Fields won a 12-round newspaper

Fields cannot make less than lao
pounds, Mandelrs crown is not in

To allow the match to proceed,
Eddie Kane, Mandell's manager,
had to post $1,000 certified check

State Land Board Has
$1,500,0O0 to Invest

Despite the fact that more than
1900 applications for loans have been
received at the state school and
public land office since September
and that 101 loans were closed in
January, the department still has
81 100000 to invest. ac~ roing to
Land Commissioner w. z. Byerly.
Heavy collections and the fact
that large number of persons have
paid the principal as well rs the
interest on loans granted in recent
years is given as the reason for the
bullying treasury.
In closing 1O1 loans in January,
Byerly said, the department estab-
lished a new record. the previous
mark having been 81. He expects
the January figure to be shattered
this month, however.
Delay has been caused in grartirg
some loans, he said, because of the
fact that county appraisal boards
could not work when the ground is
covered with snow and the appraisal
board must view the land on which
loan is asked and make ,eco.a-
mendation before the loan can be
granted under the rules Of the state
land board.
With much Of the snow gone from
the ground Throughout. the ;;tatc, the
county appraisal boards are expected
to begin the work of checking up on
loan requests and many applications
which still are pending should be
acted upon during the remainder Of
this month and in March, Byerly
said.
He expects the balance to the
departments credit to be reduced
in the near future when bond pur-
chases Of $4,000 will be completed.
OF this total $4,000 will be adj
vanced to the jamestown school
district end $4,000 to the Weber
school district, Sargent county.

Siddons had dismissed similar
charges against Sheldon Clark, vice
president Of the Sinclair Refining
company, ard c. l.. Vcitsch, head Of
the Burns Baltimore Agency.
Sinclair refused to testify in the
scnate's Teapot Dome inquiry.
Tends 10 Obstruct Justice
In sentencing the men Justice
Siddons, who had presided at the
mistrial, made the declaration that
shadowing OF an "unsuspected jury"
was unlawful and that it tended 70
obstruct justice, therefore being il
contempt OF court.
"A disastrous thing happened
here" he said, "a breakdown in a
criminal trial, Il breakdown that
was clearly due to the action of the
respondents. 1t broke down be-
cause there was surveillance of the
jury"
w. Sherman Burns was tie only
defendant who asked the mercy OF
the court, and he asked that it BE-
applied to his father. the founder
Of the Burns Detective Agency. JUS
tice Siddons had reviewed coinci-
dences linking the elder Burns and
Sinclair in the case and had de-
clare he was not satisfied that he
was without share Of the blame.
The justice explained that he had
meted out only Il fine to the young
er Burns because he had aided the
district attorney in investigating tho
case, but today, who employed the
detectives for Sinclair he said he
had showed loyalty to Il friend
greater than loyalty to the land"
That loyalty, he said, he took into
consideration with degree of adj
miration in fixing the sentence.
Decision Expected
The courts decision was forecast
two weeks ago when the justice
ruled that jury shadowing was un-
lawful. None Of the defendants
would discuss the case except Sher-
man Burns, who declared the SEN
fencing of his father was .'out-
rageous." He said the 'court stated
that although there was not any evil
dence that William j. Burns knew
OF this surveillance, the court could
not bring himself to believe he did
not know about it,
Sinclair will be back in the same
court on April 2 when he will go
on trial again on charges of con.
spiracy with Albert b. Fail as in
terror secretary to defraud the gov-
eminent in the lease of Teapot
Dome. Fall also is scheduled for
trial that day, but the government
has declared its intention to try Sim
clair separately ii Falls i'll health
prevents his appearances
One Point Unsettled
One branch of the case CROWN
out of the mistrial remains unset
tied. 1t concerns the charge in two
affidayits that one of the trial iur-
ors, Edward J. Kidwell, Jr., talked
on the case while serving on the
jury. Kidwell denied the charge,
became government witness and
then accused government counsel,
Assistant District. Attorney James J..
O'Leary, with having intimidated
him.
Justice Siddons ruled yesterday
that there was no evidence to show
that Kidwell had been intimidatca
and that he was convinced it was
not fact.

