New York State
Commission Warns
Richard on Big Fight

New York, Jan. 22-(AP)-The
state athletic commission todav took
a hand in projected plans for a
Dempsey Tunney heavyweight title
match next summer and warned Tex
Richard. in effect. that his is play
ing with fire" if. as generally be-
lieved he is negotiating for the bout
with Dempsey, who still is on the in
eligible list here.
The commission took no formal ac-
ton in the absence of any official
confirmation of either Richards re-
ported negotiation or his statement
yesterday that he was not subject to
the boxing rulers authority in this
respect. At the same time James A.
Farley, chairman of the commission.
made it clear that he considered
Richard fully subject to the board
jurisdiction, that it frowned unquaI-
ifiedly on any negotiat lions for a
Tunney- Dempsey match so long as
Harry Wills is on record here as the
champions official challenger and
that the promoter would find himself
in bad" if he takes any steps to vio-
late the. commissions rulings.
The fact that Richard is under
stood to contemplate matching
Dempsey and Tunney for a battle at
his Jersey City arena. Boyles' Thirty
Acres. instead of in New York state,
does not alter the situation, in Far
leys view, SO long as the promoter
is in business here.
Chairman Farley outlined the
boards stand on the Dempsey fight
as follows:
Dempsey is ineligible with this
board because he ignored our de-
mands that he answer a challenge
from Harry Wills. We believe Wills
to be Dempsey's logical challenger
and we will not sanction a match be-
tween Dempsey and any other chal-
lenger.
And we demand that Dempsey
meet Wills in state where they
fight to a decision. We don't care
where 1T is as long as the decision is
rendered"
Asked what steps the commission
would take In the event it received
official information that Richard has
been pickering with Dempsey, Chair
man Farley said:
Wen cross that bridge when We
come to it."
The commission announced that IL
had received telegram from Billv
GIBSON, Tuney's manager, explaining
that his conference with Richard on
Wednesday was for the purpose of
matching Tunney with "a logical
heavyweight" at the Ga len March
IA. Following the recei of this
telegram the commissions ruled that
Tunney must fight in TIL state be-
fore March Is or find hin elf classed
with Dempsey among the ineligibles,
In this connection the commission
announced receipt of a letter from
Tunney himself, expressing his will
lngness to fight Jack Sharkey of Bos-
ton at the Garden but explaining
that difficulties over financial terms
between Gibson and Garden officials
had held up definite arrangements.

PIRATES WILL
FIND PENNANT
CLIMB HARD, 1926

New York, Jan. 22-(AP)--Pitts-
burgh Pirates, favored by the youth
and confidence of a machine which
scaled the psychological barrier of
past failures last year, will face re-
organized and reinforced teams on
every front of the National circuit in
their 1926 drive to retain the cham
pionship.
Despite a general condition of pros
perity among club owners which has
frightened the winter trade market,
six Of the teams have been able to
make major league deals to streng-
then positions at which they dis
played weakness last year. The Pr
rate lineup, however, will remain I'M
changed unless Hal Ryne, infielder.
and Paul Waner, outfielder, Pacific
Coast additions, succeed in winning a
regular berth at the training camp.
Chicago, cellar occupant last year,
alone of the clubs has been unable to
make winter deal in the majors,
despite the bait of, the generous
Wrigley bankroll The new Cub pi-
lot, Joe Mccarthy, will make his fight
for a better position with a team re-
built from minor league recruits.
-Four clubs from whom vigorous
opposition to the Pirates has been
predicted on the basis of their per-
formances last year-New York, Gin
cinnati, st. Louis and Boston-have
taken steps to remedy shortcomings.
Players whose temporary loss
through injury weakened the Giant
drive to head off Pittsburgh last year,
have recovered under medical care
while McGraw has added Jimmy

staff. Hugh McQuillen, mound star
of 1924, who was suspended shortly
after the start Of the season last
year, has been mailed a contract and
is also expected to add slab strength
to the New York offensive.
First base in the Cincinnati infield,
gap in the Reds 1925 defense, will
have a new and capable guardian this
year if Wally Pipp,. recently acquired
from the Yankees, fulfilIs the expec-
tations of Redland, while the recov-
cry from an operation of the Cuban,
Luque, assures the same strong
pitching corps which Cincinnati had
last season.
Trouble from the Hub was forecas st
in the strong finish of the Boston
Braves. whose brilliant young hurl-
ers repeatedly turned back the Giants
and Pirates. Manager Bancroft has
also acquired Jimmy Johnson, a sea-
soned infielder, Brown, an outfielder,
and Jimmy Taylor, catcher, from the
Robins.
Brooklyn, rebuilt with veteran ma
terial and Philadelphia, looking for
added infield strength at first through
Jack Bentley. are hopeful.
Chicagos prospects. with a new
manager and an uncertain lineup,
!, however, are cloaked in doubt.

