BOXING Is REGAINIlNG
POPULARITY IN EVERY
SECTION OF COUNTRY

New York, Jan. l9.-Among the
many sports under the jurisdiction
of the Amateur Athletic Union. which
have received the benefit of revived
interest and popular support since the
overseas soldier athletes and Olympic
champions returned 10 the United
States, none seems to have been given
a greater impetus than boxing. From
every division throughout the coun-
try reports are being received daily
at Amateur Athletic headquarters
here giving unqualified assurance of
the popularity of boxing in all sec.
tions. Arrangements for tournaments
with the prospect Of Bringing about
series of interstate and intersectional
glove contests, are now being per-
fected in the hope that before the
end OF this year national cham
pionship meeting Of the best men
available in every class, from heavy
weights to the bantams, may be
brought to successful issue.
Renewed interest in this branch
of athletics is not confined to ma
tional contests alone. The recent
arrival of English boxers, represent
ing the British army and navy and
the London police force, to compete
with amateur glove wielders repre-
senting the United States army and
navy and the New York police de-

movement which promises to deveSp
annual or semi-annual international
contests in which other European
countries will supply competitors in
the near future.
No better indication Of the firm
hold which amateur boxing bouts have
on the followers of the sport could be
given than the unusually large at
tendance which the New York state
championship bouts attracted to the
Madison Square Garden here this
month. The tournament at first was
10 be two night affair but so many
entries We're received the officials
and three nights were required in
order to complete the program Of rs
bouts. From an attendance stand
point the tournament was wonderfully
well pauonizcd, in fact no such
crowds have gathered here at similar
exhibitions in the last quarter Of Il
century. The number Of spectators
each night greatly exceeded the gen
erous gatherings which Witnessed the

joycd its halcyon days many years

BUY S.ANELN-BUT BUY
AND BUY NOW

(E. W. Sinclair, Banker, in Tulsa
Trlbune)
Buy-but buy sanely,' is good adj
vice, based on logic that is abso-
lutely sound" Earl w. Sinclair, presi-
dent of the Exchange National Bank
declared today in q discussion Of the
stagnation which is facing the coun-
try.
"To indulge in eXtravagant buying
or to cease buying altogether holds
out grave dangers eventually, not
only for the business stability Of the
country but for the consumer him
SELF" he added.
There is a tendency to jump quick
ly from one extreme to another. Moth
ing is more dangerous to business
big and little alike, and nothing is
more likely to bring on a panic with
its resultant evils and suffering for
the wage Garner. Reforms TO be ef-
fective must be wrought sanely and
gradually and the adjustment OF this
problem is no exception.
"a few months ago we heard
everywhere complaint Of the high
cost OF living. 1t had been brought
on in part. but not altogether. be-
cause so many people were trying
10 live beyond their means. They
were buying eXtravagantly, without
regard to the price and without really
considering their needs This state
OF affairs had TO terminate. and it
did.
while there is still foolish and cx-
travagant buying in some instances,
the great bulk of the people have
swung suddenly TO the other extreme.
Ey almost concerted action they have
ceased buying articles, wearing ap-
parcl-in other words. the retail-stores
are practically facing a boycott as
effective as II II had been declared
by authority Of some organized body.
The argument OF merchants and
financiers. who are organizing to in
duce buying on a sane basis. is
sound. This sudden slump in busi-

cal situation, with a stock on his
hands and no business. But in the
near future it is liable to react on
the consumer by restoring high prices
the very thing it seeks to prevent
Eventually the public must buy.
When the public wardrobe becomes
depleted all will begin buying at the
same time just as all quit buying
at the same time. During this period
of boycott the merchants have re-
duced their stocks, the factories have
Sut down their output and laid off
thousands of their employees because
there was no demand for their goods.
Then. with the output low and
the people will begin TO buy again.
What will be the result? 1t is liable
TO be quick ascent of prices TO the
high peak they formerly occupied,
or even beyond that, demand Again,
because they have denied themselves
for months, many people are apt to
rush to the other extreme and begin
eXtrapgant buying.
"To my mind the best way to meet
the problem, as between merchant
and consumer, is for the latter to 90
on buying just as his needs require,
but to buy sanely and not spend
more than he can afford If this is
done the nation over. # is cconomi-
cally sound to say that prices should
gradually descend and should stay
down unless unforeseen conditions
arise.
But If the consumer goes on buy
ing. the merchant must let him buy.
That is, there must be no proritcer-
ing. The merchant must sell his
goods for what they are really worth
and the factory must not try 10 make
enormous profits out OF its output.
There must be careful and full CO.
operation ON all sides.
SHOULD the public begin to buy
again and the merchant or manu-
facturer take advantage Of it to be-
gin boosting prices. then / could not
blame the consumer for reverting to
the partial boycott which seems to
prevail today, and that is probably
what he would do. The public can
NOT expect the bottom to drop out

