Phoenix. Ariz., March IS tp -

chances of the Detroit Tigers in the
forthcoming American league cam
paign are considered.
"Bucky' might be new TO the
club, but nevertheless he is an eX-
perienced hand at putting out good
ball teams. His record Will attest to
that. In the five years that he has
been welding managerial reins, his
products never have finished out of
the first division.
Considerab Bile interest will center
upon Harris debut with the Tigers,
for his accession to the manager
ship brings them a leader of type
new TO Detroit baseball. He has a
way Of handling the team that is in
terestiDg to study.
After holding down an outffCld
berth for the past 10 years, Harry

from Louisville where he led the
American Association in total bases
and hit around 500.
Charley Gehringcr, ranked as the
best second sacker in the league and
I'll the berth he has held for the last
three seasons. He has Francis Sica-
foos drafted from Portland Of the
Pacific Coast league, as d rival. bile
Manager Harris also can play sec

less an emergency arises,

Son rockies have been given plenty

George uhle might nave been re-

Manager Harris is not sorry for
having the great hurler on his staff.
In fact, Harris is counting on the
veteran to be malnstay of the
Tiger corps. HE who came to
Detroit via the Galloway and Taven-
er deal, had his wing" treated by
a specialist and is displaying to the
satisfaction of Harris the easy de-
livery OF yore.
Emil Yde, former Pittsburgh Pr

but he looks promising. Frank

Arnold and the Suckers

J. A. Arnold, whose organizations and activities
have just scrunzed by the senate lobby investi-
eating committee Is professional lobbyist of the
most poisonous type
The fact that his organizations have been able to
collect more than 100000 year and have been active
over long period Is testimonial to the gubiity of
those who have financed him He is manager of the
Southern Tariff Association and the American Tax
payers League.
Arnold has been on the lookout for legislation and
political developments that he could turn to his ad-
vantage Sometimes he has taken one side and some
times the other. Occasionally his testimony shows,
he took both sides Whatever he has done, one thing
always has been certain-checks being mailed to
Arnolds Office and were being cashed.
The sucker list credited to Arnold includes some
Of the nations biggest corporations and some of its
wealthiest men. Contributions have ranged from
more than 81 1000 to less than $40. Whatever the
amount or the contributor, Arnold ready to
take it.
He was ready apparently to work for anybody who
had anything to put over on congress.

TT SEEMS TO ME By HF FFo{2S

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Speaking
Nv as I must have been and not
so long ago, of themes which always
serve to irritate the reader, there is
that old standby of woman and the
unnecessary fuss which she makes
over her housewori.
And I'm more or less in earnest
in believing that the righteousness
of home duties is very much ex-
aggerated.
Women have set up the fiction
that taking care of home is enor-
mously difficult, and men, who are
no fools, readily have agreed that
such tasks are well beyond their
own skill.
When Adam delved and Eve spun,
the fiction that man is incapable of
homework first was established.
BY some curious process of logic
it has been possible to convince hu-
n anity that man can throw q bridge
across the Hudson, but is helpless
before the problem of getting a but
ton on a shirt.
If housework we're conducted &C
cording to the principles of efhcien-
cy which motivate any well-run
business, it could all be accom-
plished in about fifteen minutes a
day.

The committee is convinced that
adequate physical examinations and
adequate medical care and supervi-
sion of athletics are not yet avail
able in most institutions.
1t is urged that in case of acct
dent, the physic4sn and not the
trainer should go q the field to de-
termine the nature of the injury
and ACCESSIBILITY of continuing play.
There must not be participation in
an excessive number of sports.
Furthermore, the physician should
not be chosen because of his super
enthusiasm for athletics and his de-
sire to win at any cost, but rather
for his ability to judge in the type
of injury which he is most often
asked to see.

A Prospective Federal Judge

Before confirming the appointment of Judge Rich
ard j. Hopkins of Kansas for the federal bench, the
senate presumably will discuss his fitness even though
confirmation has been recommended by the judiciary
committee.
Attorney General Mitchell opposed Hopkins until
he was forced to abandon his position by the states
delegation in congress. He considered Hopkins as
lacking in ability to make a good federal Judge.
Some opponents 'of Hopkins also brought out that
while a Judge on the Kansas bench he had accepted
slIeL from the Kansas Anti-Saoon league for trav-
cling expenses as lecturer for prohibition.
Recently decision was handed down by the Kan
sas supreme court which throws additional light the
judicial temperament of Judge hopkins.
