tionaI Parks to Stimulate
Interest in Them

Washington, May 1e.-(R-The
mountains where as a youth he mined
for gold have lured Herbert Hoover
back for his summer vacation as
president.
A believer in the public parks sys-
tenn, he was moved to accept the in
vitation Of the National parks serv-
ice to spend the month Of August in
the five Rocky Mountain reservations
by a conviction that the trip with its
resultant publicity would stimulate a
beneficial interest in them.
He also was drawn by a desire to
return to the mountains to which he
and Mrs. Hoover have gone many
times since they left Stanford uni
versity.
For hours at q time he can wade up
to his knees In secluded mountain
streams casting for trout.
The president expects to do most
Of his fishing during the western
trip, which is tentatively set for Aug
ust, at Glacier park In Montana. The
first Of the parks is excellent ana
there are abundant accommodations
to care for his entire party. He now
intends to spend about q week at Gla-
cier.
Then. working his way south by
motor In easy stages, he expects to
visit Yellowstone and Estes parks In
succession before reaching his home
at Palo Alto, California. Leaving
there he will go to Yosemite and
Grand Canyon parks en- route back
to the capital.

BUSTING INTO BASE BALL
"HOw Broke Into the Major Leagues"
BY MELVIN OFT,
As told TO John r. Mccain.

1T was In September, 1926, that
first arrived in the great city Of
New York, carrying my base ball
bats and suit case, the biggest
part Of which was taken UP by my
spiked shoes and q catchers mitt, on
my way to report to Manager McGraw
Of the New York Nationals. How ex-
cited I was! I was headed for the
Polo Grounds, place I had read Of
so often, but little thought that the
day would come when I myself would

the far-famed New York Giants. Here
I was, however, and was only is years
old.
had never before played any pro-
fessicnal base ball, having only grad

town of Gretna, La. That Summer ]
received q chance to catch for q lum-
Der camp team backed by Harry VIII
liams.
In August, Mr.. Williams made busi-
ness trip to New York, and, much to my
surprise, received a postal card from
him.
Report to the Polo Grounds, Sep
TENDER l."
That's all there was to the message.
Mr.. Williams was good friend Of Mr..
McGraw and already had sent up sew
eral players, but surely had no idea
OF the major league, being then only
16 years old. I packed up, however,
and went to New York, going direct to
the Polo Grounds.

JAOtts
Remove Hornsby's punch froms the
Cubs, Fonseca's batting from Cleveland
or the slugging of Foxx and Simmons
from the Athletics and you viii imme-
diately raise havoc with the offense of
those clubs.
For several years Goose" Goslin has
played such q role for Washington.
There was every reason to expect him
to continue 1t last season, but he didn't
Goslin had the worst year of his major
league career at the bat A player who
should hit from $40 to $3.50, his average
for last season was only .287. There
you have the biggest reason could
oner for the failure OF the Washington
club last Summer.
Extra Base Hits Lacking.
Lack Of players able to give you drives
for extra base hits, a department in
which Goslin usually featured, was a
chief fault Of the Nationals last season
and one of the best explanations Why
the club finished in the second division.
A pitching weakness was almost as
fatal as the lack of batting punch.
AS / viewed our pitching stan in the
Spring, was pretty well satisfied
Things soon turned out different, Mar
berry proving to be our only consistent
pitcher.
Take the case Of Pitcher Hadley. II
is q well known fact that this youngster
has q world of stun. In 1928 he had a
good year. We were banking on him
for from Is victories up. However, from
| the very start things broke badly for
him and he could win but s games.
while losing Is. That was a severe
setback to our cause. Things also broke
poorly for Braxton and Jones, who could
win but 81 games between them.
A third reason for our poor show
ing can be attributed to the fact that
during much Of the year we had a
makeshift infield, due to illness and in
juries. We were fortunate If able to
go a couple of weeks with the same
infield combination. Shortstop was a
source of much concern to us all Sum-
mer and 1t Is a well known fact that
no club gets very far without good work
at that position.
In figuring the chances of Washing
ton for 1890, am content to cast the
records of 1929 into the discard, beliey-
ing they are worthless and do not give
one real idea Of the clubs strength.
Reasons for Optimism.
Getting down to definite facts, de-
sire to offer these three reasons why
we will have a much better ball club
in 1880:
/. We have three or four good young
pitchers and feel positive one, pos
sibly two, of them should be consistent
winners this Summer.
q Infielder Bluege will be much
better player, due to the operation on
his trick knee, which for several years
has been a great handicap. With
Bluege in the lineup every day WASH
ington will be a far better team. A
player of his ability does much to
steady an infleld.
8. / look for Goslin to come back
and have big year. His slump at the
bat last Summer was just one Of those
things that are impossible of explana-
ton. He is still great batter, even If
he didn't look the part last Summer.

RUTH AND RUPERT
TALK TERMS TODAY

BY the Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. March t.
The question whether Babe Ruth will
be paid $75, 900 or 5000 for this 1880
hauling transcribed training camp
activities Of the New York Yankees to-
day, with the clubs president and sole
owner, Col. Jacob Rupert, here with
his lawyer for q conference with the
home-run king.
Speculation centred upon these two
possible eventualities:
% That Ruth and Rupert will
compromise on q one-year agreement,
ealing for the record salary of $05, 900.
(2) That Ruth will capitulate to the
Rupert logic and agree to the clubs
terms Of $4,000 a year for 1880 and
1881, representing an increase Of So, 900
over his salary for the past three
seasons.
On the basis Of Ruppert's remarks
upon arriving here. there was not the
slightest chance of Ruth'S demand of
5000 a year for each of the next
three years being granted. The colonel
made it emphatic that he would con-
cede no three-year contract on any
terms.
The Babe has worked hard to get
in the best of condition and signalized
the first practice game yesterday by
hitting triple and single in three
times at bat.

The kid brother has been playing

Arthur blazed a trail last year and the
