
groups, and organizations were left
dazed and confused. But with one
exception the how, for, where, and
why, of the this, that, and the other
were not entirely and clearly under
stood by anyone. This we did
know—that the advent of the N. A.
A. F. figured prominently in the
general hubbub. »
Realizing that there was some
misunderstanding in the mir.ds of
the girls regarding the platform and
principles of the N. A. A. F., Mias
Schoedler came from New York two
days ago to do her best to help
straighten things out. And her
best was very good for it has proved
to be the necessary lubricant for
the perturbed conditions.
First es all, Miss Schoedler tnld
the girts that she did not want
them to feel as if they were being
rushed into this newly proposed
nation-wide organization.
She much prefers them to look
everything over coolly, and col
lectedly, and be entirely ready for
the move before it is taken. She
added that if necessary to be sure
of their step; she would much
rather have the girls come in three
years hence than to plunge
ignorantly now. That was that,
much to the satisfaction of those
present.
Another important Issue was
fairly met and overcome. The N. A.
A. F. will do everything that is
t wise and possible to bend their rules
i to take care of the demands and
I needs of such independent organiza
i tions as we have here.

has given itg thought and time to
benefiting athletics in schools and.
colleges. The question regarding
small independent groups of work
ing girls will be a new one for
them. If the transition period does
not take too long, when the two
sides get together we will be as
much of an experiment for the
N. A. A. F. as that organization
will be a new experiment for us.
Because they are broadminded,
because they truly want to help,
the N. A. A. F. win make rules,
If neoesaary, so that those in our
peculiar position cannot suffer or
lose anything that is right to have
in Joining the big organization.
■ The fog m clearing.
Miss Schoedler then suggested
that the council, whose work to
better* athletics she praised, re
organize and continue throughout
the year. This would give every
girl a working basis upon which to
prove herself regarding the stand
: ards of the N. A. A. F., and as each
■ group was ready to work with the
■ big organization, the line of dis
i tinction between It and the council
i would be nearly Indiscernible, making
the step easy and unanimously de
i sired.
Many thanks to Miss Schoedler
our troubles have vanished, and a
meeting of the council will soon be
called for reorganization purposes,
i In th« meantime the local execu
tive committee of the N. A. A. F.
is doing fine work under Miss Gace
i Keefe, and undoubtedly both the
committee and the council will co
operate for the coming year to
support and better all athletics for
women In Washington.
TIDBITS
DELANEY MOST POPULAR BOXER
rE other night at Madison Square Garden, while Terris and
Vinez were attempting to fight, the gallery gang kept up a
continuous holler with “WE WANT DELANEY! WE WANT
DELANEY!” :
It’s easy to understand the popularity of the French-Canadian
resident so Bridgeport.
In the first place, he is a fighter who takes on anyone at any
time. When no one could be found to fight the great Tiger
Flowers it was Delaney who stepped in and knocked all the
daisies off the jungle child.
Even before that, when Berlenbach was knocking everyone around
here bowlegged, it was Delaney who stepped in and knocked Paul
for a row of model apartments.
Delaney is always a gentleman’ 1
in the ring, never takes advantage
of a man and fights ACCORDING
TO THE RULES.
He never complains and £ives,
no cause for gomplaint. He fights
in the stiff back fashion, or what;
is known as the “Jem Mace style.” i
When the bell rings at the end!
of the round Jack stops immedi-j
ately, raises his right hand and:
walks to his corner like a soldier.
Grim Stops Frush
Billy grime, who holds both
featherweight and light
weight titles in Australia,:'
recently hit Dann/ Frush on the
potato in the fifth round and;
dropped the curtain on the show.
Mr. Frush has the rep of being
quite a diver, but it seems that
he took a real flop with Grime;
or else he has improved so much j
that he fooled the Kangaroo
scribes.
Frush has been all over the ’
world hunting for a title. He I
tried to beat Johnny Dundee when!
that gent was champ and kissed I
the canvas from an invisible punch :
one summer’s night.
Then he went West and Johnny •
Kilbane flattened him.
Then he went to England, but'
things didn’t turn out so well;
F '
there, and now we hear of him
sniffing rosin dust in Sydney.
The Referee of Sydney said of
the fight:
“A neat feint with the left, a
quick pull back, and then with
fascinating speed timed to a split
second, out snot an unerring right
to the unguarded Jaw of the man
who had mixed it with world’s
champions. A sharp impact! A
sickening thud! A quivering of
the limos, and the fight had
ended!
“So, William Grime, cool, clever,
calm and confident, was crowned
victor over his stricken adversary,
Danny Frush, of England, in the
fifth round of a contest that
showed the Australian feather and
light champion the better boxer,
the better fighter, and the better
I r inK general by a big margin.”
I Are They. Lyin’ About That Lion?
Georges carpentier has
with him Poalino, the Lion
of the Pyrenees. My word,
what a title!
Funny thing, about the lion,
though; was beaten twice by
that wonderful George Cook, of
Australia.
You saw George Cook fight
King Solomon at the Garden
didn’t you? It wasn’t a fight.
It was a Charleston exhibition.
Anyway, you can imagine just
how good the old Lion is when
he ran second to George Cook on
two different occasions.
Must be one of those Mack
Sennett lions.
Look Out, Mr. Greb, Look Out!
HARRY GREB is soon to fight
Leo Lomski, at Oakland,
Calif. Mr. Greb insists that
Lomski come in OVERWEIGHT so
that in case of a K. O. Mr. Greb
will still be champion middle
weight.
Well, California has been a bad
place for champs lately. Mike
Ballerino kissed the canvas, Panko
Villa was outpointed. Frankie
Genaro lost his title, Phil Rosen
berg was licked by California Joe
Lynch and, from reports, was tak
ing a pasting from Doc. Snell
when he fouled his opponent and
got out of a bad spot.
Mr. Greb is due to take one
on the potato, but we can’t figure
just WHEN.
Slim Love Retires
Slim Love, who has been in bale
ball 20 years, grunting every time
he put everything he had on the
hall, will retire from league base
ball to play with a railroad team
and work in the shops at Ennis,
Tex.
Cross Follows Cottar
Johnny Cross, a Mint League
first bmemftfl. who is a good hitter,
will succeed Hooka Cotter at Louis
ville, who was sold to the Giants.
Holman’s Royalties
Joe Holman and his Royal A. C.
have taken their beatings where
they have found them and his
Ito number is Adams 6436.

