All Economics

It is worth thinking about these reformers to contrast
them with our time. I suppose I get most of the
crank and reforming literature issued and find that while
few obscure people bent changing detetic habit
or clothes while some notable, fight for further
rights for women the generality of reformersand they
would hate the those who want to revoutonze
the economic system. The deathblow to moral reform
comes with the end of prohibition. We all sunk in
economies now-and had better make the best Of it.

 A right-hand smack to the chin which carried with 1t fine of $25 and costs and left hook that jared the recipient and to which was appended a thirty days jail sentence, ended temporarily the career of third party, Louis Richardson, 29, of 14O Orange street in the domestic squabble of Mir and Mrs Patrick O'Neil.
 When Judge Edward Mascolo's sentence was fully appreciated by Mrs O'Neil she broke into tears, seized hold of Richardson to con sole him, and then stepped to one side and smacked her husband in the face with her open hand. She was hurriedly seized and ordered to her seat or out of the court room.
 Judge Mascolo's disposition of the case simply emphasizes the fact that third parties in family arguments, like peacemakers in general, usually get it in the neck or on the chin, literally and fig uratively.

series scandal involving the White Sox and Cincinnati teams which was a terrific blow to baseball.
 \ Babe Ruth in 1920 was at the height of his career. ~Frazee, a theatrical manager who owned the Boston Red Sox, sold the whole Boston team, and the Red Sox have yet to recover from it, gen. erally being last division ball team. Ruth, sold to the Yankees, was responsible for the great in- terest in baseball and the game became such a gate attraction that new stadiums were built, close to 86,O00 seeing the Yankees and Athletics in a double header last year.
 When Jack Dempsey beat Jess Willard he became the most un- popular champion the country has ever known, for he refused to fight in the war, while others, whose physical means were in no compari- son with the well built champ, were forced to fight in the trench es. In spite of his unpopularity Dempsey drew the greatest gates in the history of boxing in the last 10 years. His fight with Georges Carpentier, French champion, which resulted in an easy knockout for the former, drew a gate of 90,- 900 and made Dempsey more pop ular than ever. The Dempsey-Tun- ney crowd however, overshadow- ed the rpentier-Dempsey setto, Dempsey receiving over $450,000 for his share of the losers end.
 Speaking of football. MT Roland. a personal friend of Howard Cam, New York university gridiron coach related recent meeting with MT Cam. The N. Y. U. coach's pre- decessor, "Chich" Meehan listed a most strenuous schedule for his team which drew big crowds, but after expenses had been paid, in- cluding coaches, trainers, rubbers, travelling. expenses. equipment, etc, the N. Y. U. school showed deficit of $20.000.
 Concluding the speaker said what the situation will be in the sport world in the future. when normal times return, cannot be predicted by anyone.

O'Neil's boy friend. He has been seen in her company very fre- quently and admits that he takes her to the movies" He, as we'll as Mrs O'Neil, testified that some times they have observed O'Neil trailing after them. When Mrs O'Neil was patient in St Mary's hospital she sent for Richardson, but not for her husband. The lat ter visited her, however, and warned Richardson to stay away.
 Matters reached crisis Sunday when Richardson met O'Neil on the street and threatened to beat him up. The timely arrival of Q friend prevented a fight from re- sulting. Sunday afternoon Mrs O'Neil and Richardson almost be- came embroiled in a street fight when a friend of the husbands stopped them on the street and served notice on the young man that if he ever hit O'Neil he would get his. s4
 Richardson admitted stopping O'Neil on the street, but denied threatening him. He expressed himself as being interested in pro- tecting Mrs O'Neil from her hus- band. ''So you're a champion" exclaimed the court.
 Neither Judge Mascolo or Pros ecuting Attorney Emil Hummel manifested pleasure over the atti- tude of Richardson and his actions Another interesting situation de- veloped when Mrs O'Neil took the stand and testified for Richardson and against her husband.
 Judge Mascolo. remarking on the case, stated that he could en- certain no sympathy for Richard- son in his conduct in the entire affair and found him guilty of the charge of breach of the peace. When he imposed the sentences as described, action followed so swift- ly that court attendants were un- able to prevent Mrs O'Neil from skipping her husbands face and remarking "You rat" She re- mained after court to console Richardson.
 Attorney Vincent Miller. who ap- peared for the accused filed notice of appeal and bonds of $500 were named.
 The case of Eugene Rogers, 65. of 175 Bishop street, alleged own- CT of still. was continued until Saturday morning.
