Baker? Perhaps.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

(Clnclnnau EnqulrerD
 It does not take fanfare of trumpets and formal press release to make big news So at the risk of making mountain out of a mole-hin one Carolina editor an important piece of news. This The Enquirer does with intent of sponsoring MT. Bakers possible advent Presidential can- didate
 SteadfasIy refusing to say that he will or will not be candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination, MT. Baker has puzzled even his most ardent packers He has broken this silence finally, to write the Southern editor that he is willing either leader worker in the ranks, to fight for revived liberalism and refreshed ideal ism in this country"
 This statement, with its context, is a notable factor in shaping the pre- campaign picture not only to enter the race, but also because it indicates the trend of his thought respecting the larger issues of government.
 Liberalism and idealism are deceptive words Tories read danger into them and radicals spurn them so much mouthwaSh. But in their best sense, and interpreted in terms of Bakers record they represent sound basis for Presidential campaign.
 Because he is honest and courageous because he has gained extraordinarily clear grasp of national and world problems in full perspective Newton Baker commands attention from thoughtful men and women of both parties. Because without the consciousness of leaderless Democratic Party he is in firm strategic position.
 This indication of his willingness to serve his party and Nation is first-rate news, therefore It changes greatly the general political picture and sets up two dominating figures where one rested before Even before it is confirmed formally this letter to an editor makes big news.

THE COST OF EDUCATION.

The cost of education m the United States dur Office of Education in survey of the years activi- ties amounted to $32OO0O000O In the public schools of the nation there were enrolled 26665 sos pupils and the total of all teachers was placed at 1929 OOO
 Concerning Negro education the survey disclosed that there in the States having separate school systems 3326482 Negro children of school age Thir ty-two per cent more than 100000 of these not in school.

LET SANITY ASSERT ITSELF.

The Mellon tax scheme proposes to raise a few nckels and dimes by again applying nuisance taxes Yet there is chance to make $l 0O00OO0OO or so year out of the liquor traffic that is thriving and practically taxless. There is reason why all the surplus money from this industry should go to boot leggers and for protection" and hush" when the country is faced with deficits and over-taxation. It might be different if we had really and truly Pro- hibition, but we have not and cannot have that. Only fataticism prevents the country from reapng a lot of revenue and at the time improving the quality of the liquor people drink and elimnat-
 ing lot of lawlessness and disorder by abandoning the foolish worship of an impossible theory Sanity demands change and it is time for sanity to assert itself in the United States. The prospect for renewal of nuisance taxes ought to arouse common sense to action.

GOV. SMITH OFFERS SOUND
 SUGGESTION.

At the Jackson Day Dinner held by Democratic leaders in Washington early this month former Gov. Alfred E. Smith whose record as a business execu- tive while Governor of New York of the highest quality offered suggestion for relief to unempoy- merlt that might be studied with profit by Pres- dent Hoover and his aides. The former New York Governor who is a member of the Presidents Com mittee on Unemployment Relief said frankly that the best efforts of private State County and City relief organizations will not be sufficient to take care of the needs of the millions who are involun- tarily idle. The Federal Government, he added, will have to do more than merely act as liason agent between the several branches of relief bodies in short, it, too will have to provide funds before the winter ends.
 He suggested that it float bond issue of $5,- 0O0,O00,0oO by popular subscription as opposed to the ordinary method used in placing the securities with banking interests. Sell them to the people just as the Liberty Loan Bonds sold in the days. Use the proceeds to construct needed public works of it's own, lend the States of the money to undertake similar projects. Recogniz- ing that red tape regulations would operate to pre- vent the expenditure of large sums of money for many public Improvements. such highways, har- bor improvements and the like, he urged Congress to empower the President to appoint Admin istrator of Public Works, and put the President in position to clothe that official with plenary power
 
 and statutory restrictions that normally placed on the Government in the progress of public works He would make it possible for the President to invoke all the tactics of instead of dottng the is and crossing the ts This would permit work to be undertaken almost the funds are available.
 Coy. Smith is in position to know whether ditions such to demand Federal assistance. That there is such need is apparent, when he says he did in Washington:
 Now, coming to the end of the
 rope The city cannot borrow this mar
 ket Private charity can go only certain
 distance when the Federal Government must
 step in. .. I believe the time has come

 this country today is working greater
 havoc in the American home than the re-
 cent war
 The dole is not the remedy as Gov. Smith clearly pointed out. The vast majority of those out of work not asking for charity They only want the opportunity to earn living And Gov Smith has suggested the way that at least great many of them get that chance

For t.p off plays, and basket re- bound work the big, tall man ex- cels. He is also better on the zone defense, but in the man to man style and in block or pick-off plays the little man is better.
 Formerly we heard much of the legal block. There isn't such a thing. At the last meeting in New York of the National Basketball Coaches association and the Joint Basketball Rules committee both bodies declared that all blocks or pick-offs are fouls.
 We should not lose sight of the ruling and the interpretations of the rules as they now stand, you shall play the ball and not the man" The blocking player is play ing the man and not the ball. So long as coaches teach style cI play clearly against the rules of the game will pay the penalty.

