BRITISH CHAMP
TAKES DECISION
FROM BEL
By FRANK GETTY

NEW YORK, March 2O.-Phil
Scott, the London fire laddic, was
back among the vertical heavy
weight contenders today as the re
suit of a 10 round victory over
Pierre Charles, Belgian champion,
at the st. Nicholas arena here last
night.
The elongated British heavy
weight defeated his game husky
opponent in convincing fashion and
started once more up the long road
which he hopes will bring him even
tually to a battle for the champion
ship.
Scott had to get up from the cam
vas after a two-sccond knockdown
in the third round, but from then
on he administered a severe beating
to the awkward, plunging Belgian.
The fight was as good or better
than those which Tex Rickard has
been conducting under the guse of
an elimination tournament and fans
received their moneys worth which
is more than can be said for Rick
ard IS recent customers.
Scott has little chance of spenc-
trating the inner circle of heavy
weight contcndcrs this year, how
ever, for Charles was too crude to
provide a real test for the English
man. Pills next bout probably
will be with Benny Touchstone of
Florida.
Charles won the hearts of the
fight fans by his courageous per
sistence in the face of superior box
ing. 1t was the Belgian's 2jth
birthday but his hopes of welcome
present were unfulfilled. He will
make trouble for some of the better
known heavywcights before he is

Superior. Wis. July 1s (UP)-Re. ports that President Coolidge ex- pressed concern over the health of Herbert Hoover were explained here today as being only caution to Hoover to preserve his health as his best campaign equipment.
 The president was quick to notice Hoover appeared tired and express ed the need of rest before he en- tered activly into his campaign that Is schduled to begin about the first of SeptembT.

GALL FOR TOYS IS NOT REASONABLE
Always Are in Demand in This Country

I NeW IoFh, July iv. WI Sdnte
 Claus has moved to the United States.
 It seems that he found Europ,
 rather disagreeable during ths
 world war and took his departure at that time. American toy manu- lecturers demonstrated that more
 and better toys can be made in fac
 tories on the mass production plar
 than by hand in a thousand little 1 homes.
 Robert H. McCready, director of the New York Toy Fair Chamber | Of Commerce. who keeps in close touch with Santa Claus as mat ter of business and sentimental in- terest. told The Associated Press I Of this change in international con- ditions.
 Furthermore. he disclosed that December and Christmas have d few days in February as rivals for i interest in the toy business. but it Is trade fail rather than holi- day which interests the Santa Claus and the toymakers two months af- ter the Christmas stockings have been taken down. So great has be- : come the demand for toys that the santa and the manufacturers have to plan ten months ahead for the next Christmas.
 "An outstanding feature of the toy business today is the New York Toy Fair. held each February" Me Cready explains. This is not an exposition or exhibition, but q trade fair perhaps the greatest in the New World. It had it's beginnings about 25 years ago when a few Yankee toymakers took sample rooms in New York hotels to meet store buyers on their annual trips to New York.
 "Playthings from all parts of the world - the products of several thousand manufacturers are dis played. with the result that this event has become the most impor- tant international toy fair in ex- ! istence."
 While the trade fair may be reminiscent of the Old World, toy 1 manufacture is peculiarly of the New. Labor and time saving ma- chinery is employed and toys are made In factories. But the real reason for the removal of Santa | Claus and the growth of the indus try. in Mir McCready's opinion, lies deeper than that.
 While the World war undoubt- edly gave great impetus to the American toy industry" he said
 Tt is not by any means the begin ming of toy manufacture on a large scale in this country. The real growth of this country's industry Is. to my mind. found in the study which has been made of American childhood and in the recognition of the fact that children really think. "The toymaker has all the world to choose from in making his toys, but he must understand the psy- chology of childhood in adapting the products of other industries 10 the requirements of his own. With the development ot toys which are durable and useful and which have meaning in the lives of children, they are outgrowing the category or the mere gifts and are entering into the realm of actual equipment for children"
 McCready has statistics to show that where 20 years ago every one Of the less than $3.o0o,0OO worth of dolls sold annually in this coun- try was imported, today America manufactures and sells to her own and other peoples more than $20,- 100000 worth of dolls yearly. as well as more than s15 5.oo0,0 worth or juvenile vehicles and millions or dollars worth of other toys.

Hughes Is Likely Choice
 For World Court Judge

GeneVa. Switzerland. July 1S O- Nomination by France today of Charles Evans Hughes of the United States for the vacant judgeship on the world court. with Dr. Waiter Simons of Germany as second choice has narrowed the choice for the place to these two men.
 Observers here are fairly we'll con- vinced that Mir. Hughes will be elect cd. They base this not only on the fact that the vacancy in tho court was caused by the retirement of an- other American. John Bassett Moore. but also on the probability that the court is likely to be enlarged within a year and in that event the addi- tional place would provide . seat for the president of the supreme court Of Germany.
 Dr. Simons' country has indicated wish for representation on the court and other powers have ssreed that this would be desirable.
