President Hoover's proposal for a

effected BY the presidents proposal.

HOUSTON. June 22AP-c Con-
gresham Daniel K. Garrett, DEM

today in which ne questioned Pres
ident Hoover's war debt moratorium
plan.
1t is common knowledge said
the congressman, that large fl
nancial groups in the United States
have made loans TO foreign coun-
tries since the World War running
into billions Of dollars.
Il can not believe that the presi-
dent intends that these large hold
ers Of foreign bonds and securities
shall continue TO collect their In
debtedness, both principal and in
%terest, while our own government
Is extending leeway to its creditors.
president Hoover announces the
doctrine. as a cure for present de-
plorable financial depression, that
all governments owing each other
shall quit paying their debts. both
principal and interest, for a period
OF one year.
Why should the great inter
national governments have a rest
period from Indebtedness for one
year, while millions OF our citizens,
who are groaning under heavy obi
cations they car not meet. must
continue 10 pay7
Should not the congress and
state legislatures give seri-u con-
slderation h the distressed condi-
tons OF our OWL citizens, millions
Of whom are out of employment. be-
fore VIC start on a program Of our
nation giving away further billions
OF dollars on the war debts OF 9TH
CT nations? IL should be remember
ed that in our adjustment OF war
debts with foreign nations-our
allies IN the World War-we have
already donated many millions OF
dollars for the payment OF the debts
arising from the most terrible war

HALF DOZEN
GOOD BOUTS ON
BENEFIT CARD

Five rip-snorting preliminary
fights, topped off by an eight round
main event, with all boys partici-
pating doing SO because they like
the game and wish to help out a
good cause, is the bargain offered
fans at the benefit boxing bill to be
staged here Thursday night.
The proceeds of the entire card
will be turned over to the drum and
bugle corps of Boyce Aten Post,
American Legion, boxers and all
connected with the arena donating
their services for the occasion.
Young David and Vince Cadiente
will head the card. David has put
over IA knockouts in 16 fights at
the arena and Cadiente, who holds
the championship belt for the Pa
cific fleet, is coming over from San
Diego to knock him out If possible.
Cadiente's manager has stated
he doesn't even want expense money
for his boy If he cannot lick David.
Louis Reyes, the BraWley fat boy,
who stood up under a terrific wal
loping from Art Monroy two weeks
ago, will take on Gus Hernandez
of Tijuana in the semi-final. Louis
is one of the toughest boys in this
neck Of the woods and is hard
man to beat.
Andy Armstrong, the Holtville
colored boy, will take on the next
man, Rafael Deleo. who still has
to show that he is a real fighter.
Rafael has had a little hard luck
in couple of starts, but hopes to
make up for it at the expense of
Andy.
Kid Pancho, the smart little
scrapper from San Diego, will take
on Louis Garcia, who made his first
start here last Friday night. Louis
looked like he might have plenty
on the gloves.
Vince Solano and Sal Romero
ought to set the house afire, for
both are glove throwers who put
plenty of stuff on each blow.

against Baby Ruiz, who is trav-

MACK BELIEVES
PRESENT TEAM
HIS GREATEST
BY LEO ii. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 26. {U.P)-It
took Connie Mack II years from the
time he broke up his first cham
pionship ball club until he nodded
another, but his second edition ol
title winners is turning out to be 6
first-class job.
Back in 1914 Mack broke up what
was known at that time as the
greatest baseball team in history. II
included such stars as Eddie Plank
Charles Bender, Frank Baker, Eddie
Collins, John Barry, Jack Coombs
John McInnis, Wally Schang, Bob
ShaWkey and Joe Bush. They had
brought Mack four American
League and three world champion
ships in five years.
But the stars were getting old
Mack decided to start over again
He broke up his famous infield
combination, still hailed as the
greatest the game has ever seen.
Long, lean years followed. Fo,
seven consecutive seasons his Phila-
delphia team finished last. Then
it started to clirnb-seventh in
1922, sixth in 1923, fifth in 1924
second in 1925, third in 1926, up to
second in 1927 and again in 1928.
And then came the Athletics OF
1929-Grove, Earnshaw, Simmons
Foxx, Cochrane, Miller, Walberg
Dykes, Boley, Bishop and the rest
They won the league title and went
on to win the world championship
from the Chicago Cubs.
No, it wasn't as good a ball club
as the one he had in the first
championship years, Connie said.
But his men carried on to another
league and world title in 1890. It
still wasn't his greatest team, Con-
ME said.
And IN 1881 the same men are
still carrying on. They are at the
top of the American League and
have a five-game advantage over
the Washington Senators. They
have won II straight games-the
longest winning streak recorded by
a major league team since 1916. It
is within two games of the longest
American League winning streak
19 consecutive victories by the Chi
cago White Sox in 1906.
May Change Mind
These men still may not form
Comics greatest ball club. But
even the old master is weakening
He says he may have to change his
mind about what team was his
greatest one. But even if he doesn't
change his mind, the Athletics have
proved that Connie turned out a
pretty good job in the II years it
took him to build his second cham
pionship club.
They showed Connie yesterday
that all teams were alike to them.
They took both ends of double
header from the New York Yankees,
a to 2 and 16 to 4.
A barrage of base hits gave
Philadelphia the second game. Roy
Sherid was dubbed from the mound
in the first inning as the Athletics
scored nine runs to sew up the con-
test.
The defeats dropped the Yankees
to third place, half game behind
Washington's Senators, whose
scheduled contest with Boston was
postponed because of rain.
Cleveland defeated Chicago, to
6, in the only other American
League game.
In the only National League
game, the Chicago Cubs defeated
Pittsburgh, 9 to 6, and moved into
fourth place.