Boy Scouts vs. Chain Letter.
Seattle Tines.l

Boy Scouts admonished by Lord Robert Baden Powell, founder of the organization to de- stroy any chain letters which come their way instead of passing them Here is opportunity for performing good deeds which might well be embraced by everybody The practice of writing
 chain letters and of predicting disaster for those who fail to make copies and send them on is foolish and wasteful Nothing happens when the absurd instructions disobeyed and only the minimizing and the superstitious take part in dis seminating such nonsense. Boy Scouts should heed the sound advice of their leader and founder, and everybody else would do well to follow their example

by a blocking team upon gaining small advantage in the score.
 Doing away with blocks and de- veloping the passing style of play would increase the interest in the game and, consequently, increase the attendance.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-01-19

Speedier In West
 Out west, blocking is less preva- lent and not so artfully done. Big ger men are used and the ball is passed with the desire to work the defense out of position more by manipulating the ball than by blocking the men. The crowds arc much larger and the interest more keen.
 Many officials fail to detect blocking plays now used by the coaches, thinking the blocks are in- advertent bumpings of an awkward or over anxious player.
 So long as block plays are used, little men will be at a premium Big men cannot stand the running necessary in the proper execution of this strenuous type of play.

PILOTS, PRO g.
PLAY TODAY

Natural baseball rivals who
fight every inch of the way will
square off today as Baltimore's
Black Sox continue their feud
with Washington's Pilots. They
get together at Griffith Stadium,
A. o'clock.
Last night the Orioles tripped
the rejuvenated locals in Balti-
more, so the Pilots are out for
revenge today. Despite "Mauling
Mule" SuttleS' herculean home
run with two aboard in the first
inning the Sox eventually copped,
7 to 4.
Suttles' grand slam was his Sec
ond in two games, a 502-foot shot
being compiled against the Hill
daleS in Philadelphia Saturday.
Tom Richardson, Washington'S
strapping right handed pitcher,
will be sent to the firing pit
against Baltimore this afternoon.
Richardson let down the Black
Sox in impressive fashion last
week.
Although Newark's Bro WINS
have been forced to annul their
game with the Pilots here Friday,
nationally known contingent in
the original Cuban Stars have
been lined up for tomorrow.

WHITE FEATHER
PLEASES FANS

The Chief White Feather-Fred
Grobmier match at the Clark
Griffith Stadium tomorrow night
has fired the enthusiasm of local
wrestling fans. They know that
a pleasing match is the prospect
and that the Indian will attempt
to wiring Grobmier's ears.
True, local fans have no love
for White Feather and cheer
whenever he's mauled, but he's
a big magnet on any program.
The fans are reasonable to ad-
NIT that the Indian gives them
innumerable thrills.
The Indian possibly acquired
his pugnacity from his days as a
boxer. Maybe he inherited it
from his ancestors who roamed
the unsettled lands in the early
Colonial days. scalping the good
Pilgrims just over from England.
At any rate, the Chief seems
rather blood-thirsty for a
wrestler.
Promoter Joe Turner didn't
stop when obtaining White
Feather and Grobmier for his
feature engagement. He next
secured Rudy DuSek, who has
countless followers here. and Jim
McMillen for the secondary fea-
ture which will be limited to As
minutes. McMillen also has a
host of admirers here.
The third match Of Importance
will bring together the Italian
aces, Renato Gardini and Berto
Asserati. Their match is sure to
amuse the fans for Gardini ar
CUES with everyone and some
times talks to himself. Asserati
will probably befuddle his fellow
countryman by his hop, skip and
jump movements.
The two preliminaries will show
Frank Brunowicz opposing George
KotSonaros and Jim Corrigan
battling Jack Zarnos.

WAIVER RULE.
!. WISE MOVE,

pyAnk,n9z By

CHICAGO, June 15.-This is an
important day in baseball. II is
the date on which all ball clubs
in the major leagues must cut
down to the new limit Of 70
players. the number agreed upon
last winter after a limit of 25
had been permitted for years. 1t
also is the day which brings to a
finish all trades or sales OF play
erS by any two clubs.
say "by any two clubs" be-
cause it is necessary after this
date to give every other club in
the league an opportunity to take
the player at the waiver price
before he can be sold or traded.
If no other club wants him, then
it is possible to make transfer,
but only after waivers have been
obtained.
For instance, if the Yankees
and Athletics wished to trade
players. it would be necessary for
each club to get waivers from all
other clubs. Then the New York
club could release it's player to
Philadelphia, and the AS corld
turn their player over to the
YankS.
Sell or Retain
If any of the other clubs ex-
pressed a willingness to pay ST.
500 for either player it would be
necessary for the club holding
title to his services to send him
to the claiming club, or retain the
player.
The idea, of course, when this
rule was first put into effect a
Few years ago. was to prevent
clubs in the pennant fight from
buying up stars from the clubs
which had fallen far behind and
were out of the race. Such deals
were responsible for pennants in
years gone by. and it was decided
That late transfers of good players
might be taken to indicate that
some clubs were working together
to keep another club from win.
ming. Such condition would be
bad for baseball and it was a
wise move to put a stop to it.
So now it is necessary for any
club to acquire its, strength before
June Is, or look to the minor
leagues for it. 1t is because of
this rule that several sales trades
are made each year between
June l and June IS.
LaSt-Minute Deals
Goose GoSlin, Heinie Manush,
Alvin Crowder, Taylor Douthit.
Art ShireS and Benny Tate are
among the players now in the
majors who have been transferred
in these last-minute deals in re-
cent years. All were transferred
on June Is, or within day OF
two Of that date because the club
owners had to act then or give
up the idea for the remainder of
the season.
So don't look for much in the
way of trades after today. Now
and then one may be announced,
but this will mean that the clubs
were able to obtain waivers OF,
the players. Then the transao-
tion takes on the aspect of sepa-
rate releases, rather than the
usual trade. In the end, of
course, it amounts to the same,
but the rule against trading has
been observed.
