''SENIORITY''

What is this question of Seniority" that is beinq discussed in connection with the Railroad Strike?
 All employees on railroads accorded seniority of service, if otherwise competent This means that the senior employees arc en- titled to choice of york; and when 1t becomes necessary temporarily to reduce forces that the junior men released and the senioT employees retained.
 A strike ordered by union officers who have connection with any railroad Many employees in compliance with the order quit their jobs and left the railroad service and many did not leave but remained Loyalty at work, accepting the Government Labor Board decision.
 There are thousands of such men who must, under the rules of fair dealing we'll the rules of seniority, be protected and supported. To discharge these men would be ingratitude of the grossest sort.
 In addition to these thousands who re- maned in service, other thousands who wanted to work have been employed ill good faith. The employees in great many cases left other employment with the under standing that if competent they would be tained in their present positions.
 These men-those who remained and those who enliSted-haVe kept the trains in opera ton and the needs and the comfort of the people supplied.
 To now, ask the railroads to set these loyal aside and replace them with the men government, which is concerned through the action of the United States Railroad Labor Board to be disloyal to these thousands of loyal men.

Lively Bantam Scuifle Slated for
Tonight in Chicago Aboard
Boat.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-But Taylor,

Moore, Memphis dancing master, 60
to bat tonight for the Naval post of
the American Legion in the 10
round windup of feature program
aboard the U. S. S. Commodore,
Randolph street and the lake.
Taylor has proved good card
hereabouts. and. has won some
tough fights. In Moore he is meet
ing master boxer, but Bud is no
slow stopper himself. He possesses
a good right hand, and if he doesn't
put too much stress on that, he has
a good chance with the veteran Pal.
But Taylor has shown an inclina-
ton to do too little with his left
hand and try too much with his
right. He has a good left hand, is
srangy, and always dangerous with
that right hand-if he doesn't for
get to use his left, too. No BAN
tamweight, with the exception OF
Joe Lynch, ever has been able to
catch up with Moore with alright
hand, and Joe used his left extern
sively until he got good opening
for his right. And that's what Tay-
lor will have to do.
Phil Collins, matchmaker for the
Naval post. has scheduled three
good six-round preliminarfes to
support the main bout. Popular
prices will prevail
Tomorrow night is another big
boxing night. Joe Burman and
Tommy Murray, Philadelphia BAN
tam, provide the chief attraction in
the card, which is before a south
side suburban club. Burman laid
off for some three months, but for
over month has been working
hard at the Arcade rounding into
shape, and claims he is better for
the rest. In Murray he is meeting
a tough boy, a good boxer. and al
ways ready and willing to mix,
which is Burman's specially.
Four six-round bouts complete
the card. Joey Mclaughlin meets
Ross Murphy; Benny Berrie clashes
with Tim Hurst, Red Bailey boxes
Mickey Perkins. and Jack Reedy
takes on Mike Hirsch.

marked improvement in the form

taken in the way of official recog-

coast TO SEND
five PITCHERS
TO MAJOR SHOW
Yanks Pick Best Of Lot in May Of
Vernon, Who Is Worth
Big Sum.
BIZ. JOHN B. FOSTER.

(COpyrlgnt, 1SZz Dy Inc ATguS.)
New York, N. Y, Dec. 22,-The
five pitchers who are coming into
the big leagues from the Pacific
coast circuit in 1923 are worth
100000 on the .hoof. That meas
ured according to the scale of
values established in baseball since
the prices of everything went up,
including a seat in the bleachers.
According to old values the most
promising would be valued at $10,-
900 and the other would diminish
toward the equivalent of bat bag
and the mascot.
The best of the lot is May, Of
Vernon, who is wanted by the New
York Americans and has really
been taken by the Yanks, although
negotiations have been held up for
the moment because Of the draft
embargo which has been placed on
the Pacific coast league by the &C
ton of the majors. Vernon has
asked if the Yanks mean that any
young player exchanged to the Cal
ifornia circuit must be subject to
the draft.
Incidentally the next thing you,
will hear is that the Pacific Coast
league has declared itself major
league organization and there is
nothing in the world to prevent
such action if the coast clubs wish
to take it.
May won IS games and lost nine

minor leagues that is a whale of a
record in these days when it is al
most impossible to find pitcher
who can win 30 games in a season.

record of games won and lost. II

from 20 to IT'S yards, Paddock was
bitterly disappointed. He was also
peeved.
Being the sort of athlete he is
however, Paddock's mood at the end

To this end he is reported to have
cancelled plans for his projected
trip to New Zealand and is now
preparing himself for his supreme

Assuming he did really break
these records in Southern Califor.

must have been covering 1888 yards
per second which worked out to

that between the 80 and 100 yards
he was covering 1866 yards per
second which would work out about
