BIG LEAGUE Ex-SWATTER
 HITS AGAIN
Ton Gulley Heavy Player in Politics Plays
 New Game Well

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan l. That hard-hitting young outfielder Big Tom Gulley-you used to see him with the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago White Sox-has just smacked out a home run on his first trip to bat in the game of politics.
 And now it's Alderman Thomas Gulley, representative of the Fourth Ward in the municipality of Little Rock.
 Civic affairs and the drug s5ore business have gained an apt follow CT, but they've simply ruined a good baseball player who once mis- sed the batting championship of the Southern Association by only two points.
 Starred At Football
 Having acquitted himself so well as a halfback at Mississippi State College that he was mentioned for the A1l-American team of 1921, Big Tom turned to professional base ball soon after he was handed his sheepskin.
 He found his first berth with the Cleveland Indians, and the Ameri- can league wasn't long in learning he could do tricks with baseballs as well as footballs Two years later found him doing heavy bat ting for the. Little Rock Travellers in the Southern Association. He hit .380 that season but missed the batting championship by two point margin. psF
 Boys "Ganged-Up" On Elders
 Gulley joined the Chicago White Sox in 1926. then was sold to the International league and played with Montreal five years.
 After retiring from baseball, he opened a drug store here and forth with it became the gathering place, the lodge hall and the club rooms for all the youngsters in the com munity.
 And there are some who say the boys simply "ganged" on their dads and left them no alternative but to elect Doe" Gul1ey to the board of aldermen, irrespective of whether he. wanted the job.

MASTER CRAFTSMAN

All things considered, Cochrane is the best backstop major league baseball has had since the palmy days of Kling, Archer, Schalk and Bresnahan. He combines speed with ruggedness, hitting ability and a rare aggressiveness.
 Four years ago, after Howard Ehmke had stood the Chicago Cubs on their collective heads in the opening game of the world series I talked with Modrecai (Three- Fingered Brown about the game Naturally I expected him to dwell at length on the skill of Ehmke in the box, as appreciated by one of the great right-handed pitchers of all time. Quite to the contrary MT. Brown went into a rhapsody about Cochrane.
 "Cochrane's performance to me was the standout feature of the game" said Brown, as I recall his words. He not only did everything mechanically that you could expect but he was away ahead of the batsman every time. outguessin2 him and getting the maximum out of Ehmke's control. I have not seen anything so good since Johnny Kling was working behind the bat.

WITHOUT A PEEP

Two years later, strangel enough, Cochrane was a goat of the world series which the Ath- letics lost to the St. Louis Cardi- nals, or, to be more specific, to a young man very much on the loose-John Leonard Martin.
 Cochrane was not physically in good shape for that series. He was all taped up. Not only had he overworked, but his nerves were cn edge. The stock market crash had hit his personal fortunes, as it had other star ball-players. He was not hitting and on top of that he was trying to keep Martin and the rest of the Cardinals in leash while working with couple of pitchers, Grove and Earnshaw who spent little or no time worry ing how close they kept the run ners to the bags before letting the ball go.
 It was the toughest kind of a spot for Cochrane, but he took the banning without peep. When the As finally got together and roped Martin it was too late to keep the world championship from slip ping out of their hands.
 Cochrane staged a comeback last season, boosting his hitting mark to 1922 as he went on a rampage toward the end of the season. He is not as fast as he used to be, but he is only 30 and has several years of first-class back stopping in his system

The tax revision measure had

BOOTLEGGING

SACRAMENTO, March %. U.P)-
Cancellation of liquor licenses held

one block of public schools here
was asked of the state board of
equalization today by w M. Halla-
nan, chief of police, as investigation
of alleged bootlegging activities
among high school students pro-
ceeded.
Basis for the cancellation request
rested upon an old city ordinance,
passed in 1894. which prohibits liq-
uor sales in the vicinity of public
schools. In addition, police planned
checkup on all establishments
catering to students, even though
located outside the limits pre-
scribed by the statute, in order to

The investigation was launched
following revelations that two IT,
year-old girl students were engaged
in selling liquor to classmates at
the high school. Questioned by
members of the district attorney S
staff, the girls readily admitted
they had sold whisky obtained
from a nearby lunchroom.
Mrs. May Wright and Mrs. Dor

were to come up III police court

FARLEY WATTS
RESPONSE: Of
AIR CONCERNS

WASHINGTON, March 90 U.P)-
The reaction of private airlines was
awaited today to Postmaster Gen
eral James A. Farley's announce
ment that bids would be let shortly
to restore airmail service to COM
mercial operators.
The drastic conditions of the or
der provided for reorganization of
the lines if they are to regain the
airmail. There was considerable
speculation as to what attitude the
lines would take toward the latest
move in the bitter controversy.
Farley made clear that the bids
which are being granted on tenn
porary basis would be let only to
concerns which comply with provis-
ions of the law regarding colluSive
bidding. He interpreted this to
mean that lines participating in the
1880 "spoils conference must re-
organize and eliminate in certain
cases, their representatives at that
meeting.
1t was considered possible this
might prove a stumbling block to
return of the mails to private hands.
Private operators have contended
consistently that their actions were
not in violation of the law
On the other hand it is generally
conceded that the private lines can
not operate at a profit without the
airmail payments.
