Windup OF Basket
Ball Sc easOn
(By Eric Dougan J


Last week witnessed the end Of
the basketball season SO far as Nor
gan county high schools were con-
cerned. Two Morgan county teams
were entered in the sectional tour
nament at Caldwell. Pennsville lost
a heartbreaker to Pleasant City Fri
day night, 1926.
M. & M. played against Lafferty
Saturday morning, winning 1924.
They were off form, and played
poorly most of the way. They made
a miraculous comeback in the even
ing game, but couldn't quite match
the efforts~of Dresden's Dennison-
bound team The final score, 1915
indicates good guarding game. 1t
was beautiful game to watch.
In the Pennsville game, Pleasant
City got away to an early lead, but
Pennsville refused to give up hope.
Pennsville made a gallant stand in
the second half gaining back their
Pleasant City. Then Hooper went
out on personals and Pennsville
seemed to lose its spark Pleasant
City then added five markers to
their score in the remaining few
minutes of the game.
M. & M. played Lafferty Saturday
morning and were fortunte to win
the game. Lafferty lacked smooth
ness in attack Or certainly would
have won the game. The Belmont
countians cut M. & MS lead of
eight points in the fourth quarter
to two at the end of the game. M.
& MS players realized they were in
for trouble il they did not snap out
of it. In the game against Dresden
they played one Of the best games of
their career, possessing more spirit,
more pep. more anxiety to go places
than displayed by - the Big Reds
during the entire season. Let no
one criticise the efforts of the Big
Reds against Dresden. They did
their best and that's all that is ex-
pected of any team. People are
wont to underestimate the Dresden
team-they have won 19 straight
games this season. An especially
bright point in the game was the
bottling up OF two All-Muskingum
county guards, Roth and Tumblin,
by those brilliant Big Red forwards,
Finley and Betz. Roth got one
point in the game, Tumblin, two
all free throws. Perkins played the
greatest game Of his high school
days against Dresden-a swell floor
game and holding his opponent to
one basket Price and Littler played
their usual sterling game at the

FIND BODY OF MISSING BOY
VICTIM OF SAN DIEGO FIEND

SAN DIEGO, July "a. U.P;-Dal-
bert Aposhian, seven-year old San
Diego youth, was the victim of a
heinous murder, police revealed to-
day after autopsy surgeons exam
ined the body.
The body was found in the main
channel of the harbor by sailors
aboard a naval shore boat. The dis
covery climaxed a seven-day search
for the missing youth which was
pressed by city officials, deputies
and Boy Scouts.
Autopsy surgeons revealed that the
body had been horribly mutilated.
Besides evidence of Strangulation
the ears had been cut off, the eyes
gouged out, and the tongue slit.
The surgeons grimly refused to
talk as the gathering evidence
showed the crime to be one OF the
most diabolicaI of series OF un-
solved murders extending back to
the deaths of Hazel Bradshaw and
Virginia Parker several years ago.
Coroner Gum declared, however,
that the examination unquestion-
ably showed that the boy was the
victim of a maniacal killer.
The boy was the son of George
M. Aposhian, proprietor of small
San Diego grocery store. The
youngster was last seen at his ia
theirs shop week ago. Since that
time various reports were turned in
by citizens who thought they had
seen the boy on the streets of the
city, today's examination showed
however, that he had been dead for
number Of days.

'SQUABBLE ON
RACING BOARD

SACRAMENTO, July "a. U.P)-
Governor Rolph's two California
horse racing commission nomina-
tionS were headed straight toward
trouble today as a group of deter
mined senator's proposed to fight
for rejection of the executive IS
choices.
The governor submitted to the
senate the names of Daniel j. o.
Brien, former San Francisco police
chief, and John A. McNaughton,
Los Angeles.
Rolph withheld the third COM
mission nomination. The senate
wants to know why. Upper house
leaders feel all three commissioners
should be named while the legisla-
ture is in session, and confirmed by
the senate.
Consequently, strong senate
bloc plans to bring the situation to
head by refusing confirmation OF
both nominees.
McNaughton, head of the Los An
geleS Union stockyard, is acceptable
to the senate. Not SO O'Brien
leSg-time personal friend and po
litical ally of Rolph's.
| Senate opposition to O'Brien is
not based on personal grounds
Some upper house leaders feel he
is not qualified.

STATES RIGHTS THRUST INTO
BACKGROUND BY CABINET MAN
Secretary Dern Tells Governors Power OF
Federal Government Essential During
Efforts AT Recovery.

