for pay increase OF 1920 a year upon
Which the Board of Estimate will hold

Endorsements. supplemented by vol
untary testimony that the city budget
can afford the increase, have been given
by five Supreme Court Justices two
county judges and scores of business, la
Dor and civic leaders. according to the
committee.
A fireman. the joint statement indi-
Gates, receives 50 cents for each OF the
eighty-four hours he works a week. and a
patrolr.an 90 cents for seventy-seven
hours. The man vino lays q brick or
coats a lath receives 1925 an nour ard
works forty-four hours.

Pay of bricklayers. plasterers and
such other artisans. whose principal peril
Is called their ladders and their dinner

More than twenty policemen have been

Organized labor has won it's highest
wages for night work. because these

More than one-half patrolmau's tours
are after dark. Half the fireman's day
Is night.
Unlike all other classes patrolmen and
firemen are prohibited from engaging in
outside work for pay. Their one wage
Is their only wage.
Patrolmen pay for everything they
wear or use.-even their bullets. Fire
men must make good any part OF their
equipment destroyed or damaged at a
fire. Each man foots an annual man
datory bill in excess OF 5000.
No suburban life and lower rents for
these men. the committee concludes. The
code forbids their living outside the city
limits. The proposed increase is for
patrolmen who have served five years
and firemen who have served three.

MURPHY SPEECHLESS
BUT FAR FROM DUMB
Keeps Counsel on Eve Of
Hearst-Smith Clash at SYRIA
cuse on Thursday.
MILLER. ALSO Is SILENT
Little Doubt Remains, How
ever, That Governor Will
Accept Nomination.
MILLER. ALSO IS SILENT

After a day OF conferences and specu-
iation among the Tammany cohorts
yesterday one fact stood out definitely
in the Democratic political muddle last
night. That was that the convention
will meet Thursday at Syracuse.
AS for what may take place then and
there. one mans guess was as good as
anothers. unless II be Charles f. Muir
ply. boss OF Tammany Hall Mr.. Muir
ply remained in HIS characteristic state
Of speechlessness.
That state of affairs left the situation
about as follows:
William Randolph Hearst will get the
nomination for Governor IL Murphy
dares go against the personal wishes
Of about 30 per cent. of the delegates
Or Al Smith will get the nomination
il Murphy dares go against the strength
of Hearst and Mayor Hylan and can
swallow his own jealousy of Smith 6
position of power in the party. Or
some third man. possibly Mayor Hylan.
will get it II Murphy is urs5le to face
the music IN passing out the word for
either Hearst or Smith.
Republicans Meet Wednesday.
The foregoing appears to have been
the situation for weeks. and yesterday
there was no prospect that the con-
vention would meet with any material
change i'm that problem for its solu-
tion.
The Republican convention. which
meets Wednesday in Albany. is ready
to force the nomination for another
term upon Gov. Miller, whether he
wishes II or not.
The party is satisfied with the record
the Governor has made, and there has
been no suggestion Of any other candf-
date for the place. Even the favorte
son booms, of which there will be many
In the Democratic convention. are con-
spicuous by their prospective absence at
Albany.
Just what the lineup OF other candi-
dates on the ticket with Gov. Miller will
b., is problematical. That there will be
virtually complete change of slate
from that which went into office with
him two years ago is considered fairly
certain.
Wood May Go on Bench.
In that connection there was an ap-
parently well authenticated report yes
terday that Jeremiah Wood, Lieutenant
Governor. probably will get the appoint
ment to the next vacancy on the Court
Of Claims bench, in event he is not re-
sonsus seems to be that he will not be
renominated.
Frien6s OF wood had indicated that
they intended to put up fight for him
la event of an effort to drop him from
the ticket. II Is possible that assurance
Of the Court of Claims place might be
sufficient to create harmony in so far
as Wood is concerned.
AS for the others-notably Attorney
General Newton. State Engineer Will
ings and Secretary Of State Lyons
there appears prospect OF remonstrance
on the part OF their respective county
delegations.
1t is a foregone conclusion. however.
that Gov. Miller will dominate the con-
vention, and II it turns out to be his
judgment that changes are advisable for
a stronger ticket and o better second
administration. II is unlikely that the
convention will go against that decision.

 Kirk. in addition to be chosen on the all-American team this year, was selected as an end on the mythical all-conference and all-western elevens. He was regarded as one of the best flankers in the country dur ing recent years, being especially adept in receiving forward passes.
 Kirk's first college football was played with Notre Dame in 1919. In that year critics selected him for the all western team. He would have been graduated from the literary de- partment of the university next spring. He was 22 years old.

IRISH YACHTMAN TO PIT HIS SKILL
 AGAINST AMERICA
By AssonIated Pra.n

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-The Duke of Leinster, famous Irish sports man. today announced that an an- nual international yachting contest to be run across the Atlantic ocean In small ketcnes or schooners for a cup similar to the famous America's cup, probably will be inaugurated in the near future.
 Plans for the race were mapped tentatively. the duke said. at lunch- con at the Harvard club several days ago. when prominent American yachtmen. including Capt. William Washburn Nutting, who Is to race the duke of England this summer, offered to contribute to create cup English yachtmen.
 The rules for the contest are ex- pected to be completed before the dukes departure for England next month. He said that it was his idea to make his race with Captain Nut ting this year the first Of series of annual contests.
 "We probably will start the race this year in July" the duke declared He explained that it had been agreed that Captain Nutting and he would have built in an American yard two Identical boats, about 54 feet over all.
 The American boat, he said, will be rigged as a schooner and the English one as a ketch. An English motor will be pitted against an American motor. Both boats will carry only a small quantity of gasoline to protect the yachtmen against the possibility of being becalmed.
 The Duke said that each skipper would have ono man to help, him.

| SEASON TICKETS FOR BASKETBALL ON SALE AT B. A. (.

Birmingham Athletic club basket lball-committee members have decided to run things on a different basis this season than in the past. A plan has been adopted, whereby season tickets can be secured. which will
 admit their holders to all games this season, at an average cost far below
 that of individual admissions at each
 game
 Bill Leighton. chairman of the bas- ketball committee at the Birmingham
 Athletic club, stated yesterday that
 three classes of season tickets are now on sale as follows: For men at
 s5.50 each. for women at s2.25 each and for children at SIPS each. These tickets, which are on sale
 now, are transferable, and will ad- init anyone to the games. Leighton
 states that if additional games for
 the present season are scheduled. the tickets already sold will entitle their holders to admission to the extra games as we'll as those already on the list.
 Birmingham Athletic club basket
 ball tickets are on sale at the fol- lowing places: Loveman's sporting goods department. Chenoweth' s sporting goods store, Birmingham Arms, Wimberly & Thomas and sec- retary's office at the Birmingham Athletic club.
 A very attractive schedule has been arranged for the Blues this sea- son. only high class teams coming here to play the club quintet. Leigh ton expects an unusually large sale
 of season tickets, as the unusually good team at the club insures addi- tional interest, he states.
