SEWARD TEAM TURNS
 DOWN CORDOvA OFFER

Proving the kind of stuff they are made of, at this particular time when everything has been arranged, the crack Seward baseball team turned down an offer from Cordova, wired to them Saturday afternoon, in which 4hey were asked to come to Cordova to play two-game series over the Fourth of July. The guarantee carried one hundred and fifty dollars and all expenses; also an opportunity to win much prize money
 It is pointed out that the Seward team wishes to cooperate to the very best of their ability at the local cele- bration Wednesday, and did not wish to d-sappoint the local fans. However the Cordoya offer was very much aD- preciated, and possibly at and other time would have been accepted.

COOLIDGE FACES
FARM AID TRAP
Loan for East, None for
West Is Embarrassing.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, May 17.-As a
result Of clever naneuvering on the
part of the Senate farm bloc, Presi-
dent Coolidge is confronted with a
troublesome problem in connection
with his expected veto of the Nc
Nary Haugen bill.
Action on the merchant marine
conference report has been so timed
that this bill will go to the President
at the same time the McNary-
Haugen bill goes to him for
signature.
The merchant marine bill pro-
vides a $250,O00,0O0 construction
loan fund for stimulation and re-
lief of Eastern shipping interests,
in addition to virtual subsidy in
its mail contract provisions. The
McNary- Haugen bill attempts to
provide relief for agricultural in
terests totaling about half this sum.
The President is expected to sign
the bill aiding the shippers business
and to veto the farm bill. The west
ern bloc hopes that such
simultaneous action on these con-
trasting measures will not go I'M
noticed.
Conference reports on both these
measures were approved in the
Senate Wednesday.

SENATORS SEND
BLACKMER CASE
/ TO N. Y. COURTS
Call on Smith for Aid in
Prosecuting Oil Deal
m of 1924.
BY DEXTER M. KEEZER

WASHINGTON, May H.-An &C
count of Henry M. Blackmer's par
ticipation in the Continental Trad
ing Company deal, as far as it can
be compiled from testimony before
the Senate Public Lands Commit
tee, will be forwarded to Governor
Al Smith of New York at once as
a guide in a possible attempt to in
dict BIackmer for violation of the
criminal laws of New York.
This statement was made today
by Chairman Nye following receipt
of a letter from Governor Smith
saying he would have Blackmer's
record in the Continental deal re-
ferred to the State prosecutor, and
ask for more information.
4Blackmer, according to testimony
before the Senate committee, real
lied a profit Of $75O,OO0 from the
Continental deal and was the primo
mover in it. He left this country
early in 1924 and has not returned
since. 10
Faces 100000 Fines
He is at present facing fines OF
100000 for refusal to return to tes-
tify at the Teapot Dome trial. 1t is
believed he could be eXtradited from
France if he were indicted in New
York.
Nye, in a letter to Governor Smith,
suggested that an investigation be
made to determine whether Black
mer had violated the criminal laws
of New York in negotiating the
Continental deal, from which a
profit of $3,o80,ooO was realized at
the expense, in part, of companies
with which Blackmer was assocl-
ated as an official.
Smith Asks for Data
In his reply, Governor Smith ex-
planned that if a prosecution OF
Blackmer were undertaken in New
York State it would be in the hands
of county district attorney, and
asked in what county Blackmer's
activities took place.
Immediately upon receipt from
YOU of this information" he advised
Nye, st shall refer the matter to the
proper district attorney and call
upon him to discharge his duty"

NEEDED A CONTRACT

There appeared in the public print
not long ago little item telling Of
the discovery by the New York box
ing commission that there was not in
its files a copy of the contract bind
ing. Tommy Loughran, worlds light
heavyweight champion, to the man
agement of Joe Smith, who does his
business for him..
There is a rule in the New York
code requiring contracts between man
ayers and boxers with the stipulation
that copy of the contract be filed
with the commission. 1t was this rule
which caused Jack Kearns and Jack
Dempsey to &C down on paper for the
first time, and It was the contract
forced by the commission that gave
Kearns the evidence for the suits he
instituted against. Dempsey after they
had broken up.
Loughran laughed little bit when
he was ordered to file contract
with his manager and said that he
and Joe had never bothered about
contracts. He knew, though, that

MCCARTHY PUTS
CUBS THROUGH
PINS TRAINING

AVALON, Santa Catalina Island,
Cal, March 6 R)--Pilot Joe Mccarthy
turned his Chicago Cubs into track
men during the morning workout
today, putting them through a series
of relay races to get their "pins''
in good running order
In the afternoon, although the field
still was heavy from rains of the
last two days, the Cubs leader sent
his charges through a batting and
pitching workout, with little base
work thrown in for good measure
Mccarthy had Guy Bush on the
mound, for he is far from satisfied
with the work OF the hurler. Bush
went through some heavy work today.
Following him on the mound was
Sheriff Blake, who, however, is bios
Soming out in good shape, with lots
of stuff on the ball.
Hack Wilson, outfielder, and Gabby
Hartnett, catcher, had to wear the
old rubber shirt, used for taking off
weight, today. They are the only
players overweight.
Mccarthy announced today that he
will put on regulation games We'd
nesday and Thursday afternoons in
order that the players will be in
tip-top shape for the exhibition games
on the mainland Saturday and Sun
day with the Hollywood and Los
Angeles clubs of the Pacific Coast

PIRATE. LINEUP
is PRACTICALLY
KNOWN ALREADY

PASO ROBLES, CaI March 09--
Seldom, if ever, was baseball team
in the midst of its spring Aiming
with SO little room for debate as to
who would hold the regular jobs as
is the case with the Pittsburgh
Pirates this year.
Grantham may be regarded as a
fixture at first base, as May Adams
Traynor at third. This leaves only
the berth in the left garden open to
argument and the argument is warm
as to whether Clyde Barnhart, the
HagerstoWn, Md, veteran, OR young
Adam Conorosky will get the call.
AS fielder, wooden Shoes" as
Barnhart is called in Pittsburgh, is
neither fast nor sensational, but
withal dependable. At bat be has
been an in-and-outer. Like the little
girl with the curl, when ne is good
he is very, very good but when he
is bad he is horrid. For example.
in 1925 he hit well over 300 The
next year he joined the secret hitters
with an average Of 1872, only to
come back last season with the very
respectable mark of .3l9
Generously is a ball hawk but here
too there is some question about
power at the plate In 1927 the
Pirates had him farmed out to
Wichita where he led the Western
league IN hitting. When brought
back to Pittsburgh in early September
he did not shine SO refulgentIy with
the stick. He has been hitting like
| a fiend in batting practice so far.
