Goingl Going!! Gonelll All Or
White Hopes Now White Jokes
By "Bud'' Fisher

Of a ten-round bout they said Nc
Carthy held out promise of i'm
provement.
Avaunt and avast with such in
sincere twaddle! The white hope

Is going to do better, when he has
fight or two under his belt" Is
In class with a iaded champion
who Is going to the mountains to
recuperate." He is a mighty I'M
safe proposition.
1t goes to show that after all
fighting is a trade The fighter
who is born, and not made, is a
scarce specimen of humanity.
In the light of what is happen
ing. the sayings of Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien and Jack Johnson
seem epigrammatic.
II can lick any man who has
not had two years experience in
the professional ring" remarked
Philadelphia John prior to his San
Francisco go with AL Kaufman.
'Palzer is not ripe yet" said
Champion Johnson, when asked at
Las Vegas whether he regarded
Palzer in the light Of a possible op-
ponent. There was that in the tone
which suggested that Johnson con-
sidered Palzer an easy mark, but
felt that the big Iowan would have
to be coddled along a bit further
to stimulate public interest and in
crease the prospects of a large at
tendance.
The trouble with white hopes is
that they are exploited mainly on
their dimensions, and before they
have accomplished anything to
speak of. Size and strength and til
power to smite are merely funda-
mental qualities for a cub heavy
weight. They are next to useless
until he has acquired a ring edu-
cation, which, during almost any
generation of pugilists, is a hard
thing to acquire.
The woods are full of men who.
while they lack real championship
requirements, are plenty good
enough to shatter the dreams of
the hopes. A dozen years ago Joe
Choynsli, Kid Mccoy and a few
others were the watch dogs and
trial horses Of the heavyweight di-
vision. Today we have Jim Flynn
and Jim Stewart.
They are hard fellows to get by.
a beating by one of them has a
double effect inasmuch as it sets a
novice back and at the same time
discourages him. This is made APP
parent in the case of Carl Morris.
Before he tackled Jim Flynn there
was no such word as fail in the
bright lexicon of the stalwart
Oklahoman. Since then he has
been a mark for every man he
boxed.

ARTHUR MADDOX TO HELP
COACH GEORGIA ELEVEN

ATHENS, GA, Aug. 19-Although il
has not been officially announced, the
news has leaked out here that Arthur
Maddox. for four years a member of
the University Of Georgia football team,
has been engaged as assistant coach
for the coming year.
This news will be heard with much
pleasure by the students and alumni Of
the institution. as the big tackle was
one of the most popular men that ever
played at Georgia, and during his
course at the institution was most ac-
tive in all phases of college life.
Due to the large number of men that
turn out for football and the amount OF
work needed to whip the new material
into line. an assistant coach is an abso-
Lutte necessity, and in Maddox local
supporters Of athletics feel that the
tight man has been secured for the
place.

BILL GILBERT
HERO Of ROME
MOTOR RACES

" ONE, GA, Aug. 19.-Bill Gill
* bert, of Atlanta, riding an
Excelsior twin, lowered the
track motorcycle record here by
two seconds. Also Gilbert made a
clean sweep of the events in which
he started. He captured two three
mile match races and made a grand
showing in another three mile
event. He was clicked in one of
the miles in 80 seconds. The for
mer record was 81 fiat.
Gilbert was easily the hero of
the biggest motorcycle meet ever
held here. His daring spurts around
the turns and in the stretches were
sensational, and at the end of each
event he was cheered to the echo.
The summaries:

The new rules aren't going to
make things any easier for Tech
this year. Last year they rather
favored the Yellowjackets. They
made it possible for a team Of
light, fast men who knew football
to cope with most anything. The
rules committee. by performing a
back flip and allowing four downs
instead of three, have automatically
brought the big husky back into his
old, proud position in football. This
year quick thinking and quick run
ming will give place to weight and
brue strength. This will hurt Tech,
for they don't seem to send big men

ogy these days.

Spartanburg, s. c., Aug. 27.-Gov-

over the way he considers he has
been treated by the state executive
committee in the matter of ballots
for today's primary election. The
Governor made a request to Chairman
John Cary Evans for $4,000 addi-
tional ballots for his use today. Under
a recent ruling of the committee, no
ballot will be counted unless it is
the official ballot furnished by the
committee. Former Governor Evans
said the committe could not grant
Gov. Blease's request, for if he did
so, every other candidate for office
would be in a position to make SINH
lar demands and there would be no
telling where the matter would end.
Thus no ballots have been furnished
any candidate, although the COM
mittee have made ample provisions
for every voter to get tickets.

plant and there examined working
girls and married women, and
their testimony is long re-
cital of tears and misery and
enforced slavery, insanitary con-

The pathetic story of the girls and
women, as officially reported, shows

heartlessness of Perkins, the financial
hacker of the third-term party.
Read what Senator Wagner says:
THE appearance of the women
workers in this plant was very dis
heartening. They were worn and pale,
and their clothes, faces and hands
were covered with oil and hemp
cloth. Many of these women, so call

The Hypocrisy Of Perkins,

FOLLOWS BULL MOOSE ACCOUNT OF HIS CHILDREN, WHILE

kins has thrown his lit with Roose'
welt because he, Perkins has chill
dren, he says.
He says he wants to remedy all
human ailments, and especially care
for the women toilers.
In the mills of the Osborne Irvine
company No. 3, at Auburn, NJ Y,
which is owned by the International
Harvester company, of which George
w. Perkins is director and leading
light, an investigation on the part
of Senator Robert F. Wagner of the
state factory investigating commit
tee discloses the most inhuman and
brutal treatment of women.
The investigation started about a
week ago, and in these few days the
inconsistency of the third term calI-
didate's principal financial hacker
has been fully shown.
Women are made to toll all night
long in the Perkins directed harves-
ter trust factory.
Some of these women receive as
high as 81 week, but many of them
only S.. They are given fifteen min
utes for their lunch.
And they work in dust laden rooms
from twelve to fourteen hours day
On August II Roosevelt said
Mr.. Perkins is a rich man. He
came into my movement on his own
initiative. I have known him for
fourteen years, and when he joined
me I asked him, why are you support
ing me?
"He said the primary reasan was
because he had children. He had all
the money he wanted, he said, and
had come to the conclusion that this
country won't be a good place to live
in when his children become the age
we are unless business and govern
ment are brought into proper rela-
tions, unless the relations of capital
and the wage Garner are placed on
a better basis"
In his speech delivered on the same
day at Revere Beach, Mass, Roose-
welt said:
81 wish an eight hour day for wom-
en- of industry, | wish safety appli-
ances, and I wish to secure health
full conditions for the wagework-
ers."
George w. Perkins in his confes-
sion of faith on Aug. 20-and this
date is mportant-said:
Money is not all in this life. The
mere accumulation of wealth will not
bring an honorable heritage to my
only SON. Is there not something
more than the incentive to make
money which l can leave him."
