THE FOR ACTION

American cities have reached sad stage of cviliza-

Yesterday, IN New Jersey city the machine gun was
brought INTO play by squad Of bandits who used the
weapon to murder mall guard and loot the car he
was operating, of S2UO,00O worth of registered
mail.
Why don't the police clean out these bandits and out
laws the average citizen asks.
All the blame for the startling criminal activities in
American cities cannot be placed the door of police
laXty. Some of 1t belongs there, without question.
Most OF 1t, however is chargeable the absolute in

beat America by developing some
degree OF team balance for the In.
ternationaI games at Amsterdam
In 1928. The Finns scored a lot Of
first places at Paris. but only be-
cause Nurmi and RitoIa absolutely
dominated the distance events.
They will be back again for more

supplement their twO-man scoring
system, plus the efforts Of Taipaie

lin, respectively.
The trouble with Finland. Il any,
has been that 1t Is a nation boast
ing a maximum OF strength In 2
minimum of events.
Outside Of Nurmi, the Firms have
developed no one who could be Zig.
ured seriously at 800 or 1900
meters. Above that distance right
through to the Marathon, they have
more good men than any other
competing nation.
They also are very good in the
javelin and discus throws, but none
Of their big men can do much with
the hammer or shot.
We can understand why they are
Indifferent broad jumpers, since a
man can get nowhere in this event
unless he has natural speed. This,
also, would account for the fact
that their pole vaulters are a minus
quantity. II itewasn't that Charley
Hoff, a Scandinavian himself. Is
the greatest vaulter that ever lived.
The Swedes, from a neighboring
country with much the same tradi-
tions and conditions, have turned
out some fine short and middle

seem to follow that the Firms can
do likewise.
Anyhow, they intend to spend

I W0 SCHEDULES
FREAk|SH

For some reason or other big
league schedule makers do not see
fit to send Eastern teams West
and Western teams East but once
in the first half of the campaign.
That leaves two intersectional
trips in each direction during the
second half of the season. Also it
means that every teams schedule
In its own sectional territory is
two-thirds finished by the Fourth
of July.
For example, Pittsburgh and Gin.
cinnati meet Is times before tho
Fourth and only four times there
after, whereas both teams must play
each Eastern team approximately
IA times after the Fourth.
In the American League, Wash
ington and the Athletics will meet
in but four battles after the Fourth,
but each must play approximately
IA games against Western teams
after the Fourth.
An ideal schedule would split
every teams games against every
opponent pretty evenly for the
two halves e the year, but 1926
schedules do not even approximate
the idea.
Notice some OF the lop.sided ar
rangements:
American League Cleveland plays
its last games in Chicago July s.,
New York plays its last game in
Boston June 26, Philadelphia has
only one game at Washington after
June q. Boston has only one game
In Philadelphia after July {. Wash
ington plays but two games in New
York after July 1.
National League BrooKlyn plays
its last game in Boston, July Z.
Cincinnati plays its last game in st.
Louis. July Z. Brooklyn at home
has but two games with New York
after July 2, two with Philadelphia
after July 4, and three with BOs-
ton after June 2.
New York lat home has only one
game with Brooklyn after July 3
and but two with Philadelphia after
July s. Chicago plays but two
games in Pittsburgh after July s..
Pittsburgh plays but one game in
Cincinnati after June 20. st. Louis
plays but two games In Chicago
after June 2.
A somewhat similar condition
exists in the American League.

II both teams start well they will
hold each other back. Moreover,
the Yankees promise to show
strength in 1926, and IL so, their
IT games with Washington and
their 13 games with the Athletics
may wreck some Eastern pennant
hopes.

strongest team in the American

the year. In 1926, while Washing
