SHOOTING STARS.

Gentleman Crook.
"Procrastination is the Thief Of Time"
The world has read;
His depredations brings US grief.
And yet it has been said
He works with such a pleasant smile
While pilfering what is best
We're tempted to forget his guile
And treat him as q guest.
'Mongst all the robbers we have met,
In fiction or in fact,
No other tempers our regret
With 80 much taste and tact.
These precious moments are increased
In charm as they take fight.
Procrastination is at least
Persuasive and polite.

Gates Main Issue.
DEFINITE STAND DELAYED
BY z. II. EGGER.


By Radio to The Star aud Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1924.
TOXIC, May 6.-The Japanese navy
department and the foreign office ap~
prove in principle the suggestion for
second disarmament conference. How
ever, the Japanese government has not
yet officially expressed it's definite and
detailed attitude.
Tendency by both the press and
pvblic to connect the immigration issue
ald any further disarmament pro-
posals is daily becoming more marked.
Tile policy to be followed in the immh
grl tion issue is still unsettled among
Jalanese government leaders. and this
is the reason for the governments
delay in making 7ly to President
Coolidge's proposals.
Government Hard Pressed.
Elimination of international competi-
ton in the construction of auxiliary
craft and other forms of armament is
certainly the best thing for Japan at
this moment, considering the govern
ment's financial straits and the huge
losses suffered in the september ear =
quake disaster.
However, other considerations are
bound to influence Japan's final de-
cision and answer should other nations
participating in the first conference as
semble again.
Suspension of the Singapore project
by Great Britain greatly increases
Japan's Willingness for further dis
armament proposals, although Aus
tralias stand favoring new naval
bases and the strengthening of her
own defense is causing some appre-
hension.
Attitude of Press.
While many vernacular newspa-
pers uneQuivocally approve another
conference. some editorial comment
reflects resentment over the immi-
grafton and exclusion action OF the
United States. Also tendency is
seen to regard the results of the
first disarmament conference as un-
satisfactory, especially as regards
the "five-fve- three" ratio and failure
to settle Chinese issues according to
plans adopted in Washington.
The conservative Toxic Asahi says:
says:
I'm order to make disarmament sue
cessful 1T is necessary to promote
spirit OF international harmony and
eliminate the causes of animoslty
and jealousy. Adoption of the anti
japanese immigration bill by the
American Congress is not in accord
ance with the spirit of international
harmony, because it is insulting TO
Japan. We are delighted over the dis
armament proposal. but hope that
America will repent its blunder and
rectify its mistake"
The Kokumin Shimbun, voicing op-'
position to the naval ratio decision
of the Washington conference, says:
Should a second conference at
tempt to limit our auxiliary vessels
on a basis of strength and time SINH
lar to the first Washington confer
ence we would never agree to such a
proposal. Japan does not anticipate
Of the far east
4 proposal to submit the immigra-
tion issue to a joint Japanese -Ameri-
can commission is gaining wide sup
such plan, but considers the present
time an improper one to officially ap-
proach Washington with such a prt-

PITCHING VERSUS
 HEAVY SLUGGING
Is Lattr More Spectacular for
 the Fans?

Is great pitching more interest ing than superlative batting?
 The remarkable twiring of Dazzy Vance, star pitcher of the Brooklyn club, is responsible for the query.
 Is Vance's chances of establishing a new pitching record as interesting to the fans as was Babe Ruth's feat of making 59 home runs?
 Fandom is as much interested in great pitching as hitting. However, pitching doesn't draw them at the gate as does the feats of swat.
 Ruth, when he was establishing his record of 59 home runs, was breaking attendance records every where. The fans flocked to the park to see him in action, cheered him when he hit a homer, "razzed" him when he struck out.
 While the National league fans have marveled at Nance's great pitching. still the fact that he was scheduled to pitch established no new attendance records.
 Which merely proves that while
New Britain herald., 1924-09-26

