Paris, Nov. 17.--Comparative tables showing the cost of living in the United States and France reveal that it takes considerably less money to live in America today than In this country. French government statis- ticians taking the cost Of living in July 1914, as 100, found that the index number for September was 149 for the United States as composed with 939 for Paris.

ROWING CHIEFS
MAY SLING
WORDS
intercollegiate Meeting Today
Anything but Love
Feast.
By TOM THORP.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The an
uual meeting of the stewards Of the
intercollegiate Rowing Association
today is likely TO develop into any
thing but love feast.
The most important question to
be settled is the distance of the
varsity race. When the call to arms
for the late war depleted the ranks
of collegians the distance was cut
down from four to three miles.
Few are of the opinion that four.
mile race is any more exhausting
than a three-mile affair. The fact
that the annual event has been
rowed over the greater distance more
often than over the shorter course Is
a good reason why it should be once
again changed back to four miles.
Such authorities as Jim Rice, Jim
Ten Eyck, Joe Wright, and Con-
stance 8. Titus are of the opinion
that it takes as much out Of q man
to row three miles as fast as present
crews do as 1t would be to have the
race staged over a Your-Tnile distance.
When the race was decided over
the four-mile distance fewer men
collapsed at the end of a race than
has been the case in the past few
years when the test has been Ilade
over the three-mile distance. Jim
Rice is firm believer in the four
mile race. Because Of this it is likely
that the Blue and White representa-
tives will stick out to the last for
the four-mile distance.
Cornell is not committed to any
special length of race.
Whichever way Cornell votes will
decide the issue.
Poughkeepsie is likely to receive
the regatta.
Cornell, Pennsylvania, Columbia.
and Syracuse have thousands Of dol
lars invested in up-to-date training
quarters on this famous course. II
the race was changed to Lake
Geneva these investments would be
lost.

Already Issues Challenge to

White, and leonard

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-So conf,
dent is Pal Moran Of otitpointins
Lew Tender over the fifteen round
trail at the Garden tonight, that
he has issued a challenge to Char.
ley White leading up to a match
with Benny Leonard next summer.
It is a matter Of record that Moran
held his own with the champ on
two contests. Pal is in great shape
for the Tender bout, in far better
condition than he has been for any
assignment in his career. Yester-
day, after q stiff workout, he
Jumped on the scales and tipped
the beam at 1876 pounds. The
weight calls for 1877 pounds at Z
o'clock.
"I don't want to make 1t appear
I'm using Leonard's name for pub
licity purposes challenging the
champ" began Moran yesterday,
'but am sincere in wanting to
get White into the ring with me.
IF there is one scrapper ! can beat
it Is White. Tender? Beat him
sure.
"The old Philly boy hasn't gone
fifteen rounds in q long, long time
he's been out of the roped arena
for months, so the dope points to
me as the winner. I'll keep pegging
lefts into his mush and every time
he Strengthens himself out to de.
liver the supposed dynamic left I'll
cross him with the right.
Tender is a great fighter and
all that" concluded Moran, "but
he doesn't fit in with a clever guy
who knows every angle of the game

them. I'm step right into him and
make him take a lacing to boot.

to offer, because I'm in superb con.

don't say / will knock Lew out, but
ri give him q boxing lesson. I've
told my friends to grab the short
end and sit in and watch me box
rings around my opponent. I'll
win and win under wraps"
From all accounts, Tender Is in
splendid shape, He considers MO

in from Philly In time to weigh in
before the boxing solons. He has

BROUGHT
MANY GOOD
PLAYERS
EVers, Moran, Stahl, and
Jimmy Collins Are His
Protegees.

Though his name Is seldom dis
cussed these days where baseball
men gather, nevertheless Frank
Selee, first in Boston and then in
Chicago, was one of the best de-
velopers of players ever connected
with the national game. Here are
some of the players he developed:
Fred Tenney, the man who revo'
lutionized first base playing. He
made it plain that an active man
was as valuable at first as at
short or second.
Jimmy Collins, who never had
his equal as a third baseman.
Chick Stahl, an ideal outfielder.
Charlie Nichols, one of the best
right-handed pitchers that ever
lived.
Pat Donovan, who later became a
star right fielder.
Link Lowe, one of the best sec
ond sackers and one of two play
ers who hit four homers in one
game.
Herman Long, one of the might
lest shortstops in baseball history
Marty Bergen, a catcher who in
throwing and brainwork was prob
ably never excelled.
Johnny EVers, the Human
Crab" easily one of the bTainiest
infielders ever seen in the major
leagues.
Fat Moran, a catcher, who later
became the leading manager in the
National League, and who owes his
broad knowledge of baseball and his
knack of handling players to Selee
This Is not the complete list, but
it Is a representative one. This has
been a depression from the topic
of the fighting ball player, but
necessary to make 1t clear that
Selee knew one.

Gilbert's Prospects.

nILLY GILBERT has at last
located Denver. 1t is in the
Western League, and since
he has signed as manager, Gilbert
discovers that his team consists
Of one pitcher and one outfielder.
1t is up to Billy to collect the
others. Of course he is depend
ing on John McGraw to help him
out and will go to the San An
tonic training camp to hunt for
victims.
However, it is doubtful if Gil
bert gets any young Giants. The
Western League is one of the
"non-draft" circuits and it's presi.
dent is AL Tierney, who bitterly
opposes the proposal Of the big
leagues to release no players ia
minor league clubs unless said
players are subject to draft at the
end of season.
McGraw has no choice under
the rule. Denver cannot accept
any big league castoffs unless

LEHIGH DROPS COLGATE

have severed athletic relations, ac-

The action is the outcome of a
contest played last fall at Bing-

roughness resulted in severe in
turies to members Of the Colgate
varsity.
According to agreement, Colgate
was scheduled to play Lehigh on
November 3, 1928, but refused and
made arrangements to meet the

that date. Lehigh recently wrote

IN HE claim Of near major league

Pacific Coast. is ridiculous.
The Vernon club, now cut off the
calling list OF the Yankee Colonels
because of the Jake May bloomer,
has been a pennant contender for
two or three years.
The first baseman Of that team
is Ham Hyatt, discarded by East
ern clubs some time ago. Hyatt
played with the Yankees during
1918, a war year, when players
were scarce. He was slow and
couldn't hit major league pitching.
Rollie Zeider, another former
Yankee, covered second base for
Vernon last season. Zeider passed
out Of the big leagues so long ago
that he is almost forgotten. He
was with the Yankees during the
reign of Frank Chance, coming
from the White Sox with Babe
Borton in exchange for Hal Chase.
Borton never was big Lacquer, but
ne still gets by on the Pacific coast.
Truck Hanna is the star catcher
for Vernon. That fact needs no
comment. Other former Yankees
on that club are Ray French, short
stop, and Nelson Hawkes., out
fielder. French was released after
Higgins looked him over in Shreve-
port in 1920. Hawkes. went West
in the deal for Johnny Mitchell.

League produces "finds," who are
