Food Versus Expense

: 1t is fortunate thing that the value of food is
not in direct proportion to its cost. If this were
true then only the rich could exist. But we find
that even the cheapest of foods have high value.
The problem is to bring these foods to the atten-
ton of the poorer classes of people who must live
at small expense For this nutrition classes

LIFTS
GRIFFO'S HAND
FOR LAST TIME
Famous Featherweight of An.
other Generation Dies Sud.
denly in New York

New York, Dec. 7.-(R-Alfred
Griffith. IS, known to fight fans Of
IS years ago a. Young Critic, died
suddenly early today in q basement
room on the west side, where he had
lived for several years. In the abb
sence Of report by the medical ex-
aminer, acute indigestion was be.
lieved the cause Of his death.
He came to this country from
Australia and first fought as a
featherweight, later moving up to
the lightweight class. his NEST
noted ring engagements were
against George Dixon, Jack Nc
Auliffe and Kid Lavigne.
He was known as one Of the
cleverest defensive boxers in the
world. He used to wager that he
could stand upon a handkerchief
and no one could hit Him in the face.
Another wager he used to win was
to bet that no one could knock
cigar out Of his mouth.
Loses Fortune
Fortune turned its back on the
once famous fighter in recent years.
He earned a livelihood peddling pa
pers and doing odd jobs. He was
often seen in the doorways near the
bright light district recounting
glories Of bygone years. He had
taken on weight and tipped the
scales at 200 pounds.
Mrs. Rose Collins, who had pro-
vided him with living quarters for
the last IL years without charge,
said that he. returned hope about
midnight last night as was his usual
custom. Shortly before 2 o'clock
this morning, she said, he knocked
on the door Of the kitchen.
When she asked him what was
the matter, he said:
I'm choking. I'm sick"
He collapsed in the hallway and
died soon afterwards.
Close Friend Of Collins
Mrs. Collins, the widow OF
former saloon keeper, said the
fighter was 2 close friend Of her
late husband. Their acquaintance,
she said, dated from the time Crit
70, then in the heyday Of his fight
ing career entered Collins west side
saloon, dropped q handkerchief on
the floor, stood on it and offered to
"buy drinks for the house," if any
one could land q punch on him.
None was able to hit him.
About IL years ago, after her
husband had retired. she said. Crit
70, then in Strengthened circum-
stances, came to their homo to live.
When the police went to Critics
room to gather his possession, they
found that they consisted Of only
the clothes he had worn the day be-
fore. :.
Mrs. Collins said that unless his
friends raised fund to pay his fun.
eral he would undoubtedly be buried
in potters field, as she could not
afford to pay the expenses OF the
funeral.

State and National Boxing Or

New York, Dec. 7.-tP)-Who's the
champion 3? 1t depends on whc:: state
you're in nowadays before that ques-
ton may be settled in no fewer than
four Of the main boxing divisions.
At no previous time in ri. g his
tory has there been as .-.uch dispute

and national boxing organizations
have made or Opposed professional
ring rulers through a variety of
processes. Local pride ant ring pol

The causes of this fistic Juror are
traced from the act that Fidel La

champion, decided to give up his
worlds title and go to college; that
Charley (PhiD Rosenberg lost the
bantam crown on the scales and
drew official disfavor upon himself:
that Johnny Dundee and then Kid

WHO'S THE CHAMPION? TDEPENDS
ON WHAT STATE YOU'RE IN TODAY

up claims for Labarba's vacated
championship. In Labarba's own
state, California, title recognition
has been given to Johnny Mccoy of
Ell Paso, Texas, after an "elimina-
ton tournament" Willie Davies is
the Pennsylvania flyweight king.
frankie Genaro, one-time American
champion. is out with revived title
hopes. Newsby Brown Of Sic x
City and Corporal Ivy Schwartz are
formidable contenders.
The battle to establish feather
weight title claims became so hot
that it broke up the friendship and
working agreement between the
New York and Pennsylvania king
commissions. Pennsylvania placed
the crown on the thatch Of Benny
Bass and insisted that New York
recognize him but Gotham refused
to do so without Benny first being
tested against Tony Canzoneri.
Taylor Recognized
Bud Taylor is recognized BY the
National Boxing Association as
bantamweight champion but New
York has never put its stamp Of
approval on him. Otherwise there
isn't much, if any dou.t that the
Terre Haute scrapper is entitled :,
The top place.
New York and Pennsylvania agree
that the lioht heavywei> title be-
longs to Tommy Loughran, a., a re-
suit Of his defeat of Nike McTigue,
but the National Boxing 4-ssocia-
ton considers Jimmy Slattery the
ruler Of the 175-polnders. The \.
B. a. conducted two-nal ''e,imina-
lion" and awarded recognition to
Slattery for def-. ting Maxey Rosen-
bloom. McTigue, before meeting
Loughran, hac. been the beneficiary
of Delaney's crown, through de-
cision Of the New York boxing
powers.

