Indeed, some Of the more ingen-

Some wonder why men and
boys would want to play any
game on such a field and such a
day, but each to his own choices
in this mad world of ours. The
players were lathered with slime
whenever two or more crashed tc
the ground and these collisions
were frequent. And a spill to
the cold ground was unkind but

Deny It's Responsibility.

Because, he said, the Republicans had
claimed for generations that they were
"the particular custodians of prosper

bama declared late yesterday that that
party now is ''estopped from denying

Huddleston's declarations were con-
tanned in a statement issued through

He said that figures on unemployment
show that more than $4,000, 900 persons
are affected by lack of work Twenty
two per cent of the members of the
American Federation of Labor are un-
employed in 18 principal cities, the
ALBANIAN said that organizations fig

census report of unemployment was
misleading, because 1t fails to take into
account part-time workers and those
laid off definitely or indefinitely.

Tom Clark's Case Explains Why
Ball Players Hmbor HOOdoos

two Of board Of three to pick an all
sandlot team.
Bud and Bottle, at least, know our
sandlotters, having the opportunity to
look 'em over plenty while working be-
behind the bat. Here are the selections
which the self-styled board of experts"
take the liberty to pick:
Lefty Mcintyre and Pete Ingram are
the pitchers, the former a left-hander
and the latter normal. Both choices
were unanimous. Fee Colliere is the
catcher, with. Hanson Fitzgerald and
Charley ,Doffleymeyer running close be-
hind. Ike Dreifuss unanimously is the
first sacker, as is Willie Wolf for second
base. Busy Bremen takes the short
stopping honor and Tots Long has third
base all to himself.
The outfeld, however, proved harder.
Tommy Clark is the center fielder, Mar
Gus Chaconas the right fielder and Art
Ludlow the left fielder.
Not so bad, we think.

To Becoming DUN Boss

NEW YORK. July 80 (CPA).-
What is behind the sudden upheaval
by which william Lawrence (Young)
Stribling has been hoisted into the
position of leading contender for
the heavyweight title? That ques-
ton may puzzle the laymen.
The answer is that Willie has cut
the apron strings which bound him
to Pa and Ma. He finally has
grown up.
Pa and Ma still are with Young
Stribling Pa transacts all the bust
ness and works in the boxers cor
ner. But Willie no longer pays at
tention to Pas instructions. He
fights his own fight.
If he had cut the apron strings
five years ago he probably would
have been established on the throne
long since.
