1921 is still a trifle too young for
any of the leading champions to
have collided with a stifr test
Benny Leonard is about the only
one who has been called upon to
make good. But the others can look
ahead and see plenty of trouble
along the roadbed.
First, there is Dempsey. II he is
to meet the leading candidates for
his job this year he will have to
eliminate Carpenter. willard and
Wills. This will be a good seasons
work. Stopping three contenders of
this caliber will come close to tax
ing all he has. 1t will be more tina n
any other heavyweight has tried in
over twenty years. He may find
one, or even two of them fairly soft.
But one of the three, IL not two of
the three, has the possibilities of
serious trouble. He will find here
three widely different types-a fast,
hard hitter in Carpenter, who, per-
haps, is none too rugged; a slow,
hard hitter in willard, who can do a
lot better than he did; a good defen-
Sive man in Wills, who can also
punish. There are no set-ups here.
at least. Not precisely.
Then there is Bill Tnden. Out
side Of Bill Johnston he now seems
to have the field stopped. These
two stand apart with no one else
fairly close. 1t is almost a toss up
as to which will IL win when thev
meet. TDden has the greater.var-
iety OF strokes, better change of
pace and big advantage in his
terrlnc service. But Johnston has
the coll steadiness and the grim
hghting qualities that make a
champion. plus a wonderful control
OF certain essential strokes, incIud-
ing winning forehand drive. When
they get together it is merely a
matter of which one happens to he
on top OF his game. Tflden, having
broken through, may now be hard
er to beat than ever before. His
victory last year may have given
him the necessary confidence. Rut
no man accepts victory over John
ston as sure thing. Outside Of
these two it is hard to figure snv
one now with chance to reach the

TOLLYER'S COMMENT
~ on the Sport of Kings
By BERT E. COLLYER

And the last shall be first"
On Friday the D. o. p. sunk the
proverbial ship on Trader and had
the pleasure 60 of seeing Dave
Gideon's plug run a disgraceful
last. Today the "dynamiters" set in
the works and the chances are that
Trader Will be on the opposite end
Of the procession. Yep, it's a great
game. He's worked fast enough
in private-to beat the bunch of
gOphers opposing him today and
only needs clear sailing to turn the
trick. Vulcanize and Surmount
have the balance of the first be-
tween them. All this happens in
the second at New Orleans.
The boys with the spIit-second
watches shoot me Mawrcoron as
their three-star special. The lads
make few mistakes, so we'd better
string along. Tom Hare, Jr.. is
highly regarded by the Clark con-
nections and will take a world of
beating. Who Can Tell Just cannot
be worse than third. PouItney for
mine in the third. Here is a bird
that's been slumbering deep down
IN the old pickle vat for some time.
Long overdue for an awakening
and this is the day. One more
word don't let the price scare you
on. Donnaroma and Financial
Rooster should run two-three.
look for White Star to run his
race today. Is one of the smartest
3-year-olds at the track and Clarke
is there to wish him luck. Do you
get me, Hector?> The FOREIGNERS

pc knocking at the door. Master
Jack should have little trouble saw
ing the peep" money. 'They have
nnally found the right spot for
crystal Ford. Only has to race back
TO recent good trials in order to
ring the bell. Inquiry is well likeo
by those close to the right people,

| all by golfers who had never won
championship.
There is still some doubt as to
whether Ted Ray will return to
defend his open title. II he does
his job will be the toughest of the
lot. In addition to such American
stars as Hagen, Barnes, Hutchison,
Deigel, Edgar. Evans, Jones and
others, he will also have Abe Mitch
ell and George Duncan to stop. Ray
or any man will be a 10 to l shot
in this meeting. which will include
more stars than the 1920 champion
| ship had at Inverness last August
One of the best looking bets for
a repeater now is Princeton for the
Eastern football title. The only
kink in the Tiger scheme of things
is that the dope looks too good to
be true. Bill Roper, who proved
| himself to be one of the best
coaches in the game, has enough
material for two star elevens. But
there seems to be many occasions
in existence or destiny when per
feet advance conditions overplay
themselves and lead to overconfi-
dence or other trouble. But Prince.
ton won't be far away. In fact,
any rival that sends out a better
eleven will have to mix up some
miracle stuff and inhale it prop
erly.
Then there is Cleveland, on top
in baseball. Speaker has seven
clubs i'm his league to beat. plus the
National League winner. The Amer
lean League argument now looks
to be a heated debate between New
York and Cleveland. No other clubs
should outfnishI either Of these con-
tenders. II Speaker can finish ahead
of Huggins, force of habit may lift
him over the world series hurdle,
as the National League entry has
been winning something like every
NTH year-in 1909, in 1914, and IN
1919 And in the 1919 affair there
was considerable aid furnished by
the opposition, which at least didn't
make 1t any harder.
Babe" Ruth will hardly break
his home-run record this season,
but he will: have no great trouble
in leading the sluggers again. The
Babe" can dive into terrific slump
and still have tidy margin. One
of the most interesting cases to
watch is George Sisler. The st.
Louis star at last climbed to the
top, after several seasons of fine
hitting, and We can see whether or
not he has any of the Cobb stuff
in his system as repeating cham
pion. Sisler will be one of the lead
ers if he doesn't go over the top
again, and the chances are that he
will.
So here, with the first month of
the new year ended. you have them
getting ready to take the hurdles
Dempsey, Leonard. Tilden, Evans,
Ray, Speaker, Ruth, Sisler - how
many of these will We be discussing
as champions when February, 1922,
pops out upon the calendar?

