COLONEL LINDBERGH, accompa-
~ MED by his wife, put himself on
the front page again by record
breaking flight from Los Angeles to
New York in his new Lockheed Sirius
low wing monoplane. With one stop
at Wichita for refueling, the Lindys
made the trip in IA hours, 40 minutes
and 80 seconds. The flight was unique
in that it was made at attitudes rang
ing from $4,000 to 1880 feet, the col
onel's idea being to demonstrate that
express and passenger plane service
can be greatly speeded up if the planes
fly in the higher reaches where the air
is thinner and the resistance less.
Mrs. Lindbergh shared the honors with
her husband, for she acted as naviga-
tor throughout the flight and at times
handled the controls.

a scandal rivaling the Teapot Dome

ID EFORE another committee, that OF
II the senate on lobbying, the liquor
issue also was dominant. Henry II.
Curran, president of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
had been summoned to tell of the &C.
tiyities Of the officials of that organi-
cation, and he proved very lively
witness. In his first days testimony
he predicted the development of a new
national party made up of the wet
elements of both the Republican and
Democratic parties, the platform for
which already has been written by DR..
Samuel H. Church, president of the
Carnegie Institute Of Technology. He
said Pierre du Pont has Endorsed the
proposal and has said the new party
will be successful. As for lobbying,
Mr.. Curran freely admitted his asso-
citation took part in the campaigns in
Wisconsin and Illinois for repeal of
the state liquor laws, but said he
didn't see what that had to do with
'lobbying in and around Washington,
which is the subject OF the commit
tees inquiry and of which he declared
the association had not been guilty.
Next day Senator Robinson Of Indi-
ana came to bat with sensational
charges that Curran's association had
''lobbied with members of the United
States Supreme Court" He produced
letters written by 7. w. Phillips, Jr.,
Republican gubernatorial aspirant in
Pennsylvania and a director of the
association, to Justice Stone and the
late Justice Sanford, and denounced
them as 1.-THE most amazing thing

CHICAGO is really trying to rid IT.
~ self Of the gangsters who infest
the city and who have given it such
malodorous reputation. Last week
the Chicago crime commission listed
the 70 men whom it considers the
worst Of the lot, labelling them public
enemies" and asking the police to
treat them accordingly. Police Com
missioner Russell promised that he
would cooperate in harasslng them
and that they would be arrested when
ever they appeared on the streets.
There was no news in the list. Every
one of the men named is notorious and
his misdeeds well known to all read
ers of the Chicago newspapers. If the
crime commission could see its way to
printing the names of the corrupt pol
iticians and disreputabIe lawyers with
whose protection and aid the gang
sters operate, the crime situation in
Chicago might be cleared up more
speedily.

THREE hundred and eighteen in
Il mates of the Ohio state penitentl-
airy at Columbus lost their lives in one
of the worst holocausts of recent
years, and the pity of it is that not
one of them need have died if the cell
tiers had been unlocked promptly. At
least, that is the statement of A. E.
Nice. fire chief of Columbus. Where
the blame is to be placed will be de-
termined by an official inquiry.
The fire started, apparently, from
a short circuited wire and spread with
great rapidity, and most of the vic
tins persisted in locked cells. The
other prisoners, numbering many hum
dreds, being freed, helped the firemen
and guards in rescue work and some
of them performed notable acts Of
heroism. Warden p E. Thomas said
at the investigation Of the disaster
that he did not provide general fire
protection at the prison because the
Columbus fire companies could reach
there in two minutes, and that he did
not go inside the walls to the scene
of the fire because he had given or
ders and expected them to be carried

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Young stars
set the pace for hitters in the Amer
lean League in 1880 and official
averages released today showed
only four players who have been in
the league ten years or more were
among the thirty leading batsmen.
OF the remaining twenty-six, few
have seen more than four years of
service.
With the young stars replacing
veterans, batting increased almost
four points above the 1929 average,
despite the admittedly stronger
pitching. Al Simmons, Athletic out
fielder, who topped the league with
an average of 1871 was .016 above his
previous years mark and .012 points
higher than the average with which
Lew Fonseca of Cleveland won the
1929 championship.
Simmons also led the league In
runs scored. was third in hits, sec
ond in total bases and fifth in home
runs. Lou Gehrig of the Yankees
was runner-up for batting honors
with 1873 mark, and Babe Ruth
and Carl Reynolds, White Sox
rookie, tied for third place among
the regulars at 1859.
Ruth, as usual, led the league in
home runs, but was eleven below
his record of sixty. Earl Combs Of

representative also we're on hand
and it is predicted the current ses-
sion will be a lively one.
The minors and majors are in
their usual player draft controversy,
only this time the matter is a seri-
GUS proposition. The majors want
all minor circuits to accept the uni
versal draft, while the three big
minor loops object. The class IA
leagues have been operating under
the modified draft for several years
and oppose the universal draft I'M
less the majors make some sacri-
fees.
International and Pacific coast
leagues planned meeting today
and every day throughout the week
there will be meetings of different
leagues as well as the regular session
of all minor circuits. The majors
are to meet next week in New York,
but have men here watching the
little fellows.
If a new agreement is not made,
there will be no more trading be-
tween the majors and the minor
circuits that refuse to submit to the
arrangements desired by the Amer
lean and National Leagues.

The Cleveland scouts were impressed

He was sought by several other big

best bargain to offer in the way of
players.
1t is rumored the Hoosiers re-
