A PAIR of knotty, bow legs
~ have kept frankie Genaro,

boxing champion, moving
through the fastest division In
fiStiana for IA years.
With his ring cunning OF 1922 fraz-
zled around the edges, his never-so.
return, and his stamina Of the days
when he exchanged gloves with Pancho
villa, that mighty brown skinned mite;
Phil Rosenberg, Pal Moore, Terry Mar
tin, gone beyond recall, Genaro has
carried on his ring warfare with nothing
more to keep him moving than q sturdy
pair of legs.
As Is the case with Sam Rice, the
Man O'War Of the Nationals out
field, and as was the case with Ty
Cobb, the American Leagues great
est pair Of legs, frankie has taken
care Of his underpinning In the be-
lief that when his walking ap-
paratus begins to show the strain Of
time and work he is ready for the
trip out
And, like Cobb and Rice, Frankies
method Of taking care Of his propelnng
machinery Is not one Of exercise, rub
downs and ointments but the simple
one Of taking care of his health.
Sam Rice takes care Of his driving
power by rest, diet and temperate exer-
else. Cobb did likewise. And when time
took pot shots at Tyrus' legs he tossed
his glove over the fence and went out
with the 5 o'clock whistle.

pened.
And Genaro, though he still can
deave in and out Of trouble with most
Of the boys Of today, knew back In 1929
that his legs were not so strong as they
used to be. He was sure OF 1t later
when he met Jose Perez and Fidel La
Barba.
But Frankie still IS mutton In the
stew. He can get lot of power out
Of his shin machinery, and when they
do give way for the final count, he
will be the first to know It. Bet on

Frankie Is 80 years of age. He i

1918 In New York. In 1919, he IN.
nexed the New York State amateur
boxing title for hyweishts. During the
following year, his last - an amateur,
he took the Metropolitan A. A. q. crown
In both the 100 and liz pound claeges'
He repeated by taking the National A

in 1920, he did not get real action until
q year later, when he met Johnny Ros-
ner and boys of that type. In 1922 he
defeated Phil Rosenberg, Pancho Villa,
Terry Martin and Jack Sayles. Later
he won over Carl Tremaine, Bobby
Wolgast and Pal Moore.
Through Frankie's record run the
names Of the great fyweights and
banties of the early '20s: Eddie Lynch,
Kid Wolf, Abe Goldstein, Johnny Shep-
pard, Bushy Graham, Irish Johnny
Curtin. Hilly Levine, Eddie O'Dowd,
Kid williams, Frenchy Belanger, Jack
Sharkey, Rudy Taylor and then Midget
Wolgast and Spider Pladner.
These names wonld chase the fy-
heights and the bonties Of today
back to couer. But Frankie, too,
had to hit couer himself in 1929
phen he walked from his corner
in the first round OF title fight
yith Emil Pladner to haze the
latter slip ouer kayo punch before
the customers got settled.
Then came other reverses from
Perez, La Barba and draw earlier with
Midget Wolgast. The old legs were not
as nimble, and Frankie was having
trouble In getting away from the fast
express.
But from his amateur days onward,
Genaro has been q colorful fighter. He
was fast, not such . hitter, but we'll
balanced with stamina and cleverness.
He Il, by far, the best piece Of fighting
machinery booked for Alexandria. Yet
he is years behind his best form, and
at q stage where only a fair youngster
might reach him.
Genaro IL closing his ring career
with head and feet-out- thinking
'em, and moving away from trouble
with sturdy pair Of legs.

SPORTS SUBSIDIES

Southern Investigation Apt
to Be Much Sharper Than
Middle States.
BY LAWRENCE FERRY.

n YEW YORK, January "a
M Something very drastic Is
/ Y brewing in Southern in
tercollegiate athletics. It
relates to the investigation of con-
ditions which the Southern Con-
ference has asked the Southern
Association of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools to make concern
ing the conduct of sports in that
section.
Now this association is the educa-
tional standardizing organization for
the entire South.
In calling attention a few days ago
to the action Of the Southern Confer
ence, the writer's impression was that
the investigation will cover only the
schools Of the Southern Conference.
This IS not at all the case. The in
vestigation will be thorough and COM
prehensive.
It will include, among other institu-
tions. the l3 colleges and universities
which withdrew from the parent body,
the Southern Conference. And look out
for fireworks.
THE difference between the investiga-
L ton which the Southern Confer
ence has asked the Southern As
sociation to conduct and the athletic
scholarship ban which the Middle States
Association Of Colleges and Secondary
Schools has Just reaffirmed Is very ma
terial and extremely important.
Action In the South results from the
initiative Of an important group Of COL
leges coming under the Jurisdiction of
the standardizing body in Dixie, where

