OVER 70 YEARS OF SUCCESS

One of Best

National league players in speaking
of Sherdel, tell you that he has a
slow ball that is most deceptive and
then another that is even mucn
slower.
Sherdel was away to poor stars
IN the spring, but in the final stages
of the race has been one of the
most effective pitchers of the Card
iral's staff.
1t was he who pitched the game
that cinched the pennant for st. Louis.
Relieving Flint Rhem, the right-nanc
ace of the Cards, after the Giants
had made three runs in the rirst
inning, Sherdel held McGraw's club
in check the rest of the way, while
his teammates overcame the carry
lead.
While Reinhart is given credit for
having more natural stuff than Sher-
DEL his main forte is control. He
is one of the very few southpaws
in the game who makes the opposition
earn its way to. first.
look for Hornsby to make much
use of Sherdel and Reinhart. Occa
sionally the Yanks make life un-
pleasant for even southpaws, how
ever.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-10-03

will Bill Sherdel and Art Relnhart
the two star southpaws of the ST
Louis Cardinals, get plenty of action
in the world series?
If Manager Rogers Hornsby uses
the same dope that American league
managers have followed all season.
they will.
In American league circles the man
agerial opinion is that the Yanks
are weak against left-handers, par
ticularly those who can slow up.
The Yanks are sluggers pure and
simple, with one or two exceptions
and slow diet is not usually relished
by clouters
However, one American league left
Ihander, Bob Grove, who boasts ter
rifle speed, was just as effective
against the. Yanks as any of the
southpaws who rely almost entirely
on medium speed and change OF
pace.
Grove, when he is fast, and he is
that way most of the time, is just
as tough for right-handed hitter
as a left-hander. His speed is the
exception. That is what makes him
SO effective.

Courteous, personal service is a
keynote in success in any business
and in Douglas one is specially struck
with the keenness of this motto in
the Hollomon Brothers hardware
store on G avenue. This store is a
new institution in Douglas, the HOMO
mon Brothers firm having purchased
the store during the past year and
made many changes in it's manage
ment and policy.
The aim of this store seems to be
to give every customer the thing he
asks for and their stock is very com-
plete. In all cases which arise IN
which they do not have the article
or implement requested they make
every effort to procure it at once
for the customer. Such service is
refreshing and gives the customer
the feeling that the store is depend-
able and wishes to give full value
for each dollar spent.

BY HOVAL A. SMITH,
Delivered mt WinSlOw, Arizona, Sep
tember 25. 1926.

The only persistent argument the
free copper champion advances is that
our copper. mining industry must ex.
port raw ingot copper in order tc
survive industrially.
The free trader never dares to offer
an explanation as to how our 12-cent
domestic copper can compete abroad
with the 6-cent foreign produced cop
.per.
Authoritative copper export statis-
tics for the last five years for which
reliable data are available namely
.1920-1924, denote that only per cent
of our home copper production was
available for export and 81 per cent
was consumed within our home areas
The average price of copper for this
five-year period was 1871 cents, hence
an increase of the copper price TO only
151 cents would have brought the same
amount of money to our copper pro-
ducer and retained the 8 per cent OF
export copper for future national
necessities.
In analyzing the per cent of cop
per available for export we find that
63.5 per cent of it was in manufac-
tured form and only 36.5 per cent in
raw ing.ot. form.
This means that only 3.3 per cent OF
the total copper produced within the
United States for the five-year period
1920 1924 has fixed the world price Of
1877 cents as a price we must accept
IT. is the very essence of economic vi
cicusness that so small percentage OF
export ingot raw copper should deny
us the parity price of 29 cents per
pound 1t is tragic to contemplate the
ruin that free tradism has wrought
within our Arizona copper mining dis
tricts and the economic distress suf-
fered by our Arizona copper miner the
past five years through exporting sc
negligible a. quantity of domestic raw
ingot copper.
The manufactured copper article is
rigidly protected, while the copper
ingot is unprotected.
The protected copper manufacturer
of the eastern United States therefore
exports twice as much copper as the
unprotected copper producer kf the
west.
If the protected copper manufacturer
actually exports twice as much copper
as the unprotected copper producer
why cannot a protected copper producer
also export ingot copper if he so de-
sires? All protected domestic indus.
tries export any surplus they may pos
sess. Why cannot protected copper
producer do so likewise?
The free trade copper champion
never has dared to reply to the fore
going-has always refrained from do
ing so, knowing full we'll that the pro-
tected copper ingot can be exported
just as readily when it remains unpro-
tected.
The free trader also harps on dis.
criminatory foreign tariff reprisals in
case ingot copper is accorded protec-
ton. The hypocrisy of this argument
is so evident, due to the fact that the
foreigner has already exercised all the
discrimination possible against oul
present annual eight millions of dol
lars of foreign trade activity.
There is no doubt. however. but that
the free trader will continue to advo-
cate that the copper mining industry OF
Arizona be sacrificed on the altar of
international commercialism, thereby

Browns pick YanI5s

The st. Louis Browns with very few
exceptions are of the opinion that
the Yankees will beat the Cardinals.
1--WE trimmed them two games In
the spring without any great trouble,
remarked Second Baseman Marty
McManus, 'and the Yanks have been
beating US all summer.
MAY sound funny for member
Of a. seventh place club to say it,
but wish the Browns were playing
the Cards for the championship.
That is one club we can beat
The fact that the Yankees were
running wild over the Browns in a
double-header that afternoon, 1912 ana
1914, probably accounts in measure
of the high opinion the Browns Shave
for the Yanks.

