Retirement Measure
To Be Pushed in list
Congress, Says Dale

The bill to liberalize the retire
ment system for thousands of
Government employees, which
President Coolidge did not sign
yesterday, will be reintroduced
and pushed again during the
Seventy-first Congress, Senator
Dale of Vermont, chairman of the
Senate civil service committee,
said today.
Senator Dale said he could not
tell at this time whether it will
be possible to start the retirement
bill on its legislative journey again
at the special session expected to
be called next month, or whether
it will have to wait until the
regular session in December. He
stated, however, that it would be
introduced at the first oppor-
tunity. If, as some leaders be-
lieve. hte special session is con-
fined to farm relief and tariff re-
vision, the retirement bill would
wait until the regular session.

Telephone AIS had a quiet opening,
with a gain of point, following one
of about 9 points Thursday. They
quickly started out to duplicate the
performance of the previous session and
had reached 191 when the announce
meflt came over the tickerS that the
Telephone management denied rumorS
of a split-up of the company'S shares
or new financing. This caused drop
of points, with later recovery. Since
the first of this month the bonds have
advanced over 40 points.
International Telephone 4l2s met the
rise of 7l2 points in the American Tel
ephone bonds with one of points.
An expansion in the demand for the
Kreuger S5 Toll convertible SIS and in
Lautaro convertible IS added consid-
erably to the days bond total. The
former reached new high, about 6
points abovt the level at which pool
accumulation began Two weeks ago, WIFI
very active trading this afternoon in

Wednesday. All Of the unSold bonds,

PARIS, July 25.-(P-France still
is confident in the ability Of her
tennis warriors to turn back the
American team in the Davis cup
challenge round beginning tomor-
row, but predictions of a one-sided
victory are few and far between.
The combination Of youth and
age on the American team has
made a strong impression of
strength on the French tennis ex-
perts. particularly the young dou-
bles team Of John Van Ryn and
Wilmer Allison.
These two youngsters, one from
New Jersey and the other from
Texas, who have joined forces with
such good results, offer the most
important question to be decided bv
Pierre Gillou. the non-playing cap

Yesterday they took on the

with three sets in which they lost

that match was that Gillou called

Comes the query:
The old Chicago Cubs ire rated
higher than the modern troupe.
even with Cuyler, HornSby, Wilson
and Root among the current stars.
What about the new Athletics as
compared with the old?"
The answer, all angles considered,
is just about the same. The Old
White Elephants, with Connie Mack
in his early SOS, were a much bet
ter defensive outfit than the cur
rent AS. The 100000 infield Of
McInnis, Collins, Barry and Baker
"a bargain at that price any day
was the real backbone Of the team
and pitching corps, including Ben
der. Plank. Waddell and Coombs,
was one of the greatest Of all time.
The modern MackS offer a heaVl-
er attack, just as the present-day
Cubs outshine their predecessors
with the stick. But the old Athlet-
les were far from weaklings with
the stick and a leSS-lively ball.
Mickey Cochrane is a greater pitch
er than any one Of the trio Of
Mack's 1010-14 champions-Jack
Lapp, Ira Thomas or Wally Schang,
just breaking in. The veteran Con-
ME, in fact, thinks COchrane the
greatest catcher he has ever seen or
handled.
Lefty Grove and Rube Walberg,
two brilliant SouthpawS with plenty
Of smoke, recall the glories Of Ed
die Plank and RUDE Waddell under
MackiS old banner. but the 1929 ma
chine has no right-handers to match
Chief Bender or Colby Jack
Coombs.
Coombs was a glutton for work
and Bender, in Mack's opinion, was
the greatest "one-game" pitcher of
them all, not yer excepting the
immortal Christy MatheWson. Mack
regards "Matty" as the finest of all
moundSmen, but of Bender he once
said:
When there was one game we
wanted particularly to win, all 1
had to do was tell the Chief to get
ready. He was a wonder in a pinch"
Summed up, the ancient Athletics
were superior on defense, with mar
velouS pitching and a perfect in
field, as well as a consistently good
attack. The modern Macks are 3
heavier hitting array, led by Fox
Simmons and Cochrane, with good
pitching, a great catcher, fair m
Held and a better outfield.

Earl Caldwell pitched the Cubs
into a virtual tie with the Spudders
for the pinnacle when he stopped
the invaders, 2 to /, in series opener
at Katy Park. In gaining his fiji
tenth verdict the Rogers school
master gave up only seven hits.
Wiltse allowed a like number, but
one Of them happened to be a hon.

The Steers decreased the distance
between their cellar position and
the peak to four and one-half con-
tests by blanking the Exporters, 5

Connally kept seven blows scattered
and struck out three. The loss threw
the shippers back into a tie with
Houston for third place.

Haynes and Meado,-=, were belted
