FUNN|ER TOO

NEW YORK, Feb. 7. Up)-The
New York state athletic commits
sion's new rule permitting nom
title bouts for the heavyweight
champion was in force today in the
SO states governed by the National
Boxing association.
With this new territory opened
up, Max Baer can fight up to Is
rounds virtually anywhere in the
country, and although loser by de-
cision or Knockout, he can retain
his crown.
Pres. Edward C. Foster of the
NBA told the United Press that the
organization he heads will observe
the new rule.
While opening up the rules for
Baer in one direction, the NBA is
tightening them in another, and
that goes for Buddy Baer, 1885,
pound younger brother of the
champion, as well.
Foster instructed member COM
missions to permit no more clown
ing by Max and no more bouts with
set-ups for Bud. He explained that
"the stage is the place for bur-
lesque, and the Baers are running
boxing with their circus antics"

COURT DIGNITY FORGOTTEN

In the middle of the fourth week of the
Hauptmann trial. the presiding judge
apparently has become reconciled to the
fact that he is officiating at serious
piece of legal procedure and not a three
ring circus.
Dispatches quote him as ordering the
courtroom cleared of the overflow of
spectators, as we'll as instructing the
bailiffS to maintain strict order in the
court
1t is high time Judge Trenchard took
such steps. The Hauptmann trial has
been hippodromed worse than any other
trial since the notorious Harry Thaw
case in New York years ago.
Why the court should permit flash
lights to boom, movie films to be taken
and newswriters to send their copy car
riers scampering up and down the aisles
is difficult to understand. Judge Tren-
chard did take some action against the
films-after they had been taken. not
withstanding that something in the ma
ture of elaborate preparations had al
ready been made TO record them.
Yesterdays dispatches tell of woman
witness on the stand chewing gum. Judge
Trenchard would probably have raised
"Old Ned if a male witness took the
stand wearing his hat, yet this is no more
disrespectful to the court than for wit
ness to chew gum.
To many who have had to attend muir
der trials, it is difficult to understand
why anyone should want to submit him
self to such an ordeal if not compelled
to do so. Nothing can be more dreary,
drab and monotonous than a murder trial
where attorneys for both sides pick up
every little detail seeking to make
cable out of many small threads. No
public gathering can lull us to sleep any
quicker than the heavy oppressiveness OF
a murder trial. Compared to them the
dull oratory OF political spell-binder is
invigorating The only explanation Of
attendance at such trial on the part of
spectators is the same as that for the
crowds at the old Roman amphitheatres
morbid Tor sordidl curiosity.
No little blame for the disrespect
shown our courts must be attached to the
manner in which judges permit their
courts to be conducted. They might we'll
take a lesson from the supreme court,
which, in the final analysis, is no more
important in maintaining the dignity of
the law and courts than the humblest
chambers of a justice of the peace

the general belief that the Giants
folded up last year when the Cards
started breathing down their necks.
They didn't quit. Jimmy Will
son told me they never played
better ball than they did against
the Phillies toward the close, even
if they did lose. And Casey STEM
gel of the Dodgers said the same
thing. If they hadn't lost Parmelee
for six weeks, it'd been breeze.
The last time they played us their
pitchers were so tired they could
hardly get the ball up there"
Waner also differs from the ma
jority in regards to Joe Medwick,
Cards outfielder.
Everybody says Joe is dumb,
and never will be a great player.
Well, they tell me that shoeless Joe
Jackson was dumb, too, but he
managed to hang around while.
If I was picking an all-star team
out of the league, I'd have Med
wick on It,"
Speaking of all-star teams, who
else would he have on it?
That's easy. I'd let Lopez catch,
Hubbell, the Deans and Curt Davis
of Philly pitch, Terry play first,
Frisch second, Vaughan short
Traynor third, and OFT, Medwick
and myself in the outfield. put
myself on there simply because !
wouldn't miss waltzing to a pen
nant on that team, for nothing
We couldn't miss"
Would a team like that beat any
he ever saw?
Nav. Remember, I saw those
Yankees of 1927 I not only saw
'em, got rolled over four straight
by em. Boy, there was a ball club.
You let few more years pass and
people are gonna be ranking that
club as one of, if not the greatest,
of all time. They we're so good
they treated us like we were a
bunch of semi-pros.
"All through that series they
played with a nonchalance that
seemed to say:
"'Go on out there and make five
or six runs, boys. We don't care,
cause we're planning on getting
nine or 10 here in a minute"

