Unless the State Boxing Commits
sion can stage better bouts in New
Jersey than the recent Fulton-wills
contest in Newark, declares sena-
tor Simpson. II will introduce
measure to repeal the whole boxing
law in the state" In sounding the
desthknen Of the boxing game IN
the state II another scandal, as he
calls it. occurs the Hudson county
lawmaker declared that the people
did not get their moneys worth and
that the contest was poorly policed.
But he did not hit upon the real
violation Of the boxing law as it
affects New Jersey.
The law covering boxing in New
Jersey takes a definite stand against
bouts between whites and blacks.
There a be no doubt in the minds
of the commissioners that the fight
at Newark was a mixed bout, but
no effort was made to live up 10
the law. Why this ruling, which is
being violated here as well as in
other parts Of the state, is not being
lived UP to is hard TO understand.
The same can be said of several
other features Of the boxing law.
1t does not seem fair to the public
that men are advertised to appear
at a certain exhibit when the pro-
moters know the man in question
will not take his place in the ring.
Despite the fact that at the bouts
here last night one Of the fighters.
a local man.. publicly declared that
he would not fight, his name was
used on advertising matter as wei!
as in notices sent to the different
newspapers.
There have been several unsavory
features about the way fights are
being conducted in this city. Per-
haps it would be we'll for Senator
Simpson, who seems to want good
boxing exhibitions or none at all, 20
investigate the way the boxing ex-
hibiticns are being promoted here.

A WINNER

Sir Thomas Upton. his yacht
defeated in an international race,
shows his sportsmanship in an
nouncing that he will again try to
bring the cup back to England
when the races are held in 1922.
With several changes in mind and
a new determination to find a de-
signer who can reduce time allow
ance while still maintaining speed.
the Irish baronet. although an old
man, will once more contend for
the worlds yachting honors.
To the Resolute. its designer,
builder, skipper and crew go the
honors Of a wonderful victory. In
one of the contests the defender
bested the challenged boat and in
another the sloops were tied, as far
as actual time was concerned at the
finish. The superiority Of the
American sloop and crew was clear
ly shown.
In planning for the race in 1922
it would be well to make several
changes in the regulations. Let the
contest be run without a handicap;
have the boats limited to a certain
length. say 100 feet. allowing the
noun Of sail to be optional with
the designers. Sir Thomas Lipton's
claim that the best sloop cannot be
determined in a series of five short
races is a reasonable one and should
be considered as there were several
dlscouraging features about this
years contests. The question of a
longer course at least should be
considered in planning for 1922.

When Does a Pup Become "of

TULSA, Okla, July 20. - When
does a pup become "of age?"
P. L. Long. the city's chief sani-
tary inspector. under whose direc-
ton the dog catcher operates. has
handed down a decision which, in
the future, will govern in all in
stances where controversy arises
over the owner of a canine claiming
exemption of dog tax, alleging the
dog still to be a pup"
At the bi-weekly conference of
the mayor and city commissioners
the subject was brought UP and
Long appealed for an official inter-
probation of the period when a pup
becomes "of age" They decided it
was four months. Hereafter, pups
in Tulsa are pups until they are
four months old-then they auto
matically become dogs.

