SUPERVISION HAS
 AN IMPORTANT PART
Individual Branches of Sport
 Need Experts Attention
(By Billy Eyans)

Proper supervision is half the battle in any athletic contest. Many a fighter is saved through ca pable work by the men secondins him.
 World series have been decided through the managerial strategy ol one leader over another. It is needless to dwell on the part football coach plays in the success of the eleven that he is handling.
 What holds good in these sports goes equally strong for track athletics If America fails to win in the com- ing Olympic it will not be for the lacN Of competent supervision.
 A recent announcement from in" Olympic committee naming the coaches makes it evident that Amcri- ca's athletes will Dc well handled.
 While Lawson Robertson. famous University Of Pennsylvania coach will be in charge, he will share equally the duties with Walter Christie, Cni- versity of California mentor.
  these men the Olympic committee has supplied them with a number O. coach specialists, to he used as they sec fit. In all proba bility Robertson will connne his supervision tn tho track, leaving the field events for Christie.
 
 Many experts are inclined 10 believe that the personality of Walter Christie will have much to do with the winning of the Olympic, if that honor comes to the United States.
 For three years the University oi California has come cast and taken back home the intercollegiate track, championship
 Each year several of the larcer eastern institutions seemed to haN" more stars in their lineup than inc Californians, but somehow Christie put over the winner.
 While the California coach is not a. one sided mentor, it is a wcll-known facts that hc shines in inc field events. Superior work in this feature carried of the three championships that cane to California.
 Because Christie is to handle tho field events, the experts are of tho opinion that America will show to a decided advantage in this respect.
 
 If the material is there, the coaches selected 10 handle our athletes will do the rest.

SAYS COACH BLOOD TRIED TO HAVE
 PASSAIC PLAY NEW BRITAIN HIGH
New York Mayors Commit tee Turned Down Pro- posal, Writer Ayers Feared They Would Not Draw Crowd.

Jack Farrell. writing in the New York Daily News. takes q slam at the much touted Passaic basketball team and intellectually discioses for the first time, locally at least, that Coach Blood had made an effort 10 secure d game with New Britain High school but the, chairman of Mayor Hylan's municipal athletic committee said thumbs down 10 the New Britainites for fear they would not prove a good drawing card. Read what Farrell says:
 That the highly touted Passaic high school basketball five has no intention of meddling with any teams which might injure their great record Of 14a straight games is evidenced by the epidemic Of cancellations which has Gripped the little Jersey town during the past forty-eicht hours.
 First signs Of the fever were shown when Coach Ernest A. Blood with drew the team from the semi-t finals of the New Jersey state championship tournament on Monday evening. The malady reached an acute stage when Blood sent a wire to W. W. Cohen, chairman Of Mayor Hylan's commit tee on municipal athletic activities yesterday morning canceling the game pending with St. John Prep of Brooklyn at the Twenty-second Regi- ment armory here on March 2S for the benefit Of the American Olympic fund.
 Olympic Benefit on
 Blood's telegram said that the rule of the passaic board of education against benefit games is still effective.
 Chairman Cohen thereupon called off tho entire basketball carnival.
 Passaie's unexpected withdrawal from the state tournament came when the officials refused the demand Of Coach Blood to switch the semi-iinal games from the Fourth Regiment armory in Jersey City over to tho Elizabeth armory. This was an easy way out of a meeting with ono or two ical good teams.
 CoIicn's Position
 Explaining tho dealings he had with the Passaic people with regard 10 the proposed benefit game, Chairman Co- 1 hen said yesterday:
 "Whcn l opened negotiations with | Coach Blood ho tried 10 persuade me !. 10 accept tho New Britain team as an ! opponent for Passaic. This team : would have been or no local value. so mentioned st. Johns Prep, which was quickly accepted. Tho mayors committee has gone 10 quite A little expense to arrange this game. and I l ran assure yon that Mir. Hoods sur | prising attitude is indeed g shock to nll who were interested in aiding tho ! American Olympic fund"

