$736. These figures are not arrived at
by guess work. They have been as
certained by one Of the greatest
economists in America, former en-
ploye of the national government.
The decrease in the wages of railroad
men is typical of the decrease in the
actual wage Of other workers. In
view of the above facts there is small
likelihood Of the workers having very
many "big sixes." Farmers can hard
ly appreciate the bare cost of living
in cities and towns.

WYOMING STIRRING

Word has just been received from
James Maloney, state manager Of the
Wyoming branch to the effect that a
convention was held on July IA at
which a full state ticket: was NOM
mated.
George Kinder was nominated for
governor to run as the candidate of
the Farmer-Labor party. Mr.. Kind
Ter lis man who is well known as a
progressive and stands unqualifedly
for the entire program of the League.
We have not yet learned the names
of the other candidates indorsed for
state Offices.
Max Alderman of Powell, Wyo., was
chosen state secretary of the League.
Mr. Alderman has been active in the
progressive cause for many years and
will make an excellent executive of
the Wyoming branch.
1t looks as though Wyoming is
going to join the procession and be
on the League political map from now
on.

FEW "BIG SKIES"

Editor National Leader: I was
talking to a merchant in regard to
the shop strike that is going on and
he said the workers are drawing big
wages and after the days work is
done they get in their big six-passen-
ger cars and go to the restaurant for
their meals.
Now if you can give few facts
in regard to the wages and what per
cent of the workers have six-passen-
ger cars and take their meals at the
restaurant, and what wages the rail-
way men draw, it will be appreciated.

EDITORS NOTE: According to
Basil Manly, former joint chairman
national war labor board (Taft was
the other chairnan) the purchasing
power of the average annual earn
ings of railroad employees has declined
considerable since 1900. The average
wage of engineers in 1900 was 81 ,161,
firemen 1862, conductors $1,000, train
men $604, machinists $698, trackmen
$311, telegraph operators $641. In
1921 this average wage had declined
with respect to buying power to 81, ,057
for engineers, fremen SITS, conductors
1912, trainmen $751, machinists $815,
trackmen 1897, telegraph operators

Dundee Seeking
Title Bout With
Johnny KiIbane

Johnny Dundee is seeking new
fields TO conquer.
Dundee is the holder OF the junior
lightweight championship.
He seeks to capture the feather
weight title from Johnny Kilhane.
In his last battle with Charley
White OF Chicago, Dundee weighed
1864 pounds.
He feels certain that Il will be a
much easier matter for him TO make
the featherweight limit than Kilbane.
Here is the way Dundee sums up
his ambitions in the fight game.
There is lot OF logic in his argu-
ment:
"The junior lightweight title is too
new to carry any prestige. For years
have been giving away from five
TO ten pounds and getting no credit
for it,
"The fcatherweight Is recognized
article. II carries with II prestige
and big purses am convinced ! am
the best man in the world at the
featherweight limit.
Il am going to prepare formal
challenge for Kilbane. l feel that !
am the logical contender. II | get
the chance j will win the title. Incl
dentaily will give II little exercise
instead Of putting IL in mothballs."
The records show that Dundee and
Kilbane have met twice. shortly at
ter Kilbane won the title in 1912 he
met Dundee In a i0-round no-decision
affair. There was little to choose
between the two.
The following year the two met in
a 20-round bout for the title. Ref
cree Charley Eyton declared 1t a
draw. 1t was a tight squeeze for
the champion.
On form Dundee is certainly en-
titled to a chance IL he can make the
weight

Speaking 0fR0ugh Sport
Consider The CINdiNtOYS
Rv RoRERT 1. RlPEY

Boxing-the art of self defense-is
instructive with life. 1t is the first
law Of nature. Man has used his
fists for weapons since the dawn OF
history.
1t is little, wonder then. that box
ing is one of the Oldest sports in the
world.
The, ancient Greeks ascribed the
invention of boxing to their mythical
hero, Theseus, son Of H1geus, king OF
Athens, who was supposed to have
lived more than 1000 years ago.
Theseus evidently was a good all
round man. He slew the Minotaur,
killed Procrustes, and performed
many other startling feats of valor,
and so qualities very well as the in
ventor of fisticuffs.
However, we first hear of boxing
as a defined-but not refined-sport
in the annals of the early Olympic
games, about 500 B. G.
The first boxing matches were hor-
rible affairs. The ancient boxers
fought with the caestus and they
fought to finish, which was death.
The castus was the original boxing
glove. 1t was made of leather and
iron, and sometimes short spikes
were fixed on the knuckles OF the
hand. You can only imagine the
terrible punishment meted out with
such cruel weapons. Remember, too,
that the rules did not allow foot
work--nO backing up or side-step-
ping. 1t was give and take and he
was considered a coward who tried

