IN the course Of this round finally
4 got her to sum UP the various sports
she has played. and you can gamble
all you want that she plays most Of
them well. You won't believe this, but
don't bet a nickel that it isn't all true.
This is the list:
Track and field-Running, jumping
hurdling, shot-putting discus and
Javelin. She either holds or has tied
the world record in them all.
Base ball, tennis, golf, hockey, boxing,
wrestling, riding, polo, billiards, pool
skating. foot ball. fencing, basket ball,
swimming. diving and shooting. And
this is only partial list.
The Babe is no boaster and no brag
CART. She tells you simply what she can
do and then she does 1t.
What about weight-lifting?" some
one asked
IT got my first write-up over that"
she said, "by lifting the 50-pound weight
with one hand and then hoisting 1t
straight up over my head"
Being stumped, We finally turned to
sewing, and found that the Babe not
only frequently made her own dresses
but had won first prize for dress she
had made at the Texas State Fair. She
can also cook when they happen to need
her around the kitchen.
I've played every game I ever heard
about" she said. except one" That
looked to be big story. What could
1t be?
Dolls" said the Babe. I've never
played dolls. When l was a little girl
I'd rather play with my dads hammer
or hatchet than fool with dolls. When
he missed hatchet, he always knew
whom to blame"

ATHLETIC PHENOM
DRIVES ESQ YARDS
Playing Her 18th Round on
Links, She Scores 43 for
Last Nine Holes.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

HOLLYWOOD. Calf, August g.
Your correspondent gave his time yes
terday to the two most remarkable
women athletes the world has ever
known on land and water. In the
morning I played golf with Babe Did
rikson. who smashed four world rec
ords in four Olympic starts and who
is without any question the athletic
phenomenon of all time, man or woman.
In the afternoon saw Helene Mad
ison with the 100-meter free-style
swimming championship for women
against a crack field in the fast time
of / minute 68 seconds, just one-flfth
of a second behind the world record,
which she happens to hold. besides
every other free-style record on the
book.
The tall, powerful girl from Seattle
was much too fast for Willy Den
Ouden, the Holland mermsid, who fin
tshed second, five feet in the rear, just
a trifle in front of Mrs. Eleanor Ger
rati Savile and Josephine McKim, who
finished third and fourth.
Miss Madison is close to feet 10
inches in height, weighing over 100
pounds. She starts like flash and she
takes a turn like a rubber ball bound
ing away from brick wall And she
can also swim. Plenty plus.
But the days leading feature was a
round of golf and a full athletic con-
fession from Babe Didrikson, an in
credible human being.
She is beyond all belief until you see
her perform. Then you finally under
stand that you are looking at the most
dawless section of muscle harmony, of
complete mental and physical CO.
he vxa0rld nf ha
known.
This may seem to be a wild state
ment. Yet it happens to be 100 per
cent true. There is only one Babe
Didrikson and there has never been
another in her class-even close to her
class.
After a terrific week of competition.
in which she broke worlds records with
the javelin, the hurdles and the high
jump, I saw her play her eleventh
round of golf and her performance here
IS still beyond all understanding.
With borrowed clubs, over a strange
course, not having played for many
weeks. she played one practice nine
holes and then came back in 43, with
several 3-put green's. saw her make
at least five drives between 240 and
$50 yards, from 10 to Is yards longer
than I ever saw any girl hit a golf
ball on any unbaked course where there
was no great run on the ball over the
Watered fairways.
She is the longest hitter woman's
golf ever has seen-for she has q free,
1ashing style backed up with cham
pionship form and terrific power in
strong hands, strong wrists and fore
arms Of steel. And you might re-
member that this was the eleventh
golf game of her career.
She has as fine swing as either
Helen Kicks or Glenna Collett Ware,
and it came naturally to her after a
few rounds, just as everything else IN
sport seems to come her way In the
line Of sudden requirement Of form and
style.

AFRICAN COPPER |s
 COMING INTO COUNTRY
 INCREASING VOLUME

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 (Pp-The development of the rich copper deposits in Africa is challenging the dominance of the Western Hemisphere and is spurring the in dustry to attain lower costs of production in order to compete with these new mines.
 While the United States probably will retain first place for years to come as the largest individual producing country, it will relative ly soon lose a part of it's export market due to production in other parts of the world. It is believed new hope for the industry lies in greater consumption abroad, where identification of industry is es- sential to prosperity.
 The possibilities of the new African production from Rhodesia and the Congo as to quantity, rate of output and cost, has been under estimated. The RhOdeSian fife q contains more than one-quarter of the worlds reserve.

FURTHER GAINS
ARE SHOWN IN
BOND LIST
By MUNROE ROBERTS

NEW YORK, Oct. Is QN.SD.
Further improvement in rail bonds
based largely on the continued
gain in freight car loadings, fea-
tured a generally firm session to-
day.
The carrier obligations as a rule
reached their best levels Of the
day midway in the first hour.
Some Profit Taking
The appearance of the weekly
car loadings report showing gain
of only 1861 cars was the signal
for some profit taking in this
group.
However, gains in this list were
general with the issues showing up
best including the Baltimore and
Ohio 41aS of go which were up 142
at 1872, the Chicago Northwestern
434s up 13s at 2012, Missouri Pa

Pacific SIS F up "a at 2712, Nickel
Plate 51as up u at 22I2, and
Southern Pacific 412s of '69 up l "a

and United Kingdom 512s edging

U. S. Bonds BuOyant
United States Government
bonds presented a buoyant tone
as bids for the Liberty First 414s
and the Panama Canal Is con-
tinued to be made on the floor
without bringing out offerings.
Gains in the group ranged
from 1872 to 4-32 of a point, and
trading was brisk and greater
than the usual Saturday half ses-
sion turnover.
The best grade utility, Rail,
and industrial bonds continued to
be absorbed around their highs

FOOD PRICE DIP
/ FOUND SHARP

A marked decline in whole
sale food prices was recorded
during the week ended October
II. Bradstreet's weekly food in
.dex dropped 4 points, or 2.3 per
cent from the previous week,
now registering $1.73.
This trend is opposite to the
normal seasonal movement and,
after adjustment, the weekly food
index stands at 54.5 as against
$50 last week and 67.6 for the
like period of 1881 (1928-30-10O.
This is the lowest point which
this index has reached since July
s, last.
Of the 81 commodities of all
kinds reported each week by
.Bradstreet's Weekly. prices of
only 3 items advanced; 81 de-
Clined and So remained un-
'changed. This compares with
ii, "a and So, respectively in
sthe previous week. Grains, cot
ton and cotton products, oils
and non-ferrous metals showed
exceptional weakness. while sugar,
peas and lambs were somewhat
stronger.
: The extreme uncertainty re-
flected in the price situation dur
ing recent weeks has been similar
ito the action of security mar
kets, but contrasts with the small
bbut steady gains shown in bust
ness. It seems that this reac-
ton is of technical nature
Eprimarliy the result of the specu-
Native enthusiasm which devel-
koped during July and August.

Wheat prices eased fractionally

Despite reports that 100000
bushels had been worked for eX-

however, was sufficient to prevent
an easier trend with wheat and
prices averaged steady.
Near mid-season wheat prices

Wheat traders continued to
