NEW YORK. Oct. 18.-Broad.
way skeptics-and their number
is legion-are wondering today if
they weren't little bit hasty in
clubbing Mike Jacobs "a second
Tex Rickard."
These skeptics readily admit
that the promoter of the Twentieth
Century Club took the heavy.
weight champion away from Mad
ison Square Garden; that he put
the Garden out Of the boxing busi-
ness, and that he now has under
contract or controls through his
connections almost all the leading
fighters Of the world-champions,
cfrallengers and coming stars.
But now that he rules the rooSt
in boxing, what is he going to do
about it? "He took a $4,000 rap
on his last big show" the skeptics
declare, land row long will he
keep on taking a financial beat
ing?"
Mike supplies the answer:
"I won't take many lickings
staging fights because I won't
have to. In fighting, as in any
other business. you gotta spend
a dollar to make a dollar. Now
and then I may have to put on
a losing show but in so doing
will develop another show
that will more than make up for
any losses.
DEVELOP TALENT
"I'm going to use the Hippo
drome to develop talent for the

make money in both places. For
instance, this Friday I'm match

turi at the Hipp. That should

The ball went from center to
Baugh. Sammy spun and gave
the ball to Riley Smith, just when
it appeared certain Baugh was
going to throw forward pass.
When Sammy fooled the Pirates
and slipped the leather to Smith,
the whole Pirate secondary rushed
toward the Scrimmage line to
head off Riley. When it appeared
that Riley would be tackled he
tossed a short one to Ed Justice,
thus completing a play which so
thoroughly fooled Pittsburgh that
it made the visiting team seem
like high school outfit.
Pittsburgh's final touchdown, in
the dying moments Of the game,
was scored on a sensational play,
a lateral pass, KarciS to Blood.

CIVIL SERVICE regulations pre-
clude many man and woman from
jobs who have better qualifications
than the ones who pass the tests with
the highest marks. The personal
equation is often so sadly missing.
But, Theoretically, it sounds demo-
cratic and so must be accepted as the
lesser of two evils. But even the civil
service stinks with favoritism and
there seems to be plenty of ways to
get around the regulations.

The Snallygasters have definitely
Quilted these parts. They were per-
haps the most deadly of all strange
monsters to ever haunt Maryland.
Now in their place we have fishermen
arriving in Rockville with something
which looks like COW but smells ike
a fish. And yet we understand that
the specie isscommon and is good to
eat.
Adolph Guide and his friends snag-
ged little fish last week off Brielle,
N. j., which weighed only 366 pounds
and was little shy of fleet 5 inches.
This minnow was tuna and is well
known among sportsmen who seek
sardines. We recognized this specimen
as fish by it's fins and the usual odor
which makes one think of Friday.
1t only took Mr.. GUIDE and Mr.. G.
A. Roberts about 35 minutes to land
this sea-cow. Capt. Harold Driscoll
piloted the expedition and said that he
hoped the next time they went out off
the coast they would find something
worth while.
The Guides ct al also brought back
couple of baby tunas weighing
about As pounds and looking like the
bait they probably used to catch that