HART, LOCKHART And De PAOLO IN
CLOSE CONTEST FOR A. A. A. RACE
CHAMPIONSHIP FOR YEAR OF 1926

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 2-The
1926 struggle for the automobile rae
ling championship of America has be-
come one of the tightest races in
the history of the speedways, and
is being fought out by three hard
riding drivers, it is disclosed in an
announcement just made by the con-
test board of the American Auto
mobile association, which supervises
all sanctioned speed classics.
Frank Lockhart, young California
flash, in winning the Altoona, Pa,
$50 mile race on September 1S, ousted
Peter DePaolo, Americas 1925 cham
pion, from second place and is driving
with a winning complex. Into the
championship home stretch accord
ingly, there are now. headed three
drivers-the champion to be decided
by the outcome of the next three
races. These remaining three races
begin with that at Salem, N. H., on
October 12, followed at Charlotte, N.
c., by the second on November II.
The final event will be run. at Los
Angeles, Calif., on Thanksgiving Day.
The closeness of the race was
revealed in the A. A. A. contest
boards compilation of point standings
of speedway drivers While Harry
Hartz still leads with total of z,349
points, his place is in peril; Lockhart,
the most determined driver the speed
ways have known in many years,
is second coming like the wind, and
Peter Depaolo is running third. Lock-
hart has 1850 points, Depaolo LAYS.
Points are awarded first place drivers
in each race on the basis of twice
as many points as the miles run. All
finishers down to tenth place also
obtain points on a graduated scale.
Although Hartz still has a 590-point
lead over the hardest driver the
Pacific coast ever produced, his title
is not secure. Lockhart is within
striking distance, but has a hard row
to hoe. Should he win all first places
at SALEM he would garner 450 points,
but even then Hartz, providing he
won none, still would lead by 40.
But the contest from there would
be anybody's.
DePaoIo, the contest boards totals
reveal, has the least chance Of the
three to duplicate his feat of last
year and win the championship. But
he does have chance. He has just
had delivered from the Duesenburg

of all times.
: The Altoona race brought into puO-
lie notice again the front wneeI drive
racing car. Two new ones made
their appearance in this race, one
driven by Leon Duray and one by
Peter Kreiss. Ironically, these two
new cars finished second and third,
while the two front drive cars used
through the summer by the veterans
Cooper and Lewis dropped out with
engine trouble.

Free Trade Copper Argument

hoping to satisfy the Unsuitable greed
of foreign copper investors and appeast
the pseudo wrath of international debt
cancellation intriguers.
There is no question but that the
champions of continued free, tradisn
for our Arizona copper industry viii
continue to advocate with brazen eff
frontery that no deathly menace as yet
confronts the Arizona copper miner
These advocates Of international com
mercialism will continue their econ
omic death chant until our Arizona
copper miner is safely enshrouded, Oh
until they are smashed by our Arizona
electorate on November 2, 1926.
If Cameron is defeated, these dis
cples of international commercialisn
will bring unabated happiness to the
hearts of foreign exploiters of slave
labor If Cameron is reelected, these
disciples will be cursed by their mas
ters for not completing the economit
misery now besetting our Arizona cop
per miner.
Ralph Cameron well knew the ma
chinative designs of the masters direct
ing the policy of continued free tradisn
for our Arizona copper miner when he
stated on June 26, 1926, in the United
States senate, the following:
Il presume the domestic copper miner
must sit complacently by until the
Benguela railroad is completed; like
wise calmly await installation of i'm
proved metallurgical details before
petitioning for protection; wait until
the Andes Copper company production
invades our domestic market; wait un-
i'll the rest of the South American pro.
ducers expand their production facili-
ties.
"Thus should our domestic copper
miner await this catastrophe economic
deluge, as pacificists would have us
await invasion before organizing ma
tional defense
The free trader has never been able
to answer the unassailable arguments
advanced by Ralph Cameron in the
April 8 and June 26, 1926, copper tariff
speeches delivered in the United States
senate.
The unanswerable facts advanced by
Senator Cameron within the United
States senate in support of his copper
tariff measure cannot be refuted bJ
the free trade copper champion. The
free trader never intends to answer
the matchleSS logic of Senator Cam
eron's copper tariff arguments. His
only way out is to destroy Cameron
hoping thereby to stifle the cry fol
relief which is arising in ever-increas
ing volume within our Arizona copper
mining districts.
Why doesn't the free trade copper
champion explain when our Arizona
copper miner may expect to receive {
livable wage-a parity wage of at leas
50 per day, the same being equivalen1
70 that received by all the other first
class craftsmen of our country?
Why doesn't the free trader explain
to the businessmen, homeowner, ant
all the other residents of our Arizona
copper districts when they may expec
an end to the economic misery beset
ing them now and for the past five
years?
Why does not the free trade copper
champion allay the fears of all Arizona
by explaining and showing in minute
detail that there is no fear of. theil
taxes being doubled due to losing theil
basic industry, namely, the copper min.
ing industry, which pays one-half the
state taxes of Arizona?
Why doesn't the free trade copper
champion explain the absurd economic
