White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1932-08-18

A subscriber of the Yakima Republic wrote in
to the editor to inquire '"the cause Of the hard
times" and Col. Robertson diagnosed the case
thus:
1t is that we are nation that is lazy and shift
less; that is always looking for snap instead of
hard work; that generally is in favor of minding
somebody else's business instead Of it's own; that
maintains many legislatures and a congress as
it's subsidized retreats for useless citizens and
then movesin on them for it's own livelihood. Here
and there in the country we find individuals who
are exceptions to the general rule and who are
working and saving and behaving themselves
The times are not much harder than usual for
those people.

ANENT HARD TIMES

Interesting information regarding motor cars

vealed in recently compiled Statistics
Nearly two-thirds of all automobiles are
bought by persons with incomes below $4,000
and more cars are purchased by those with in

It is estimated that motor vehicles in 1881 paid

WILL ENRICH
OWNERS
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
4.-Babe Ruth, baseball'S biggest
drawing card, isn't worrying
about that slight salary cut he
may have to take.
Asked if he is going to agree
to terms with the New York yam
KEGS, his answer today was:
81 imagine So"
Everybody else imagines so,
too. The signing is scheduled TO
take place here next week amid
a fanfare of ballyhoo. The club
is trying to cut his salary from
1000 to $4,000.
Ruth Looks Fit
The Ruth limousine, with Mrs.
Ruth at the wheel, drew up to
the clubhouse at Miller Higgins
Field. Ruth was attired in
snappy brown golf togs, but it
didn't take him long to emerge
from the clubhouse in baseball
uniform, minus the shirt that
bears the word yankees"
Ruth looked fit, although a
trifle pauchy. He was hatless
and his face was brown as
leather from several weeks OF
steady golfing.
Weighs 222 Stripped
Yes, he expects to have a very
good vear-the way I feel" No,
there is no reason why he should
not play the full schedule OF 154
games. He expects to. Why not?
He weighs 222 pounds stripped.
Ruth grew cautious when ques-
toned about wholesale cutting OF
salaries. He replied:
ut looks like there is a gen.
eral agreement among all the
clubs to slice the players pay.
Did he think it right to do
that? Well, The Babe just let that
one go bye.
No Baseball Depression
Did he note any depression in
baseball that warranted a severe
cutting of the players pay? He
answered:
81 haven't seen any depreS-
sion in baseball. The crowds
still come out. Why, we broke
the record for attendance in
Chicago and Boston. We drew
$4,000 in Chicago and $4,000 in
Boston.
Baseball is the poor mans
game. They can come to watch
it even if times are hard. 1t
was a One-Sided race last year.
1 guess the AS must have won
the pennant by 20 games.
eff the race is close this year.
That is if the first and second
clubs finish less than five or
six games apart, the owners
will make a barrel of money.
There was no excitement in our
league last year."

Rebuff For A. A. U.

The wise governor of Vir-
ginia turns thumbs down on an
amateur boxing bill designed
by the A. A. U. and giving Spe-
cial privileges to certain groups
which it denied to others.
sponsors of the bill say that
the parts of this measure relat-
ing to the Y. M. C. A. and it's
affiliateS would be stricken
from: the bill, along with the
section providing for A. A. U.
sanction of meets or boxers.
The bill, as l. will be revised,
VIII provide for local option by
county boards of supervisors or
city councils, regulate the num-
her of rounds boxer may par
ticipate against one opponent
and provide that the competi-
tors must be amateurs.
The bill as originally passed
by the assembly was described
by the governor as a diScrimi-
nAtory measure, a legislative
anomaly, in fact. He said the
bin as drawn gave the A. A. U.
authority to decide what was
asfelony in Virginia.

HOLLY Cd, March A.
You'll have to ask Father Time, y
Estelle Taylor, divorced wife OF
Jack Dempsey, replied today when
asked if Dempsey could "come
back" as heavyweight champion.
"If Jack Dempsey goes into
another championship fight he
is in it for only one reason and
that is to win it back" Miss
Taylor said.
"Why should a man go on be-
ing pounded? He doesn't need
the money as he has a trust
fund large enough to take care
of him for life. He'll always be
a fighter. A locomotive could
cut off his arms and legs and
he'd still want to fight"

Dempsey fought.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
NATIONAL LEAGuE
schOolboy Through

After slightly over 10 years Of
professional fighting, the best
you can say for Young Stribling
is that he was a nice boy with a
Southern accent, a fond mother
and an adoring dad.
IF Max Schmeling didn't put a
period at the end Of Stribling's
fight career, Ernie Schaaf did,
and a question mark besides.
Stribling was even a better
business man than a fighter. His
main aim has been to prolong
his existence in the ring as
much as possible, the better to
gather in the thing which makes
men able to retire for life.
If he comes back after his
last two successive humiliatiOl!s.
like in the cases of Dempsey and
Leonard, it will merely be as a
haS-been. And if folks flock fur
ther to see him it will be because
they-like Young Bill-are just
goofy.

