N YEw YORK, December 21.-At-
tendance comparable to pre-
VI depression days" and a con-
a Y tinued "box-offi comeback
in all branches Of American sport
topped by the return of the million
dollar gate to pugilism, are proclaimed
the principal trends of 1895 by the
country's press box observers.
THE tide of prosperity, which set
in during 1884, now has removed
nearly alY. the red ink from the ath-
letic ledgers," comments one sports
editor in voicing what appears to be a
majority view.
The evidence is conclusive. Pro-
fessional boxing has one man to thank
Joe Louis-for it's sudden return to
big profits, but the causes OF rising
interest in sports are more general
otherwise.
They must be when capacity
crowds will turn out for the world

mating than ever, likes spectacular

Just II members Of the Rough Rid

Robert Sonny Silverman, presi-

winning cadet company in 1928, made
the presentation to Beamer during the
halves of the Roosevelt-ForeSt Park
basket ball game.
Billy Richards, 16-year-old 145-

the team in action next year. Rich

Night Base Ball Succeeds.

THE colleges, notes an Eastern sports
- editor. have recognized this by
''reviving famous old-time rivalries in
foot ball and seeking to build up more
attractive schedules, generally, with a
view to box Office receipts as well as
increasing prestige"
Another welcome manifestation, in
connection with all this. is "the heav-
Ter spending by persons taking in
athletic events, for entertainment as
well as for tickets"
Conspicuous trends noted otherwise
during 1885, on the basis of views
expressed by more than 100 sports
editors and writer's in the fifth annual
Associated Press poll, include the
success of the first major league ex-
pertinent with night base ball cat

ANY one who considers college foot

Loos pondered the drab situation

a smothered hook and some way to
correct one of these faults. The right
mental picture should be of smooth,
correct swing under finger control. I
never try to teach correct foot action

Displays Social Graces.
by A true Briton, the London CT

RY A true Briton, the London critics
mean comely, polished, and
sportsmanlike fellow who holds his
left hand out In the style Of the old
sporting prints and doesn't hit in
the clinches. Tommy Loughran has
further advantages. He can juggle a
tea cup. He doesn't answer questions
with his mouth full Of crumpet or
scone. His language is culled from
the better class magazines. In a word,
Tommy has gone straight to the heart
Of the British public.
He served his apprenticeship in this
work over here, among the Biddles
and Cromwells and Stotesburys, at
Palm Beach and Philadelphia. He
was born to it, really. Other fighters
envied him his niceuess and his social
connections, and strove to emulate
him, but they couldn't make it. It's
hard to fool Biddle or Cromwell.
It's hard to fool Stotesbury, for that
| matter.
Tommy was born nice. For
years he made . good living
at 1t.
He was nice in public prize rings
all over the country. and in most Of
the better private gymnasiums. He
had a nice face, o nice manner, and
nice gift for boxing. About a year
ago, he realized the importance Of
that gift for boxing-when he began
to lose it, he also lost the patronage
Of the better people. The Biddles
drifted away from him. The Crom-
wells withdrew. The Stotesburys fell
back.
This development might have
wrecked the career Of . duller man

But you don't swing with your

"I know you don't" the expert re-
piled, but you should. Action must
come from the conscious or the sub
conscious mind. This means the
head. The trouble is that most golf
ers never get any clear mental picture
or mental pattern of what they
should do in order to hit golf ball
correctly and make any progress.
They get into certain set faults-and
then think only in terms Of trying to
correct these faults-never in terms Of
correct swinging. So they keep in a
mental blur or mental fog"

make such little progress.
