cided that an expert boxer has no

that. his opponent should be given

foul the boxer should be. disqualified

\VASHINGTON. Dec... lit—Advent
of cold weather has worked to de-
crease production and employment
slightly in basic industries of' the
country. according to a. review of
business conditions made public to-
night by the Federal Reserve Board.
The board‘s report showed, how-
ever. that the decrease did not ex—
.ceed two per cent. in production and
three per cent. in employment.
Distribution of merchandise by
wholesaler-serum retailers has been
somewhat less active than in a few
months prior to November 1. the
board said. with wholesale. prices
showing a. slight further recession.
The agricultural industry with its
larger crops in wheat. hay and gen-
eral farm products appeared to be
in an improved condition.
Railroad freight shipments in
November showed about the4usu‘al
seasonal decline fI‘Oln ~October. the
report said. although November
movements were heavier than in
previous years.
The total volume of credit extend-
ed by member banks in leading
cities showed but little change be-
tween the middle of November and
the middle of December, the board
reported. There was a seasonal re—
duction in commercial and agricul-
tural loans in most districts but this
was offset by increased loans on le-
curities.

GEORGETOWN TO

Will Have to Build Up
New Football Eleven
Next Season
WASHINGTON. Dec. 28. —- The
graduation last June of several star
athletes left Georgetown University
with the problem of building up
practically an entire new football
team last fall, but the prospects for
the 1924 season are much brighter.
When such stars as Jack Flavin, Bill
Kenyon and Ruddy Comstock left
the university their loss was sorely
felt. but next year another Flavin
and another Comstock will be avail-
able for varsity athletics, for on the
1923 Freshmen team the younger
brother: of these two former stars
stood out as worthy successors.
Jack Flavin. now coach of Fresh-
man athletics at Georgetown; was a
star in football. baseball and basket-
ball. while Rudy 001115th was cap-
tain‘of the 19224 eleven. which defeat-

the Robins had the distinction of be-
ing the first baseman with the gnai- ‘
est number of errors.
Sam Boiine of the Reds ranks iii4<t
among the second busemen with 975
but he only played in ninety-six
games. Frank Frisch. playing 135 at
the keystone had .973. and every-r
thing else considered should be given I
the honor as the best second :aclzer
of the year. For a man who is re-

Pittsbt rgh to Philadelphia and then
to 1305 n—“Cotton” Tierney has a
very good fielding average.

third baseman. There is no question
about it. for he closed with an aver-
age of .975. which is twenty poinzs‘
better than any third saclzer who
played in anything like his lllln‘lhf‘l

the hot corner.
Another New York player gained
first place honors. Frank Snyder lead
