Sailing Ships.

Stormy weather and perilous adventure have added substantially to the widespread interest ln the race between the four -masted Commodore ana five-mas Vgilant from Hawaii to Washington waters The arrival of the winning schooner Con- modore off Cape Flattery stirred public enthusiasm out of proportion to its commercial importance or its cargo. It the climax of sporting event well designed to set habitues of the waterfront Iagog
 Only a small part of the water-borne commerce iof the world is carried in sailing ships So ef- fectually have such vessels been replaced in the trade routes that to see in these times is a spectacle of first magnitude Contests such as that between the Commodore and the Vigant stir mem ories of romantic days when clipper ships came into port carrying spicy odors and an air Of having seen unusual sights and of visiting strange lands In the period of the clipper ships the world lof trade had no such information as 1t possesses today. Old-time shippers would bring back word that China would like to trade tea for cotton fabrics hair pins and nails that pretty penny could be picked by selling hardware to New Zealand natives or blue denim overalls to the Porto Ricans
 The modern practice is to have commercial scouts in all the ports of the world who send their trade tips by cable, radio or mail. From the latest bulletin of the United States Depart ment of Commerce one learns that Manila IS ln thS market for fans and artificial flowers; Milan Italy stands in need of cheap raincoats; Guatemala City can use considerable quantities of fancy cotton work shirts; and Trieste Italy, would like to place an order for quill toothpicks Havana notes brlsk demand for bathing suits, and Buenos Aires wlshes a few gross of baby carriages. Agricultural mple- ments automobile products, chemicals, leather, lum- ber machinery shoes and textiles are but few of the commodities that enter into our foreign trade.
 Travel by steamship is safer than stay ing at home and crossing the street occasionally. However voyage on four or five-masted schoon- CT is still great adventure. The creaking blocks, the slatting sails, the pounding of feet on holy stoned decks and the joy that comes with favorng winds are things which make the old days seem Iattractive.

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS ATTRACT.
 ING ATTENTION.

The Associated Press says the Democratic leaders are showing signs of getting their feet set firmly on the ground and intimates they will present a definite program and united front to the country It declares that relief and taxation legislation will be leaders in the program
 This, among many things appearing in the news papers and magazines is highly complimentary to Speaker Garner and those in the House and Senate who are associating with him in leadership
 Speaker Garner is living up to his long record in Congress. Two or three times he took the lead in taxation legislation. He has given the unusual example of a minority leader taking tax situation away from the majority and putting bill through Congress in such way as to command the sigma

To Take Cure

Joseph Rothmeir, farmer living six
miles south of Redwood Falls, was
taken to the state liquor cure farm
at Willmar Friday following a second
trial on complaint of his brothers.
He was brought into Judge of Pro-
bate A. r. A. Laudon's office for his
first trial several weeks ago and was
released after county officials heard
his pleas that he be dismissed on ac-
count of his farm work. He promised
good behavior and was ordered not
to use his car.
Sheriff l.. j. Kise arrested Roth
meir and he was taken to Willmar to
be held until released by the super

BLOOMINGTON.
81 CLUB IS
SOURCE

A young catcher was signed by
Uncle Clark Griffith, owner of
the Washington Baseball Club,
today. He is Howard Maple, of
the Bloomington IllJ club of the
Three-I League.
An interesting thought is
conjured by the acquisition of
Maple. It was with Bloomington
that Griff first broke into base
ball back in the year of Our
Lord, 1887.
Maple will go to Biloxi next
month with the first squad Of
is, ordered to report to the Mis-
sissippi training base February %.
He is just youngster, but is
capable catcher, if the words
of Joe Dunn, manager of the
Bloomington club, hold any
strength at all.
A Reserve Catcher
Last year Maple performed in
SO games. He hit to the tune Of
.288, not the best average in the
world, maybe. but passing one
when the circumstances are re-
vealed.
Maple was only a reserve
catcher for Bloomington in 1881.
This, because he had to play sec.
ond fiddle to an old, experienced
first string man. He, as Dunn
tells, played excellently, however,
when worked.
Griff was not going to sign
the lad until pinned down by
Dunn, and Billy Smith, assistant
of the Griffmen, who is a great
friend of Dunn'S. That is, not
until after he found out from
them that the Bloomington club
was on the verge of bankruptcy,
and that Maple was a prospect
worth picking up.
You'd better sign him." they
said. "At any price he's worth
a trial, and particularly so now
that his career promises to be
cut short with the failure of
the Bloomington club"
Becoming convinced, Griff
rendered the papers. Thus the
Griffmen possess an addition to
their catching staff already made
up of Spencer, Bolton and Char.
rity.
"Offtimes you pick up a
jewel of a prospect this way"
says Griff. "And Maple might
be a great ball player, who
knows? Surely he'll get his
chance to show his worth at
Biloxi. and if he makes good
it'll help balance the catching
department"
Hailing from Bloomington, it
may be in the books for Maple
to make good. He sure will If

