LII BLUE MAY
PROVE CHAMP
BASERUNNER
Manager George Moriarty of
Detroit Tigers Makes
Statement to Evans
(BY BILLY EVANS)

"Lu Blue has great chance to lead
the American League in stolen bases
this year
Manager George Moriarty Of the
Detroit Tigers was the speaker. Lu
Blue, his crack first sacker, had
just stolen third base. A beautiful
hook slide enabled him to avoid the
touch.
Before the era of swat in baseball,
leading either the American or Ma
tioEl League in stolen bases was Il
much coveted honor.
In 1915, Tyrus Raymond Cobb, hav-
ing one Of his greatest years, pill
fcred 90 sacks to show the way to
the rest Of the American League
speed merchants.
Then Along Came Ruth
A few years later Babe Ruth
changed the entire scheme Of base
ball with his big black bat. Instead
of contest of science, in which one
run ut Il time was eagerly sought,
baseball became SUGGEST in which
brute strength made the one run
style Of play obsolete.
Base running since then has be-
come more or less lost art as a
prominent factor in winning big
league ball games. Last season
Johnny Mostil led the American
League with 80 stolen bases while
Hazen Cuyler was high in the Ma
tional with the same number.
Base running is due to be revived
in the majors this year. am in
clned to think Detroit will make
much use of the great speed it pos
sesses. Manager Moriarty has al
ways been a firm believer in smart
base running.
His Line of Reasoning
Since Lu Blue stole only l3 bases
last year, the belief of his manager
that he has great chance 20 lead
the American League in stolen bases,
will probably come as great sur
prise. OF an inquisitive turn of mind,
| asked why and got this reply:
Blue is fast, has deceptive slide,
gets into his stride quickly and has
brains. Those are four Of the six
necessary requisites Of good base
runner. The others arc the ability
to acquire a good lead and be able
to break with the pitch.
"Once Blue learns the knack of
getting the break, he is going to sur
prise with his ability to steal bases.
incidentally, he will improve in all
other features of smart base run
ming. which, after all, is making the
best possible use Of the speed you
possess.
keep your eye on Lu Blue this
year. Watch him step"
Tigers Practiced Base Running
In most of the training camps little
or no time is spent in attempting to
improve the base running Of the ath-
letes. In this respect the Detroit
Tigers differed. An hour or more
was spent each day in learning the
tricks of base running.
"The steal is only one of the many
ways to make use Of speed on the
Bases says Moriarty. Il seek to
make the Tigers club that will
take as well as make the breaks on
the bases"
Blue prior to his major league de-
but was rated a crack base runner.
In 1919 with Portland in the Coast
League he stole IA bases. His best
major league record is 10.

'WHFTESIDE IS
MUCH ENJOYED
IN ARABIAN
Distinguished Actor and Ca.
pable Company at Auditor
ium Saturday Night

Walker Whitesidc's coming to Bis
marck is invariably looked upon as
one Of the supreme dramatic events
of the theatrical season, and his APP
pearance ut the city auditorium Sat
urday night was no exception to the
rule. for his unusual stage ability is
all the more appreciated in these
days of scarcity of attractions of the
type to which "Thc Arabian" belongs.
The distinguished actor and his
capable company are now on u trans
continental tour following a spec
tacular run Of the production for
several months at the Studcbaker
theatre in Chicago, where it played to
capacity houses ut all times.
Walker Whiteside has succeeded
in creating the atmosphere of the
desert in his thrilling mclodrama.
The first act shows II colorful Cairo
scene at night. Bathed in the Max
field Parrish blue of the desert, the
towers and minarcts Of the mosques
are dimly outlined in the misty dis
lance. Weird cries resound in the
streets below where a British rcgi-
ment is assembling for its long trek
through the burning sands. The last
two acts show Add Ell Reys palatial
tSut-uVmC bu al OuSIS III Tic uCSeTl.
Gorgeous stuffs bcdeck the interior
of the tent; gilded ornaments and
lamps hang from the tent poles and
many hued rugs and cushions adorn
the sumptuous desert home Of the
famous bandit. The production is
beautifully lighted and costumcd
throughout
Local thcatre-goers are we'll ac-
quainted with Walker Whiteside's
stage ability and little need be said
concerning it here. Suffice it to say
that as Add ell Rey, the dashing
bandit of the Egyptian desert, he
portrays one of the most fascinating
of characters admirably. In his sup
port Saturday night was found quite
the strongest array of talent he has
ever brought here. Miss Camelia
Campbell enacted the role of the
dashing English heroine, Diane, ex-
ceptionally we'll, while Miss Wilva
Davis was also very good as Nitah.
The parts Of Colonel Gordon, Major
Cromwell and Captain Fenway, Of
ficers Of the British regiment, were
we'll taken by Barry Whitcomb, Paul
McGrath and Frank Henderson, re-
spectively.

New Equipment For
Farm Loan Handling
Has Been Installed

A new set of records and equip
ment, which it is claimed will in
crease efficiency in handling Of farm
loans, has been installed by the
state treasurer's office.
The new system will be in full
operation May l and it is claimed
that it will make the possibility of
error in handling accounts practic-
ally impossible. 1t replaces. the pres
ent system of handling loans, which
the treasurer's office claims is high
~ inadequate for efficient manage
ment of the large loaning business
now done by the state through the
land commission department.
Although there has been large
increase in the amount Of business
done by this department, no en-
rloyes have been added, according to
the treasurer's office. With the new
system in operation it is claimed
the same force should be able to
handle all the new loans which will
be made in the near future without
additional help.

