Judge also had high words o1
praise to describe his successor at
first base, Joe KuheI.
KUHEL LOOKS GOOD
"FrOm the outset 1 have liked
KuhePS motions around first
base and / knew he would be
the logical successor at the ini-
tial sack. One of the most i'm
pOrtant attributes of playing
that bag is the proper shift
ing of the feet and Ruhel
showed from the beginning he
would not be clumsy in that re-
Spect.
"Kuhel is already a finished
fielder and will steadily develop
into a stout hitter-in fact he
was going great guns with the
willow during the latter part
of 1882"
Judge is of the opinion that ii
will be the Griffmen who will
give the Yankees the greatest
battle for American League SUI

Ruth or Gehrig crack even the

be crippled and it will be Wash

So, the scrappy lieutenant is

who think they can fight. He
stated that candidates need not
have had any experience.

Two local boys reported. AL
Farrell, District amateur heavy
weight champion, and Lyman
McAboy, a husky lad with little
or no experience, were the candi-
dates. Farrell knew plenty but
his pal was quite green until the
good lieutenant showed him a
few tricks.
These lads have helped the Old
Liners no little with their excel
lent showing the current season.
Mac has won both his fights
while Farrell has broke even in
his two matches. The Maryland
University boxing team has won
one match and tied the other.

Mac will fight in the 1865 divi-

TERRY, CAREY
To CONFER
On VANCE
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The big
wind was blowing into town
again to play a split-week today,
as baseball men began gathering
from here and there, ostensibly
to discharge a social obligation
at the annual baseball writers
dinner but actually not alto
gether unprepared to do a little
private dickering for personal
gain. Several salary adjustments
were in the offing. Also a pos
Sible trade or two. Likewise a
great deal of useless rhetoric.
With Max Carey and Bill
Terry in the same town, some
thing may come of the proposed
deal by which Dazzy Vance
might wind up at the Polo
Grounds. 1t may not be gen.
orally known but the Giants are
the only thing that stand be-
tween the waving of Vance to
the Boston Red Sox. All other
National League clubs have given
Vance the drawing room stare.
So much for conjecture.
In the light of certainty, the
Sam Breadon Branch RicKey
combination will discuss business
matters with Frank Frisch, their
insurgent infielder, in a friendly,
fatherly way.
Must Reason
Mr.. Frisch, it seems. is not to
be paid this year in the manner
to which he had managed to be-
come reconciled, so that it will
now be necessary to reason with
the young man. In this respect,
1 have a great deal of confidence
in Mr.. Hickey. And so, I might
add, has Mr.. Hickey.
Something, too, might turn up
in the Ruth situation with Joe
Mccarthy in evidence, although
this is to be doubted. AS 1 recall
Mr.. Ruth and Mr.. Mccarthy last
summer, they spoke in passing
but not with unnecessary warmth.
Meantime, John j. McGraw is
coming all the way back from
Cuba to make a speech at the
dinner and the general tendency
today is to fear the worst. It is
believed, in fact, that Mr.. Nc
Graw feels a TRADE of some kind

BABE ADMITS
HER SINGING
NOT So HOT
By JOHN C. HOFFMAN


CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-It's al
right when they have her jump
ing hurdles and posing for pic
lures at ping pong with Jack
Dempsey, but when it comes tc
wearing grease paint and sing
ing Under the Harlem Moon
Texas Babe Didrikson doesn't
like it.
We found the slim miss in
her dressing room at the theater
somewhat out of sorts with
Thespianism and pining for the
Texas plains.
"HOw long are you going to
be an actresS?" we ventured.
This is my last week as far
as Pm concerned" she SnOrted.
II don't know how / ever got
into this thing. They put
grease paint on my face the
first day here and now look
at it,"
Complexion Is Proof
Her usually unblemished com
plexion was sufficient proof OF
her complaint.
"They wanted me to sing
Under the Harlem MOOn,'"
she said, "but 1 could do Fit
as a Fiddle better. 1t amt so
hot. though. And then they
coop me up in this place wait
ing for my act to go on all
day. Gosh, a guy can't get
out and do anything"
The Babe told about her act
ooh, 1 jump a high hurdle,
then give them a high jump,

