The most noteworthy feature Of the
1896 college foot ball season. to date,
is the improvement in blocking from
coast to coast. Blocking used to be q
hit-or-miss proposition, q branch Of
the game which a coach taught his
pupils with more hope than conf
dence. This year, because the boys
have learned to block so well that one
interferer can sometimes take two
defenders out of play, you see wide
end sweeps restored to favor and long
runs effected even by the slower ball
carriers.
It's a good game, but I be-

8 if the occupants get OF before that
hour. And late comers may have
their pick after 10. but very few want
to start matches at that hour, which
could not be concluded until after
midnight.
The question, then, as Hokie
sees 1t, is, "Why the insistence
upon 8 O'Clock openings? Why
not do the logical thing and
start some leagues Of at and
another group at 81"
The result would be obvious. Just
twice as many leagues could function
as current conditions permit. Twice
as many bowlers could roll as have the
chance now, and alleys could do twice
the business. Instead of bowling tax
ing up the entire evening (n any
wives or sweethearts object to that,
some pinmen would be through in time
to go to a show, while others would
have opportunity to take it easy an
other hour earlier in the evening. Few
of the latter, methinks, would bemoan
a finish at IL o'clock.
It's a good idea, We think, Hokie,
and bowling fans and teams might
think so, too If too late to be put
into operation this season. the sug-
gestion might be considered when
making up 1878 schedules.

CRIMES DODGERS

New Pilot to Tell Writers
Today of His Plans for
Running Tough Club.

"A YEW YORK, November 16.-
M Burleigh Grimes officially
takes over as manager of the
4 Brooklyn Dodgers today,
stepping into what is. paradoxically,
Cne of the easiest. yet one Of the
toughest, jobs in base ball.
It's a grand job to have, because
the manager Of the Brooklyn beauties
never lacks support. The fans never
give up on the club. regardless Of
where it finishes. The turnstiles al
ways click to the tune that gladdens
the hearts of the moguls. Brooklyn
is base ball town.
Where the berth gets tough, how
ever, is in producing a winner. OF
late years the Dodgers haven't been
doing at all well. They've even come
to be known as the "Daffy Dodgers, "
largely because of a brand OF base
running unique in big time.
Promises Fighting Bunch"
CINCE Wilbert Robinson left, the
~ club has tried Max Carey and
Casey Stengel as pilots. without sue
cess. Stengel was let out last month
after steering the outfit to a rather
shaky seventh place in the National
League.
Grimes was signed few weeks ago.
His first official act was to summon
the base ball writer's for today's con-
ference and tell them his plans.
He promises to lead a fighting
bunch" next season From Bur-
leigh's own years as a National League
pitcher, this would seem right down
his alley" He held place all his own

sweshbuckling type in his playing
days. Recently he has been minor

FOES GAIN FAVOR
AS GAME LOSERS
D. c. Lightweight Champion
Faces Willing BattIer
Here Tonight.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.


- CRAPPERS who have gained
their greatest measure of popu-
larity through losing bouts will
- be featured tonight at Turner's
Arena, when Pete Mascia, holding the
dubious distinction of New, York's
finest club fighter, invades this nog-
gin-knocking sector to face Cowboy
Howard Scott. District lightweight
champion, in 10-round scuff1e.
Mascia, a two-f1sted italian who
wades In continuously, buoyed his
prestige considerably in dropping a
hectic argument to Pedro Montanez
in a bout which coaXed $4,000
through the turnstiles at Dykeman's
Oval, New York. Pete nearly gained
q technical knockout in the fifth
round over Montanez, considered one
of Lou Ambers' foremost challengers
for the world lightweight title, but
Pedro rallied to weather the storm
and cop decision despite the handi-
cap of badly cut eye that placed him
on the shelf for several weeks.
Dope Favors Mascia.
THE Brooklyn battler also pleased
Gotham fistic fans in courageous
but losing stands against Ambers and
Al Roth, and If comparative show
tngs against Lew Feldman demon
strate anything, Mascia figures to
trounce the transplanted Texan. Pete
twice dropped Feldman in handing
him a terrific shellacking only two
weeks ago, while Lew held Scott to a
draw here several months ago.
That draw with Feldman may or
may not have taken quite bit out of
the Cowboy, but it is significant that
he has failed to win since that time,
losing on a tenth-round knockout to
Chino Alvarez in Florida and dropping
a bar-room brawl encounter to Joe
Rivers here recently.
Scott, who has yet to pack the
midget arena, never has been draw
ing card since he started to swing fists
here nearly year ago. His showing
against Rivers. however, finally may
pay future dividends. The Cowboy
made more friends in those 80 min
utes of actual warfare than he had in
all Of his previous engagements.
Torrid Tilt Promised.
p EGARDLESS of the recent rec
ords of Scott and Mascia. how
ever, the bout looms as torrid tilt.
Masciais reputation never has been
dulled by poor performance. He
keeps moving and doubtless will force
the fight against Scott, who is at his
best when the battle is carried to
him. t-
Scott, who has slipped to ninth
ranking among the world lightweights
after showing up to third position
earlier in the year. may improve his
rating with victory over Pete. who
twice has trounced the highly regarded
Leonard Del Genio.
Hobo Williams, who was to have
met Rusty Baker of Baltimore in a
six-round fuss, injured his eye in
training and will be replaced by
Country Boy Baggett, hght-heavy-
weight fresh from the mountains Of
Tennessee. Baggett still is wary of
street cars and elevators, but is re.
ported to be very adept with his
dukes.
Young Palmer, Camden welter-
weight, will stack up against Lou de
Mario of Baltimore, while other six
FOUNDERS pit joey Straigis, Camden
lightweight. against Jimmy Tramberia
Of Baltimore, and Al Narcisco, Cam
den, against Vincent Solther, Balti-
more lightweight.
The first punch will be launched at
$3.50 o'clock.

