BASEBALLS HOT
STOVE LEAGUE
MAY TALK trad.

NEW YORK, Oct II tP)-The 1927
% sessions of baseballs "hot stove
league" may not develop as startling
food for winter fans as last year
but there are already a number of
shifts in prospect to enliven the off
season.
The fate of Xxi Cuyler, Pirate out
field STAR who warmed the bench dur
ing the worlds series, has aroused
especially keen speculation on the as
sumption that Pittsburgh, for reasons
DeSt known to its own officials, will
not keep him another year
Cincinnati ind Brooklyn are most
often mentioned as likely to get Guy
Ter while Chicago fans have organized
I'VE want Xxi Cuyler club" to in
fluence an effort by the Cubs to OBJ
tain the Pirate star Baseball men,
however, do not expect the Pirates to
let Cuyler go to the Cubs, Giants or
Cardinals, and thus strengthen the
three teams which gave Pittsburgh the
hottest chase for this years pennant
Cincinnati, it is suggested, might
trade George Kelly, first baseman, and
pitcher for Cuyler, since the illness
of Joe Harris this season may prevent
him from being a regular again for
the Pirates next year. Brooklyn has
an excellent collection of pitching
talent, which might interest the Pr
rates in any talk of trade, but the
Robins need such twirlerS as Vance,
Petty and Doak as badly as they do
outfielders
Connie Mack already has released
Zach Wheat. veteran outfielder, and
former National league star, uncondi-
tionally and there is a question wheth-
er Ty Cobb will be back on the job
for the Athletics in 1928.
The size of Cobb's salary, variously
estimated at from $4,000 to 100000
for 1927, is understood to be an item
which may influence the Athletics
against re-engaging the famous Georg-
ian. Before the start of this season, ]
Cobb declared he wanted to have one
more good year and then retire. He
accomplished this purpose, most OBJ
servers agree, but whether Ty really

is something else. The game may still I

HE'S NOT A HERO

Winning a major league pennant is
just abo.t the last word in the man
agerial line.
Such happening, as a rule, makes
the pilot of the champions the out
standing figure in the community, for
the time being at least.
Donie Bush, who led the Pittsburgh
Pirates to a glorious triumph in the
National league, under adverse con-
ditions and after one of the toughest
races in the history Of baseball, is
not experiencing the conditions that
confront most managers.

ences with "Kiki" Cuyler, star out
fielder of the Pirates.
A MAN OF COURAGE

Shortly prior to the start of the
opening game of the world series, sat
on the Pittsburgh bench, chatting with
the great little manager of the Pirates.
I have always had the greatest adj
miration for Bush, former American
league star I umpired the first game
he played in the American league,
when he joined the Detroit Tigers late
in the fall of 1908 and saved the pen
nant for them by his remarkable play
at short
Always aggressive, with coolies of
courage, Bush was ever a man of
strong opinions. An umpire might
have rumpus with him today but
tomorrow the affair would be entirely
forgotten, the slate wiped clean and a
new day started
Not knowing all the details,
have no desire to take sides in
the matter, but an acquaintance
of 20 years has convinced me
that Bush is square shooter.

LITTLE TOTS STILL
NEED PROTECTION
Near East Relief is Caring for
$4,000 Children Whose Parents
Died for Their Faith in the
Bible Lands.

To provide for the care, simple
schooling and training for life of
$4,000 children in Near East Relief
orphanages, Golden Rule Sunday,
will be observed here on December f.
The Near East Relief, an organ
ization under the supervision of
Congress, has ministered to more
than 100000 children in it's own or
in supervised institutions in Greece
and it's islands, Armenia and Persia
Syria and Palestine. 1t has $4,000
children under it's care today, IS per
cent of whom are under 13 years of
age.
The work of the Near East Relief
not only includes the providing of
the necessities of life, according to
Governor Theodore Christensen,
state chairman, but in addition it
maintains supervision over its or
phan inmates until they have become
an integral part of the community.
1.-The work of the Near East Relief
is applied Christianity, Governor
Christianson said. 1.-The Bible lands
are full of orphaned children whose
parents died for their faith during
and following the war. These boys
and girls have been salvaged, fed,
trained and educated to lives of USE
fulness by American philanthropy as
represented by the Near East Relief
1 hope that every community in the
state will aid in making Golden Rule
Sunday, December 4, a day of as
surance that the great work of the
Near East Relief will continue until
it's task is DONE"
When every child now in the care
of the Near East Relief has grad
uated" into self support or is estab-
lished in home, the work of the or
ganization will be over. In addition
to caring for orphaned children, the
Near East Relief has established As
hospitals which have been a great
factor in reducing malaria, tubercul-
osis and trachoma. The full cost of
physical care and training is $10O
per year per child.
Churches, clubs and civic organ
izations throughout the state are
sponsoring programs for Golden Rule
Sunday, many of them centering
about a, frugal community meal.

