By a Police Reporter.

written for the Federated Press).
The following study of the cops
was contributed to the Federated
Press by the police reporter on one
of the conservative New York dailies.
His name is omitted to protect his
job.
Gee, it's pity this guy Bernstein
gave himself up. If cop had made
the collar it would have been a sure
promotion for him."
This complaint came from a young
policeman the morning after Bern
stein had gone on shooting ramp
age in a lawyers office on Broadway,
killing two persons outright, and
causing the death of two others.
This young cop expressed the senti-
ment of most of his eomrades in blue.
Promotion is the creed of the police
man. He is on a job and wants to
make the best and most of it. If
Baltimore merchant goes crazy over
a real estate deal and comes to New
York to shoot up a lawyers office
why should not the Woodworking COP
profit by it and earn a promotion as
reward for arresting a dangerous
murderer. In addition to a promo
ton to detectives grade, his name
would appear in the papers, and his
picture in the tabloids and he would
be called a hero, and perhaps earn
the $500 gold reward given every
month by one of the tabs for heroism
in the police department.
For His Benefit.
Yes, the cops are looking out for
themselves. The papers may say
that the cop risked his life to protect
the public, but he knows that he
risked his life to earn a better liveli-
hood, precisely as the workingman
will dig coal, or a subway, or work
way up ON skyscraper to earn a
livelihood.
In political parlance a contract is
an order from the "leader" directed
at everybody, beginning with the
cop, and ending with the judge, to
abstain from doing something, usu-
ally from sending to Jail some "bird"
who stands in with the "leader."
Few policemen dare to disobey such
contracts" For that matter few
judges do. If policeman disregards
the order of the leader, he is pun
lshed by being transferred far away
from home: if he lives in the Bronx
ne is sent to a post somewhere along
the Kill Van Kull where Staten IS
land swaps mosquitoes with New
Jersey. 1a-.-
Gets Good Post.
When such transfer is made the
news in police circles spreads that
Boss So-and-So kept his word to have
Cop So-and-So BROKE" The cop is
certainly "broke" in spirit, and in
chances of promotion.
If, however, the cop is a good fell
low, and does as the leader, occasion
ally requires him to do, he will be
favored with good post, and pos
sible promotion. A good beat is
where "chiselling" is possible. There
is no graft" in the department, but
there is plenty of "chiselling."
Now, how and why does the cop
do his "chiselling Because he
wants to increase his income and buy
little car for the wife, and home
for the kids. Most victims of the
'chiselling" are traffic law violators,
pushcart peddlars, and small. store
Eeepers. They are forever threat
aned with summonses. Obstructine

BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, January 11.-Hum-
bert Fugazy tipped his hand and gave
out the information that he offered
Champion Gene Tunney $780, 900 10
defend his title at the Polo Grounds
this Summer. 1t Is common knowl-
edge that Tex Richard bettered this
offer and has the title holder tied UP.
Richard holds the upper hand for
the time being. But there Is no tell
ing what may transpire before the
season Is over.
Fugazy is fighter He does not
give up 80 easily He is still in the
field for a heavyweight fight. He has
the place and has one of the fighters
tied up. 1t iS now up to him to Sc
cure good opponent, SO that he can
draw a gate which will not suffer
much in comparison with the cham
pionship battle.
Jack Delaney, light heavyweight
champion. Is under the Fugazy tent.
If Jack Dempsey really means bust
ness and wishes to prove to the world
that he is still capable of fighting like
the old Jack, FugaZy will give him
the opportunity to prove 1t beyond
any doubt. The Italian promoter wants
to toss in the two Jacks. and he is
willing to offer either one of the
fighters more money than Richard
| will.
Both Are Popular.
There is no doubt about the popu-
larity of the two Jacks in New York.
Dempsey had his taste of what New
Workers think of him when he and
his conqueror. Tunney. stepped into
the ring in Madison Square Garden.
Dempsey was cheered to the roof, and
the champion was boOed.
Delaney is a big favorite. Against
Berlenbach, a home boy and then
champion. Delaney got the hand and
had the big crowd roofing for him.
He came through a winner.
Richard had an idea that Delaney
may he the one he needs to draw the
record gate he expects. He has to
bring in the customers to pay Tunney
the big money he jotted on the con-
tract.
= It may he that Dempsey Is not so
ALFRED eager to fight under the
Richard banner. and will take the
best purse offered him. FugaZy 10
prepared to do this. Should Delaney
and Dempsey hook, 1t goes without
saying that the pair will Outdraw
Tunney and any one else Richard
sends in with him.

The decline in baserunning has
diminished what must have been an
enjoyable and spectacular feature for
the fans. If a runner goes from first
to third or scores from second on an
infield out nowadays the fans gasp.
1t was often done 10 or 20 years ago
and not because the infielders were so
inferior to those of the present, but
because the runners had their heads
up and wanted to win game.
Jack Barry used to give the sign
with runners on third and second. lay
down a hunt and two runs breeZed
over on the play. Thrilling moments
in IA ball game come on plays like
that.
In my opinion. bas running-I mean
real base running-is as spectacular
as clever fielding or extra base
hitting. While 1t is true that one
cannot steal first base, the ability to
run bases well adds immensely to the
value of a player. As l said before,
that's where Cobb shone. | often

days years ago.
One Record for Collins.
Cobb holds most of the records. SO
| am rather proud to think that |
hold one, especially as 1t is in that
departing where / think he was
supreme--base running. l once stole
six bases in one game against De-
trot and repeated the same season
against st. Louis.
Years ago the battles between the
AS and Tigers were noted. The fans
came to expect something out of the
ordinary when we met. To even up
for the way Bush and Ty annoyed US
we used to do what we could to upset
their infield. especially during the
years that Claude ROssman played
first base for Detroit. Rossman had
pronounced weakness, and we dis
more constantly than some of the
other teams.
Claude couldn't throw. He was
about the worst | ever saw. When
any of us got on we did everything
to bring about n situation where
Rossman would have to take the
ball. Then we could run. | have
