SPORT OFFICIAL.
ENCOURAGED BY
HIS STATEMENT
Father of N. Y. Boxing
Bill Takes Definite
Stand

On sit nillion members that
will get up and say we want and
not "we don t w.nt',' according
to Senator James w. Walker, father
of the Sunday baseball and boxing
bills in New York.
In a speech last night at the an
nual dinner of the national sports
alliance, Walker said "the need of
such an organization is apparent
when an unskilled representative Of
5000 people can get up before the
representative of five million and
shout that the public does not want
boxing, that it does not want Sun
day baseball, that it does not, want
Sunday movies and that it does not
want the theater.'
The defense, indirect as 1T was,
that Senator Walker sounded for
boxing, encouraged the members Of
the profession who had heard that
the father of the boxing bill had
soured on the sport and that he
would not lift hand to save it
at Albany.

could not join the League Of Nations

pie supported such a step, the dag.

II do not believe that the League
Of Nations is perfect. I do not believe
that II has assumed its final form.

out OF such conference in Gods good

Gals Claim.
By the associated Press.

By the associated Press
NEW YORK. October 2O.-Efic,ent
operation of the country's railroads
mas been substantial contribution
toward reducing the cost Of living
since 1920, according to an analysis
Of conditions made public Yesterday
by five Eastern railway officials. The
statement. representing the views OF
the Eastern presidents conference,
was signed by f. l.. LOOMS, presi-
dent Of the Lehigh Valley Railroad;
Patrick Z. Crowley, president Of the
New York Central Railroad: w. w.
Atterbury, vice president Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad: John Henry
Hammond. chairman of the Bangor
and Aroostock Railroad. and e N
Bowen. chairman of the Pere Mar
quette Railroad.
Last year the average time Of
transit was nearly cut in half" says
the review Of general railroad opera
tions. This automatically reduced
the amount of raw material which
manufacturers have to accumulate in
advance OF production. 1t reduced the
stock which wholesalers and retailers
must maintain in order to carry a
given volu'ss of business. The effect
was to lessen costs OF production and
distribution and to diminish the pos
sibility Of overproduction and of
consequent unemployment"
