Canada's High
 Gold Production

Canada's gold production last year of more than $63, ,00O, 900 was not only the second largest but also represented probably the highest per cap- ita production that any nation has ever achieved. On the basis of 10,376,000 population shown by the last census, the $63,000,000 gold output repre- sented a per capita production of more than six dollars-new dIollars-for every Individual in the Dominion.
 To achieve a similar per capita production, the United State. would have to produce almost three-quarters of a bill lion dollars. In other words, almost as much as the whole world produced last year from all sources.
 This year Canada promises to produce no less than ESQ., OOO,000 in new gold, according to reliable calculations.

Keeping Up With
 The Brain Trust

Not being one of those high brow editors with a 100 horse power think-tank, we some times get kind of flustered try ing to keep track of all the new fangled schemes the govern springs on us in its efforts to bring the nation out of the de- pression.
 About every other day, it seems like, we are handed some new economic or finan- cial plan or policy that is like unto nothing we ever heard of before, although we have read lot on such subjects since we said goodbye to the old homestead and took up the job of telling the world how things happened.
 Trying to keep track of all the new government activities like price reflation, dollar de- flation, currency imitation, hog decimation, industrial control, farm relief, crop curtailment, silver imitation, home loans and the dozens of initiaLdesignatel doings like the REC, NRA. ECW, and CWA, sometimes gives us such a brainstorm that all we can think of finally i. DAM-which is not a govern ment affair at all, although the Republican leaders and big bankers and Al. Smith seem tC think it ought to apply to mos all the Democratic policies.
 1t looks to us that an editor who is able to keep track o. and understand all the new government schemes must be combination of statesman, fin ancier, economist, industrialist farmer, politician and mathe matical wizard and possess double-barreled memory be sides; which may explain wh, some of the high-brow editor who are supposed to kno, most everything, have so littl to say nowadays about tn governments policies, an what should be done to restor prosperity. They used to hay a remedy for every public l as fast as it appeared.
 It all goes to show that wit a whole flock of brain-truste1 back in Washington hatchin out new schemes faster than

The Thomas club, composed in

pretty much of a disappointment

to lack of condition, which has pre-

POLO MAN PLAYS
SLASHINC GAME
Elmer BOeske, 6 Feet Az
Inches Tall, Performed
Since BOyhOd
BY LEICESTER WAGNER

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Los Angeles (UP)-That ancient
legendary figure, the Centaur, has
it's modern counterpart in Elmer
Boeseke, the giant Californian,
who has at last reached the apex
of his career as a polo player.
Boeseke, who recently was ele-
waited, with Cecil Smith of Texas,
to the rank of a 10-goal player,
can't remember when he wasn't
knocking polo ball around field.
A native of Santa Barbara,
Boescke was playing slashing
years old. He was big for his age.
To-day he is feet An inches tall
and weighs 1870 pounds.
Elmer played on a team made
UP exclusively of Boesekes-his
father, DIR E. ]. Boeseke; and his
uncles, b. c. and E. G. Boeseke.
He first came into prominence be-
fore the 1924 Olympic Games in
which he competed as member of
the American polo team. At that
time he was rated at six goals. Ar
gentina won the Olympic title that
year, defeating America by one
goal-a goal scored while Boeseke
VISA driving a broken ball off the
field at the referees order.
Boeseke Is one of the most dar-
ing riders in the game to-day. He
takes his falls and blows with
regularity and comes up smiling.
The writer recalls q game in which
the 12-year-old Elmer had his
scalp laid neatly open by flying
mallet. The game was halted just
long enough for the lads father
to take a few stitches. Then Ell
mer resumed play.
Last year when the western
squad unceremoniously thumped
the East in an intersectional game
in Chicago, Boeseke played with a
fractured bone in his left foot and
govt in the right. The doctors
suggested an opiate would ease the
pain, but Elmer ruled It out. With
no sense of feeling in his foot, Ell
mer couldn't keep 1t in the stirrup.
Boeseke claimed that western VIC
tory was a triumph for American
thoroughbreds over the eastern
imported mounts from Argentina.
Boeseke Is democratic and we'll
liked. He has heavy eyebrows and
winning smile. His huge build
fairly dwarfs the ponies he rides.
Although offered commission in
the artillery, he came out Of the
service first lieutenant.
Elmer is not wealthy. In fact, he
owns few Of his own mounts. For
years ne has trained and ridden
horses raised by Captain McKit-
trick in the Santa Ynez Valley Of
California.
One of his ponies came off the
Tijuana race track. 1t Is called
Red Ace. Red Ace played big
part in the Vests victory last
year, and since then Elmer has re-
fused $4,000. for it.
Boeseke treats his ponies like
close friends. If the chukker
closes with Boeseke at the far end
Of the field he will dismount and
walk hte pony to the hitching
hacks.
Elmer has an athletic back
ground additional to polo. His
father at one time was the sprint
champion of the West, running the
100-yard dash in 10 seconds fiat.
His uncle, Edgar, was an all
around track and field star at Bos-
ton Tech in 1900.
Boeseke lives for polo but as a
bushes she runs few oil wells
and sells real estate.

