n YEW YORK, September 19.-If
the New York State Athletic
VI Commission has its way, the
/ bantamweight and welterweight
thrones will be occupied by
kings who have shown definitely that
they are entitled to the royal purple.
Joe Dundee, Baltimore Italian, is the
ruler of the 147-pounders. according to
the book, but lost what little prestige
remained to him when he was knocked
out in two rounds by young Jack
Thompson of Los Angeles, negro.
Dundee saved his crown, but not his
reputation. by forcing the negro to
come in overweight for that fracas in
Chicago a few weeks ago.
The bantamweight throne has had no
universally recognized occupant since

Comics hopes along with his Phila-

grief this year has been confined al
most exclusively to hometown rooters.
The Indians are going nowhere ana
know it, but they rose out OF the ruck
of an 11-game losing streak to smack
the Athletics for 3-to-2 loss.
While the AS were engaged In this
reprehensible business of losing game.

Walberg Tribes Victim.
Rube Walberg was the victim of
Cleveland's triumph. The left-hander
allowed only four hits in the seven
innings he worked, but one of these
was a home run by Ollie Tucker in the
fifth and in the seventh the Indians
punched two more with a grievious
tumble by Sammy Hale to score two
more runs The AS started scoring
after this, but one in the eighth and
one in the ninth was their limit.

The National League situation re-
manned in status quo, all three leaders
recording triunphs.
The league Leading st. Louis Cardi-
nails made it five in row over the
Phillies, 4 to 2, and closed the season S
tories and only two defeats. Jess Haines
held the PhilS to hits.
Bill Terry's home run in the tenth
gave the New York Giants the edge
over the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3 to 2. Bur-
leigh Grimes, trying for his twenty
fifth victory and his sixth over the
Giants, gave way to pinch-hltter IN
the ninth with the score to l against
him. The Pirates tied it up in the
ninth, but Joe Dawson, who relieved
Grimes, offered one that Terry liked
and the game was over. The victory
enabled the Giants to split even in the
% games with the Pirates and remain
two games distant from the Cardinals.

ject If these negotiations fail we must con-
slider alternative routes. In any event, the
completion of this great system of barge lines
on the rivers and connectiong the lakes with
the gulf of opening a shipway from the lakes
to the sea, will make an effective transpor-
tation system $4,000 miles in length pene-
trating 20 midwest states 1t will connect these
states with seaboard at the gulf on one hand
And this means more than the mere saving up
on the actual goods shipped over these routes.
If part of your crops can move to market at a
z to 1O-cent saving per bushel, the buyers
competitive bidding for this portion of the crop
And this development concerns not only
agriculture, but every industry and business
in the midwest. The manufacturer and mer-
chant in this section is suffering from cur
tailment of his distribution field; his business
province has shrunk. This development
should tend to increase manufacturing industry
in the midwest and thereby sreate larger
diversity of employment and a greater local
market for agricultural products. Nor does
this development mean the cri ppling of our
railways. The annual increase in railway
traffic will give to them far more than COM
plete offset to these diversions. Moreover,
everything that increases the prosperity of the
country also helps the railways. The policy of
rapid contamination of this great project will
be continued if the Republican administration
be continued. We should at the present rate
of progress have completed the Mississippi
system within the next your years. 1t is a
vital part of the rehabilitation of the middle
west agriculture and basin.

MORE LAWS; MORE JOBS

Thoughtful citizens, regardless of political af-
fliations, are beginning to sense the menace pre-
sented by the growth of government departments,
bureaus, boards, commissions and other agencies
for the regulation of every detail of daily lives
This menace is two-fold. 1t menaces liber-
ties and it menaces material welfare through
forcing to support army of useless officials.
Every law which is suggested by the profess
sional reformer and busybody is designed to add
to this army Of political job holders The burden
is becoming intolerable.
This is particularly true in business and indus
trial life, in which the harassment of reputable ct
zens at the whims of politicians has about reached
the limit of endurance Speaking to the American
Bar Association this subject some time ago, Mr..
Justice Sutherland of the United States Supreme
Court said:
"Never before have the business activities of
the people been so beset and bedeviled with vex-
atious statutes, prying commissions and govern
mental intermeddling."
Judge Johnson of Idaho observes that 'the APP
petite for mnding other peoples business grows by
what it feeds on, and the result is a swarm of
agents, inspectors, detectives and nosey Meddling
Matties going about the country harassing, annoy
ing, worrying and bulldozing the people,
Still the busybodies are clamoring for more
laws, more bureaus and more Investigations, be-
cause these mean more political job-hoders at the
expense Of the taxpayers.
