To SALES TAX

Pressure for a sales tax affect
ing many articles as a means of
helping to meet the huge Treas
TRY deficit grew in the House

Committee continued hearings on
a tax program.
Representative Crisp CD of
Georgia, acting chairman, served

FORMER ROCKNE SECRETARY WITH CHICK MEEHAN
Couldn't Carry on at South Bend Says Ruth Faulkner Expl a in s Rocks" Success

New York, Oct 4.-(UP)-Miss Ruth Faulkner, private secretary for the late Knute Rockne of Notre Dame, is now secretary to Coach "Chick" Meehan of Manhattan col lege, which she says twill be the Notre Dame of the east"
 Miss Faulkner left South Bend a few weeks after Rockne, the fa- nous football coach, was killed in an airplane crash a year ago last March.
 q was Rocks secretary for six years" she explained. "And il seemed that part of me died in the accident. I wanted to carry on, but I couldn't-so I left"
 Regret
 She refused offers to do a biog- raphy of Rockne because she couldn't bring herself to "commer. cialize the death of such a man. But later she wished she had writ ten one, after reading that sh' termed "the silly accounts" of hi life. :,
 Her hand writing was so simi lar to Rockne's that she signed al his letters and autographed hi! pictures, and many of these sigma lures now are treasured by col lectors.
 Miss Faulkner believes Rockne's great coaching success was due to: His understanding of boys, his use of psychology, his continuous study of football, the fact that he had more to teach than others, and be- cause the boys loved him.

New York, Oct 4 GU. P.) -
 The worlds most important lea ther trading post, Madison Square Garden, will open it's doors for fall patronage Friday evening with an engagement between Benny Leon ard, the old bald eagle of the Bronnix, and Jimmy McLarnin, the Vancouver boy who carries inno- cence on his face and death and destruction in both hands.
 The bout has more than It's share of intriguing angles. For one
 thing its marks the crossroads (patented) for both parties con- cerned. If Leonard loses he's out of the bigtime. He'll still be able to get bookings in the smaller clubs, but it's pretty tough to recoup a fortune with one night stands. And Leonard, you know, isn't in there throwing that left of his Cor rather what's left of it) out of love for the game. The urgent need of the old sugar is all that brought him
 back.
 Leonard will make more money than he ever dreamed of back in the day, when he was tops among the lightweights. It'll roll in from all sides exhibitions, vaudeville and lucrative bouts. Including one
 with Champion Jackie Fields. ..
 Just what McLarnin would do IT
 kicked by Leonard is problemat-
 ical. The odds are that Jimmy would quit. It's no secret that he's about ready to call 1t day, lick

 bout is the sentimental angle. Ac-

THE MARCHIONESS
 READY TO WIND
 UP TRACK CAREER

Goshen, N. r., Oct 4-While har- ness racing enthusiasts discussed the likelihood that trainer, Will Caton will send the Marchioness, leading money winning trotter of the current season, out to attack the worlds record for three-year- old Allies, there loomed the prob ability this week that American race fans have been the great trot- ter the lat time in active competi- ton.
 There is virtually no doubt among close observers that the Marchiones can and will lower the 1:59h record held jointly by Han overs and Charlotte Hanover. Meantime, it appears equally cer- tain that if she does, she probably will be retired from racing to be- gin 8 career as a brood mare. Her present record and the conditions of light harness racing leave only the prospect of competing in free fr-all races if she remains in &C., tive competition for her four-year- old campaign. In such events he would race for smaller purses and against many veterans horses. On the other hand her value as a brood mare now is at it's peak. officials of the Trotting Horse club of American pointed out.
 The Marchioness cleaned up ap- proximately $5O,OO0 in purses this summer in winning such events as the Championship Stallion Stake, The Habbletonian, the Horseman Stake, the Illinois State Fair Fut- urity and finally the traditional Kentucky Futurity last week at Lexington. The custom always has been to retire such top class flies to the breeding farms rather than permits them to continue rac- ing for smaller stakes.
 The Marchioness is by Peter Volo out of Margaret Arion and is a full sister to Protector, last years three-year-old champion. Whether Mrs Ralph R. Keeler, of Syracuse, owner of the Marchioness will keep her also is matter of specu- lation. Inasmuch as Mrs Keeler was not actively interested in rac- ing this wear, it is thought she may offer the Marchioness for sale

