CEHRIG LEADS AMERICAN LOOP
 EATERS IN '34
Columbia Lou Ora C k $ Out .3o3 Hitting Av-
 craze for Year

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-"Columbia Lou Gehrig added another major league baseball record to his long and enviable list today, when it was announced by American League statisticians here that the New York Yankee first-baseman led the junior loop in batting for the 1884 season.
 Gehrig's season batting percent age was 1863. Some seven percent age points behind the big, curly headed New Yorker was Charley Gehringer, Detroit's slugglng second baseman. Gehringer, one of De- troit's stars in that teams vain bid for World Series title, batted .356. The official figures then showed that Heinie Manush, Wash ington's third-sacker, was third with a figure of .349.
 Gehrig's batting record for 1934 was but one more major league baseball mark which the big fellow can claim. He is holder of the ma jor loop record for service in consecutive games at 150l. He also holds the home run title for 1894 with a 49-total. However. this year was Gehrig's first as batting cham picn.

Two Schools to Mix in An. nual Rose Bowl Tilt on
 New Years Day

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal. Dec. 4.-Stanford University and the University of Alabama footbal teams will be the participants ir the annual Rose Bowl East-West grid classic in Pasadena, Cal, New Years Day.
 This was a fact yesterday with the selection and acceptance of Alabama as Stanfords opponent The Palo Alto school had been selected last Tuesday as the West choice by Hugh Willetts, Pacific Coast Football Conference Presi- dent.
 The choosing of Alabama was broadly hinted Tuesday at the same time that Stanford was nam ed, but no official pronouncelnent was made until Alabama's final scheduled game Thursday wit n Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt lost, to 34. so Alabama got the vote.
 The Southern Conference school is reported to have the strongest Iteam in it's history, and football fans were alike today in the opin- ion that Alabama would make a worthy foe for Stanford. Southern Confernce teams, in the past, have made favorable records in Rose Bowl games.
 Stanford on Nov. 24, complet- ed highly successful Pacific Coast campaign by beating Cali fornia. The Indians also hold vic- tories over U. c. L. A., U. s. G., Oregon State and Washington. The only mar on Coach Tiny Thorn hills machine this year was an early 7-7 tie with Santa Clara University.

True, their high school quintet did take a beating from the White Pass A. c. of Skagway in an ex- hibition, but nevertheless, the Douglas basketball fans went home happy last night. For their Fire men team in the City Basketball League, after two straight losses finally crashed the win column, de- feating Moose, 48 to 19.
 In the nightcap exhibition, the tall, smooth working visitors smoth- cred Coach Martin Peterson's game, but clearly outclaSsed, Doug l. las prepsters, fl to g.
 Incidentally, those selfsame White Pass lads will exhibit their maple floor prowess at o'clock tonight in the first game of an all-star tripleheader in Juneau High School gymnasium. Here for weeks stay, the Skagway team, which need make no apologies for it's excellent showing last night, plays Coach Harold Regele's Ju n e u High School club tonight. Then, tomorrow night, the visitors play the Douglas town team at Doug las. Finally, on Thursday night, they will be featured in another exhibition at Juneau High, prob ably against an all-star team.
 But to get back to that Doug las Fireman victory-it was every thing the local townsfolk had been waiting for. Up against the two teams now tied for the league lead, the Douglas lads had dropped their first games and were in the cellar. But today, thanks to much improvement, they are in fifth place.
 Team work, clever passing and accurate shooting were the reasons for the Fire Eaters win. What the winners did have, the losers lacked. The Moose never were in the ball game, due to desire on that teams part to play individual ball, rather than pass to teammates.
 High point honors went to Rex Fox, who garnered Is points by playing ''man-in-the-h hole" and to Gordon Gray, who managed to collect 13 markers. Tuano and John Niemi were defensive stars. Joe Snow with ' points. was the best Moose. In the final tilt, Warren Griffith (who is a Presbyterian minister at Skagway when not playing bang-up game of basket balD, Gordon and Alec Blanchard and Walt Sippren led the White Pass team to an easy win. Gordon Blanchard, at center, especially caught the fans favor. Capt. Cor don Mills was the best prepster.

