Appointments Coming

Governor Wilbur L. Cross is expected to end many months of anxiety and pickering upon the parts of both democrats and re- pubiicans shortly with an announcement of his sppointees for the offices of Motor Vehicle Commissioner. Tax Commissioner. and several others of like importance. There is concerted movement afoot in the state 10 have the governor retain one of the two republican ineumbents in the above positions. Republicans seem to feel that they can't hold both these appointve offi- cea so they arc eentering their efforts on keeping Robbins B. Stoeckel in his position as head of the motor vehicle department
 There is no doubt but what the retire. ment of Mir Stoeckel would leave con- spicuous void in the administration of this department not to mention the official life of the state. But to imply that this void could not be removed by appointment of a democrat is nothing more nor less than criticism of the party of the governor. It is perfectly reasonable to believe that the democrats could bring forward for this highly important job man who in time would achieve the same reputation as Com- missioner Stoeckel now possesses. But whether the democrats will do this or allow Mr Stoeeke to hold over seems to rest in the governors hands.
 He is being urged by members of bis party to replace the present department head with a democrat. He is being urged by republicans and by many independent vot- CTS. to whom he owes his present office. to retain Mir Stoeekel. No matter which course of action he takes he will be condemned. Therefore. 1t IS simply matter of acting for tbe best interests of the state. If the governor feels tbat departmental changes are needed and that they won't harm efficiency he will aceede to democratic requests. If he takes the other viewpoint. he will not make the change.
 Tn this respect the Hartford Courant makes very good statement. It says. It can be argued that if Mir Stoeckel were democrat and his party. long in power. had lost the governorship, the new republican dispensation very likely would turn him out to. make room for one of the faithful. ] hat is the way politics IS ordinarily played but we like to think of something better than
 this from the present Governor of Con- neetieut. nurtured as he has been in the rar flied atmosphere of Yale. .' That IS very noble sentiment and fine compliment Nfor Governor Gross. but it simply implies that the democrats. as always. will look out for the welfare of the state and the nation. while the republicans are looking out for themselves. Oh, well. why not be as soft as everi

IN THE SENATE.
(Hartford 'Courant)

The Congressional Record for April 22 carries on it's first page thls brief notation, "The vice-presi- dent laid before the senate q note of appreciation, addressed to the secretary of the senate, from Mrs Alice C. Howell, expressing thanks for flowers sent and courtesies ex- tended by senators upon the oc- casion of the death of Hon. Robert E. Howell, late q senator from the state of Nebraska, which was or dered to lie on the table" And then the Congressional Record re- sumes under the head of Chain Stores, Sales, Costs, and Profits of Retail Chains. 6. Doc. No. 40)
 The procedure may date back to the days of Daniel Webster for aught we know, but curiosity must busy itself as to be ultimate fate of the note of appreciation. Did the vice. president order 1t to lie on the table, or is there rule giving that authority to the secretary of the senate? As time and news print mean nothing to the senate. one would assume that we might be told by whose authority the Howell note was laid on the table. And what will happen to it ulti- mately? Surely when the senate adjourns, if not before, that let ter will be found still lying on the table. Until then every day will sec an employee remove that letter that the table may be dusted and polished.
 We should assume that senator ought to move that the letter be printed in the Congressional Rec ord and when the motion is pass ed, the question of the ultimate fate of the document might be considered. After a day of debate. it could be passed on to the Custo- idan of Documents. Something should be done, at least, for q New England sense of order balks at the thought of that document 1y- ing .on the table for ah indefinite period.

Tine legislature has not yet dis posed of several bills before 1t which would undertake to develop new punitive taxation for chain stores. The bills have been heard in committee. There should. be un- favorable report and prompt rejec- ton of the proposed laws.
 There can .be no objection to taxation of chain stores when the tax Is enacted with honest intent to make outside ownership of local business pay q fair share of the costs of local government, provid- ed. of course, that this intent is carried out reasonable. But there is no fairness fin the spirit of tax penaiizlng of chain stores merely because they are chain stores. Such taxes hurt the community and do not help it. They merely add something to the community cost of living.
 What tho standard chain stores do requires no elaboration. Every body knows that they have forced local merchants 10 sounder busI- ness methods thereby reducing

Once more Attorney General Homer S.. Cummings has reiterated the principle that the seat of our national government is in Washington. D. C.. and not Wall Street, New York. He first made this statement in cryptic fashion at the testimonial dinner in bis honor at Bridgeport some weeks ago. He repeated it this week in the course of d radio address He said in part Those who have considered it legitimate to gamble with other peoples money must abdicate their leadership and those who have thought that the center of government is located in the financial district must learn that its proper seat is at Washington, There's a timely warning. And one that will meet with popular approval. Too often of late yeaE it has been apparent that the people of this nation were getting little considera- ton from the executives and legislators down at Washington simply because the moneyed interests didn't approve.

