They Call It Sport

I am going to be seated some
where near the ringside at the
Yankee Stadium next Thursday
night, so / will not be among
those who will miss the films of
the Sharkey Schmeling fight
through the restrictions of an
antiduated law which there is
some hope of repeating soon.
But watching a news reel OF
the recent Gus Conneberg wrest-
ling match at Boston from the
back row at the Palace yester-
day it struck me that this Law
against exhibiting championship
fights is utterly silly.
Unless my eyeSigHnt is faulty
there is more roughhouse, brutal
tossing around and studied eff
fort to MAIN an opponent in
what is called a wrestling match
than in dozen ringSide battles.
Yet wrestling is o. X. and box.
ing is barred to the news real

Using the head for a battering
ram to assault the enemy
stomach and tossing your rival
around like a bean bag without

practice. Fighters would be dis
qualified for fouling If they

California Professor ChaI-
Ienges Identity of New Astral
Body Discovered in Arizona.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERKELEY, Calf, April 15.-Iden-
tity of the new astral body discovered
by Lowell Observatory astronomers in
Arizona last January as the long sought
transneptunian planet was challenged
today by Director A. o. Leuschner of
the University of California student OBJ
servatory.
While agreeing with the discoveries
that the object Is beyond Neptune, Prof
Leuschner declined to accept it as the
ninth member of the planetary family,
after further orbit computation re-
ceived from Swarthmore University
Observatory and preliminary computa-
tons of mass just completed at the
student observatory here"
Prof. Leuschner said the new sky
wanderer might be a large asteroid, a
long-period planetary object or possibly
comet, adding, however, that its dis
covery was "of great significance, be-
cause it extends the limits of the solar
system"
THE computations of mass made
here" Prof. Leuschner explained, "in-
dictate the object is too small to have
caused the deviation in Neptune's orbit
which originally led to the suspicion
that transneptunian planet exists.
Upon its stellar magnitude and its
unknown albedo and density depends
the mass of the object. The smallest
known albedo-or ratio of sunlight re-
| flected to sunlight received-for a body
in the solar system is DOT. Such an
albedo and the observed stellar magni-
tude of Is would give a mass four
tenths that of the earth for the object,
providing its density is the same as that
of the earth.
PLANET X" Is Larger.
Lowell predicted that planet X
would prove to be seven times as large
as the earth. It is highly improbable
that the newly discovered object can be
anywhere near this size
Prof Leuschner said the Swarthmore
Observatory computations indicated the
| orbit of the object had an eccentricity
| of 0909. This means. Prof. Leuschner
| explained, that the orbit is a flattened
| ellipSe, with one end 20 times as dis
| tant from the sun as the other.
The Swarthmore University and the
| University of California Observatories
agreed in placing the body at its great
| est distance some 40 billion miles
from the sun, Prof. Leuschner pointed
out. He said no other planetary bodies
except comets ever get that far away
and, If the object is not q comet, it is
the first planetary body ever discov-
cred with such an eccentric orbit.

OTTAWA, July 30.-A special ses-
sion of Parliament to deal with unem-
ployment is expected to be the first
task to which r. B. Benrett will turn
his attention after he forms his new
Conservative government.
He was summoned to Rideau Hall
last night for private conference with
the Governor General as preliminary
to his selection of a cabinet and as
sumption of the post of prime minis
ter, which is expected to take place
within 10 days.
Premier w. l.. Mackenzie King yes
terday, after returns from Mondays
general election revealed the emphatic
victory of the Conservatives, advised
the Governor General of his readiness
to resign as soon as his successor had
selected his cabinet.
Mr.. Bennett has maintained silence
regarding the personnel of his cabinet,
but in political circles it is regarded as
likely that Gen. A. D. McRae, chief
Conservative whip, who was defeated
in North Vancouver, would be offered
q portfolio. In that case seat would
be opened for him. He also is mention
ed for the post of high commissioner
TO London.
Among the Ontario Conservatives, r.
J. Manion, Fort william; j. D. Chaplin,
Lincoln, and T.. B. Ryckman are men
toned for cabinet positions Others are
Sir George Perley and Arthur Sauve of
Quebec, Premier E. S. Rhodes Of Nova
Scotia, w. G. Ernst, j. A. Macdonald
and j. H. Meyers.
Political observers believe the spe-
cial session to consider unemployment
will be called in September, when legis-
lation authorizing government construc-
ton projects will be taken up.
Among the appointments which Mr..
Bennett will be called upon to make will
be that of new Minister to Washing
ton.
