1t isn't always a good idea
to voluntarily get into any
kind of an argument. least Of
all a baseball argument, but
when one has been asked as
many times as I have to go on
record with the kind of a base
ball team I'd pick were I a
contestant in the Babe Ruth
All-American team contests, in
which this newspaper is to
send four winners to the first
block of games in the world
series-well, I just can't stay
out of the fuss any longer.
Were I a run-of-the-mine
baseball fan with yen to get
all of my expenses paid to the
city staging the opening games
Of this years series, I think
I'd scratch my head a little
while and then turn up with
team about like this one:
Bill Terry, he formerly Of
Memphis, would undoubtedly be
my choice for first baseman.
That may be les majestic to Joe
Judge and Art Shires and Lou
Gehrig and some of the others,
but I've liked Terry for a long,
long time and he certainly
seems to be outdoing himself
this season
Moving over to second, I'd
have to stick by the Fordham
Flash, frankie FriSch, although
have to pause by the side
of the name Of Gehringer, who
is smooth enough a-field but
who hasn't got the stuff at the
bat that has FriSch.
It's a close toSS-up between
those two for the second base
job, and / make a choice, merely
because Babe Ruth's club pro-
videS for but one second base
man. They are both sweet
around the middle station and
it's hard to shade them.
I have ever maintained that
Tony Lazzeri measured up quite
considerable as q ball player
anywhere you put him, and I
like his work this season enough
to make him my choice as the
third Sacker for my Babe Ruth
team. Bluege and Traynor are
the only two other third Sackers
who car approach the italian.
Bluege isn't hitting as well as
either Traynor or Lazzeri and
the latter Is faster than Pie

it again in the ninth. And each
time Berg nailed him with rights
to the body that left him heavyn
footed and with his pink mouth
ajar. He simply was asking for !
trouble and Berg was pleased to-
oblige him.
Twice in the fourth and fifth
rounds Chocolate was dead on his
feet, too weary even to pedal
backward away from the cease
less flourish Of gloves that Berg
sponsored. Again in a wild
eighth round, one Of the finest
ever witnessed in New York, the
Kid was tottering under the
storm, beaten back on oto the
defensive by superior weight and,
stamina, and after outslugging
Berg in another great rally to-
start the ninth, he was nailed
with a left ani right to the body
and barely survived the round
under his own power. But he
came back to win the tenth. 9
It was always that right to the
body that bobhed up in time tor
take the zip and lingo out Of
Chocolates realizes. No otheri
punch as much as disturbed his
haircut, whereas Berg was clip
ped full upon the countenance,
with left hooks and right crosses
in almost every round. -

finally decided to stand off and
call his shots. He called three
bull 's-eyes late in the round with
pair Of rights and a left hook,
all of them on the jowl. Berg
came tearing out with left and
right down below to open the
fourth and Chocolate was hurt SO
badly that he spent three min
uteS wondering whether his
stomach was with him or against
him. Berg tore him apart in this
round.
He did much the same in the
fifth, only Chocolate managed 70
counterpunch him with q couple
of heavy weights to the head.
However, Jack sank another right
in the body just before the bell
and was well in front at the END.
The Kid looked great again in the
sixth, head-Slipping lot Of Berg's
leads and countering him with
punches that snapped Berg'S head,
back like hinge. I couldn't call
the seventh because Berg was well
in front with rights to the body
in the first half and then Choco-
late came late in the round and
had Berg backing UP at the end,
The eighth and ninth saw
Chocolate make his play toward
stealing the show. He stood head
to head with Berg and Slugged
for almost a minute at a time,
but this was the EngliShman'S
game and he always had the last
punch. The tenth round wasn
clearly Chocolates and sc'1

LIKE
DRAW. To
WALSH
Rx DAVIS ]. WALSH

used to tell the story Of the auto
mobile driver who always beat
the railroad train to the crossing
and then one day it was q tie.
Anyhow. the little black gnome
they call Kid Chocolate finally
was adjudged to have lost prize
fight last night, two officials de-
Gliding that Jack Kid Berg. Of Eng
land, had finished on top OF the
pace in 10 Of the finest rounds the
old Polo Grounds have known. II
they were calling it for me, it
could have been a draw, with no
questions asked. However. a dead
heat with disaster doesn't count,
except in the morgue.
It was Chocolates first defeat
in an amazing run Of success
through 1853 fights and, pound for
pound, the better fighter lost, even
granting that maybe he didn't
lose at all. One judge, Charles F..
Mathison, voted for Chocolate.
The other, Joe Angelic, and the
referee, Patsy Haley, said Berg.
It was like that. The press boys
wrangled bitterly. Beautiful
friendships ceased in the crowd Of
more than 10000. Chocolate,
himself, was so sure he won that
he went out to take the winners
bow and then, almost hysterical
with the shock, he flung himself
fretfully back into his corner and
refused to be comforted. The best
I can vouchSafe Is that it was a
very close fight and a very good
one.
The decision qualified Berg
for q lightweight title meeting
with the new champion, Al
Singer. but If IL was as close
as the writer and many others
thought 1t was. it spoke none
too elOQuently Of Berg's
ability.
This was no lightweight he was
fighting. It was a small feather
weight, 124 pounds on the scales
at 2 o'clock against Berg'S 1874
A 10-pound pull in the weight
among these whippets ought to be
worth q ton among the heavy
weights.
In this case, it meant that
Chocolate could go at top speed
for only a minute and a half OF
each round. But when he did, he
looked-and, indeed. was-miles
away the better fighter. He raked
Berg's jaw and body with sharp
Stinging punches that had the bite
and snap Of a cracking whip
But he couldn't keep the gallant
Englishman away, and before
each round was two minutes old
Berg was all over the Kid like a
strawberry rash.
The Kid doubtless blew the de
cision because often he had tc
stop fighting and hold. Bere
doubtless won it because he never
stopped. Some Of his punches
meant little; many Of them meant
nothing. But even a punch on the
elbow means more than no punch
at all; that is to say, a punch on
the elbow is worth two in the
hand. Anyhow. it is obvious that
so far as the deciding votes wers
concerned, Berg had clustered his
way to the verdict, as well he
might. One can do a lot of blus'
tering behind a 1O-pound profit.
At that. the writer's score
showed no better than five
rounds for Berg, four for
Chocolate and another 50
doubtful that he called 1t
even.
The Kid made only one mis-
take in the fight but, unfortun
atel, he made it twice, which is
almost several times too often
Staked to a natural advantage
in speed and skill, he went out
to fight Berg at his own game
to his ultimate regret. He did
this in the first round. He did

