ing Managers Association.

PLUTE
PRESS IN R A c {
AT RUSS ENJOYS
Soviet In No Hurry,
Says Zinoviev.

LONDON, April 15-While the
British capitalist press is venting its
rage against the Workers Republic
of Russia the ENJOYS Of that mighty
power are calmly proceeding with
their task of attempting to reach an
economic agreement with the British
government in order to facilitate bust
ness between the two countries.
Yelping Ours Licked.
American correspondents yelp in
unison with the anti-Soviet cry set
up by the bloated Britishers and sent
only lying cables to their home pa
pers telling Of the confusion among
the Russian delegation, their lack OF
punctuality and so xorth.
The fact is that no set of foreign
representatives ever appeared in the
British Lions den with a higher
morale and more respectable aggre-
cation of man power supplied with
lethal weapons to bolster it than the
Soviet ENJOYS. John Bull, despite
his boosted yalor, was never oblivious
to the sharp end of the bayonet, and
the old Russian bear that used to give
him Nightmares was only a poor old
circus specimen compared to the
lusty animal who now shakes his
standards to the winds on the borders
OF John Bulls many colonies.
The British government is not ex-
actly in the best position to hurl any
attacks at Moscow because the work
ers seized their property and held it
against the former highwaymen.
Britain is the great international
pirate, that has left a trail of blood
thruout the world and is still holding
that loot by force, despite the at
tempts of countless millions of her
subjects to win back their rights,
even with their hearts blood.
zinovlev Speaks.
The Britons famed for politeness
have shown themselves in this case
to be common scolds whose anger
over the passing Of their power urges
them to vent their chagrin in sour
rilious attacks on the Russian ENJOYS.
The Soviet ENJOYS have quite a
heavy bill to present to the British
capitalist class. Speaking in Moscow,
zinoviev declared that there was no
hurry to reach an agreement with
Britain, tho the Soviet government
was willing to talk concessions to
concessionaires. The government
would take its obligations seriously

Henry Ford Is Still

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Friends
of the Mckenzie bill, providing for ac-

Muscle Shoals, manifested little con-

ton yesterday by Newton d. Baker,
former secretary of war, of the au-

Senator Helm, Alabama, reiterated
his prediction that the Mckenzie bill
would be favorably reported from the
agriculture committee and passed by
the Senate at the present session Of
Congress. Helm said there was a pos

the Norris plan for government oper-
alton of the nitrate fields being re-
ported to the Senate.
Should the committee turn down the

of the Ford offer intend to offer it in
the Senate as a substitute for the
committee proposal.

FAVORITE FOR DERBY
PLACED UNDER GUARD
AFTER PLOT RUMORS
Wise Counsellor Marked
for Gripping, His
Trainer Hears.

Louisville, n.y., April 2e.-When
Wise Counsellor, present favorite to
win the golden jubilee Kentucky
Derby, left today for Pimlico where
he is scheduled to start in the Freak
ness, he was accompanied by armed
guards. n precautiOn taken by Trainer
John Ward. after receiving reports of
a plot to cripple the colt and prevent
ms starting the Pimlico and Churchill
Downs classics.
A stable boy overheard a conversa-
ton between two strangers recently
concerning a plot against against the
colt. He told Ward. who cautioned the
stable foreman to keep close watch over
the thoroughbred. A second warning
OF such a plot. received from an un-
disclosed source was SO convincing
that the trainer placed three armed
guards and two watehtlogs near Wise
Csounsellor's stall the last two days of
his stay here.
The crack 3-year-old is said to have
been backed heavily to win both the
Preakness and the Kentucky DERBY
and future bookmakers stand to lose
heavily if he should finish first in
both events.
Il am told the incentive for injur-
ing Wise Counsellor's chances in the
Derby comes from a criminal class
that has been operating around race
tracks" Trainer Ward said. "This
gang has record that shows it has
been in plots before" 4
Wise Counsellor was purchased as

Copyright by The San Antonio Light
: New York, April 26.-Out from the
West came big Ike Boone this spring
with .4O2 batting average acumulat-
ed at San Antonio in 1923, and join
ed the Boston Americans. The hypo-
critical said he wouldn't do in the ma
jors-as the New York Giants had
proved.
Maybe he wasn't good enough for
the Giants, but it may interest the
fans to know that so far this season
Ike has been humping the ball to
the tune of .4I5-better than he did
in Texas-and that he looks as much
like hard-hitting, line-driying won
der as any batter in the baseball
show today, whether the league be big
or little. In only one game has he
gone without a hit, and in that one
they wouldn't serve them up TO him
when a hit meant run.
Lee Foil says he will make a good
fielder out of Boone. If he succeeds,
he has got the coming outfielder of the
big leagues, for this Boone boy can
knock the cover clean off any base
ball when he meets it direct. His line
drives shoot through the infield so fast
that they leave tail of burning
oxygen behind. like a comet.
Ike Got Homesicl1.
Previous inability TO come through,
here and there. where Boone has tried
il. has been due 10 homesickness and
lack of companionship. That's Fohl's
theory. Give him credit for it, be-
cause he is the man who has started
this big-thewed Alabama player along
the highway TO big league success.
Foil is confident Boone will keep it
up and some of the dOubters are be-
ginning to fall into line.
In his first game in New York as
a regular fielder, Boone was handi-
capped by high wind that was set
ting across the lot. And the field is
one that is beset with traps in the
form of angles and barriers. Boone
played il so well that be put the
Yanks in the lead without half try
ing. Things went for hits Iuat
shouldn't. But others have tumbled
on that field as well as Boone.
Good fielders have been made out of
bad fielders more than once. And Ike
needs a heap of practice on fast line
hits over his head and in front of
him. But good batters are seldom
made out of bad ones and that is
why Boone is worth working on. Get
him playing his right field and let him
keep his bat swinging and the Boston
Red Sox have got a slugger.
The American League race is
shaping up something like last year.
It's odd how they start away one sea
son after another. DetroitSwas top
shelf as late as May in 1923. and
then the Yankees came along and took
the place away from them. Detroit
has set the pace this year and they
have been fighting for every inch;
bunch, which is bent on aninhilating
them. If by another week the Yam
KEGS are out in front. last years start
will have been duplicated.
