may be an idle hunch or else
the real thing-anyhow, Catcher
IIerold Ruel figures that the 1880
Washington club is due to click.
Ruel, who was largely instru-
mental in building up the cham
pionShip teams of 1924-25, backs
his argument with sound reason
ing. Being of a legal disposition
his story is interesting and ap-
parently sound:
I'VE had a good club last year
but played bad ball." he insisted
today. "If you've noticed almost
every championship club has a
bad season before rising to the
top.
'This year our mistakes
are . thing of the past. And
! the boys are showing won
derfuI spirit In an effort to
L make up for past perform.
/ ances."
An ideal balance, Muddy be-
,lieves, is the most striking fea-
ture of this years club.
/ "In 1924 we had a lot Of old
heads flanked by some wide
, awake youngsters" he explained.
The same holds good today. Up
and-coning chaps like Liska,
iCronin, Hayes, Myer and West,
for instance, along with oldsterS
like Judge, Rice, Bluege and the
sEest ought to stir UP plenty Of
/ trouble"
It's the pitching that Ruel
thinks should be most improved,
however. The youngsters, he con-
tends, win furnish the strength
necessary to round out winning
staff.
'sBoys like Liska and Hadley,
!. working along with Marberry.
Jones, Thomas and some Of the
Others, look good to me. Bump
and Ad have everything in the
world a winning pitcher needs.
Just let them get started off the
] right way and you'll see some
/. stepping"
The fact that this same

done.

creased the caIsthenics to such an
extent that cven the better condi:
toned athletes were glad to check
into the showers.
Ossie Bluege, Joe Judge and
Sammy Rice, all veterans, had an
important part in the batting
practice.
A miniature edition to the New
Orleans Mardi Gras was presented
the Biloxi citizenry today. Though
not SO pretentious as the real
thing, the carbon copy attracted
plenty of interest. Nick Altrock
and AL Schacht judged the beauty
contest. Catcher Benny Tate
signed his contract last night and
was in uniform for today's work
out. -
The Washington times., 1930-03-04

Before the game was 10 minutes
old, the Western attack, led by
/ Buscher and Freeman. had run
up Is points before their oppo-
nents scored. With this COM
manding position, the local entry
let down to conserve It's speed and
pace for later games, and the
Carolinians were able to show to
better advantage. It was only the
second defeat Of the season for
Raleigh, which was runner-up for
its State title.
Although Tech will be handi-
capped in it's tourney debut today
by not having it's captain and
star guard, Carl MacCartee, avail
able, Coach Boyd and local fol
lowers of the Maroon and Gray
feel confident that the team will
triumph. Edgar Johnson, a regu-
lar in '29, but ineligible during
the recent series, has regained
good standing Scholastically and
likely will break into the starting
lineup, where he will pair off
with Everett Russell at forward.
Lassise and Diversion, guards, and
Johns, center, will round out the
Tech team.
Although Eastern refused to
grant Joe Robey a monogram be-
cause he played with an outside
team following the interhigh
series, Mckinley Tech will pre-
sent Carl MacCartee with his
letter, Principal Frank Daniels
announced. MacCartee, too,
played with an outside team, but
had the permission of his coach,
whereas Robey did not. The fact
that MacCartee's violation was
unintentional mitigated his Of
fense, Principal Daniels declared.

GOLF MEETING
At BEAVER DAM
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
A meeting of the golf commit.
tee of the Beaver Dam Club is
scheduled Thursday night at 1880
o'clock at the clubhouse for the
purpose Of framing the golf pro-
gram for the season.
Members Of the o m m t e e
asked to attend are M. H. Maier,

r. M. Brown, j. H. Byrne, G. s..
James. M L. Langford, Martin

Mitchell, j. T. Money, David c..
Morris, Forrest Thompson and
Needham c. Turnage.
This Is the same committee as
OF last year and was reappointed
by the board of governors.
A topic Of discussion at
Thursdays meeting will be
what stand Beaver Dam will
take at the annual District
Golf Association meeting Mon
day night at the Racquet Club.
Beaver Dam is anxious to hold
q tourney but realizes that many
clubs are claiming the tourna-
ment season is overcrowded. It is
for this reason that Beaver Dam
has hesitated asking for a place
on the tourney calendar.
However, if the member clubs of
the association at Mondays ses-
sion adopt the rotating system,
Beaver Dam will request date in
1881.
The rotating system Is strongly
favored by Guy Mason and George
w. McCarter, golf chairmen at
Congressional and Indian Spring,
respectively. The plan is that the
clubs of the organization should
hold tournaments every other year.

HOOvER'S VETO
BATTERED DOWN
President Insists Legislation
Is III-Advised.

BIZ UHlteG Press
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Presi-
dent Hoover, commenting today on
the action of congress in overriding
his veto of the Spanish American
war veteranss pension bill, said he
had not changed his view that the
legislation was "ill-advised."
Mr.. Hoover declared at his noon
press conference that he felt Span
ISL war veteran pensions should be
libefaIized and thought the matter
should be worked out in such a way
that rich men should not draw PEN
sions from the government.
Hooter's failure to obtain more
than thirty-two votes in congress to
sustain his veto marked the first
major cleavage to develop between
the White House and congress as
whole.
The house always has stood by
the President, refusing to let the
senate have it's way. However, late
Monday only fourteen representa-
tives stood by Hoover while 298 were
against him. Congressional histo-
rians we're unable to recollect time
when President fell so far short
of support from his own party in
congress, even in the unusual re-
construction days after the Civil
war.
A similar situation was shown in
the senate vote, which was 81 to Is
to override the President. Thus.
out of $50 votes cast in both houses
Hoover received 30.