|C0NY BOYS AND GIRLS WIN OVER
THEIR OLD Time RIVALS, GARDINER

After a Kaleidoscope whirl of or
ange and black, red and white had
finally subsidized Friday night at City
Hall, 1t was found that both the Cony
boys and the Cony girls had emerged
victorious from the best brace Of
games that they have played with
their old rivals from Gardiner in
many years. The Cony feminine ag-
gregation and their plucky sisters
from down river battled to a 1911
score, and the Red and White boys
got other Gardiner opponents by a
score of 3S to 25.
The boys in the orange and black
suits, handicapped by the absence of
Capt. Rose one of their star forwards,
fought gamely to the finish and in
the final half outplayed their oppon-
ents by considerable margin.
Anketell, their left forward was the
shining light in their offensive play
scoring six baskets from the floor
and three from fouls. He was also
strong in defensive work.
Iapidus and Overlook of the Cony
team came through with the majority
of the Cony scores, Lapidus getting
seven and Overlook six from the
floor and Lapidus in addition netting
the leather three times from the foul
line. The entire Cony team played
hard and even, with the exception OF
shooting in which the two already
named eXcelled.
The game was peculiar one In
some respects. The ball went from
one end of the floor to the other with
Tightening speed and frequently when
one team seemed sure of good
chance to score, the other side would
come in from nowhere and intercept
a pass. Cony made the majority OF
points through long shooting, and
missed many more by the same me-
thod. many attempts being made
from three quarters the length of the
floor. Gardiner relied on passes until
under the basket, in the first half
| but in the last half mixed in many
| long shots. those by Anketell being
especially deadly.
The score at the end of the first
quarter was Cony 10; Gardiner 5: al

the three quarters Cony %. Gardiner

h. Other economic rights ceded
such as the right to build railways,
to open mines and so on.
Hence China's territorial integrity
is impaired, her administrative integ-
rity is broken, her economic freedom
of action is restricted, and her ma
tionals resources are exploited. All
these are contributions of imperial
ism.
Economic Consequences Of Imperial
ism on China.
TN China from 1912 to 1860 was the
l. starting period of imperialism;
from 1860 to 1900 was it's period Of
entrenchment, and from 1900 to the
present time 1t is defending its acqui-
sitions. The so-called open-door pol
icy is none other than a policy of de-
Tending the interests of imperialistic
powers in China. The above facts of
what Imperialism has done to China
already indicate the results. But
some specific consequences need to
be mentioned.
a. Economic consequences of treaty
tariff. Since the tariff rate was fixed
at per cent ad valorem, all goods
are taxed alike without regard as to
imports and exports, or nature Of
goods. For instance, opium should be
heavily taxed, or be entirely forbidden
to be imported. The taxes on ex-
ported silk and tea should be reduced;
those on food supply during a period
of famine should be highly increased
All this cannot be done under the
treaty tariff system. Consequently we
have no means to develop industry
and to protect It. Nor can we bal
ance our food supply.
Furthermore, since the customs ad-
ministration has been under the con-
troll of foreigners and since the salt
gebelle has been under the custody Of
foreign powers, all customs duties and
salt gebelle which have been collected
have always been deposited in Brit
fish bank, Hongkong and Shanghai
Bank, only per cent interest being
paid to the Chinese government. Thus
the circulating capital or fund in the
Chinese money market is greatly de-
creased. Business men suffer from
this money scarcity. The interest
rate OF Chinese bank loans Is from
10 to Is per cent. while the British
bank can lend Chinese government
deposits to foreign merchants at Q or
4 per cent interest, II goes without
saying that the cost OF the Chinese
business men is far greater than that
OF foreign business men N China
Under such a condition, how can the
former compete with the latter2 To
say nothing of justice and injustice,
the objective facts show how impe-

The Chief of
Police
BY THuRHER LEWIS.

TNHE American system Of municipal
government has given rise to the
existence Of very strange creature.
He Is called chief Of police. He has
no mandate from the people" He Is
appointed. But his powers are large.
They are the powers Of police-which.
when boiled down, means the power
OF military.
When this appears the 33rd national
convention Of the International Asso-
citation. of Chiefs of Police will be ad-
journing after a four-day session in
Chicago. Police chiefs and superin-
tendents from all over the land as
sembled at the Congress Hotel osten-
sibly to confide secrets Of the under
world, exhibit the latest weapons of
offense and defense, talk of extradi-
ton methods, fngerprinting, traffic
safety and the innumerable other sor-
did things that make up the business
of policeman.
Over a quiet bottle, some of the
more red-nosed and honest will con-
fide other things: "How's the graft
In your burg?" perhaps. For it is no
secret that chiefs of police are so
very close to the underworld that is
their perennial quarry that 1t is hard
not to get contaminated, so to speak.
1t seems to have become an integral
part Of the occupation of police chief
ing to issue denials of graft to the
annoying yellow press as fast as the
handouts come In from the protected.
You don't have to live in Chicago to
know that with very few exceptions,
II there are any at all, municipal gov
eminent in the United States reeks
with graft, bribery and protection.
Well, chiefs of police are the so-called
directors of the military arm of mu-
nicipal government. You can fancy
what crew collected at the Congress
Hotel.
But chiefs of police have another,
far more significant, far more social,
mission. They are the busiest and
most effective strike-breaking agents
in the country.

China Begins to Struggle
By Sherman H. M Chang

TN 1900 czafist Russia be-
4 gan to encroach upon Man
churta more agressively than
before. The Anglo Japanese
alliance OF 1902 was formed
in order to cause Russia to
modify her position. Finally
In 1904 the Russo-Japanese
war broke out, owing to the
conflict of imperialist inter
ests dn Manchuria. It was
ended in the treaty of Ports
mouth, 1905, by which Rus
STA abandoned TO Japan Port
Arthur, with other rights,
and gave up her attempts
upon South Manchuria and
Korea. Thus Russia only re-
tanned her right in North
Mancharia, and japan has
become the successor of the
expIoiter in North and South
Manchuria. The latter has
also been ranked since then
as one of the great powers
in the world. In 1910 she
annexed Korea, a former de-
tendency of China.
In 1912 the Russian gov
eminent made a treaty with
the local government of Mon
golia, promising to assist the
I latter in becoming indepen-
dent of China. In 1914 the
British government urged
China not to station any
troops in Tibet and not to
interfere with its govern
mental affairs. In the same
year Japan secured by force
possession of Kiaoehow, with
the promise to turn it
