FARLEY HEARD
DNPARTY PLEA
Midwest Progressives Ask
ed To Ignore Republi-
can "Croaking"

OMAHA, Sept. 2O.-(UP)-
Declaring that recovery, "now so
definitely on the way" must not
be interrupted, Postmaster Gen
eral James A. Farley in a speech
here last night called upon mid
western progressives Of both par
ties to disregard the "croaking of
the Republican high command
which is insisting that black ruin
lies ahead"
"Level-headed Franklin d.
Roosevelt has not gone Bolshevik
and just because California NOM

ernOr the Democratic party is not
meditating a plunge into the
depths of radicalisnr or into the
slavery of despotism,' Farley
said.
The speaker paid glowing
eulogy to Senator George w. Nor
ris, Nebraska progressive Repub-
lican leader, whom he called "the
banner statesman of the middle
west"
at is no easy thing to take
sides against your own party as
Norris did" Farley said; "but
when that party abandons every
thing for which you stand and be-
comes the vehicle of privilege in
opposition to the welfare Of the
masses, what is an honest states
man to do? SO my hat is off to
George Norris.
There were several million less
famed Republicans who did as he
did. They will be with us this year
as they were in 1882, for the is
sues are the same, the hazards
just as great.
They know that the great
work has just begun; that the
American system is not being dyn-
amited. The personality of the
president is too well known to
lend itself 70 such vagarieS.
Results in the Maine elections
forecast great Democratic vic
tory this fall, Farley said. The is
sue there was the New Deal.
Senator Hale, as cruSted a re-
dictionary as ever barnacled on the
senate floor, fifth cousin to Teddy
Roosevelt, and others who shouted
that the recovery processes were

He called Republican charges
of RECOMMENDATION and wanton mis-
use of money for relief purposes
"balderdash."
"Our adversaries," he said,

that Uncle Sam is standing on a
housetop scattering money to the
winds. As yet they have failed to
bring forth an alternative propos-

They roll out figures that would

They never mention the fact that
very large proportion of the
expenditures are loans of the most
valid sort that will be returned to
the treasury in due time.

NOTRE DAME HEAD ANSWERS CHARGES
Football Would Cease If Intellectual Pursuits
 Are Interfered With

South Bend, Ind, Feb 20-UP) -Notre Dame university would abandon football if it interfered with the schools intellectual pur- suits, the Rev John F. O'Hara, c. s. C.. acting president of the university, said to-day in answer to the charges made against Notre Dameand Southern California by Henry S. Pritchctt, president emer- itus of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teach ing.
 "We believe that pr Pritchett has started with a false assumption that highly publicized football is inimical to the intellectual inter- ests of the university" said Father O'Hara. "We would drop football If we ever found it to be the case.'
 In answering pr Pritchetts re- port asking for information about Notre Dame's advancement of in tellectual pursuits, Father O'Hara cited the fact that 20 priests are studying for advanced degrees in six universities, and that during the past decade priest -tacacherS have studied at famous universities throughout Europe and in the United States. Father O'IIara also pointed out that only 20 per cent of the $4,000.000 increase in the material plant at Notre Dame dur ing the past F years is devoted to athletics.
 Father O'Hara also mentioned that Notrc Dame's spiritual work has won international respect.

STENCIL APPEARS CHOICE FOR POST
 OF FLATBUSH g
Demand Made to Make Casey Dodgers Boss
 Succeeding Carey
BY JACK CUDDY


 United Press Stan Correspondent New York, Feb 20-That rolick- ing revolt in Flatbush-is expected to come to head this week and result in the removal of Max Ca rey as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 Charles D. (Casey) Stengel, jov- ial coach who considers himself master mind because he eats
 brains and eggs for breakfast, stands out as the bailiwick's choice to succeed Carey.
 A roaring demand for Stengel
 has swept across the Gowanus canal from the flats of Canirsie to the docks of Red Hook. Heark- ening back to the uproarious days
 when rotund Wilbert Robinson di- rected the Dodgers drolleries, Brooklyn fans demand the return of slap-jack baseball. They want Casey and his Gowanus gamboliers to make them laugh if they cant have winning team. The Brooklyn team has floundered into a quandry. To prevent civil
 war within the squad, the direc- tors apparently must dispose of Manager Carey because they are unable to trale off their players, such as Joe Strip, with whom Ca rey has been in constant disagree ment.
 Accordingly, the Brooklyn direc- tors will hold q meeting just as soon as General Manager Bob Quinn recovers sufficiently from an attack of influenza. Old Bob is expected to emerge from his bou- dolr tomorrow or Thursday. when the managerial situation will be settled. Carey probably will be paid his $12,000 salary for 1884, and turned adrift.
 Quite unsual is this plan to make a manager walk the plank just be- fore the opening Of spring train- ing. However, even the most con- servative writers have always ad- mitted that the Dodgers are an unusual aggregation.
 Carey took over the Dodgers in the autumn of 1931, and his 1882 team finished third. In 1892, Carey was still fortified by the organiza- tion left over from the regime of Uncle" Wilbert Robinson, whom he succeeded.
 The 18-year regime of Robinson, while not always successful, was colorful and popular with the fans. Uncle Wilbert conducted his outfits with a laXity which kept the Flat bushers in good humor and made them forget defeats. Carey, q for mer divinity student and strict dis ciplinarian, would have none Of this. Feuds developed and disaster followed.
 Stengel seems perfectly suited for the post. He knows basegall thoroughly. and besides has high sense of the ridiculous, plenty of color and a boisterous personality.

