Why Are Newspapers
Called the Fourth Estate

The daily press is called the Fourth
Estate because of its great influence
in government and public affairs. In
England, as well as France, the
church, the nobility and the common
people were called the three estates
of the realm. Who first described
the press as the fourth estate is a dis
puted question. In Heroes and He
no Worship" Thomas Carlyle says
Burke said there were Three Es-
tates in Parliament; but, in the Re-
porters' Gallery yonder, there sat a
Fourth Estate more important far
than they ALL"

The Ideal Age For A Happy Marriage
For A Young Woman?

Ideal age for marriage for the
bride is "a years, years above or
below making no material difference.
Marriages in which the bride is under
81 and the groom under "a, become
rapidly more dangerous as younger
ages are considered. 1t may be safe
ly stated that the boy or girl under
81 has not had sufficient experience
to select mate with whom success
full home can be established and that
postponement of the marriage until
the woman is % and the man "a
would be an extremely important
preventive of domestic disaster.
While there are many happy mar
riages above and below the ideal
ages, they are the exception.

 CLEARED PLAYERS
Washington and St. Louis Seek
 ing Speaker and Iy Cobb

Chicago, Jan. 29 CP-Washingto
 and St. Louis appear today to have the lead in the contest for the serv- ices of Iris Speaker and Ty Cobb.
 Clark Griffith of the Senator de- clared at Tampa that Speaker promised him to give first considera- ton to Washington contract, while St. Louis so far has made the most energetic attempt to land Ty Cobb.
 The provisions of the waiver rule, as far as American league clubs priorities is concerned, have been laid aside to permit these two stars to sign wherever they wish, William Harridge, secretary to Ban Johnson and acting guardian of the league executive offices said today.
 There is no chance, however, that any National league club will be al- lowed to sign them, so long as any American leaguers desire their serv- ices. With no price tags attached to their contracts by their original club owners. the two slugging out fielders are expected to conclude profitable terms for themselves.
 Griffith declined to reveal the amount of his offer to Speaker, but after a telephone conversation with the latter at Philadelphia, he an- nounced that the former Cleveland manager had promised to writ him concerning his proposal and that he

OUTSTANDING EATERS
Two Right-Handcd Eaters Stand Out Among Batting Champions in National League.

New York, Jan. 29-In the more than 50 years that the National league has been doing business at the old stand, two right handed bat ters stand out among the list of bat ting champions.
 It is almost unnecessary to say those two gentlemen are Rogers Hornsby, recently traded by St. Louis to New York and Hans Wagner, who played his last game for the Pitts burgh Pirates.
 Until the coming of Rogers Horns by, Wagner was supreme not only among the right flanders but those who hit from the. left side of the plate as well.
 Eight batting championships are credited to Wagner, four of them in succession, while his best average during his career was .3S0. which was made the first year he led the league. 1900.
 Rogers Hornsby, after winning six successive crowns, was stopped last season.

 INTO TOURNAMENT
Fighting Irishman Scores Kayo
 Over Berlenbach in Fourth

New York. Jan. 2s LP-Mike Me- Tigue. of Ireland. today with re- juvenated fists on the portals that lead to Tex Richards heavyweight elimination tournament
 In a thrilling four round victory, as colorful as the flaming red trunks he wore, the former king of the light heavyweights brigade, last night belted into submission Paul Berlen- bach, the man who once stripped him of the title. McTigue was credit ed with technical knockout when the referee waved him away from the bleeding and helpless Astoria Assassin" after two minutes and 43 seconds of fighting in the session.
 Throwing caution to the four corners of Madison Square Garden, McTigue, heretofore a cautious fight CT. although superlative boxer. ripped into Berlenbach from the tap of the opening gong. Long overland rights and tearing uppercuts smash ed against Berlenbach's chin as the 36 year old veteran craftily blocked every attempt of his opponent to score with his terrific left hook.
 Berlenbach, one of the most feared fighters in any division, plainly show ed the effects of his six-month lay- off from the ring as McTigue smoth- cred him at close range and whipped that slashing right hand to the head at every opening. Berlenbach wilt ing steadily under that fire, could neither time his punches nor sum- mon back the footwork he showed as champion.
 The crowd of 1s,ooo, viewing for the first time the real fighting man in McTigue, shouted encouragement as he hammered "Oom Paul' in the first and second rounds, roared in approval when Berlenbach went down for the first time in the third round. and turned the garden into bedlam with their frantic cheering as the Dublin slasher whipped him from that point until the end. Berlenbach, down three times in the final session, was out on his feet, his face streaming blood, when Referee Mcfarland choked off Mo- Tigue's fire.
 II guess that puts me in Richards the victor said as he from the ring. The result Berlenbach from con- sideration among the heavyweights and while showing McTigue into the in that class, also placed him in the front rank of contenders, with JGmmy Loughren, of Philadel- phia, Toy Jack Delaney's light heavy weight title.
 The only black mark now remain ing on McTigue's record, with the stain of his title loss to Berlenbach h 1925, removed last night, is four round knockout scored by Jack De- aney. Berlenbach, who has lost only four fights in his professional career has been knocked out twice. He also felt Delaney's finishing punch in four rounds.
 Although weighing but 169 pounds McTigue announced that he would seek honors in the heavyweight class if he were successful last night. The result may give him an opportunity to wipe out the Delaney stain while battling at the same time for the chance to meet Gene Tunney next September.

