More Boxing,
Less Shooting

FORBID the general and indis-
criminate use of the pistol and
teach the boys to box"
This is the advice of Edmund
Croft, 600 South l street, who
has lived in Tacoma for 81 years.
"I've got four boys and have
taught them all to defend them
selves with their hands. My son
Lee is a crack boxer.
Anybody can buy a pistol. AS
result we have shootings and
suicides every day. Figure out
how many shooting scrapes there
are within year. It's a big prob
lem. A couple Of young fellows
who lose their tempers can fight
out their troubles with their fists,
and no harm done. Usually they'll
be better friends in the future.
but IL one or both of them
carry guns you have a tragedy
that wrecks two homes.
81 would be in favor of laws
forbidding anybody to carry pis-
tolls except regularly constituted
officers"

Long Tom Hughes, veteran
pitcher, and Umpire Jack Sheri-
dan, are great friends. Despite
this they have had many battle
over decisions. but Jack as a rule
usually has got the better of the
arguments. Aware of this, Tom
once thought 1t wouldn't be a
good idea to start off the diamond
to get the verdict.
One afternoon last summer
Hughes was pitching and Sheri-
day umpiring. Although Tom APP
peared to have all kinds of stuff,
the visitors were taking liberty
with his delivery. Finally Tom
was taken out to give pinch hit
ter a chance.

as they boarded the cars.
Sheridan bought an evening
paper as he got on the car and
was perusing the sporting page as
he struck his seat. The car wat
crowded with fans, all of whom
knew Sheridan, of course. Hughes
happened to board the car. He
observed Sheridan reading and
figured 1t was his chance to put
one over. In voice that could
be plainly heard he said:
''Think you would make better
progress, Jack, If you wore YOU
glasses?" Sheridan looked up
and the fans laughed, but Jacl
was not perturbed.
'fI'm getting along all righ
now. Tom," answered Sheridan
''but l really needed a Lick tele

S'long Mark. Take good keer
of yerself, Mark.

wiping the tears from his eyes
today at the Municipal dock as
he stood surrounded by a gang of

So, Mark is going to Frisco
where the bright lights shine at
night in the Poodle Dog and the
caleium's glare over the squared,
roped-in canvas sheds pleasant
rays over opponents of the manly
art, unfettered, with eight ounce
gloves as mittens, seeking to un-
hook a sleep powder for the adj
versary without police or moral
interference, for the benefit of
the purse and the public.

Mark, you might be able to have
a show" Shaughnessy was asked.
