In their first work Tunney did
his boxing and tried to perfect his
counters. German has a good left
hand. a much better left hand than
the average sparring partner flashes

to counter to head or body.

AS the Cleveland Indians
make their earnest, last-minute
bid to GUST the New York
Yankees from their proud place
in the van of the American
League, one hears many ex-
pressions of hope on all sides
that Iris Speaker might emerge
this season with champion
ship team.
Not that the fans are lack
ing in appreciation of New
York's sustained pace set early
in the season following a train
ing camp period when their
names were never mentioned as
possible winners and when only
stories of dissension and fric-
tion twixt Higgins and his men
came out of the Southland, but
more because the fast-graying
Speaker is such national
baseball idol and has had such
Indifferent success lately in
Cleveland, that baseball minds
everywhere would be happy to
see his efforts crowned with
victory.
One might, in view of past
service, say almost the same
thing for Ty Cobb, who has
certainly had a long, spec
-tacular and stormy career in
baseball history. And the last
specification is the one big
reason that Cobb really doesn't
carry the respect and admira-
tion Of the army of people
that does Speaker.
Both have been in the game
a long time; they are of about
the same baseball vintage, so
to speak. Each has been
fielding wizard, and Cobb has
batting records in advantage
over Speaker to make him the
more unusual figure, but his
nuisances committed afield have
dulled the great admiration &c
once held until he has long
ceased to have his former great
drawing power in baseball.
When we say Cobb commits
nuisances, We think we are re-
fleeing opinion which is in the
minds of many people. That's
just about what Cobb has come
to be in baseball competitions
nuisance - always slowing up
the game to argue over this
point or that. Eternally hold
ing back things to the disgust
of fans who pay money to see
the game fought out on the
field, not between manager and
umpire.
1t is all very well for a mana
ger to fight for the decisions;
It is part of baseball to "play
the corners" But Cobb seems
to play nothing else and the
pettiness of some of his conten-
tions are not commensurate

Christmas trees are now being
celebrated out-of-doors as well AS
indoors
But whether your Christmas
tree stands gayly lighted on your
lawn or festively dressed under
your own rooftree, it must be dee.
Grated for safety as well as for
beauty.
Until recently the hazard of light.
ing an indoor tree was almost
enough to keep people from having
the joy of it. Since electric lights
have been available, especially in
convenient sets for lighting Christ
mas trees. the danger OF fire has
been practically eliminated.
Christmas tree lighting sets are
made for connection to the house
current or for connection to dry
batteries or storage batteries. Keep
this in mind when you are pur.
chasing lighting sets. for the vari-
Gus kinds are wired differently and
are not interchangeable.
Quality in such an article as a
Christmas tree set may appear 70
be minor consideration. but the
reverse it true Poor quality sets
may be questionable from the stand
point Of safety Further, they fire.
quently develop socket and connec-
ton troubles, and poor lamps burn
out quickly, usually just when they
are most wanted, so that such tets
are apt to be a nuisance as well
as a possible hazard. The under.
writer's laboratories test Christmas
tree sets from the standpoint OF
fire hazard, and you will do well to
insist that your set has been ap.
proved by them.
The lamps that give the longest

service are generally those Of the
conventional conicaI shape. which
may be had in several colors. Bulbs
blown in the shapes of fruit, ami.
mails, figures. ETC., are interesting
and attractive, but usually do not
have the lasting qualities OF the
conventional shapes. II Is desirable
to have few extra lamps for re-.
placement, and care should be
taken that they are OF the same
type as those in use in the set.
The indoor tree sets are not
usually suitable for use on trees
outside the house. because they
are not made with moisture,proof
cords or sockets. Further. higher
candle power lamps are desirable
on larger trees. The most con-
venient way to light tree on the
lawn is to have an outlet or RECEIPT.
ac1e of proper waterproof type in
stalled outside the house. Connec-
lions can then be made to it with
suitable plug to which the wires
leading to the moisture proof .amp
sockets are attacked Your cleo
trician can install such an outlet
in well-chosen place so that you
will find 1t convenient for many
uses other than decorating the
Christmas tree. Electric lights for
lawn parties, and for decorations at
other festivals and holiday times
are being used more and more. so
that suitable outdoor outlets and
wiring are a real convenience.
The custom Of illuminating
holly wreath nor the window with
d single small electric light or sew
eral lights is fast becoming cstab
lished. Christmas tree sets prove
very satisfactory, or single light
may be provided by using a 10.
