DODGE REPORTS
LARGEST SALES
IN EIGHT YEARS
Total of 1884 Vehicles Dis
posed Of in First
Week of April.
By Tim es Special

By Times Special
DETROIT, April 25.-Dodge deal
ers' retail sales Of passenger cars
and trucks for the week ending
April set a new high mark, &C.
cording to report just issued by
A. VanDerZee, general sales man
ager of Dodge Brothers Corpora
ton.
During the six-day period, Dodge
dealers delivered 3,474 Dodge pas
senger cars, 2,793 Plymouths, and
LIT Dodge commercial cars and
trucks-a total Of 1884 vehicles.
According to Mr.. VanDerZee this
latest delivery figure, topping the
business of the preceding week by
100 per cent, is the highest recorded
since July 81, 1896; it also marks the
twelfth consecutive week during
which 1884 sales by Dodge dealers
have increased progressively from
week to week, as well as exceeded
sales during corresponding periods
of 1888.
Retail deliveries by Dodge dealers
since Jan. l amounted to 24,281
Dodge passenger cars, 20,163 Plym-
ouths and 1886 Dodge trucks
making a total, for the first four
teen weeks Of the year, of 5000 de-
liveries, as against 21,5O1 deliveries
made within the like fourteen weeks
of 1888, an increase of 1862 per
cent.
One statement in Mr.. VanDerZee's
latest weekly sales analysis is of
interest. 1t is to the effect that, as
far as Dodge is concerned, recent
price adjustments appear to have
induced no noticeably untoward con-
sequences on sales.

BUSINESS LEADERS
TO AID RECOVERY
Joint Manufacturers and
Chamber of Commerce
i Meeting Is Announced.

Determined to outline q program
which will be specific and positive.
100 leaders of American business and
industry, invited by the National As
sociation of Manufacturers and the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
will meet at White Sulphur Springs
next Monday to formulate recon-
mendations for an economic course
aimed at recovery.
Called jointly by Robert L. Lund
and Silas H. Strawn, chairmen Of
special committees Of the two Or
ganizations, the meeting will serve
to consolidate, for the first time, the
recovery efforts of these two major
units and independent interests of
business and industry.
In the phrasing of their invitation
the joint committee indicates the
seriousness Of its intention to formu-
late definite and practical program.
Leaders of commerce, industry, finance
and agriculture have been appealed
to in the committee plea for a rep
resentative gathering.
When drafted, the program will
be submitted to administration lead
ers, with the promise of cooperation
from business and industry in car
rying it out. Oficials of the two
groups were emphatic today in de-
claring that the program will be a
constructive one, not one of criticism
or condemnation of past administra-
ton actions.
The chamber lists the following re-
lief proposals as those most promi-
nently mentioned: Continuation of
direct relief payments, self-help, or
work relief payments; enlarged pub
lie works expenditures; housing pro-
grams; further reduction of hours;
unemployment insurance.

There has been better balance
and greater distribution OF power
in the National League, although
the New York Giants have won
the pennant more often than any
other National League club since
1920. The Giants established a
baseball record by winning four
consecutive pennants from 1921
to 1924 inclusive. In 1921 ana
% they beat the Yankees in the
world series. The Yanks beat the
Giants in '23 and the GriffS took
them over in 1924.
West Rules Eight Years
The West ruled the National
League from 1925 to 1882 with
the st. Louis Cardinals coping
the flag four times and winning
the series twice. Pittsburgh won
the pennant twice and the series
once. The Cubs were the other
National League champions 81
Louis won in 1926, 1923. 1880
and 1881. They won the series IN
'26 and 81. Pittsburgh won the
remnant in 1925 and crowned that
With a series victory, but it was
walloped four straight by the
Yanks in '27.
The Cubs won the pennant in
1929, losing to the AS IN inc
series and after winning the pen
nant in 80 bowed to the Yankees.
Ioe Mccarthy managed the Cubs
u, 90 and the Yanks in 80.
There is nothing in all baseball
history that could be as good TOR
baseball as for the Tigers to win
this pennant. Detroit is pennant
hungry and baseball crazy. Fans
of the Motor City have waited
for these joy-jammed hours since
1909. when the Pirates, with Babe
Adams at his best. knocked them
out of the championship, Just as
Mordecai Brown, Pfelster, Ed

turned them back in 1907 and
1908.