VI Braddock-Joe Louis heavy
4 weight fight In, Atlantic City
got down to business again today
after q week end interruption. with
New York in general and Madison
Square Garden in particular as the
main fronts for action.
OF prime interest was the possi-
bility that Herman (MGggsy) Taylor,
the Philadelphia promoter who started
the whole thing by guaranteeing
Heavyweight Champion Braddock
100000 for a 12-round no-decision
60, would post 100000 of that amount
as evidence Of good faith.
Taylor Not Available.
JULIAN BLACK, co-manager Of

would put up that amount in New
York today for the fight to be held in
February. Taylor himself could not
be reached for comment.
II that 100000 is laid on the line,
much Of the spaVing that has been
going on for week should be over.
Joe Gould, manager Of Braddock, has
said he would sign up for the 60 if the
money were put up. Black said he
would put his name on the line also If
the guarantee is posted. Jacobs. too,
Is agreeable.
But that's where Madison Square
Garden enters. The Garden has Brad

fense. So far, the Garden hasn't had
thing to do with the proposed
match.

TAYLOR had evidenced a willing
ness to talk it over with the Gar
den. and possibly cut the third pro-
moter in. He said Friday he would
confer with John Reed Fitzpatrick,
Garden head, Saturday. But Saturday
Fitzpatrick went to a foot ball game,
SO there was no get-together.
In addition to a possible meeting
between Taylor and Fitzpatrick today.
another angle comes up in the arrival
from London of James j. Johnston,
the Garden promoter. Now Jimmy
hasn't been heard from about the
fight yet. But it's safe to assume he
won't be long past the customs before
he'll announce where the Garden

DENOUNCED BY AL SMITH

figures, but I will speak in fig
ureS Of speech. If you were to
put away one dollar every min
ute-every time the clock ticks
off so seconds in a minute-if
you were to put away one dol
lar every minute since the day
that Christ died on Calvary
right up to the present moment,
you would only have one billion
dollars. That is all you would
have, and l propose, as best I
can, to explain to you tonight
how little the New Deal thinks
of billion dollars.
Suppose, for the sake of argu.
ment, that you were going to
pay the present debt of the
United States. What is it? You
heard how long it took to get
one billion together. Well, the
present debt of the United
States is "a billion. That is what
we owe-you, everybody. But
suppose we started to pay it
back at the rate of 81 a minute.
How long do you think it would
take to pay it? 1t would just
take $4,000 years. Mind you,
that is without interest.
Who Will Pay?
It Is going to be paid by the
rank and file. Now, who says
that? Does that come from me?
l will show you who that comes
from. At Pittsburgh, about o
week ago, the President was
making a speech and he spoke
about the debt and he referred
to the debt as the crushing load.
That is his exact words, a crush
ing load. We know that. Here
is how he says it is going to be
paid: 1t is going to be paid out
of an increased national income.
an increased individual income
produced by national prosperity.
In the same speech the PreSi-
dent defined national income.
Now let's see what his defini-
ton of national income is. That
will bring us to better under
standing of just who is going
to pay the bill. He said:
"By national income 1 mean
the total of all the income of all
of the 125 200, 900 people in this
country, the total of all the pay
envelopes, all the farmer sells,
all the profit, all the businesses
of all the individuals and all of
the corporations in America"
COMING FROM ALL
That statement is absolutely
correct. That is the proper def
milton of national income, and
that "a billion dollars that we
owe, according to that is going
to come out of the pay en-
velopes, from the proceeds of
the sale of stock on the farm,
from the cash register in the Of
flee of the small business man
and from the treasurer Of the
large corporations. About that
there can be no question.
