Under one pretext or another 1t is

There are still 100. 900 or more
one-time Russian soldiers In Ger

though the number OF Germans still
held in Russia has been reduced to

way Harding won.

so much. Maybe IL doesn't. but still
we believe Dempsey can lick Johnny

Carpenter has gained half
pound since he began training. At
that rate hc'n be as heavy as Dcmp-
sey by July. 1924, and as heavy as
Willard by April, 1882.

Moore played baseball In Cleve-

he learned some valuable pointers

Recently Sig got an idea In his
head that almost every kind OF sport
has coach Tor the kids. But for
some reason. baseball has no coach
or instructor until the boy gets to
college.
Moore's idea was TO show the boys
how TO bat. how TO pitch curves.
how to slide. and how to tag q man
as he came toward the base; IN fact
show them how TO play baseball.
He took the idea to Judge Ben b.