markable game into a medium for
the establishment of Roman holi'
days each Saturday during the
fall season are traceable to men
inside conferences and the walls
of member institutions.
While sports writer's stand in
dicted on the charge that they
have demanded that colleges
furnish bigger and better enter
tainment for the public. it is
equally true that educational
leaders, particularly those con
nected with conferences, also
stand indicted on the charge that
they supplied what was demanded.
Newspapers MiSled
The so-called public relations
men of collegeS-publicity agents
to the newspaper profession
probably will be the only group
which will be convicted of the
charges contained in the indict-
ments against them. These men,
it would appear, have. as a group,
missed the fundamental ideas of
conferences and colleges. AS a
result, newspapers are misled to
a great extent.
Collegiate publicity men, whether
they so intend or not, have left
in newspaper sports offices the
notion that the big idea of inter
collegiate competitions is to get
the money. Colleges and confer,
ences will commit no grevious,
ethical error if they direct future
efforts to the end that sports
editors and reporters eliminate
the idea that intercollegiate COM
petitions are conducted for the
sole purpose of squeezing money
out of an interested public.

To LOSE
STAR PLAYERS

Three teams Will be without
star players after tomorroW's in.
ter-high school series games be-
cause of scholastic difficulty in
studies, or graduation.
Bill Burke, of Central. will play
his last game because of scholas-
tic difficulty. Bernie Buscher
will see action for the last time
for Western because of gradua-
ton. while Don Mcpherson. Of
the same team, Will call it quits
because of scholastic difficulty.
Leon Essenstad. Bob Cook, Mil.
ton Jacobson and Bernie Hob
man. will be lost 10 Business be-
cause of graduation.
Eastern and Teen are not hurt
by these causes, It is revealed in
a check-up. Central's loss of
Burke, will be offset somewhat
by the presence of Jack Moul-
ton, former Forest Park High
performer. He comes with a
powerful rating.

FREEMAN TRIES
HAND WITH BIC
WRESTLER

Herbie Freeman, the Jewish
heavyweight tangler, need only
last Is minutes with Leo Pinetzki
at the Washington Auditorium to-
night to satisfy the demands of
local wrestling fans. Pinetzki, the
Polish giant, and Freeman are
mixin- in the feature match.
Pinetzki, since coming to this
country less than two months
ago, has bowled over every op-
ponent with ridiculous ease, not
requiring more than 10 or 20
minutes to perform each job. Most
of his matches end in less than
10 minutes
Local fans are not expecting
that Freeman will win tonight for
the odds arc too great. Freeman
is spotting Pinetzki more than 60
pounds in weight, at least six
inches in height and about 18
inches in reach. David slew
Goliath with a single shot from
his sling, but they don't decide
wrestling matches on sling shots.
Expects Big Crowd
Promoter Joe Turner reports
that he expects a crowd as lar. ;
as the one for the Shikat-Szabo
duel last week. Though PinetzEi
is a monster in size, weighing 286
pounds, standing 6 feet, 8 inches
and with a reach of 96 inches,
he is no circus freak, but real
wrestler. He proved his wrestling
ability by toppling some o. the
best in Europe befo-e lured to
these shores by American dollars.
Scotty McDougall, the Scots
man, should throw Sander Szabo
in the secondary match if tight
with his holds. The Scotch are
noted for their thrift and perhaps
McDougall squeezeS a rival as he
clutches a penny.
Though beaten twice by Dick
Shikat in recent matches at the
auditorium, the popularity of
Szabo never wanes here. He could
lose every match, it seems, and
still remain an idol and continue
to draw his admirers through the
doors
FavOrites Appear
Two other outstanding local
favorites, Doc" Wilson and Fred
Grubmeyer, will again hear the
rlaudits of loyal followers. Will
son is slated to twist with Norton
E. Jackson. newcomer with
gentle name. Grubmeyer, who
bids fair to outstrip Wilson and
Szabo in popularity here, takes on
Sailor Jack Lewis, a tough guy
from the Navy.
Cy Williams faces Fritz Kley.
German. in the first bout at $50
o'clock. Kley, who has been sub
stituted for Samm,- Stein, is a re-
cent importation from Germany
and is said to be extremely fast on
his feet.
The Washington times., 1932-01-28

A careful study of the whole
intercollegiate athletic situation
causes one to gain the impress
sion that some conferences have
side-stepped this very important
issue up to the present time.
Some of those conferences
which have appeared to gallantly
meet the issue have not succeeded
in making very many others be-
lieve that the issue has been
fairly. honestly and squarely met.
Serve Purposes, However
Conferences serve a very fine
purpose. despite their weaknesses.
However, it appears that all con-
ferences, as at present consti-
tuted, cannot accomplish all that
is desirable.
There is a we'll defined thought
in the South that it is time for
the Southern Conference to de-
centralize. Many educators, un-
questioned leaders in their pro-
fession, hesitate 30 sanction the
taking away from member III
stitutions any great degree Of
self-government.
Often it appears that there is
ground for the belief that GER
tain activities within conferences
more or less political in nature,
play rather an important part
in bringing forth complaints re-
flecting displeasUrc from many
unbiased persons.
TraceabIe to Conferences
While it is quite true that
many persons question the hon
esty of purpose OF some confer
ences. most unbiased persons re-
fuse to go that far. This latter
class, constituting as it does a
majority, feels that there is room
for improvement in the matter
of complete honesty.

cent successful efforts which

appointments until after the
