George Burns.

The majority of the gray hairs
acquired by National league hurlers
last year can be blamed on George
Burns. veteran Giant gardener. He
proved to be the toughest bird in
the circuit for the slab artists to
handle. Concrete evidence proving
this is shown by the fact that he
worked said hurlers for more
passes than anybody else in the
league. He drew 81 tickets. That
he was in a class by himself is
shown by the fact that Morris Rath,
Red inf1elder. the next best man
at drawing transportation, acquired
only 62 passes. They played in the
same number Of games.
Burns didn't count entirely on
waiting out the pitchers either, as
his batting average of 1903 for the
season indicates.
George is regarded as one Of the
best outfielders in the league. He
has been serving McGraw for eight
years, joining the club in 1912. He
began his pro career in Utica, N. Y,
his home town, and went right from
there to Gotham after three years
experience. He has been a con-
sistent and timely hitter every
year. Three times he has landed
in the charmed circle by a few
points, In 1914-17-19. He batted
around $50 the other years. He's
80 years old and Is due to shine in
the big show several more seasons

COMES TO Get
DEMPSEY'S SIG
TO A CONTRACT
Cochran In This Country With
Avowed Purpose Of Seeing
Champ Personally.

New York, Dec. rs. - With the
avowed intention of seeing Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight champion
Of the world, and clinching the
match with George Carpenter.
who recently knocked out RUDE
Beckett in less than a round,
Charles r. Cochran, London the
atrical and fight magnate, arrived
in New York on board the Maure-
tania.
II am going direct to tho Pacific
coast to see Dempsey and his man
ager, and try to persuade them to
have the Carpentier-Demp fight
held in London" said Mr.. Coch-
ran. London is the logical place
to have the big fight. England is
more enthusiastic over fighting
now than any time in history and
as both Dempsey and Carpenter
are we'll liked there, am prepared
to make large offer for the fight,
but will not divulge the amount
yet.
Society Takes Up Sport.
London has taken to fighting
and now looks upon it as a highly
respectable diversion. This change
in opinion has been brought about
by the fact that society attended so
many bouts between soldiers Of the
different countries during the war.
hope to stage that next fight in
London and l think l shall sue
ceed."
Cochran has some theatrical
business to attend to while he is in
New York, but will let that go I'M
til he has had his talk with Demp-
sey and Kearns. Cochran wants
that fight for London. He figures
that it will draw a gate that will
be near the million mark, and he
wants to cut into the big profits.
Would ALLOW Jack Per Cent.
Cochran is ready to sign up
Dempsey on a percentage basis,
provided the champion will work
on that basis alone and not insist
upon a guarantee. This may puz-
zle the astute Kearns. The man.
ager OF Dempsey says that he will
demand so per cent Of the gross
receipts for Dempsey's end, no
matter where the fight is held.
Cochran says that demand of
that sort is acceptable provided
Dempsey will gamble. However,
if Dempsey wants guarantee he
will have to let the promoters
stand the whole gamble and also
let the promoters win big or lose.

st. Louis, Nov. IA 12-mOnth ar
mistice between capital and labor, dur
ing which present working conditions
would exist and a thrift and produc-
ton campaign to restore INDUSTRIAL
tranquility, we're advocated by Allen
Walker of the Guaranty Trust COM
pany of New York at the American

A commission in each state, COM

of the public, preferably educational
lists, with power to standardize wages
and ensuing adjustments, and an iden-
tical national commission, with author
ity to act as the last court of appeal,
was suggested by Mr.. Walker.
"Such an arInistice should be real,
no lockout or strike during that time,
both capita; and labor pledging in ad-
vance to abide by the rulings of the
national commission" he said.
'"The ruling passion is extravaganza,
supplemented by common determine
ton to do as little as possible for as
much as il is possible to get by fair
or unfair means"
Union methods have drifted from
honest effort at collective bargaining
to an organized labor autocracy that