 SPORTAPARADE.. . bSA&Rb{aD
.Ayp.-- ..~a~~~--.a-- ---.-..- ~H1

By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Feb. 20-UP)-Pos- itive proof that Primo Camera and Tommy Loughran plan to go through with their fight for the worlds heavyweight champion ship Feb. 22, was offered today in reports from Miami that Loughran suspects his rival of plotting foul play.
 This suspicion is just like the first robin of spring, the first frost on the pumpkin. In short, talk of the two-way cross, rumors that throats are about to be split, and vague reports of sinister characters lurking in about the training camps, is the official herald of all heavyweight title fights.
 Prize fightpress agents are very punctual with their tripe. So pune tual, in fact, that experts, without knowing the date of bout. can, If given the ballyhoo in order, accur- ately predict the hour the men will step in the ring.
 This is because all ballyhoo for important fights is roughly divided into four stages. The first stage, which is released week or so be- fore the bout, is the 1-think-he-is- up-toso me-dirtyburiness stage.
 The second is the rivalspy kicked -out- of f-opponent's S. camp stage and usually comes four days in ad- vance. Hoday or tomorrow Lough- ran or Camera will send a member of their entourage to the others camp to take notes on the actiyi- ties. The spy, will be recognized i'm mediately and chased. To assure his being spotted. the spy will be dis guised as gentleman.
 Number 8, which is normally reached two days prior to the bat tie, is known as the fighter-hires- detective-to -prevent-r t-rival-from poi soning- his- is-food-and-water stage. In addition to the engaging of some local flatfool to stand around with his hand on a Derringer, this stage calls fo rthe discharge of the cook and several other minor figures around the camp.
 1 and usually falls on the day before the fight. It contains just about everything. Including threats. law suits, mention of crooked referees and judges, and reckless bandyine about of such as varlet, swine. vel low, bum, snake, thief, and chiseler
 What mystifics me is the fact that press agents seem to think there is news in one prize fighter declaring his rival a dishonest bum If I was the press agent for MT Loughran, I would have to make | the following statement:
 l "Mr. Camera is above reproach He is an upright, fortnight, down right gentleman. He has never been party ot any frames. He would not stoop to strike a foul blow. nor would he Intentionally violate the ethics of the great and noble pro. fession which he and I, like bro. thers, pursue. I admire him. I dc not know whether I can beat him or not on the night of Feb. 22 Anno Dominoes. He's awful big.
 This would be front page news anywhere, and would even be what is known as bulletin matter in the Cameroons of West Africa.

Wherever you go you hear dis cussions concerning the merit of the penholder grip, finger-spin serve and the superiority of peb- hled rubber paddles over the sand paper style. And everywhere the populace, both rich and poor, is pasting that pellet across net and shouting Change service"
 The history of pee-wee tennis isn't lost in antiquity-but it's lost just the same. Historians go back to about 1889, when one James Cibb, an Englishman, found he could have a lot of fun with ball and a paddle in a game he named ''gossima.' After that people in England, France, Hungary and America also discovered the fun, and when they all joined, it be- came known by various names, the latest and best fitted being table tennis.
 Introduction of the celluloid ball was made in 1900, and from then on table tennis caught on. Today there are more than 100000 de- voices in the United States, organ ized and governed by an associa- ton that makes rules and conducts national and sectional tournaments.
 More than 400 players from all parts of the country recently took part in New York tournament, and at present players are on a tour through the middle west.
 Heading the parade are Jimmy champion, and Jessie Purves oe n n hn m. pion. They will defend their titles against players from every city. town and hamlet in the United Sattes.
 As popular as it is in America, this indoor sport is more wide spread in Hungary, considered the hot-bed of the game. There are kiddies cut their eye teeth on the spheroid. play right on through school, and may soon be given q diploma in the noble sport on graduation from college. Some of the greatest players in the world, notably G. Barna, come from that country.
 Japan, too, must play it's table tennis, and 100000 of the little men and women are said to be up in paddles, whaling the ball across tho net. England has succumbed to the game, there being more than 500 clubs in that country. Fred Perry, England's No 1 ranking tennis player. and winner of the II. s. National singles title in 1883, IS an expert at the miniature game.
 Up until a couple of years ago the game was looked upon as a "sissys" sport. It was summed by the manly devotees of golf, football and baseball because it was consid- cred unworthy of the brawn and brain of a big he-man. But times have changed. Table tennis as it is played today, with cut-shots, accu- rate playing of the corners and twisting serves is a real test of a players nerves, eye and footwork.
 It is faster than tennis, because it is confined to a much smaller court-nine by five feet-and an expert can make a ball do tricks that make you think your eyes are deceiving you.
 The game has progressed to q point where there is even compe- tition similar to the Davis cup con tests in tennis. In 1892, ten nations competed for the Swathling cup, which is similar to the tennis tro- phy.
