LEAGUERS
JOCKEY FOR
POSITIONS

Two crack amateur clubs. the Pitts
burg Water Heaters and Public Ser
vice Utilities, are jockeying for pO-
sition in the City League race. They
each meet formidable rivals as they
enter the back stretch Sunday after
noon and 1t will be a battle to the
finish.
The Utilities face n severe test in
the Sacred Heart entry when they
clash in a double-header on Utility
Field, postponed from last Sunday.
Pittsburg Heaters play a single
game with the strong Gulf RefinerS
on the Gulf diamond, which is apt to
decide their penannt aspirations.
HALF-GAME MARGIN.
A half game margin separates the
leading Utilities from the ast-travrl-
ing Heaters. A double win By the
Hearts and a victory for the Heaters
over the Refiners would give the Heat
crs a oBe-game lead at the top Of III,
circuit.
If the Utilities split their twin bill
and the Heaters win their game. a
tie will result. 4 double win BY the
Utilities and loss for their staunch
rivals would put the Public Service en-
try too far in front TO be overhauled.
FIRST GAME AT 2.
To fans wishing plenty Of action.
these games can be safely recon.
mcnded.
The first Utility. Sacred Heart game
starts at . o'clock, with Del Gotten
and Johnny DunsmOrc officiating.
Pittsburg Heaters and the Gulf Re.
fincrs get going at 3 o'clock. Ted

HALF IN EAST.

1t is now practically certain that
half of the series will be played in
the East, anyway. for the entire con-
test in the American League lies be-
tween the present champions and the
Athletics, who are holding up remark
ably into the latter half of the sea-
son. These two teams are so far
ahead of the Western contenders on
their circuit that one of them is sure
to come through, so it would be doubly
grateful to have the other half of the
series played in q Western city. Pitts
burgh is not so far west as Cincin-
natl or st. Louis, but it is in the
western division and Pirate victory
would enable many fans to see a
game or two who would otherwise
have to follow the series at q dis
lance.

PERFECT BODY
NECESSARY
To BOXER
In No Other Sport Are
Physical Requirements
SO Exacting.
BY JACK DEMPSEY

1t seems to me that fighter who
strives for championship greatness
needs to be possessed of more greatness
in a physical way, at least, than any
other type of athlete in the world.
A baseball player needs to have
fairly fast pair of legs, good throw
ing arm, ability TO make catches,
ability to hit the ball-and a certain
amount Of endurance. The golfer
needs coordination of mind and mus
Gle, a certain durability, plenty of
nerve control at critical moments. The
tennis player needs speed, endurance,
good wind,a steady hand and an I'M
erring eye.
The football player does not neces.
sarily need speed-unless he is in the
backficld or plays the ends. In such
cases he does not need great strength.
He must have endurance and courage.
The wrestler needs endurance, he does
not need much speed.
EVEN SKIN COUNTS.
But a boxer-well, if man who as
hires TO become n professional rinpman
lacks even so slight an asset as a tough
skin he's really h fen before no starts.
For II his skin Is nor Tough. he bleeds
sily when bit and constant bleeding
not only interferes with his fighting
ability. and NOT only weokens him. bnt

CLOSELY

The big question now before the Ma
tional League baseball public is wheth-
er the Pittsburgh Pirates are going to
falter in the stretch again this year,
as they have done several times in
the past, or whether they will have
the nerve and ability to continue fight
ing out every game until the end, with
an excellent chance to win the flag
and break into the worlds series.
Nearly everybody hopes that they
will stick it out, for there is a GER
tain monotony in having half of the
worlds series played at the Polo

for the past four years.

Jazz a Fad Says
Veteran Musician

New York.. Dec. 30.-(AP)-Sym.
phonic jazz, which now is fighting for
foothold in the highest of American
musical circles. is nothing but a fad,
without any symptoms of originality,
and is doomed to the Oblivion that
comes to all passing fancies.
So believes l.. e. Mandy, who once
played under Richard Wagner, the
great composer. and for 4e consecutive
has been a member of the New York
philharmonic Orchestra.
Jazz symphony" he laughed. "why,
jazz is just a rhythmicaI affair.
Rhythm has always been here. There
Is no originality about symphonic Jazz
it is taken from other compositions.
If one is to compose one must have
original ideas. This jazz fad now is just
to give our American composers
chance. But 1t will not last. If
America Is to produce a great COM
poser. its artists will have to get away
fropl jazz"
With these observations and snap
OF the fingers, Mandy dismissed the
subject. What was jazz to man
who had studied under Gustav NAH
Ter and Anton Brucknef and played not
only under Wagner and Brahms but
most of the worlds other great con-
ductors during the past half century !?
1t was back in 1874 in Vienna that
l was at a bass fiddle in wagner's
orchestra" Mandy said. Ills works
were little known then and HIS con-
Quoting was unusually intense as he
strove to impress his interpretations"
A year or two later Mandy came to
this country and 1t is a peculiar COIN
cidence that in 1877 he played in the
Philharmonic orchestra then conducted
by Leopold Damrosch, father of Wal
ter Damrosch, conductor of the New
York Symphony Orchestra, who re-
Gently introduced Gershwin's jazz
Concerto in r.
Theodore Thomas, whom some credit
with having done more for orchestral
music in North America than any
other conductor, was head of the Phil
harmonic orchestra I'm 1880, when
Mandy became a regular member.
In those days, the orchestra was
operated on cooperative basis by
the members, with a board of direc-
tors that handled it's financial affairs.
Mandy became a director during his
first year and still is member of the
board.
1T was hard struggle, but we were
glad of the opportunity for arts sake"
he said. Rarely did we finish the
season with funds to divide among the
members. The conductors then vir-
tually were on the same basis as the
members. but Thomas gave up his
share of the receipts several times
Tor the players and he was not the
only conductor to do this.
Most of the musicians then played
In other organizations and on odd &C.
casions in order to earn enough to live.
Now the society is a membership or
ganization and the players are paid sal
aries. This remuneration Is much
better, Mandy said. and players now
give their entire time to the society.

Issue Temporary
Licenses for Autos
During the Rush

For the past ten days the registra-
ton department of the Secretary of
states office has been showed under
with a throng of applicants for the
1926 licenses and registration plates.
So heavy has been the demand
that the force in this department was
unable to handle the rush of appli-
cants until yesterday, when Deputy
Secretary OF State Edgar c. Smith
put into use system of so-called
Temporary Operators Licenses"
and Temporary Certificates of Reg
tstration," good for 10 days.
The applicants simply hand in
their filled-in application with the
required fee, and receive these tenn
porary licenses and certificates. Dur
ing the Is days for which the tenn
porary clips are good, the regular
forms are made out and mailed to
them, and this system has enabled
the personnel of the registration de-
partment to handle the crowds easily
and swiftly.
The auto plates are given out with
the temporary slips, and Judge
Smiths method of solving the prob
lem is proving to be a very satisfac-
tory one in every way.
