HIS CHARACTER
-By WICKES WAMBOLDT

good to their families, and always
willing to help anybody who is
down and ont.
You can not classify men as
either good or bad. The worst are
not all bad and the best are not
all good.
1t often happens that you find
witnesses who divide sharply in
their opinions about a mans char
acter. Some will argue emphati-
cally that he is good, while 9th
ers will declare with eGral vehe-
mence that he is bad. Some of
the witnesses are looking at one
side of the mans character, while
others are looking at another side.
Frequently adverse criticism,
or complimentary comment con-
corning a man is due to lack of
understanding Of him.
A man Of gold with harsh ex-
terror may give those who are not
acquainted with him. the impress
sion that he is as hard boiled and
as cold blooded as Shylock, while
a gold plated somebody with a
heart as black as night, may have
the uniformed shouting his prais-
es.
To appraise mans character
is difficult thing to do, for how
few of us really know anybody.
We may know a man we'll enough
to be sure how he will react I'M
der certain circumstances, but
what if he is thrown into a def
ferent set Of circumstances? What
will he do then? He may do worse
than we had dreamed of, or he
may do better than we had hoped
for.
''He is a bad one," said the
man of the criminal he had
brought to justice.
"He's bad one," said the GRIM
inal Of the man who had brought
him to justice.
About all we human beings can
do is to do the best we can with
ourselves and for one another. We
must set up safeguards. We must

The law directs him to keep that
dollar stabilized. So, almost auto
matically, we toss some of our
sterilization fund into the pot and
keen on dumping it. The process
secmE bound to go on unless we
create something like an equal
balance of trade.
ONCE upon a time there was q.
~ New Deal and one Of the first,
most important things it was going
to do was assemble very accurate
statistics on unemployment.
The Hoover administration had
so often fumbled and falsified those
statistics that everyone agreed a
cleanup was in order.
Miss Perkins was going to do it.
Harry Hor1'Ns promised the FERA
would do it whether she did.or not.
More recently there was pan W
have the CWA workers conduct an
unemployment census.
Well, the American Federation
of Labor's estimates remain the
best and the most commonly ac-
cepted - and no one knows no"
accurate they are. (They place
the unemployed at more than
11,O0G,000.l
The A. F. of L. uses the Bureau
of Labor Statistics index figures on
employment for industry and trade
with the census figures of 1871
for comparison, the Department OF
Agriculture's basic figures for farm
employment; the ices figures on
railroad men and a certain degree
of guesswork. Oils figures are
merely examples.)
One of these days someone in the
government will again suggest &C

That statement was probably received
as queer news in Polk county-yery inter

people in the adjoining county of Hender-

OXFORD men ADOPT
THREE FIELD EVENTS
Add Javelin, Discus, Hammer in
Effort to Improve British
Track Standing.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NXFORD, England.-In hopes Of
" improving the showings Of
British athletes in the field
events, British officials have decided
to institute the javelin, the discus
and the hammer events in competi-
tion among Oxfords score Of colleges
next season.
Though there have been some re-
markable performances in most Of
the track events, field events have
never produced brilliant results at
meets in England, since they are so
frequently omitted in ordinary COM
petition.
At the recent British universities
meet in London, Fenton Gentry, for
mer University of Virginia student
now at oxford, won the discus event
at 125 feet 2 inches and the shot
put by toss of AZ feet / inch. At
the same meet the best javelin throw
was slightly over 158 feet and the
best pole vault was feet inches.
Cambridge has not yet decided to
adopt the weight events, other than
the shot put, either In intercollege
meets or the oxford meet, the main
event of the season. Few of the Sec
ondary schools train their athletes
in these events. Oxford's field space
for such events as the hammer and
discus is uncomfortably restricted
and even those most interested in
the success of her new sports ex-
pertinent are doubtful of its result.