cooLIDGE's SPEECH


Governor c~oolidge's speech at the
notification ceremony yesterday at
Northampton, Mass. contains much
that 10 sound and courageous. His
speech of acceptance is a reinforce
ment TO the position held by the
Republicans in the national cam
paign rather than a personal plat
form.
He outlines some of the country's
needs with telling force. Concern
ing reconstruction he avs:
THE greatest need of the nation
at the present time is to be rescued
from all the reactions OF the war.
The chief task that lies before US is
to repossess the people of their gov
eminent and their property. We
want TO return to a thorough peace
basis because that is the fundament-
al American basis. Unless the gov
eminent and property OF the nation
are in the hands of the people, and
there to stay as their permanent
abiding place, seif-government ends
and the hope Of America goes down
IN ruins"
IN dealing with taxation and
profiteering, production and kim
bred subjects. he again shows his
economic sense and moral courage
when he declares:
"The most obvious place to begin
retrenchment is by eliminating the
extravagance Of the government IT.
self. The extravagant stand
ards bred of recent years must be
eliminated. This should show i'm
mediateIy in reduced taxation. That
great breeder Of public and private
eztravagance, the excess profits tax.
should be revised and had
to customs taxes on imports, one of
the most wholesome of all means of
raising revenue, for 1t Ia voluntary
in effect, and taxes consumption
rather than production. 1t should
be laid according to the needs Of a
creditor nation, for the protection
Of the public. with a purpose 10
render US both economically and
defsnsively independent.
"A revision of taxation must be
accompanied with a reduction Of
that private extravaganza which the
returns from luxury taxes reveal as
SURPRISING all comprehension. waiv-
ing the moral effect, the economic
effect of such extravaganza is 10
withdraw needed capital and labor
from essential industries. greatly
increasing the public distress and
unrest.
@There has been p~rofteering. 1t
should be punished because 1t is
wrong. But it is idle to look to
such action for relief. This class
pro1t by scarcity, but they do not
pause 1t.
~As every one knows now, the
difdcuIty is caused by a scarcity of
material. an abundance Of money
and insufficient production. The
government must reduce the
amount OF money as fast as It can
without c~urtailing necessary credits.
Production must be increased"
Governor Coolidge is quite as
evasive on the League of Nations
as Senator Harding, which was to
be expected. He does, however. give
us a different slant on the foreign
policy. He gives the people much
food for thought on the league is-
sue in his ~utteranees and does not
show the frantic bitterness against
President Wilson as did his running
mate on the ticket.
He gives us many Of the homely.

GEORGE STALLINCS WAS BAWLED OUT
FOR BLUNDER in HIS FIRST CLASH

1901 when the Western League ex-
banded into the American, Stallings
then put in six years in the Inter-
national League. returning to the
American in 1909 as manager of the
New York Yankees.
Fighting for Pennant.
The Big Chief. as he then was call
ed, took hold OF a club which finished
last in 1908. and had it fighting for
the pennant in 1910, when the Yanks
finished second to the Athletics. In
two years in New York, Stallings de-
veloped the famous pitching staff Of
Ford, Fisher, Caldwell, Vaughn,
Quinn. WARRIOR and Hughes How
ever, after an internal feud on the
club, Stallings was succeeded by Hal
Chase as manager late in 1910.
The Georgian went back to the In
ternational League, in 1911 and 1912,
only TO be brought back to his first
the Braves. Here Stallings perform
ed the most remarkable feat of mod
ern baseball. The club he took over
in Boston had been in the second di-
vision for ten straight years and had
finished last in the four years before
George was appointed manager. He
jumped the club TO fifth in 1913, and
in 1914. after being last in August,
he started the Braves on a drive
which did not stop until the Bostons
had vanquished the supposedly irwin
chile Athletics in four straight games
in the 1914 worlds series.
Since 1914. the Braves again have
fallen on evil days, but II Stallings
does nothing else his feat of win
ming the worlds series of 1914 with a
club which had been last in 1909, 1910,
1911, and 1912 is enough to give him
a place among the baseball immor-
tails.

Mr.. Heixmnn's "shift.-

From where we're sitting, the IA
nous Georgia shift" as originated
and perfected by one Johnny Heis-
man, at Georgia Tech, isn't going to
be seen any more on the gridirons of
this fair land. So Georgetown may win
next November at Atlanta, after all.
We had our doubts until we read the
changes in the rules made by the
rules committee in New York last
week.
Here's the way the new rule reads
regarding shift plays: "a player not
in motion has come to a full stop
with both feet on the ground and
still"
as the shift worked at Georgia
Tech, the players did have both feet
pm the ground, but they were not
e'still," not by a long shot. They were
swaying into their new position and
the infinitesimal halt in their prog
ress from the first position to their
second could not be detected with the
naked eye.
II the Pennsylvania players begin
shifting next fall under the teaching
of their new coach, Johnny Heisman,
this "still" in the rules is going to
bring penalties from the officials, just
as Georgia Techs plays always did
at Pittsburgh. In other words, the
Georgia shift looks due for a new
deal
