Christy declares that sports
are thriving out yonder, particu-
larly9 outdoor sports, which have
q 12-month sway. With colleges
of the caliber of the two Cali
fornias and Leland Stanford,
Mr.. Walsh finds football and
track athletics equal in intensity
to the better universities of
the East. The Pacific Coast
League, he finds, has some of
the best young players and those
not so young, to be found, al
though he had to admit there
are. no Walter Johnsons, Iris
Speakers, Ty Cobbs, or Stanley
Coveleskies in the league.
William Wrigley's $4,000
Catalina Island swim put a stiff
stimulus in swimming, so much
SO that two others, Henry Sui
Ivan and Mrs. Schoemmel,
equaled the feat of George Young
within five weeks after he had
crossed the treacherous strip
under his own power for the
first time by any human. Just
as, so many others succeeded in
the English Channel attempt on
the very heels of Gertrude
Ederle, so was the Catalina
Channel conquered by others just
as soon as it was shown not to
be impossible. The impression
gathered from our informant
seemed to indicate that channel
crossing will be a popular
pastime from now on, wherever
there is one to be negotiated.
But the thing we wished
mostly to find out about sports
on the Pacific Coast, that con-
corning the future Of Jack
Dempsey, was not available, at
least through Mr.. Walsh. His
theory is that Dempsey himself
is not sure of his course, so
far as the ring is concerned,
and that time alone will tell
when and if Jack Dempsey
draws on another glove for
strictly non-social purposes.
It isn't hard to understand
Dempsey's attitude toward the
palookas in Richards elimina-
ton series, but it does seem
possible for Dempsey to declare
himself out of the game or still
in it. We believe he is exer-
cising his professional preroga-
tive of acting just a bit cagey
just bit too cagey to pro-
mote the popularity with which
he left the ring in Philadelphia.
He is of the old school of rough
and ready fighters and it does
not become him to avoid or
evade an issue.
The quickest way to smoke
Dempsey out of his tree is to
forget all about him. In keep
ing with the company he keeps,
he likes to see his name in the
paper. If he were dropped cold
for about three months, he'd
give the boys something to print
and it'd be. darn sight more
definite than anything he's ut
tered in the last five months.

Christy Walsh, who has more
to do with the business affairs
of Babe Ruth than most people
suspect, dropped into Washing
ton with his samples of news
features and had much to say
for the Pacific coast, where he
wintered with his 200-pound
mastodon while the latter was
fitting in front of the flicker
films.

Undoubtedly the most important
phase of golf. and at the same time
the most universally neglected, is
the putt.
Putting has nothing of the spec.
tacular about it; nothing to enthuse
over unless one is able to run down
a 15-or-20-footer and then a thrill
envelopes you.

WHEELER REVIEWS
FIGHT ON KELLOGG
Wants Probe of News Story
Charging Mexico Fosters
BoIshevist Propaganda.

BY the Associated Press.
Renewing his attack on Secretary
Kellogg, Senator Wheeler, Democrat
Montana, yesterday urged the foreign
relations committee to investigate
whether the State Department was
the source of the Associated Press
dispatch of November II saying that
the specter of a MeXican-fostered
hoishevist hegemOny intervening be
tween the United States and the
Panama Canal has thrust itself into
Mexican relations.
Reading to the Senate the recent
statement of Secretary Kellogg on the
subject. the Montana Senator asked
the committee to call before 1t the
Secretary of State and then to sum
mon the representatives of the Asso-
ciated Press, the International News
Service and the United Press Ito get
their versions of the story"
IF it is true" Senator Wheeler said,
that Mr.. Kellogg has been giving
out, or the Department of State mas
been giving out, loose statements, ana
asking that that kind Of statements
be circulated throughout the length
and breadth of this country for the
purpose of stirring up the people of
this country to point where they
would want to break relations with a
friendly country, then the people Oh
this country are entitled to know II,
and ought to know it, and II 1t is
true. Mr.. Kellogg should not remain
as Secretary Of State"
Questions Asked Kellogg.
Secretary Kellogg's statement to
which Senator Wheeler referred was
transmitted last Monday to the House
foreign affairs committee in response
to a resolution by Representative La
Guardia, Republican, New YORK, ask
ing these questions; did the State
Department, through any of its DIN
GERS, on or before the 10th day OF NO
vember, 1926, request or suggest to
the representatives of the Associated
Press, United Press and the Interna-
tional News Service to send state
ment or news item to their respective
members concerning internal condl-
tons in Mexico and alleged relations
between Mexico and Moscow?
did the Department of State,
through any of it's officials, on or
about the 10th day of November make
any statement to the representatives
of the Associated Press, United Press
and International News Service con
corning Mexico and request said news
associations not to reveal the source
of information?"
In replying, Mr.. Kellogg combined
these two questions in one and an
swered in the negative that the State
Department nor any of its officers had
ION or about the 10th day of Novem-
Der, 1926, sought to use the various
news agencies to put out information
or conclusions in regard to Mexico
without assuming official responsible
ity therefor
