The second session of the Sew
enty-Fourth Congress is expected
to adjourn the first week in
June. The pace of legislation
has not been remarkable. Be-
sides the regular annual appro-
priation bills, the Adjusted Com
pensation Payment Act, passed
over the Presidents veto in Janu-
airy, and the only measures worthy
OF particular note, although at
tention should be called to the re-

Two weeks ago, the seven Re-

Committee on Ways and Means
walked out of the deliberations
and left to the eighteen Demo

While no date has been set for
the r-American Conference at
Buenos Aires in accordance with
President ROOsevelt's recent sug-
gestiOn that the nations o. the
Western Hemisphere adopt meas
ures looking toward the estab-
lishment of permanent peace, it is
probable that the governments
will get together late in July or
early in August. Secretary Hull
and Representatives of the other
nations have formed a committee
to outline a program. So far. ia
vOrable responses have been re-
ceived from all OF the nations ex-
cepting Paraguay, whose reply
has been delayed on account OF
internal incidents. Numerous sug-
gestions have been made by the
various republics.
1t is too early to state definite
ly what subjects will be taken
up but it is interesting to point
out that Chile and Guatemala
have suggested elaborate pro-
posals, the former included eco
nomic and disarmament discus
sions, and the latter urging an
inter-American Court of Justice
and a pledge of mutual aid in case
of attack by a non-American
power. Chile proposes strength
ening of arbitration and con-
citation instruments and the i'm
provement OF the economic basis
for peace by encouraging recipro-
cal trade and the removal Of bar
riers to the flow of commerce.
Even If the conference does MOTH
ing except obtain general appli-
cation of existing instruments of
peace, it would perform a great
service, in the opinion of many
diplomats.

On the other hand. Herman
Oliphant, general counsel of the
Treasury, termed the levy the
most important tax reform since
the adoption of the income tax
law" Explaining his reasoning,
Mr.. Oliphant said that money
needed by the government could
come only from the income of the
people which is composed of sal
aries, rents, interest and profits.
Of these, he said, rents have only
begun to rise, salaries are still
low and interest is on the de-
cline. Profits, however. lave in
creased an average of forty per-
cent. He admitted that corpora
tions probably would pay less
taxes annually than under exist
ing rates because they would not
urally divide more of their prof
its but pointed out that the Treas
ury would get a large increase in
taxes from stockholders who re-
ceived the increased dividends.

Canzoneri, soon to be 81, is now
punching Hike q welterweight,
they say. But they don't add that
he also is walking like q house
detective, meaning that his feet
are flatter than a tin roof.
McLarnin should outweigh Can
zoneri by upward of 10 pounds,
which is one of the reasons that
James is 8 to 5 in the betting. The
other is that, with weight, height
and strength, McLarnin really will
need a minimum Of speed with
which to stand off a man who pre-
sumably has none.
Canzoneri won, then lost the

Whereat, he went up and won

ny FhANA DUH ONEAL1,
The Western invaders faded off
into the night as the Chicago
White sox entrained for st. Louis.
The westerners left the Monus
ment in its accustomed place. and
the Treasury doubtless Is as In
tact as can be expected in these
days and times. A haSty check
early this morning discovered that.
very few Of our cherished land
marks were wrenched from their
foundations. But the Griffs, alack
and alas; the GriffS won 4 games
and lost 6. That gave them q
percentage Of 400 against the out
landers. =
The immediate future holds
forth scant hope for q betterment
Of conditions. The Boston Red
sox are in town early today to
remain over the weekend.
The Red Sox are roaring over
the road to high station in tho
final standings Of the American
League. They are engaged in q ter
rifle fight with the New York
Yankees in which power is met
with power, and pitching skill with
its equal. -
Grove Regains Old Form
Lefty Grove, with five conSecu'
tive victories, featured by q sur
prising succession Of scorelesS in"
nings, has regained the form that
made him supreme over a span
of years from 1926 to 1888. In
those years Grove won 20 or
more victories each season.
Not all of the Boston pitchers
match Groves earned run record,
but with the Red Sox bats spray
ing the fields with devastating
hits it is easy enough for the
hurlers to win. 81
The loss of Joe Cronin has not
slowed the pace Of the Red Sox
in the slightest. Eric McNair is
turning in q mastery job at
shortstop, and the veteran oscar
Melillo is playing to form at sec.
ond base. Dusty Cooke has won
the right field assignment from
Melo Armada for the time being.
AS the Red Sox and Yankees
fight their ding dong battle
through the early, form finding
days of the season, Detroit falls
farther and farther off the pace.
It is too early to make definite
statements, but the Tigers seem
destined to take a beating this
year. -
Breaks Old Fracture
Hank Greenberg suffered a com.
pound fracture Of the left wrist
when he crashed into Jake Powell
here in Washington. The first
diagnosis of Greenberg's injury
disclosed a fracture Of the radius
above the wrist. However. a sec.
ond photograph of the injury
established that the bone broken
when Hank slid into Hartnett in
the world series had been frac.
tured a second time.
When the injury to the radius
was found it was said that had
Greenberg rebroken his wrist his
playing days would be done.
The most optimistic statements
emanating from Detroit now fix
Greenberg's period Of disability at
eight weeks. More pessimiStic re-
ports make his return to action
more remote.
Cleveland Maintains Pace
It is a question then, Of how
badly the Tigers will falter pend.
ing the return of their smuggling
first baseman. There is the ques.
ton which only time will answer.
as to how badly Greenberg's bat
ting form will be affected by his
injury. If his hand loses its bat

