GOMEZ SEEKS
MORE SALARY
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. - Senor
Vernon Lefty Gomez. known to
the trade as the goofy Castillian,
is the first baseball player in 1888
to become a holdout after being
offered raise. He may be the last.
This action by the Yankees ace
southpaW hurler would seem al
most as unique as the historic in
cident wherein Mr.. x took bite
out of Fidos leg, were it not for
the human element involved.
El Gomez is no ordinary man.
He's the glamorous caballero who's
galloping through big-time base
ball with all the comical flourish
es of a befuddled sailor on horse
back.
He's the tall, skinny farmer boy
from California who came to the
big CITY, slicked back his hair and
presented the fans with a hodge
podge of dazzling pitching, Broad
way romance, and cheese diets.
Lefty did right well for a coun-
try boy last season. This awkward
beanpole of a fellow strobe out to
the mound in 81 games, not count
ing the world series appearance,
and received about $4,000 for his
services
Colonel Jake Rupert, jovial
brewer who owns the Yanks, sent
the pride of Rodeo, Calf, a con-
tract this season calling for an in
crease of probably about $4,000. But
the Castillian, who is eoofy like a
fox, came laundering down to the
offices and roared at Ed Barrow,
business manager, that he was "in-
suited"
Wants More Money
Barrow tried to explain to the
irate caballero that his salary had
been raised, not cut-that it was
Babe Ruth who got the $4,000
slash. But Senor Gomez would
accept no explanations.
Il want more money" he shout
ed. You call that raise, after the
way I pitched last season? Take
another look at the records, and
don't forget the world series statis-
tics, then maybe we can talk busi-
ness" He left in a huff.
1t seems that Lefty, the fast-ball
artist, won "a games and lost only
7 last season. One of his strongest
selling points was that he gained
Z victories over the Philadelphia
Athletics against one setback. In
the second game Of the world series
he outpitched Lonnie Warneke,
pride OF the Chicago Cubs.
Romance makes it necessary for

and builds a world brotherhood
through its spread throughout the
world. The results of Scout train
ing are indicated by the facts that
80 percent Of all Rhodes scholar
ships last year went to Boy Scouts,
So per cent of all captains of uni
Versity football teams last year
were Boy Scouts and eight of the
American all-star eleven were Boy
Scouts, as were 80 of the 40 boys
chosen for the Edison award
In conclusion the speaker urged
that every individual get the thrill
Of helping the youth of the coun-
try as only the Boy Scouts can
help them.
Charles o. Barratt, chairman of
the Boy Scout financial campaign
which starts this week, ted of the
plan for raising $1,000 i'll Ell Cen
tro, which Barratt stated would be
a ''sure investment The slogan of
this campaign is to be 20. K. Fu-
ture America" H. L. Soper, chair
man of the Ell Centro district and
Russell Kliegel, president of the
Impeiial-Yuma council, also made
brief talks.
Others prominent in Boy Scout
work who were present were, Har-
old Tyler, member of the Imperial
County council, H. r. Anderson,
district commissioner; H. E. Louns-
bury, executive of Imperial and
Yuma county councils District
Chairman Richard Emerson, CAL

leo; Victor Hetzel; scoutmaster

chairman Troop IA, Ell Centre and
Harry Sones and r. L. Hayden,
members of the Troop commit
tee.
At the conclusion of the cham
ber luncheon a group of Central
Junior college students in costume
put on a short skit advertising

presented on Friday and Saturday
nights of this week.

BOY SCOUT WORK OUTLINED AT
LUNCHEON OF LOCAL CHAMBER

IN an inSpirational talk giveE
yesterday noon before members OF
the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merca and leaders in Boy Scout
work in Imperial county. Oscar
Kirkham, regional executive of the
Boy Scouts of America for this
district. stated that the greatest
asset OF any community is its boy
life. Youth, he said, must be saved
To carry on the things which we
have as objectives III our own lives.
The speaker told of the history
of the Boy Scout movement, which
was started III England shortly af-
ter the Boer War There are now
over 100000 Scouts in the world,
representing 73 nations, every col
or, every creed and every tongue.
In outlining the contributions OF
the Boy Scout movement to the
boyhood of the country Kirkham
pointed out that it provides a def
mite program for leisure time.
The average boy has five hours of
leisure time a day he stated. 1T
is during this time that character
is developed. The outlook at pres
ent is toward days with even more
leisure time, time to enrich life and
to dream out the things closest to
our hearts. Scouting teaches the
boy how to use leisure time to the
advantage of himself and the COM
munity as a whole.
Through the merit badge system
Scouting opens for exploration 96
fields to boys, according to the
speaker, in any of which they may
find their life calling. The indi-
vidual is not bound to a group, he
can develop as fast or as slowly as
he desires in the varied interests
which Scouting offers, and, because
of this, each boy finds the field in
which he eXcells and becomes a
leader in his troop of one activity
which teaches leadership training
to each boy
Kirkham stated that Scouting
instills a desire to do something
worth while, combating evil in
fluences; teaches love of the open
country, giving each boy an out

