THE B. v. d.
BULLDOZER-

The New York Tribune remarks
that "some day one of the Senators
Tom Watson threatens to thrash
will get afraid of him and hurt
him." Watson has made a spec.
tacle of himself SO many times
since he broke into the Senate or
the indignation wave against the
league of nations that the Senate
has become somewhat Injured t.
his vulgar exhibitions. He is q
slight man physically, and not in
the best of health, and his oft-re.
peated threat to smash the face
of Senators who differ with him
probably could not have been made
good in a single instance if the
object of his defy should have
taken him up. Watson's safety
lies in the self-control of his col.
leagues, and well he knows it
Should this self-control be lost

must be preserved.

OUTLOOK
ENCOURAGING

Optimistic reports of agricultural
and financial conditions throughout
the west and south have been made
by Eugene Myer, director Of the War
Finance Corporation. Returning
from a six weeks tour he reports
finding more hopeful condition al
over the west and future outlook
exceptionally bright. The crop out.
look, he says, is the best in years,
and a hopeful feeling is growing
fast among all classes of farmers
and business men.
Mines, he says, are reopening in
Utah, Montana and Arizona, and
some railroad construction has
started up in the southwest for the
first time in five years. The buying
power of the farmers, Mr.. Myres
declares, will be somewhat re-
stricted, as they are operating as
economically as possible this sea-
son and buying only necessities be-
fore returning to their normal scale

FEDERAL GRAND JURY SAYS
SCHOOL CHILDREN GET BOOZE

The grand jury considered 142
cases involving 1877 persons and
brought in 1874 true bills. Eight
case were ignored. For violation
of the prohibition act 112 ture bills
were brought in and fifteen charges
were for violation of the Harrison
narcotic act.
Discussing the enforcement Of the
prohibition law, the grand jury, in
it's report stated:
"Our investigation discloses that
in spite of great difficulties the fed
eral prohibition enforcement officers
and some county and city officials
have accomplished excellent results
in the enforcement Of the national
prohibition act. However, it is our
belief that in some localities the
county and city peace officers are
not properly cooperating with the
federal prohibition officers. !. mas
much as it has come to our atten-
ton that violations of the prohibi-
ton law re becoming more num-
erous among minors and even
among boys and girls attending
school, it is believed the several
counts in the state should give this
subject serious thought.
1--WE find that bootleggers make
immense profits and that they do
not mind paying small fines. We
believe that the deportation of
aliens who violate the prohibition
law would have a salutary effect"

THE SQUARE
DEAL

We are not counting praise, com
pliments, or even thanks. We arr
only asking a square deal. VIZ
merely want to give the public the
best paper our patronage will per
NIT and to encourage the right and
discourage the wrong in the com
munity. In fact, we feel that every
publisher has solemn duty to per.
form in printing newspaper
Whether it is for the best interests
of all to print an article or to
omit it altogether must be decided
and the editors conscience (if he
has one) rather than his desires
must be the judge.
But what we started in to say
was that two men actually thanked
US recently for what we had said in
these columns. As we said before
we were not counting any thanks
and did not expect it, but it made
US feel little better, just the same,
We know that people are apprecia-
tive, but there are mighty few who
express it, at least in words. Your
friends befriend you in y thou
sand ways and you perhaps never
let them know you notice it. But
when that friend needs defense
you're right there to do everything
in your power to help him. That's
the modern way of life.

BASEBALL WRITERS PROTEST
 AGAINST cORB'S HI7

New York, Dec 6-The New York chapter of the Baseball Writers as- sociation announced today it planned to file formal protest against the Am erican leagues action in credittng Ty Cobb with a disputed hit, thus giving the Detroit manager an average of more than 400 for the third tlT1e ID his career. Formal action, 1t was said, would be taken by the association at it's annual meeting, Scheduled TOT Thursday of next week here.
 While not desiring to detract from Cobb's achievements, the writers ob- ject to alleged irregular procedure by which a hit was given him in the of ficial averages when the official SCOT CT at the game, played in New York, May 15, recorded the play as an CT TOT for Scott, Yankee shortstop, and not as a safe blow for Cobb. They charge that the hit was officially credited without proper investigation and that if any examination into the circumstances was made, neither the official scorer nor any of the writers who saw the game were questioned by league authorities.
 Reports that eleven out of twelve writers at the game voted to give Cobb a hit, instead of an error to Scott, and also that the official scorer reversed his decision in scoring the play as an error, were denied today by officials of the writers association.
 The dispute arose originally from the fact that Cobb, by some sources, was credited with a hit due to the fact that the official scorers ruling was not available at the time of the play The official averages give Cobb a bat ting mark of .401 while without the hit his mark would be 399.

