United Press Sports Editor.

NEW YORK. Nov. -.--(U. P)-
Maintaining that boxing chief source
of trouble comes from petty larceny
and grand larceny managers William
Muldoon, chairman of the New York
Boxing commission, breaks out with a
novel idea.
Muldoon would give all the mana
gers the air and let the commission
handle their affairs.
He thinks well of a plan to have Il
booking office in the headquarters or
the commission where boxes could
Slgister for work. 4.
Five per cent of the boxers purse
would be eXacted as a commission for
the expenses of maintaining the en-
ployment agency
1t sounds fine and the theory is well
intended but it never would work.
There are some managers who
would benefit the sport by accepting
the gate but there are many others
who are of more credit to the game
than a lot of the boxers.
Good management is a tremendous
factor in the success of n young boxer.

is not geared high enough to enable
him to handle his own affairs. As a
rule the boxers are poor business men
and even if their managers didn't get
n big cut of their money, the promot-
crs would.
The commission has tried to place
limit on the percentage which a man
ager can demand from the earnings of
his charge, but it did not work out.
For forms sake manager can file
n contract with the commission show
ing that he is asking only 10 per cent
for his share, but he can have an out
side agreement standing for another
40 per cent.
Many managers have only verbat
agreement with their boxers. Jack
kearns and Jack Dempsey are said 10
work on a $3.50 agreement, but they
have nothing but a verbal understand
Ing. Billy Gibson and Benny Leonard
are said to split all their earnings even. !
Very few pilots work for les sthan 80
per cent
No trouble, however, comes from.
the champions and the headliners. It
Is the management of the little fellows
the preliminary boys and the young
sters just starting in the game that
constitutes the evil

$40 Oto $500 for preliminary and by
the time the manager takes his share
and hands the boxer a bill for train
ing and expenses, he sometimes has
about $25 left.

Perhaps the worst difficulty faced
hy the commission is to break up the
cliques existing between prom2tefs
and a certain set of managers, Inc
evil has been broken up fairly WeH'
but it still exists in some of the hlS
clubs.

TEN COMMANDMENTS
APPLIED TO BELTS

The following are ten of the many
commandments that govern the proper
installation and operation of belts and
belt work, according to c. A. Scholl of
the department of farm mechanics, HI
ilnois University:
a. Don't use mineral oils on any
belt; for leather use mixture of meats.
foot, cod, tallow, wool grease; any one
or all are good; for rubber and CANDY
use little raw linseed oil or q good
belt dressing that contains no resin.
d (2.) Don't allow leather belts to get
hard, dirty or greasy. Wash quickly
with mild soap, dry at once, apply
dressing with u brush or paste on out
side and work in.
(3.) Don It allow dressing or dirt to
accumulate on any belt or pully. Re-
move by careful scraping or washing.
(4.) Don't run belts in vertical
position. Keep them on slant or'hor-
iZontal. t'' ~ e.' . -
(5.) Don t use small pulleys. Allow
two inches I'M diameter for every ply
belt, and a single leather belt is equiv
alent to a 4-ply fabric belt.
Co., Don't use &; narrow, tight belt.
Use a. NlucT DtIt VIII lcSS tcHSIOH. II

ier on belt, bearings and motor.
a. Don t use a thick belt; keep to
wider, more flexible belts, especially
g. IDonsfi hdRe balkHNprigs that
hammer the lifesout tof thesdnA and ma
chine.
Co.. Don't run belt tod ast. Keep
it below 1000 feet per infinite, better
around 2500 to 5000.
(10.)Don overload a belt. A
screeehing sound says that the belt is
slipping. When~a flexible, clean belt,
with proper tension still slips, it is ov.
erloaded. The proper tension belt is
sixty pounds per. inch of width for a
single leather belt or a 4,px fabric,
and 100 pounds per inch fora double
leather-er 6ply fabric.

COTTON ACREAGE TO
DOUBLE This
YEAR

Cotton acreage double last season 8
production was predicted here today
by #. j. West of Calexico, head of the
Calexico Compress company and an au-
thority on cotton industry.
Such production applies as well to
the American side of the Imperial
Valley as well as the Lower California
territory, he asserted.
"There were 10000 acres of cotton
in Lower California last year, said
Mr.. West ''In Imperial county the
acreage was approximately 25,000."
Mr.. West then declared that this
year the paintings so far indicate a
possible acreage of 100000 in Lower
California, with fully $4,000 on the
American side.
The crop total for Lower California
and Imperial county last season is
said by Mr.. West to have been $4,000
bales, calculating half bale to the
acre. Nearly $4,000 bales have been
compressed thus far this winter, Mr.
West advised. Lower ginning charges
and labor costs have proved beneficial
10 cotton growers, he said, and will
prove profitable again during the 1929
season, he predicted.

The two Wrigley factories in Brook
lyn and Chicago are turning out an
average of 100000 sticks of gum
a day.
What built up this enormous bust
ness in a few years?
Answer: Advertising!
Admittedly ,Wrigley had to have a
gum that pleased the public taste.
But many other gum companies, with
a satisfactory product, remain small
because they haven't advertised on a
big scale.

NEW UNIFORMS=FOR
ARMY OF IRISH
FREESTATE
United Press Leased Wire

DUBLIN, Feb. GA half dozen
young men in impressed civilian clothes
and leather leggins-some even wear
ing derby -patrolling the sidewalk
before the City Hall, rifle on shoulder,
mark the death and birth respectively
of the eras of war and peace in Ireland.
They are the ''mlrder gangsters,' -
the assassins' and "ruffians' who
won for Ireland the recently signed
treaty of peace-the City Hall guard Of
the Dublin brigade, Irish Republican
army.
They are also part of the nucleus
from which will be recruited the new
Free State of from 10000 to 10000 men
that Ireland will equip under the
treaty.
Like their leaders, they are rather
disappointing to anyone who has read
about them and their exploits. They
are very much like the ordinary Ameri-
cat big or small town youth, except
that they don't have their clothes
pressed or their hair cut so often.
Within few weeks, Minister Of De-
fense Mulcahy plans to have enough
uniforms for all I. r. A. men on active
service. They will be identical with the
few uniforms now in existence-heath
er, Of the same patterns as those the
British and American armies for en-
listed men and Of the British army fol
officers. All will wear leather leggint
aud felt hats, similar in pattern to thu
campaign hats in the American army
but green in color and with one sid'
turned and fastened with o erest-uov
that Of the Republic; later probably
that Of the Free State.
| The army probably viii be equipped
with British service rifles and pistols
with which most Of the men are mor'
or lssS familiar.

Pasadena Star-News: Sentiments
that will be highly appreciated through
out this country We're expressed in an
address before the Bohemian Club IN
San Francisco, by Baron Kato, Min
lister of the Navy of Japan and del
egate to the Arms Conference. He said
that war itself has been serapped, as
well as naval armament. These words
from him will be received with es
pecial satisfaction throughout Ameri
ca:
We might as well admit that re-
lations between the United States
and Japan were somewhat strained
at times in the past. This is not
now the ease. We understand
each other and for the first time
we have faced each other frankly
and in the open. AS Il result, all
distrust has been removed and our
relations established on more than
sentimental grounds. / shall be
glad to report to my government
and country that the Nation across
the seas is our true friend.
1t is to be hoped that the militarists
and !iingoists of Japan will be modified
by this kind of report from Baron
Kato. >, Should all statesmen of Japar
and all the people of Japan show the
spirit that Baron Kato has, since ht
came t9l the Arms Conference, tn,
United States and Japan could settl,
any differences that might arise be
tween them without serious friction.
