NEW YORK. Dec. 14.-After their
usual session Of gas and Oratory the
major league club owners can dig
back in for the rest Of the season
and tune their ears for the music
of the 1928 turnstile.
The magnates take themselves and
their heavy sessions and conferences
very seriously and it's well they do.
Very few others are interested. As
long as they leave the game alone,
they can't damage It very much.
Charles Ebbets. owner OF the
Brooklyn club, IS &c sail for Europe
shortly and he won't be- back until
u IS time TO go 10 Florida for the
late winter season. Tough lifei
Ebbets says the ball players are be-
ing paid so much money that the
club owners cannot profit.
The only ball payers away from
home soil that can be recalled off,
hand and the major leaguers touring
the Orient and the Japanese govern
INIT is paying their expenses.
Because OF some dispute over the
European middeweight and bantam
weight championship, the British
Board OF Boxing control has With
drawn from the International Boxing
union
France resents the withdrawal on
the grounds that even with the sup
port of the United States the union
could not function without the Brit
!sh.
Americas entry into the union
could not help the International body
according 70 one OF the London
papers. which added-"The United
States cannot. govern boxing I'm her
own land. How could she then be
expected 10 introduce order and
harmony into the continental
sphere?"
While the United States might not
be able TO produce harmony in EU-
rope, yet it's a clECh that Uncle sam
could produce some order in any dis
putes about championships. All the
trusty Uncle would have 10 do
would be 10 send some good boy
over and let him knock out both
OF the debaters and restore order.
Some cold night this winter figure
this out:
Syracuse beat Nebraska: Nebraska

Georgia Tech; Navy beat Georgia
Tech, Pennsylvania beat the Navy.
Pittsburg bea: Pennsylvania: La
fayette beat Pittsburs, Washington
and Jefferson beat Lafayette Detroit

Springfield beat Detroit; West Point
beat Springfield: Notre Dame tied
the Army; the Army tied Yale. Yale
lost 10 Iowa: Princeton and Harvard
What does that make Columbia and
who won the series?
Gene Tunney former American
light heavywei ght title holder and
the champion of the a. +. T., seems
TO be developing dghtinE spirit.
That's all he needs 20 reach the top.
While his courage was never ques-
toned in the early part OF his car
eer he did not seem 70 possess the
instinct or the desire 20 finish any
opponent. Tunney probably will
never get any heavier than a cruiser.
or he won't be a dangerous man for
Dempsey some day in the future.
Notre Dame went through a sche-
dule this year that was arranged last
year when the south Bend university
expected 10 haev one OF the greatest
teams Of al times this season. Most
OF the stars went out on a outlaw
expedition and Notre Dame came out
or IL with a whale OF a schedule and
a minnow or a team.
Considering the material he had

Rockne did wonders in putting out
