RAILWAY EXECUTIVES
CONSIDER EXTENSIVE
COOPERATIVE PLAN
Several Hundred Roads
May Unite to Handle
Freight.

New York, April 4.--Executives of
several hundred railroads, here to
tackle the emergency created by an I'M
precedsnted burden of spring traffic
and probable boom year, today con-
sidered the possibilities of program
of extensive cooperation prepared
yesterday by directors of the Ameri-
can Railway Association.
The program is not to be made pub
lie until all members of the association
had opportunity TO vote on il tomor-
row. Ii was understood to include
several of the more drastic provisions
of the program voluntarily undertaken
by the roads in 1920. when they were
threatened with paralysis under a
record breaking burden of freight.
One of the chief recommendations
it was believed. will be cooperation
through freer interchange of cars. and.
possibly, locomotives and other equip
ment
\ zone big system" arrangement
virtually will be the result. with many
va INV bsll l'Nfltu NuNh utlflt-
fore have marked joining lines. The
desired result, the increase of capacity
and efficiency Of the nations railroads
without corresponding increase in
new equipment. is thus to be attained.
The shipper will be asked to join the
cooperative effort by controlling his
shipments. by loading carefully to con-
serve space. by eliminating unneces-
sary part car shipments. by loading
ears to capacity whenever possible and
by avoiding dcmurrage.
The efficiency Of railroad shop
workers since the strike Of last fall
"has increased amazingly" rs evil
denced by reports of unprecedented
numbers of cars and locomotives re-
paired in the last three months. rail
chiefs asserted today.
Part of their program will be the
retention Of the good will of the shop
forces and their labor organizations.

ATTHE MANAGER OF
A PUG SHOULD GET UP
FOR ARGUMENT AGAIN
Author of New York Box
ing Bill Against NAL
doon's 0ne-third Rule.
By FAlRPLAY.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light
New York, April 3.-The case OF
the manager against the fighter is
being argued today wherever fighters
and fight fans assemble along the
Great White Way in numbers suffi-
cient to make argument interesting.
II all came up through the state
mcnt of James Walker. II New York
state senator. whose name is attached
to the law under which boxing is now
being conducted in this state. that
he was going TO put check rein
upon William Muldoon's executive
powers. The senator cited several
instances wherein the grand duke of
swat had. in the legislators opinion,
exceeded his authority.
The point that has caused all the
talk relates to Senator Walkers OBJ
lection to the Muldoon rule that a
manager should not take more than
one-third of the earnings of a boxer.
in the old days more fighters than
one received but little more than
paper collars and carfare home after
gruelling battles.
Muldoon's idea in putting this one
third rule into effect was to see that
the boy who really did the fighting
got the larger share OF the receipts.
There will be some who feel that one
third of any given sum is pretty good
pay indeed for the talking end of a
pugiliStic partnership. The other side
Of it is. however, that a great ma
jorty of fighters are hopelessly in
competent TO attend TO the business
end of their profession and that with
out manager they would fare poor
ly. Even SO clever fighter as Benny
Leonard would be the last to deny
that his progress TO the throne was
due in goodly measure to the expert
handling of his" affairs by Billy Glib
son, just as Jack Dempsey would be
the worst possible migrate were he to
attempt TO discount the services of
Jack Kearns. They get more than
one-third and earn it.
The Muldoon rule was not aimed
at the top-liners. Not all fighters
are champions and not all earn big
money.
Take the random case of Jack
Bernstein, junior lightweight. One
year ago Jack found it mighty hard
TO land a match at 5000 or $500.
Louis Hirsch. Yonkers druggist and
sportsman. took hold IF Jack and in
twelve months Jack has piled up
around $4,000. Through Hirsch's
management Jack is a headlner at
traction where he was unknown
year ago.
Muldoon is intolerant and irascible.
But he is honest. And honesty is SO
much the most important considera-
ton in the conduct of boxing these
days that all faults will be forgiven
him by those who prefer clean sport.
Pity it is that man who has so
many good qualities as Muldoon can
not employ a balanced and unbiased
judgment with consistency.

AN INDIAN AMONG EN-
Rodriguez a Yaqui Fresh
From the Meyican-Kill-
ing Tribes.
By JOHN Il. FOSTER.

CoPyright. by The San Antonio Light.
Many folks have saved their money
and gone TO New York from Orlando,
Fla, TO see a world series. That is
one reason why the Cincinnatis
were such strangers to them at
Orlando. The Reds were playing
there on a field which is much like
the softer. side of a fire clay brick.
Their feet will therefore be hardened
to adversely. Pat Moran with his
optimism written all over his Tip
perary enthusiasm sees no vision Of
adversely in the future. He is
phlegmatic in his driving forcefulness,
however, much he may look for n
friendly hand shake in the season
when things break against him. He
has team which makes you think
of solids and no special reference
is made to solid ivory, either. even
il that has become the stock joke of
the baseball humorists.
1t is a team which is built square
TO the ground. There are no grey
hounds on it. There are mastiffs and
Great Danes and Newfoundland or
two. The very substantiability of the
team may be its biggest asset. That
is for the future to tell. 1t is pos
sible that a team which is so con-
servatively structured physically may
have no nerves. Lack of nerves-not
nerve-may keep the Reds plodding
along with the pertinacity of white
mule following wisp Of hay and
when the season approaches the
climax and the games must he har-
vested home which tell the story of
bunting or no bunting, the Cincin-
natis. with their stolid front to the
enemy, may outlast their rivals.
Daring Not There.
They are not going 10 win any
championship by an exhibition of dash
and daring. 1t isn't there. If they
can WELD their bats sufficiently hard
When opportunities arise look out for
them.
erf' they don't win they will have
10 be a much built-over team for
1924.
The cards on the Reds are being
dealt for this season only. 1t looks
as il the owners of the team are