COMMENT ON
SPORT WORLD.
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. 10. Some
where out on the broad Atlantic,
travelling at a speed which must
lore her to death, is Bluebird. the
racing car in which that top man
among the daredevils, Sir NAL
COIN Campbell, hopes to establish
new worlds speed mark next
month.
Bluebird, looking even more like
something out of the other world
than she did last year, was swung
aboard the Berengaria Tuesday.
Sir Malcom, busy, with his will
perhaps, will follow in week or
so.
Bluebird may not know it. but
she is going to work hard down
there by the sad sea waves of Day
tona this year. For her master,
whose chief ambition in life is to
travel 300 miles an hour chat a
mere five miles a minute, one mile
every 10 seconds) on land, says he
plans to do just that.
What sort of a gal is this Blue
bird, anyway? Well, she's fast
for one thing. And she's no spring
chicken, either having been with
Sir Malcolm since 1924 OF course,
her face has been lifted several
times. So often in fact that the
front angle and steering wheel
are her only original parts.
Bluebird's pretty hefty, too, her
q feet weighing about four and
one half tons.
Editors note-This thing is get
ting pretty involved. From here
on Well just forget Bluebird's q
gal, and treat her like an auto
mobile. OkayO
When Campbell streaked 253.9
miles an hour last year, Bluebird
was propelled by 400 horsepow-
er motor. Dissatisfied with his
speed, Campbell yanked out the
1400 horsepower business and re-
placed it with "huSh-huSh'
don't ask us what that Isl motor
developing about $500 horsepower.
The new engine is of the special
Rolls-Royce type which gained the
worlds air speed record in the
British Schneider trophy machine
last year, and was lent to Campbell
by the British air ministry.
Changes Made
The tail of the machine has been
raised and the ground clearance
lowered since last year, and spe-
cial type of multiple disc clutch
has been used to take the extra
power given off by the engine.
When Bluebird heads down the
measured course. her motors roar
ing full blast. huge lead weights
will be strapped to her side. En-
gineers advised the ballast, believ-
ing that the car, despite its weight,
would take off like an airplane
at 300 miles an hour.
The foot accelerator is much
larger than is found in the usual
racing car. The reason for this
is that if Campbell's foot slipped
off the pedal while going full tilt,
the sudden decrease in speed would
send the car into series of giant
somerSaultS.
One more little item and we're
through Bluebird'S tires have only
The thinnest stretch of rubber over
the cord Experiment proved that
the tires are cooler at 300 miles per
hour than they are when the car
is "loafing" along at $50 m. p. h.
Tomorrow, unless the technocratS
get us, we'll give you a few facts
about Sir Malcolm, millionaire,
racer, big game hunter, and the
pride and joy of the occults.

STOCKHOLM SENDS
CITY HALL TO u. S.
Model in Wood, to Be Shown
at Chicago, Is Complete

NJ the Associated Press.

0y the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, April 12-The Stock
holm City Hall (Stadshus), the idea
for which was 20 years in Qualification,
and which is acknowledged one of the
most interesting examples Of civic
architecture in the world, is being
modelled in wood for exhibition at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago.
The model, being worked out by Aron
Sandberg, sculptor, and six assistants,
will be in a scale of l to 100, and will
be complete in every detail, including
statuary, ornaments, window designs,
and. If the watchmakers are successful,

Built on the site of an old windmill

faiences, cabinet work and frescoes,
climaxed by central banqueting hall
with marble floors, glowing red and
violet tile, and multitude of painted.
tilt and sculptured details, which alone
cost s250000.
The architect, Ragnar Ostberg,
studied old palace architecture, both
Swedish and foreign, for two decades
before he submitted his plans as salts
factory.
As completed, the building of dark
red brick faces the sun and the sea
with a massive colonnade somewhat
reminiscent of the portico of the Doge's
Palace at Venice, although in his gen.
eral treatment of central court and gal
leries and tower, the architect had in
mind an ancient Stockholm castle.
Swedish royalty has contributed to
the artistic worth of the structure,
some of the interior murals being from
the brush of Prince Eugene who is
well known as painter. The cost
and sumptuous atmosphere of the
building aroused some criticism, as did
the nude statues in the garden, repre-
senting men whom many Stockholmers
still living knew in life. and the fake
tomb of Birger Jarl, founder of Stock
holm.
The effect of water and vista will be
included in the model which is to have