Stars of Major Diamonds Are Capable
Guests But Prove Shaky Before Crowds.
BY JOHN LARDNER-

How did Chase rate among the
ball players as a billiard expert?"
Wood, Chase Great GUESTS.
"Chase was pretty near tops. Oh,
yes, there was Smoky Joe Wood. He
played a fine game And another
great old player was Pop Anson.
Wood and Chase, though, were almost
in the professional class"
who are the best today?"
"Well, there's several pretty
good ones. Max Carey plays
good game. Tony Cuccinello is
good. And Weintraub here has
a nice stroke"
At this moment Mr. Perrin made the
shot which brought victory to him and
Mr.. Matsuyama by a score of IS to 26.
Mr.. Doyle shook hands all around and
seized the opportunity to chew some
more fat about the ball games.
THAT was a tough one for Hubbell,
that home run of Jim Collins. Two
out and two strikes But you never
know when it's coming, a break like
that"
Mr. Doyle continued to develop this
very sound premise. The crowd turned
its attention to Larry Stoutenburg, the
trick-shot artist Mr. Weintraub made
for the exit, pausing only to admit
that three cushion billiards is a nice,
interesting game.
II play 1t good deal" he
said. "Most of the time I'm q
little better than 1 was tonight"
Mr. Weintraub does not have the
appearance of a loafer and maybe,
when he acquires prestige and repu-
tation as ball player. his example
will serve to get the youth of the
country back into the pool rooms 1t
would be just as good place for them
as anywhere else.

best of them a game" put 1t
down In your hat that Illinois is
going to be tough on the foot ball
field this Fall.
The willy Illini coach lost the Big
Ten championship by only two points
last season after one Of the most
surprising campaigns in his brilliant
coaching career. This season, fortified
with more experience and great pair
of backfield aces in Beynon and Lind
berg, Zuppke says:
Illinois will have largely the same
personnel as last year, with the light
est line in the conference again. Our
boys are not up to Big Ten standards
physically and must make up for this
by alertness, smartness and gameness
as they did last year. They will be
more experienced. With Beynon pass
ing and Lindberg punting and also
throwing, this phase of our game
should be superior. We are not talk
ing championships down here, but I
think we will be able to give the best
of them a game"

N YEW YORK, September 18.-The
nj game of pool always has been
| Y pretty popular will ball play
ers. People call it a loafer's
game, but your ball player is by no
means q first cousin to the busy bee
and he doesn't mind what they call 1t.
He is addicted to every form Of cue
competition, from Kelly and combina-
ton pool to three-cushion and balk-
line billiards.
There was nice three-cushion
match the other evening in Mr.. John
T. Doyle's billiard academy and in
vestment house. On one side of the
table were Phil Weintraub, the prom
ising Giant outfielder, and Willie
Hoppe. On the other were Mr.. Kinrey
Matsuyama and Mr.. Arthur Perrin,
who rank in that order as billiard
players.
1t was a gripping contest, with
Mr.. Weintraub doing fine for an
outfielder.
It gripped all the members Of the
audience except Mr.. Doyle. The bet
ting commissioner, instead OF watch
ing the match and sketching out
pleasant and educational history Of
ball players who played pool. was in
,l&S b ln-h
had just witnessed between the New
York Giants and the st. Louis Car
dinals.
DOYLE Concentrates on Base Ball.
"DID you notice Medwick, now?"
said Mr.. Doyle. He takes
that extra chance on a short
fly that Joe Moore doesn't take. He
dives in and pulls it out Of the grass.
Now, there was ball that Moore
could have caught"
''Mr. Doyle, do you see many ball
players who play a good game Of
billiards these days?"
Sure, plenty. Now. one thing you
have to think of when you figure
Terry's strategy in that f1rst game Is
that he wanted to spare his pitchers.
He can't take any chance on firing
them for this world series. With
Parmelee@"
"Weintraub seems TO be
little nervous making his shots
in front of that crowd"
"Yes," said Mr.. Doyle reluctantly.
Maybe he is a little nervous. Did
ever tell you about Hal Chase? You
know how Chase was on the ball
field-cold and nerveless as steel. But
get him in a big billiard match and
his hand shook like a-what's it
aspen leaf. He played fine game.
but he got nervous.
Il remember one match arranged
between Chase and Mike Donlin, the
old Giant outf1elder. I got Jim
Jeffries to referee, because there was
lot of ballyhoo then about Jeh's
fight with johnson. Chase and Donlin
were so nervous in front Of that crowd
that it took them an hour to play-of
10 innings. finally broke it up on
the excuse that JEFF had to catch q
