SEES FOOTBALL
 NATIONAL SPORT
West Conference Official Makes
 Predictions ...

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Foutball is de- stined to become the American na- tional sport, and in the future, if stadia are built to accommodate them, crowds of t25,000 or more may be found watching the grid game, Major John L. Griffith, con- missioner of the Western Confer ence believes. -
 His view of the spirits future comes from observation of the growth in popularity of football in the past few years.
 "The greatest single drawing at traction in sports, amateur or pro- fessional, had been worlds cham pionship prize fight with the heavy weight title in view" Major Griffith said.
 T suppose 90,oOo is the correct es- innate of the greatest crowd the boxers have drawn.
 "The Stanford California game on the Pacific coast this year outdrew that by several thousand, and the return of the American intercollegi- ate football code to Stanford and California has been comparatively recent"
 Interest in football now extends beyond the colleges. their students and alumni, Major Griffith declared. This has come with the eidevelopment of individual stars or combinations like Red" Grange of Illinois and the -Four Horsemen" of Notre Dame.
 Baseball. he believes. is experience ing a slump in popularity in colleges and has been abandoned by one collegiate conference. the Midwest.
 In the new popularity of football and the intersectional interest aroused, Major Griffith sees stand ardization of the game and the pass ing of the so-called eastern game, or "western game" At present he believes, the midwest Is producing the best football,

POISONED BULLETS MAY KILL LEADER
Chicago Vice King However,
 Refuses to Name Gunmen

. Chicago, Jan. 26.--Poisoned bull lets may complete the job of re- moving John Torrio, bungled by three gunmen who failed to put any of five bullets in vital spot when they made him the latest victim of Chicago gangland's war, Saturday. A high temperature, racing pulse and gradual weakening of his vital force lent to. surgeons corroboration sof Torrios own idea that his assail ants may have resorted 10 poison 10 make certain that he was slain. z
 Facing death Torrio refused to name the men who shot him as he left his automobile with his wife in front of their home. He admitted he knew them, but merely shook his head when the police pressed for names. The police had their ideas as to the assailants, but of 115 men arrested after Torrio was shot, none was named as wanted.
 That Torrio was shot in gangland strife growing from his participation in underworld overlordship. liquor running, or in revenge for the recent murder of Dion O'Bannion, gunman, rum-runner, florist, was the police theory, although Torrios friends as- serted he had been friendly with IO'Bannion and could not be suspected in connection with that staying.
 Two score policemen and a group of Torrio's friends are guarding the hospital to keep his enemies from returning to the attack. The police believe the shooting of Torrio pre- sages one of Chicago's worst out breaks of gang warfare.
 Torrio recently was sentenced 10 nine months in jail for beer run ming. The police believe his. assail- ants wanted to "get" him before he started to serve his sentence.
