I Am One Of Those Who Be

Has Become Obsolete o.
Impractical.
NEW YORK, June 6.-We enter
l ' the month Of conventions with
no great issue in sight, no definite
line Of cleavage between the two
major parties. no chance 10 express
ourselves on the various questions Of
public policy which have arisen as
result of depression.
Prohibition has failed to produce a
stand by one party which could be
distinguished from that Of the other.
The Republicans will indorse a lib
eral dry plank, or a conservative wet
plank, as you prefer to call 1t. The
Democrats will charge them with
pusillanimity and then do exactly
the same thing.
As to the tar1n, power, Russian
recognition, farm relief, disarma-
ment, and host Of other important
matters the political leaders have
logrolled, compromised, traded and
stalled, until neither party can make
an honest, coherent declaration.
What mockery Of American in
telhgence and the democratic form
Of government! The greatest repub-
lie on earth is about to put on its
quadrennial strut, with the usual
drive for campaign funds and the
usual organizations to spend them;
with tons Of speeches and pamphlets
for the postoffice to handle; with
the cry that all citizens should vote,
and, if they lack the interest to do
so by themselves, that means should
be provided to drag them to the
polls. And what is it all about?

1T is not only reasonable. but in

system should endeavor to instill
in the minds of the scholars a
knowledge and understanding Of
American history and of American

It seems to me a mistake to tell the
young that everything the United
States ever has done always was
right in policy and principle.
1t would not be impossible, for
instance, to put before a class the
words and arguments of those great
ones who opposed such adventures
as the Mexican war and the war
with Spain. It seems to me that
history never should fall in the
narrow field of eulogy.

MAX'S AIM
By LES CONKLIN

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-MaX
Schmeling, temporarily thrown out
Of employment by abandonment
of his scheduled heavyweight title
bout with Mickey Walker next
month, looked forward today to a
match with Jack Dempsey next
summer.
Joe Jacobs, manager of the
champion, announced he would
await the arrival of Leonard
Sachs, Dempsey's business man
ager, to. discuss a Schmellng-
Dempsey bout. Sachs declared IN
st. Louis yesterday that the old
champion would fight either
Schmeling or Primo Carnera some
time this year.
Miami Bout Off
The Understanding match,
scheduled for Miami on February
rs, was slated to be formally
signed late yesterday after weeks
of negotiations. but was called off
by Jacobs at the eleventh hour
when he came to the belated re-
lization that the affair would be
a financial flop.
Madison Square Garden. which
was to have promoted the bout
through one of it's subsidiaries,
feared from the start that the
fight would draw little else but
flies. But Jacobs would not ad-
NIT as much until yesterday when
he received a confidential report
from Prof. Billy McCarney, his
trusted associate. who has been
sizing up prospects in Miami.
Walker Loses Chance
Walker appears to have lost all
chance Of getting a crack at the
title. Jacobs was prattling idly
last night about Chicago, Pnlla-
delphia, Los Angeles and Atlantic
City wanting the Mickey-Max
scrap. But Chicago and Los
Angeles both have rejected Jacobs
demand for a 5000. 900 guarantee.
Schmeling is under suspension
in New York and cannot fight
Dempsey here And Madison
Square Garden will not promote
the match through one of its
subsidiaries unless Dempsey will
first take on some trial horse like
Tom Heeney or Johnny Risko In
a test bout.

Landers Digs in

With the knowledge he was
"way over his head" and that
he had nothing to win, not even
the title, Landers made" the
show by digging into his super
opponent, never backing up for
an instant, and constantly sail
ing into a man he knew he
didn't have a Chinaman'S
chance to defeat.
We have all seen many a bout
ruined because the underdog
fought as if he had an inferi-
ority complex. Landers did just
the opposite. He fought as
though he might get in a hay.
maker if he kept on trying, and
his courage and tactics in the
face of the impossible deserves
to be recorded with a little extra
emphasis.
All of which is not by way Of
trying to take anything away
from Wolgast, a champion in
every sense of the word. We
can't recall ever seeing boxer
so adept at hitting and getting
away. They say Leonard could
do this very adroitly, but it was
never our good fortune to see
Benny in action. Tunney, for a
big man, could get in his lickS
and be away as Smartly as most
of them, but that is a small
mans forte and Wolgast exem-
plifies it perfectly.

D. K. FOR TWO,
NOTFORONE,
SAYS BABE

NEW YORK, Jan. l4.-Babe
Ruth received a new contract
today offering him $4,000 to
play ball for the Yankees in
1882.
His salary last year was 100000.
Ruth's comment was;
THE $4,000 sounds o. X.
provided it Is for two years.
But 1t happens to be one year
and that does not make it
o. X. But I'm not worrying
about 1t and you'll have to
excuse me because I've got to
play golf with a guy that
think 1 can beat, and he
likes to play for $5 a round"
Reduction Is Low
The reduction was less than
had been anticipated by the
guesserS. Many anticipated that
the top offer to Ruth would be
$60,000 and the consensus OF
opinion was $4,000.
Col. Jacob Rupert, owner of
the Yankees, was credited in
some quarters with showing un.
usual liberality toward Ruth but
the home run king no doubt will
enter into some conferences with
Rupert with the hope of getting
$4,000 for 1892 or a two-year
contract calling for $4,000 in
1882 and 1888.
Long Term Contract
What Ruth is most anxious to
get is a long term contract at
a fancy wage. 1t is believed if
he could get a three-year con-
tract for $180.00O-a salary of
100000 per year-he would be
fully satisfied.
However, Rupert will not
agree to a three-year deal, it was
held. He may, if it is impos-
sible to sign Ruth otherwise, give
him a two-year contract, but the
real likelihood is that one year
at $4,000 or perhaps $4,000 is
the best that Ruth may expect.

The others include Dave Har-
ris, who was player number one
to affix his signature on the
dotted line; OSsie Bluege and
Joe Kuhel.
Much is expected of Weaver
this year. Worked almost to ex-
haustion by the Orioles during
1881 because Of their efforts to
land the International League
pennant, Weaver has had a long
winter of rest and is figured to
be a big help to his new club
in its 1882 battle for American
League honors.
A small salary cut was taken
by Crowder in his contract. He
expressed his belief in a letter,
however, that he was in fine
physical trim and ready to win
from the opening gong.
Griff added another pitcher
