Louis More NOluble. But =,

I OUIS, too, has undergone a change
since he fattened Jim Braddock
to become the heavyweight champion
In the past, newspaper men found it
difficult to get Joe to say something
for public print. Now a new Louis
has risen. He is more cocky, confident
and voluble.
A sense Of humor nobody suspects
him Of having has come to light. He
talks more freely but without say
ing anything Of import. 1t was ever
thus.
The big news of the day came when
Louis finally was presented with
championship belt. He had been
squawking, ever since his kago of
Braddock, that he had nothing to show
for being champion When it was
presented by Nat Fleischer, editor Of
the ring magazine, Joe grinned as he
was told that Nat had presented some
thing like IS of the belts since 1922.
"Ahll try to save you money!
promised Joe. You won't have
to present one of these to
heavyweight again for = long
time"

letter in which he said that if he
beat Jimmy he would make his first
title defense against me and split

If the match with the winner
OF the Louis-Farr bout is made
Max will train at Spectator, the
spot from which he emerged to
knock out Louis in 1855 biggest
boxing upset.

Cubs Collapse in Ninth.

THE Bucs pinned the fifth straight
setback on the injury jinXed
Windy City Wallopers yesterday, win
ming, rs, with a tWo-run rally in
the ninth, to climb back into vir-
tual tie for third place. At the same
time the Giants, making the most of
their newly discovered ability to hit
timely behind their top-fight fling
ing, belted the Bees, 9-l, for their
fifth straight win and were only q
pitch and putt off the pace.
The Pirate victory was also the
BUGS fifth in a row and made it look
as though the Pittsburghers finally
may be coming out of their Sleep
walking habits of recent years. AL
though they have little of the crack
pitching that is skyrocketine the
Giants along, particularly the MASTER
full left arm of King Carl Hubbell,
who turned in seven-hitter yester-
day, the Bucs are betting that apple
and winning the close ones
While the Giants have been taking
the second division Phillies and Bees
during their current winning streak,
the Pirates have run into the tougher
sockers from st. Louis and Chicago
with the same results. Whichever way
you look at it, however. it appears the
Giants and Pirates may yet fight it
out for the flag, with the Cardinals
still to be heard from and the Cubs
praying for fewer bandages on more
ball players

THE experts" who climbed way
out on that creaky limb for the
Chicago Cubs couple weeks
4 ago we're scrambling all over
each other today, trying to get back
before the thing broke in two under
them.
You could hear it cracking wide
open all over the National League,
particularly in gleefu New York,
whose galloping Giants we're only two
games of the pace; in Pittsburgh,
where the once more pounding Pi-
rates were moving along at their fast
est pace since early in the season.,
and in glum Chicago, whose Cubs
were giving unmistakable signs Of
quietly folding up and stealing away.
That once lengthy lead on which
the Cubs were riding is disappearing
with all the speed and completeness
OF hot dog in the hands of a fan
with that eighth-inning hunger. while
the Giants and Pirates are pulling up
for finish fight.

In spite of this denial and several
Pther slight arguments against the
ogic of such a happening, New
Workers apparently are inclined to
fleW the rumor with some credence.
It's All Illogical.
0NE of the arguments Is Cronin's
5-year contract with YaWkey at
10000 a year. This contract has
years to run but reports say that
FaWkey Will pay Joe Off and let him
fome to the Capital to take over Papa
n-law Grifiths job.
Another illogical item is the vacancy
Boston that Cronin'S release would
Freate, a vacancy at srortStop rather
han at the helm Of the SOX. What if
aWkey did contemplate another man.
lger say, Buckv Harris again?
What would he do for shortstop?
Even Cronins Of 1887 are not to be
ound on every corner.
Those close to YaWkcy maintain
hat Tom never has publicly rued his
purchase of Cronin for S25O000 in
he Winter of 1884 Surely, he had
eason to regret it. That probably

The day probably will come when
tronin returns to Washington and
ither takes over the presidency or
cams up with young Calvin Griffith,
dopted son of Mr. G. But that time
hardly will be this Fall. 1t just doesn't
nake sense.
Meanwhile Harris is suffering. but
Iot from runors of that sort. Bucky
oes not have to worry particularly
bout his future. There are too few
TODD managers in the ma iOrS for
Harris to so jobless long. What has
i'm down is the Mats failure to beat

both sides agreed to observe collec-

The conferees were in accord, she
said, that "labor's success in collective
bargaining should be fitted into the

p the Associated Press.
A survey by American military au-
thorities disclosed today that the
United States is spending a much
smaller percentage OF its income for
national defense than any other world
power.
OF the "a nations maintaining siz-
able armies and navies, the report
showed, only Hungary spends a small
er proportion Of its budget on arma-
ments.
President Roosevelt referred in his
budget message yesterday to the rela-
lively low cost of American defense,
and declared nations in an arma-
ments race were headed directly to-
ward bankruptcy.
He said at a press conference later,
however, that distinction should be
drawn between nations arming for
offense and those reluctantly doing
so for defense.
His request for Government econ
omy, he added, did not mean American
defense funds should be curtailed
He estimated s953,O00,O0O, or about
13 per cent Of the budget will be
needed for the Army and Navy in the
next fiscal year.
Great Britain earmarked 21.8 per
cent of its total budget for military
and naval expenditures in 1887. The
chancellor of the exchequer announced
yesterday income tax increases to pay
for the British rearmament bill, esti-
mated at $500, 100000
Mr.. Roosevelt told reporters he did
not know the amount of the British
budget when he wrote his message.
