Oshkosh Boxer Attributes
His Improvement to
Learning How to Condi-
ton

There is strong undercurrent of curl
osity about this Eddie McGoorty boy
of Oshkosh. The tip has flashed out that
McGoorty of today is no more like the
McGoorty of old than would be two to-
tally different boxers, so much improved
is the good looking young Wisconsin
athlete.
The tip came first from a fellow Amer
lean who was exploiting other fighters in
Australia at the time McGoorty was
there And 1t was given credence because
the man who circulated the tip quietly
in the same class as McGoorty, and,
therefore, could not be accused of I'M
duly boosting McGoorty.
'If he trains the way he did in Aus
tralia he can beat any white man liv-

GLASS CONFERS WITH
THE RESERVE BOARD

Washington. January chairman
Glass of the House banking committee
conferred today with members of the
federal reserve board on the interpreta-
ton of the section of the reserve act
regulating election Of reserve bank di-
rectors. Attention was called to the
question of whether director belonging
to one of the three groups provided by
the law can be elected legally to rep
resent banks in another group. and 1t
was suggested that restrictions in the
act intended to prevent big banks from
receiving control of the system had not
been observed in some of the elections.
Some of those in the conference thought
an amendment might be necessary to
make it clear that no banker belonging
to one group could serve as director OF
another 1t was said, however, that the
matter of a review of elections by the
board had not been considered.

manner they induced a star
player to Jump his contract with
gold.
For weeks last spring and
throughout the past baseball sea-
son players were induced to leave
the ranks of organized baseball by
bonuses and Increased salaries.
The actions of the players in this
regard lowered them in the esteem
of the public az 1t clearly showed
that after all the average ball
player is a mighty poor excuse
Of a citizen on ethical questions.
However, despite the frantic mon
etary appeals of the Feds, few of
the star players left the ranks of
organised baseball, and with total
lack of public support. the outlaws
had visions of a heavy financial
loss for the season and also were
further away from their goal of
becoming q third major league.
The fact that few of the play ers
jumped their contracts Is not any
credit to the ballplayers, as they
remained faithful only because the
magnates in organized baseball
came across and paid them exorbi-
tant salaries TO remain within the
fold The public was not deceived
in this and knew last summer as
1t watched players on its favorite
teams cavorting about the sacks
that money and no other considera-
ton held the players fealty to
either Feds or organized tall.
Thus the faint Of gold on the.
greatest of sp0rts-the national
game.
Last fall the moguls of the Feds
began a great publicity campaign
for peace in the baseball worId-
and finding 1t impossible to i'm

proceeded to turn more gold pieces
loose for few more Judas OF he

fans. 1t showed them that profess

a sport, but very much alive as a

the Feds. even with stars" jump

quito 1t was then that the Feds
decided that II they could not i'm

kill the game by appealing to the
