WHEELER FLAYS
HOOVER 5 VI TO
OF SHQAI s
Further Evidence of Power
Trust Friendship, Senator
Says; Passage Is Predicted

TOLEDO, April 7 U.SO.-De
claring that President Hoover
gave lone more indication of hi;
friendship for the Power Trust
by vetoing the Norris Muscle
Shoals bill. Senator Wheeler CD
of Montana. in a speech here last
night, predicted that the meas
ure would he paesed over a veto
by the next Congress.
Speaking before the National
League of Women Voters. the
Montanan cited the dismissal OF
Charles A. Russell, former solici
tor of the Federal Power Com
mission, after he had fought the
power interests, as another indi
cation of the attitude of the
President and members of his
Cabinet on the power issue
Wheeler said:
Scores C20i vet Aides
Mr.. Wheeler said:
"TO me the discharge of Mr..
Russell was one of the most
shameless abuses of power ever
exhibited by a body of men
since the exit from public life
of the Daugherty-Jess Smith
gang that infested the Capital
during the Harding adminiStra-
ton"
Senator Wheeler said he could
understand why the Power Trust
wanted to get rid of Mr.. Russell
and Chief Accountant King, but
asked what explanation could be
given by Secretaries Wilbur, Hyde
and Hurley who constituted the
old Federal Power Commission,
for failure to support Mr.. Russell
in his fight for a square deal"
for the Government. He said:
Zone word from President
Hoover could have saved this
faithful servant and kept him
in Washington to protect the
public interest in our water
power resources. Why did Mr..
Hoover not speak?
Challenges Dismissal
II challenge anyone to point
to single word spoken by the
Cabinet officers or by the PrcSi.
dent, by way of giving encOur-
agement or support to this
faithful servant of the people.
81 do not believe the people of
this country are going to ap-
prove the action Of President
Hoover in appointing men as
members of the Power Com
mission whose first act was to
dismiss from the Commission
the man who had dared to fight
the power interests in behalf Of
a square deal for both Sides"
Citing the low cost of power
from&he government-owned plants
in Ontario, Canada, Senator
Wheeler said there is no reason
why this Government could not
make the same success in the oper-
Ction of Muscle Shoals. He added:
eff the opponents of Govern
ment ownership and operation
of Muscle Shoals believed their
own propaganda, and felt sure
that Government operation
would prove failure, / am sure
they would welcome such an ex-
pertinent, and not spend millions
of dollars opposing it.
"They are afraid that the
United States might be as sue
cessful in generating and dis
trihuting electricity as the gov.
ernment-Owned system in On
tariO.

LOS ANGELES, January 9.-One
hundred and thirty-three golfers kept
a weather eye on the skies today, hoping
for three days of sunshine as prelude
To the Los Angeles $4,000 open tOurna-
ment.
The sixth annual championship,
scheduled to start today, was postponed
yesterday until Saturday after per-
sistent two-day rain. AS a result the
Aqua Caliente $4,000 open also was
deferred from Tuesday of next week
until Wednesday to accommodate the
players IN the Los Angeles open. Under
present plans the Los Angeles tourney
will consist of Is holes tomorrow, Is
Sunday and the final SO on Monday.
This will allow the entrants q day in
which to jorney across the border into
Mexico for the worlds largest money
tournament at Aqua Caliente.
Weather permitting, the Wiltshire
Country Club, scene Of the Los Angeles
open, will be repaired today. One fair
way was completely submerged yester-
day, a trap washed out and several
bridges across the Barrancas swept
away.