injury, he will not be Of much
value to the Tigers or anyone else.

The more you see Of Freddie
Miller, the more it gets home
to you that the little champ
from Cincinnati possesses in
fun measure that rare fight
quality called "Class."
''Class" is the stuff that
spells the difference between a
champion in any line Of en-
dsavor and the fellow who just
barely misses being a champion.
It is difficult to set q formula
for pugilistic class. In a boxer 1t
is Q combination of natures best
physical endowments, the ability
to hit and hit hard, the ability to
take it, the ability to box cleverly,
plenty of natural speed, proper
muscular reflexes, exemplary be-
havior at ali times, clean living.
and the mental makeup that calls
at the same moment for quick
thinking and a certain Stoical
quality that leaves a fellow I'M
ruffled and unflustered when the
fur is flying.

Matter of Class

When you meet the No. ! man
in any line Of acticity (maybe the
worlds best mouse trap maker)
you'll find the fellow at the top
rejecting "class" - the class"
that made him tops.
No doubt thousands Of young
ringsters started UP the ladder in
the same manner as Freddie Mil
Ter. winning as they went along,
supremely confident Of reaching
the top. But only one reaches the
top, So when you meet a 25-year-
old youngSter, modest, intelligent,
gentlemanly; it sets q fellow to

q standout.

formidable fellow like Petey Sar-
ron in make or break" bout
and you'll find many Of them who'll
take the chance and 60 about 1t
as coolly and calmly as though
they were painting a barn. But
the combination of such method
ical attitude plus the mental alert
ness to make a winner out OF q
very near winner comes under the
heading Of the "class" that makes
for champions.
of course there comes a time
in the career of any athlete when
the class alone will not carry him
when the crest of the hill has been
passed and when the bitter down
ward trek begins. But even then
a fellow with class can go q long
long way on his class alone and
maybe even come back. Jack Brit
ton did that, you will recall!
In general physical and mental
makeup, in natural ring alertness
that tells you when to cover and
wait and when to unleash tiger
like attack, Freddie Miller Is a
dead ringer for Ad Wolgast, q
great champion who, as q mere
how and over the 45-round route
copied a worlds title from the
greatest 46-rounder that ever lacet
on g glove.
like Miller, Wolgast was Of Ger

enough like Freddie to- pass FOL
his brother. Both Of them had

York, governing body Of the sport.
During the past two years there
has been an increase of nearly IS per
cent in the number of people-mostly
girls-employed by the A. K. C. And
yet, this staff is only small per-
centage of the number of men and
women throughout the United States
who contribute part of their time to-
ward the interests of the pure-bred
dog.
Delegates from 18o clubs that are
members of the A. K C. form the
lower house" Of the governing body.
They meet In New York City four
times year. The IL delegates chosen
as the Board Of Directors, or upper
house" hold monthly meetings to
settle important questions regarding
the 103 recognized breeds, the 300
odd shows, the 1900 licensed judges,
the stud book, the Gazette and q
variety Of other matters.
Besides this number, all closely
connected with the A. K. c., there are
