Greb of Pittsburgh, at Madison Square Garden. Tunney's body attack earned him the judges verdict despite a Hhirlwind rally by Greb in the last roand.

The simn1e life did ii.

The simple life did it.
 If you asked Babe Ruth how he staged the greatest comeback in the history of sport, that would be his reply
 When the season of 1922 was brought to a close with the absolute rout of the New York Yankees Babe Ruth went into winter quarters a broken idol.
 During the season his play had fall- en below expectations and in the series he was a positive bust"
 The Babe is through.
 That was the opinion freely eN- pressed by his fellow players and sporting experts.
 Near the close of the 1922 season the Babe bought a farm at Sudbury, Mass. At that time he must have realized that he had been a failure. In all probability he was then giving thought to his intended comeback.
 Strong For simple Life
 Me for the simple life" he told New York when he bade Broadway and its bright lights goodby.

Stage Fright of Russian
Nearly Prevents Passing,

"Yah." answered one Of the seventy
six candidates Tor final naturalization
in the hearing finished today in Su-
perior Court, Room /, before Judge
James M. Leathers. More than 100
applicants were examined by George
Mckay, Federal examiner.
Relatives of applicants, friends and
the necessary witnesses, who must at
tend each step of the process during
five years, crowded the courtroom.
Many of them had never seen a court
room before.
One man was denied citizenship be-
cause it developed that one Of his wit
nesses had only known him four years
and eleven months. Flaws in the
war record of several others blasted
their aspirations.
Naturalization day doesn't mean
much to many residents Of Indian
apolis. Arrival Of Examiner Mckay
every three months creates quite a
stir on w. Washington and s. Merid-
ian Sts., however.
Who can tell what technicality may
pop up at the last minute and spoil
everything? Who was George Wash
ington and what good does the city
council do are awfully hard things
to remember, especially with the judge
looking at one.

Baldwin, chancellor Of the exchequer,
said upon his arrival here today from

between England and America is the
fact that in America the politicians
are handling the final settlement OF
the debt question, whereas politicians
were not concerned with the debts
contraction.
Baldwin, who headed the British
debt mission in Washington, asserted
Secretary Mellon could have arranged
terms with Great Britain for the set

getting into the hands Of Congress.
Americans are still country folk,

knowledge of international trade.
Whether the British debt is funded
now or in the future, it can only be
funded on terms which can be got
