The fistic sortie of New England talent into the middle west was distressing, indeed, what with Christopher Battalino of Hartford failing completely in a self-sacrifi- ing effort to transfer the feather title to Freddy Miller in Cinein- nati and Lou Brouillard, the Wor- cester walloper. dropping the well ter crown to Jackie Fields in Chi cago.
 The results of both expeditions were the same, in so far as loss of title was concerned, thereby turn ing out as forecast by number of our suspicious experts.
 Those who are supposed to know about these things told me quite frankly that it was Jack Fields turn to take over the welter title again but at least Brouillard put up good fight, satisfactory ap- parently to the customers.
 On the other hand, Battalino's readiness to assume reclining position brought nothing but booes from the crowd, a referees ruling of "no-contest" in the third round and fine of $5,000, enough to cover the reimbursement of the misled patrons.
 Yet it was only a few weeks ago that Battalino, hailed as one of the few fighting champions worthy of the name, was being boomed for a lightweight title bout with Tony Canzoneri in New York.

Boley is a natural consequence of the veteran shortstop's replacement last season by bib Williams and represents no change in policy. There are few other possibilities of alteration, or reasons therefor.
 Simmonsy Earnslaw, Cochrane, and Grove, the Big Four" have ready gone into training. Connie Mack himself will be among the first at Fort Myers The airing of : contract difficulties, if any, has been tabooed by the veteran pilot.
 Revenge
 The general impression one gath- CTS from the As stronghold is, in short, that they were outlucked and outguessed in the last worlds series with the Cardinals; that they feel quite chagrined about 1t all; but that it won't happen again, at least this year.
 We hope it's so and that next falls classic unfolds a pitching duel between big George Living ston Earnshaw and loud Jerome 6Dizzy) Dean.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-This
man Dawes, whose job is to breathe
life into the new $2,OOO,OO0 900 re-
construction finance corporation, is
a demonstrated master at such
things.
He is the only living man, for
instance, who is known to have
shaken a broom in the faces of a
president and his cabinet. 1t was
Dawes way of dramatizing such
tedious, unSpectacular task as
budget reduction.
Dawes had just been made direc-
tor of the budget by the late Presi-
dent Harding. He induced presi-
dent, cabinet and all bureau chiefs
70 attend mass meeting.
1t was a torrid June day Hard
ing was in a palm beach suit
Dawes wore a two-inch choking
collar and a loose gray suit, the
sleeves hanging down half way over
, his hands. Assembled government
, bureau chiefs, little cars of their
! corners in the great government
departments were cynical about
this shouting, gesticulating figure
who proposed to make them cut
I expenses.
| Dawes, to show them all officials
| looked alike, turned on Sec
retary of State Hughes, austere,
thinking of high tional
problems, and chided him for fail
ing to send in the name of the
state department budget officer
Il hope the secretary will do it
/ tomorrow" Dawes said.
He chided Secretary Mellon for
/ like negligence He warmed up OH
/ economy, swinging his arms around
his head, shouting shrilly, stalking
up and down like Billy Sunday.
Then he seized a broom which
/ he had brought into the room with
/ him.
He shook it at Harding and the
/ cabinet, demanding to know why
one department paid twice as m tlh
! for that broom as another de-
partment. Some cabinet members
laughed. Others looked startled.
Harding smiled.
/ Dawes had just made his ma
tional reputation a few months
before. 1t was not for his able
management of supplies for the
! A.EF. 1t was not for profound
acts of craftsmanship. He made
his reputation by swearing. He was
hauled before a Republican con-
gressional investigating committee
and questioned about his handling
of AEF. supplies.
Hell and Maria!' he shouted
shocking a row of elderly lady
spectators. I'VE were winning
war. We weren't keeping books.
That studied hard-boied perform
ance laughed the war post mortem
into futility and made Dawes. His
swearing, his curious underhung
pipe, became national and interna-
! tional legend

night foiled the efforts of three
men to pass a bogus $40 bill on a
Brawley merchant. according to a
report to the sheriff's office from
the Brawley police department.
This is the second time within
two days motorists have attempted
to pass counterfeit bills in Imperial

attempted to pass a bad $40 bill
on two service stations in FL Cen

Like the men who operated here
the three men in Brawley escaped