DICKINSON WINS
IN IOWA VOTE
Tariff Backer Is Chosen
G. 0. P. Nominee.

BIZ United Press
DIES MONIES, Ia, June 3.-Gov-
ernor John Hammill today conceded
to Representative L. j. Dickinson
the Republican nomination for sena-
tor from Iowa.
Latest tabulation with 1909 of
Iowa's precincts gave: For United
States senator, Dickinson, 149 .563;
Hammill, 84759; Lund, 50,105;
Payne, 1924.
Dickinson based his primary
campaign for the seat, now occupied
by Democratic Senator Daniel F.
Steck, on support of the tariff
measure for which he voted in Con-
gress. His principal opponent, Gov
ernor John Hammill, opposed the
bill on the plea that it rendered in
sufficient aid to the farmer.
In the contest for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination there like
wise was wide margin between
Dan w. Turner, the leader, and Ed
M. Smith, his closest rival.
In the minor races Gilbert N.
Haugen, whose three decades of
service in the house have rendered
him one of the oldest legislators in
fine nation, provided the most in
teresting contest.
Haugen was leading G. A. Ben
son, his nearest opponent, by a
plurality of slightly more than 1000
votes today but was not yet assured
of denomination as Republican

district. Benson, a state senator,

clined to tell the senate lobby COM
naittee of his anti-Smith activities
in the 1928 presidential campaign.
Even after being warned by the
committee that he must take the
consequences of his act" Cannon
asserted he must decline to answer,
thereby opening the issue of possible
contempt proceedings similar to
those which resulted in Harry F.
Sinclair, the oil magnate, going to
Jail.
For more than an hour Senator
Thomas j. Walsh Dem, Mont.),

work for possible contempt pro-

IONA, Mich, June with

Toned from table ware and Whetteo

tryside, but as the hours went by
and only two of the original tnlr-
teen who escaped were recaptureo'
It was feared some would make
good their flight for liberty.
Trains Are Checked
searchers say the men probably
have split into small groups ana
are trying to remain hidden until
night. Then, it is thought, they WILL
seek to make their way out OF the
immediate vicinity. All roads are
guarded, however, and outgoing
trains are being checked carefully.
Should the men be forced to re-
main in close hiding in this Sec
ton for long it is thought hunger
eventually will dive them into the
open. It is then they will be most
dangerous, officials believe, ready to
stake everything on a chance

Pass Up Liberty Chance
After overpowering two guards
and capturing Eugene Owen, night
superintendent, the thirteen secured
cell keys from the guards and
opened cells in which 131 other
criminals we're held.

their chance for liberty. They later

Foes of Measure Refuse to
Be Stampeded to Sup
port of Bill.
BIZ RAY TUCKER
Times Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June BIN face
of a growing demand for speedy
action on the tariff bill, Democratic
and progressive leaders of the SEN
ate declared today they would not
be stampeded into support OF the
new rates or administrative pro-
visions of the Hawley-Smoot meas
ure.
In fact. opponents of the bill in
its present form charged that the
Republican leadership had stimu-
lated protests against inaction in an
effort to force the senate to aban-
don its proposed debate over changes
in the flexible provision made by the
G. o. P. bosses.
Senator Harrison of Mississippi,
Democratic conferee, answered
statements that uncertainty over the
measures rate is hurting business
recovery, with the reminder that
congress already has spent sixteen
months on the subject.
Enemies or the Dill count Oh uelds
to gain them support in the final
drive.
1t is their belief that the growing
volume of protests from the country
eventually will swing several SEN
ators to their side, and they say
they have basis for this feeling in
reported changes of heart on the
part of Copeland of New York and
Dill of Washington.
These two Democrats had been
counted for the bill by Majority
Leader Watson, but they are under
stood to be wavering. They win not

Diplomats Say Enmity, as
Well as Retaliatory
Duties, Looms.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Protest-
ing against the pending tariff and
its Sky-high schedules, foreign dip
lomats here have warned the state
department that retaliatory duties
are not the only evils that can be-
fall the United States as result
of the bills passage.
The memorandum of Minister
Ferdinand Ververka of Czecho-Slo-
vakia furnishes an inkling of what
may be expected. He declares that
not the least important will be the
psychological effect the tariff will
have on the respect and high
esteem of the people of his country
for all things American.
That a tremendous amount of i'll
will will be engendered by the
passage of the measure, the senate
now no longer doubts. Reams of
protests from some thirty-three
different nations already have been
laid before it and more still are
coming in.
What international Ill will can do
to foreign trade recently has been
illustrated by the case of China and
Japan. Directing to Japan'S China
policy, the Chinese simply refused
to buy Japanese goods and Jap
anese trade with the celestial re-
public went glirnmering. It was as
simple as that
A similar movement is beginning
to get under way throughout the
rest of the world against goods
made in the United States. The
effect which passage of the billion
dollar tariff would have in Czecho-
Slovakia, mentioned by Minister
Ververka, win be duplicated in
thirty or forty other countries IN q
way very damaging to our foreign
trade ~