STOCK MARKET
NEARS BREAK
Steadies After Midday, How
ever, When Buying Sup.
port Is Developed

New York, April 25.-tR-Thc
stock market appeared to be on the
verge of sharp break this morning
down 2 to IL points in one of the
widest selling movements in recent
weeks, but steadicd after midday,
when buying support appeared.
Mississippi river floods and the Chi
nese situation were blamed for the
selling ny commentators who like to
associate market movements with the
days news, but in banking quarters
there was rather general DISPOSE
ton to characterize the decline as a
correction Of a top-heavy speculative
position. III
Renewal Of selling pressure
against the oils followed the publi-
cation of the quarterly report of the
Maryland company, which showed
earnings of only nine cents a share,
as against $l.79 in the first quarter
of last year. Steel were liquidated
freely on reports of further decline
in demand. but United States Steel
common was fairly we'll supported on
on the possibility of some special
divided development at tomorrow's
meeting.
Southwestern rails, which were
among the strongest stocks in the
market last week, fell back rather
sharply as more consideration was
given to reports of flood and storm
damage in that section of the coun-
try. The rise to record high levels
by Delaware 4 Hudson was associat-
ed with the prospect Of a sspcial dis
tributiOn Of treasury assets to stock
holders in the near future.
Speculation for the advance was
not entirely abandoned, however; ag-
gressive buying operations taking
place in Lima Locomotive, u. S. Cast
Iron Pipe, General Electric and In
ternational Nickel, but the early
gains were not maintained.
The weekly report of federal re-
serve brokers' loans to be isseued aft
or the close Of the market is expect
ed to show an increase of about
$40, ZOO, 900, which is not regarded as
excessive in view of the recent sharp
advance in many issues, although it
will bring the total to another new
high record for the year. I
The closing was weak. Prices be-
gan to tumble again n the final hour
when aggressive bear attacks uncov-
cred stop loss orders and United
States Steel, which had shown good
resistance to selling pressure began
to weaken. Baldwin and Houston oil
lost six, points and U. s. Steel six
points. General Motors, Internation-
al Harvester, 'Woolworth, Timksn
Roller Bearing; Colorado Fuel and
Lehigh Valley were among the many
shares which ruled to 4 points UNI
der last weeks figures. Total sales
approximately 100000 shares. &

WHEAT MARKET
is IRREGULAR
Prices Go Upward Today, But
.Recede on Account Of
Profit Taking

Chicago, April 25.-(P)-Wheat
prices ran upward fast here today
but subsequently recedcd on account
of profit taking. Unexpected high
err. quotations at Liverpool and big
decrease Of the amount of wheat on
ocean passage had much to do with
the advance. The United States Wis
siblc wheat supply decreased 4,035,-
600 bushels and export sales from
North America total 100000 bush
els, but these factors were somewhat
offset by better weather for domes-
tic winter wheat and by renewal
Of spring seeding in Canada.
Wheat closed irregular a net low
err to isMM advance, corn Is to "
off, oats bMA to Y. down, and pro-
visions showing 2 to IL cents gain.
Notwithstanding that world ship.
ments of wheat increased nearly
10000 bushels in the last fort
night, announcement was made today
that the amount of wheat afloat for
Europe shows Il decrease of $500, 900
bushels, and is now only 71,472,OOO
bushels with European continetal
countries purchasing heavily. 1t
was also pointed out that approx
matcly half the entire world ship
ments last week were from North
America. showing unusual depend
ence abroad on the United States and
Canada for supplies.
Advices were also at hand from
the United States department of ag-
riculture that world import require
ments during the remainder OF this
season will be probably larger than
for the corresponding time last year.
Stocks Of domestic wheat in Europe
are generally low, the official reports
say, and prices throughout surplus
regions show a rising tendency, with
increased substitution Of wheat for
rye.

: CROP REPORT

At scattered points in the North
west . small, amount Of seeding has
been accomplished aimee q week ago,
says the weekly crop report OF the
Van Dusen Harrington company Of
Minneapolis. With the exception OF
one or two days, there have been
heavy rains or snow and the soil is
very wet.
For the first time in years, all Of
our correspondents report that their
districts have plenty Of moisture, and
what they now require is dry wealth
or in order that farm work may con-
tinue. The sub-soil throughout the
Northwest also contains abundant
moisture. This should be Of benefit
during the growing period OF the
crops.
Seeding il somewhat later than
normal. Our records, covering the
northwestern crops during the past
20 years, indicate that with the ex-
ception of four extremely early sea-
sons, the average time for the COM
pletion Of wheht seeding is from the
10th to the 18th of May. Should
farmers be unable to work in the
fields during the next week or ten
days, the spring wheat acreage may
be somewhat reduced.
We are unable to give any reliable
information on durum, except that
there is . tendency to increase it in
Minnesota and South Dakota as we'll
as North Dakota.
FROM information received. we
estimate the amount Of seeding ac-
complished as follows:
Minnesota-Wheat, 300: coarse

South Dakota--Wheat,. 500; coarse
