HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1921.

what is human conduct but the da-
lily and hourly sale of our souls for tri-
les"-the foregoing is published broad
cast as an epigram by the clever
Bernard Shaw. A lie! Human peope In
the mass do not hourly, daily, or ever
weekly, or yet even monthly, sell theiI
souls. Because the human person
loves comfort and entertainment and
solaces himself sometimes with regret
table little vices and falls into error
that flesh is heir to. 1t does not mean
that he sells his soul. The soul Is moi
so easily sold. And mark you, this
soul that was made by God is not af
easily lost as some people imagine
either.

established him firmly with all Britons. They made a lion of him. A distinguished British sculptor even went so far as to make bust of the blond Pittsburger. Frank has had many a bust on the nose, but this is the first time he or any other fighter got the other sort of a bust.
 Tom Gibbons is regarded by insid- CTS as a better proposition for the man who wins at Jersey City than Moran, far better. He is more ruggedly com structed than the Frenchman and weights about the same. He is not a wide open fighter and can hit short, hard blows. How Ne can stand pun has hit him yet But he looks as though he Is able to take wallops, Looks to be the clearest heavyweight in the world today.
 CREE IS FAST
 Harry Greb Is not heavy hitter, but he lands his blows often, because of his quickness and his ability to shoot 'em from any angle. Always on the move, sidestepping, jumping back ward, ducking, slipping. he is about the hardest man to lay glove on that I ever saw. Greb has been after Demp- sey for long time, but Jack has been inclined to treat his claims with con- tempt. As for Jess Willard there are many who believe that he would have done much better against Dempsey had he not taken the fight too lightly and ignored the rules of hard training But few have the idea that 1t lies in him to come back now Harry Wills the best fighter of them all, is out ol the reckoning because of hls color.

FIRE IN CLOTHING STORE CAUSES ALARM
 AMONG BOOMERS

Occupants of the rooming houses on the north side of Second avenue be- tween Twenty first and Twenty second streets early this morning were aroused from their slumber to find their rooms filled with smoke.
 Answering the alarm the firemen discovered the fire in the rear Of the Hub Clothing company at 2012 Second avenue, north. Approximately 5e suits and as many pairs of shoes and several other articles were destroyed
 How the blaze originated remains a mystery. The fire seems to have started in the middle of the floor and only burned boxes of merchandise that was stacked there. However, it had been smoking for some time, as prac- tically all the upstairs rooming houses on that side of the street were filled with smoke and caused the occu- rants to scramble hurriedly for the street, most of them clad only in their night attire.

 Ty Cobb says Cleveland has a better baseball club than his.

 College Athletics
 Should Remain Pure
COACH FRANK CLICK.
By LAWRENCE FERRY

Copyright, 1921, by The Age-Hcrald.)
 New York, May 7.-(Special )-Fac- ulty athletic authorities of various northern universities. it was learned today, are watching with deepest in te1est the discussion of summer base ball by varsity players which is now raging among conference institutions. Statements of George Huff, athletic director at Illinois, sturdily favoring the practice and of l.. St. John, of Ohio State, opposing any mitigation of the rl!es which forbid college men 60 play baseball in vacation time for money, have been noted, as has the rather curious statement by Tom Jones of Wisconsin. MT. Jones states that while he does not favor opening the gates for college players who want to play summer baseball, they should receive liberal consideration" if, when found guilty, they apply for reinstatement, as varsity players. Director Phil Bar te.me of Michigan believes in restrict ed summer ball, that is giving permis- sof to varsity men to play semi-pro ball on town or industrial hines. And sc 1t goes-varying opinions at almost all the conference seats.
 FRANK CLICKS OPINION l received today most interesting letter from Frank Click, head back. field coach of the Princeton eleven and captain of the Tiger team of 1915 If 1t does not hit the summer baseball mail squarely on the head, then my judgment is grievously at fault.
 Baseball writes Mir Click, lis a national pastime played in the larger sense by professionals, but also to a great degree by amateurs. I do not h ink that tIn steps agross the line and receives q monetary return for his services he becomes less worthy, or losses the fine spirit of sportsmanship and fair play which is inculcated in all aniateur play.
 DOESN'T FAVOR PLAN
 T hold no brief for professional sports; they need none. Their popular ity among the American public IS suf- ficient proof of their place and their worthwhileness. Tn order to be fair with all college athletes why should any one proficient as football player not be allowed to sell his services dur ing Thanksgiving and Christmas holi- days, the same as one who Is permit ed to play summer baseball for money: To ask the very question is to answer it. Football today. with few excep- tions, is truly college game-played by amateurs. To permit men to play pr ofossional football in college would destroy the very essence of the game To my way of thinking, the same holds true of college baseball
 "surely. an expert college ballplay- CT can find enough ways 10 earn suffi- cient money to pay his way through college without jeopardizing his anna teur standing, It has been done be- fore, and with so many opportunities open today, it can be continued to be dcne This seems to be the sentiment of most of the college men today, as have heard them."

 New York, May 7.--(SpeciaL "A majority of American fight fans are so sure that Jack Dempsey will beat Carpenter when they meet at Jersey City next July that already we hear speculation as to who Jacks next op- ponent will be. \ The fact that the Frenchman might cop the big money at Tex Richards show doesn't lease the dopesters a bit For, if Georges should be the victor, then the oppon- ents now being lined up for Dempsey could be switched to the frog-eater.
 Here Is the way the future chal- lengers for the heavyweight tile show up just in order of performance Frank Moran, Tom Gibbons. Jess Will lard, Harry Greb--four, count 'em. Perhaps Frank Moran is named first because he is now in this country with his British laurels and has been doing some quiet press-agenting for him self. Anyway, more sporting men about New York are speaking of him as the next contender than of any other fighter. There is even a well defined rumor that Moran has already hooked up with Carpentier for bat tie in London next fall whether the Frenchman wins or loses the Dempsey fight.

 However. Americans may smile a. the idea of Moran having a chance to win the championship of the world British and French sportsmen take him very seriously. His quick knock -out of the British champion Joe Beckett,