FOOTBALL OFFICIALS TO
 ORGANIZE SOON


 One of the most important moves in the quest of the ideal condition in football will be made soon by what may be termed an influence from the outside. Some time this month offi- cials from all parts of the East will gather in New York and form an as- Sociation which will take in every man who has the approval of the central board. This organization will set out to make radical changes in notions of sporGsmanship which ex- ist at certain colleges. The. chief wea- pon will be the boycott.
 Colleges which are guilty of failing, to uphold the decisions of officials Colleges which expect referees and umpires to be "homers' and favor the home eleven-colleges which bar of ficials because of decisions against their teams-these will find that they cannot obtain the services of approv- ed men. This freeze out system is ex- pected to do away with certain evils which in recent seasons have grown so serious that B. K Hall, chairman of the rules committee was called on to make them the chief topics of his 1921 report to. the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
 Halls warning did some good this fall, but there still were quite few colleges which expected some of the officials to do their bidding regard less of rules and justice. It is a sad fact, but such institutions remain in this enlightened age. Officials have been warned that "poor" work would result in their not being asked back to officiate again by that college. One football coach did not like the | way in which an official worked and asked him to resign from the assign

A hundred yards from the toboggan chute there will be a ski jump for amateurs, which can be taken from several different elevations to suit the wishes of the person taking the jump. A short, ways further on, a thrilling slide for double rippers and bob sleds has been constructed down the noun tain road and around a right angle turn, banked up like the curve on a fast race track so that it can be mel gotiated at high speed without loss

LOCAL ATHLETIC CLUB TO PUT ON / BOXING BOUTS HERE NEXT WEEK

The National A. C. of Norwich has taken out a permit to conduct boxing exhibitions in this city and the first show to be put on by this club will be on Friday, Dec. 18th. Jackie Will son is at the head of the club and will act as match maker and he has already signed up what is apparently the best card seen in this section of the state in many years.
 Jackie will put on his shows at Olympic Hall and has already started on getting his ring into condition for the opening night. All bouts are to be under the direction of the State Boxing commission and the local com mission which was recently appointed by Mayor Waters. Norwich has been without boxing for over year and it will be welcomed by all lovers of the game in this section.
 The card for the opening night is still incomplete but the main bout has been slated and should be a big draw ing card. In this bout Johnny Darcy of New York is to meet Johnny Clin- ton of Boston over the F round route. Both of these boys have the goods and it is the first time that real class has exhibited in this city.
 For the semi Martin Flaher- IyJ d lOCdl VIII IIICcI d OOS of his class. Flaherty's opponent has not yet been picked but the public can rest assured that it will be some one that will give F'laherty a good go
 The preliminary will give local boy, Frank Busch, a chance to show his friends what he can do. Busch has been in New York during the past few months and has been in the stable with Pancho Villa. Busch is q heavy boy and a suitable opponent will be picked for him to try out on.
 This card should get the local clut off to a good start and revive the boxing game in Norwich. In years past boxing has been conducted along haphazard lines and local people would not give the game any patronage SC that it soon died out. Jackie Wilson is one of the snappiest little boxing promoters this side of the Hudson ant when Jackie says it's going to be { real show it surely will be and thel some.

ment for later contest. The official declined. When the association is formed this coach will find that 2 repetition of that bad break will bring the boycott on his team and mark out his college as a sporting swamp.
 The officials do not like to discuss their grievance for publication. If they would they could tell some interesting stories. They are tired of pickering with unreasonable college authorities and are determined to do their work without review by any of the teams involved and threats of reprisals. These reprisals of course would be finan- cial ones. The referees, umpires, line men and field judges feel that their good intentions and honesty should not be questioned by anybody. There fore the association and the boycott There is no intention on the part of the officials to cover up incompetent men. In fact the Central Board this winter will go over the list of approv- ed officials with a fine comb and will eliminate quite a few who have shown | that they do not come up to the mark. The general efficiency of the list will | be increased.

NEW HAVEN WINS NTERCTTY
 VOLLEYBALL IN EASY STYLE

The New Haven Y. M. c. A. vol leyball team, state champions of last year, easily won the volleyball in tercity meeting between New London, New Haven and Norwich at the local gym on Wednesday evening. The New Haven team took three straight games from the New London team and then took three straight from the Norwich team giving them first place. The real tNssle of the evening was between the Norwich and New London teams and went four games to decide the winner, New London taking three out of five games.
 The first match of the evening was between Norwich and New London. The first game resulted in New, Lon don victory Is to Il and was hotly contested. The second game went to Norwich by a score of 15 to l2. The third game was another New London victory, the Whalers winning by 8 score of Is to g. The fourth game was the feature game of the evening both teams fighting on an even basis un- til the final point. The score of the last game was IS to 14 in favor or New London.
 The New Haven team took the floor against the New London team and so far outclassed the Whalers that the match was over in a short time, the Elm City team capturing three straight games by the scores of 15 to Il, 15 to and 15 to 8. The playing of the New Haven boys was a pleasure to watch and their team work was be- wildering to their opponents.
 After New Haven had polished off tho Whalers the Norwich boys were the next victims. The Norwich team proved to be even more helpless be- fore the onslaught of New Haven than did New London. In the first game Norwich managed to score one point while the New Haveners piled up, their necessary Is to win the game. In the second game Norwich showed some little improvement and scored points. They also scored i points in the final game. Considering that the Norwich boys having been playing voAeyball less than "a month their showing against the state champions does not reflect any discredit on the local boys. With more practice the Norwich team should be able to put up good game against the New Haveners when they meet again,
 The Norwich team was Frisbie Gleason, Osten, Davis, Wyman and Dliven.

With football tucked away in the closet for another year and the fight game lay ing dormant for the want of new blood, sport fans are due to be fed up on ''barnyard golf' the good old game of honse- shoe pitching which has Am erica in it's grip as an interesting fad for young and old.