Yes, by all means, it must
have a Crick.
The kids, three smaller ones,

line, had wanted a crick IN

get them a crick, why, they
would get too big for cricks,
that's all.
Room to Expand
So, should some of Dick

glance at this recital of do
nestle crisis wherein a 100
acre farm with a crick is very
much demanded by three young
sters and a father, perchance
they can find a purchaser in
Walter johnson (and there
dear readers the suspense is
ended and Formula 12-x-100 has
gotten in it's ticks for today.
No, 10 acres isn't enough of
a farm for the Walter Johnsons,
of Bethesda, Md, with t h e
kindly Mrs. Johnson, Walters
mother, Walters brother and
his brood and the three younger
Johnsons, Barbara and Bobby
and Caroline, who never had
q crick in which to paddle.
You see, the JohnsonS are out
of Kansas, where 10 acres is
only a beet patch or a place to
SOW cowpeaS. This growing
johnson clan, coming originally
from the wide open spaces, must
have room in which to expand
say a plot of ground about as
big as the State of Rhode Is
land.
And when Walter isn't tin
kering around his Cleveland In
dams, talking to a young pitcher
here and a~tellin' an upstart
of an infielder or outfielder
there, how to tone up his game,
he sits and thinks of a 100-acre
farm with corn and oats and
wheat and rye and-a crick for
Baby Barbara, Sister Caroline
and Brother Bobby.

IL ington professional will be re-
getted by the Kenwood Club
and by the men who have watched
him perform over local fairways,
amazed at the accuracy with which he
handles his shots. There isn't much
doubt that as a playing pro he is the
boss of them all around Washington
and in the State of Maryland. He has
proved that too often over the last
four or five years. But the one title
which he wanted badly has escaped
him. This is the match play cham
pionShip Of the Middle Atlantic p.
G. A. He was runner-up this year to
Charlie Betschler of Baltimore.
Generally ranked among the first
80 or 40 pros in the United States,
Houghton has not made the profess
sional circuit, as some Of the pros do.
But he has played in few Of the
larger affairs, notably the Biltmore
open, where he finished in the money

place at the end of the third round
In 1888 he finished in tie for second
place in the Glens Falls open tourney
AS an amateur back in the years
from 1923 to 1929 he failed to win
either the District championship or
the mid Atlantic title, the two major
affairs played around Washington. He
did win several club invitation events,
and went to the semi-final in the
National public links tourney in 1925,
but he never was rated at the top Of
the local simon-pure contingent. As
a professional player, however, he has
been an outstanding success. He will
be missed when he shakes the dust

KENTUCKY DERBY
| PURSE IS BOOSTED
61st Running of Classic on
May 4 Next Will Have
$4,000 Added.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
- HIcAGo, December 2s.-The
added money value for the
~ sixty-first running of the
Kentucky Derby was in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000 and
the date for the classic event at
Churchill Downs was tentatively set
for May 4 by the directors of the
American Turf Association today.
Only approval by the Kentucky
Racing Commission Is needed to make
official the date Of the big event Of
the American turf season. The direc-
tors approved a recommendation by
Col. Matt j. Winn. president Of the
association, that the Kentucky COM
mission be asked for Spring meeting
Of 10 days, from April n to May l8,
for Churchill Downs.
At Col. Winn's suggestion the di-
rectors decided to waive all of the
American Turf Associations claims
against the Kentucky Association, op-
orator of the Lexington race track.
Regarding the Lexington track and
its financial difficulties, Col. Winn
said that inasmuch as Lexington
Is the center of thoroughbred breed
ing, it would be to the advantage of
racing in general If the track were
allowed to operate under local di-
rection without interference or sug-
gestions from outside sources.
In waving its claims the American
Turf Association wrote of about
$220,000. 1t holds $4,000 Of the
common capital stock out Of a. total
of $225.000. In addition, it advanced
the Kentucky Association $39, 900 for
payment Of taxes and operating ex-
penSeS.

Turns Unusual Feat.

"ODAY he holds the Maryland
State open title, crown which
he won in 1882, 1888 and 1884.
No other pro ever had won the tourney
three consecutive times. Houghton's
rise in the national golf field over the
past three years has been rapid. One
Of the straightest hitters with wood
and iron in the United States, he has
qualified several times for the national
open and Professional Golfers As
sociation championships, and this year
went to the quarter-fnal round in the
P. G. A. tourney at Buffalo.
Two years ago he was co-holder
OF the mid-South open championship
at Pinehurst, tying with Henry Picard
and AL Watrous. Time after time the
Kenwood pro has played the local
courses in better than 70 strokes His
existing records include a marvellous
81 at Washington, nine better than
par, and a 63 at Kenwood, eight
strokes under perfect figures. He
was the first man to crack par over
the lengthy Beaver Dam course.
Houghton's main accomplishment in
the field of golf promotion work has
been the putting over of the National
Capital open tourney at Kenwood,
which he has done with the able as
sistance of the officers of the club
and an enthusiastic membership. This
tourney, the Capitals biggest profess
sional golf show, was inaugurated in
1881 and annually has brought to
Washington the leading professional
stars. Harassed with details and more
interested in a successful affair than
in his own game, Houghton never has
finished better than third in the
tourney, a stunt he accomplished in
1888. This year he was far down on
the money list with 224, 16 strokes
behind Bobby Cruickshank. the
winner.