Red Scare Used to Fight
Public Ownership

WASHINGTON = (FP) = Power
trust opposition to public ownership is
the subject of a special section OF the
Federal Trade Commissions report on
electric and gas utilities made public
Dec TO- 1t tells how the utilities have
raised the red scare against this form
of ownership; have misrepresented mu-
nicipal plants and public projects like
Muscle Shoals, Boulder Dam and the
Ontario hydro-electric plant; and have
hired even labor officials TO fight for
their right to make profit at the pub
lies expense.
The report quotes State Senator
Herbert c. Jones as testifying that in
one California campaign to defeat a
power measure a labor leader was
given $4,000 to work in opposition to
it without being required to make an
accounting, and another was paid
$1,000. In the first California cam
paign, in 1922, utility expenditures were
more than $500,0O0.
B. J. Mullaney, vice president of the
Peoples Gas Light & Coke Co., Chi

Along came the NRA and cut the So

can afford a moderately full' life, ac-

Wallace. I'VE may assume that on
the average an income of $500 per
year would be needed to enable a
family to live a moderately full life
under American conditions, he said,

Of English Teachers.
And yet, even in the boom year,

The Washington Scene
By Len De Caux

WASHINGTON ~ (FP) - A few
straws in the Washington wind:
Workers are queer fellows, William
H. Davis, special NRA adviser on com
pliance, evidently thinks. IT might be
expected" he says in report on en-
forcement Of code provisions. "that the
support Of the code labor provisions by
employees would be universal; that an
employe would invariably refuse to ac-
cept less than code wages or to work
more than code hours In fact this ex-
pectation has not been fulfilled. The
principal reason has been the employees S
fear Of losing his job.
incidentally Davis report ought to
please the National Association OF
Manufacturers, which is seeking sep
aration of labor legislation from indus
trial measures dealing with fair trade
practices in legislation to replace the
National Recovery Act Davis rec
ommends separation of enforcement OF
labor provisions from that dealing with
trade practices, leaving the latter to
business itself through its code au-
thorities.
The A. F. OF L. is demanding the 30
hour week. Big-businessers in the
NRA are working up a counter-move-
ment for a uniform 40-hour week.
How much effect enforcement Of a
4O-hour week would have on return
ing the millions now jobless to work
may be gagged from government fig
ures showing the average number OF
hours actually worked in 23 major in
dustries. Only five average more than
40 hours (and these only by fraction
of an hour) The rest average from
24o hours a week in silk manufacturing
to 37.9 in leather tanning and finish
ing.
Hunters are warned by Director
Robert Fechner of the CCC camps not
to go around shooting CCC boys. War
hasn't been declared yet, so there is no
"open season" for that sort of stuff,
"State game and conservation officials
in all the states are cooperating with
CCC authorities "in the protection of
CCC enrollees during the hunting sea-
son." says a statement from Fechner's
office.
But there aren't any international
game and conservation officials who
will protect them, when the war
hunters open season begins. So the
boys had better get ready to look out
for themselves, even if it means read
ing some books forbidden in CCC
camps.
Donald R. Richberg, temporarily
rated as second man in the admins
tration, is responding gallantly to en-
ployers' unselfish fears about the
workers coercing each other into bet
ter conditions. In his recent Boston
speech he spoke Of varying degrees Of
organizing pressure" being "exerted
against wage earners, from the more
or less gentle persuasion by organizing
committees of respectable unions
down to downright racketeering.
He even obliged the employers with
quite an original "red scare" 1T is
easy to anticipate" Richberg said,
that revolutionary political organi-
zation might undertake to organize
labor by similar terroristic methods
and might actually mobilize an army
for direct action under the convenient
protection Of the right of labor to or
ganize free from restraint or coercion
by employers"