Good Tennis Service Essential
PLAYER Blessed Can Hope Attain Heights
BY VINCENT RICHARDS

The service in the lawn tennis game
is a qualification that either makes or
breaks a player. 1t is vital factor
at all times and in all matches. \
player destitute of good service can
never hope TO attain lofty heights in
the net game.
Playing against a man for the first
time, ] invariably try out every kind
of a service l possess during the first
few games until l determine the one
that is most effective against this par
ticular opponent. On reaching a con-
clusion 1 continually lombard him
with the same variety of a service.
Ny best service is combination
of the well-known American twist
service and flat straight stroke, de-
livered on the principle of William
Tilden's cannon-ball service. To make
this delivery effective. the ball shoul,!
be thrown at least two feet high and
must be hit with a slanting overhead
stroke. cutting the ball on either side,
which causes it to take a peculiar
loop after il comes in contact with the
court.
| am continually asked whether ~
not | hit my second ball with the
same speed that l do the first. No.
not usually. unless l am enjoying a
lead that | know is perfectly safe.
The degree of difference between ,nc
two is very slight, however. and can
not be detected by an audience.
To use a fast ball against Little
Bill" Johnston is suicide Tildea
and I have agreed on this many times.
The California ace is a demon on a
speedy serve and on an average OF
seven out of ten he will drive it back
at you like a bullet.

rather than calling for a new. The
cards may be little shOpworn and
dog-eared and the corners may be
broken off some of them but they
have been lucky cards. because Gin
cinnati did make a little money last
season. and so the principals in the
game will cling to them.
The men are heavy and of course
the training which they need is TO
reduce their surplus fat for some
thing solid. Even when the butter
is fried out the team will be heavy.
1t has weight slapped on close to the
bones.

They can get over the ground but
they run low to it and when n base

he is surprised to see how close he

1t is the oldest team in baseball
so far as age is concerned and with
out a blush for it. The hesitancy

TO do with the Reds They are on
record as 10 birth certificate and they
own IN to the fact that they were
on teams which were explained by
Shem and .Iapheth or someone who
knew something about baseball ahead
of Frank Frisch's time.
Among their number is Iaqui
Indian. one Rodriguez. who either
personally assisted in wiping out a
Mexican legion or his forefathcrs did.
1t is said to be n tradition Of laqui
Indians that they have killed more
Mexicans than any other tr.je in
the world.
More Money In Baseball.
In any event. Rodriguez has found
that he can make mere money play
ing baseball than killing MeXicars.
which is still another triumph for
our great national game. Not only
does it lure the college student to
amass n competence but it induces
YaQui Indian to give up the pleas
ant hunt of the Mexican head for
that of the American dollar. 1t is
remarkable how civilization is modi
flying the tastes and pleasure of the
original wild men.
The Reds also have Cuban
Senior Luquc-who is some Indian
himself. Let it be hoped that the
time will not come on the Cincinnati
team when Senor Luque and Senior
Rodriguez get on the war path as one.
II they combine we shall see the
other Reds being chased down Eighth
Avenue from the Polo Grounds going
six feet to the pace and If they
antagonize one another-well. If
Luque got ten feet start they might
run ten miles that way until both
fell over from exhaustion.
However, the Reds are quite happy.
Almost all other major league teams
at some time have had an Indian.
Now they have one. Theirs has added
attraction in that he is an Indian
like no other Indian north of the
Mexican border unless another got
away with him.

USE TEXAS PORT
May Deport Aliens Through Calves.
ton Instead Of New York.

Aliens for deportation from Texas
to European countries may be sent
through the port Of Galveston instead
Of from New York as in the past, ac-
cording to the immigration service
headquarters in San Antonio. The
department of labor at Washington
is engaged in determining which will
be the most economical. Although the
water distance from Galveston to
Europe is greater than that from
New York to Europe. it is believed
that the land transportation saved
VIII more than offset the increased
distance by water.
In the meantime, arrangements are
being made for the deportation of
eight aliens through the port of Gal
weston, the immigration service in this
district having received permission
from the secretary of labor to send
the aliens. through that port. The
deportation party will probably sail
during the latter part of this month
on the steamer, "Conde Wifredo."
p There are six SpaniardS. one Ger
man and one Esthonian in the de-
portation party. 1t is not known
whether arrangements can be made
for the German and the Esthonian to
accompany the party. These two
may be sent on other vessels.
