KINGS RETAINED CROWNS Most Champion* In Sport Retained Their Titles During Year (t'nlterl I’rrnn Service.) New York, Jan. 2—With the exception of golf and boxing, leaders in most sport remained in possession of their honors through 1922. There was practically a new list of cham pions in football, but that is such an unstable game that many annual changes are forced by natural conditions. Professional baseball retained most of its leading clubs and tennis had no important changes. In the college field, rowing and track and field, two major sports found the same powers in command. Winning of the two major league pennants by New York clubs on successive years established a new record for baseball. The Giants, in winning their second successive world's championship, also accomplished a feat that hadn't been equaled in several years. Baltimore ran away with the International League pennant and won the "little world's series” from St. Paul, the pennant winners of the American Association. Football had its greatest years and the outstanding sectional teams, if they are disputed as champions, were: East, Princeton; middlewest, lowa and Michigan; south, Vanderbilt; Missouri valley, Nebraska; Pacific coast, California. Familiar faces were all found in familiar places after a most success - ful year of tennis. The list of champions below found only one change and that wa§ because William T. Tilden did not defend his British title: Davis cup champions, United States; world’s singles champion, William T. Tilden; world’s woman champion. Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen; American woman’s champion, Mrs. Molla Mallory; British singles champion, Gerald L. Patterson. ! All the golf crowns changed hands t during a spectacular and most interesting season which saw the rapid rise >f young players and the decline oj the “old guard.” The close of the season found: World’s champion, dene Saf-azen; British open champion. Walter Hagen: American open champion, Gene Sarazen; P. G. A. champion, Gene Sarazen; amateur chain pion, Jesse Sweetzer; amateur woman's champion, Miss Glena Collett. California won the national and the eastern intercollegiate track and field championship for the second time and .he rowing eight of the United States javal academy won its third title. Passage of Georges Carpentier, lohnny Buff and Gene Tunney as ring champions were unusual develop- • ments of the year in puglism. Carpentier dropped all his title when he was i mocked out by Battling Siki; Johnny Buff lost his flyweight title to Pancho Villa and Harry Greb beat Gene Tun , aey for the light heavyweight title. The present champions are: World’s • heavyweight, Jack Dempsey; European heavyweight, Battling Siki; world's light heavyweight, Battling . Siki; American light heavyweight. Harry Greb; world’s middleweight. Johnny Wilson; New York’s world’s middleweight, Mike O’Dowd; world’s welterweight, Mickey Walker: world's junior welterweight, Pinkey Mitchell; world's lightweight, Benny Leonard; world’s junior lightweight, Johnny Dundee; world's featherweight, John ny Kilbane; New York’s world's featherweight, Johnny Dundee; world’s bantamweight, Joe Lynch; world’s flyweight, Jimmy Wilde; American flyweight, Pancho Villa. The titles bestowed on Mike O'Dowd and Johnny Dundee are trick gifts of the New York boxing commission and Mitchell was elected to his crown by a public vote. , o 30 To 80 Miles An Hour Common Speed For Birds i Certain species of hawks have a speed of 200 feet a second, or about 136 miles an hour, says the Biological Survey of the United States Depart jnent of Agriculture. This might be a suitable rate for a racing airplane. The canvasback duck can fly from 130 to 160 feet a second, but its usual rate of 60 to 70 miles an hour would be pretty fast to be enjoyable in a plane making a pleasure trip. The crow is the least rapid of a list of 22 migratory birds, flying an in significant average of 45 ft. a second, or 30 miles an hour. Os course this speed maintained steadiy in an auto- , mobile would mean very fair rate of progress, defying the speed laws in many communities. Most of the birds listed, however, do bettor than the crow. Curfews and Jacksnipos can fly 55 and 65 1\ -1 a second, while quails, prairie, . chickens, and. ruffed grouse can make 75 feet. The dove can reach a speed of 100 feet a second. or 68 miles an hour, although its usual rate is less. Redheads, bluewinged teals, green-winged teals, Canada geese, and different varieties of ' brant can fly over 100 feet per second, j 1 ranging in speed from 68 to 98 miles ' au hour, but usually fly at a much i slower rate.

This nervous, irritable feeling lasts until after they ave had their cup of coffee—sometimes it takes the second cup. The reason for this is simple; their nerves are crying out for the caffeine contained in the coffee they crave. And now, if this “strikes home,” ask yourself why you should not quit a habit that makes you nervous and irritable. Be your natural self try doing without coffee for a week or so—and drink rich, fragrant Postum instead.