48 WINTER CONTESTS
FOR TEAMS AT v. P. |.
Basket Ball, Boxing and Wrestling
to Keep Gobbler Varsity
and Frosh Busy.

BLACKSBURG, Va, January Six
indoor athletic squads at v. P. /. are
tuning up for the approaching sports
maneuvers. Varsity and freshman teams
in basket ball, wrestling and boxing
soon will be launched upon busy sched-
ules that call for a total of 46 en-
counters.
Twenty-seven of the 46 contests are
scheduled to take place in War Me-
mortal Hall here.
Varsity schedules show 16 basket ball
games, boxing meets and 6 wrestling
matches. Schedules for freshman teams
list IL contests In basket ball, in
wrestling and in boxing.
The varsity courtmen open against
Virginia here January II, four days be-
fore the first-year five takes to the
boards. Varsity and freshman boxers
both make their bow Saturday, Janu-
airy "a, against Virginia at Charlottes-
vile. Duke wrestlerS will oppose the
Gobblers January &c in the inaugural
tilt at Blacksburg. The freshman
grapplers will be given their first test
in meet with the Carolina Cubs the
following week end at Chapel Hill.
Seldom, If ever, have v. P. I. Winter
aggregationS boosted as many veterans.
Five letter men in basket ball, six In
boxing and six in wrestling compose a
sturdy array of experienced talent for
all three teams, yet there are few out
standing performers.

The Merry TangIe.

The Merry TangIe.
THERE are just four outstanding
heavyw Gig hts, comparatively
speaking, now left around the
map.
They are Max Schmeling, heavy
weight champion of that part of the
world which happens to lie outside of
or surrounding New York; Sharkey,
Stribling and Camera. These, at least,
are the only four who would be consid-
cred in any championship argument,
unless Jack Dempsey decided to walk
into the picture.
This makes marvellous complication,
one of the greatest little tangles that
ever confronted the fight game. Schmel-
ings title has been vacated by the New
York Boxing Commission, as far as New
York goes. Sharkey has been ordered
TO fight some worthy challenger.
Apparently Schmeling and Stribling
are going to meet in Chicago, and that
leaves only Camera for the Sharkey en-
gagement, and Camera has been banned
by the New York commission. So that
won't leave any one for Sharkey to
meet that would mean anything. II
Ernie Schaaf is named, Manager Shar-
key will then be forced to fight his own
boxer
There may have been some way in
which the commission could have
brought about larger and tougher tan
gle, but the services Of DR.. Einstein
would have been needed to fix this up
properly. AS things stand now, we will
probably have two or three champions
before the year is out, provided modern
civilization can stand any such strain.

Lively Base Ball
Apt to Lose Life

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 9.-The
~ modern base ball. the lively
behavior Of which has led to
considerable viewing with alarm"
is undergoing clinical observations
that may lead to the removal Of
some Of its pep.
Although experiments being made
with the ball are shrouded in mys-
terry by manufacturers and base ball
authorities alike, whispers have been
heard that q ball with heavier cover
and thicker stitches will be tried out
In some training camps this Spring.
Whether these experiments will
lead to q general deadening Of the
ball remains to be seen. Unless
something Is done to curb the Jack
rabbit" tendencies of the ball, in
fielders soon may be classed as bad
subjects for insurance policies.

Dislikes Draft,
But What of 1t?

T OS ANGELES. January g.
- Whether the Pacific Coast
League will accept the universal
draft or stand in defiance of the
majors will be argued to a finish
today-and perhaps into Saturday
when the directors of the big minor
circuit convene here.
The Pacific Coast League is
against the draft in principle and
always has been, but it realizes that
the majors hold the whip hand and
can make it dance to their music
If the league refused the draft.
However, 1t may not make obei-
sance to the majors. without some
protest. Charles Strub, president of
the San Francisco club, dislikes
everything about the draft and will
have plenty to say against 1t in
the meeting. One of the argu-
ments up for discussion is the
length of time the Coast League may
hold q player after he has had ex-
perience in other organizations.
However, in the end the Coasters
are expected to accept the draft as
the other minors have done, unless
they want to hold out for certain
concessions.
Operating IS q non-draft league,
the Pacific Coast has harvested
many dollars from the sale OF play
erS to the majors.