ing" she grinned over a Johnny
EverS chin.
Then 1 sing Fit as a Fiddle
and play the mouth harp. Those
last things aren't so hot,
thought. like to do my stuff
before an audience, but this
acting business is the buck for
me-"
Warns to Occasion
The Babe had warmed to the
occasion and was now leaning her
chair back against the wall.
do you play ping pOng?" we
asked.
do 1 play ping pOng?" she
chOrtled. "Sure huff play
ping pong. 1 beat everybody 1
played at that game in Texas
four years ago. / just gave
Jack Dempsey a lesson in ping
pong yesterday"
The press of business has taken
some of the girlishness from the
Babe. She isn't happy. She is
finding that life is something more
than a game of marbles. Some
body told her she could earn a
lot of money as a professional.
And it isn't being done.
After all, the Babe is just a
little girl trying to get along. Oh,
she'll get along all right.

Near self-supporting

Because of educational work
over the past half dozen years
in behalf of these junior games,
interest has increased proper
tionately from year to year un-
til goodly crowds inspired by le-
gion loyalty and natural base
ball interest have come to be
the rule rather than the excep-
ton.
Thus, work started a compar-
atively few years ago has bios
somed into increasing annual
interest in the American Legion
baseball movement to such a
point that the proposition is
now largely self-supporting.
With some donations from the
posts and with some from civic
and business interests, it is
thought this year no deficit will
be encountered.
American Legion baseball ac-
tivities are part of the Ameri-
canization program of the or
ganization and baseball has been
fortunate in having this kinder
garten functioning annually in
its behalf. This is particularly
true in view of the baseball
situation in schools and colleges.

Washington. D. C., Dee 26-Thc Shahan Debating society of the Cahmtolic University of America, Washington D. C., open the most ambitionus schedule in it's history Friday, December 16, with a victory by decision of three judges over St Joseph's college of Philadelphia when 1t successfully uphedr the af- tfirmatiye of the question "Resulved, that the essential features of the National Industrial Recovery act should be adopted as permanent policoes of the Uniaed States Gov ernment'. The Very Rev Dr Will liam J. Kerby, head of the depart- ment of sociology at the Catholic university. acted as chairman for | the debate.
 For the first time in it's history the Debating society is undertak- | ing a pretentious road trip, this years schedule taking 1t at far west as Chicago and also carrying its representatives into New York city. The western trip, wrich be- gins on February 18th includs de- bates with seven teams on success sive evenings. The teams to be met are the University of West Virginia at Morgantown; University of Day. ton at Dayton, Ohio; Loyola univer- sity aond Mundedion college for girls, both in Chicago, Ill.,; Michi- gan State college at East Lansing, Mich. John Carroll university at Cleveland, Ohio; and tn University of Pittsburg at Pittsburg, Pa.
 The invasion of New York lists debates with Manhattan college, Fordham university and the Colleg of New Rochelle for girls.
 | The Shahan Debating society was founded in 1911 and derives its name from the late Bishop Thomas J. Shahan who was then rector of the university and under whose stimulus the society took definite form. Bishop Shahan who died in 1882, was nationally known as a leader in tn field of education and was one of the mast active of the university's rectors. Under his de- rection numerous buildings were erected on the campus and activi- ties, such as debating, dramatics. etc, actually took form. Although the Shahan society has been active and swell known locally, this year marks it's first attempt to carry the name of the society and the univer- sity into tn interesectional debat- ing circles of the country.