BOARD IS CHOSEN
FOR RING TROPHY
Five Named to Pick Heavy
Champion to Receive
Tunney Award.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, October 1O.-Coinci-
dent with the request of the British
Board of Boxing Control that Phil
Scott English champion, be considered
among the contenders, a board of trus-
tees consisting of five leading men of
affairs has been named to take control
of the TunEey- Muldoon Trophy, en-
blematic of the worlds heavyweight
championship.
Serving on the board will be Bernard
F. Gimbel, vice president of Gimbel
Bros, Inc; John NICE. Bowman, pres
ident of the Bowman Biltmore Hotels
Corporation; Herbert Bayard Swope.
executive editor of the New York World;
jeremiah T. Mahoney. justice of the
New York State Supreme Court, and
George l.. TEX Richard.
William Muldoon, veteran New York
State Boxing Commissioner. announced
the appointment of the board in state
ment in which he said:
THE retired champion and are
confident that the characters and high
standing of these men in the world of
affairs and their devotion to the best
interests of sport are sufficient guar
antees that the custody of the trophy
Is in the best possible hands and that
the purposes for which the trophy is
donated will be faithfully carried out"
At the time he vacated the heavy
weight throne, Gene Tunney announc-
ed that he would donate the trophy
on which the names of his immediate
and distant successors would be in
scribed. The request of the British
board that the name of Phil Scott be
considered for place on the trophy
came in formal request to the New
York commission yesterday for infor-
nation concerning Genes retirement
The British fathers feared that cabled
reports had been exaggerated and ask
ed more authoritative news. The letter
also offered the services of the British
board in producing real world" cham
pion and suggested Scott, the recogniz-
ed British heavyweight champion, as
worthy of consideration.
The discovery of a world cham
pion will be the chief interest of the
board Muldoon said
The board will be vested with alb
solute control of the trophy 1t will
decide whose name will be inscribed
as Tunney's successor, but it can be re-
lied upon to make no decision until
some contender has established his
right to the title beyond question"
The design for the trophy has not
yet been definitely decided upon, but
Mahonri Young, sculptor, is working on
one which calls for bronze figure of
boxer to be mounted on a marble
pedestal.
When the emblem is completed it
probably will be placed on permanent
display in the lobby of Madison Square
Garden.
Provision is to be made for the In
scription of 80 names, nine of them
of former champions. The first will
be that of John l.. Sullivan Then will
follow Jim Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons,
Jim Jeffries, Tommy Burns, Jack John
| son, Jess Willard. Jack Dempsey and
Tunney. The name of Marvin Hart. to
whom Jeffries awarded" the title after
his retirement in 1905 wilI' be omitted.
since Hart never received general rec
ognition as heavyweight king.

LAUDS
POWER OF YANKS
Cardinals Fairly Beaten, Ad-
mits Star First Baseman
of st. Louis.
BY JIM BOTTOMLEY.
irst Raseman, St Louis Cardinal.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-. october love
have no alibis. We were beaten and
beaten decisively. They gave us the
game, proving their superiority beyond
a doubt.
The Yankees are powerful champions,
with as great batting attack as I've
ever seen and good pitchers to go with
it. We did our best, but we weren't
there. We were in batting slump in
several of the games-that Is a part Of
base ball and no excuses are In order.
Umpire Pfirman's decision in the
seventh inning might have been the
turning point Of the game, in that 1t
got Sherdel off poise, but 1t was a just
decision. We had agreed before the
series not to work quick deliveries by
the pitchers Besides, in today'S in
stance, Umpire Pfirman called time
just before Sherdel's pitch to Ruth.
Therefore, Pflrman was right in not
calling that pitch strike.
The final game was no different from
the first three SO far as New York'S at
tack was concerned. Ruth and Gehrig
again were dominant. Ruth being the
outstanding figure with his three home
runs, each of them over the pavilion
roof, all hard hit balls.
AS to our attack today, 1t was the
same sad story as the second and third
games. We had chance after chance
to drive in runs, but we could not come
through with runners in scoring posi-
ton.
BY beating us, the Yanks gained re-
venge for the trimming we gave them
in 1926. They are a powerful club, no
kidding. They are the only team in
base ball history to win two successive
world series in eight straight games.
Give EN- a hand, boys.

