conferred upon checklists who had

years or more. It opened the way
to a more rapid advancement, q

MOSCOW RULE
COST LIVES
OF MANY
By GEORGE KITCHIN
Chapter XXXV

In January, the supply de-
psrtment got busy securing
materials for the repair Of its
tug boats. Moscow was fur
nished the necessary requisi-
tions, but did not send the ma
terials and answered all our
kilograms with promises, the
worth of which we knew only
too we'll. The camps fleet con-
sisted of four tugs, and three
of them were in very poor con-
dition. The fourth tug-boat
had been transferred to the
Vychegda River from the
Volga, and a prisoner, sea cap
tain K, was placed in COM
mand.
Imagine his surprise when he
went to the tug to take COM
mand and recognized it as his
own tug which had been taken
from him by the Bolsheviks
and nationalized in the early
days of the revolution. He had
not seen it since, and during
the intervening years its name
had been changed several
times.
It was now called the 'Ufa, I"
q name quite different from
"Krasotka" (Little Beauty
which he had originally given
it. Still, since Providence had
brought it back to him, he took
a proprietor's interest in it,
which accounted for its good
condition.
Special boiler plates were needed
for the repairs. They could be OBJ
tanned only in Archangel. I met
with unexpected resistance when
explained to Zolotarev, the mani
cured chief Of our department. the
necessity of immediate purchase
of the boiler plates.

Has Strikeout in Pinch.

~HEN Newsom set out to save him
self. He struck out just three
during the pastiming, but he
picked this situation for his most i'm
portant strikeout. Washington was
sent up to bat for Tietje. He went to
a 3-and-2 count with Newsom and the
three bad ones the pitcher had hurled
were very bad. But Buck was bat
Ting. He fired fast one. Washington
tipped it and Bolton clung to the
sphere for the out. Again Myer threw
for the third retirement.
Never thereafter was Newsom in
difficulty. Only II batters faced him
the remainder of the way. Two got
hits. Bonura singled after two were
out in the fifth and Sewell singled
after two we're gone in the sixth. For
Buck, the last five innings were a
breeze.
Newsom also figured prominently in
the 14-hit battering the Nationals gave
Leslie Tietje and Vernon Kennedy. He
rified a good single to right, beat out
a bunt to Dykes and looped one
baser over second. 1t was Jack Stone
with two doubles and as many singles
however, who did most to roll up the
Washington score. Jack got the Ma

Tunney and Leonard.

YUST about this time another ex-
Il champion. by the name of Benny
Leonard, walked into the discus
sion.
What about young fellow known
| as Gene Tunney?" Leonard asked.
He was the top in condition and in
| smart ring generalship. He wasn't a
killing puncher, but he could hurt a
lot Ask Jack Dempsey. He could
take a punch and still come back.
He was one of the best boxers-next
to Jim Corbett-that the heavy
weights ever turned out. When you
begin to take up all the important
| factors, you can't leave this fellow
Tunney out
Gene blushed and changed
the subject to Ross and Nc
Larnin. Benny likes Ross.
| Barney IS as fast as ever" he said,
'but bigger and stronger. He played
little safe to win the title the first
| time, and he played a little safe to
defend it later. This time he will feel
free to take off the blanket and shoot
the works.
Ross still is young and still coming
on. Jimmy has been around a long
time as far as ring years go. McLar-
min always is a dangerous puncher,
but don't think Ross ever will let
him get set. When you are faster
than the other fellow you have big
edge. Ross is one of the fastest men
have ever seen in the ring. He
hasn't reached his peak yet, and, ac-
| cording to all the laws of Nature and
gravity, McLarnin has passed his.
Barney had two titles while
back-now he has none at all.
He wants this one the worst
way-and L think he'll get it,"
But Gene Tunney still was puz-
zling over the Braddock affair. Brad
dock was fighting before Tunney ever
had his first shot at Dempsey. James
j. of Jersey was having his troubles
then with light-heavies. Tunney and
Dempsey nave left the ring behind
them many years past. And Tunney
returns from the other side of the
world to find Jim Braddock where
Tunney was nine years ago-the
heavyweight challenger
And young fellow, Joe Louis. he'd
barely heard about, meeting Carnera,
, who just a year ago was heavyweight
champion. No wonder James Joseph
Tunney looked trifle bewildered.

champion?"
I slipped this query to Gene Tunney
as the somewhat startled traveller was
trying to figure out the heavyweight
shifts that had taken place since he
started his world tour some months
ago.
We had been talking at the time
about Braddock and Baer, Louis and
Carnera-and just what ammunition
each one carried.
Suppose we make a list of the
most important fundamentals or fac
tors-and then try to put them in
order" Gene said. I'm this list we
have to include condition, boxing
skill punching power, ringcraft, the
ability to take it. speed and quick,
natural reflexive responses.
The hard work here is arrang-
ing these in the order of their i'm
portance. I think first of all I'd go
back to the two primitive qualities
to be able to punch and to take a
punch If heavyweight can't punch
or can't take a punch-he hasn't
much chance. Ability to take punch
embraces both courage and durability.
"Almost in line with these
qualities i think 1 would in
clude condition and ringcraft
or Smartness.
mo fighter out Of condition has
much of chance against an oppo-
nent with any class
What comes next? We can't leave
out boxing skill. Jim Corbett was a
hard puncher in his younger days.
He decided to concentrate on boxing
rather than punching. But Corbett
was an exception-the smartest boxer
and the quickest thinker the ring ever
knew"

TN BUCK NEWSOM the WaSnlng-
ton ball club has picked up a
pitcher with strength not only in
his right arm, but also in his
heart. This, the breezy boxman
brought over from the Browns for
$4,000, proved yesterday to the sat-
isfaction of a 10000 ladies' day crowd
in Griffith Stadium as the league
leading White Sox were bowled over,
10 to 0.
Twice early in the battling Buck
pitched himself on spot. Wlldness
got him in trouble in the second inning
when with passes he filled the bases
before a batter was retired. Only
one was out in the fourth when a
walk was followed by two hits to load
the sacks again. But neither time
did Buck falter.
Steel-nerved, he buckled to the all
but hopeless task of keeping the
White Sox away from the plate, and
his pluck was well rewarded. And
after that fourth-inning bid the
chesty leaders-who were not SO
chesty once Newsom got IN stride
never had a chance.
There will be times when Newsom
will get lot of rough treatment when
he is on the rubber, but no matter
how severely the opposing batters
may maui him he will be fighting
back so long as he is in the game. He
proved beyond all doubt yesterday
that he is that kind of pitcher.
