CRIME EPIDEMIC WANING

New ork, December 23.-NeW 4ork crime epidemic appeared to be waning rapidly today before intensified police activity, supported by drastic measures of criminal court judges.
 Eighty-four men, most of whom had previously been released on low bail. were sent to jail by judges in the court of general sessions. when the amounts of the sureties were raised so high the prisoners could not furnish them. Bail amounting to s150000 was ordered for feited in the cases of 60 others who failed to appear when ordered.
 Bail of one prisoner who, the records showed, had been at liberty under a total of $500 on two separate charges, was increased to s35.0oo by Judge Mcintyre, who declared if this was forthcoming he would raise the amount still higher.
 Announcement was made that on Mon day 800 men will be started on course of intensive training, preparatory to join ing the regular police force.
 Police stations were ordered by Con- missioner Enright to report to head quarters complete records of all violators of the state or federal drug laws. The records will be turned over to the mar cotic division as part of a new plan to check all drug addicts in the city
 Two men were arrested today after detectives said they had bought g worth of drugs from them. Later the officers reported seizure of s1,ooo worth of drugs in a candy store run by the two
 Few serious crimes were reported to- day. Numerous arrests were made, how ever, and several prisoners were held on charges of carrying concealed weapons.
 Albert Smith, 2e arrested early this morning after chase over housetops, during which police fired many shots, was held without bail on charge or burglary.
 Indications that burglars may have reached the period of intensive produc- ton came to hand this afternoon when it was learned that some of them were centering their attention on Greenwlch village customarily portrayed as the home of struggling artists.

New Administration to Tackle Budget

croached upon constitutional powers
of the president with respect to the
removal of officers appointed by him,
was eliminated.
In case the bill is passed during
the winter session in advance of
March 4, there is a likelihood of the
organization Of a budget bureau be-
fore Senator Harding takes office as
president. Under the bill the secre-
tary of the treasury is made the di.
rector of the bureau while an assist
ant director is provided to be appoint
ed by the president at a salary of $10,-
600 year. A general accounting of
fee also is created headed by a con-
troller general and assistant control
Ter general appointed by the presi-
dent at salaries of $4,000 and $500
respectively.
The new administration is expected
to get the budget bureau in work
ing order so that estimates may be
submitted under the new plan to con-
gress in December, 1921, fer appro-
priations for the fiscal year begin
ming July 1, 1922.

TRICKS IN RING CONDEMNED
Smart Boxers Get Away With 1t, but
Ordinary Fighters Are Not Quite
Smooth Enough.

Smart boxers can get away with
ring tricks, but the ordinary run mess
things up, according to Harry Dona-
hue, Eastern lightweight. He says:
"Dirty tricks in the ring are the
worst things boxer can pull. He not
only hurts himself, but he hurts the
fight and the fight game. Some boxers
are so smart they can get away with
it, but the ordinary lads can't. Johnny
Kilbane and Packy Mcfarland were
two of the trickiest men 1 ever boxed,
.but they had their work SO polished
that very few discovered 1t. Kilbane
had habit of tripping an opponent
and throwing him ON his back. He did
it on me and almost put me out. He
had dazed me with right to the chin
and before I could recover balance he
put his foot behind mine and pulled 1t
from beneath me. / fell fiat on my
back, my head striking the floor with
such force that was almost complete
ly stunned. McFarland's favorite trick
was to stab with his finger ends, par
ticularly ON the wishbone. The first
stab would not hurt, nor perhaps the
second, but he would continue to stab,
stab, stab. until the pain would become
uncomfortable"

BASEBALL ENJOYED ITS
MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR

Baseball has closed the most
prosperous year in its history.
The estimated cleanup" for the
majors is in the neighborhOod of
$1O,OOO,0O0. Not a club in either
circuit lost money. Every one
made huge profits-even the low
ly Athletics and Phillies.
The tail-end clubs didn't draw
so well at home, but when on the
road, and pitted against outfits
that were in the pennant fight,
the crowds simply packed in.
And the visiting teams gathered
in SO per cent Of the "spoils."
The Yankees, with Babe Ruth
as the magnet, are reported as
having cleared close to 100000
On the year-a profit far in ex-
cess of anything in the long an
mails of the game. The Indians
garnered in the vicinity of $780,
600, and the Dodgers grabbed off
nearly $4,000. The White Sox,
packing the parks at home and
abroad, are said to have netted
Comiskey more than half a mil
lion.
And the Giants, tail-enders
throughout the early months and
pennant warriors later-earned
nearly $1,0OO,0OO.

Ten Thousand Have Lost Liberty Bonds

MORE than 10000 owners of Liberty
lSl bends and Victory notes have lost
their bonds either through theft,
through destruction by burning, or
through some form of carelessness.
The last official figures showed 1858
persons having lost their bonds, of
whom 6,03S were holders of coupon
bonds. These figures are up to the
close of the last fiscal year.
For those who have lost their cou-
pom bonds there is little relief. For
those who have lost registered bonds
there is every probability of relief.
Government officials say probably So
100000 coupon bonds still are in the
hands of purchasers.
The tales of those who had lost
their coupon bonds are most pitiable
in many instances. Poor women who
have struggled and saved to purchase
government securities, either through
carelessness or variety of unfortu-
nate circumstances suddenly find
themselves minus the bonds. They
endeavor to recover them, fail, and

TARAL COMMENTS ON
CHANGES IN RACING
Veteran Jockey of American
Courses Is Surprised.
Does Not Understand Why Riders
Drive Mounts at Top Speed From
Moment Barrier Is Released
Regardless of Distance.

There have been few riders to pos
sess the confidence of the public in the
same degree as Fred Taral, who has
recently returned to the United States
to take up permanent residence after
many years of absence in Germany,
and none Is better qualified than the
Honest Dutchman" to comment on
the change in the quality Of the horse
manShip on our courses since the
period when he was one of galaxy Of
riders that were conspicuous for their

man and a score of lesser lights, but
each of them capable Of handling d
horse with skill and Judgment.
The veteran was surprised to find
that the practice Of waiting with a
horse appeared to have become lost
art in so far as the present-day jockey
is concerned. After watching days
sport at Jamaica, during which each
rider in the six races was engaged in
an effort to drive his mount at top
speed from the moment the barrier
was released, no matter what distance
was to be covered, he remarked to
some friends: ~
81 can't see why a boy shouldn't
wait in second or third place when he
has his horse in hand and is going
easy. Making the pace is handicap
in any instance. Every jockey should
study his fields the night before a
race and he ought to know something
of the characteristics of the horses OPP
posed to him and their riders as well.
He could thus map out plan of ac-
ton for the following day. This was
my custom and I know that it was
done by many other LADS as WELL"
