B0RAH DEMANDS
 HOOVER ATTITUDE
Says President Must Say
 Whether Tariff Is Okay

Washington, Sept. 2G (UP) - Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, called upon President Hoover today to tell the senate and the country whether the tariff bill meets with his approval and fulfls his cam paign promises.
 T ask from the floor of the sen ate" Borah shouted, that the presl- dent advise the senate and the coun- try if he approve the industrial schedules in this bill
 'I ask him 10 tell us if te ap- proves the duty on cement. the duty on pig iron and other matters which increase the profits of the steel trust I ask him to tell us whether he is satisfied with the duties levied by this bill on agricultural products.
 Will he advise us that he is sat isfied that the bill meets the pledges he made in the last campaign"
 Borah said he would not have asked the president for his attitude on the rates of the bill if the pres ident had not taken a hand i'll the bill by issuing a statement on the flexible provisions.
 T say this il. all respect for the president and with q profound re- gard for the presidency, Borah said. But these are the vital facts in this chamber. Had he not spoken I should not have made this sug- gestion, but a. he has spoken, asri- culture wants to know whether he thinks the bill complies with his pledges"
 Cannot Turn Back
 "The president having put his hand to the blow" Borah continued. The cannot turn aside. Having un- dertaken a hand in it he must as sume responsibility for it's terms"
 If it had not been an established precedent for presidents to advise measured terms" But, he said, the would have criticised him in 'un- measured terms" But, hesaid, the practice has been going on for 60 years.
 Therefore" Borah added, "it is the duty of the president to advise this body and the country in the same plain and specific way whether industrial schedules in the bill meet his approval
 "The real fight on this bill is be- tween agriculture and industrial schedules. The most important question before the country is whether these industrial schedules are necessary"
 Borah continued the fight begun yesterday by the progressive group against the flexible provisions of the bill.

He admit ted that he picked up an axe and brought it down on the can for the purpose of spilling the alcohol but he denied that he swung the axe with the intention of striking Officer Cosgrove and he also refutod the of fcer's testimony relative to the use of a vile name towards the officer as he swung the axe
 He also claimed that Officer Cos grove started the fight by seizing him by the neck. He said that the reason he did not submit to arrest vas because he had not committed any offense.
 Three Previous Convictions

 Relative of Officer Cosgrove's pos itive Identification of him as the driver, Grabowski testified that in the New Britain police court Cos grove admitted that he was not cer- tain as to the drivers identity.
 In support of his alibi, Grabow- ski had Stanley Blogoslowski, New Britain furniture dealer, called 10 the stand and he testified that his book showed that Grabowski call ed at his store on June 20 to get a baby carriage which had been or dered some time before.
 Mrs. Helen Blank of g Hotch- kiss street, Middletown. sister ot the Grabowskis, testified that Charles called at her home on June 20 and delivered the baby car riage which had been bought for her infant.

YANKEES AS
FLAG WINNERS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
4-(P-Babe Ruth has decided
that he is going to have a good
year and that the New York
Yankees are going to win another
American league pennant.
Aside from saying that he Is In
good physical trim and confident
that he will play as well as he ever
has, the Babe declined to become
specific as to why he thought SO.
But he became eloquent as to
the Yankees chances.
THE other teams, Detroit and
Washington in particular may have
improved" the Babe says, but not
enough to threaten us. I can't see
that the Athletics, who gave us the
most trouble last year, are any
stronger. Neither are the Browns.
We are bound to get more pitching
than we had last year for we will
have Pennock and Moore back.
And I am saying this before I've
seen any Of u young pitchers

I913-LEACH CROSS FLATTENS
JOE MANDOT

JOL MANDo1
Joe Mandot, the southern flash,
was well along on his campaign for
the lightweight championship Of
the world when debonair Tommy
Walsh, his handsome manager,
made a hideous error This was
early in 1918, when Walsh decided
that a bout with DR.. Leach Cross,
the New York dentist, would drag
out the Mardi Gras customers in
great numbers If Cross could be
persuaded to fight in New Orleans.
The doctor ~could-and did.
A neat little 15-rounder was
carded and tickets were kicked up
to SIS. a top price in those days.
Walsh figured his boy would look
good against Cross and he did-for
a while.
With a packed house for this
lightweight natural Joe Mandot
stepped away to a nice early lead.
This southern boy was clever. He
could jab and feint, use fancy foot
work, and knew all the little tricks
of the game. He could even hit a
trifle, as he proved when he floored
Cross in the fifth round.
But they grow them tough in New
York's ghetto, and the tooth puller
refused to be stopped by n knock
down. He kept after Mandot re-
l~entlessly, and then, wowie-in the
eighth he spilled a long left that
collided with Mandot'S button.
The home boy neve recovered
from that blow. He lasted through
the eighth and ninth, but was SC
far gone in the tenth that Walsh
tossed in the towel.
