 HARRIS Manager Detroit Tigers

PALO ALTO, Cal, March 16.- At the start of every new baseball season every manager has his eye on the goal of winning the pen nant I include myself among those seeking this happy objective, but I refuse to predict where Detroit will finish at the close of the 1882 American league season.
 Past performances indicate the Athletics, Yankees and Senators as the main contenders for the pen 1nant. I am hoping for a complete upset with Detroit profiting not a little.
 Injuries during the past season hurt us badly, especially so in the case of Charley Gehringer, our great second baseman. Our case was similar to that of McGraw and his Giants who had tough break when Lindstrom was lost. Players of the type of Gehringer and Lind strom are hard to replace.
 Looks To Rockies
 We have pretty good prospects. We have a number of promising new men who will try out for regu- lar positions. However some flow CTS blossom forth early in the spring, only to wither before mid- summer. The same thing applies to lot of so-called rockies. Ma turally I am hoping some of our youngsters will develop rather rapidly and if such be the case we should offer stiff competition.
 l may go so far as to say that for the time being only three men stand out as being sure of their jo6s. They are Gehringer at sec ond, Jonathon Stone in the out field and Bin Rogell at shortstop The rest of the positions are wide open.
 Ken Strong, the former football star who had fine record last year with Toronto; Joyner White. from Beaumont, and Bill Lawrence from Seattle, are available for out field duty.
 Inside Job Men
 The candidates for infield jobs include Marvin Owen, who received trial after coming up from Tor onto last season; Bill Rhiel, from Portland; Heinie Soluble, up again frcm Beaumont; Mark Koenig, the former Yankee, and Ray Fritz, an other Beaumont product. Of course there is also Dale Alexander, the big first baseman.
 The pitching staff is fairly good with Vic Sorrell, George Uhle, Earl WhitehiI, Tom Bridges, Whit Wyatt, Herring and Hogsett as the most experienced men. Marrow Hamlin and Goldstein, from Beau mont, Sewell from Raleigh, Collier from Evansville and Page from Seattle will be looked over. The catching staff consists of Ruel, De- sautels, Hayworth. Susce and Wise, the latter from Beaumont

In Which I'm squeIched

MT. Hill c. Gresham takes plenty of exception to my story about Greta Garbo at the Wigman con- cert. He thinks Greta should be allowed to be mysterious in peace.
 The Garbo myth" writes MT. Gresham, "is accepted with more fervor, perhaps. than Garbo her. self. Certainly were Miss Garbo to become suddenly gregarious and associate herself with all the ballyhoo that surrounds the other stellar lights of Hollywood, her throne would be in the greatest danger if it did not actually topple from it's high pinnacle"
 Bravo! But is MT. Gresham right when he says: The Ameri- can people are fair-minded and are willing to grant privacy to any famed parsonage who seeks it?"
 It would hardly seem so.

Miss Lombard, like Gloria Swan son before her, rose from the ranks of Sennett beauties where she be- gan as Jane Peters, to position as one of the smartest dressed wo- men on the screen.
 Her flair for smartness makes her a rival to Constance Bennett as a sytle-setter, and her studio isn't overlooking that. Her "No One Man was a picture of the usual Bennett type. But the resemblance between Carole and Conie ends near there.

JOB INSURANCE
URGED BY FISH

Security insurance for Ameri-
can wage earners, which would
require corporations to provide
adequate life, health and retire
ment insurance for all employees,
was urged last night by Repre-
sentative Hamilton Fish, jr., of
New York, in an address before
10 graduates of the Washington
College of Law in Memorial Con-
tinental Hall.
At this time. when radicals are
attempting to undermine the
democratic institutions of this
country, Representative Fish de-
clared, Americans should have
faith in their nation.
Communists, Socialists, pink in,
tellectuals and college professors
are urging destruction of the al.
legged brutal and oppressive
economic system, he said.
Mary L. Chadwick was awarded
gold medal for maintaining the

