COMEBACKS BACK
Even "HOme Rum Baker Gets

New York. March 16-Frank Baker,
once the home run king of the dia-
mond, is on his way back to baseball
After a years retirement, the swat
sultan befoA- |1ys of Babe Ruth,
is heading south for the camp of the
New York Yankees to try a come

There are those who, from a pre-

will gay, sit can't be done"
Others who sat at the ringside here
the oNher night and saw the ancient
Stanislaus Zbyszko, close to the half
century mark, conquer the youthful
Joe Setcher a perfect athlete, and one
of the best wrestlers in the game, will
say, cit can be done"
It's all up to Baker. If he does
come back it may mean a pennant for
the Yanks. If he doesn't, he will be
just one of those rather pitiful spec
tacles that the public looks at with
sympathy and wonders, why do
they?"
Last summer in Antwerp, Ted Meri-
dith. one time peer of all the middle
distance runners. and the holder of
several worlds records, failed pitifully
in an attempted comeback.
He lost prestige because Americans
much rather would have remembered
him as a retired champion than an

The ring is being cluttered up now
with attempted comebacks. High
prices being paid to boxers, is Turing

they can still earn some good money.

More Apples to Go by Boat

The name of another big refriger.
ated steamer coming here to engage ir
the business of transporting fresh Ore
gon and Washington apples to the mar
kets of Europe was announced by Nor
ton, Lilly & Co., of Portland, last week
as the Woodarra.
She is British steamer of 4.857 net
tons register owned by the British In
dia Steam Navigation Company and
built in 1919. She is scheduled to reach
Portland for loading by November l3.
The first shipment of apples from
Portland by refrigerated steamer will
be made early this week on the British
steamer Northumberland, now on Pu-
get Sound. This big freighter, the
largest ever listed for Portland loading
also will be handled by Norton, Lilly
& Co. She is operating under charter
to the lsthmian Steamship line.
This week is expected also to see the
loading of fresh apples aboard two big
British steamers operating in the joint
service of the Royal Mail Steam Pack
ct Company and Holland America line.
These are the Moliere and Cardigan
shire. Both of these steamers will be
handled by the Oregon-Pacific Com
pany.
Large stores of apples already have
been received at municipal terminal

California Apples Move Slowly

California apple growers are not ex-
periencing anything like a satisfactory
deal, but this situation will be temper
ary, in the opinion of number of San
Francisco dealers, who expect cOndi-
tions along this line to show marked
improvement in the near future.
The movement of California apples
is extremely slow now and growers are
praying for cool weather to stimulate
consumption. Light demand is indi-
Gated by the rapidity with which
stocks are plling up in icehouses.
Holdings in storage in San Francisco
increased almost "a, 600 boxes during
the week ending last Friday, according
to figures released by San Francisco
cold-storage companies. Current hold
ings are far in excess of those reported
at this time last year, amounting to
lit, 943 boxes. as compared with but
l9.087 on the corresponding date in
1920. Shipping demand for California
apples is light. Wires received by San
Francisco commission houses. Friday
morning declared that the situation as
regards the California product was not
very encouraging.
The first straight carloads of new
crop Spitzenburg apples of the season
we're received from the Hood River
district Friday. Sales were reported
at 81. SO to S2.7 per box.

MOVIES TAKEN OF
COLUMBIA GORGE

The following in the Sunday Ore.
gonian explains the recent actions of 8
big hyproplane over this region;
Motion picture views of matchless
scenes along the upper Columbia and
in the watershed of the White Salmon
river in Washington have been filmed
on a comprehensive scale for the first
time from an airplane and will be ex-
hibited locally. first, and afterward
throughout the United Staes, to adver-
| tise the 1925 fair.
The pictures were filmed by a Port
land motion-pieture company from one
of the big hydroplanes Of the Ayres
Airplane Company. in a series of haz-
ardous flights. The flying ship was
piloted by Lieutenant Vern u. Ayres,
war veteran who both during the re-
cent world struggle and since has be-
come accustomed to making perilous
trips through the air.
.'In all my experience, says the
flyer. i never made such difficult and
dangerous flights as during the past
week when | piloted a machine for the
Northwestern Electric Company over
the rugged mountains of the White

in order to take the kind of pictures
wanted by the Northwestern and the
air currents and pockets in the tremen-
dous gOrges over which we passed
were unlike any | had ever before en-
counteTed. Had anything gone wrong
with the air craft at any time On the
trip the cameraman would certainly
have been killed, as there was no place
to land in safety"
The pictures taken on the daring trip
of the hydroplane are said to be the
most unusual and remarkable ever
screened in the northwest from the
air.
1t was the idea of F. j. Buckley.
stock sales director of the Northwest
ern Electric Company, that the pro-
jected fair being primarily HYDRO
electric exposition, series of films
showing how electricity is produced,
and where, would be unique and inter-
esting publicity. for the world event.

Doug explained that the in a fight with his prisoner or trouble at home, but came from an accidental encounter with a Ford. A block used to raise the rear wheel was thrown out and upward with great force when the car was started and as luck would have it, the block landed on the deputy sheriff's nose.

WORLDS HOPE IS AMERICA.
Alone Can Avert Financial Disaster,
 London Times Says.

London, Nov. 2l.-Unless the Unit ed States shoulders the burden of world finance, only miracle can avert the financial catastrophe, which is ever drawing nearer, the Sunday Times declared editorially this morn ing.
 The newspaper regards the Hmita- ton of ornaments as an accomplished fact, for which it gives credit to the United States and passes on to it's discussion of finance, with the remark that it is hoped the American people will display equal courage and fore sight in coping with the vastly more imminent menace of world finance.
 America alone can stabilize credit by devising some scheme for financ- ing the nations now lowering on the brink of insolvency" it says, under the caption: Washington and World Finance"
 No one for a moment imagines that Germany is able to pay 800 mill lion gold marks January 15," the edi- torial continues. Tn the event of her failure to do so, the difficulties to French finance may prove insuper- able, and if France follows Germany into bankruptcy, the crash may well bring down the whole edifce of Euro pean credit.
 "In such an event the United States will suffer incalculable losses. The only way out is for America to ob- serve the precedent set by the Bank of England when it saved American credit in a minor crisis by drawing gold from all the world to loan where 1t was most needed.
 America holds the worlds gold today. The time is short. for, should Germany fail to pay, France may march into the Ruhr region, and then who can say what disarmament pro- posals may cot vanish in the smoke of war?"
