"HE pinch is the soft spot for the
 courageous performer in sport. It
 gives him a long advantage over his opponent.
 It was Ty Cobb who observed years ago that he found the going easiest in the fight situations.
 "When I come to bat in the ninth with our team a run behind, bases filled and two out, for instance. 1 know that the pitcher is worried a lot more than I am. He is going to over-exert himself, try to outdo himself. That's where he's likely to get into hole because he's going to put so much on the ball that he can't control it and he'll either have to walk me or lay it in. I always prefer the pinches," observed Cobb.-
 It works the other way, too. Christy Mathewson and Ed Walsh both pre- ferred to pitch in pinches. So did Nor decai Brown. They knew they had the edge on the batter in a pinch. The batter was doing the worrying. He was over-anxious and would offer at balls that he would ordinarily ignore. It it always that way with the lead CTS in sport.
 
 Walter Hagen is the unanimous choice in close match. Hagen has lost few close ones, where he was de- termined to win. The tight spots are easy for Hagen because he realizes the other fellow is doing the worrying. Ha' gen sees that he does by not worry him. self.
 Tilden squeezes through the tight matches for the same reason. He hold the threat that causes his opponent to worry and he knows that sooner or latel

 BANKERS CLAIMED
La Toilette RapS Federal Reserve
 Board .

By The Associated Pres.
 Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 16.-sena- tor Robert M. La Toilette left here early today to carry his light for the presidency into Minnesota, which has two farmer-labor senators. He speaks tonight in Minneapolis and then will swing into South Dakota for campaign speech tomorrow night in Sioux Falls.
 It appeared probable today that in both of those addresses the inde- pendent candidate for president would discuss the problems of the farmer. That was his subject here last night before an audience which filled the coliseum, the largest audi torium in Des Moines.
 MT. La Toilette renewed his charge that the federal reserve board fin conspiracy with New York and Chicago bankers" put into effect a defiation policy four years ago which proved ruinous to Ameri- can agriculture. The board, he de- clared has worked hand in glove with Wall street to exploit the faEm- CT and the producer"
 If elected, the Wisconsin senator said he would make banking credit "the servant of the people rather than it's master" by providing for the organization of cooperative banks and for the functloning Of the federal reserve board as it was in- tended to function. In addition he declared, legislation was needed to control interest rates, prevent usury and to Insure the use of the peo- ple's own credit by the people on reasonable terms" ..
 During his speech, Senator Ia Toilette endorsed Senator Brook hart, of this state, who is seeking reelection as a republican, although outspoken in his criticism of both President Coolidge and his running mate, Charles G. Dawes.

GREAT DlRIGIBLE
 LINES PREDICTED
Dr. Ecksnsr Thinks Air Line
 the Coming. Thing

Lakehurst. N. J., Oct. 16.-While the whole world marvelled at their feat the 31 members of the party that travelled from Germany to America in the ZR-3 today enjoyed their first full day of rest since leaving Friedrichshafen Sunday. They spent the evening before calmly telling the story of the flight in phrases that seemed almost commonplace compared to the mag nitude of their accomplishment.
 While they talked they smoked a pleasure that was forbidden on the ship because of the danger of an explosion.
 The Germans who composed the crew which guided the giant airship on her epoch-making flight left the huge craft reluctantly. They were fond of their craft with the fond ness of. marines for the vessel that has brought them safely to port. Eckener Enthusiastic
 Dr. Hugo Eckener, Zeppelin presi- dent, vino commanded the zR-S on its trans-Atlantic voyage, was so enthusiastic about the accomplish ment of his craft that he expressed the belief that a regular line Of airships carrying freight and pas sengers between Germany and the United States might be established soon.
 He said the trip could be made in less than S1 hours and 17 minutes, the time required by the ZR-3 to make the voyage. Dr.. Eckener explained that fog and ad- verse winds had delayed him slight ly and added that the time between shores was really less than the flying time because the ship was at point over the Massachusetts coast, where 1t could have landed safely, 7S hours after 1t left Friedrichshafen.
 The giant ship was declared fit for immediate flight today after an in- spection which disclosed everything in perfect order.
 Releasing Gas
 The task of releasing from the mammoth craft it's dangerous gas, representing an expenditure of $11,6O0, is under way and probably will be completed today. Immedi- ately after the Zeppelin landed, 40 seamen began preparations to de- fate the gas bag.
 Because of the dangers in con- serving hydrogen gas the contents of the 13 cells will be allowed to escape into the air instead of into tanks When the great craft is reinfated helium gas will be used. It was estimated that approximately 2C per cent of the hydrogen gas in the bags was waived out to reduce the buoyancy of the Zeppelin In land. ing yesterday.
 In return for its expenditures ir connection with the ZR-3, the gov ernment collected less than $50 il duties when the craft landed Chased as German merchantmen the Zeppelin was boarded and In : spected by customs, health and i'm migration authorities as if she wer an ocean liner.
 3 The manifest prepared by thu commander of the ZR-S describet the Zeppelin as ''in ballast carryin, I eight sacks of mail.
 Visitors who inspected the Zeppe lin were struck by the luxuriou equalling some of the good hotels to it's kitchen, unexcelled by man, hotels. Bathrooms, with hot ant cold water, gave the impression o a hotel suite. Even temperatur in the sleeping quarters is assure, by a new system of ventilation which keeps fresh, cool air circua ting at all times.