DELANEY LACKS WEIGHT
TO WEAR BIG CROWN
By FRANK F. (FNEILL
NEW YORK, Jan. 21—Jack Dempsey hurdled the first obstacle in
his path toward the heights of the heavyweight division. He whipped
Bob Fitzsimmons at Madison Square Garden last week and now an
nounced that .he is ready for the rest of the field. His en
thusiastic boosters think he will walk right through the contenders
until Jack the Giant Killer stands at the threshold of Jack Dempsey’s
room.
Perhaps I am something of an in-"
conoclast. In any event I see no
startling success for Delaney in
the heavyweight division. He Is
not big enough. There are other
rhaaons also.
It is my opinion that Delaney’s
resources have been sapped by his
recent illness. In his last two bat
tles he has shown a tendency to
lose his punching power after six
or seven rounds, and no man can
go far in the heavyweight class
who cannot carry on to the end.
Delaney knocked Fltssimmqns
down in the fourtn round the other
- night. In the seventh round De
loney hit Fitzsimmons right bn the
tip of the chin. Young Bob took
the wallop, and never even Winked.
. x Two or three times In the later
rounds Delaney walloped Fitz
on the Jaw. He might nave been
bombarding Gibraltar with a pop
gun for all the effect It had.
It will be remembered that De
laney knocked Berlenbach down
in the fourth round, but loot his
punching power along about the
eighth round.
Now the first time a thing of

ON DEHET
♦ NEW YORK. Jan. 21.—Jn spite
of persistent reports that Jack
Dempsey and Gen® Tunney would
meet for the heavyweight title
under Rickard’s auspices next sum
mer at Jersey City, shunting Harry
Wills aside, there was a strong
tendency to discount the rumors to-,
day. It was pointed out that Rick
ard would lose his license in New
York if he attempted to do business
v.lth Dempsey, the State athletic
. commission having forbidden pro
• motors to have any dealings with
i the champion because he declined
to accept Wills’ challenge here.
I However, it was regarded as aig
i rificant that Rickard refused to
discuss the report in any way, tend
ing to Indicate that he may have
opened negotiations with Dempsey
j and wished to keep th® matter pri-
I rate until the board could be per
) suaded to lift its ban on the
champion.
Th® original date named. July 4,
was switched by the rumor-mon
gers today and August 12 substi
tuted. Th® significance of this was
that Dempsey’s contract with Jack
Kearns expires on August 3 and
the latter thus might be deprived
of his managerial share of the re
ceipts. Kearns, when Interviewed
today, said he'knew nothing about
th® plana of either Dempsey or
Rickard.
