SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
In T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Sept. IA. U.P)-The
Buffalo Bisons, who play baseball,
oddly enough, in Buffalo, have
been named winner of the first
annual award of the International
leagues foundation for the devel-
opment of bliss, sweetness and
light on the diamond.
In selecting the winner, the jury
of the eight club presidents and
the eight official scorers, took into
consideration these five items:
1. General all-around hustle of
the team.
2. Appearance.
3. Hustle and pepper shown by
the coaches.
4.-Speed of the players in chang
ing positions between innings.
S. General attitude of the man
ayers in not delaying games and
speed in changing pitchers and
other players.
The Bisons won the award in
walk, getting eight out of a pos
sible 16 votes. The result of the
balloting caused indignation in
Newark, the home of the pennant-
winning Bears. The Newark GUS
toners are asking how come, in no
low tones, they being unable to
figure out how a club that fin
ished Is or SO games out of first
place could take blue ribbon
award for hustling.
u laac caa,,o aif
not to mention a powerful argu-
ment for laziness and untidiness.
But we have no intention of taking
sides. What we are primarily in
terested in is the award itself.
The foundations idea of reward
ing players for hustling, peppering,
natty dressing, ETC., is step in the
right direction.
But it is just a beginning. With
little thought, a little planning,
baseball can not only be made
thrice as appealing to the specta-
tors, but a mighty educational
force, as we'll.
Urges Other Items
For example, let the foundation
in 1888 keep its original items but
also add other contests to it's pro-
gram. Think of the tremendous
enthusiasm that could be aroused
among customers and players alike
by offering awards for the follow
ing:
/. Team planting most peonies
around border of infield.
2. Best essay (not to exceed 1000
words and on one side of paper
only on Sliding Into Second Base.
or George Washington, the Father
of His Country"
3. Best stud poker team.
4. Best original grafton on the
Influence of Einstein's Curved
Light Theory on Spitters"
S. Best working model of jute
mill.
These are just beginning. Then
for the prizes. A $100 bill is not
adequate. Moreover, baseball play
ers care little for money, and would
strive harder if something of SEN
timental value was offered. An au-
tographed X-ray picture of Babe
Ruth's stomach, for example. Or a
small par of the dust Bucky Harris
threw in Umpire McGowan's eyes
in 1926. Or a handful of tickets
on the third race at Washington
Park, personally torn in bits by
Rogers HornSby.
You write few, now.

THE TEDDY BEAR

THE Teddy Bear, essential to

and still a popular toy, was of
course named for Teddy Roosevelt,
but how a President Of the United
States became associated with a
humble little stuffed bear Is just an
other proof of the so-called power
Of the press"
About 1888 in a little village In
Germany crippled dressmaker
named Margarete Stelff concocted
out of leftover scraps of material a
little stuffed bear which she pre-
sented to a child of the neighbor-
hood. The bear proved so popular
that her brother. Richard Steiff, with
an eve to business, had other bears
manufactured and put on the mar
ket. The first stuffed bears sold In
this country were imported In 1902
by Borgfeldt & Co.

EVADE INCOME TAX
IN DEVIOUS WAYS

Income and other taxes are very
heavy, especially in Great Britain,
where they are % to % per cent of
very moderate incomes. Conse-
quently many efforts are made to
evade them legally. By a quirk in
the shipping laws, a yacht owner
living in his boat is not taxed, and
one such "home" may be seen at
Monte. Carlo, where it has been
moored for years.
The author, Compton Mackenzie,
well-known novelist, has leased the
tiny island of Jethou, which lies
with it's smaller sister, Herm, just
east of Guernsey, in the Channel is
lands. Curiously, this lease is taken
from the British government, at an
absurd figure-amounting to perhaps
81 week-and If the novelist lives
there six months in the year he may
live in England itself the other six
months and entirely escape the in
come burden.
BN virtue OI HIS investment llS
may fly his own flag and assume
many feudal privileges of the an
cieht duchy of Normandy, for these
islands are a part of that dukedom.
There are no taxes on tobacco, spir-
It's, on gun licenses, nor has he a tax
to pay to his local government.
Herm, next door, also was leased
in a similar way, and has a curious
history of its lease to Prince Bluch-
er of Waldstadt, Germany, great
grandson of Blucher, the general of
the battle of Waterloo. The late
Prince Blucher was strongly attract
ed to the Australian kangaroo and
bred them on Herm. The island is
now in its original state and the kan
garoos have vanished.

