One of the most noteworthy devel-

said recently that the average investi-

! fhe chief benefciaries of these in

pliers who receive considerable money
for their pothooks of testimony and
special attorneys. 1t was brought out
in the Senate debate this week that
approximately two or three hundred

contested election cases. This does
not take into consideration the post
election contest in the House, which
has large membership.

under the direction of the Secretary

ALIBI FOR JACK

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The first
serious attempt to explain Jack
Dempsey's poor showing in the fight
in which he lost his world heavy
weight title to Gene Tunney has been
made by the physician attending the
ex-champion in his hotel here.
Dempsey remained 'in quarters"
today, but DIR. Frank H. Russell, at
tending him, said he Is not seriously
i'll and will be around in about a
week. He has not been confined to
bed.
DIR. Russell said Dempsey is suf-
fering from an infection under the
left arm pit, akin to boils, which
he contracted during training.
"I believe when he entered the
ring he was a man intoxicated by
the poisonous matter which affected
his blood" DR.. Russell said. IT have
no hesitancy in advancing the theory
that this infection had an adverse
effect on Dempsey's boxing and a
depressing influence on him gener-
ally"
Dempseys only comment was to
repeat what he said after the fight.
II lost to a better man; I have no
alibis."

Believes St. Louis Is
Destined to Win as
Tragedy Stalks.
By Henry l.. Farrell.
United Press staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Oct. AFTER having
guessed wrong on the channel
swims, Bill Tilden, Bobby Jones,
Jack Dempsey and Glenna Collett.
the writer hesitates to place a jinx
on one of the teams in the world
series by picking it to win.
Considering everything, however.
technical, physical and moral quail
fications, the st. Louis Cardinals are
picked as a slight favorite to beat
the American League champions in
series that may go the limit. It's
almost sure bet that it will not be
over in four games.
The Yankees have the advantage
in the outfield; the Cardinals have
the edge slightly in the infield; the
Cards have a big margin behind the
bat and they have more good
pitchers than the Yankees. But
there is no way to tell that Waite
Hoyt and Sam Jones, who have not
been going so well, will not return
to form.
Cards First Pennant
The Yankees have more expert
ence, but they haven't the spark of
youth and the fire of ambition that
brought the Cardinals through a ter
rife fight to win the first National
League pennant st. Louis ever has
seen.
Gertrude Ederle swan the channel
for her country, Mile Gade swan
for her kiddies, Mile. Lenglen
crossed the Atlantic for money and
the Cards will be playing ball for the
folks back home. OF course. there's
money in it for them-big money
but the enthusiasm of the hometown
fans cannot help but inspire them.
The Yankees will be playing only
for themselves. New York teams
never have a public to play for like
some of the teams in the prov
inces. -
Tragedy, as it descended upon the
St. Louis club with the death of the
mother Of Rogers Hornsby, may
prove an additional inspiration,
instead of a spirit-breaking blow.
The club will be playing for "Rog,"
and will be playing it's head off be-
cause the boys know what a terrific
sacrifice their young manager made
to stay with them and help them in
their greatest battle.
I'VE played ball for him all sea-
SON." one Of the ST. Louis PLAYERS
said, land now, under the most els
tressing circumstances, he's playing
ball for us. don't see how we can
lose"
Chapman Death Recalled
The case is mindful of the tragedy
that hit the Cleveland Indians in
1920, when, in the heart of a torrid
pennant race, Ray Chapman, a star
shortstop, was killed by a pitched
ball. 1t was a blow that would have
killed a less stout-hearted club. espe-
cially when iris Speaker had TO
grab Joe Sewell, an untried young.
ster, from a college diamond and
trust him with the most vital posi-.
ton on the club.
The team rallied to Sewell and to
Speaker and they won the pennant
and the world championship and
Young Sewell was one of the real
heroes of the series.
There was an example Of tragedy
giving birth to inspiration. There is
another angle also.
The grief of Hornsby has taken
much of the strain off the st. Louis
Club. They haven't been thinking
or worrying about baseball and they
may be in much better mental con-
dition than the Yankees to start the
series.