KEEPS
VETERANS
ONTOES

By GARRETT WATERS
(Times staff COrrespOndent)


BILOXI, Miss, March 4.-Man-
ager johnson is making a good
promise to himself in regards to
tho training Of Fred Marberry
and Alvin Crowder.
It was the pilots aim to get
the two veterans in top shape
long before the opening game
this year. The manner in which
.-e has kept Marber and Grow
der on their toes proves that
Johnson is in deadly earnest.
Keeps Eye on Them
johnson has not taken his eyes
off his two star hurlers since the
start of the drills. Yesterday he
had them gasping for breath at
the end of the day, so hard
were they pressed.
"I'm determined to have both
Fred and the General ready
from the opening gOng," said
Johnson. "They both seem to
have graSped the idea and
have worked right along with
me-"
Running around the outfield,
pitching to batterS, engaging in
fast pepper drills, and shagging
flies in the outfield, has been
the program for these two.
Yesterday it was galloping after
flies which brought out beads Of
perspiration from the duo.
Being veterans, both have q
tendency to rest every few mo-
ments during drills. This is
where the real work must come
in. To keep them busy all the
time is a necessary part of the
program because a seconds let
up may bring on colds and
that would be great handi-
cap to overcome"
Marberry has still to take a
turn on the mound during the bat
ting drills, but Crowder has taken
several, his Shift yesterday lasting
about half an hour.
To Get His Chance
Marberry is to get his in an.
other day or so, or when he gives
his manager the nod that he is
ready and rarin' to serve 'em up
to the hitters.
The first casualty of the year
was chalked UP after yesterdays
drill. Cliff Bolton turned up with
badly Sprained finger, sustained
while catching during batting
practice.

post. The manner in which he

The y0Lngster is anxious to

Death by Burning
Remains Mystery

The cause of the accident which
claimed the life of Mrs. George Hard
ing by burning at her farm home
north of Sterling probably will never
be known, Eli Harding, her son, said
during visit to Bismarck Saturday.
Young Harding said his mother
was standing about two feet away
from gasoline stove when the
flames leaped out, ignited her cloth
ing and caused the fatal burns.
Mrs. Harding was born at Austin,
Mimi, the daughter of Joseph and
Emma Holgate, and was married
Jan. l, 1910, to her husband, who had
settled near Sterling. She had lived
on the homestead, II miles north of
Sterling, ever since that time. Be-
sides her husband and son Mrs.
Harding left two daughters, Florence
and Emma, and her mother, Mrs.
Emma Stowe, Austin, MINI.
She also left four sisters and three
brothers, as follows: Mrs. Sol Barr
and Mrs. Bessie Jackson, Austin,
Mimi; Mrs. Ed T. Harding, Kalispell,
Mont; Mrs. Will Williams, Millston,
Mimi; Ben Holgate, Robert Holgate
and George Holgate, all of Austin,

Used Oxen to Haul
First Cornerstone

A numbering yoke Of oxen which
toiled up the Capitol Hill with the
cornerstone of the old state capitol
49 years ago was replaced this
week with the swiftly moving van
of the American Express company,
which delivered the cornerstone
for the new state capitol building
in no time at all after its arrival
here by express.
Speed was not considered so i'm
portant in '83 when William Nc
Donald, with his favorite oxen,
one blue and one white, hauled
the old cornerstone from a spur
track on what is now Ninth ST.,
to the site of the old capitol.
Mcdonald, who now resides on his
farm south of Bismarck, expects
to be among those who will see
for the second time the corner
stone Of North Dakota's capitol
swing into place Saturday.
The new cornerstone, of Bedford
limestone, is considerably larger
than the original one. It's outside
measurements are S by feet and
it is 2 feet thick.

ing recalled few years ago. Mr..
Lemke is silent OH LANCER, as LANCER
is on Lemke. Well as for Senator
Frazier, he is like "Ole Man River"
he sits in Washington just rolling
along on routine business. Langer's
eulogy of Nestos has started Frazier's
friends thinking about what might
happen if LANCER is elected when the
next senatorial campaign rolls a.
round. 1t is known that Nestos feels
that Langer'S election is cinch and
there has been some understanding.
When LANCER was nominated by the
1. v. A. organization in Minot to OPP
pose Lynn j. Frazier, it was Nestos
whom he defeated. Nestos' friends
took that jolt rather hard. They
figured that LANCER, who had been
an ardent Lacquer until about year
before the Minot T. v. A. convention,
should serve a little while on proba-
ton.
George Shafer and Theodore Mel
son. then the leading spirits in the
l. v. A. organization, insisted on
LANCER as the only man who could
bust the works" and defeat Frazier.
The Fargo Twichell crowd were for
Nestos at the famous Minot conven-
ton, but went down to defeat.

j. Ralph Magee, st. Paul, in an ad-
dress Friday night at the annual
state conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church. told pastors CLOSED
minds" and unwillingness to see op-
portunities and absorb knowledge
were responsible for failures in life.
The wly-appointed bishop of the
st. Paul area, including Minnesota,
Wisconsin, North Dakota and South
Dakota. told the pastors they were
not free from guilt in numbering op-
portunity." He illustrated his talk
with true stories of men who had
succeeded in the work of the church
despite heavy handicaps.
In his travels for the church he
said he had observed large numbers
of men out of work. But the men
out of work." he declared. "are not
doing anything about it. They are
not using their forced idleness to
study their trades and build their
characters for better jobs. They just
loaf around and wonder if anything
is going to turn up"
The times, he said, offer a gold
mine of opportunities for personal
development open to every one smart
enough to see them.
At the business session six grad
yates of the course of ministerial
training were announced. They are
Rev. Don j. Klingersmith of Grenora,
Rev. Axel Lindstrom of Hunter, Rev.
Everett Shotwell of Dickey, Rev.
Theodore Torgerson of Ashley, Rev.

Rev. Basil T. Osborn of Hannah.

morning at the business session.