WHO VAS
WHO?
DEVIL JUDD TOLLIVER
By Louise ". COmstock

I'D EVIL" John Fox. Jr., called
- him in The Trail of the
Lonesome Pine" Devil" Judd Tolli-
yer, but all up and down the bOr-
derland of Kentucky, from the Big
Sandy to the Cumberland and far
into the Blue Ridge mountains Of
Virginia he was known as Bad"
bad" John Wright, straight-shoot-
ing son of the hills, bad man TO
pick a quarrel with. If you doubt
ed that the lanky old man who died
just a few years ago at the age of
ninety had earned that ominous
title, you had only TO look at the
thirty odd nOtches on his gun.
1t is only fair to give credence
to Wright's claim that all of his
killings were in the cause of law
and order, or at least under cir
cumStances under which, somebody
being bound to be killed, justice was
with the keenest eye and the straight
est aim. But fighting was his sec
ond nature During the Civil war
he served first as scout for Nor
gan's Raiders on the Confederate
side, was captured and imprisoned
at old Fort Smith and on his re-
lease Joined up with the Union
army and fought with it through to
the end of the war. He was quite
a family man, too, several times a
husband and father of over thirty
children whom he kept track of in
his own mind by the ingenious de-
vice Of associating them with their
mothers maiden name. Alice Wright,
the original Of June of the novel,
for instance, was a Harmon. When
John Fox, Jr., knew Wright, he
owned 5000 acres of land in Lone

AFTERNOON FROCKS
NOT SO ELABORATE

With the return of beige as a cos.
tune color. other pastels have come
into prominence-sOft pinks and
greens and blues. But there Is no
elaboration to these frocks.
They do not approach the fem
mime fashion of afternoon dresses
that we have always associated
with the name. For these are es-
sentially daytime dresses. The
smartest frocks are fashioned along
simply tailored lines without much
trimming. except perhaps the ever.
present lingerie touches.
Rough silk crepes and fat silk
crepes are used. but always silks
with dull surfaces. Sheer crepes
also. of the heavier varieties, that
tailor almost like fiat crepe, are
very smart for spring.
Black dresses, with plenty of
white trimming, will. of course, be
worn with black coats, but many
women will seize this opportunity
for lightness and brightness. Coral,
pink. light green's and blues and
beige all make smart frocks to wear
with black coats. With blue coat
the lighter shades of blue form a
pleasing contrast. With brown,
beige or the aquamarine shades are
particularly attractive.
These dresses. fortunately, will
not be long.
Longer dresses will be of a more
formal type for late afternoon oc-
casions and formal dinner. These
frocks will be more elaborate, and
lower as 20 decolletage.

that he leaped successfully from a

highest point on Goat island and the
water at Niagara falls. Meantime,
Of course, he also advanced in fame

armies and nations, but couldn't

WON BY HOOVER
Entire Economy Program Is
Put Under One Tent
By United Press

By CHtted Press
WASHINGTON, April 18. - The
house economy committee today de-
cided to submit President Herbert
Hoover'S economy program in an
omnibus bill" embodying all
phases of the proposed 100000, 900
saving in government costs next
year.
The announcement was made as
the economy committee took it's
recess after a bitter morning Ses-
sion.
The move was regarded as vir-
tual surrender to President Hoover.
Mr.. Hoover had been pounding
away in his fight to get the entire
program under one tent" and the
committee, after hours of bitter
Wrangling, came around to his views.
Chairman McDuff1e said the ON
nibuS bill would be placed as rider
on the legislative appropriations bill
and that the committee would use
the Hoover draft of the measure as
the basis for legislation which even
tually will be submitted to congress
He said that while the committee
had agreed to include the federal
pay reductions in a single bill, it
still was undecided whether to adopt
the Presidents plan of enforced
furloughs for government employees
Or the committees original proposal
for direct IL per cent wage reduc-
ton for one year.
