Cleveland, 0.,.Dec. 26.~If ‘you are a big husky athlete and have any fistic aspirations, ‘here is your chance. Jerry Sachs, Cleveland boxing pro- » Moter. is in the market for a heavy- } te weight who wouldn’t have an ob- jection to winning: Jack. Dempsey’s heavyweight title. In an effort to find such an indi- vidual Sachs plans to hold a heavy- weight elimination tournament in} Cleveland, starting Dec. 15. The winner of this tournament will be immediately graduated into the professional class, and will be given every possible attention in an effort to develop: him as a heavyweight contender. It is the intention to to bring the winner along by slow stages until he is ready to meet the better class of heavyweights’ with Dempsey of course as the final goal. Boxing experience is not essential. Endurance, stamina, courage and de- termination to succeed are far more essential. ‘ Here are the qualifications in the rough: height, 5 feet 1! inches, or over; weight, 180 pounds or more. If you have ambitions to some day be champion heavyweight of the world, write or wire Jerry Sachs, B.; 55th street and Lexington avenue, Cleveland. JUMPING. — When two players are jumping in center and elsewhere, has one of the players the right to ich the bali if he can outjump ‘his opponent? Such a play is illegal.: The ball must be tapped first, Then the jumpers or any other player catch it. may their opponent. Is this permissible? Guards have no such rights. It: is contact, and a personal foul should be called by the referee for “holding” or “blocking.” xo: i Bre sg jivak wr DRIBBLE Cana player atfer he starts @ dribble, alternate hands without violating the rules, or must he gon- tinue theydribble with the hand with which he ‘started?

Sectional critics have had great difficulty this year in finding a place for all of the stars with their own confines and the picking of 11 men and implying these eleven is the best eleven in the United States is a task .that requires, the nerve more. monumental than most sport- ing writers possess.

The ‘twenty-six ‘men, with the ex- ception of two, come from teams re- resenting the schools. of the “Big Ten.” With the exception of Hirch- berger, the single western players of the late “eighties” when football was being developed, the players are all of this century and played a fairly well developed game.

One off the_first ‘things the work- ing classes won in\Germany, whenj the republic was established, was) the enactment into organic law of the eight- hour: statute. Managers of great industrial plants have always sneered it was merely an excuse to work more than eight hovfrs and get double pay for over- time. . Not long ago at a meeting of Ger- man industrialists Stinnes made a speeeh in which he said if the Ger- ™man mark was ever to be stabilized, if Germany was to pay the repara- tions demanded by ‘the allies and thus get rid of the armies of occupa- tion, if she was ever to set her own house .in: order, she ‘would::have to produce more goods and to do this her people would -have~ to work longer hours. ~, 8 ect He said nb one}:would dream. of disturbing the letter.of the German eight-hour. law, but’ German. work- men would simply have. to “‘make up! their minds that for the next 10 or 15 years they would bave to work at least 10.hours.a day. «And ‘he didn’t stress very strongly anything about getting extra pay for extra hours. This speech was at once’ taken up as_a challenge by the labor forces all over the country; There are per- haps 12 million men and wothen who belong to labor unions. _ And» the most ‘of them are affiliated either with’ the Social Democratic, the Centre, the Democratic or the Com- munist parties—which together have a big: majority-in the \eichitag.” ‘The Social Democratic party as a ;Sovernment any tampering with ehe law or tho eight-hour principle. But, the Stinnes proposition isn’t dead. yet. Stinnes is a bulldog for pertinacity. In the meantime other big em- ployers of labor. have been feeling ‘out their workmen with two new propositions: FIRST—They would continue to pay theie men for the regular eight- hour day. But for the extra two hours they would pay them in goods. For instance, a worker in 8 sugar re- finery would be paid overtime in su- gar; a worker in a flour mill in flour, SECOND—Payment in products is obviously impossible in many indns- tries. For instance, an employe in a rolling mill wouldnt want to be paid with g.steel bar. In such cases em- ployers would pay the men’ their” overtime in marks. AGREEMENT EXPECTED ON |Strong Disposition For Short Time Federal Loans Is Manifested Washington, Dec. 26.—The farm cred‘t hearings of the senate bank- | ing committee, now in recess until next Wednesday, have reached a point where the committee members are beginning to form def‘nite: p'ni- ° ‘lons on pending farm credit exten- sion ‘bills. There have been several informal’ discussions at:which it ap- peared that on «some, outstanding features of proposed + legislation there was a tendency towards’ gener- al agreement. : Members. of the committee. say, there isa strong disposition favor an extension of the present. may iscount. A/present red’s- count: is limited to three months for commercial and six months for farm paper. Some committee membeéks believe the law may be modified so that nine’ months farm loan papers will be made available for redis- count, Another feature of proposed legislation which members appear to favor is the proposed increas¢ of the capital of ,Federal Reserve Banks from the present figures of $10,000 to something like $20,000 or $26,000, : . The capitalization to be required of .marketing associations before special cred:t - facilities \ may ‘be available to them in Federal Re- serve Banks is also receiving speci- al consideration by the committee, v senate members of the farm bloc are urging that only a comparative- ly: small cap'talization’ be. required, ‘based on, the idea that the market- ing’ demands would be better serv- ed’ by a large number of such merketing associations, Several members. ‘of the com- mittee in an informal conference to- day, however, declared | themselves in’ favor of requiring: such assoc’ a- tion to have a capital of $1,000,000 on the theory that bg associations’ would: have better credit facilities. Members of the committee also have shown themselves’ impressed with the needs of lower interest rates, especially in the rural states, but were agreed that while the agri- cultural industries would be mater;- ally aided by a decrease the federal was powerless to ex- tend. such relief, and that the ‘ farmers must look to their state. a direction. i ‘TELL OF THREATS Dickinson, N.