CONGRESS STOPS
FUND FOR SHIPS
%Chairman Good Scores the
Boards Efforts to Main
tain Pay.

The United States Shipping Board
passed a resolution prohibiting any
reduction in wages by firms with
which it had contracts for ship
construction, Representative Good,
Of Iowa, chairman of the House Ap-
prOpriations Committee, yesterday
told the House. The shipyaTd
workers of the New York Shipbuild-
ing Corporation, on the other hand,
he pointed out, had told Congress
they voluntarily asked for a reduC-
ton in wages in order that their
employers would be able to obtain
contracts
In praise of the attitude of work.
ers realizing that a reduction in
wages was imperative, Mr.. Good
made plain that ship construction
under way would be completed pro-
vided the Shipping Board made an
Intelligent settlement of their
claims on the War Department."
The committee had refused the $94,-
900, 900 deficiency fund asked by the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, he
said, because the War Department,
it is claimed by by the Shipping
Board. owes the Shipping Board
S2OS,OOO,OOO, on which there have
been advanCemcnts aggreEating
$4,000, 900"
The board was attacked by Mr.
Good for not reducing wages. He
said he doubted whether the COM
mittee would ever grant the Ship
ping Board any appropriations un-
til they take such action as has
been proposed by the men in the
shipyaTds."

NIGHT SESSION
FOR TOWNER BILL

why not an evening session of
Congress il that is necessary to pass
the Sheppard -Towner bill this ses-
sion? It would be a splendid tribute
to the women of the country and
a fitting acknowledgment Of what
American women hope to accomplish
with their votes" was the sugges-
ton made in an interview yesterday
with Repre- sentative Horace TowneT,
of Iewa, regarding the present posi-
tion OF the bill. Judge Towner is its
sponsor in the House and will lead
the debate in its favor when it
comes to a vote.
News that Representative Towner
had introduced a resolution into the
House late Monday which had been
printed and sent up to the Rules
Committee was received with salts
faction by women working for the
bill. They had a meeting yesterday
afternoon at the headquarters of
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs.
Representative Towner had this
to say:
Il cannot believe under the cir
cumstances that the Committee on
Rules will refuse to give a hearing
during this session. A resolution
has now been introduced under
which net more than three hours
debate is asked for. There will be
time enough during the session to
dispose of it and such is the over
whelming demand of the people
throughout the country that 1 do
not see how the House can fail to
act. A single session would be all
that would be required to make this
bill a law"

Difficulties of relieving the con-

er for nor against the bill, but that
to enlarge the jurisdiction of the
Municipal Court from $500 cases TO
cases involving $4,000 with the
rights of appeal remaining and the

would tend to make matters even
worse. Justice Van Orsdel believed

Urges Revival
OF Russ Trade
To Feed Europe

Resumption of trade with Russia
will reduce bread prices in the
United States and Argentina, but
resumption soon is possible only by
America extending large credits,
Arthur Builard, chief Of the Russian
division OF the State Department,
told the House Foreign Relations
Committee yesterday.
Bullard explained that Russia, II
revived by trade, can, as before the
war, supply Western Europe with
two-thirds of its breadstuffs and
relieve the European demand upon
United States and South American n
wheat.
Since Russian money is practi-
cally valueless direct barter" OF
commodities is necessary unless

Fire Company Sues
For Rescuing House

BERRYVILLE. Va. Feb. s-whst
is said TO be the first case on record
in this section OF q IRE company
suing property owner for serv-
Ices will come before the Circuit
Court Of Clarke County. at Berry
vile, when the RoUss Fire Company,
OF Winchester, asks for $3.50 alleged
to be due on a contract from Noses
O'Brien.
The plaintiff states that when
O'Brien's house was shre near
Berryville he telephoued here for
assistance. and that he agreed dur
ing a hurried conversation TO pay
the fixed charges for mileage and
services rendered. The company
claims il saved the property from
destruction and that O'Brieu has re-
fused TO pay on the ground that he
made no contract and that the com
pany cannot sue. The company has
shown. however, il was incorporated
some years ago. Each side is to be
represented by an array OF legal
talent.
