1NsULAR AFFAIRS DECIDED

WASHINGTON Nov. [R-Presi-
dent Coolidge has reached no decision
on suggestion that he transfer
supervision of insular affairs to a
civil bureau in the department of tho
interior, and while he once felt that
the Philippines might pe administered
better by the interior department, he
inclines to the conclusion that it
probably would be better to leave
this administration with the war de-
partment.

Ruth's All Star Team

Every year Babe Ruth picks an
ail-America baseball team. In reality
this team is selected by a number
of the leading baseball writer's and
then approved by Ruth.
That the professional ball player
has his vain moments as we'll as the
collegian is proved by the way the
big league stars look forward to the
Naming of Ruth'S team.
1t seems the sports writer's were
unable to agree on who was the
best catcher in the American league
1t was all even between Mickey
Cochralle of the Athletics, Muddy
Ruel of Washington and Luke Sewell
Iof Cleveland
When the lineup finally appeared,
Ruel who had been picked for the
1926 team, was again honored by
being awarded the position Of catcher.
1t is said that s:nce the writer's
were unable to agree, Ruth, himself,
named RueI as the best of the trio
of stars.

ONE BATTLEAYEAR
ENOUGH FOR TUNNEy

Gene Tunney has disproved the
theory that a boxer must get in two
or three fights a year to retain his Ell
fectiyeness. His showing against
Jack Dempsey was a revelation.
1t must be remembered that Gene
has fought but 20 rounds In the past
two years. It was one year lacking a
day since he fought and won the title
from Dempsey in Philadelphia. It only
goes to prove that a boxer Of his type
can lay off from actual combat without
undue harm.
Sane, sensible living and close ap-
plication to his practice speaks
volumes for his methods.
A fighter Of the slugger type like
Jack Dempsey needs to have few
fights under his belt before he can
show at his best. Last year Jack's 4
showing was pitiful. This year a
course Of hard training sprouts and
seven rounds Of hard fighting with
Jack Sharkey fitted him for the task
before him.
In this era of limited contests it
behooves the slugger to be in shape to
carry fight to the boxer, hitting out
hard and fast without let-up. II .he
cannot do that, the boxer will bide
his time. pick his spots and win with
out taking a chance of being hurt.
Tunney may be an exception to the
rule. 1t would not do for others to
follow his example Careful training
means a lot to a fighter and this, after
! all, is the secret Of Tunney's success.

FIGHT CROWD SHOWN
TO BE ONLY 145,000

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 28.--Echoes
of the Tunney-Dempsey fight began
to die away here today, with the chief
actors in the spectacle gone from the
scene and the fistic rulers standing
complacently behind the original de-
cision giving Gene Tunney the fight.
Jack Dempsey's statement, when he
arrived in New York, that he did not
receive instructions to retreat across
the ring after scoring a knockdown
brought only brief repetition from
Referee Dave Barry that such instruc-
tions were repeated to both fighters
just before the battle Of Soldier Field
began last Thursday night.
Lacking the promised protest from
Dempsey and Manager Leo P. Flynn,
the Illinois State Athletic Commission
issued long official statement detail

the fight.

enue Bureau as totaling 162,450 paid
admissions, was put back at the orig
inal figure Of 1000 by Mrs. Mabel
Reinecke, collector Of internal rev.
enue here. after a final check. It
also was announced that Tunney's g
purse was 100000 and Dempsey's
$437,500. both a reduction from the
figures they would have received from
Richards hoped-for 100000 gate.
The official receipts, Mrs. Reinecke
said, were 50 2,65S,660.
Sports leaders here were almost
unanimous today in support Of the
boxing law amendment proposed by
Mayor Thompson to lengthen cham
pionship bouts to Is rounds. The out
standing exception was Promoter Jim
Mullen. who said he would rather see
10 rounds full of action than IL
rounds Of slow fighting finished up
by three rounds Of real battling.

4 4 remedy is a teams strength,
and that is frequently INSULT
Client to hold up the morale.
Injuries come at the most unex.
pected moments, and If a star player
is put on the shelf the entire team
is bound to suffer until substitute
is able to prove his ability to do the
stars work.
During the last three years several
unusual accidents occurred, and in
some cases these accidents not alone
spoiled the record of the victim. but
proved n severe blow to the team
causing a mental hazard
Three years ago Joe Hauser Of the
Athletics was regarded as one Of the
great first basemen, a logical success
sor to Stuffy McInniS. Then. sudden
ly, Hauser became the victim of a
freakish accident. He stretched his
legs to snatch wide throw and he
pulled up lame. Medical examination
showed that the knee cap had cracked
A serious operation resulted. The
knee cap was wired together and
Hauser was out for a year Then,
Wnen connie MICK lrleu TO pay
Hauser again, he discovered that the
accident had not only robbed Hauser
of fielding ability but Of batting talent
as well. He could neither field nor
hit
1t was a costly accident. The
Athletics at that time were reaching
a high peak in reconstruction, with
Hauser one of the formidable cogs.
Hauser was capable Of winning from
IL to Is games each season with his
terrific hitting. The accident halted
his big league career.
Evening star., 1927-09-28

Ike Davis, then playing short for
the Chicago White Sox and considered
a great star in the making, went
after a. Texas Lacquer one afternoon
about year after Hauser met his
accident, and Davis suffered a similar
one. His knee cap was split.
Three years ago George Sisler was
suddenly forced to quit because his
sight failed him. When he dropped
out of the lineup he cost his team
pennant, as the Browns had only
few more to win to land the cham
pionship. Sisler was obliged to stay
out of base ball more than year,
and the Browns drifted along ike a
ship without a rudder.
Eddie Collins failed to close his
fingers on a hot grounder, and in an
effort to recover the ball, which
nestled between his feet, he stepped on
it and injured his ankle so badly he
had to stay out OF the game the re-
mainder of the season. During his
absence his team, which had had an
excellent chance for the pennant,
dropped to the second division. Col
Inns never fully recovered. The in
Jury still affects his fielding and base
running, and cut at least two years
off his career.
Jack Tavener, shortstop for the
Tigers, furnished the leading freak
accident of the current season. Tav-
ener, trying to chip some ice in a
refrigerator, suddenly gripped the
knife blade with the index finger Of
his right hand and sustained a deep
cut in the second joint. In six days
the cut had healed, but the finger was
partly stiff, presumably because a
tendon had been cut. Tavener could
not grip ball in throwing and he
had to stay on the bench, missing
more than a month Of play at time
when his batting and fielding were
sore1v needed
