TN this respect, the rule, has
worked out fine. 1t has kept
the teams with a chance on
their toes while the clubs outside of
the money seem to get keen de-
light in knocking the others off.
However, in another way, the rule
has worked to the detriment of the
best interests of the game. 1t has,
in a sense, retarded the chances and
development of the rockies. Since
baseball is sadly in need of new ma
terial of merit, that angle is I'M
fortunate.
In the old days, when only the
pennant-winning clubs had any in
terest in the gate receipts, the mo-
ment club was automatically out
Of the race for the flag, it began to
experiment with most of the talent
the scouts had picked up during the
summer.
1t was not az all unusual for clubs
to present an entirely new lineup
during the month of September.
The veteran stars, whose ability was
well known to the manager, would
be permitted to sit on the bench,
while the unknown, promising rock
les would get a chance to perform.
This system had two distinct
advantages. First, it gave the
clubs a chance to get 81 pretty
good line on the minor league ma
terial purchased, and second, it
provided the fans with new faces,
thereby keeping up interest.
T1OW it's different. Even if a
IN club is definitely out of the
Ill race for first place but has a
chance to finish in the first divis-
ion, the rockies are just out of luck.
Rather than throw in bunch of
youngsters, who might jeopardize
the chances of finishing in the
money, the manager of the clubs
having such a chance, stick to their
-Ssteran lineup, while the recruits
who have reported sit around Tor
month or less, as spectators.
OF course, the new players are
looked over in morning practice, but
after all there is no way one can get
better line on a players real value
than seeing him perform in actual
competition.
The Washington club is one of the
, few in recent years that is expert
menting with some of the young
sters on hand. Regardless of what
effect it may have on where the
club finishes, Manager Bucky Har-
ris is throwing some of his promis-
ing young infielders into the lineup.
Drastic action is needed in the
American League on this score. If
the reign of the New York Yank-
ees Is to be halted, number of
clubs must start rebuilding at
once.

Political Pull"

81 was told" it continued, some
body with some sort of political
power-or power in boxing affairs
lin Philadelphia-was going to see
to it referee and ,one of the
judges would be in there to assist
you; if we were both on our feet at
the end of the tenth, I'd lose the
decision"
The letter fastened to say that
last-minute shift in referees had
put Tommy Reilly in as the third
man.
IT never fought with man in
the ring better or cleaner than
Reilly" the letter said. "You
(Tunney) whipped me fairly and
squarely that night. I'll give you
credit for giving me the worst
beating anybody ever handed me in
my lifetime. But since I've wondered
what would have happened if 1 had
decisively outpointed you and if the
first referee I heard named as
the official for~that fight had been
in there"
Clause In Contract
The letter referred to alleged con-
ferences between Tunney, Alb Attell,
gambler, and Gibson, Tunney's man.
ager, and took up the al
legged contract involving Hoff, Glib
son and yourself" The document,
the letter said, STATED in substance,
Gibson borrowed $4,000 from
Make Hoff, and that Gibson agreed
to pay the $4,000 and nothing else
if you did not win the fight. But
it contained peculiar clause to the
effect if you won the fight, Gibson
was to pay back Hoff $4,000 and,
as sort of bonus or something like
that, that you we're to give Hoff 20
per cent of all your earnings as
champion. Can't we have a little
explanation about this?"
Tunney's reply, in full, was:
my Dear Dempsey:
Your so-called open letter to me
was brought to my attention. While
my reaction is to ignore it and it's
evident trash completely, yet I can
not resist saying 1 consider it very
cheap appeal for public sympathy.
Do you think this sportsmanlike?"

RESOLUTION

Whereas the Almighty power that
rules this universe, has called from
our midst, through death, our dearly
beloved and highly esteemed neigh
Dor and friend, John M. Anderson;
And whereas our departed brother
for twenty-five years has been a 10y
al and true Woodman and an efficient
and trusty officer of our camp, as
well as good neighbor, true friend
true and devoted husband and
father, and an upright, honorable and
valued citizen of his community and
his country;
And whereas we as his brother
Woodman, his friends and fellow citi-
zens deeply mourn his untimely death
and keenly miss his presence at our
gatherings and his voice in our coun-
ellis;
Be it therefore resolved by the
members of the Nickerson Camp No.
4239, Modern Woodmen of America,
in regular meeting assembled, that
we extend our fraternal love and
sympathy to the Borrowing and be-
reaved wife and fatherless children,
and that we will, as far as it lays
in our power, comfort them in their
sorrow and cherish the memory of
the departed forevermore.
Be it further resolved that this res
olution be inscribed on the minutes
of our camp and that a copy of same
be presented to our departed brothers
family.
This resolution was unanimously
adopted at regular meeting of our
camp this 21st day of June, 1927.