Suicide Attempt
By Battleship

SAN PEDRO, May 81. U.H - A
naval court of inquiry today investi-
gated a strange accident aboard the
United States battleship West Vir-
ginia, which "shot herself" during
spotting practice at sea Wednesday
night.
A star shell from one of her for
ward starboard five-inch guns
struck the right gun of her No. 2
16-inch main battery turret, tear
ing out a large piece of steel and
rendering it useless.
The steel ricocheted off to star
board, striking harmlessly in the
sea. No one was injured.
The West Virginia was expected
to be ordered to the Puget Sound
navy yard for replacement of the
gun, the rifled inner lining of which
was sprung inward near the muz-
zle.
Because of the accident, the
West Virginia probably will be pre-
vented from participating in long
range battle practice, on which
half of a ships competitive gun
merry score is based
Ships officers said the main bat
terry guns, not firing, were all train
ed abaft the beam to starboard,
placing the muz2le of the 16-inch
rifle directly in the line of fire of
the forward starboard five-inch
secondary battery. The five-inch
guns were trained at high angle
for the firing of star shells to nlu-
inmate targets.
Capt w. S. Pye, commanding the
u. S. S. Nevada, headed the court
of inquiry, which was convened on
the orders of Vice Admiral Luke
McNamee, commanding the BATTLE
ship division.
It's findings will be forwarded to
the secretary of the navy without
publication here.

CHAMBERS URGE
REDUCTION OF
EXPENDITURES

SAN FRANCISCO, May 81. W.Py-
Members of the Chambers of Com
merce of the United States today
were enroute to their homes after
demanding reduction of govern
ment expenditures and taking firm
stands on the controversial subjects
Of soldiers bonus, the federal pre-
vailing wage law, the federal farm
board, and soft-pedaling the equally
controversial prohibition question.
The prohibition question, men
toned in a group of other SUBJ
iects," was deferred to "a repre-
sentative committee to examine the
whole subject and submit recon-
mendations."
Abolition of provisions under
which the federal farm board
bought and sold commodities was
asked. Increased federal aid for
agriculture was recommended.
While it urged generous pro-
vision for all those who suffered
disabilities because of their war
service" the chamber took a firm
stand against provisions y under
which men suffering no disabili.
ties from war service are recipients
of : many million dollars an
nually.'
The federal prevailing wage law
was attacked as inconsistent"
The chamber asked that it be not
extended.
Adjustment of federal antitrust
laws to prevent "stabilization of in
dustrieS" was asked as was con
sclidation of railroads with all pos
sible speed"
A resolution on silver called for

attempt to stabilize the metal.
Maintenance of the merchant

Harry Warner Testifies
On Stock Transactions
In Senate Probe.
DEFENDS ACTIONS
Senator COuzens Scoffs
At Claim Course Was
Ethical

WASHINGTON, May 81. tU,PI-
Harry Warner, who learned the
shoemaker's trade at his fathers
bench as a boy, testified today be-
fore the senate banking and cur
rency committee that he had made
in 1880 a profit of approximately
S7.500,000 dealing in the stock o.
Warner Brothers, Inc, the motion
picture company of which he Is
the head.
In a hot committee room with
senators barking at him and at
each other, the representative OF
the famous brothers who turned the
moving picture world upside down
with their development of the talk
les, defended his stock deals as
ethical and helpful"
Senator Couzens (Rep) Michi-
gan, burst into scoffing laughter
at this explanation.
William A. Gray, committee
counsel, charged that the profit
had been $9,251 ,45450 and that
Warmers sales and purchases
through dummy accounts and
others had been designed to take
advantage of a gullible public.
Gray revealed that similar trans
actions in other motion picture
stocks were under investigation
and named Fox Films as one Of
them.
The investigation steering COM
mittee met briefly after Warner
testified. They decided to hold
! three more hearings-one week
until congress adjourns. Plans
have not been completed and the
stocks to be investigated were not
announced. Chairman Norbeck Of
the committee said the next hear
ing probably would be Friday or
Saturday Of next week.
Gray revealed that the average
| price at which Warner sold
Warner stock through the broker
age house of Shatzkin & Co. was
81 and the average purchasing
price was %, asserting that they
began selling in January, $780, and
began buying back in August OF
that year.
Warner repeatedly denied fore
knowledge of the slumping busi-
ness of the corporation which
! caused the directors in August to
pass the dividend which had been
81 a share.