cording to the Gardens research and folk lore department, of which Walter St Denis is head man, Leonard has long been McLarnin's idol. That is, when Jeems was on I his way to mans estate he pattern ed himself after Benjamin. To some experts this is most important item, they arguing that Jeems will
 be reluctant to lay damaging rights and left on Benjamin's aging joWls. No one has as yet suggested that Leonard will hesitate before crack ing his young worshipper on the
 shoot.
 Another angle is the neat man. ner in which 1t will enable connois- seurs of the manly art to compare modern self defense with that of the old. In his day, Leonard was the boxer supreme. Recent ring warfare has seen few finer expo- nents of the jab, hook, counter, etc, than McLarnin. And ring followers love nothing more than to compare the past and the present. They're worse than bunch of women arguing the respective merits Of the hustle and the rumba skirt.

BLUEJACKETS BOOK
 ANSONIA ACORNS

New Haven, Conn, Oct - The Elm City Bluejackets appear to have their work cut out for them tomorrow night. The Ansonia Acorns, instead of being just am other small town club, showed fplenty of power in defeating the All Waterburys 6 to 0 yesterday. In common with all Valley teams that have come here to play in recent years, the Acorns are a rugged crew with a generous supply of take-and-give.
 Charley Jones. former Branford field general, who will direct the Jackets in future contests, some nine of which have been slated by Manager Jimmy Gleason, joined the club in the workout yesterday. The lack of scoring punch. evident in the first game with Torrington. was not in evidence as the backs went through an array of power plays.
 The local eleven will present the same line that opposed All-Torring- ton two weeks ago and with a much improved backfield. Improv- ment on the defense Is expected to be disclosed when they swing into action Wednesday. Buddy" How ard heavyweight boxer will do the booting and seems to improve with each game. Yesterday in practice his boots averaged from 4b to bQ yards against the wind and his well trained too is expected to keep the Valley boys on the run catching his long spirais.

IN The new rule which is causing most concern to football officials is one which forbids a defensive play CT from striking an opponent on the head, neck or face with palms of the hands, but permits the use of palms above the shoulders to ward off or push opponents while trying to get at the ball or the man carrying 1t.
 So far as the spectator is con- cerned. he will be able to detect this type of foul only'on rare occa- sions. and there may be consid- erable dissatisfaction with officials when they iIflict penalties on this
 To put it in a simple dress. the rule means that a defensive player can no longer make an onensiVe move with his hands. This will be a handicap to some teams which were noted for em- blowing their palms (not always open) on their opponents.

 The purposes of the New Eng land Conference are to create a tween the states; to regulate, sanc- tion and supervise interstate or New England tournaments Cor to refuse sanction), to promote scho- lastic sports interests among the member states. It will be modelled after the strong North Central Conference in the midwest.
 Following the Newport basket ball tournaments of 1881 and 1882 and other tournaments represented as New England tournaments, but in which certain New England States were not entered because the eligibility regulations were in variance with those of the Ma tional Federation of State High School Athletic associations Gin which Connecticut has member ship), MT Spencer and others fos- tered a movement for a New Eng land conference.

BasebalPS braWny ponce de leon admitted last night that he dis covered the fountain of youth" in the series and had decided to con- tinue playing indefinitely because he felt "too young to quit."
 In Reverse
 This announcement surprised baseball writers who were ready to ship him off to the Boston Red Sox or some other club as player-man- ager at the end of next season. Babe had promised positively" that he would quit at the end of 1893 because he was feeling the weight of his 38 years and 20 full years of professional baseball.
 Mrs Ruth was wrapping a new poultice on her husbands bruised right forearm while the big fellow talked of his plans. The arm had been struck by pitched ball dur ing the last game at Chicago.
 Honestly, I had intended quit ting at the end of next season." he said. But when I found out that I was just as good as the young buck in the series, It knocked the years right out from under me. And I felt so young again that ! changed my mind. The way I feel hOWs NC SOk C NOAPxO AAAoAV 5OON years in the old body - maybe three"

 "The Tanks are the heaviest hit ting team New York ever had, probably one of the greatest hit ting outfits in history. Lou Gehrig was the hero of the series. No, I don't know anyone who could be called the series goat.
 "Our pitching staff proved a shade better than the Cubs. Chi cago's great weakness was in hit ting. Yes, we expected their pitch | ing to be better than it was, I saw no difference in the National League ball we hit it as far as the American.
