Tv Cobb Was A Marvel
 In Art Of Keeping Fit
Hunted Continuously During, Winter Months
 His Big Hobby Was Dogs

faithfrllly or trained harder during his seasOrl than Cobb trained during his off season. He kept his legs in shape and he cs He'd on the heart and lungs. There was no chance for his muscles to be- come flabby.
 He gave the same attention to his fa,d. No trainer ever took greater care of the menu that he arranged for ath- le tes than Cobb took of his personal bill of fare. He drank great quantities of milk and ate many eggs. He claimed that milk and eggs contained the best food properties obtainable for building 'muscular tissues and for the nerves. He did not eat much red meat, particularly through the winter season.
 When he entered the major leagues he ate three meals each day. Then he decided three meals too much. A man could not do his best after eating a full meal The less he ate just before com petition the better he performed. So Cobb cut down on his noon meal, limit ing hIs menu to a plate of soup and sandwich. or simply to a double order of ice cream. And then, one day, he de cided that as he got along fairly well with nothing at noon so he eliminated lunch and limited himself to morning and evening meal. He drank coffee with evening meal. He drank coffee with both meals. In the morning he always ate generously of fruit. He continued this eating program through his ma jor league career and in that is one of the reason why Cobb lasted over such a remarkable long stretch of intensive competition.

SOUTH AMERICAN
 FIGHTERS LEAVE

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Several Broadway restauranteurs who bought large stocks of 12-gauge, balloon-type spaghetti and hot tamales for the South American prize fight trade are facing financial ruin. Luis Firpo. their best customer, who could be depended on to climb outside of 40 fathoms of spa ghetti and seven or eight gross of tamales at every sitting, deducted him. self from the United States few days ago and now Luis Nicentini and Miguel Ferrara. known as "Firpito,' because he looks like Firpo in miniature. are going away With them will go sev- cral members of the coterie of barnacles who attached themselves to the South American fighters as volunteer mana gers. bottle-holders and advisors.
 N.centini was reported to have sailed for France the day after Firpo tied loose in the general direction of Paris, but this wasn't so. He and Ferrara and a delegation of towelflappers will sail Saturday on the steamship Acina- qua. Vicentini is going home to San tiago, Chile. and FPrrara to Buenos Aires, but they threaten to come back next spring.

Betting Ring Of
 Big Proportions
 Uncovered, Claim

HHICAGO. Ill.,, Dec. 19.-Letters N signed by the "Enited Riders
 society of America soliciting betting cooperation in a scheme to fix one or two races every week by placing their own agents as riders on horses have been received by 30 Chicagoans and also sent to 50 per sons in all the large cities of the country, today's Herald and Exam finer said.
 The promoters, who used the names of prominent jockeys in the letter and gave Louisville, Ky, as headquarters, asked the recipients of the letters to make certain bets on designated horses and turn over any winnings to the promoters in return for the privi- lege of making any other bets desired, the newspaper said.
 The letter said the society had branches in Toronto, Montreal, New York, Cincinnati. New Orleans, Ti- juana and Havana, with a member ship of ,000 carefully chosen jockeys.

PRATT CITY AND
 ENSLEY BATTLE
Fairfield Journeys To Wylam In Soccer
 League

Ideal soccer football weather will probably greet the quartet of teams in the T. c. I. league when they take the field Saturday afternoon in their regular weekly battles.
 Ensley and Pratt City tangle on the latter's gridiron, and their meeting should be feature battle. The two teams, at present, have an equal rat ing in the soccer league standing, both being tied for second place, and a great battle will be staged for the honor of being runners-up in the race
 Fairfield journeys to Wylam to mee, the latter eleven in the other scheduled tilt, bringing together the leaders and the cellar champs. Vivian is big favorite to win the tilt, although the Fairfield clan have a chance to stage an upset, due to the fact that several of Wylam's stars are out of the lineup
 Ensley is favored to defeat Pratt in their battle, as the Pratt combine are minus the services of several oi their regular performers. Regardless the clash should be one of the best of the season.
 With very cold weather, and proba' bly, rain, being forecasted for Satur day afternoon, the soccer elevens are making ready for ideal conditions fol the game. The coldest of weather is great for the English pastime, while rain does not mar the conflict to any extent, due to the fact that the players are usually use to the wet conditions

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
 TO LIVE, SAYS JONES
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Dec. 19-The basic principle upon which the national demo- cratic party k based assures its per manency, Jesse II. Jones, finance direc- tor of the democratic national commit tee, declared today in a statement is sued in answer to varied reports as to plans for the future of that organiza- tion.
 "There is no occasion for speculation as to the future of the democratic party" Mir, Jones said. "It was founded on principles that will live as long as free people rule the world. Neither in. dividuals factions nor temporary issues chn seriously affect the party. It has had many yicisStudes in it's more than 130 years of existence, but always came back more virile and alive than ever before.
 "The question of the democratic cam. paign deficit is not of serious conse- quences. The money will be raised and the committees operations financed in an orderly manner. While no definite plans have yet been adopted members of the party organization throughout the country need feel no serious con cern about il. The amount, apprOxi- mately $300000, is not large when ap- portioned to the whole country and am pie time given to raise it."

