More Truth Than Poetry
By James j. Montague
ONLY A PIKER

We have frequently counselled importunate youth
That the way to win fortune and fame
Was to follow the footsteps of George Herman Ruth
And surpass in the national game
For we knew very we'll that the Sultan of Swat
Held great and exalted position
And we thought-at the tme-that the
Would safe the avid ambition
But these words that uttered vain rash and unwse
We hasten today to recall
For compared to some men not quarter his size
The Babe gets money at ALL
What price the SalvOs of plaudits and cheers
From bankers and plumbers scholars
If one only receives in the of three years
Two hundred and ten thousand dollars?
There is hardly in the trivial trade
OF dispensing the product called -
Who would not the wolf at his door if he made
In three years such a pitiful sum-
No photopay star Hollywood lot
Could keep up his dgnfed station,
Or marry wife every year if he got
Such palpably poor compensation.
Why even, for signing vetoing laws
Taking turn the bat,
Our able but underpaid president draws
Quite little more money than that.
So today advice to importunate youth
Is to walk in the wake of Gene Tunney
Or Wrigley Ford, and forget Mr.. Ruth
he doesn't how to make money

Deaths Leave Surplus
 Of British Duchesses

London, Jan. Is Pl-British duke doms have several more duchesses than dukes, owing to the fact that some of the latter have died and were survived by widows.
 The dukedom of Westminster has no fewer than three duchesses, but none is wife of the holder of the peerage. Two are ladies who have divorced him and the third the widow of his grandfathef the first duke of Westminster. The Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos carries the names of an extinct double duke dom. Her husband was the last holdcr of the titles.
 In the twenty-seven royal dukedoms, including the last to be created. which was the Dukedom of Fife, there are several more duchesses than dukes because of deaths of dukes
 One dukedom is held by woman, Princes Arthur of Connaught. and three dukes are not married--the minor Duke of Norfolk. and the Dukes of St. Albans and Argyll.
 The death of the Duchess of St. Albans leaves second dukedom without duchess of it's name. The other is the dukedom of Richmond whose holder is a widower for the second time.

High Lights Trouble
 The English Gentlemen

London. Jan. 1o N-The rigor of morning dress presents more and more difficulties to the English gentleman. A solemn occasion at Westminster Abbey was almost mar red recently by tho lack of park ing space for high hats.
 Winston Churchill tried to push his hat uncercmoniously under chair but there was no room for if and he stood apprchensively in front of it as il rested on the ground. The Prince of Wales. on the con- tcary was particularly careful of his hat, which hc had 10 hold in the same hand as the slip of paper on which his brief message for the oc- casion was written. After the cere- mony he smoothed it's glistening surface with his hand.
 Stanley Baldwin, the prime min ister, wore fawn -colored gloves, and his were the only covered hands present Gloves for morning dress are dying out.

New York. Jan. Is R>-Joe Dun dee of Baltimore today renewed his challenge for the welterweight title in the after glow of a smashing triumph over Eddie Roberts of Ia coma, Wash.

 In those two sessions, Roberts fought himself out trying to dupli- cate his knockout triumph. During the remainder of the battle he was outpointed and outsmarted by the po1 ut ;e oL the nose and mouth and had him reeling near the end of the contest. The bell apparently saved the Ta- coma fighter from a knockout in the eighth.
 Ringside critics expressed the be- lief that Roberts had been weaken cd by making the welterweight lim- it of 147 pounds. He appeared drawn too fine. although he held a three pound advantage over Dun dee.

HORSE RACES ON ICE
Minneapolis Driving Club Sponsors Sport Two Months In Coldest Part of Winter.

Horse races on ice are held al Minneapolis for two months in the coldest part of winter.
 | The Minneapolis Driving club each
 year sponsors weekly harness races on a course laid out on Lake of the
 Isles in the heart of an exclusive residence district. Each Saturday afternoon a dozen or so of the best
 drivers in the twin cities brave temperatures as low as 20 below zero to participate in a purely anna teur version of the ancient horse racing pastime. Crowds of 5000 are not uncommon, says William Allen dorf, veteran club official.
 The races have been conducted for
 40 years and, according to NIT. AL lendorf. ice racing is no harder on horses than that on the regulation dirt tracks since the distance is cut to one-half mile and the racers are equipped with adjustable cork shoes. There is no slipping nor more spills than on dirt courses. The time is about the same.
