disputed victory of the war to date
has been won by the American Dol
lar. Our Dollar has become the
acknowledged top currency of the
world. New York, not London, Paris

not mean that our monetary prob

as the ''fever Of the currencies' con-
tinues to rage, being king OF the

Winthrop Aldrich, head of the
worlds biggest bank (Chase Nationa!

the microscope Of the nations money
doctors on our currency problem. He
proposes that we open up the colo
market which we closed in 1888. 1t Is
not a new cure-it has been brought
up again and again. The suggestion
when probed and disSectcd in the
past, has been found wanting. The

jenkins Proves Folly
Of IntercIoss Fights
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent OF The Star.


NEW YORK, Nov. Il CN.A.NA).
-Adhering like glue to roughly so
per cent of the world lightweight
championship is Lewis st. Dunstan
jenkins Of SWeetwater, Tex, a
character who rose like a rocket
some months ago and then fell like
the stick of same.
You have heard very little of Mr..
jenkins since he went out of his
way to get knocked out by Henry
Armstrong last summer. The fact
remains that this undernourished
Slugger still is one of the principal
lightweight champions Of the world,
and as such will defend his title
tomorrow night at Madison Square
Garden against a young taxpayer
named Peter Lello. who knocked
him out once before in jenkins
dim and hungry past.
For the sake of the record,
should add that there is another
world lightweight champion, Samuel
Angott, wearing the slightly used
ermine Of the National Boxing As
Sociation.
1 have nothing against Samuel.
But until he does something to
prove something, we must bear in
mind that Jenkins won his title
from a real champion, Lou Ambers,
in very conclusive fashion, and
should be regarded as the best of
the lightweight champions we have
until defeated by Lello, Angott or

Grid World Still Wondering

They still are wondering how Red
Blaik and his staff were able TO
bring Dartmouth to such peak
against a Cornell team that looked
more than 20 points better, even on
an off DAY.
In checking back over the betting
forms, I find this game wasn't even
listed, as the odds were rated at
IS TO l against Dartmouth. The
betting commissions tell me no one
cared TO back Dartmouth at any
price.
This will be listed as one of the
greatest comebacks or greatest up
sets in football history.
1t only goes to prove what an
aroused spirit can do against an
opponent which feels pretty sure
Of the final score. Blocking and
tackling both are largely a matter
of being keyed up for the occasion
and you can remember that block

OF football. no matter what other
details may enter the picture.

Jenkins is an interesting case. I
think he proves the folly OF inter-
class fights. Here was a grim and
colorful athlete with magnificent
prestige in his own division, the
lightweight, thanks TO his knockout
OF AmberS and a row of lesser men.
Had he stayed among the light
weights, he might now be dis
tlnguiShed and popular champion.
But his first move on winning the
title was to fight Armstrong for the
welterWeight crown Armstrong was
not much heavier than jenkins, but
speaking III terms of metaboliSm, he
was a welter or even a light mid

and strong for Jenkins, who could
not stand the gaff.
Thus, in few weeks from the
moment he gained his fame, jenkins

performance, he went away with his

Billy Conn could take rank with
Carpenter, Berlenbach and Delaney

hunts among the heavvWeights, and
the light heavyweight division is
stagnant, and the title means
nothing.
