YANKEES APPEAR

New York Team to Have Lineup

New York, Jan. IT LR - The club that smashed its way to the 1926 American league pennant. knocking preseason predictions
 into q cooked hat, probably will take the field intact for the 1927 campaign.
 Seasoned by their victory as well as by a worlds series fight that was lost only by narrow margin, the New York Yankees, most critics believe, have a we'll balanced combination of youth and experi- ence, speed and hitting power that will be difficult to stop.

WALTER WARD AND FATHER TOGETHER
Missing Baking Co. Heads
 Son in Cuba

Havana. Jan. 17-AP-Walter s. Ward, missing since his mysterious disappearance while on his way to New York from Baltimore last May. today was the guest of his father, George S. Ward, former baking mag nate near Havana.
 Ward arrived Saturday night on the steamship Northland from New Orleans, where on Tuesday of last week he met his father at a hotel. Both occupied rooms on the same floor, and checked out on Wednes- day.
 Although servants at the Ward home in Country Club park last night admitted that Walter was visiting his father, they said he was not in the house, and denied know ing of his whereabouts before he came here. The elder Ward has maintaind a residence here for sev- eral years. He is in the dairy indus

| were WOR. Newark; WCCo. Min neapolis; WTAM. Cleveland, and
 KDKA. Pittsburgh, to say nothing of innumerable locals and semi-locals. Last evening was another pippin, with the exception of an "on-and- 1 off buzz that started up at II o'clock and finally died. There were other disturbances in the course of the day, among them being mon- strous blob of something or other | that nearly tore the tips off the tubes.

He must have had company at his house, be- cause he was trying his darndest to bring in the Springfield station. We were forced to leave on account Of him, so we don't know whether or not he succeeded in the broadcaster. Down on the low waves there was l heavy motor road, which persisted during most of the evening. blan- ! keting many stations.
 Later in the evening we tuned in i WBZ, where a concert orchestra played "The Volga Boat Song." What we said for WBAL goes for WBZ. In fact we could listen to that number all evening, for some reason or other.
 We hit out for the prairies, bring i ing in woe, Davenport with a great deal of pep. This station was broad casting in the WEAF hookup and Phil Carlin was announcing the title of a song to be rendered by the At | water Kent artist. He didn't appear to be sure of the title and he said so. Later we went over to WEAF and the program came through even better.
 WCCO, Minneapolis, offered the Sunday evening organ recital rom St. Paul. Although the program came through well, we didn't walt for any titles. The number being played when we stopped there lasted too long and we feared we would be eating breakfast in Minneapolis if we waited.
 We tuned in PWX, Havana. That elusive 500 watt Cuban station boiled in as if it were used to cllmp- ing out of our speaker. The station was very loud and the announce ments were given in Spanish and in broken English. The program was sort of a mixed up affair, consisting of dance music, piano and vocal solos, and operatic selections. Shortly after, we logged 6-KW, Tuinucu, Cuba, which was present. ing dance music by Cuban orches- tra in real American style. Hot? on, my. Here Comes The Hot Tamales Man" was the concluding selection on the program from George Jones station.
 All In all, satisfactory weekend, although we didn't succeed in rais- ing the coast. We tried, however, and that's something.
 
 That's all for today. thanks!

TRACY
SAYS
The Character and Quail
ity of Lindbergh'S Re-
ception Are Without
Precedent IN American
History.

For three days, the capital and
the largest city of this country have
given themselves over to celebra-
ton in honor of Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh.
The character and quality of his
reception are without precedent in
American history. Indeed, it is
probable that no nation ever before
accorded a private citizen such ap-
plause and distinction. The whole
hearted enthusiasm with which he
has been acclaimed is reflected in
nothing SO distinctly as the news.
The press and its allied services
have shown a wonderful spirit of
cooperation with the public, carry
ing full and detailed accounts Of
all that has occurred, not only in
the usual way, but by radio, for the
benefit of those millions who could
not be present, but who we're equally
interested.

The first-thought objection to the
commission manager plan is that 1t
is undemocratic to make its most
important single official appointive
instead of directly responsible to
the people by election" Democracy,
however, consists in controlling pub
lie officers, not necessarily in elect
ing them, and that way is most
democratic which gives the people
the surest control The most eff
fectivs way sor the people to get a
firm grip on the neck of the govern
mental organization is by sending
a representative group of citizens
down to city hall to see what the
executive is doing, with power to

Here is college atmosphere with a
real spike in it. To my way Of
thinking this is the best of the COL
lege plays and I am not forgetting
Brown of Harvard" Of other years.
1t is needless to say anything more
of the work of Fletcher. He knows
his theater in this play.
Vivian Tobin is sweetly and nicely
cast as Marjorie Blake, who loves
the poor nut" all the time. AIDE
laide Chase is a mighty good Julia
Winters, who finds out all about
the complex of the poor nut"
You would expect Eugene Pow
ers to be the right sort of a Pro-
fesSor Blake. And he is. The COL
lege youths who inhabit the campus
and the frat houses are fairly well
played in most instances.
The cast includes Jack Storey,
Rdrich Bowker. Ruth Conley, Eric
Kalkhurst, Harry Ellerbe and many
others.
The settings are right. Just as
good as they we're in the produc ton
that 1 saw al English's last season.
THE Poor Nut" is on view all
week at Keith's.