the fans may be equally interested, they want to see the hitting of home runs but are content to read about extra ordinary pitching performances.
 When Vance won his 18th game with only four losses for the season, he surpassed the mark made by Bill Donovan in 1907. That year Dono- van wan 25 and lost four.
 Joe Wood in 1912 captured 54 games and lost only five for per centage of .S72. This is the best mark ever made by a major league pitcher in the history of the game.
 Vance has chance to break this record if he can add two more vic tories to his credit before the close of the season and suffers no losses. That would give him four lost for a percentage of 1875.
 This surely has been a great sea son for the Brooklyn star. After being tossed around in the minors for years he finally comes into his own. He ranks today with the great Walter Johnson.
 Peculiarly enough. both Johnson and Vance use the same style, fast ball being their best asset.
 The fine showing of Vance and Johnson this year, as well as the improved pitching in both major leagues, makes 1t seem as if the twirlers were working themselves back to a fifty-fifty proposition with the batsmen, who for years have been supreme.

WILLS WOULD NOT
 BE ANY EASY MARK
Dempsey Might Find It Hard
 to KayO Him
By Joe Williams


 New York, Sept. l9.-Rather than establishing Harry Wills as a superlatively great fighter the re- cent ruction at Mr. Boyles spacious acreage reduced the good Senor Firpo to the unmistskab4e status of bum.
 Wills did well enough, all things considered. The punch with which he felled the Sheik of the Andes was a well-timed, solidly delivered right hander-as forceful and dam aging a blow as any of the several with which Dempsey smeared Fir DO a year ago.
 Wills drawback is that he is not a savage, instinctive fighter. Like Tommy Gibbons, he lacks a lust for blood. Had he been a bet ter fighter, a "killer," he would have slowed I'irpo away for the funeral dirge in the second round. For some unaccountable reason the negro hung back.
 Firpo Luckicst Fighter
 This is typical of Wills in high moments of the drama. Some weeks ago he rattled the teeth of the tough Bartley Madden with devastating punch. The Irishman was out on his feet. Another clout would have hung him on the ropes. But Wills declined to step In and deliver it.
 Firpo is one of the luckiest blokes that ever drew on a pair of mittens. By sheer chance he hap pened to catch Dempsey with wild, swinging right hand and the champion did beautiful standing, sitting dive out of the ring. If Fir DO had missed that punch-and 1t was wild and wide enough to miss locomotive he would have passed out of the picture then and there.
 But the punch happened to land, and the memory of 1t remained long after his subsequent knockout at the hands of Dempsey had been forgotten. On the strength of that one punch he was brought back to America to fight Wills. Promoter Rickard was confident Firpo would win, and thus qualify for another test with the champion.
 Wills showed the Argentiean up completely, just as many close fol- lowers of the sport predicted. Fir DO is merely a giant with a power full right hand which is effective only when an opposing chin hap pens to run against it. They are saying he looked worse against Wills than he did against Dempsey. This is because the fight lasted longer, and it was possible to de- tect all his crudities.
 Wills Can Hold Dempsey
 What Wills would do against Dempsey Is a question. It's cinch he wouldn't knock him out. It is no certainty that he would outpoint him either. On the other hand, Dempsey would have his troubles knocking Wills out.
 The negro is no dumb egg. Demp- sey has never met a man capable of punishing him at close quarters. Wills is that type of fighter. Demp- sey might not thrive on body blows and repeated kidney thuddings. Wills is stronger than the cham pion, and is better defensive fighter.
 q think Wills is good enough to hold Dempsey off and outpoint him In twelve rounds" remarked Jack Britton, former welterweight cham pion, to the writer. T think, too, it would be a terrible fight to watch"

The present vogue for simplicity is passing because women are not innately simple. When they lay aside their fripperies and their gaudy plumage it is only a tempor- ary measure that they may emerge again more gorgeous than ever be- fore.
