FIGHT BUSINESS
Is ON DECLINE
Richard Has Five New
Explosives To Try
Out

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-There is ter
rifying business depression in the east
ern fight industry. The smoothly oiled
turnstiles which clicked so merrlly
short time ago are now dusty ana
clogged with rust. Cobwebs are be-
ginning to gather in the box-offices of
the many fight clubs where but re-
Gently thousands of fight fans were
trying frantically to buy tickets before
the IS. r. O." sign was hung out.
Maybe, it isn't quite as serious as
that but, according to Tex Richard, the
fight promoter, the outlook is mighty
dark. Judging from the gate receipts
nowadays it would seem that the fight
public has dozed off into sleep that
never ends. Promoters have employed
many ways to arouse the sleeping ring
followers but to no avail.
Seeming this financial famine, tai
ented boxers are packing their trunks
and setting out for other parts to earn
a livelihood.
Richard Trys Hand
Now Richard is going to try his
hand again at stimulating interest in
the sport. He has just announced a
new shipload of powerful explosives to
be put on exhibition in these parts.
Richard has in mind the following
men whom he intends to put to work
soon:
George Godfrey, towering negro
Interchangeable, who has been adj
vancing rapidly toward the fistic spot
light.
Luis Angel Firpo, who still believes
he has the earning power in the United
States.
Romero-Rojas who. after disas
trous beginning in this country, has
been knocking over champions about
the country in an effort to vindicate
himself.
Ambitious Mexican
Antonio Fuente, an ambitious Mex
lean who prides in the fact that he
knocked, out Floyd johnson in Los An
geles recently.
Pat Lester, promising Pacific coast
scrapper.
1t is Richards intention to match
Firpo with Godfrey and have Rojas
leap into the limelight with a challenge
to the winner. While Firpo is said to
look with disfavor at the prospects of
bout with a man of another race be-
cause of his distressing performance
with Harry Wills in Jersey City, Rick
ard believes he can induce the wild
bull to accept his offer to meet God
frey. If Firpo should whip the negro,
bout with Rojas should be an inter-

TY Cobb was never perfect play
er. There has never been a perfect
one. Cobb is recognized as the
greatest because he came nearer per-
lection than any of the other leaders
of base ball.
Cobb had one outstanding mechanical
fault and that was a weak throwing
arm. This weakness could have been
avoided. Cobb has only himself to blame
for it. Cobb wanted to become pitcher.
AS a boy he played on the infield, at
short. But the ambition of every boy
who likes baseball is to be a great
pitcher. That was the secret ambition
of Cobb. -
Never during his long years in base
ball has Cobb become fully convinced
that, had he concentrated upon pitch
ing, he could not have become one of the
great moundsmen of the game. He
brought his ambition with him to the
majors and he nursed it through all
these years. Whenever he could enlist
the services of catcher Cobb prac-
ticed pitching. He would work with
the catcher for half an hour or more,
generally more. And while he worked
Cobb pitched twice as many balls as
any regular pitcher would in the same
length of time, for Cobb pitched as he
played, with q nervous speed.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-The path Of
glory of the 1924 football season has
already led all but four big eastern
teams to an early grave. Saturdays re-
suits threw the last spadeful Of dirt
over the buried hopes of few more
elevens, notably that of Columbia.
Circumstances had enlisted the sym
pathies of the fans in the Columbia
team, and when it went down to a IA
to 0 defeat before Cornell, the mourn
ing was general throughout the east.
Although the Importance of the Cornell
Columbia encounter was perhaps exag-
gerated, yet most fans counted it as a
big test of the Percy d. Haughton sys-
tenn of football as well as supreme
attempt of the Lions to take place
among the big grid teams of the coun-
try. The defeat of Columbia's hopes
was decisive as far as the present sea-
son is concerned.
Four Big Teams
At this critical stage of the gridiron
battle for mythical supremacy in the
east, with but two or three more games
on the schedule, there are four out
standing teams which might lay claims
to the honor If everything goes well il
the home stretch.
Pennsylvania university is the one
outstanding team which has been neither
tied nor defeated. McGraw's spectacular
PASS to Laird for 26-yard gain and 4
lone touchdown which won over the dan
gerous Lafayette team Saturday makes
the Philadelphia chances bright for
finishing the season without mishap.
This probably would give them the best
claims to the rather hazy eastern cham
pionship.

DICKINSON WILL
PLAY QUANTICOS

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. "A mil
itary spectacle that has not been wit
messed in this city since the Army
Navy game in 1922, will take place on
Tuesday afternoon when the United
States Marines football team from
Quantico, meets the Dickinson college
eleven on Franklin field in an election
day game.
Dignitaries Of the Navy, Marine
Corps and others in official life will
be present when the game starts. Secre.
tary of the Navy Wilbur is expected to
make the trip from Washington to wit
ness the contest.
The entire garrison of Marines at
the Navy yard here in addition to 700
men from Quantico, will sit on the
Marine side of the field and root for
their favorites. The Marine band of
100 pieces, regarded as one of the
best musical organizations in the coun
try, will play.