SACRAMENTO, July "a. UP
Traditional Democratic doctrine
Of state S rights was showed into
the background today in a Signifi-
cant address by Secretary of War
George H. Dern before the first
business session of the national
governor conference.
The war secretary declared con-
citions were such that state bor-
ders, to a large extent should be
diSregarded.
Relationship of the states to
the federal government is un-
doubtedly changing Dern said.
Everything indicates, under our
complex national industrial life
that the federal government must
take over more and more power.
"Since its sole purpose would be
to promote social justice, why not
do it openly? Evil practices have
hidden behind the bugaboo OF state
rights long enough"
The former Utah governor point
ed out that "pSychologically and
economically we are all in the
same boat and added:
For effective economic plan
ming state borders must to an ex-
tent be disregarded and the United
States taken as one great economic
area.
"If the national recovery act
fails, something more radical will
have to be tried, because our ma
tional existence will be at stake.

MAKE APPEAL
President To Address People
OF Nation Tonight Over Air On
Recovery Efforts.
BY II. o. THOMPSON

WASHINGTON, July "a. Pres
ident Roosevelt will put into motion
tonight the greatest peace time
appeal to public opinion this
country has ever known. He put
the finishing touches to his friend
ly" appeal to the people as the
national recovery administration
came to grips with the problem
of stabilizing the chaotic Ameri-
can oil industry.
Mr.. Roosevelt's message will be
another of his friendly talks to
the American people. He will make
direct plea to every employer
in the United States to enter vol
untary agreements for higher wages
and shorter working hours.
Mobilizing every means of COM
munication, the MIRA is beginning
| its drive to put the recovery pro-
gram before every individual in
the country with a blunt state
ment that the return of better
times depends upon prompt COM
pliance with the Presidents re-
employment campaign.
Employers were asked to CO.
operate by agreeing to a 35-houI
week with a $14 minimum wage
for labor, and 40-hour week and
minimum SIS salary for clerical
workers
The oil hearings opening today
bring to the front the issues OF
federal production control, licens-
ing of oil production, transporta-
ton, refining and marketing, anC
matters of price cutting and labor
regulations.
The code proposed by the Ameri-
can petroleum institute fixed 40
hour week with minimum wages
from 40 to AT cents an hour. In
dependent operators proposed 6
30-hour week with minimum pay
of so cents an hour.
Factions within the industry were
arrayed against each other pro.
viding friction in addition to the
usual differences between the in.
tereSts of employer and employee
The industry wants a dictator
and developments in this connec'
ton may be expected. Resolution
attached to the proposed code de
clare that price cutting and othe
marketing practices make it es
sential to license the business o
producing, transporting, refining
and marketing petroleum and it
products"

POST. READY
FOR HONORS

NEW YORK, July "a. U.P)-Re-
covered from the gruelling grind of
mis- record breaking flight around
the world, Wiley Post set out to-
day to receive the applause of New
York and the nation.
He will be guest of honor at
luncheons, dinners, and receptions
today and tomorrow and WedneS-
day will receive the noisy and dra-
matte welcome New York accords
its heroes-a parade up lower
Broadway to city hall through a
shower of ticker tape and shredded
newspapers.
Thursday or Friday Post hopes to
hop off for Oklahoma where his
home admirers plan to outdo the
honors accorded him in New York.
Post may stop at Yukon, Okla
homa, where his chief backer lives,
but if the field is too small for a
landing he will proceed to Okla
home City.
Post first thought today was for
his monoplane, the Winnie Mae
and he called up the field to be
sure it was being properly guarded
from souvenir hunters. The Winnie
Mae carried Post and Harold Gatty
around the world two years ago.
Post landed it at Floyd Bennett
field Saturday night, completing the
first solo flight around the world
in record time of seven days 18
hours and 40 minutes. He bettered
the record established with Gatty
by 81 hours and two minutes.
The toughest part of the trip, he
said, was when he landed at Flat,
Alaska. 1t was here he broke the
propeller and damaged the landing
gear.
~ was so tired that I just
couldn t used my head" the fly
er said. ~ should have stopped
at Nome, but I was too anxious to
get on, guess. If I had stopped
earlier, I'd have saved time.''
Post said he believed he could
have clipped a full "a hours more
from the record if he had been
lefueled at Berlin in 20 minutes as
originally scheduled. Instead it
took three and one-half hours, and
he was not able to take off in time
70 avoid bad weather. He was
forced down at Koenigsberg on the
flight to Moscow.
