Missing Mr.. Cohan

After some brilliant successes the movies have made
colossal mistake They have failed to make use of
George M. Cohan. l that as in the case of
Ensen the great Russian director the difficulties
many; am sure that it not easy to fit Mr. Cohan
into the movie scheme. But the point s that if the
movies going to grow and not be what Mr.. Nathan
calls the mooing pctures, their scheme ought to be
Cohans the serious, for he is astounding
figure the who knows about the popular stage
than any other in America, prime actor, brilliant
director and man who ought to have fitted perfectly
into the movies picture.
Mr.. Cohans report of his miseries in Hollywood are
like the accounts of many others who had to leave the
land of sunshine and money. He assured of work,
and when he reported for work they gave him pay
check 1t bad enough that the story being
every hour every day until they got down to high
school sophomores. What Mr. Cohan could not bear was
that while he idle people kept asking him. what do
you care? You're getting paid aren't you?" 1t
occurred to them that a with the distinguished
abilities of George NJ Cohan actually wants to do his
work and is unhappy if he is not doing it.
There number-I am told growing number-of
intelligent people in Hollywood but until all the heads of
all the studios understand what in Mr.. Cohans mind
the index of Wall Street prices for movie stocks will be
proper index to the movies.
Moreover Mr. Cohan has said something for statesmen
to consider. Mr.. Hoover and his friends have sworn
again and again that their first duty is to that
hungers goes cold shelteress in America Little
has been done; little more will be done. But they
ought to know that there is pleasure in working that
people really like their jobs; and that deprived of
work for three years unhappy if they have
bowl of soup and bed. One of the things feel our
selves entitled to is occupation We aren't likely to
feel tender to those who deprive of that satisfaction

suppose my impulse to laugh at the idea is sound
as the impulse people had few years ago to eer at
Darwin or the Wright brothers. But make little of
this new school only because it gives itself to be so
unmportant limiting itself to business If the laboratory

ought to proceed to a much wider field. Why should
any of us be content with the and miserable little
personalities we have when have them changed

only for business when other-more persona-relatons
are begging for the helping hand of the psychological

sEMI-PRO FLOURISH

The flourishing condition o( semi-pr baseball in Brooklyn proves that the game has lost none of it's fascination for the public, if a good spectacle is of fered and the price is right.
 On a recent evening crowd estimated at between l5,OOo and 10000 persons jammed Dexter Park, in East Brooklyn, to see a fast semi-pro game and l am told such crowds are not uncommon. Admission is 30 and 55 cents, tax included. Games are played some times as often as four times d week.
 With the breakup of the East- ern league several young players with no major league or other minor league affiliations ted up with semi-pro teams through the East, several of them lolhhs Brooklyn teams, and the grace ol play is fully as high as that oi an organized minor of I'd" clasSih- cation. Several of the players ar making as much playing only thfet or -four times week now as tlel were working seven days Weei on salary inside the league

SPORT SLzANTS (AA41! so!0)

The American Legion is doing a fine thing for the yougsters of the United States and for base ball, in conducting this year for the sixth time it's national junior baseball tournament.
 A national program was first undertaken Tn 1926, with Yonkers, N. r., winning the championship. There was no organized national competition in 1927 but it was resumed the next year and has been continued since. A team representing Oakland, California won in 1928. Buffalo in 1929, Bal timore in 1880 and South Chicago last year.
 With civic recreational programs tending more toward golf and less toward sandlots baseball the Le- zion tournament has done much to keep baseball the favorite game of young America.

MINORS NEED KNIFE

Branch Hickey, astute manager of the St. Louis Cardinals chain store system of baseball, who should know says that the failure of several minor leagues this year vas not due to loss of interest by the fans but to failure of tho management to take proper &C., count of changed economic can ditfons.
 Not long ago I attended a ban quet at Elmira, N. Y. where the Cardinals have a club" Rickey said. "The hall was filled with citizens from every walk of life. The presence of these men was tribute to professional baseball since it was baseball gathering and nothing else.
 'There is no lack of interest in baseball. It has been affected 5y an economic depression, but it lis no different from any other business. The minors must meet the changing conditions with d more economic program. They must reorganize on a strictly busi- necc basis, taking care that the expenditures are no greater than the income
 Economies, of course, must be make in players salaries, Hickey said, but he pointed out that there were many other ways in which the minors can and have not trimmed their sails Many minor league clubs, he said, annually pur- chase much more equipment than they have any need for and spend money foolishly in other ways.

