Elaborate Ceremonies Usher
in 1880 Campaign
Today.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, April 15.-Sixteen
major league ball clubs parade their
1880 contenders today in the grand
and glorious opening of the base
ball season. Shortly after the pa
radcs. the two major pennant races
will be on. with every one optimistic.
Whatever could be accomplished
during the training period in sunny
climes has been done, and from now
on down to the decisive battles OF
next September it will be a case OF
survival of the fitteSt.
The experts have picked the PEN
nant winners of 1929, the Philadel-
phia Athletics in the American
League and the Chicago Cubs in
the National, to repeat their tri-
umphs of last season, but the un-
certainty Of the national pastime
provides plenty Of hopes which
bloom each spring.
In the National League, where
the flag race figures to be quite as
close as usual. the New York Giants,
Pittsburgh Pirates, st. Louis Card
inalS and even the erstwhile lowly
Brooklyn Robins are counted upon
to provide stern opposition for the
champions of 1929.
Athletics Heavy Choice
Astride the American League, the
world champion Philadelphia club
stands like a colossus, but the New
York Yankees. Cleveland Indians
and Detroit Tigers have served
notice that they refuse to be writ
ten out of the race.
Bands will play, pennants will
be hoiSted and first balls tossed out
more or less inaccurately in eight
major league cities about mid
afternoon.
Already the Boston Red Sox,
having defeated the Washington
Senators in a game which antici-
pated the seasons opening at the
national capital Monday, are out in
front with a perfect average of
1000 per cent, but it won't last
long. Boston, once almost the
baseball capital of the country. is
expected to provide the eighth place
teams in both pennant races.
Sectional Rivals Clash
Following the custom of several
years standing, eastern teams in
both leagues are pitted against
eastern teams today, with western
clubs battling among themselves in
the opening series.
In the National League, the
Braves open at New York, the
Phillies play at Brooklyn, the Cubs
at ST. Louis and the Pirates at Gin
cinnati In the junior circuit, the
Yankees open against the Athletics
at Shibe park. where the flags en-
blematic of the championship of
the American League and of the
world will be raised with appropri-
ate music. The Senators go up to
Boston, the Indians are at Chicago
as guests of the White SoX, while
the st. Louis Browns open in
Detroit.
Approximately 100000 fans will
witness the opening games this
afternoon, while the number which
will follow the progress of the sea-
sons inaugural by radio, Scoreboard
and newspapers can not be esti-
mated.

Costly Blow

CHICAGO, April 15.-Pete
Wistort, Chicago heavyweight
whose knockout record is be-
coming impressive, resolved to-
day to confne his milling to
the prize ring. AS he walked
down the street with SO in his
pocket, a would-be robber ac-
costed him. Wistort grabbed
the gun and belted the stickup
man on the jaw to save the SO.
But Wistort's hand was broken
and the amount he saved by
the blow meant little to him

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.---The
hollow victory OF Primo Camera,
Italys challenger for the heavy
weight championship, over Leon
(Bombo) Chevalier at Oakland, Cal,
Monday night, will be investigated
by the California athletic commits
sion today or Wednesday.
Charles Traung, commissioner with
jurisdiction over northern California,
announced today that purses of the
two fighters had been held up.
Traung said he doubted if many
mysterious angles surrounding sud-
den termination of the bout in the
sixth round when Carnera was be-
hind on points would be cleared up
until principals in the affair had
been interrogated.
Chevalier, a giant Negro, who
looked small alongside Camera, had
taken a nine-count, but was stand
ing on his feet and fighting valiently
when one of his seconds threw a
towel into the ring after two min
utes and fifteen seconds of fighting
in the sixth round.
"Chevalier appeared to have
something wrong with his eye, but l
do not know the reason for Cheval-
ier's second throwing the towel into