tered countenance and mangled ears.
This statue is probably of Theage-
nes Of Thasos, the greatest fighter OF
antiquity. Theagenes would have
made a worthy opponent for Jack
Dempsey.
This tough old baby was crowned
with the wreath OF victory l,400
times!
His bloody head was unbowed in
the tournaments of nine Nemsen
Games, ten Ksthmian Games, three
Pythian Games and two Olympiads.
Added TO His Victories
And in addition to this. the mighty
Theagenes was victorious in the
Pancratium in ten Isthmian Games,
and one Olympiad.
The Pancratium was a horrible
contest. 1t was a fight to the death
without weapons. The contestants
absolutely naked-simply fought to
kill with every means in their power
There were no rules, as nothing was
barred. They could bite, gouge, kick,
strike. strangle-anything TO worst
and weary their opponent until
death awarded victory.

must have been practised in England
many centuries before the advent of
James Figg. it is this worthy that
historians honor as the father of
prize fighting" riggs name is the
first on the long roll OF English prize
ring champions, and it was Figg who
established the first boxing school IN
1T19. In those day the art was rath-
er crude. The men fought to a finish

Few Long Games
Played In Major
Leagues In 1921

A lively ball and mediocre pltcnlng
makes for more hitting, which means
larger scores and less inning games.
Air-tight pitching makes for light
hitting games. which means close
scores. Light hitting is certain TO
furnish more extra inning games than
free hitting.
The season of 1921 was remarkable
in many ways. The lively ball. the
mediocre pitching, made for home
runs galore. many lop- sided scores
and few extra inning games,
In a season replete with free hit
ting, the rooters had little chance TO
enthuse over extra inning affairs.
Coupled with the lop- sided scores
was the fact that on the whole the
teams in the two major leagues were
not as evenly matched as In former
years.
In the American league last year
Cleveland and New York had decided
advantage over the rest of the field.
The other six clubs were spread out,
it being possible to draw line Of dis
tinction almost anywhere.
In the National league the Giants
and Pirates were the class of the
league. Pittsburg led most of the
way, only to falter in the stretch,
where II became test petWeeh the
two teams.
With the sharp line of distinction
that existed in both leagues, coupled
with the other conditions such as
poor pitching and a lively ball, it is
not surprising that extra inning
games were scarce last year.
In the National league the longest
game of the season only went II in
nings. In the American league Wash
ington and St. Louis went 10 innings.

One OF the ways 10 cuTD IHe uecell
and dishonesty that has crept into
college athletics. is to permit athletes
who have the ability. to play ball
during the summer sor pay.
There should be certain restric-
tions placed on such permission. 1t
might be wise to say that il is all
right to play baseball for pay, pro-
vided the team is in no way con-
nected with organized professional
baseball.
Baseball offers a big field for the
college athlete. Every small town in
the United States has it's representa-
tive team. The rivalry that exists
between some of the neighboring
small towns is mighty keen. In many
cases the promoters have no thought
of expense. Victory is the big thing,

1t is very easy matter to evade

Such an evasion makes for deceit.

joke.

knowing Big Ten conditions rela-
tive to professionalism, Voss saw
that the boys were protected on that
score. Here is the way Voss ex-
plains it:
"Vogel and, Hellstrom came to Den
ison at my Invitation. They worked
on a paving job. They received their
pay from the contractor who had
charge of it. They played two or
three games of ball a week. Not
one cent did they receive for playing
ball. but / might add they were well
paid for their work on the paving
job.
I'VE took care of their room and
board. The contractor allowed them
lots of leisure time at nearby lake.
I supplied them with the use of an
automobile. They went back to
Champaign in the fall with a. sock
full of money to carry them through
the year. There is no chance of
declaring them professionals. We
We're very careful about that The
state of Iowa was full of Big Ten
ball players last year playing under
the same conditions"
Summer ball should be permitted.
That would do away with deceit.
From September until June, the ath-
Ietes should be placed on their honor.
Playing any sport outside of the coli
lege during that time should call for
