Base Ball Quiet
on Trust Charge

ORGANIZED. base ball evidently
is not greatly disturbed by the
charge made yesterday by Repre-
sentative Raymond J. Cannon OF
Wisconsin that 1t is an absolute
monopoly conducted in violation OF
the Sherman antitrust act and
should be investigated by the De-
partment of Justice.
Up to press time today, not a
word of comment was forthcoming
from Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands, commissioner Of base ball;
Will Harridge, American League
president, or Ford Frick, head OF
the National League.
Cannon, in an open letter to
Attorney General Homer Cum
mings, said players are given unfair
contracts which they must accept
or be forever barred from playing.
He contended that this creates an
absolute monopoly in restraint OF
trade.
Silence of base ball leaders may
be influenced by a 1922 Supreme
Court decision. in which organized
base ball was declared q sport ana
not q trade.

Runners Are Classified,
FDSTMAN was world record holder

FDSTMAN was world record holder
at the full 440 (:46.D.
These men fall into two types, Bar
butti, Long and Carr also specialize
in sprints whereas Eastman and
Meredith were half-milers, world
record holders, in fact,
Comparing these Basicallv half
miller and Sprinter types, which met
halfway in the quarter, it's interest
ing to note that the dashman knew
he must use whatever he had early
to offset the closing rush of the half
miller, whose strength should tell in
the second furlong and, most of all
in the rush for the tape.
In the 1882 OlympicS Eastman ran
the 400, not the 800, where he was
supreme, and later equaled the world
record. Carr, who moved up from
the dashes, whereas Ben was moving
down, showed rare judgment in that
final 400 heat
Instead of running the first 200 at
top speed to shake off Eastman, Carr
bided his time. In the homestretch
Bill Jumped" Ben for a two-yard
lead and kept it.

Boxing Skill Tells Story.

''I hear lot about young heavy
weights coming on. I doubt that any
of them knows what block or feint
means. What sort of attack would
any foot ball team have today without
a blocker or a threat? That's what
the fight game is today"
Judge Mahoney called the turn in
the immediate vicinity of 100 per cent.
Baer beat Camera with wild right
hand. Schmeling stopped Louis with
nothing but a right. Neither Camera
nor Louis knew what blocking meant.
This left both open targets that q
rookie couldn't miss.
AS Judge Mahoney says, "it's boxing
skill that tells the story. Look at
Dempsey against Willard, Carl Nor
ris. Fred Fulton and Firpo. Then
remember Jack against Tom Gibbons
and Gene Tunney-against Harry
Greb and Tommy Loughran in train
ing camps. Some day smart young
fighter or a teacher will stumble over