ATHLETICS PART
 OF STUDENT LIFE
Coach Says Sports Be- coming More Rec
 ognized

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 19- Hurry Up" Yost, coach at the Uni versity of Michigan for two decades and now director of intercollegiate athletics, today smoothed out the last flutter of excitement that spread over the campus following Prof. Robert Cooley Angelrs "anti-athletics," report to the faculty.
 Athletics as part of the student life do not have to be defended" Yost said. "sports are becoming more and more recognized each year."
 In characteristic blunt to the point manner, Yost refused to enter into a long drawn out debate with the profess sor on the merits of athletics.
 Stronger attacks have been made in the past without effect" he said, com menting on the recent condemnation made by Angel. Athletics are firmly rooted and as a means of character building are thoroughly recognized"
 To suggestions of Prof. Angell's thesis that the faculty take a ruling hand in athletics, Yost pointed out the fact that at present the faculty has that position at the university.
 ''At proposals adopted at the faculty representatives meeting of the western conference of which Michigan is a member" said Yost, "are approved by the faculties of all the universities be- fore they are effective.
 ''The Athletic association here is not controlling sports. It is the school that runs the athletics of the university"

MEMORIALS AND
 PREDS WINNERS
St. Johns Gives First Methodist Hard
 Tussle

Two close games featured the sec ond round of the Sunday school loop contests Friday night, with St. Johns and Southside Baptist making the going rough for pair of favorite con tenders, First Methodist and Fifth Avenue Preds, respectively.
 First Methodists won, 24 to 19, the Preds romped away with victory over Southside Baptist, 14 to II, while Hand- lev Memorial swamped First Baptists, :33 to 2, the latter rot being allowed single field goal.
 The St. Johns quint came back in the second half of their contest with First Methodists, showing considerable improvement, and almost got away with win. The First Methodist combina- tion had staked themselves to a good lead in the initial period of play, and looked like certain winners. but their opponents showed them otherwise as the second portion of the struggle got under way. The comeback of the St. John clan was one of the features of the evenings entertainment. Hllburn and Smith were St. Johns lumlnaries, while Wood, Rawls and Carr were the stars of the winners.
 The Preds, big favorites for the flag, had trouble with Southside Baptlsts, but won out 14 to II. The scoring of the Preds was much weaker than they displayed in the initial clash, due largely to the fine defense put up by the Southside crew. Moore, guard, Holt and Cunningham played the chief roles for the winners. McClOud and Tin Lee were the outstanding perform CTS for the Southside team, which, Ii it keeps up the pace set Friday night, will give considerable trouble.
 The Memorials jumped away in their game with First Baptists and proceeded to make regular runaway. Lackmond was the bright luminary of the contest, this lad scoring IF points of the 33. while Sheppard played a great game. . Merrill worked well for the losers who were unable to score sin gle goal from the field, their two points coming on fouls.
 The line-ups and summary:
 Handley Memorial (33)-Barcliff (4) and Lnckmond Q2), forwards Ray (Q. center; Sheppard (4) and Thomp- son (D, guards. Substitutions-Ray- mond (G) for Thompson, Minto for Barcliff, Laney for Lackmond, Craw- ford {2) for Ray, Scholze for Sheppard.

CannOnball Eddie Martin
 Wins Bantamweight Title
Lumpy Little Italian From Brooklyn Wrests Belt From Able Goldstein After , Rounds

ticular point at the margin of the ring it appeared that Goldstein had held the championship without undue exer- tion.
 Uses One.Two Punch
 Abie's one-two punch had operated on Martins face with the precision and monotony of Spanish watercurd. The one-two punch is well-timed left and right manoeuver. You feint the other fellow into left hook. You pocket the same in the crook of your right elbow as it whistles toward you. Then he follows it naturally with right for the head and your left arm slips the blow aside. That same left of yours then makes a conyulsive stab at the sneezer. Then, before your adversary, in this case Cannonball Martin, can coil, you have smashed over your right to the mouth or kisser and you have rocked him if there's anything in your should CTS at all.
 Although Goldstein outshot Martin in the long range encounters all the way, he wasn't able to hold the Cannonball even in the intimate work where thelr arms were more or less entangled and their foreheads were touching. Martin, being designed on the stumpy, lumpy lines of wrestler, could square his feet on the canvas, can dig in his toes and slam away at the body for hours, where as Able, whose body is Ong and spare with muscles undulating beneath the skin like ocean swells beneath film of oil needed lots of room. As Gunboat Smith once great fist fighter in his own right remarked as he lummoxed around the ring after the bout was over, GOldsteln let go the championship when he de cded to stand with his horns locked flat on his hooves like an old cow, ars try to lick Martin by wagging his head.
 Blows Championship
 Godstein by far the better boxer anc cleaner hitter. blew his championship which might have placed him among the Dempseys and the Firpos and tht Lynches and the LeoAards as rich man of the ring by sheer laziness. He was strong and active, but he hadn' the enterprise to fight scampering fight and keep Martin at two-foot dis tance.
 The judges obviously based their find ings on the paving and cuffing that Martin executed while at close quarters and this correspondent has no disposi- tion to quarrel with them, for the gong was close enough to permit an honest ! difference of opinion.