TOug hest of All
Tie Games With Harvard and
Pitt Still Leave Penn State
Leading the East.

The inability Of Penn State TO get
better than a tie against Pittsburg
in the Thanksgiving day game was
a surprise and then again It wasn't.
The Penn State team unQuestion-
ably had gone stale. In addition, the
muddy field made It impossible for
the fast Penn backs TO show TO ad-
vantage.
A lot Of the football experts had
the proper dope on State when they
gave Pittsburg an outside chance TO
win. and predicted the game would
be decided by a close score either
way.
Penn State is the best team in the
east, despite the fact that II was
able to get nothing better than a tie
with Pittsburg, a team that has been
beaten several times during the sea-
son.
doubt IL any football team in the
country ever attempted a harder
schedule than Penn State faced this
year Seven straight games. all Of
them against strong elevens. was the
task that Coach Hugo Bezdek was
up against.
First came North Carolina State,
very fair team. Then came the
always troublesome Lehigh eleven.
In rapid order followed Harvard,
Georgia Tech. Carnegie Tech. Navy
and Pittsburg.
Penn State was at the top OF its
game against the Navy. when il
played its greatest exhibition and
decisively defeated the great Navy
eleven. The team undoubtedly was a
bit stale against Pitt, and this state
ment does not detract in any way
from the great comeback made by
Warmers eleven.
Supporters OF Lafayette, Cornell
and others may question the supe-
riority of Penn State, but most
critics will give the team the credit
IL deserves.

Jake Schafer Tells How He Took
Billiard Title From Willie Hoppe
BY JACOB sOHAEFER. JR.

I have always believed in the
theory that success comes to him
who waits and works-especially
works.
For almost II years. ever since
the billiard championship was trans
ferred from my father to Hoppe. I
have been waiting. practicing con-
stantly and working to get the title
back TO our-the Schaefer-family
But playing at billiards. that IS
playing at them we'll and proficient
ly, is unlike anything else in the
world that 1 can think Of.
The expert billiard player, or the
player who aspires to become ex-
pert at the game. in my estimation
can never acquire sufficient skill
through his own endeavor. Primar-
lily he must have been born with the
trait of the cue and the stroke"
In other words. billiards. not the

OWNER FRAZEE MAY
SELL BOSTON CLUB

When Pres't Johnson OF the
American league Wills that a certain
nlagnate is undesirable and must go,
he usually gets the dec sion.
Ever since Harry Frazee bought
the Boston Red Sox, he has been a
thorn in the side of the American
league leader. Frazee didn't run a
ball club TO suit Johnson and soon
found it out.
Frazee in turn started the big war
in the American league that re-
suited in the New York, Chicago and
Boston clubs lining up against John
son and the other FIVE remaining
loyal.
Last year was a tough one for the
Boston club. despite the fact that
the team made a very creditable
showing. Since Frazee took charge
of the Boston club, the main thing
he has done has been selling his star
players. This hasn't set very we'll
with the Boston public. who have
just naturally quit on the Red SOx.
Report has it that Frazee is ready
to sell. Report also has it that
there are two purchasers for the
club. One OF them. a close friend
of Clarke Griffith, is said to be ready
to pay his price.
Thus II looks as If Pres't johnson
was TO nave his way after all. al
though Frazee has proven a rather
tough individual to put the skids
under. New ownership in Bost on
would be a great thing for the
American league. incidentally, II
would prove a gold mine for the
owners. as Boston is a great bal
town.
