nous contracts has been par
ticularly emphasized In the last
few days when disturbing ru-
morS have floated In from the
highways and hinterland as to
the physical well-being Of one
Babe Ruth and one Rogers
Hornsby.
Two very valuable pieces Of
bric-a-brac indeed are these
stars Of the New York Yankees
and Chicago Cubs, respectively,
and their absence from the
game for any considerable time
would mean much damage to
the chances Of their teams and
a blow to the brankroll Of the
owners as well.
No doubt both men are
pretty well covered with acc1-
dent and sickness Insurance,
which would let their owners
out as far as their salaries are
concerned, but we doubt II It is
possible to buy enough insur-
ance to offset what Ruth
means as a gate attraction. to
say nothing Of Hornsby.
We imagine Col. Jacob Rup-
pert, owner of the Yankees, lis

sition. We also believe Bill
Wrigley, owner Of the Cubs, and
a millionaire, too. is just about
as absorbed in the latest dag
nosis of Hornsby's heel trouble
as he is in the chewing-gunn
trend.
Men who have amassed the
wealth Of RUPERT and Wrigley
are probably not given to losing
much sleep over such matters,
but In that baseball is much OF
hobby with both Of them, their
interest in an ailing star might
be comparable to yours or my
interest in a three-cornered tear
in the trousers Of q 500 suit OF
clothes. It would simply be dis
turbing, but not fatal.
Stricken ball players form but

game is surrounded. Cold and
rainy weather on Sunday. with
the Athletics or Yankees coming

sort Of an outlook for a Sabbath,
vet every team is faced with
such q situation many times dur
ing the 154-game schedule.
When one considers that the

year-around expenses, one can't
help being impressed with the
necessity of pretty much every
element Of q ball club clicking
during the regular season In or
der for O team to declare even
ever so small a dividend.
There is something about
the Ruth accident that brings
up the question as to the pro
priety Of too many exhibition
games. OF course, what hap
pened to Ruth in the Dallas
Yankee game, might have hap
pened anywhere else. and 1t
might not have. He went lame

sOph highlander, turned In
another n1asterful pitching
turn to mark up his third
straight win. Only five scat.
tered hits were all the Ellis
could gather and three Of
these were scratchy.
The Hilltoppers weren't any
too powerful with the flail,

paw, held them to seven hits, but
a couple Of these came at timely
moments. With Aldrich, who
played third base last year. catch.

plenty Of liberty on the base

whose erratic throwing and green

four tallieS.
Albie BoOth scored Yale's only
earned run when he singled by
beating out slow roller to Dunn,
stole second and came home on
Vincent's rap to left field for a
base. Booth drew two walks and
popped out on his other trips 10
the plate, while in the field he
bobbled once and handled four
other chances cleverly. Two Of
his plays were nice ones. In
each instance he came in fast to
pick up rollers and got the ball
off with the same motion to
catch the runner at first base.
He looks like q good college ball
player.

The Washington times., 1930-04-09

Miss GULL, busy with her various
National Duckpin Congress tasks
which have her ranging up and
down the Atlantic Coast in a con-
tinous cycle Of exhibition matches,
feels that it would be best for her
to stay out Of any one purely
localized event.
She is admittedly so far above
the regular run Of fair bowlerS that
her presence would undoubtedly
have a deterring effect on the
entries in her particular class.
In the meantime the local as.
sociation is rapidly completing all
arrangements for what is ex-
pected to be the largest entry
since the tournament was initiated
nine years ago.
"An those who entered In
the past are sure to be in,"
enthuseS Elsie Romero, as-
sociatiOn secretary, "and the
girls, Of which there is an un-
precedented number this year,

Predicting the number of
entries, but the association Of

The new classifications helped
no little in encouraging the girls.
Class A is for those who average
80 or better, Class B for those
between 80 and 81, Class c for
those who hover between SO and
8S, and Class . under SO.

A notable factor is the en-

Rainier and North Of Nashing-

Congressman Sinclair stated that
he was probably more directly re-

Because this legislation win bene-
fit not only farmers," he added, but

Congressman Sinclair declared that
the farm board act was created

by constant agitation and effort,
coupled with the continued financial
depression Of farmers which curtailed
their purchasing power and adverse

The present farm board act goes

THORESEN Turns
ON A. CRITICS
Alleges Deception in Platform
and Claims Of Governor
on Grain Policy

Fargo, N. D.. June 17.-(R-T. H.
Thoresen, campaign manager for the
Nonpartisan League, launched into q
vigorous attack Of the platform
adopted by the Independent Voters
association, in q radio address here
last night.
Thoresen reiterated q previous
statement that the state mill and ele-
vator has not paid premiums during
the administration Of Governor
George +. Shafer.
II have not found any farmer who
has received any," Thoresen said. IT
the farmers did not receive any and
the governor now says that he paid
premiums may it not be pertinent for
to ask who received the $158,000
he now says he paid? We will let
the governor again explain.
THE. Independents make much Of
the plank in their platform that they
want hail losses to be paid promptly
and In the field. There are those Of
US who have been in the state capitol
during the last number Of years, and
those who have served in the legisla-
ture, and also those who have read
the legislative journals, who know
that at every session for many years,
Mr.. Olsness has attempted to amend
the hail law 50 a. to make 1t better
and more workable.
1.-THE Independents say they have
reduced taxes. The last session Of the
legislature made the largest appro-
priation eve made in the history Of
the state, over $4,000, 900. This was
approved by the governor. This means
W. are spending q million dollars
more money during this administra-
ton than during the past.
They say they are in favor Of CO.
operatives. What does the record
show? The Farmers Union sponsor
ed the farm storage act. What atti-
tude did the administration take on
that? In the first place, the COVER
nor refused to let the emergency
clause remain in the law so that It
would take effect at once, but delay
ed the operation Of the law six
months which made 1t too late for It
to have any results In the marketing
of last years crop. Then, again, when
the Farmers Union offered TO pay the
expense Of the storage commissioner
before the bill would become effec-
tive, in order to make it possible to
put the law into effect in season last
fall, this was refused. Then the gov
ernor through his storage commis-
sioner failed to provide any rules or
regulations for the ~oueration until
after most Of the crop was marketed"