SHAUTE, SOUTHPAW |

Effective Against Cards in
1932-ScheduIes Wait
Pennsylvania Act.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, February Joe
N Shaute, veteran left-handed
pitcher of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, today added his name
to the long list of satisfied athletes who
have sent in their signed contracts to
the Dodger business office.
Just what role Shaute will play in the
campaign, Manager Max Carey has not
made plain. He did not mention Shaute
in discussing his plans with newspaper
men the other day. Joe, who formerly
toiled for Cleveland in the American
League, won seven and lost the same
number with the Dodgers last year, ap-
pearing mostly in relief roles.
Shaute was spot" pitcher in 1882,
being especially effective against the st.
Louis Cardinals.
THE 1898 major league schedules
i probably will not be announced for
several weeks, perhaps longer. The
schedulemakers are delaying final action
until the Pennsylvania Legislature rules
definitely on the question OF Sunday

Three clubs, the Philadelphia Ath-
letics of the American League and the
Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates of the
National will be affected by the Legis-
lature's decision, whichever way it
may 60.
The Americans League listed no Mid
winter meeting this year, but the Ma
tional League solonS were booked for

known in advance, little but routine
business was to be transacted.
RANCH RICKEY reveals that the
- st. Louis Cardinals have little or
no hope that Charley Colbert, VIC
tim of a hunting accident in the Fall.
would be able to play shortstop this
season. He believes it will be months
before Colbert is fully recovered from
the gunshot wound that badly injured
the calf of one leg. Colbert himself
thinks he will be able to play, but the
Cardinals plan to pick a successor from
among Jake Flowers, Sparky Adams and
Charley Wilson frankie Frisch will be
switched to third base with Rogers
Hornsby at second
Frisch is a hold-out right now, but
probably will swing into line shortly.
THE latest addition to the hold-out
i brigade is Ernie lombard, burly
Cincinnati catcher. He was given
raise by the Reds, but sent back his
contract unsigned, intimatirfg that he
would be pleased to receive contract
for two or three years. lombard, who
owns one of the biggest noses and

In Slab Recruit
BY SAM MURPHY.

NEW YORK, February 7.-Not to
~ be outdone by the Boston Red
Sox, who are carting four young
New England pitchers down to Flor
ida for a Spring tryout, the Braves
have gathered in five recruits.
The most interesting is a hay
pitcher from Brownsville, Me-, by
the name of Arthur Strout. This
young hurler is southpaw, one of
the type that breeZes his fast one
past the batters. Scouts report that
he is the best prospect the Braves
have picked up.

that Strout is the best prospect.
He saw the southpaw in action in
one game last Summer against the
Cuban Giants, that formidable
Negro team, made up of the best
players in the semispro ranks.
Strout held the visiting team to
three hits, which so annoyed the
Negro boys that they began to poke
fun at the farmland.
You boys would not have made
one hit off me-" said Strout after
the game, "only spent all day yes

Victory for Ernie Would Bar
Bout With Sharkey, Who
Owns Him.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

n JEW YORK, February T.
M Madison Square Gardens
4 \ plans for a heavyweight
championship match next
June hinge on the 15-round
squabble between Primo Carnera
and Ernie Schaaf next Friday
night. President w. F. Carey,
Jimmy Johnston, Johnny Buckley
and few others will be on the
anxious seat.
The Garden has announced that the
winner of Fridays joust will be sent
against Jack Sharkey next June But
1t Is not as simple as that. To begin
with, the two leading contenders for
the title are the former champion, Max
Schmeling, and Max Baer of California.
These two have been matched by Jack
Dempsey for his first major venture in
the promotional field.
Most of the wisenheimers will tell
you that, regardless of what happens
Friday night the Garden will not stage
There is good logic behind their state
mentS. If Schaaf should win from
Camera, the Garden would be placed
in the most unenviable position of
matching Schaaf, in whom Sharkey
has a so per cent managerial interest,
with the champion.
THE spectacle of a fighter and his
L manager battling for the heavy
weight championship is not in
triguing. A rift between. Sharkey and
Schaaf would have to be created and
the public no doubt would be sus-
picious.
Sharkey himself has helped to COM
plicate matters for the Garden by
stating that under no circumstances
would he fight Schaaf. Nor. he said,
would he give away, sell or in any way
dispose of his interest in Schaaf.
Therefore, the Gardens hopes, natu-
rally would seem to be for Camera
victory. If Camera wins he could be
dropped in with Sharkey in June. But
the question is whether such match
would be of sufficient appeal to the
public to make it advisable. Some say
vas and some say no. Carnera's
handlers claim a match between their
man and Sharkey would pack the Gar
den bowl with Italian fans alone. They
argue that there are 100000 persons
of Italian birth or descent within strik
ing distance of New York and that,
with the title at stake, many thousands
OF these would contrive to dig up the
price of tickets.

arm still extended, should start the
club down in the forward swing.
When this principle is followed dam
ger of too much speed at the start
of the down swing is largely
obviated. The left hand and arm are
less powerful than the right and are
not in a position to make an easy
application of high power. If you
start hitting fast at the top the
right takes control, because it is
more powerful.
So start the downswing slowly,
with the left in control. and in
crease the speed so that the great
est velocity of the clubhead will be
attained at impact. Then the right
can be coming in powerfully with
out danger. 1t will help to carry
the clubhead into a vigorous follow
through. The model of George Won
Elm, shown above, is good one
to follow.
