WHICH takes a little time to
wear off, but, which will, If
given time, eventually be for
gotten.
In baseball and golf and bas-
ketball and kindred excuses for
absence from home, one hears
and gets plenty Of razzing--
most of it is good-natured and
well-meant-in little of it there
is real cause for getting ones
back in the air, as they say of
All Of which may serve as a
sort of a prelude to what we
really have on our chest today.
We have been thinking about
that wise crack Mile. Suzanne
Lenglen passed about pretty
little Helen Wills, and if there
was any excuse for one lady
making such a comment about
another, then we've been asso-
ciating with the wrong sort of
polite company for more years
than we care to admit.
OF course we don't wish to be
a gossip, but if you didn't hear
what Suzanne said about our
Helen, then read, gentle crea-
lures, read:
What Suzanne said about
Helen was simply this:
Her hips are getting too big
Tor tennis playerp Or words
to that effect.
And what business, NAV we
ask, are Helen's hips of SUI
anne's? In the same breath
the bounding brunette takes ex-
ception to Walter Hagen's chin.
implying in very direct Ian
guage that Walter has twice as
many chils as nature intended.
Of course, neither Helen nor
Walter needs this humble effort
to defend them from the loose
chatter of anyone, saw nothing
OF a touring tennis toreadore
But what we mean to suggest
Is that if Vivacious suzanne
would keep what chin She has
as much out Of the affairs of
countrymen in whose land she
ls' it would be less noticeable
than the double appendage
which Hagen owns or the hins
which Helen has.
AS we understand the sex.
they have this prerogative of
pulling observations about one
another, and we guess it is in
nocent enough fun all right. But
one can't help thinking that in
that Suzanne is no Venus de
Milo herself in face, she has
little premise bemoaning the
figure of Helen, and if that be
catty remark, let's make the
most of it!

OF Horatio Alger in the story of
La Barba and his life. There's a
tale of inspiration, of courage and a
steadfast heart that the youth of
this country might read and broad
cast to the world with pride in
every tone and in every syllable.
La Barba had no fortune thrust
upon him. His early environment
was not one to inspire lofty
thoughts nor vaulting ambition. He
felt the grip Of poverty and knew
the pinch Of want. But instead Of
surrendering. he laughed and
brought the world to his knees.
He owns property now, this

Luck smiled for the first time on
Fidel La Barba when he walked

He came back pretty much the
same way from every knockdown,
leaving the impression that he
either has uncommon powers Of
recuperation or that he was a
natural born canvass-back. Either
way. he was just sap for a man
like La -Barba. 1 doubt if the Brit.
Usher landed more than one clean
punch per round while the left
handing he took was crime.
It started early. After feeling
his man out and finding that he

minute later, he was down again
from another right and this time it
looked like closed incident. But
the bell caught the referees arm on

Elky hence.
However, he was full of business

The bitter. 6-year-old feud between
Lands and Johnson reached a new
crisis after a two-year truce, with
the bursting of the Cobb Speaker
scandal. After johnson. criticized
the commissioner for his handling
of the case. and intimating that all
OF the story had not been told,
Lands summoned this special hear
ing, ostensibly to delve further into
the Cobb-Speaker affair. In reality,
the Monday hearing appears to be
nothing more than a setting for a
test of strength between Lands
and johnson.
The American League directorate
is composed of Clark Griffith, Wash.
ington; Tom Shibe, Philadelphia;
Frank .Navin, Detroit, and Phil
Ball, st. Louis. In addition to these
men, President Johnson has invited
Col. Jacob Rupert, of the Yankees.
and Bob Quinn, of the Boston Red
Sox, to attend the directors meeting.
Interest in Sundays session
Will center ON the attitude of
Colonel Rupert. His influence
has been a big factor in mould
ing the policies of baseball. He
has long been an ardent sup
porter Of Johnson. Will he con.
tinue that support or withdraw
it.?
The continued silence of tie feud-
lists keeps the nature OF their
powder" in the dark. Neither
Lands nor Johnson would discuss
any phase Of the impending battle
today.
Ty Cobb and Urls Speaker, both
of whom are now in Cleveland, are
reported in dispatches as. stating
they would attend the open session
here Monday, accompanied by their
attorneys. The vindication of Cobb
and Speaker is viewed by some as
a possibility at the Lands hearing.

However, the writer's reaction is
that they underestimate both La
Barba' punch and Elk's countenance.
When a man only has one asset
it usually is over-developed.
The boys who shouted Fidel's
victory down also overlooked several
other bets, one of them being the
fact that. La Barba injured his
right hand on the imported concrete
in. the early rounds. Another was
Clark's accepted ability to go the
route. He was brought UP on a
20-round diet and was stronger in
the twelfth than he was in the
second.
Still. if it hadn't been for the
inopportune bell that ended the
third round with Elky flat on his
shoulder blades there would have
been no twelfth round and. in con-
sequence. no Elky. He was down
to stay that time, anyhow.