WASHINGTON Letter
By " EDaley

Washington, Nov. 30.-It is freely
predicted that the SEVENTEEN Con-
gress, which convenes next Tuesday.
will be a turbulant affair. A multi
tude of legislative measures have
been drafted preparatory for introduce
ton during the early days of the ses-
sion. Each faction believes that its
project is deserving of first consider
alton. Therefore, the various COM
mittees must stand up under pressure
from powerful groups and weed out
the urgent and desirable measures
for consideration. Assignments to
committee places will be made with
in few days.
The filibuster which marked the
dying days of the Sixty-ninth Con-
gress Left many important measures
high and dry. House leaders aside
from giving the right-of-way to ap-
preparation bills for the maintenance
of government departments are ad-
justing their calendars to handle the
major bills caught in the filibuster-
ing jam. This includes the deficiency
bill and the measure designed to set
tie certain claims of alien property
owners.
Congressional leaders have a real
problem on their hands in settling the
controversy over proposed Legislative
remedies for the organized farmers.
The approach of the 1923 campaign
complexities the situation and makes
it difficult to strike compromise
on farm relief. There are so many
individuals and organizations purport-
ing to speak for the farmer that the
average legislator must exercise eau
ton in making commitments for his
vote.
Everyone expects Congress to en-
gage in an orgy of Investigations.
Yet, those whose positions require
them to look beneath the surface of
political affairs know full well that
the brakes will be applied whenever
there is an indication of backfire.
You will hear much about extrava-
gance in the military and naval
establishments, as a result of cOntro-
versies provoked by publicity, but OBJ
servers have felt that it will not go
beyond the talking stage.
AS an instance of Congress talking
loud and long on the need of economy
in the Navy, attention has been called
to quick change in the front when
their home patronage was endangered.
Last year there was hue and cry
for reductions in the upkeep of the
Navy with the result that the Navy
department issued orders closing down
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1927-12-01

expense of naval yards at three sea-
coast cities. This policy would have
fulfilled the demand of Congress Tor
economy, but powerful congressional
committees acting under demands
from their home town protested this
evidence of thrift, with the result
that the Navy department was obliged
to restore the items to their budgets.
Similar cases are reported from other
government departments. 1t all de-
ponds upon who suffers from economy
in government.
At the beginning of new Congress
the newcomers in their zeal to make
name for themselves back home and
justify their selection, set out to re-
form official Washington. AS an illu..
stration, one congressman coming
from rural district visited several
government departments in the in
terest of his constituents and found
that the high officials were strangely
Indifferent to the Importance of his
visitation. AS result he is now
writing long letters to the various
groups of voters back home CRITICS.
ing conditions in the government.
Another legislator, admitting his
greenness, visited all the offices in
the House Office building seeking in
formation as to ways and means of
keeping his constituents thoroughly
sold on the idea of retaining him
in Congress. Instead of digesting the
suggestions to fit his own case this
ambitious congressman is flooding
his district with pamphlets and other
gratuities to keep him in the mind
of the voter. The chances are that
unless he mends his ways his consti-
tuents will be obliged to elect another
man two years hence in self-defense
in order to keep their waste baskets
and mail boxes free from "dry as
dust" propaganda.
The senate is girding itself for a
battle royal on the Smith-Vare con-
tested elections. Senate leaders feel
that the controversy will be warm
and prolonged, although predictions
are to the effect that the two sena-
tors will be denied their seats. Out
side of the question of personalities
and campaign methods there is a
more vital factor-the control of the
Senate. The Republicans are fearful
OF the consequences if they lose their
margin and the Democrats organize
the Senae. The outcome of the 1928
elections will be greatly influenced
by the conduct of the first session of
the SEVENTEEN Congress.
