TOWLES DENOUNCES MEN
ATTEMPTING TO RELITTLE
CAMERON'S PROGRAMME

John R. Towles, collector of in
ternal revenue for Arizona, whose
appointment was confirmed Mon
day, by the United States Senate,
when interviewed and asked for
an explanation of the opposition
against such confirmation, was We
hement in his denunciation of
those who prompted the filing in
Washington of a protest. He re-
ferred to those opponents as char
acter assassins, political scaven-
gers, disgruntled politicians and
disappointed job seekers.
"The protest is merely the work
of few character assassins," he
said. "Their regular business
seems to be to take advantage Of
every chance to discredit Senator
Ralph H. Cameron by attacking
him, his adherents and his pres.
ent or past business associates, or
by any means fair or foul. for the
principal purpose of obscuring what
he has already accomplished for
Arizona and to belittle the con-
structive program which he has so
successfully undertaken and is
daily perfecting," he continued.
"These political scavengers are
now in Phoenix, after having per-
formed similar work elsewhere, ap-
parently as the lackeyes of certain
interests in this state, which are
antagonistic to the senator" he
concluded.

MOVIE NOTES

Universal's long heraIded super-pro-
duction THE PHANTOM OF THE
OPERA has new reached st. CroiX.
Based on a novel by the French author
Castor Leroux, the story was sugges-
ted by the fact that the celebrated
Grand Opera House in Paris is built
over a maze of cellars, sub-celIars,
passageways and canals used III genera
tons past as dungeons iand torture
chambers.
Selling upon the striking contrast of
the gaiety and revelry of the opera and
the dark mysterious chambers beneath.
Leroux has woven a fantastic story
which has been produced on a. stupen-
dous scale.

interest to nobody save its humble pos
SCISSOR, is that this thing of fabulous
salaries paid to sporting stars has al
ready been overdone and cannot help
having an unfavorable reaction, not
only directly in the sporting world
but indirectly in the nation at large.
When men like Dempsey and Grange
get one hundred thousand dollars for
an afternoons work or an evenings
work, countless thousands are bound to
become disgruntled and bitterly envi-
Gus. This is not Dempsey's fault nor
Oranges fault. 1t is the fault of pres
emit conditions. 1t is the fault of pro-
moters who discovered that the Ameri-
can public would go the limit in the
matter of paying fancy prices to see a
great star in action. There is logi-
cal limit TO everything. and it was
passed long ago by sporting promoters.
The inevitable reaction will not be
pleasant.
But the fact remains that the pres
ent triumvirate, Dempsey, Grange and
Ruth. has eclipsed all records in the
sporting world. That we shall ever
see three more such money getters we
doubt very much.

BILL MARRIOTT
WORTH $4,000
To ROBINS

BROOKLYN, Dec. 26.-Bill Mar
riott, the third baseman obtained at
the waiver price of $4,000 from the
the regular third base job in the Brook
Ign lineup next year. But, for all
that. he seems to be a fairly good
$4,000 investment.
Marriott is no youngster and he has
been hanging around for quite awhile.
He is 81 years old, and first came up
to the big leagues with the Cubs some
seasons ago. The Cubs let him drift
on and Boston obtained him from Mo-
bile. of the Southern Association, in
the 1924 draft.
Last spring at the training camp of
the Braves, Marriott did not command
any prominent place in the plans of
Manager Davy Bancroft. But he
forced recognition by crashing all sorts
of pitching hard and ranging far and
wide around third base to grab all
sorts of difficult chances.
Bill started the season as the regu-
lar Boston third baseman. For time
he hit hard and accomplished every
thing a regular third baseman is sup
posed to accomplish. But he was so
unfortunate as to be in the throes of
a hitting slump when Bancroft obtain
ed Andy High from Brooklyn. High
was placed at third ,ase and did well
enough to keep Marriott out of the
lineup for the rest Of the season.
At that, Marriott's work for the
year, taken as a whole, was consider
ably better than the work of Iii"
Andy. In 103 gaTes Marriott batted
go, while Highs hitting record for
104 games was .257.
Marriott will have considerable COM
petition for that third base job next
spring and it would not be at all sur
prising if he failed to make the regu-
lar grade. But, in any event. he's
handy man to have around and ball
club situated as the Robins are in the
matter of infielders easily worth the
amount paid for him.

CHAMPION SWIMMERS
Of GERMANY COMING

MAGDEBURG, Germany, Jan. ..
Eric Rademacher and Gus-'v Froe-
Itch, of the Schwimmsport Club Hellas.
of this city, will sail for the United
States the last week in January to
engage in a competitive tour. They
will be accompanied by Kurt Behrens
of the same club, former American
fancy diving champion.
Particular interest in America is at
tached to the coming visit of Rade-
macher and Froelich, respective breast
and back stroke swimming champions
of Germany, not only because it will
add an international flavor to the in
door season there. but because the
noted pair promise to provide keen
competition for American topnotchers.
Rademacher holds most of the
worlds records for breast-stroke swim
ming and among them marks for the
three classic European fixtures, j. e.,
1 III for 100 meters (109.36 yards),
. 80 % for 200 meters and 6 :05 for
100 meters.
True, a new standard of 6:01 for
400 meters recently was claimed for
Louis Van Parys, Of Belgium, but it
has yet to receive official recognition.
Moreover, despite the latter feat, the
belief is universal in Germany that
Rademachcr is invincible at the breast
stroke. regardless of distance.
Froelich never has attained worlds
record speed at the back stroke, but
he has negotiated 100 meters in :13,
which represents about l :06 for 100
yards.

SO much for Greenfield, the bail
player. The young man, himself, is n
notable character. He is type. a
distinctive type of his country. He is
a bashful boy, ard it is hard to get
him to talk at all. But while he is
backward in all the little social ways
and customs, he is forward enough
in n crisis.
Aud herein he is natural product
Of the Bluegrass hills. From zine i'm
memorial they have had definite AMI
rigid customs in that country. 1t is
bad form for a Southern Kentucky
boy to get clustered or excited or talk
loud. He is coolest and most compe-
tent when he has n rifle in his hand.

while pitching in a pinch for Wash

Southern Kentucky boy. When a Kin
from that section has class at all he

This matter has been thoroughly gone into before, however, and last nights action was merely the final gesture, one which has been ex- pected since the committee report ed its plans for q shaft and terrace on the top of Walnut Hill park, re- placing the wooden structure at the West Main street entrance 10 the park.
 It was decided to allow thirty minute parking on West Main street between Washington and Cedar, instead Of the five minutes which has lately been the rule. There is no great moment in that action. although it is one of which we believe the majority of mer- chants and their customers will ap- prove.
 There were no fireworks between council members, no serious dis agreements, business was attended to and the meeting adjourned. Lit tie comment is necessary.

Charles s. Churchill Rolls Up Sleeves At Age Others Choose
 For Retirement

Seventy years of age on Septem- Der 2o, Charles s. Churchill, for merly of New Britain and promi- nent in railroad circles in the south, has just announced that he will open offices as a consulting engineer in Roanoke, Va.
 Mir. Churchill was born in New Britain, September 22, 1856. He later removed to New Haven and was educated in the grammar and high schools there, graduating from Yale university in 1878. He first en- tered railroad work in New Eng land shortly after his graduation, being transit man on what was known as The Parallel Railroad" This company was sponsored by men who planned to build a road parel- leling the New York. New Haven & Hartford between New York and Providence. Later he entered the employ of the Norfolk and Westrn road, staying with that concern for 40 years. At the end of last month he retired after having been vice. president in charge of purchases, real estate and valuation.