END Of ELECTORAL
COLLEGE PLANNED
Campaign for Constitution
Change Held Gaining
Recruits.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A new campaign to change the Con-
Stitution-this one aimed at the Elec-
toral Colleges gaining recruits In
Congress.
What these men seek Is to do away
with the Electoral College and let the
minority as we'll as the majority votes in
each State show when the final roll on
the election of President is called.
Possibly indicative Of how Congress
will receive the proposal Is the type OF
men who back it. One is Senator Nor
ris, independent Nebraska Republican
and co-author Of the recently ratified
lame duck amendment. Another Is
Representative Lea Of California, chair
man Of the Democratic House caucus.
Seek Minority Representation.
Leas idea briefly is that minorities in
presidential elections should be repre-
sented when the electoral vote is tailed
at the joint session of House and Sem
ate. Under the present law, a presiden-
tial candidate who receives the ma jor-
ity OF popular votes in any State gets
all of that States electoral votes. Lea
would divide the electoral votes In the
same proportion as the popular votes
were split.
Thus, Herbert Hoover, instead of
getting no electoral votes in New York
for the 1885, 900 ballots cast for him
IN that State at the last election would
have received 1873, Franklin D. Roose-
welt 24.9l and Norman Thomas 1.4l.
In 1882" Lea said, Hoover re-
ceived 2,150,000 votes in States he car
ried and which gave him 50 electoral
votes. He received in all nearly 49,
100000 votes ana over l3,600, 900 Of
those votes brought him no electoral
vote whatever"
Vote Under New Plan.
As the last election finally was tabu-
lated, Roosevelt received AZ electoral
votes, Hoover SO and Thomas none.
Under Lea's plan, Roosevelt would have
received 324.66, Hooer 1892 and
Thomas 68l
THE fundamental evil Of our pres
ent unit voting system" Lea said, 'is
that you disfranchise the minority:
whether the minority is 10 per cent
or 40 per cent, it is disfranchised. 1t
is an embezzlement Of votes; it does
not simply cancel votes, 1t appropriates
them to q different purpose than that
for which they were cast"
Norris already has introduced a bill
enlbodying his idea of the change
needed, and Lea expects to press the
plan in the next House when emer-
gency legislation Is out Of the way.

Grover Cleveland was the patron saint
Of Democracy, Dear made his entry into
the world just when neighbors of his

looked for a time as If there would be
two boys in that neighborhood named
Grover Cleveland" but the families
compromised by splitting the difference
and the other boy was called Grover"
while Baby Dear got the more historical

here, has urged on the new admins
tration direct currency expansion. Such
q program, he contended, was neces-
sary to restore values Of commodities
and raw materials.
Declaring the currency policy OF the
last administration "fallacious and de-
flationary" and as tending to create
more debts and taxes" Harriss as
serted. I'VE now have wonderful op-
portunity to put this direct currency
expansion into effect while we have an
embargo against the expectation and
payment Of gold"
With direct currency expansion, he
said, Congress could permit the issuance
OF q larger number Of dollars against
the ounce Of gold. The excessive buy
ing power of the present dollar" he
declared had blocked economic recov-
cry, adding his belief that there could
be no "semblance of prosperity in our
country until the price Of commodities,
raw materials and other values is re-
stored to the approximate level where
the existing stupendously inflated debts
and taxes were incurred"

 ECONOMIC DEADLOCK

AT SEA WITH PR ESIDENT T ROOSEVELT, June 21. Assistant Secretary of State Raymond Moley Tuesday hopped into a seaplane, flew out to sea for a conference with President Franklin Roosevelt, who is on a vacation-rest trip.
 The President immediately went into a huddle with Secretary Mo- ley, who made the flight as re- suit of the London Economic Con- ference deadlock.
 The conference at sea is gen. erally taken to presage new life for the somewhat stumbling Lon don barley and the results of his contact with the president may be felt even before Moley reaches London. He was to sail for England today.
 Washington is still of the opin- ion that there is no hurry for stab ilization and will not even consider returning ot the gold standard un- til they are certain it will work.

NEW YORK, June 20. While other folks complain about high temperatures Capt. Bob Bartlett does something about it and as a result he is en route to the Arc tic to enjoy it's cooling breezes. He sailed from New York City Mon- day on the schooner Morrisey for an unannounced destination in the North. He will be gone for several moths.
 It is Capt. Bartlett's intention to explore territory hitherto unexplor- ed by white man. Capt. Bartlett will be remembered as one of the members of the Perry expedition of 1909 as we'll as several Arctic exploits since that time.
