DICKINSON HITS
REVISION Of
TARIFF

A legislative program for the
economic recovery Of the agricul-
tural Middle West was proposed
today by Senator Dickinson (Ro
of Iowa, farm bloc leader, on his
return to the Capital.
Dickinson suggested legisla-
ton to stabilize the dollar, to
strengthen the Federal system OF
farm loans, and to retain and
strengthen the Federal Farm
Board.
Hopeful for G. o. p.
A fourth step would prevent
legislative amendment of the new
tariff act, leaving all adjustments
to the U. S. Tariff Commission
under the flexible tariff clause.
The Iowan was hopeful of Re
publican success in the middle
West next year, despite wide
spread rumors of political unrest.
Sees Hoover Chance
He declared PreSidnet Hoover
could be reelected if times inn
proved. He said:-
Everything is chaotic in the
Middle West in a political
sense. No one can tell now
where the political sentiment
will drift by next November.
"The crystalization of Senti-
ment will depend entirely on
the economic recovery of the
Middle West. 1 see certain Re
publican victory next year If
times get better"

Ferreu Is Glad
He Did Not Get
Hit Off Brother
Browns Catcher Disliked to
Spoil No-Hit No.Run Record
of Hurler Brother ..

Chicago, May 2.-(F)-"Just an
other time at bat." was Rick Ferrell's
effort at the plate in the eighth Inn
ing of a memorable game at Cleve-
land the other day.
Yet, though ABS" are the bane
of ball-player's existence, Rick is
pleased that the official scorer called
this particular effort just time at
bat, with no credit for a base-hit,
despite the fact he arrived safe at
first
Rick's kid brother, Wes. Stellar
hurler of the Cleveland Indians, was
pitching, and the team for which
Rick Is catcher. the st. Louis Browns,
had failed to scratch anything re-
sembling baSe-knock off his speedy
delivery in seven and two thirds inn
ingS.
With two out in the eighth, Yves on
the road to baseball's brightest hurl-
ing achievements no-hit, no-run
eame-and the Indians nine runs to
tine good, Brother Rick strobe to the
plate.
II didn't want a base-hit," says
Rick, recounting the incident, "but
! had to get up there and try my best.
Even If it hadn't been my brother,
I'd rather not get q basehit at that
stage O. the game. Bali players are
like that-most Of 'ern. They know
they got all summer to get them base
knocks, but q no-hit game-well,
they only come once In. lifetime.
Anyway, I was up there. doing my
best to knock my kid brother of his
perch in the hall Of fame. Yves didn't
say nothin' but I knew he was goin'
to bear down plenty, and he's never
been any easier for me to hit than
any other pitcher, either!
First he brushed over a curve ball
for strike. The next pitch, anoth.
er curve. was outside for ball one.
Then he turned on the steam for
three fast ones In q row-a strike,
another ball, making it two.and-two,
then I got ahold Of q shoulder high
fast one and lit out for first base.
1T was like runnin' in q dream,
only the other way around. In .
dream you run all your might and
DON'T go anywhere. I didn't feel like
running fast at all, yet Just about
flew down to first. It was q pretty
well hit ball, but Hunnefield came up
with it and gunned it over to first.
His peg was q little wide and pulled
Fonseca off the bag, and I was safe.
"Wess walked over few steps from
the mound and says, you wouldn't
take that'n, wouldya, Rick!' he was
smilin' but bet he felt kinda choky
about it. at that, because they first
posted it as q hit. But they decided
it was bum throw instead.
II love my bingles just as much as
the next ball-player," Rick conclud-
ed, "but there's one time 'tust an
other time at bat didn't make me
mad"
Kid Brother Wesley. as everyone
knows, went on to attain his no-hit
goal.