SOLUTION OF
DUAL BOXING
TITLES SEEN
Tourney Is Favored by Presi'
dent of National Boxing
Association

New London, Conn.,, Dec. 7.-F-
A probable solution to the dual box
ing championship system was fore
cast today by Thomas f. Donohue,
of New London, president of the Ma
tional Boxing association. He said
that for the present he would favor
championship elimination contest
whereby the holder of the N. B. A.
title would meet the New York ath-
letic commissions champion for the
worlds title in the respective di-
visions.
Donohuc's suggestion will be
given a tryout Monday night at
Madison Square Garden, when JIM
my Slattery, Of Buffalo. the N. B. A..
light heavyweight champion, will
meet Tommy Loughran, of Philadel-
phia, recognized New York title
holder for the worlds light heavy
weight title.
Lomski Recognized
The winner of the Slattery-
Loughran match is scheduled to
meet Leo Lomski, of Aberdeen,
WASH. whom both the N. B. A. and
NEW OIh dUIuVIltItS ITCO6uILC as
the logical light heavyweight con-
tender.
The N. B. A. also has plan to
clean up the flyweight champion
ship title. Ernie Jarvis, tie Eng
lish flywcight champion, has been
matched to meet French Belanger
of Toronto, in a 12-round bout for
N. B. A. worlds flyweight cham
pionship in Toronto on December 1G.
The winner Of the Jarvis Belanger
scrap will meet frankie Genaro Of
New York city.
The eventual winner of the N. B.
A. flyweight tourney Vil be sent
against the winner of the Corporal
Icy Schwartz and Newsbo-. Brown
battle for the worlds flyweight
crown. The Schwartz-Brown bout
is being sponsored by the New York
commission and is also scheduled

abaoo Caused in Two Sections by Football Scouts Agreement
DEALS
RULE COME
UP FOR TALK
Major. Min or Agreement
Causes Complaints and
Threatens Rupture

Dallas, Texas, Dec. 7.-N-Rec-
concentrations for revision Of rules
governing player deals and a sug-
gestion for Redistribution of minor
circuits today occupied delegates
to the convention Of the National
Association of Professional Base
ball Leagues here.
The recommendation were adj
vanced at the initial session of the
convention yesterday by President
Mike H. Sexton, who also criticized
activities Of major leagues.
President Sexton found that after
seven years of operation, the major
minor agreement caused more or
less widespread complaint from
both parties. He urged an effort be
made to eliminate Objectionable fea-
lures before all open rupture re-
suited.
Recognize Commissioner
The agreement provides that the
minor leagues recognize the office
Of commissioner as created by the
major leagues and submit them
selves to his jurisdiction. The
agreement also provides a schedule
for promotion and selection Of play
ers, ranging from $1,000 for Class
D to $4,000 for Class IA.
In his criticism of major league
scouting activities, Mr.. Sexton de-
clared the present indiscriminate
and far-reaching signing of young
players had proved a serious hand
leap to the minors. He said he be-
lieved the source of supply from
colleges and sand lots, would be
destroyed until some sort of pro-
tective measures were adopted.

Mickey Meets MeTigue
Then it came out Walker wa.

McTigue and the boys felt certain
their good dope would hold up

But the little man surprised ani
sent Aud Mike out in less than 3
round and Mr.. Pandemonium ha.
been with US ever since. He. fol.
lowed this up with decisive wir
over Paul Berlenbach. Thus inside
Of month Walker has defeated two
former light heavyweight cham
pions.
Also the gang on the corner j,
now not so sure Of Walkers earl,

say maybe Mickey is another Boil

is no reason to believe Mickey Is no

Another thing to. consider Is til
