President American League.

- HICAGO, January (R.-Never
4 having applied for membership
A in the 81 told you So society,
It is rather dif1cult for me
to give utterance to an American
League review for the 1929 season.
However, as was but partially correct
In my forecast, year ago, it may be
safe to recall my predictions of last
New Year when declared the Athletics
would give the New York Yankees
plenty Of trouble and possibly win the
pennant.
1t also may be recalled forecasted
better things for Cleveland and De-
troit. Cleveland did finish much higher
than it did in 20. While Detroit
slumped toward the end of the season
and failed to finish as high as I had
expected under its new management,
1t played to far more people than
1t had for several years. On the
other hand, neither st. Louis nor Wash
ington was as successful as had an
ticipated, nevertheless, the American
League, as q unit, played to larger at
tendance tnan ~ ola IN 1875.
Had Right Slant.
Naturally, I cannot but express my
satisfaction over the result Of the world
series, in which the Athletics won four
out of five games from the Chicago
Nationals. Prior to the series was
quoted as saying the Athletics would
win, because the American League, for
reasons then advanced by me, was
stronger than the National. The series
results proved I was correct in my
diagnosis Of the conditions.
It is my sincere belief that the
American League race of 1880 will be
more holly contested right down the
line than it was in 1929. Cleveland
must be considered contender. De-
troit, Washington and st. Louis should
give a better account Of themselves.
Each is stronger than its 1929 record.
Chicago can be congratulated upon the
acquisition of DOME Bush as manager
Under his direction the White Sox will
show great improvement.
The Boston Red Sox have made a
few changes which should make them
q better ball club. They already have
one Of the best pitching STATS In the
country. If they develop more of a
punch they are going to prove trouble
some.
In the death Of Miller Higgins Just
a few days before the season ended
the American League sustained a great
loss, as Miller was one of the most
efficient managers ever have known.

At the finish of any we'll played
shot the golfer will face the hole.
The finish Is the result of his efforts
in Stroking through correctly. It's a
check for the player. If he doesn't
finish in this way his shot was incor-
rectly played. Otherwise it is nothing
for him to concern himself with.
In other words, you strive to play
the ball correctly. When you do the
finish will take care of itself. Re-
member that your body faces the
ball as you stroke it. Then your
whole thought must concern itself
with stroking through the ball
toward the flag. Do not think Of the
fact that at the end of the stroke
you will face the hole.
The force of your arm swing
against a braced left leg and locked
left hip. plus the pull of the club
going out after the ball, pulls your
body around until 1t faces the hole.
Golf is q form game. Correct
your pivot and you will add yardage
to your shots. Sol Metzger has pre-
pared a free illustrated leanet on

INDIANA SENATOR ASKS
PROBE OF BASKET BALI

MUNCIE, Ind, January (P).-A
legislative investigation of the popular
Hoosier sport-high school basket ball
will be asked by James Friedley, State
senator.
He contends the High School Athletic
Association secretary, A. l.. Trester of
Anderson, has too much power, and
that control of the organization is being
exercised to the advantage of some
schools and the disadvantage of others.
Friedley's determination was reached
after the association ruled that a
youthful star could not play with
Muncie. It found undue influence"
had been used to bring the players
family to Muncie.

 Unseen to the woman or to t.he clerk who takes the loaf from it's glass case a hand stretches over the dime.
 By some mysterious trick, it filches cents, leaving but ' on the counter.
 That is about the tax tribute the government-many govern ments-takes from the poor wo- mans dime, paid for bread.

ALASKA NCT WILD AND
 AND WOOLY
From notes by Frank Edward
 in Eugene Register

There is a dance on in Sitka at the Moose hall, and the pel- sonable young schoolml'ams who make up a large part of the passenger list of this ship are all af1utter.
 They see visions of red-blood- cd adventurers in muckluks. At the very least, they expect In- dians in tribal costume. They hope for courtly descendants ot old Russian families.
 Plenty of quaintness and local color. That is the least they ex- pect here in Sitka, the ancient capital of Alaska, with it's TO- mantle past. So they turn out en masSe.
 Listen: The most sophiSti- cated-looking female at this dance at the Moosehall, away up in Sitka, is a young woman who lives in Petersburg and is over here for visit. Her clothes are positively hot, and she looks as bored as anyone in the states possibly could
 As for the men, there isn't a muckluk in the crowd, and if you did your darndest you could n't tell 'em from the boys who show up at Dreamland hall on similar occasions.
 Don't look for the wild and

FARM RELIEF" @

Can the American farmer eX- pect relief" from Congress? Just how much relief" do pre- sent measures afford? Who but himself is the farmers worst enemy? Is it reasonable tC expect Congress to save the farmer from the results of his own folly? Can any nation SuS- pend the effect of supply and demand by fiat? These are per tinent questions.
 Latest authoritative estimates on the 1880 wheat crop place it three per cent higher than last years.
 And what became of last years wheat?
 Millions of bushels of eighty cent wheat on which the Farm Board loaned" the farmer SIC is still held in bond. That wheat is still lon the market" And 3he new crop-muSt the govern ment buy it also to relieve the farmer? And will the farmers do the same thing again? Has not the consuming public used as much bread as it was able to buy? And must we now buy the wheat but do without the bread? Who IS the government? And what will the government do with it's wheat? The price to the miller has been artiflcially bolstered up so that this one commodity is thrown out of bal ance and the labOrer's wage buys less bread thus increasing the surplus of wheat. Can this ven ture in wheat result in anything but loss? And whose is the loss? Europe can buy cheaper wheat n Argentina, Russia, Egypt and Canada. Thus the American farmer has been given tempo rary relief but he must pay fol it and lose his foreign market in the bargain. The consumer has been gypped twice and the only gainer is the South Ameri- can or Russian producer. He has been relieved of American competition in the world market Farm relief" was nothing but an attempt on the part of cer- tain congressman to get a cinch On the farm bloc of votes. Is it not time to consider "conSum- CT relief?" What about the con sumer vote?
 Alaska produces millions ot cases of pink salmon for which the world offers $3.60 or less per case. No one has asked the gov ernment to lend the packers four or five dollars per case on that pack! And the Alaska loggers can produce more hemlock logs than they can sell. They, too need relief" but they have not the government" to buy ano hold those ;ogs for that 1,lincicle is essentially unsouI q and car only defeat the iatere itS of hi:r, for whose benefit it was corcaiv- ed. Let uc iacher enco age t!ls consumer and t'.e difficulties ot the lumber n~2 IS, tlle fisher ies, and agriculture as well, will vanish.

TWO PLUS TWO

To the average fisherman in 4laska, two plus two is four but 0 many of the businessmen the title problem is one that is not % easily solved.
 An average seine crew earning seven thousand dollars would net a thousand dollars per unit share. It would take tWenty-siX crews of @esident fishermen to gross $780, coo. They would spend with the Ocal business men more than 5150,000 of the total earnings.
 The two trapmen will spend ight or ten thousand dollars of their earnings locally and the "alance would go to the states.
 Which is worth more to the Territory and to the individual business houses-the tWenty-six crews comprising 130 men earn ing $180,000 or two men earning hat same amount.
