FlCTI0sl WRITERS TO BLAME
Girl With Experience Is Disillusioned Concerning Qualities of the
 "Strong, Silent Man."

"Deliver me-" said the girl with ex- perence, from any more of these strong, silent men. They make very good fiction heroes, but personally prefer d man whose chief claim to strength does not lie in his breaking all records for silence. 1 like man who knows the value of pause or moment in which no one says any thing. but in which unutterable things are felt.
 "A man who shatters a time like that, or doesn't even know when 1t comes along, is, as We say, 1mpoSSi- ble.' If there's anything worse than a female chatterboY, it's a male chat terbox, but that's no reason why man can't answer Yes when you say, Isn't it Il lovely >dayY without thinking that he is violating secret.
 "Writers are to blame, 1 believe, for building up the fictionally perfect. but realistically terrible, type of man, whose stock in trade is an enigmatlcal smile. Consequently, every man who is shy. bashful or stupid feels that he has an excellent alibi. A girl who is not versed in the ways of men. but knows her story books backward and forward, is led to believe that the man who listens alike to her prattling, her small talk and her profoundest re- marks with mere quirk to the left side of his mouth, is a fiction hero come to life. After season or two, de pending on her perspicacity, she knows, alas, that he is generally just very dull man. Of course, if he is dull, it's much better that he should be dumb as well. The only pity is that he appears, at first, to be what he decidedly IS not"

AGCELERATES
FIGHT GAME

ATLANTA, Dec. S.-Boxing, as
a profession, received a tremendous
boost in the South recently when
Atlanta, long Southern center for
boxers, created a boxing commits
sion. The ordinance creating the
commission provides that it be
composed of five men, to be ap-
pointed by the mayor, and subject
to removal at his pleasure. The
commission win collect five per
cent of the receipts at all matches
to be put in general fund for
its own maintenance.
The commission will issue licenses
to boxers, managers, seconds, and
will determine under what condi-
lions, as to weight, number of
rounds, and other details, a match
may be held.
1t was generally thought here
that such a commission will place
boxing on a much higher plane
in this section, eliminating boxing
sharks and promoters who hereto
fore have victimized Atlanta fans,
thereby decreasing their interest in
the profession to the extent that
a $1,000 house is considered top"
here.

1t is our information that on this
point the judge has. not the chance
Of poor relation.
He may persuade the magnates,
both minor and major, that a new
draft agreement is not only just.u-
able, but expedient, he may prevail
upon deaf ears to hear a plea for a
more equitable distribution of world
series expenses, he may jam through
any and all of whatever remaining
reforms he may have in mind. But
on the question of umpire control,
Messrs. Johnson and Heydler will be
90 much granite.
This is one of their few excuses
Tor official existence, and, as such,
IS most valued relic OF an AZ
fluent past. One might just as
reasonably ask them for their
front teeth.
A further consideration is that a
fight for recognition on this point
might lead to greater independence
for Johnson and Heydler in other
details. The business whereby the
Judge proceeded with his world series
arrangements. while the two presi-
dents cooled Their heels elsewhere
still rankles.
The issue, If any. is to be settled
with dignified moderation, it is said.
Not many weeks ago there was whis-
pering of another internal war, with
Johnson and Lands aligned on OPP
posite sides Of the fence, but Of late
little has been heard of the alleged
instruction, and it is presumed that
at died a natural death.
Baseball men in general, how
ever, are as one in opposing any
move that would invest Lands
with more power than he already
Wields. They think he has too
much already, and are disposed to
intimate as much but a gentle
mans agreement" signed in good
faitha by all concerned, has them
stopped.
The agreement binds them to &C.
cept the rulings of the commissioner
without comment, adverse or other
wise. But it docs not bind them to
accept all of his ideas and reforms
with blind faith, and on the matter
OF regulating and appointing the AM