at Madison Square Garden.
When the tape snaps at the fin-
ish of the Baxter mile, feature
event Of the New York A. C. games
to the roar of more than $4,000
frenzied fans. The current stan
dard of four minutes 10 seconds is
expected to be clipped off like a
husbands rejoinder. It's the first
meeting Of Americas two fastest
outdoor milers.
Full House
Never before has there been
such interest in an indoor mile
race. Anticipating an epoch strug-
gle between these two Iron men,"
Cunningham of Kansas and Mon
thron of Princeton, fans stormeG
the ticket booths and the huge
Garden Arena was sold out week
ago.
The rest of the winged foot pro-
Gram is studded with thrilling
competitions and champion per-
formers, but the Baxter mile has
thrust all other events into the
background.
Even the three other famous
runenrs in the mile are receiving
scant attention. Gene Venzke of
Pennsylvania, holder of the in
door mark of 4:10, is given little
stretch sprints of the Kansas
flyer and the Princeton express.
Glen Dawson of Tulso, Okla, ma
tional 1,O00-meter champion, and
Frank Crowley Of Manhattan col
lege, intercollegiate indoor mile
champion, are given no chance.
Cunningham and Bonthron are
ready for the gun, both in excel
lent condition. Cunningham told
the United Press last night, "I've
been riding on the train five days
of the past week, and have q
slight cold, but I'm ready for the
race"
Bonthron said, "I'm in the best
condition in my career. I've been
working out ever yday on the out
door track. 1 feel fine"
The two college youths who took
up running to develop legs badly
burned in boyhood accidents are
the fastest outdoor milers In
American. history. Bonthron turned
in 4:O8.7 last summer when he
forced Jack Lovelock of New Zea-
land to a new world record of
4:07.6. Cunningham's best mark
is 1908. But, Cunningham has the
advantage of experience. This Will
be Bonthron's first indoor mile,
and his fourth competitive mile
since entering college. The rugged
Kansan has beaten 4:20 dozens OF
times.
Because of his experience and
competitive seasoning, Cunning
ham is the favorite, but only
slight favorite.
And Besides
Records also may fall in other
competitions, for example the two
field events. George Spitz of N. Y.
u, holder of the indoor high
Jump record, encounters Walter
Marty of Fresno State college:
Calf, outdoor titleholder, and

From YLeagneS

All quiet in IA" league. There
were no games in this league IN
the last week. The Central ~"
Jrs-H-Y game was postponed until
today.
The biggest upset Of the season
occurred in "B" league last Wed
nesday when the Alerts took the
Comites.
The Jrs will be the first round
champions If they defeat the H1-I
this afternoon. Wish them luck.
. The Alerts, by virtue of their win
over the COmites, cinched the top
position i'm the minor league.
DAILY stood out for the Comites
when they lost the playoff. He
scored all the points made by the
Comites in the first half.
The Hill Jrs are to be watched
in the second round. They arc
coming along fast and should be
right in the fight the next round.
The Comites to take the second
round in spite of their bad start.
"Rcd" Lyons has been Off his
feed lately. He can't find the old
eye and the Jrs suffer as a result.
The zone defense of the Comites
has not been working this year. A
little more practice could be used
by your team, Frankie.
Bob Stevens of the Tri-Y has
played a clean game for football
player. Keep it up Bobbie.
Ed Sabis of the Central "Y" Jrs
has scored in every league game.
He's a hard man to stop. The Jrs
| can always depend on him.
Jimmy Harrison OF the COmites
Is returning to the team. He has
been playing with the Crosby Re-
serves. He may furnish the need
ed spark for the team.
''Nobby" Walch may play for the
Tri-Y. They certainly could use a
few good players.
MacCarthy of the Comites Is
playing n mediocre game. It's not
ut all up to his usual game.
"Jake" Lawlor of the Hi-Y
should make things hot for the
teams in "a" league. His expert
eice on the Crosby squad should
help him a lot.
