"SUNSHINE TALK" GIVEN
BLAME FOR DEPRESSION
Automobile oficial Tells National
Advertisers of Excess Before
1929 Crash.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, April 2s.-''Wishful think
ing and sunshine talk" were blamed
for the business depression by B. Z.
Hutchinson, vice president and treas
urer Of Chrysler Corporation in an adj
dress before the opening session of the
Association Of National Advertisers here
yesterday.
II feel that this very inclination to
indulge in sunshine talk has been one
Of our chief weaknesses" Mr.. Hutchin-
son said. I'VE had had far too much
of it before the 1929 crash. Such mis-
guiding talk certainly helped to slim
ulate the unhealthy boom which had its
inevitable consequence In depression"
Mr.. Hutchinson said American BUSH
ness has had too much of the type Of
leadership which either evsdes the
facts or befogs them with such wishful
thinking as makes them seem anything
but what they are"

BURKE WARNS
Of IMITATION

John 8. Burke, president Of the
Midas Lode Corp, has issued an
urgent plea, to the mining indus
try of this country pointing out
the danger of a pronounced infla.
ton movement in the United
States and especially emphasizing
the part which 16.to-1 silver would
play in this movement.
He favors 60 per cent rather
than $1,29-silver and says this can
be achieved in the immediate fu-
ture through an agreement be-
tween the three leading countries
and especially with the British.
Indian office. He explains:
ut should be obvious, espe-
ciaIly to the producer, that the
movement for 16.tO-1 silver
comes from the advocates Of i'm
flation who previously have
been the sworn enemies Of
higher silver prices and that
any movement that tends to eIe-
vate commodity prices i'm this
country above those Of compel
ing countries il against our best
interests and especially against
the profitable production Of the

COTTON ACTIVE,
TRADE MIXED

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 G.N60-
The cotton market turned slightly
easier today. after an early period
Of firmness, but nevertheless good
demand was in evidence on the
setback.
Trading was active and some.
what mixed, with trade buying or.
ders which had accumulated over
the weekend largely responsible
for the initial gains Of from / to 9
points.
The softer tone which developed
midway in the forenoon was due
to selling by local ana professional
traders on the belief that the tech.
nical position Of the market had
become weakened by the advance
Of a cent a pound within o week.
Comparatively light volume Of
hedge sales was attributed partly
to the fact that prices are so low
as to make it inexpedient for some
merchants to hedge cotton.
Losses at midday ranged from
4 to 8 points, with October off 8
at 6.26, December off 4 at 6.37,
J ,uary off 6 at 6.4S, March off 7
at $3.50, May off S at 6.87 and July
off 4 at 7.06.

to underplay 1t, since ne does
not realize the additional weight
of the club is offset by its great
loft. This loft, when the blade
is projected straight through
the ball, imparts undercut which
back-spins the ball. This can
be depended upon to make the
ball stop. Always give the nib
lick head a rhythmic throw di-
rectly through the ball. Never
forget it-your ball will be per-
sistently short if you fall down
on this. And by all means,
look at the ball until you stroke.
The change from the niblick,
when the pitches are short,
to the mashie-niblick often re-
suits in pitches being wilder
than ever and most Of them
away over the pin. You must
keep in mind that a ball off the
mashie-niblick does not stop
as it does off the niblick, which
makes the change fraught with
difficulties. Just how far back
from the pin you still use the
niblick is something only prac-
tice teaches, but as a general
rule you don't want them too
high up when strong cross winds
are to be considered.

Same Old As

AS for the Athletics-they
looked great. 1t seemed to us,
perched up there in a very
cramped position in an over,
crowded press box, that the
AS have picked up right where
they left off last year.
To us they looked like the
same old AS. equal to any occa-
sion and always dangerous, par
ticularly when they are little
behind. If Bob Grove has lost
any of his smoke over the win
ter, it wasn't noticeable. The
same must be said for Fred
Marberry, WaShington's own
fireball artist.
We thought Johnson handled
his pitchers well, something
that it hasn't always been pos
sible to write of Walter. He
yanked Brown amid both boos
and cheers, but there are fewer
pitchers yanked too soon than
too late in this game they call
baseball, and we all remember
when Walters failing was not
yanking them nearly soon
enough.
True, Washington lost the ball
game, but between the lines of
the story Of defeat there is
much to be encouraged about
over our club and besides
Today's is another game and
they can't pitch Grove every
day.

GRADS To HEAR
BERGMAN

Athletic Director and Head
Coach Arthur J. Bergman will be
one of the featured speakers at
the National Catholic University
Alumni meeting to be held at
the Biltmore Hotel in New York
city Saturday.
One of the main features Of
Bergman's administration has
been the intramural program
that has been installed. In the
short period of time that Berg
man has been at Catholic Uni
versity he has already had over
80 per cent of the student BODY
participating in some branch of
athletics.
He is a thorough believer in
the policy of athletics for ALL"
and it is his plan to not only
place the varsity competition
on a better and higher plane,
but he also intends to install
that spirit of play that every
wholesome boy should have and
that is so lacking in some of
the colleges today.
About 300 members of the
alumni are expected to be pres
ent to welcome it's new athletic
director.

Went Down Fighting

No team that loses in eleven
innings is an easy club to de-
feat and if Washington fights
as tenaciously throughout the
season as it did in the local
inaugural. the team is certainly
bound to be up there, or there
abouts, when the curtain goes
down next fall.
In the second and fifth in
nings, with two and three men
on, respectively, Washington
couldn't quite stretch its punch
to unite the score, but in the
seventh it asserted itself to go
ahead with doubles off the bats
Of Spencer and Myer and looked
like a very aggressive ball club,
indeed.
Then, after the Athletics
tied the score in the ninth. did
the Griffs curl up and quit?
They did not, although many
a club would have done so after
that loose piece Of fielding by
the normally reliable Sammy
Rice.
No, Washington didn't quit;
