CUBAN PITCHING STAR PLANS
TO RETIRE IF ROBINS WIN

four victories and three defeats
July l.
Robinson still rates Luque as one
of his greatest assets. The Cuban
has done much in helping Robin
son develop rockies. The Brooklyn
manager believes even if Luque
should become too old or ineffective
to start games. he would prove a
good relief pitcher.
But if the Robins win the PEN
nant and Luque retires, no one will
begrudge the action. He has earned
the right to quit the game he has
served so well.

OIL STILL GOING UP

OAKLAND CITY, Aug. 26.-C. I.
Murray, commander of the national
guard troops which closed the Okla
homa oil fields, predicted today that
before nightfall four oil companies
would post d top price of SLOT a
barrel for crude oil and make it
possible for Governor William H.
alfalfa Bib Murray to recall the
soldiers.
If these four companies-said to
be Stanolind Crude Oil, Carter Oil,
and Magnolia Oil, all Standard sub
salaries, and Texas Company-join
the Phillips Petroleum in offering
81 or more, it is regarded certain
that Alfalfa Bilr' will declare an
end to martial law and allow the
flush fields to be reopened.
Prices throughout the mid-con-
tinent area have gone up. In Texas.
where the price had been dropped as
low as 6 cents, it was 70 cents today.
Kansas, Arkansas and Louisiana
have shown similar gains.

novel Of Hollywood life which How
ard Hughes planned to produce as
motion picture turned into "hot
potato" too warm for him to handle
Hughes, who paid Carroll and
Garrett Graham $4,000 for motion
picture rights, has announced his
temporary defeat in efforts to pro-
duce the film because actors refused
to accept roles.
The book has been under the Of
fetal frown of Will Hays and
motion picture producers since its
publication, for the reason that it
depicted only the seamy side Of
Hollywood life.
The book is dedicated to a news
paperman, of whom the authors said
I'VE are deeply indebted and vice
versa" In the book he is Whitley"
and his characterization was drawn
from a real-life reporter whose
escapades still are the talk Of Holly
wood.
Identify True Characters
In the book, White goes every
where and meets every one worth
knowing. All are given fictitious
names, but so pointed were some
descriptions and anecdotes that the
initiated had little trouble Identify
ing their true counterparts.
One chapter in the book purports
to reveal the inside" of a change

Decline to Fill Roles
The producer, to climax the eve
ming, presents the general manager
with gold watch as token of

amid cheers the appointment of
his son, just reached his majority,
as the new studio head.
When Hughes purchase of the
book became known, it was told
jokingly throughout Hollywood that
the young Texas millionaire intend
ed to purchase the aforesaid studio
so that he could produce Queer
People" with the original cast.
At any rate, the fact that actors
decline to fill the roles of charac-
tiers drawn from some of their best
friends, finally has resulted in
Hughes putting the screen rights
on the shelf, for the present at
least.