MADE RAPID RISE
Taylor Douthit, Outfieldcr of St. Louis Cardinals, Became Star Tn Three Seasons.

St. Louis, Jan. 29 - Few of the highly-touted spring baseball phen- oms stick in the majors. Outfelder Taylor Douthit of the St. Louis Car dinals is one of the exceptions.
 "A second Iris Speaker" is what the experts wrote of Douthit two years ago when they looked the youngster over in spring training. He Is coming mighty close to living up to that reputation.
 Douthit was secured by the Car dinals in the spring of 1924 from the University of California, Two years in the minors for seasoning and he returned ready to win regular berth. He at once displaced Heinie Mueller, the Cards center fielder.
 His Judgment is Speakeresque in every phase of his play. He gets his ball on perfectly-timed journey.

JUST MISS HONORS
Six Eaters in American League Failed to Enter 300 Class by Just One Point.

Chicago, Jan. 29-Being regarded as 300 batsman is perhaps the very best compliment a big league regular can enjoy. It is considered the select circle of hitters.
 One of the biggest disappoint- ments in baseball is to fail to reach ones goal by the slightest of mar gins. It hurts far more to miss ones objective by a point rather than being 25 away.
 The American league averages of 1926 reveal the interesting and un- usual fact that six American league regulars failed to reach the coveted mark by a single point. They were Sheely of Chicago. Flagstead and Jacobson of Boston, Ruel of Wash ington, Combs of New York and Jamieson of Cleveland.

Minneapolis. Jan. 29.-"Is there no justice in the world?" vail the high brows as they read that Gene Tunney Is to receive close to a mill lion dollars the next time he de- fends his heavyweight title.
 Noted scientists, college educators, medical experts and the like spend years and years in sacrifice for the good of mankind and receive in re- turn miserly pittance compared to the figures Gene Tunney can de- mand.
 The question, thoroughly discussed from the viewpoint of educators and others, recently was put to Gene Tunney, one of the persons most vitally concerned.
 Don't you feel that you and other heavyweight boxing champions have been overpaid in the past?" Tun- ney was asked.
 Possibly so," came Boxer-Philo- sopher Tunney's surprise answer. Tt doesn't seem right, but don't know that I or any other heavy weight champion can rightly be blamed"
 ITO what do you attribute the un- usual condition where a heavyweight champion can get almost million dollars for from 10 to IS rounds of fighting or boxing?"
 Tunney deliberated for some time on that one. Then, very slowly, as if picking his words. he replied:
 Its a reflection on our civiliza- ton and on economic conditions.
 Tt doesn't seem fair that some of our greatest intellects, who have given so much in the way of service and knowledge, should be paid in some cases not m 0re than s5,o00 per year for their talents.
 T personally know of one of the greatest pathologists in the country, whose services to mankind cannot be reckoned in dollars and cents, who has an annual salary of sS.500.
 T know professors in mathe- matics and other sciences in some of our leading universities who do not receive more than $5,000 per year.
 Yet for my next engagement in defense of my title I may draw down as much as sS00,000.
 Champion boxers are not to blame entirely for this condition. I believe that If can attract a two million dollar gate I have earned my share, whatever 1t may be.
 Since the public is willing to pay and pay, I would be foolish not to accept.
 But why pick on the champion fighters to prove there is no justice in the world?
 Take the actors and actresses appearing in the movies today. I understand it Is not unusual for Charley Chaplin or Harold Lloyd to receive as much as a million dol lars in salary and royalties from film that is big hit.
 Many of those stars have no bet ter foundation in an intellectual way than most of the fighters who are drawing down fat purses. When a boxer gets big money, protests go up from every quarter.
 Don't blame the champions en- tirely for this frenzied finance in sport. Look into our economic con- ditions for the answer"
