the party take much the same
attitude. Those whose money
was sent into Maine feel that it
was wasted. Instead Of improv-
ing the party's position over that
in which it found itself after
the 1882 disaster, the money was
spent and the position is worse.
1t is easy for a winning poll
tician to appeal for and to get
funds. It is almost impossible
for loser to get penny.
Heavy Spending Needed
\ And the approaching congress
sional elections are going to re-
quire plenty of spending on the
part Of Republican candidates if
they are to get anywhere.
The occasional reverses which
the New Dealers have suffered in
party primaries were being hailed
with glee by the Republicans
who have been trying to fill the
party war chest. Errors of judg'
ment on the part of Postmaster
General Farley in picking the
wrong horses in several Demo
cratic State fights aided them.
Each defeat of a Farley-picked
candidate was mama to Repub-
lcans.
But when the final test came
as between the two parties in
Maine the Farley mistakes faded
into insignificance. Even the
nomination of Upton Sinclair in
California has become a much
less formidable weapon in the
hands Of the Republican money
eatherers since the Maine deba-
Gle of their party.
Even before their defeat in
Maine, however, those who have
been trying to raise money for
feeding the elephant had con-
siderable worry.
League Is New Worry
The formation of the Amer
lean Liberty League has caused
and is causing considerable con-
Germ among the Republicans. It
is pointed out that the league is
backed by men of wealth and
standing. It is led by Jouett
Shouse who, in addition to being
able to put things over on big
scale, also has considerable rep
utation as a finder of money for
his campaigns.
The Republicans in general
liked the formation Of the league
from the standpoint Of its enmity
to the New Deal. But when the
league got around to the serious
htask Of raising money in order
to make that enmity effective,
the financiers of the Republican
party discovered that contribu-
lions which ordinarily would be
made to the party would be di-
verted to the Golfers Of Mr..
Shouse.
The defeat in Maine is likely
to accentuate this inclination on
the part of party angels to de.
fleet their political funds to the
new league, giving that organiza-
ton a chance to prove whether
or not it is a better medium for
opposing the New Deal than is
the Republican party.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Tennis

on Ellsworth Vines, the former
amateur king, who recently turned
pro to join Bill Tilden's troupe.
Vines looked good yesterday
when he hoped off a train and
split two sets with Bruce Barnes,

At a dinner last night, Tilden
reiterated that he would have
signed Bunny Austin and Fred
Perry, English aces, as pros if
they had not won the Davis

he had discussed a pro career
with Cliff Sutter, who rejected it
and George Lott, who denied he
had ever spoken to Bill on the

OUTLOOK GOOD
FOR COLONIES

Not even an inkling can be had
from the business office of the
Louisville club as to what the
plans are for putting the club
back on its feet financially in
1884, and lifting it out Of the
receivership. into which it went
before the season started last
year. Bill Neal, vice president
and business manager, says he
hopes to see negotiations COM
pleted in Z. month or less that will
clear up the situation, but that
developments had been retarded
by the fact that Tom Barker, the
clubs attorney and also its re-
ceiver, had been i'll for about two
weeks with influenza.
Neal said he felt that the 1884
outlook was the best in several
years. He .ointed out that re-
ports Shov people are going back
t" work and spending money. Cap
also expressed himself as hopeful
for baseball because football at
tendance increased the past fall
and because racing receipts are
increasing.
A report recently made by Re-
ceiver Barker on the 1888 opera
tions Of the Louisville club. shows
that it finished with a profit Of
around $4,000. This was made
possible through the sale Of
Pitcher Johnny Marcum to the
PHILADELPHIA Athlet' 5.

Harry is a product of the Wash
ington-Lee High School of Ball,
ston, Va. He played three years
Of football and two each of base
ball and basketball at the Virginia
institution.
Smallest Player
He was the smallest player on
the 1928 football team, weighing
less than 100 pounds, but the next
year he began putting on weight
and soon was right husky for a
high school player. Now he tips
the beam at 183 and stands 5
feet IL.
Being natural football player,
Chase quickly distinguished him
self as an all-around end, being
able to grab passes with uncanny
accuracy out of the sky, and to
not only smother interference, but
make the tackle.
In 1929 his playing was mainly
responsible for the Little Generals
capturing the Virginia state class
B championship. A year later
under Coach o. L. Driver, Harry
played defensive end and often
sive halfback, and that year w
and L. lost only one game. Fred

Was Sports Editor
He was not only an excellent
athlete but was an A-number !
student while attending the Vir-
ginia school. He was sports editor
Of the Blue and Gray, the publica-
ton published by the senior class
every year.
Chase starred on, the basketball
team for two years. He captained
it in 1881 and was considered an
outstanding performer.
AS a catcher on the baseball
team he made quite a name for
himself. He, was a good hitter
and he handled the pitchers
with the grace of a big Lacquer. "

sity in the fall Of 1891 and Inn