THE TINE TO ADVERTISE

The average business man today Is
spending a good part of his time think
ing of ways in which he can cut down en-
penses. Naturally, in many cases his
mind turns to his advertising approprl-
ations. At first glance, that part OF the
budget looks like a good place Tor the
cutting process to begin.
However, money spent for advertising
is money we'll spent, good times or bad.
DR.. julius Klein. assistant secretary OF
commerce. recently discussed the subject
with Sturges Dorrance. prominent New
York advertising expert and made few
comments that are worth repeating
.'In advertising" said DR.. Klein, the
business world has at its command
force which. if intelligently employed,
will be certain to speed up our progress
toward economic we'll being, for past en-
periences have proven the beneficial re-
suits of advertising at a time when bus
iness is depressed.
advertising is to national business at
the present moment just what initiative,
courage and resourcefulness are to an in
dividual. All signs indicate that we have
reached the bottom Of the decline, and
indeed in some phases we are gradually
moving upwards Never was there
better opportunity for sound manage
ment, coupled with advertising having
real message, to help the business of the
country get started on its climb back to
prosperity.
"A study of operations Of a represent
ative group of advertisers during the de-
preston of 1921 showed that those which
increased their advertising had losses
during the worst period only one-half as
great as those which decreased it. One
wear later, the firms which had increased
their advertising appropriations showed
an average gain Of seven per cent, While
the average for the others was y per
cent drop on the wrong side Of the ledg-
err"
Nor is that all. Remarking that the
great aim of business generally IS to
stimulate mass buying, DR.. Klein goes
on:
"Mass psychology has unquestionably
been a factor in the depression through
which we are passing. This same power
which has generated fear can be en-
ployed to dissipate it and create new
confidence
There is a world of good sense in those
remarks. If business leaders themselves

l.. s. AID ISN'T NEEDED

President Hoover has done the coun-
try a distinct service in calling on cities
and states to enforce their own laws to
end racketeering instead of relying on
the aid of the federal government.
His recent statement on the subject
ought to serve to check a dangerous
tendency that has been rising lately; the
tendency to mark down gangster actvl-
ties as Just one more item on the long
list of things that can be left to the fed
eral power. The President rightly IN
sists that these things are for local au-
thorities to deal with.
To be sure, the only effective blows at
the Chicago gangsters in recent months
have been struck by federal authorities.
Certain prominent gangsters who never
were bothered by Chicago's efforts to
punish them have landed in prison in Jig
time through the L. S. district attorneys
campaign to check up on their income
tax payments. This has led to agitation
for more of such activity by the United
States officials, and has caused many
people to believe that the only hope for
relief from gangsters lies in some such
procedure.
To all of this, however, Mr.. Hoover has
made an effective answer.
He points out that it is not the federal
governments place TO step INTO clues anu
solve such problems. Each city and each
state, as he says. has all the machinery
it needs to clean up its own gang situa-
ton. 1t does not need outside help; it
does not need more legal machinery.
What it needs is better performance by
its own officials.
This, of course, is self-evident to any
real student of the situation; but the re-
mark needs to be emphasized over and
over again We need to be made to real
ize that Chicago, New York or any other
city could clean up its gangs overnight
if its police department, city government
and courts really desire to do so.
There is no sense in fooling ourselves;
the problem is far from being insoluble.
Honest and energetic police work, sup
ported thoroughly from the city hall and
backed UP by courts of whose integrity
there is no doubt-that, IN any city, IS
all that is needed.
It is to be hoped that President
Hoover's blunt remarks will help bring
US to our senses.

gentleman. But still and for all
that its good luck. These are read
ing stories my bunny children will

But first Mr.. Longears sat down
on stump, took the book in his
lap and began turning the pages. He
looked at a picture here, read a story
there and the more he went through
the book the more he liked it.
Then, all of a sudden. a snappy,
snarling voice close beside the rab-
bit asked
What are you doing?" Uncle
Wiggily looked up and there was the
sly and hungry Weasel, who had
sneaked up close to him. Wearing
his winter coat of white fur, the
Weasel could hardly be seen against
the snow.

II don't see any picture" he went
on, leaning over the book. Look
closer!" Uncle Wiggily said. But
still the weasel complained: Il don't
see any picture"
Look closer!" whispered Uncle
Wiggily. There was a good reason
the Weasel couldn't see a picture.
Uncle Wiggily had covered it with
his paw. And now. when the weasel
looked very hard, with his nose down
right in the book, Uncle Wiggily
suddenly slammed the covers shut
with bang!
"Wouchl Scowch! Oh my nose!

pulling his long slender nose out OF
the book. away he ran leaving the
bunny gentleman safe and sound
and not nibbled a bit.

chuckled Mr. Longears as he hoped