HUGGINS PREDICTS l
 ANOTHER TENANT
Mill Stand Pat With His Veteran
 Lineup

New Orleans. March 20.-Mr. Miller Higgins Of the champion Yankees. who are currently involved in their annual spring calisthenics, peers over his gold trimmed glasses at you and frankly admits that his ball club probably isn't as strong in all respects as it was year ago.
 Then Nil. Huggins. who is about as heroic looking in his drab. plainly tailored civies as an order of French onion soup, reminds you that his ball club was exactly 106 points stronger than any ball club in the American league last year-these figures rep resenting the mathematical margin which separated the New Yorks and the second place Detroits last October.
 Continuing. Mir. Huggins--who is talking as he scans the stock reports in the late afternoon extras, being an investor of no small conscquence-- gives you to understand that his Yankees can afford to slip somewhat, say 50 points. and yet he formidable enough to win their fourth champion ship. a feat which has not been &C., by major league team since Gibraltar was a pebble.

Senator Mccormick Sees
Hope For Quick Action on
Child Labor Amendment

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-Expressing the
hope that report may be had from
the senate judiciary committee on the
proposed child labor constitutional
amendment at an early date, Senator
Medill Mccormick has written to
President Samuel Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, ex-
planning the present status of the
measure and expressing hope for
prompt action.
The proposed amendment intro
duced in the senate by Senator Nc
Cormick is backed by a group of six
teen national organizations brought
together by the president of the
American Federation of Labor for
that purpose.
"As you know" said Senator Nc
Cormick in his letter to President
Gompers, II have introduced the text
of the child labor amendment drafted
by the distinguished lawyers whom
we called in consultation, and unan-
imously approved by the committee
of the national child labor conference
which you convoked The facts re-
garding the industrial exploitation of
American children were presented to
the judiciary committee of the senate
in the last congress.
I'VE shall ask our legal advisers
IN the senate and elsewhere to hold
themselves in readiness to explain to
the judiciary committee the reason
for our agreement upon the terms of
the child labor amendment which
introduced in lieu of that reported to
the senate at the last session | hope
that argument upon the text of
the amendment may not be unduly
delayed hope that report may be
had before long to the end that we
may not dangerously and cruelty post
pone action by congress and the state
legislatures upon a child labor amend
ment
"All of us who are opposed to the
runionous exploitation of American
childhood are indebted to you and to
the members of your committee who
gathered so promptly at your call,
and who so decisively and synpathet-
ically collaborated with us of the SEN
ate Let me congratulate you upon
the energy and tact with which you
yourself acted.

cause to which we are committed,
should take appropriate steps to

The British elections are over. But
what is the result? Neither of the
three parties, conservative, liberal,
or labor socialist, has majority. So
that all platform planks that were
espoused. by one party exclusively are
defeated, and only those planks favor
ed by two of the three parties have
won. The conservatives and socialist
laborites agree about nothing. But
the liberals-who got 291a per cent
of the votes cast-and the socialist
laborites-who got 31k per cent (2
per cent more than last year, not
much of gain)-agree on several inn
portant planks. The following
planks, in this way, have won the
support of SO per cent of the cleo
torate:
/. Anti-protection.
2. Public works as remedy for
unemployment.
3. Full relations with the soviets.
But the liberals and conservatives,
who got 80 per cent of the votes,
represent still larger proportion
of the electorate-68h per cent
They are united against
l. The capital levy.
g The public ownership of mines,
railways, and electric power.
3. The cooperative commonwealth
or socialism
This is what the election decided
provided some majority coalition gov
ernment can be arranged to carry out
those of the above policies which re-
quire action. No action is needed
against protection or socialism.
They are non-existent now and will
remain dead But action is required
for public works program or a
pro-soviet policy-and both require
a liberal-seciahst coalition. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the entire
liberal party can be swung for either
or both-of these policies. One
third of the liberals hold the whip
hand. For by going over to the con-
servatives on any vote, they could de-
stroy such coalition.