SPORTRARADE.
fAAH1

SARASOTA, Fla, Feb. UR)-
Paul Waner, of the Pirates OF
Pittsburgh, played golf and talked
baseball over the Bobby Jones
course here today and wound up
with a 79, and the conviction that
anybody who'd try and call the
1885 National League race this
early, is mentally out of bounds.
Call the first division, that is.
He thinks even little Horace, way
back there on the last row, could
name the second division clubs.
THE last four are a cinch,"
Waner said as he strolled down the
second fairway. For Boston,
Brooklyn, the Reds. and the Phil
lies just amt got it. But getting
those four in order is something
else. I read every day where the
Cards are a cinch to repeat. but
why? 1t damn near took miracle
to get 'em under the wire last
year They're tough, sure, but they
amt so much tougher than the
Cubs. Giants and us, that a break
here and there wouldn't change
things around"
We asked Paul what he thought
of the Pirates chances to get those
breaks and come in ahead.
I've quit worrying about that.
For two or three years we've been
on paper-the best rounded out
fit in the league. But something
always happens, and we start los
ing ball games we oughta win. And
the first thing you know we can't
win. and that takes the oil drive
outa there. This year, if we are
lucky enough to have three or four
good pitchers get hot at the same
time, and Herman will start hit
ting that apple, there's no telling
what we might do. But who knows
# those pitchers are gonna get
hot? And that's what counts"

coughed a little and had to take a
spoonful of Dr.. Possum IS medicine.
Uncle Wiggily told Baby Bunty
how he and Mr.. Twistytail tried to
bake some beans in a pot and how
they burned. He told her how he
helped a poor tramp dog make car
rot stew in the woods and he told
her how he had made some mice

How can I play with you and

will need cooperation instead of discord

PEOPLE MAKE CHOICE

This morning the sun follows the
clouds, actually and figuratively, Old Sol
getting on the job again after the rain
and figurative sunshine following in the
wake of yesterdays election in the I'M
perial Irrigation District, with the solid
three, retained in control, for which the
people of Imperial Valley should give
thanks
Instead of Hewes-Y Young the
'solid three" now become Hewes- Young
Morrow. Despite the high-powered in
fluence of the Los Angeles Examiner, or
maybe because of it, Earl c. Pound took
a beautiful trouncing in the contest for
director in the Brawley division and must
forego the JOY of taking Harry Horton
by the nape of the neck and the seat of
the pants and dumping him out from the
office of chief counsel for the district, as
he promised to do in pre-campaign pub
licity Morrow's two other opponents
F. w. Greer and |. A. Pearson proved to
be merely "also rams.
We believe Morrow will make a good
man. Brawley seems to think so and af-
ter all, that division is the one to be sat
isfied Evidently the folks up there re-
membered the theft of a recall petition
from the district office and got sweet
revenge for it.
Getting nearer home, the veteran Ira
Aten goes back into office for fourth
term by handsome majority. This
publication can congratulate him in all
sincerity and does So He holds the un-
ique distinction of being political foe,

congratulations Mr.. Aten.
Charles A. Bratton, whom The Press
supported for the office Of assessor-col-
lector, lost out by the small number of
six votes That does not detract from
Miss Winnie Barry's victory. One vote or
100, she represents the choice of the peo-
pie, and believe it or not, we can con-
gratulate her and do. No matter what
political differences we may have, we
are all neighbors down here in the val
ley and il political defeats should be al
lowed to make personal enemies, all the
fun would go out of politics We have
known Miss Barry too long to have any
doubts about her conscientiousness or
efficiency and shall lose no sleep because
she has been returned to office.
The big surprise of the election was
furnished by E. N D. (Nea) Hatch, who
beat out the veteran Frank McIver for
the office of district treasurer. With no
organization other than his own efforts
and willingness to make a hard cam
paign, Hatch deserves full honor for the
success of his venture. He is honest,
sincere and capable, and should fill the
office to which he has been chosen with
credit to himself and to those who sup
ported him. He deserves the congratu-