SEWANEE PREPS
FOR Ole MISS
Mountain Tiger To Make
Great Fight In
Memphis

>SEWANEE Tenn, Nov. 2.EThc
Sewanee Tigers meet their tnlra con-
ference foe in Memphis next Saturday.
The University of Mississippi Is sure
to have a stiff battle for Sewanee, dis
gruntled with the results OF the last
games is out for meat. The University
of Alabema gave the Tigers their first
conference defeat two weeks ago by the
score of IA to 0. Alabama, with team
that weighed fifteen pounds to the man
more than Sewanee, smashed her way
through the Tigers defense. There was
one satisfaction though for the Crimson
Tide with one of the best teams In the
south often failed to gain when she
attempted the Tiger line. At other times
the unequalled interference of Ala
bama made a defense well nigh impos-
sible against the broken field running OF
that fast little back, Rosenfeld.
Sewanee's second conference game
was disheartening. Kentucky walked
away with to 0 victory while the
Tigers made twice as many first downs
and much greater yardage than the
Blues. The lack of that final drive
when within the shadow of the goal
post is responsible for the purple de-
feats.
Besides the Kentucky heart breaker
when Sewanee was on the eight and
ten-yard line at two different times,
there was the Texas A. and M. affair.
Two times to be within striking dis
lance was not enough. The ten-yard
line was reached four times in this
game but no touchdown was made.
Coach Bennett is trying to eliminate
this telling default by placing conf
dence and drive in his team. Almost the
entire week has been spent in scrim-
mage in pushing the ball over when
touchdown is needed. Graham, Pow
ers and Mahony have been tutored I'M
til this defect seems to be corrected.
Powers has seen very little action this
year but it is now realized that he has
more drive than any other man in the
backfield. Because of this he is very
likely to be used in the Mississippi
game.
The lineup, in case there are no in
juries, will be the same as against
Oglethorpe and Kentucky. At left end
will be found the veteran, "Son"
Perry. He is playing his last year with
the Tigers and is indispensable in his
position. At the right flank will be
del" Gooch, a six footer that has
completely eclipsed his previous record.
Gooch was out nearly all last season
because of bad ankle but his come
back makes up for all lost time. He
is the most adept man on the squad
at pass receiving. In previous games
this season he has picked almost i'm
possible passes from the air.
Helvey has been shifted to left tackle
since Captain "Flop" Millards injury
against Alabama, which forced him out
of the game for the rest of the season,
Helvey, who is a 210 pound ram form
erly played on the right side of the
line. His vacancy there has been filled
by shifting Beaton from center to this
position.

In written FORM" says Professor For
rest M. Lunt, M. A., Instructor of Eng
lish in Horace Mann School, Teachers
College, Columbia University, 1--WE are
without the aids of voice and manner
to make clear what we are trying to
say. Our thoughts must be understood
because the relations which exist be-
tween the various parts Of our SEN
fences are clear. If the relations be-
tween the parts of our sentences are
not clear, the thoughts we are trying
to express will not be understood"
This is Professor Lunt's introduction
In The New Universities Dictionary to
his article on practical Syntax," which
shows readers of this new dictionary
how to build correct sentences.
"Good usage, common practice, So
eiety-whatever you will-has decided
what is good form, what is proper, in
this field of syntax, just as it has
in morals, etiquette or fashions" con-
tinues Professor Lunt; therefore, tire
man or woman who has occasion to
set his thoughts down in --riting
should observe the common practice,
the universally understood rules which
govern the relationship Ct words. If
he fails to do this, or if he attempts
to make his own rules, he will be con-
sidered without the pale of cultured

seen that the ability to construct sen.

ant than the power to speak"

FOUR EASTERN TEAMS
STILL IN I'll TIE RACE
Penn Indicated While Yale, Dartmouth And
Syracuse Have Tied Games

are the possible stumbling blocks. None
of these teams will be easy, but the last
two are the most to be feared by the
Pennsylvanians.
There are five teams in the east
which have survived the season thus
far indicated, but have tied scores
against them. They are Yale, Dart
mouth. Syracuse, Lehigh and Rutgers.
OF these, Yale, Dartmouth and posi-
bly Syracuse can be counted in the
running for the big honor. The Army
might be added to this list, despite their
defeat by Notre Dame and last Satur-
days Z to Z encounter with the Ellis in
Yale bowl. This tie puts Yale, Dart
mouth and the West Pointers about on
an equal plane.
Results Logical
Aside from the disheartening Cornell
Columbia result and the outcome of the
Pennsylvania Lafayette game, Satur-
DAVIS victories were quite logical. Dart
mouth lived up to its strong reputation
by overcoming the bitter rivalry of
Brown and sending the Bears back to
Providence with a 10 to 3 defeat.
Princeton did the obvious in swamping
Swarthmore 81 to 6, while Harvard
won over Boston university by only
IS to 0. Penn States 6 to 0 victory
over the Navy, although predicted, has
definitely put the Annapolis team in a
class far below their customary level in
spite of claims that they were saving
their strength for the important Army
Navy game.
Syracuse failed to win for the first
time this season Saturday, when Pitts
burg battled her to to tie. Though
hardly playing in championship class,
Syracuse has been playing remarkably
good football all season, and Saturdays
result is hardly disgrace.

Especial to The Daily Worker)

NSPSSldl 70 ne lazy WoFkeF)
LIVoRNO, Italy, Oct. 9.-The
liberal party of Italy, in conven-
ton here, has rejected by a vote
of more than two to one a reso-
luton favoring collaboration
with the Fascist.
This action was taken in spite
of the fact that Salandra, for
mer liberal premier, called on
the delegates to help Mussolini.
Salandra had returned to Italy from
Geneva, where he had been represent
ing Italy at the congress of the league
of nations, when the fascist premier
notified him that the liberal party was
in danger of repudiating the policies
of the government.
The convention also went on record
in favor Of the dissolution of the
black-shirts, which, they pointed out,
form an army outside of the regular
army and are called upon whenever
acts of violence are to be committed.
The black-shirts have been used chief
ly as agents of the government
against the working class.