Hawaiian Samoans
Watch Fight to Rule

Samoans in Hawaii are intensely in
terested in the campaign against the
New Zealand mandate administration
which their brethren of Western Samoa
are carrying on. Included In the hun
dreds of Samoans living in and about
Honolulu are several Of chiefly blood
and some Of these have been active In
the political life of Western Samoa.
They are waging q long distance bonn
bardment Of the New Zealand admins
tration.
while most of the Samoans in Hawaii
come from American Samoa, they are,
apparently, as keenly concerned over
the events at Apia as are those who
formerly were under British rule. A
move recently made by Samoans here
ostensihly In the direction of education
is regarded as having some political
significance, inasmuch as 1t IS accom-
panied by efforts to show the desire OF
the Western Samoans for self-govern-
ment.
This Is the establishment of a schol-
arship for SamoanS In the University
of Hawaii. In the recent series Of pub
lie appearances and speeches which In
PRODUCED this project, Samoan residents
dwelt on the progress of their race,
their readiness to take their place In
the modern world.
There Is In Hawaii unquestionably q
great deal OF sympathy for the Samoans,
and Ambassadors In the Hawaiian Is
lands point to the self-government of
this territory, with Hawaiian men and
women having full suffrage, as indica-
tive Of the ability of Polynesians to be-
come members Of democratic and rep
resentative governments.

Foreign Residents Get
Yokohama Tax Vote

Foreign residents Of Yokohoma have
been declared eligible to vote in the
elections held every year for members
Of the house tax investigation commits
sion, which Axes taxes for all residences
IN the port city.
According to the law all house own
ers are eligible to vote for members
of the commission. For years the
matter Of foreign ballots was not
brought up, but recently the question
was raised and last December 1t was
announced that foreign owners OF
houses could take part In the election.
1t has not been determined whether
foreigners can serve on the commits
sion, but the mere fact that they can
take part in an election Is something
Of o precedent in Japan.
These elections, while under the city
Of Yokohama, do not have to comply
with the national election law. Cam
didates for the committee may solicit
votes, take constituency members ON

everything but openly buy votes. II

MOrrow's Name Linked
To Famous Spaniard's

Ambassador Dwight w. Morrow has
linked his name to that Of Herman
Cortes. the famous Spanish captain
who conquered Mexico In the name Of
her gracious majesty Isabella, Catholic
Queen of Spain. Cortes, charmed NTH
the unparalleled climate of Cuernavaca,
so miles south Of Mexico City, ordered
castle built for himself in the early
days Of the sixteenth century. Morrow.
600 years later, equally captivated by
the town Of everlasting Spring season,
established his Summer residence there
and decided to have the Cortes castle
decorated 90 q gift to the. city.
The castle ut present Ii the home Of
local authorities. Its turrets rise over
red tiled roofs Of sevried houses as O
landmark and serve as an attraction
for tourists. The walls are being deco
rated with richly colored frescoes by
Diego Rivera, world-known painter
who has achieved notoriety for his COM
munistic activities. Congress had TO
pass q bill permitting the decoration
Of the castle. one Of the Oldest build
inss In the continent. and the Ambas-
sador paid $4,000 10 Rivera for the
work.

New Cane Harvester
Does Work of $50 Hands

Sugar plantation men OF Hawaii are
interested in q report from Louisiana
that a new cane harvester has been de-
veloped by DR.. Carl @. Muench and that
it will do the work Of $50 skilled field
hands. This machine. having been tried
out in the Everglades canefieid, Is being
perfected and several complete harvest
ers have been ordered. The harvesting
of cane is one of the serious problems OF
heaviest items Of expense. Cane in the
Hawaiian fields nearly always bends just
above the roots and often lies at an
angle with the ground, making It's cut.
ting difficult. Cane cutting in Hawaii
is done by manual labor. which necessi-
tates the use Of large number OF held
hands, and Is comparatively slow and
laborious. Reports that the Muench
invention is working out successfully in
Florida, both for cutting the stalks and
for stripping the leaves from them. will
be followed eagerly by the Hawaiian
planters.
