SCHOLARSHIP IS NOT CRITERION FOR LEADERSHIP, SAYS
 EDUCATOR

Many men and women who are in ar"Mlaj in directing world affairs have not rated high as students, Dr. Klein d1clares.
 Continued selecuion of superior and gifted students by colleges and in versailles is not likely to result in q n.ornoly by their graduates of ,n" intellectual and directive pur- suits of the nation" it was said by the Chief of the Division of Higher Education, Dr Arthur I.

NEW YORK, March 21,-They
didn't raise sIow-thinking children
in the Tunney homestead. The
most prominent Of the family. Gene,
demonstrated that fact yesterday
when be slipped q fast one over On
the New York State Boxing Com
mission. 7t took three commits
sioners to figure out crossword
puzzle order to the champion. but
Gene fooled them with an equally
vague reply.
The commission decided that 1t
did not want to take any more
chances OF driving the champion
into Pennsylvania or Illinois, and
sent Gene a wire to the effect that
he had been challenged BY Jack
Sharkey, Tom Heeney and Johnny
Risko. They also informed the
champion that his six months Of
grace was up, and that he must
defend his title or stand barred n
this State.
Mr.. Tunney had the answer
to that one and tossed the
Dukes into huddle to think It
over. Tunney Is going to accept
all three challenges and let 1t
go at that.
When the commissioners want to
know when Gene ID going TO tight
one of the trio. the champion viii
inquire as to just who is'' going to
promote the contest and make It
worth while for him to fight. Even
the Dukes can't make promoter
stage fight and neither can they
tell a man how much his services
are worth. There will be some
interesting moments when the com.
missioners begin telling Tunney to
fight for lunch money.
By accepting all three cIaI-
lenges Tunney has fixed things
up just as he wants them. He
will have complied with the law
and any time the commission
digs up a gate worthy Of his
notice he will be ready for busi-
ness.

ruling yesterday. Jess Mcmahon,

bit worried by the edict or by Tun-
ney's acceptance of all three chal-
lenges. He has the champion tied

and the commission can't make him

AND CLUB
ARE At ODDS

Allie Watt, second-sacker and
product of the local sandlots, is at
odds with the Richmond club Of the
Virginia State League. Allie is the
property of the Richmond club, but
wants to obtain his release. Last
year, Allie piloted the Raleigh club
to a championship in the Piedmont
League. Raleigh is owned by the
Richmond interests.
The erstwhile District flash was
sold to Richmond by Jack Dunn of
the Baltimore Orioles, who by some
means had obtained him from
Reading of the International
League. Reporting to Richmond,
Watt had his choice of playing
second base with the Colts or man.
aging Raleigh. He chose the latter
position.
Picked off the sandIOts here
in 1920, he was taken South by
the Griffmen. He was deficient
in several qualities and was
shunted to Portsmouth. of the
Virginia State League, where
he played opposite Pie TraynOr,
now with the Pirates. Ports
mouth won the championship
that year.
Returning to Washington in 1921,
he was once again farmed. Late in
the season the Nationals cut their
strings on him when they pur.
chased Goose Goslin from Columbia
of the South Atlantic League.
Watt, Pitcher Turk and some cash
were handed over to Columbia in
exchange for Goslin.
Afterwards Watt advanced to
Reading, where he remained until
his sale to Richmond. He is mar
ried now and makes his home in

Much is ultimately expected, too,
from Fred Russell, the Wichita Falls

with their pitching.
Earl Smith and Johnny Gooch are
back to do the catching. This means
that they are satisfactory to Bush,

Glenn Wright and Pie TraynOr,
