New York, Jan 5--Beset by q lot of problems, tho most import ant which concerns money, Proxy Bob Quinn of tho Boston Red Box now finds himself with the worlds biggest caters on his hands.
 The Sox, q patched-up ball club, probably will win no pennant next year, but Nr Quinn will know that ho has fine bunch of upstandins me his team who he takes hts first squlnt at the spring training dining room checks.
 To start with, there's Rob Roy Forthcrgill, acquired from the White Sox by trade. Fat weighs between 230 and 240. That 23O is tho scale reading before lunch, Bucky Harris, who uso dto super viso the rorthergill feeding at De- troit, will testify that Fotherslll always could put on 10 pounds by eating meal unless the young ma nwas III. And ho never was sick 0 day in his life.
 Tn an adjoining outneld the Bos- ton customers will behold J. Smead Jolley, weight between 21G and 220. Jolloy is one of those tall gents whose appearance is decoiv. ing but he loves his broccoli. and after watching him perform a' table indicates that tho scales must bo right.
 In another outneld will be found Bob Seeds. formerly of Cleveland and the White Sox, and 1t will be Just too bad if this little 190-pound ix-footer ever collldes with Foth.

 New York, Jan b-(UP)--l nave just seen tho most pathetic ngure
 in the world. A girl who sits in a biz hotel room, wlstfully twisting
 n Handkerchief in nervous fingers and secretly wishing she were
 back homo in Texas. She hates the interviews she has to give, under the goading Of n wise i. cracking, go-getting press agent. She despises the women re- porters who fiaunt their own clev- erness in he' face, and seek to dis- sect. probe and penetrate the secret rccesses of her heart--in apecies of feminine post-mortem. Shc abominates the ballyhoo and tho pretcnse of professionalism
 into which, unhappily, she has
 been forced.
 She wants to be everything that present circumstances, against ner will, have prevented making her: She wants to be m amateur, and
 sho is q professional.
 She wants to be wholly, utterly feminine, n muscle-less lass' a
 rounded example of fapperdom,
 clothed in friily fripperies. Instead she IA comfortable and at ease only in the sweaty. stained working togs of an atheltc. And her female
 interviewers, with their verbal
 scalpcls, make the most of It. :, think Babe Didrikson could
 come close to making her wants. her desires. her human longinss

 stead, she is hedgcd in by circum-

 those persons, who. with their pig talk of big money, influenced her to toss away her amateur stand

 "Of course 1t was! You're on ton of the world" This from her com bination manager and press agent, and delivered In the best slap on-the back manner.
 But you knew she didn't believe him. You had only to talk with the lean, sum -parched Texas girl for minutes to know that money. need 1t though she may, will never take the place of competition. Ana that riches---if she gets thcm--wiil be scart compensation for the loss of such thrills as the sight or n javeiip winging past the little white board that marks tho record, that final, desperate surge In the 100, or long looping shot that careens craziiy around the rim of | the basket and then-.-swissshhhhh!

The huge, brown haired Polish boy ranked the heavies to make sure fight fans will know that it's King Pin Poreda" beatnig Ernie Schaaf of Boston tomorrow night In their Hereunder at Madison Square Garden.
 Tho six-footer announced his rankings orally here at Joe Jean- etts gymnasium, where he tapered off training. His rapid fire, non- stop talking and supreme egotism challenged Champion Jack Shar- key.
 Hooray for Me!
 The 23-year old mauler listed his fighting men as follows:
 "C) Poreda. I've got the class the boxing ability, the punch, the ruggedness and youth to make a genuine champion. I don't kid myself that these other guys are so hot, because l know they're not.
 "(2) Sharkey. I figure any smart high school boy should beat him. He blows up in tho ring because he's tomperamental. Tunney could have killed him. fight like Tpn- ney. Use q little intelligence, get Sharkey nettled--and he's a goner.
 "(3) Baer. He's the hardest hit- ter in the lot, but he's got no con- trol over his punches. Too wild. A good boxer can chop him down be- cause wild man leaves himself open. But, he's always dangerous If a fellow gets careless and steps into q wild punch.
 "(D Schaaf. Has an excellent body for n fighter--built like q statue. But the works inside his head don't tick fast enough. l figure to knock him out Why. Stanlslaus! "(5) Schmeling. You asked why schmcllng didn't beat sharkey if Sharkey's not so hot. That's easy. Schmelings palooka. l made him look sick training with him, and they chased me out of his camp.
 During his oration Poreda used a pretty fair brand of English. picked up in three years of high school and on several white-col- lar jobs since then.
 Joe Jeanette, famous old-time colored heavyweight, was the man who saw possibilities in Poreda and induced him to enter tho ring Since then Poroda had 43 Tights losing three by decisions and one by q knockout to Salvatore Ruggl- rello.

We are In receipt this week of a
letter from the Western Division

Assn for the repeal OF tho 18th
Amendment, signed by j. G. Herbs.
man, asking for statement of the
attitude of the News-Record on the
repeal question,
We are taking this means of reply
ing to Mr., Herbsman, in accordance
with our fixed policy of honesty to
our readers.
We wish him rs well as the Island
people to know that we are pursuing a
course of hands off" of the repeal
question. We are too firmly convinced
of parental responsibility to fell that
In the final analysis in the temper
ance matter the responsibility can be
placed anywhere else. We are liberal
enough to feel that person can take
an occasional glass of beer and still
remain an honorable citizen. The
chances are that the person who goes
to excess in this matter were he placed
in a desert and walled in would find
some other excess in which to in
dulge, We lived in our childhood in
q community in Iowa where there
were Is saloons and TOO inhabitants.
We were reared by parents who were
rabid on the subject of drinking. Later
we lived in a small city in Colorado
where there were 40 saloons to 1900
inhabitants, We have seen the curse
of the open saloon; have seen its
hideous degradation; have taught in
schools where undernourished chill
dren tried to escape the curse laid OH
them by their fathers indulgences.
We would be averse to seeing re-
turn of the open saloon and would do
all we could to prevent yet we feel
that the open saloon would be pre-
ferable to many conditions which have
come into common practice with the
18th Amendment.
Temperance, or lack Of it, was, is
and always will be question to con-
slider and discuss. The repeal or re-
tention of the 18th Amendment is not
going to settle the matter, and how
each one of us shall vote is matter
to settle between ourselves and our
conscience.
All of which, we hope, will convey to
MIR. Herbsman, as well as to our read
ers, that we do not feel qualified to
attempt to make any plea either for
or against national prohibition.
