BUTLER ANSWERS
LA Toilette CLAIMS
Issues Statement Denying Points
in Senator's Labor Day Address.
Sees Appeal to Prejudice.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. September 1s.-William
NJ Butler, chairman of the Republican
national committee, last night issued
a statement constituting an itimized
attack on the address with which
Robert NJ. La Toilette opened his
campaign for the presidency Labor
day.
There is not single soup line in
the country" said Mr.. Butler after
quoting Senator La Toilette by say
ing fthe consumption per capita of
such a staple food as bread is very
much less than it was few years
ago. 1t means that there are many
people in the United States today who
are hungry for bread" Mr.. Butler
added:
Bread consumption has been de-
creasing, but Mr.. La Toilette distorts
the fundamental reason therefore
the increasing prosperity and higher
standard of living of the people.
Every population decreases it's bread
conSumptira by an increase in pro-
portionate consumption of meat
fruits, Suga. and other more varied
foods"
Hits Speech MS Whole.
Mr.. Butler said of the La Toilette
speech as whole:
His speech is an appeal to class
prejudice. The facts which he men
tions are capable of analysis and are
an indication of the entire falsity of
the premise on which he basis his
denunciation
The way to increase the bread con-
sumption of the United States is to i'm
poverish the population, and that is
exactly what would happen if these
policies were carried out
THE following table shows the in
crease in consumption Of foodstuffs per
capita in the United States in impor-
tant lines compared with wheat:

Exactly what do we mean by the
system" asks Senator La Toilette. He
says we mean the coal MONOPOLY
There are 5000 operators busy at the
present time cutting each others throats
in competition, and fully one-half of
them are now selliRg coal for less than

Dundee Outpointed
BY Old Rival
Kansas in 10 Rounds

Buffalo, N. Y, April 22-Johnny
Dundee lost a decision to an ancient
rival last night when Rocky Kansas
outpointed him in ten rounds Of
heavy smuggling in which the double
champion was twice sprawled on the
canvas and several times in serious
trouble.
Dundee, worlds featherweight and
junior lightweight champion entered
the ring at 122 pounds. His titles
were not at stake. Kansas weighed
in at 1874 1-2. Rocky pushed the
fighting at the start and his heavy
right glove raised a purple welt
across Dundee's ribs where he beat a
persistent tattoo in the clinches. Des
pite mis- weight. Kansas showed speed
that repeatedly got his left jab
through to Dundee's jaw. The
champion exposed himself to a
sledge- hammer right to the body and
jaw. Only twice did Dundee attempt
his favorite trick of bouncing off the
ropes. Both times he ran into a solid
right to the stomach while yet in
mid-air. Rocky. apparently profit
ing from previous experiences, allow
ed Dundee no room in front of the
ropes to get his catapult under way.

States Lawn Tennis Association,
made public last Sunday, is thought
to have influenced the registration
from the Davis cup and Olympic
teams of William r. Tilden, End, to-
day declined comment on the action
of the National tennis champion.
Tildens withdrawal, based upon
upon his desire Ito relieve the COM

publication of the report signed by
Mr.. Ward. which the champion as
serted, pointed to him as an evil
influence" because of his status as a
player-writer. .n,
The executive committee had IN

March Is that if the facts contained
the same in 1925 when the player

feet, the committee would probably
decide that they constituted a viola
ion of the amateur rule. The cham
pion issued a statement indicating
his continued cooperation.
The publica ton of the report last
Sunday was followed by a shift in

BATES SH0RTSTOp.
C0GAN, SIGNS WITH
BAR HARb0R TEAM

Lewiston. Apr. 22--Joey Cogan
fixed his name to a Bar Harbor con-
tract for the coming season after
a long confab with Coach Carl Wig
gin of Bates, who is to handle that
team this summer. Cogan was q
much sought bail player by summer
clubs and he turned down an allur-
ing offer from the Lewiston and Au-
burn club besides passing up a
chance to play league ball after he
received his sheep skin in June.
The Bates short stop is one Of the
bright stars that have come into
Maine baseball in years and he has
hung up a wonderful record during
his college and semi-pro career.
After his first year in college he
played for the Woburn town team,
which at that time represented one
of the fastest combinations in Bos-
ton and vicinity. The following year
he was signed by Art Reynolds, now
of Toronto, to play with the East
Millinocket club and last year he
was again lured 10 the Great
Woods
While at East Millinocket. Cogan
began to shine as q semi-pro. He
was considered one of the cleverest
lead off men and infielders in the
ranks. Last year he continued to
shine and while at East Millinocket
was given a handsome offer to turn
professional and play minor ieague
ball. Cogan refused to consider such
"a policy but when the proposition
was presented this spring he gave
the matter much thought as he will
be free agent when he graduates
in June.

Boston, April 22-Georges Car
pcntier may be matched by Tom
Goodwin of the Suffolk 4. A. to box
in Boston this summer. The Suffolk
A.. A. believes that Carpenter would
be a great attraction, If pitted
against a formidable opponent. Jack
Curley, his American representative
has in mind bouts for Benton Haroor,
Micl., with Tom Gibbons, then his
clash with Gene Tunney at the Polo
Grounds, and a bout probably in
Boston.
Il am informed that Deschamps
and Curley are considering third APP
pearance for Carpenter, and l am
prepared to make him an offer of
$4,000 to fight an opponent to be
selected from Jack Sharkey, latest
heavyweight sensation; Eddie Ric-
ord, or Pat Mccarthy, one of whom
I feel will be ready for a big clash
by the middle of the summer says
Goodwin.
Sharkey 1oks to Goodwin like the
greatest possibility among the heav-
les. that has come up since Dempsey
doomed up above the l.orizon.
Sharkey is physically nearly a per-
feet double for the worlds champion,
and according to Aleck Mclean, one
of the keenest students of boxing;
the late Jack Bulger. manager of
Mickey Walker. and many others, the
ex- champion of Uncle Sans navy is
destined to ring fame. They base
their argument on the fact that he
has the speed, natural ability to box,
and the main requirement, the pow
erful sock.
Meanwhile. those who have seen
Sharkey shoot his powerful X. O..
particularly. those who saw him in
his slashing battle with Ricord. are
wasting no time in getting reserva-
lions for the return meeting at the
Arena, which was the most sought
after return fight New England has
had this season.