Liquor Tax Opinion
 Asked By Lonergan
Connecticut Senator Seeks Information Regarding
 Levy on Beverages on Graduated Scale

who oppose the plan, he said, base their views largely upon the diffi- culty of fixing the alcoholic content at the many distilleries and recti- flying plants. At present, he said, the liquor tax is levied in bulk at the distillery, where gaugers de- termine the alcoholic content as the barrels leave the warehouse. If a graduated scale were adopted 1t would be necessary for federal agents to trace the liquor to the battling and dectifying plants, where the alcoholic contents could be determined only by testing each bottle.
 Such a system of tax collection can be applied to beer with less difficulty, the senator said, because it's content can be fixed at the plant. There is some prospect, however, he said, that the beer manufacturers will demand relief from the present liquor taxes on the ground that their product of 3.2 per cent alcoholic content should be classed as a beverage, and therefore not subject to the liquor tax. The present tax on 3.2 per cent beer is $5 per barrel, and on beer of higher alcoholic content is SC per barrel.
 A graduated tax scale for wines Is also less difficult to enforce, the senator said, and actually has been in effect for some time. Wines us- ually fix their alcoholic content ac- cording to the method of process ing, the quantities of sugar, and other factors entering into their manufacture. There are various fixed classifications of wines which make them applicable to different tax rates. At present, wines of IA per cent alcoholic or less are taxed at one rate; those of IA to 21 per cent are taxed at another rate, and those of 21 to "A per cent at a third rate.
 'The best argument for the graduated tax on hard liquors" the senator said, is that it prmootes temperance. Unless the objections tot administering this tax actually ffset the advantages gained from promoting temperance, it would appear desirable, and I may decide to insist upon such a plan in the senate"

It is daring in the sense that the name of Lasky names every one of hi sundertak- ings with delft, original, unique, un- usual treatments.

Roosevelt To Chart COurse;L e;LawmakerS
 To Follow It
By RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON, Dec 2. = " T h e Roosevelt Con- gress' meets again on Jan uary 3, prepared to carry on with the new deal.
 The nations legislators re- turn to find the vast recov- cry programl for which they gave the president unprece- dented powers last spring, op- erating at full blast.
 This is the first of series of
 Ave articles on "Here Comes
 Congress-" giving the back
 ground on the many important
 issues that will confront the re-
 turning lawmakers and how
 the opposing forces are pian-
 ming their campaigns for the
 session which opens January 3.
 Democrat Washington Corre-
 spondent)
 There is a general atmosphere of greater confidence. Recovery is only partial, but every present sign indicates they will approve the new deal effort in general, give Roose- welt what he asks for, vote addi- tional billions Of dollars, and con- fine their criticisms to details and phases of operation.
 This is the first regular session under the lame duck constitutional amendment. A third of the sena- tors and the 435 house members of this 73d congress will be thinking about election to the 74th, which will be chosen next November and will assemble in January, 1895.
 Roosevelt Is Secure
 Thus words and actions will be colored by political considerations, leading to much smoke, steam, and fireworks. But at this writing 1t still is bad medicine to attack Roosevelt, whose persistent popu- Iartty is admitted by everyone on Capitol Hill.
 Chief issues now shaping up in- clude liquor taxation, currency in- nation, general taxation, bank reg ulation, stock market regulation, public works and other emergency appropriations, MIRA labor amend- AASheop SCSCAdh anu communications control.
 Some amendments to recovery measures may be expected, but all or nearly all will be approved by the White House. Democrats will outnumber republicans by nearly 3 to in both senate and house. LIBERALS TO PUSH PROGRAM
 Liberals and conservatives will engage in intermittent battles, with Papa Roosevelt doing his famous balancing act between them, but leaning more or less consistently toward the left.
 :. You'll find the progressives push- ing for "soak the rich" taxes, for stricter regulation of banks and stock markets, for huge public works expenditures, for labor measures, and in general for meas- ures furthering reallocation of the national income. Sharp debate will break out over radical or reactionary tendencies of officials in MIRA, AAA, PWA,
