LOCOMOTIVES BUILT TO LAST
Some of Those in Use on European
Railways Have Records That Are
Really Remarkable.

The record for long life amongst
railway locomotives is probably held
by some Of those running in Spain,
where engines built in 1849 may
still be seen at work.
In Britain locomotive has a life
of from 16 to IS years. There are
many older than this still running,
but usually they have been so much
rebuilt that their original designers
would not know them. During its
lifetime the average engine covers
between a million and million and
half miles.
The record for British passenger
engines was held by the North Brit
ish railways No. 224, which was
built in 1871 and ran until 1919.
In 1879 it was hauling the train
which. on December %, crashed
from the broken Tay bridge into
the waters below
For some months it lay complete
ly submerged. Then it was hauled
out. and found to have suffered lit
tie damage in spite Of its fall. After
a short visit to the works it was soon
running again as well as ever. No.
1924 was rebuilt in 1886, and again
in 19O7.-London Tit-Bits.

REPLIES TO CRITICISM

ReiteratinR charges OF control and
domination of the oil industry by the
Standard Oil companies made in the

published today, declared Interviews

to divert public attention from the

The principal point Of attack on
the report by the oil officials. Senator
La Toilette said. seems to be the
possibility Of dollar gasoline" The re-
port. he said. made no prediction of
such a. price level, but did point out
specifically the way to prevent such

The suggestion of the officials that
some substitute. such as alcohol.
would be found before gasoline prices
could possibly go to a dollar gallon.

that before gasoline reaches a dollar

1.-The report OF the committee does

out specifically the way to prevent
any such catastrophe. but the way to

prevent 1t is not to wait until gaso-
line will cost more than alcohol.
What the official records and the tes-
timony established and the report of
the committee clearly states in this
connection Is that from January. 1920,
TO the end of 1929, with the surplus
of gasoline and crude oil constantly
increasing, with production outrun-
ming consumption, and with many ex-
listing wells not being permitted to

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-United

weight championship by Harry
Greb. expert opinion was moro or
less ~vindicated, as the only COM
ment made about Wilson as a cham.
pion was that he would lose the
first time he met a good opponent.
During the reign of Mike O'Dowd
and Wilson the middleweight class
fell into low estate and became al
most poverty-stricken in class. II

Of Harry Greb.
Greb. unfortunately. inherits a
title that Dempsey, Fitzsimmons,
Ketchel and others made synomon-
Gus with sock, and he cannot live
up to it any better than Wilson
did.
The new champion is a freak. He
cannot hit and he cannot box. De.
spite this he has become one of the
most i~nvincible fighters in the ring.
because he is possessed of remark
able endurance and a crazy style of
fighting that no one has been able
to solve.
He is also about the foulest fight
er in the business. He depends
more or less on trespassing to the
ragged edge Of the rules IL not in
open transgression. Because he has
been allowed to get away with it
he makes capital of holding and
hitting. gouging. heeling. elbowing
and butting.
After winning the championship.
Greb announced that he intended to
fight in the future in his own
class and that he would not mingle
with light heavyweights and heavy

match in straight sets at Ga. 6-1, and
Ga and became the champion for
the fourth straight time.
1t took the great Tilden only So

Tilden not only became the

CAN'T HIT OR
BOX, SAYS FARRELL,
BUT is INVINCIBLE

very little fighting. as It was obvious
in the Wilson fight that he is not
good at 100 pounds. He has not
lived so that he a take off weight
and retain his form. or what form
he has.
One very good source Of arru-
ment with old timers Ia to surRest
that the modern brand OF champion
Is as good as the champion of the
past decade.
Violent words were hurled back
and forth recently when Jimmy
Johnston. promoter at the Yankee
stadium. caused the old timers 10
feel deeply insulted when he ex.
pressed the opinion that Benny
Leonard and Johnny Dundee were
the greatest of all champions ut
their weights.
Johnston had the Leonard.Dundaa
fight in the making at thu time and
ne might have had a mercenary
motive in mind when he said that
Leonard was better than Joe Cans
ever was and that Dundee had more
class than Terry McGovern.
These arguments can eve he
settled. Even some good Judges
: who saw Cans and McGovern IN
their prime and who have been
watching Leonard and Dundee are
divided in their opinion.
No arguments. however, will he
advanced by this generation that
Harry Greb is a champion worthy
TO follow in the footsteps of the old
middleweight champions. I'm TO re.
cent years the middleweight division
always produced great Fighters
tut now the middleweights are mar,
ers.
Jack Dempsey is held up as the
best OF all the present champions
and one more in keeping with the
prestige of the past. but old timer.
cannot be convinced that he is n,
good as John L." was In his day
Dempsey's record does no compar,
with some OF his predecessors, a.
he failed to deliver the only tim.
ne met "A first class opponent. Cos
sip that he did not want to stop
Tommy Gibbons and that he had
business for holding him uu
through fifteen rounds will neither
be entered on the record books nor
passed on to posterity.
Dempsey has very if,tle chance
to get himself on the books even AZ
the best fighter of his day. Had he
fought Harry Wills two years ago
n stopped him in a short fight he
would have had an almost perfecr
claim to absolute superiority of his
class, but IL he does meet and knock
Wills out 1t will always be said that
he defeated the big negro when he
was past his prime.
In comparing past and present.
day fighters It must be remembered
that times have changed. CONNER
cial motives now actuate all the
fighters. where once there was some
glory in the name OF a champion 10
inspire a fighter.
The main idea now IL 10 get the
money. Plenty of cash and a life OF
ease after they have finished in the
ring perhaps is more to be desired
than n lot of talk about their glori.
u deeds after they have passed
out. As long as Dempsey, Leonard
and the other big financiers of the
game do not have to work for a
living ana as long as they can live
like dukes. they do not care TO get
peoved when they are called ham
champions in comparison TO their
predecessors.
