PLAYER MADE GOOD
 IN THREE PLACES
Pittsburgh Recruit Played Two lnfeld and One Outfeld BerthS

New York, Jan. 27.-Eddic Moore, Pittsburgh's brilliant recruit, played two inneId positions and an out field position and batted 1859 in his first year in a big league uniform, according to the official averages of the National league.
 In many respects Moore was the most valuable recruit of 1924. He played in a utility role for the Pirates except for a brief period when he was on the hospital list. His remarka bIe playing was somewhat obscured by that quartet of rockies who went to Dreyfuss about the same time and won regular berths.
 kremer, Ide, Cuyler and Wright, ill in their first year in fast con- pany, went great guns for the Pirates and their work somewhat crowded out Moore. but the latter's slowing in the face of such opposition stamped him as one Of the grcates finds of the season. Manager Bill McKechnie considers Moore an- other Hornsby or Roush in the mak- ing.
 Moore filled in for Pie" Traynor when the hot corner artist got in a slump. and felded fawlessly. He playcd second for Maranyille in 17 games and batted better than 800 in addition 10 fielding his position with out an error.
 Then a hitch in the outfold gave him his real chance. He found him. self and in 55 games made only ono error and battcd at a $50 clip right in the heat of the pennant struggle.
 Moore first played professional baseball in St. Petersburg, Fla. in the Florida State league in 1922. The next season he went up to A. lanta and at the start of the 1924 campaign wore a Pittsburgh uni form. He was only T when he ar rived.

DUNDEE WILL to
 AFTER OLD TITLE
So Manager SayS--Natl. Board SuSpends Him for French FiaSco

New York, Jan. 27.--Johnny Dun. dee, veteran Italian lightweight and former worlds featherweight cham pion, came back to the United States to enter tho lightweight elimination tournament and not to reclaim the featherwcight title, James J. John ston, Dundee's manager, said yester- day.
 Fear of provoking the wrath of the state athletic commission prompted Johnston to issue a formal statement yesterday clearly defining Dundee's position.
 Dundee never intended to reclaim the featherweight title which he voluntarily relinquished," Johnston said.
 "We do intend, however to ask the state athletic commission to re- instate Dundee as a fcathorweight if he can show the boxing board that he can make the weight without weakening himself too much. Then Dundee will attempt to win back the title In the ring
 Johnston said he would so before the state athletic commission at it's regular meeting today and seek reinstatement for Dundee as a featherweight and also to make plans for Dundee's entrance in the lightweight elimination tournament.
 Members of the commission re- fused to comment on the latest turn of affairs in the Dundee matter other than to say that official noti- fication of Dundee's suspension by the French boxing federation has been received. Just what action would be taken against the veteran Italian could not be learned last night but if the commission adheres to its agreement with the French solons, Dundee will be blacklisted in this state until he fulfus his agree nent to meet Fred Bretonnel. French lightweight.

FOOTBALL DEMANDS ENORMOUS STADIUM
Athletic Fields to Be Enlarged to
 Accommodate Patrons

Palo Alto, Cal, Jan. 27.--The ath- letlc stadium at Stanford university, which seats 65,000, is expected to be enlarged to accommodate 9O,00O b next football season.
 This would provide the, largest football stadium in the country. Plans for the enlargement followed the big game with California Nov. s2, when 90,000 people overhowed the California stadium at Berkeley which seats 7G,0O0. Those who could not get into the stadium oc- cupied hilltop just above it. Next fall the game will be played in the Stanford stadium. and efforts will be made to take care of the throng sure to want tickets.
 The Stanford stadium was built five years ago. Designed by profes- sors in the engineering department Of the university. it was hollowed out of the earth and the tiers of seats rest against terra firma. The earth for the sides was thrown up from the excavation made for the playing field. At present 1t is a horseshoe, with an open side used as a straight away for track events, to supplement the cinderpath that encircles the edge of the field. According to plans, this open space will be filled, making the stadium bowl shaped. More seats will be added by increas- ing the height of the embankment on all sides.
 Interest in college football in this region has increased so rapidly in recent years that it has been hard for the athletic authorities to keep up with it. Ten years ago crowd of 10000 at a Stanford California game was considered large. The California stadium was completed q little more than a year ago, in time for the big game, which was held there two successive years. The Berkeley stadium is just across the bay from San Francisco, while the Stanford campus is 30 miles down the peninsula from the city.

URGES WHIPPING POST FOR ALL
 WIFE HEATERS

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April 10.- Most people get a divorce in. order to get married again.
 This statement was made here by Rev. J. w. Graves of Clarksburg, W. Va, in discussing the widely heralded divorce situation in the United States.
 Divorces, he declared, are too easily obtained and their large number is gradually undermining the nation s home life.
 Urging that constitutional amend ment providing uniform marriage and divorce laws throughout the country should be adopted, Dr. Graves declar- ed that divorce laws today are not for the good of society, but cater to the whims of individuals.
 People are getting married who lack the training that is essential to matrimonial success" he said. Many of the married men do not know how to earn a decent living and many of the married women do not know even the fundamentals of cooking meal. Dr. Graves advocated a return to the old-fashioned whipping post to pun ish men who abuse their wives. Tn stead of punishing the man who mis treats his wife, the courts give the woman divorce which frees the man of responsibility"
 Men and women who are not men tally, morally or physically fit for mar riage should not be permitted to come to the marriage altar" Dr. Graves said.

 It is pointed out by members of the post committee that the hospi- tai here, No. S5, as now constructed, was built for 162 patients, but that by putting in extra beds, in space that should not be utilized because of crowding, the capacity has been in- creased to 2SS and that there are now 225 patients in the hospital.
 The committee also states that there is no other hospital in the Se- attle regional district available for tubercular men and some of them are forced into temporary accommo- dations at Tacoma and Boise, while others are not being hospitalized at all because there is no room for them; and that a total of $10,000,000 has been appropriated for additional hospital facilities and funds for the addition needed here should be avail able from this appropriation.
