 Strikebreakers Are Expensive.
 In February, 1921, when the receiv- CT sought to invoke wage reduction of 20 per cent. in violation of de- cision of the Labor Board, the em- ployes, from trackman to engineer, went on strike. For a time the re- ceiver endeavored to operate with strikebreakers, but found this more expensive than paying the standard wage, and on July 3I the operation of trains stopped, since which time the road has been dead
 Representatives of the 16 national railroad labor organizations who ap- peared at the hearing held that in view of the circumstances surround ing this case hte board had no juris- diction and asked for an order of dis mlssal. They also contended that there had not been held in, compli- ance with section 3oI of the tran sportation act the conferences con- templated by said section for the con- sideration of the justness and reason ableness of the wage scale proposed by the roads receiver. These views did not prevail with the board.

Hot Springs, Ark, March 5-Sit- ting on the bench for five weeks alter the pennant season has begun, com pelled to sit there and do nothing when that big bat of his is yearning for a chance to crown the ball, un- able to come to the help of his team when he might be just the man need ed-well, that's going to be hard on one as active as Babe" Ruth, the man who loves a fight and baseball for their own sakes. That won't be the least part of his punishment.
 Babes simple II hope so,' when asked if he thought Judge Landis would lift his sentence had lot of feeling behind it. It was eloquent with desire. He is keeping his feel- ings to himself, but there is a quiet earnestness in his bearing and the way he has gone about his prepara- ton work here that points to more scrious-minded Ruth.

 Better health is not only needed in industry for the advancement of general health and welfare. but also for industry in eliminating a very serious waste It is estimated by a very thorough investigation made by seven different health commissioners, involving more than 2,8oo,ooo persons, that for all wage earners about I-3 per cent. of their total time is lost because of sickness"

 League

Neal Ball, second baseman and manager of the New Haven Eastern League club, for the last three years Is to join the ranks of managers with the announcement made that the former major leaguer has been named pilot of the Augusta club ot the South Atlantic League.
 Ball, it is believed. was engaged to manage susasea through Ty Cobb's influence as tAe "Georgia Peach" has bought an interest in the club. Cobb is also stockholder in the New Haven club. Balls extensive expert ence as a ball player, both in the minors and majors should go a long way in making him a successful leader

Sharpe In Favor
 of 3-Point Goal
Former Yale Coach Comes Out With
 Basketball Rule Suggestion.

Dr. Al Sharpe, one of the foremost athletic directors of the collegiate ranks and former athletic head at Yale, puts forward good suggestion for scoring i'll basketball He is of the opinion that the present system of developing a man for foul-goal throwing is absolutely necessary. Ac- cording to Sharpe the team play of an aggregation would be increased if three points were allowed for field goal. Doubtless this would increase the scoring as 1t was when the two hand dribble was permitted.
 By allowing another point for field goal scoring would help the weaker teams, especially those not depending so much on consistent foulgoal tosSer. In recent years the coaches of the college teams have dwelt to such an extent on the defensive that the scoring in the league games has been noticeably low. No doubt the personal foul ruling has done a great deal toward shaving the scores.

FREIGHT RATES BLAMED.

New York, March 5-Freight rates on food products and other commo- dities must be reduced before the cost of living can be lowered, said J. w. Herscher, president of the National Wholesale Grocers' Association. He cited rates on sugar as an illustration of present charges. The cost to ship sugar in 1914 from New York to points on the Ohio river was 16 1-4 cents, while the present rate is so cents, or 200 per cent. increase in transportation charges in car load lots from the refner to the wholesaler.
 It was stated that nine-tenths of the food products, exclusive of meat, shipped by rail, is transported in less than car load quantities, and there fore takes a higher rate.

ADAIR DEFEATS MOE HERSCOVITCH
 DESPITE WALLOP
Meanwhile Pal Moran Stays Ten Rounds With Leonard When
 Champ Hurts Hand

Moe Herscovitch, Canadian welter- weight who sprung a surprise when he polished off Jimmy Kelley III one round, f1ivvered Saturday night in his bount with Barney Adair at New York.
 Herscovitch finished on the losing end of the decision, the judges ruling Alair the winner after a 12-round battle Adair, awake to the fact that Hersco- witch packs a terrific right hand, never gave the Canadian a chance to get set to deliver his wallop. Adair, who is in Leo P. Flynn's stable was contented to work left jab consistently enough to bring. ehi1n the award.
 What undoubtedly permitted Pal Mo- ran to stay ten rounds with Benny Leonard Saturday night in the New Or leans bout was an injury to the cham pion i'll the first round. Leonard hurt his right hand at the start of hostilities and for the remainder of the distance was forced to do most of his execution with his left mitt.
 Leo Flynn has mapped out an inten- sive campaign for Dave Shade, San Francisco welterweight, who recently battled Jack Britton to 15-round draw. Shades performance against the WeltcfWe1Slt CndI1lp1On mas created de- mand for the Californians throughout the country. As aennsenue1lce five en- agreements have been accepted for the Coast boxer. Qu Mareh-6 Shade is scheduled to meet Frankie Schoell for l2 rounds at Buffalo. The Californian's next ring appearance will be in Boston on the night of March 13 where he clashes with Eddie Shevlin for 12 rounds The fourth bout will be held in Wilkes barre, Pa, on March 16 when Shade clashes with Willie Riley for ten rounds On the night of March 26 Shade will ap- pear III a 1O-round mix against Morrie Schaifer of Denver at Omaha, Neb.
