SHIRES SEEKING
 ANOTHER CHANCE
BasebaIIS Bad Boy Is Now
 Ready to Repent for Actions

New York. Sept. 20 (UP)-Base- balls bad boy" is ready to repent, the United Press learned today from the fiances of Art Shires, youthful Chicago White Sox first baseman who is under suspension for engag- ing. in a fight with Manager Lena Blackburne and Travelling Secre- tary Lou Barbour at Philadelphia week ago.
 If they'll only give me another chance" Shires told his tiancee here before leaving for the west in an effort to straighten out the tangle "I'll put all my surplus energy into getting base hits and winning ball games instead of getting into jams"
 Shires thinks he has been given the worst of a bad deal, according to his tiancce. but he is ready and willing 10 let hygones be bygones if the White SoX will take him back
 When his tiancce asked him what he planned to do about his trouble, &hires replied:
 Its not what I'm going to do, it's what they are going to do. l think l have done far too much already. I guess you've got to learn to keep your head up here in the big leagues. Down where I come from in Texas, certain things mean fight.
 "I remember when I was in the Texas league l had to go into the grandstand after fan one day when he got to riding me too hard Ever since l was a little freckle- faced kid I had to fight to protect myself and it's hard for me to break the habit"
 His tianCce-whosc name must be withheld because she promised Art not 10 talk to reporters that Shires is sincere in his desire 0 become quiet, peaceahle ball play CT.
 "Art gets 2 little too exubcrant sometimes" she said, but I think this trouble is going 10 bring change in him. Baseball means too much to him 10 give it up. I be- lievc he had rather give up his fight HIS. U req to tOIlNlnCP nun that the two don't mix and l think he realizes if now"
 Shires returned 10 Chicago carly in the week and will attempt 10 get his difficulties strengthened out be- fore the world series. He will sec the world series, probably in the role of reporter.
 He has offers 10 play professional football and appear in vaudeville. One suggestion has been made that he and Hack Wilson, champion of the National league dugout. ap- pear in an act together entitled, "Baseba.'s Bad Boys"
 Another rumor has it that Shircs will be traded off 10 the Boston Red SoX or waived out of the major leagues.
 Whatever happens to him, it must be granted that he is the most col orfnl ball player in the major leagues. It was never more evident than when the White Sox rolled into town without him. Without Shires the White SoX aren't even an at traction in this town.

HUNT is BEGUN
FOR SUCCESSOR
TO HINDENBURC
German Millions Speculate
on Retirement of Aged
Warrior.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

BERLIN, May 15.-Although Paul
Won Hindenburg's presidential term
still has three years to run, Ger
many's millions already have begun
to speculate over the political con-
sequences of the grizzled warriors
decision not to stand for reelection
in 1892.
Won Hindenburg was the one man
in 1925 who was able to accept the
presidency to unite all the princi-
pal factions of Germany with the
exception of the extremists all
parties rallied to his side and &C
cepted him as standard-bearer OF
the new Germany.
The success of Won Hindenburg,
military man to the core, in the
presidential chair has made many
turn their attention to General Won
Seeckt. former conmander-ill-ch chief
OF the German army and the man
who built up the postwar military
machine after it seemed doomed to
disintegration
Won Seeckt is one of the strongest
men in Germany and the conserva-
tive elements already have begun
to look favorably upon him as Won
Hindenburg's successor in the event
the latter really decides to retire
from public life.
Won Seeckt was forced to resign
his military command in 1927 be-

The Socialists may push the can
didacy of Paul Loebe, youthful
speaker Of the reichstag, whose tact,
parliamentary skill and ioviality
have won him wide popularity
throughout the country.
Loebe not only is a Socialist, but
a pacif1st, which would cause the
conservatives to fight his presiden-
tiai candidacy bitterly but would
give him the support of the radi-
cal factions.
The skillful dealings Of DR.. HAL

reichsbank, at the Paris PREPARATIONS
conference, have won him q host
Of friends among politicians and
public. At first a, member of the
liberal party Schacht has been
identified with the conservatives for
some time and has linked his po-
litical destiny with them.

IN AUTO PLANT
De Soto Factory System
Similar to Streets in
Large Cities.

In the big Highland Park plant
a. Detroit where the De Soto six is
manufactured, a semaphore light
system similar 10 that used by big
cities throughout the nation, regu-
lates the traffic as miniature electric
trains, trucks and other conveyances
speed through the factory with
parts Of the unassembled car.
The De Soto plant, one Of the
Chrysler Motor group, is a vivid
picture Of modern dynamic indus
try. Built on an area Of more than
ffty-three acres, miles upon miles
are covered daily by these material

dreds Of thousands of feet Of floor
space.
The signals above flash from
green to red and from red to green
as the operators guide them to their
destinations. The building Of an
automobile long since has ceased to
be a problem here.
Huge trucks laden with materials
are unloaded on the miniature cars
in different parts Of the plant.
The lights and their operators
guide them safely on their way
sending a car here and another
there with amazing alacrity.
Now they stop for the red light

Washington, D. C.. June 21- Homemade tires and tubes will soon be available to automobile owners of Para, Brazil. for the first time, although this port has been export ing crude rubber for a century. h. creasing numbers of cars on the streets of Para and nearby towns have created the demand for the local factory. Heretofore the motor ists saw thousands of tons of crude rubber leave the city docks, re- turning later as tires, tubes and other rubber manufactures.
 Para IS really the old home town of most of the rubber pro- duced in the world" says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. head quarters of the National Geographic Society.
 Worlds First Rubber P0rt
 To-day most of the worlds rub. Der supply comes from Ceylon and the Malay peninsula. Singapore has taken Para's place as the worlds greatest rubber port, but Para can point with pride to the fact that Para rubber bears its name and that the trees of the East are de- scendants of original Para trees that were talk en from the Amazon jungles and transplanted on the other side of the world by an Eng lishman.
