Eagles Again Display Class
In Drubbing S,Uedes, 1920

n DAD basket ball quints, which
- like to point to their past VIC
tories in scheduling games on

profiting at the expense of the Skinker
Eagles, Washingtons premier cagers of
1880, who triumphed yesterday over
Olsons Swedes.

than fall two baskets shy.

Stribling is the choice for the bout
in Miami. A good choice it is, too.
There are certain portions of the
South where Willie Stribling is the only
heavyweight of whom the inhabitants
have ever heard. In other localities
any heavy aside from Stribling is just
somebody for the Georgia glove thrower
to knock out.
Now, in spite of the fact that you
can sell many of your high-priced1 seats
to the Northern suckers-excuse me, I
mean customers-from Palm Beach,
Miami Beach and adjoining Winter
colonies, you must also fill the remain
der of your arena and fill it with fairly
local homesteaderS. Willie Stribling is
therefore necessity, even though the
money he demands makes him luxury.
To match Stribling with Sharkey
would be to increase interest in the
match Madison Square Garden proposes
to hold later in New York, because the
winner would furnish an opponent for
Max Schmeling, who has been resting
ever since he sat down on the floor in
the so-called title bout. And, If the
Garden rents its Miami arena to Frank
January Bruen and permits him to put
on Stribling with Camera, there might
be more money in it for all concerned.

He played with the New York club

Fading Legs.

Fading Legs.
TEENE FITZPATRICK, Princeton's
n noted trainer, recently sounded a
true note, joining with Justin Huntley
Mccarthy in the query, Where are the
legs of yeSterday?"
1t is Keene's idea that the human leg
through lack of use, is losing its old
strength and power. The world proba-
bly, has no more important contribution
to the welfare of the race than the au-
tomobile. 1t has even been largely re-
Sponsible for the wide development of
sport. But it was not invented to carry
youth everywhere that youth has to go,
from 200 yards to a mile. There has
undoubtedly been a big falling off in
walking and running, in the general use
OF legs. This Is one reason there are so
many leg injuries during a foot ball
season and why so few distance runners
are developed in the various universe
ties.
Il have seen this change coming on
for some time" Keene Fitzpatrick said
a short time ago. 1T has been marked
in college spoprts. Modern youth isn't
walking and running enough, isn't
making enough use of leg power to get
around. This increased leg exercise is
vital need in the physical develop
ment of today's boys and girls, today's
young men and young women"
Paavo Nurmi had to walk or run 10
home, total of 20 or more miles. This
was the EXCISE that through two
Olympics gave him more distance
championships from 1900 to 10000
meters than any runner has ever
known. He had built up the right leg
strength in his younger days.
Keene Fitzpatrick is right. Take
base ball. In the old days such play
ers as Ty Cobb, Hans Wagner, Larry
from 81 to % years in the big leagues,
and they were all big men. There are
not SO many 20-year players around
now. Their legs have given out Gene
Tunney spent many years building up
his legs. And it was this leg strength
that helped him to get off the floor in
the last Dempsey fight and dance out
Of range until he had recovered his
bearings This was no gift from nature
to Tunney. 1t was the result of seven
or eight years of hard work on the
road, walking and running.
Tilden's Retirement.
TT is quite possible that Bill Tilden
l. might have come back for one more
year to make a bold bid for the
tennis championship of the United
States, but it would have been harder
row than last year. with so many young
stars in the road. They have gained
a years experience. and Tilden has lost
another year of youth.
At any rate, the tall Philadelphia
has piled up one of the greatest records
in the history of sport.
It will be interesting to see whether
another can take as definite leadership
Of the courts in the next few seasons.

IORRIS WHITE in
MASS DISMISSAL

NEW YORK. - In his first open
attempt to throw the 165 workers Of
the White Luggage Co., Inc, into
the streets and then reorganize the
shop with reduced forces and cut
wages, Morris White, the boss. had
letters sent to the workers telling
them to call for their tools. This is
tantamount to dismissal and is the
elimination of whole series of ma
neuvers to reorganize the shop.
This attack comes after four
months of unemployment for the
workers when the bosses thought the
men we're sufficiently starved and
would not struggle. The policy of
the right wing officials of the Suit
Case, Bag and Portfolio Makers I'm
ion. Local %, is that of sympathy
with Morris Whites reorganization
schemes, with the elimination of left
wing workers fitting in with their
plans. Their action in overthrowing
the militant shop committee and
putting up former shop chairman
prepared the way for this wholesale
dismissal
