PALACE QUIN 7
IS WINNER

Much sweet revenge was the por-
ton of the Palace basketers in
their grudge game with the
Rochester Centrals at the Arcade.
The local professionals simply ran
wild in the latter stages of the
game to win easily, 81 to "a, and
thereby retain a potential chance
to at least tie Cleveland for the
league second half title.
Bob Grody, the huskiest man on
the Palace combination, was hurt
in the second half and whitley"
Bernot, new acquisition, was shunt-
ed into the fray. He proved his
caliber when he sank a pretty two.
pointer with the teams almost dead
locked.
After that Manager Ray Kennedy
shot a couple of fouls and others
stuck their fingers in the pie with
fouls or timely baskets.
Rochester showed flashes of the
form that enabled the team to de.
feat Palace two weeks ago. The
road trip seemed to have taken
some of the stuff out Of them and
when they started to wilt in the
last half they went with a loud
bang. Saunders and Kennedy did
most of the scoring for the winners.

White Sox Get

SHREVEPORT, La. March 22.
Progpncts for the 1926 Chicago
White Sox are much better than
they were at corresponding period
last year, to state the CAST conserva-
lively. Between seasons the club
has added some infielders who seem
worth while.
Lack OF reserve infieIti strength
in 1926 caused them to zai out OF
the first division after Manager
Eddie Collins pulled up lame. The
team won II and lost "a games
during his absence and this was q
thorough tip-off on the situation.
However, things look decidedly
better now. Bill Humnefieih, pur-
chased from Portland, of the
Coast League, and Ray Merchant.

are two very promising inffeld
rockies. Htinnefieid is short

But most OF the shortstorping will
be done by Everett Scott, at least
until further notice. The veteran,
who became free asent after the
last world series, appears TO have
achieved a renewal Oh youth. He
reported in good condition, and. il
his legs hold up, he will get the job.

OFF ON TRIP

One long. long journey is ahead
of 10 members of the Georgetown
University track team. The boys
will stop off in Texas and other
nearby States for little jousts with
the track teams of some of our
colleges. Coach O'Reilly and Man
ager Ruffer complete the squad.
Those who will make the trip as
members of the team are: Captain
Hass, Gegan, Ascher, Swinburne,
Burgess, McClain, Plansky, Norton,
Dowding and Whelan. Whelan
earned his right to make the trip
by winning the sprint time trials and
will match strides with the best
in Texas in the 100 and 200 yard
dashes. Captain Hass will perform
in the hurdles: Dowding will broad
jump; Norton and Plansky will
handle the field events; McClain
will appear in the shorter runs,
and the other four compose the
relay team.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-In an ad-
dress before the American Iron and
Steel Institute today, Judge Ebert Il.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel corporation, suggested the pOssl-
billy of a concordant between the
steel makers of the United States and
Europe.
1--WE have heard considerable dis
CUSTOM" said Judge Gary, relating
to anticipated competition between
iron and steel manufacturers Of the
United States and foreign eompeti-
tors, but it Is believed that, should It
become necessary, an international
conference will be held between all
these interests and a full, open dis
cussion INDUCED in, after which fair
understanding could be reached.
cot course, no agreement between
the different interests relating to pric-
es could legally be entered into, with
out sanction of our law administra-
tors, but, If necessity arose, it is thot
the approval of the public authority
Of the country might be obtained"
There are no indications that the
demand for steel products will be
substantially reduced in the near fu-
ture. said Judge Gary, discussing bus
mess conditions. 1.-THE steel industry
today is receiving orders at the rate
of approximately 80 per cent of the
normal capacity of the mills, a rate
which Judge Gary and the other steel
leaders consider quite satisfactory.
while earnings reports for the
quarter ending Sept 80 have not been
made up, we believe they will be fully
as good for the industry as a whole
as in the preceding quarter"
Surveying general business condi-
tons at this time, Judge Gary said:
Crop reports indicate that produc-
ton this year will be nearly as large
as 1925, which was a bountiful year.
Money is plentiful, collections are
satisfactory There is sufficient labor
to meet all demands, and workers
should be and are entirely satisfied
with their rates Of pay and conditions
Of employment. The administration
at Washington is reasonable and fair
towards all interests, and we have
reason to believe that the majority Of
congress will support the president"

he left by initiating a 'Debs Enroll
ment' campaign of organization for
International Labor Defense. upon
whose national committee Debs serv-
ed since the day it was formed.
1.-THE unfailing support which Debs
constantly gave to International La

prisoners was a source of inspiration
which will lead thousands OF workers
to rally to the banner of /. L. d. in
the 'Debs Enrolment which we will
