GIBBONS OR BRENNAN I
NEXT FOE FOR JACK
Short Lapse Needed Before Another Heavyweight Till,
Battle Is Put On-St. Paul Man Near
Reach of ChalIenger's Perch *.
BY GRANTLAND RICE

TT WILL be some time before an
= other brace of hcavyweights battle
for purse that goes as high as $780,,
600. A few weeks nt least But in the
meanwhile there are still q few left who
will be quite willing to take a portion Of
what happens TO be left. and the crop is
fairly good. A short lapse will be
needed for every one to take an extra
breath or two before another cham
pionship is mentioned, but the prospects
will soon begin to pop out of the offing
for casual. il not close, inspection.
The Best Ones
There is Tom Gibbons, for one exam
pie. He may not be world -beatcr,
but he has been slogging steadily along
until he has come within reach of the
challengers perch.
And there is still Bill Brennan.
Dempsey Is the only man who has ever
knocked him out. and Dempsey needed
twelve rounds in which to fire the vic
torious salute.
What's the matter with friendly ex-
change between Thomas and William?
Then We would know just bit more as
to how they should be classified. A
brennan Gibbons match would be some
thing to look upon. and in addition IL
would help untangle the snarl. 1t would
be much better to have the winner Of
this match star for the championship
than to have either move for 1t in a di-
rect line without testing joust by way
Of further trial. Just ut present these
two seem to be the best among the white
heavyweights in line.
Tiger Pairs
FIRST it was Cobb and Crawford.
L One of the standing lines of the
game used to be Cobb doubles to right
and Crawford drives him home
Then It was Cobb and Vench. Not
quite up to the Cobb Crawford COM
bination in punching power, but still
extremely stout.
Now it Is Cobb and Hcilman, or, per-
haps, Heilman and Cobb. This pair,
up to date. is the greatest of them all.
They average 400. which is something
above the average Of any other Tiger
combination. 1t is even well above the
average Of the old Lajoie- Jackson team
up before the Shoeless One gave up base
ball for pillow fighting.
AS it runs, the three ply slugging
carnival among Heiman, Speaker and
Cobb goes merrily on, with Ruth and
Sisler lowering around the outskirts,

mond and Orthodox streets. The yis-
itors have Hubbard In the box, but the
selection of Ed Caskey is uncertain.

prove more effective from now on with
the return of Bill Fish, the former
Philly catcher.

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. lo.--Fea-

terday that the Volstead act repeals
the old liquor revenue laws of the
.conntry and ordered the release

victed under the old statute.
In ruling favorably on habeas

Judge Pollock said:
IF the revenue laws renamed
in force after the passage OF tne
Volstead act the government would
Ne put in the position Of collecting
money for violations of the law, ,
Should the ruling be sustained
by the supreme court, it AFFORDS Il

.'Rule of Reason"
"You say that the board is not
insensibfe of the fact that the ma
tionai agreements affect the eX-
nenditures of the railroads. ana
mai if any are unjust and unrea-
sonabIe they constitute an unwar-
ranted burden upon the railroads
and nublic. The matter OF rules
.and working conditions has been
in controversy since the railroads
were returned to private operation;
The unwarranted burden imposed
nv unreasonable rules and working
conditions is especially great and
dangerous at time of financial
stress. 1t is therefore, gratifying
that YOU announce you intend TO
nroceed to n determination OF the
raasonableness of the existing
agreements, with the utmost prac-
ticable expedition. 4 w
with regard to the wages OF

Railway Executives will take inn
mediate steps to have that matter
presented in definite controversies