WIZ actually I'LL
bends in a comedy role. He is so
naturally funny as Herby. just a
carrier of the mail bags from the
station to the postoffice, that he is
walking away with the comedy in
role that many actors would refuse
to play because it is so small. 1t
makes no difference to a man like
Hull whether the role be slim or fat.
This week at English's Hull takes
the slimmest sort of role and with
his own comedy sense makes this
character stand out like a noun
tain. Hull gives a natural twist to
about everything that the character
does. He elevates it from a cartoon
type to a real comedy character.
Sure Fire" this week is a fair
hot weather stock bill. 1t has many
laughs and gives Hull. Idabelle Arm
old and Larry Sullivan mighty good
comedy opportunities along hokum
lines. Sullivan seems to fit very
nicely into the role of a "hick" con-
stable.
Robert ST. Clair has a lengthy
part this week. 1t is in the second
and third acts that he has his real
comedy chance and he certainly
makes the best of it.
On the opening night of Sure
Fire." st. Clair certainly ran into
bad luck. He slipped and fell fiat
upon the stage and a second later,
when he wanted to turn off the
lights, some one back stage failed
in his duty. st. Clair kept at the
job and bridged over fault, no
blame of his, which should never
happen upon the stage.
Milton Byron is the hero who
writes a play and lives it. Others
in the cast are j. F. NARROW, Ber-
nice Marsolais. Jean Oliver as the
daughter of the village postmistress;
Sidney Jerome, Mildred Hastings,
Joe Osborne and Herbert Dobbins.
Sure Fire." a play new to this
city, remains on view all weeks at
English'S.

Head Not Turned

Much is being made of the fact
That Lindberghs head has not been
turned by all the uproar and ap-
plauSe.
A more important question per-
haps, is whether thousands Of other
brains have been turned.
Lindbergh's triumph is an accom-
plished fact and he has weathered
the storm of public excitement it
produced in remarkable way.
What about thousands of young
aviators, who have witnessed it?
Will they expect such an out
pouring of public enthusiasm if they
establish a new record by blazing
some lonely trail through the air?

That Red Flag

If, as Bishop Mcconnell of the Methodist Church
predicts, this country is ABOUT to see @lother cpl
demc of red hunting it may be we'll to examine what
the forces that aten such national hysteria were
guilty of in the period Immediately following the war;
John Francis Neylan, prominent California at
torney has just filed with Governor G. G. Young
of that State brief in behalf of Miss Anita Whit
ney, for whom he asks a pardon. Miss Whitney
an aged gentlewonan who has spent her life and
her fortune in work for the poor stands convicted OF
what the State statutes call criminal syndicalsm
Specifically she is alleged to have been member of
the Communist Labor party and that party is alleged
to believe in the overthrow of this Government by
force, providing it somehow find the force with
which to do it,
To establish this woman as to the
Government the police proved she attended meet
ing of the party in Oakland, Cal in 1919 They didn't
bother to prove that she favored of force. The
fact, as shown in court, happened to be that she
voted against the use of force and offered resolu-
ton to commit the party against it.
The police, however make much of the incident
involving the red flag. The jury was told of red
flag being draped the American flag. Now, i'll
his brief Attorney Neylan presents the sworn tes-
timony of newspaper man to the effect that Fenton
Thompson, head of the police "red squad" was re-
sponsble for this incident. Thompson this re-
porter caused one OF his squad during a recess OF
the workers convention to throw red piano
over glass case in which there happened to be an
American flag"
And that is how they made "red" of Miss Whit
ney kindly cultured granddaughter of
famous Justice of the United States Supreme Court,
a woman who all her life has abhorred and vio-
lence. 1t required some such trickery as this. Her
home had been raided, her private papers seized and
every nook of her long life searched for dam
aging evidence, but in vain. But the police frame
up did the business. She convicted.
That Miss Whitney should be pardoned goes
not be asked to accept pardon can be understood.
The State of California should instead beg her par
don; the State should hang it's head and admit it is
ashamed and sorry.
But that won't happen The Governor is weigh
ing the evidence. He may an act of gracious con-
descension, announce presently that he fit to
pardon this woman, while admonishing her to go
and sin no more. handful of radicals in this coun-
try is hoping otherwise. They would like to see Miss
Whitney compelled to serve her prison sentence.
That would make more radicals.
Common so clearly indicates the issuance
Of pardon that it is fairly safe to it will
be done. Meantime, let hope the country is not
heading into another hysteria that makes convic-
tons Of this kind possible