RUTH AND HIGGINS
PRAISED BY HOYT
Halls Babe as Premier
"Money Player" and Miller
as "Brainiest Pilot"
BY WAITE HOYT,
Nav York Yankees Pitcher,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, october 10.-On the
way back to "home, sweet home"
Well, the world series is over, and We
are the world champions for the second
successive year.
1 don't think I am being immodest
when I say that the Yankees showed
themselves to be the greatest champion
ship team that ever played base ball by
doing what no other team in the his
tory of base ball has ever been able to
do-namely win two world series each
in four straight games in successive
years and run up total OF eight straight
world series victories.
I get credit for winning two of the
four games in this series, beating Willie
Sherdel in the first game last Thursday
and again in the final game today.
That, of course, makes me very happy,
and would like to feel that deserve
the credit for my two victories.
However, yesterdays victory, the most
thrilling one of the series, belongs to
Babe Ruth, whose three homerS not only
established him as the outstanding in
dividual hero of the series, but also
made it very easy for me to win. I
know I couldn't have won without him.
for unsteady play in the early part of
the game, including an error by myself,
gave the Cardinals two runs.
Each time they got a run the Babe
made homer to tie up the score and
put me back on an even footing with
Sherdel again, so that when the rest of
the boys came across with their blows,
and the Babe added his third homer, !
was we'll in front and able to ease up in
the closing innings.
Yes, all credit goes to Ruth. He is a
great champion and showed himself to
be an outstanding money player" The
greatest thrills in base ball have been
supplied by this big fellow, but it takes
ball player to appreciate him for what
he is really worth. We, who play with
him, see beyond the spectacular. There
will never be another like him.
hope now that the Yankees will get
the recognition they deserve as the
greatest Of ball clubs. Believe me. they

U. S. TO GET $4,000
OUT OF BIG SERIES
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government expects to collect
about 100000 in taxes from money paid
by base ball fans to see the New York
Americans win the world championship.
The amount, from preliminary esti-
mates, will be the smallest, except once,
in the last five years.
The Government tax on tickets sold
to the four games, according to pre-
liminary estimates, will be $77,729, but
it is expected to be swelled through the
additional tax on ticket spectators and
agencies. In addition to the regular tax
the Government gets cents on each
ticket reSold at so cents above the
regular price and so per cent of the
excess if the resale price is more than
so cents above the regular price.
The Government tax on the Wash
ington-NeW York world series was
$l08,177, on the Washington Pittsburgh
series $118,923, ST. Louis-New York
series $l20,789 and on the Pittsburgh
New York series of last year, when only
four games were played, the tax was
$78, $50.

CUBS DOWN CHISOX
FOR CHICAGO TITLE
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, october 1O-The Cubs
have given the National League
little solace, anyway. They defeated
the White Sox, birthplace winners in
the American League, for the city
championship.
Hammering four White Sox pitchers,
Connally, Walsh, Adkins and Cox, for
Is hits, the Cubs sank their South
side rivals, IS to 2, in the seventh and

first time since 1925.
Sheriff Blake, whose pitching was a
big factor in keeping the Cubs in the
National League pennant race, was the
Cub hero in the series, winning two
games. Yesterday he toyed with Lena
Blackburne's rockies, giving seven hits,
despite the wide margin the heavy hit
ting of Freddy Mcguire, Hack Wilson
and Charlie Grimm and five White Sox
errors gave him.

are a great bunch of fellows to play
with And before stop want to add
compliment for our manager, Miller
Higgins, who 1 consider not only the
brainiest manager in base ball, but a
great fellow.
I may sound overenthusiastic, but
this has meant a lot to all of us. To
have won two games Of those four means
a great deal to me. and in my own de-
light I don't want to overlook those
teammates of mine, who through their
great ability as ball players made 1t pos
sible for me to do it.
It is too bad that the Cards made such
bad showing, but they tried their best
at all times. They are fine lot of
sportsmen, and 1 wish them better luck
next year.

fashion.
The joshing, joking and rough-house

and Lou Gehrig, the clouting twins. 1t

these two led a campaign of rip-off the
shirt of every one they met, or coat and
vest as well. if they happened to be in
the way. Buttons by the quart were
strewn from one end of the special to
the other.
Ruth, in high spirits, was the most
sophomore of the group, being accused
of putting cracked egg in Les Du-

dining room with a pet dog the size Of
a toy, to lead a cheer for the dear old
team.