But he wasn't able to make any of these things count heavily. Mur- phy was too fast and too clever with his hands. He landed twice as many blows as Gordon, but the latter's did the most damage. It is doubtful if Miles could have lasted two more rounds.
 Gordon's best round was the second when he pummeled Miles savagely about the head with both hands. He was warned several times for hitting on the back of the head, a blow resembling the rabbit punch. The first third and fourth were even. In the fifth Murphy had slight edge. He landed several times with lefts and rights to the jaw. A hard right to the mouth knocked Cor oon's rubber tongue guard loose and it almost fell to the canvas. In a rush to the ropes, Gordon hit Miles twice in rapid success sion. both blows falling low. They were plainly accidental, however Both times Murphy winced and showed he was in pain.
 Rally Is Blocked
 Gordon came out with rush in the sixth, apparently determ- ined to make a killing. Miles met him half way and for the entire three minutes, they slugged with both hands. Neither could land effectively. Miles jarreo Gordon off balance with his one two attack to the head several times, Gordon countered with 3 savage body attack, occasionally mixing it with a powerful right e~r the head which Murphy had little trouble blocking or duck 1 ing.
 Watson Tough Baby
 Billy Watson, substituting foi Young Richmond in the ssmi-fi- nal, may never win any boxing medals, but he certainly proved 1 he is one tough baby. Hulse hlr l him with everything but the ring posts and water bottles and Billy merely grinned and stuck out his tongue derisively at Graney. Hulse flattened Billy in the first but the latter came up without wait | ing for a count, smiling and try ling to bore in. He never had a chance.
 In the second, Hulse alternatec lefts and rights to the head with metholical precision. He drovc Watson to the ropes in the lat ter's own corner and as he hung there, Graney peppered him with everything he had. Watson hung on grimly to the top rope. help less, but still on his feet. Referee Billy Franks stepped in and stop ped the slaghter, giving the bout to Hulse. He was booed some for his action, but there wasn't any thing else for him to have done

MURPHY, GORDON FIGHT TO DRAW IN AL, SMOKER
Vets Stage Finest Smoker in Years Local Boy
 Retains His Crown

Before one of the largest crowds Of the year, Miles Murphy Satur- day night staved off Dick Gordon, Beldngham, and retained his mid dleweight crown of the Territory after six rounds of the most tor rid fighting ever seen here. The decision of a draw was unanimous
 The bout was the final of five thrillers on the American Legion card, probably the bloodiest miXup ever staged by the Vets Graney Hulse won the -windup from Billy Watson by technical knock out and Sam Nelson kayoed George Popovich, both happening ill the second round. Eddie Mur- phy romped home an easy win ner over Slugger Weaver. Leon- ard Stokes and Ed. Nelson open ed the show with a bloody cur tain-raiser.
 Proves Can Take It
 Miles Murphy set at rest any doubts any of the fans may have about his ability to stand up un- der hard punishment and battlt on. Gordon pounded away at the local lads head and body, SCOT ing many times. Twice he shot jolting right-handed pokes square ly over Miles heart, stopping him short, but both times the latter came right back to mix it roughly and fight .lis way out of danger ous situations
 Miles showed no signs of let down at any stage of the scrap He finished in slugging rally standing toe to toe with Gordon to match punches with him witk- out any indication of weakness But when the ball ended the bat tie, Miles was tired boy. After he shook hands with Gordon and the latter had left the ring, Miles sank to his stool in the corner and it was many minutes before he recovered sufficiently to go te his dressing room. Neither fight e. carried more than a few red dish marks to show for the six rounds of milling.
 Nine Pound Handicap
 Murphy gave away nine pounds to Gordon. He weighed 158 ano Gordon 167. The latter was taller and had the advantage in reach

naires uncovered the most prom ising young boxer in years. Fight ing his first ring battle, he showed cool, clear head, good boxing skill, fine footwork, and the .abil- ity to hit. He was good enough ia his first try to shade the vet eran Slugger Weaver, and richly deserved the decision voted him unanimously by the judges.
 Eddie is long and rangy. He had a decided advantage of length of reach on Weaver and was clever enough to make good use of it. He kept the Slugger off without great deal of difficulty.
 The first round was even, neith- e.. showing more than few fan cy dance steps. Eddie took the second easily, scoring lefts and rights to both the head and body. A right to the body toppled Wea- yer to the canvas but he was up like a flash, undamaged. Murphy also took the third, holding Wea- yer off with straight iefts and landing several times with his right hand.
 The fourth in which the boys mixed savagely, was evenly divid- ed. Murphy led slightly in both the fifth and sixth round. Eddie didn't have a spot on him at the finish. Weaver's body carried sev- eral abrasions where Murphy con- nected solidly.
 Pcpovich Game Loser
 Popovich lost gamely to Sammy Nelson. Sammy fooled the wise guys by starting with rush that had George beaten before the match was fairly under way He landed at will to the body and head with both hands. He floor ed Popovich in the first round bloodied his nose and planted ar egg over his right eye.
 The second round lasted about one minute. Nelson swarned al oyer Popovicfl. He closed his righ' eye completely and left only narrow slit in the left. He split his lip and flattened his nose With George still on his feet more by instinct than anything else, virtually sightless and unable to do more than wave his arms feebly in Nelson's direction, Ref cree Sperling raised Nelson's hand signifying a knockout.
 Good Curtain Raiser
 The fans had Unelr appetites whetted for the blood to come by the battle royal staged by Stokes and Nelson in the curtain-raiser These lads threw gloves at tht rate of 60 per minute. They came from all points of the compass and landed almost every time They bloodied each others nose! and blackened eyes in regulation fashion. They fought as if thel liked to, and the draw decisio, was well placed.
