UP)-Coaches and graduate mana
gers who attended the three day
meeting of the Pacific Coast con-
ference were homeward bound to-

them was Babe Hollingberry of

Hollingbery found time from de-
bates over sehedule-making, radio
broadcasting and the other issues
that came before the conference
to sign a new three-year contract
as coach of the Cougars football

ward for tutoring a team that
didn't lose a conference game this
season.
Mapping of schedules was the
final order of business before the

NEW YORK. Dec. - UP)-Base-
balls big questions - whether
Boston Braves field will 60 to the
dogs and probable fate of Babe
Ruth remain unanswered after
the first day of the major league
meetings. The best magnates could
give reporters was;
No news"
The moguls presumed when they
emerged from six hours of seclu-
sion yesterday that everyone knew
Ford c. Frick had been moved Of
ficially into office as president of
the National League, and that
other such anticipated routine had
been dispensed with.
The question of Judge Emil
Fuchs rights to race dogs in his
ball park at Boston probably will
not come up at all. The judge has
decided to drop the question. ac-
cording to the information. This
virtually makes it unanimous. Prick
and Judge Kennesaw Mountain
Lands had dropped it before it
reached them, with the statement
that dog racing and baseball would
not mix.
Babe Ruth's status remained un-
changed and he still is simply a
vacationist abroad. But at any
moment, according to the word
going around, an unidentified club
will seek his services as manager.
The annual all-star inter-league
game was voted to Cleveland. It
probably will be played July 8. The
expected tightening up on post
season transforming was passed by
with a resolution that the mana
gers should exercise care against
players receiving injuries.
The big player deals predicted
for weeks simmered down TO an
announcement from Bill Terry,
manager of the New York Giants,
that he had parted with Jack SAL
veson, a second string pitcher, for
the veteran. Leon Chagnon. relief
worker Of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

NPpyright, 1884, by United Press
In the summer of 1881, baby
Charles Lindbergh was the guest"
of his grandparents, Senator and
Mrs. Dwight w. Morrow, at their
home in North Haven, Me, and
was directly in care of Nursemaid
Betty Cow, a personable Scottish
girl who had come well-recom-
mended to the Lindberghs.
Romance, during the long sum-
mer evenings in the pleasant Maine
seaport, came to Betty in the per-
son of red-haired Norwegian
named Henry Johnson, a paid sea-
man aboard Thomas w. Lamont S
yacht, the Mahala. The maid and
the seaman walked the little island
together and danced together, and
pledged a continuation of the
friendship when they should re-
turn, with their respective employ
ers, to New York and New Jersey.
Winter found Betty comfortably
placed, for the most part, at the
Morrow mansion in Englewood. Red
Johnson, out of a job since the
yacht had been taken out of the
water, found plenty of time to
dance attendance upon the nurse
maid, and was a welcome and IA
yored visitor in the below stairs
group at the Morrows.
When Betty Cow was summoned,
shortly before noon on March l.,
from Englewood to Hopewell, be-
cause of Mrs. Lindbergh's sudden
change of plans, one of her first
thoughts had been to telephone to
Red johnson and break an egage-
ment for that evening. Johnson
was not at his boarding house. and
she left word for him to call her
later, at HopeWell
Called Lindbergh Home
The call came through, during the
evening, and was duly recorded on
the books of the telephone COM
pany. Beyond informing Red that
the baby had cold, its substance
was purely the light chit-chat of
two persons who were fond of each
other, Betty told the police.
And where is your friend noW?"
she was asked.
Il don't know, but you might try
his brothers home, in East Hart
ford" she suggested.
Post haste, the police communi-
Gated with the Connecticut auth
critics. They found, as Betty had

down his every friendship, elimin-
ated each of his associates and,
with some reluctance, finally ar
rived at the only possible conclu-
sion, that he was wholly innocent
of any connection with the crime,
knowingly or otherwise.
In punishment for having afford
ed them so much trouble, the red
headed youth was turned over to
immipration authorities, for depor-
tation. Far from discouraging the
young man, the episode left him
ginning, in his engaging manner,
ana promising to return to Amer
lea, legitimately the next time.
Detroit Clue Falls
For a moment there was furry
of interest in Betty, when the de-
tectives learned she had once work
ed in Detroit An effort to tie her
name to that of "Scotty" Cow,
Michigan gangster, fell of its own
weight when the police established
there was no relationship, and that
her chief interest had been one
William Coots, to whom she was re-
ported to have been engaged.
And while this inquisition was
proceeding, a new scene in the dra-
ma was unfolding in the Bronx,
where an emotional old gentleman
had just received an amazing letter
from the man who proclaimed him
self the kidnaper of the Lindbergh
baby.

meant never" but now it denotes
very rarely" Wares Passing Eng
lish of the Victorian Era" says that
it's origin is absolutely lost in mystery
but it is probably an anglicism Of
a word or words with which neither
"blue'' nor moon" has anything to
do. The United States weather bu-
real also has been unable to &C
count for the phrase. Doctor Brew
er, compiler Of the Dictionary Of

PLANTATION of the phrase: "On
December 10, 1883, we had a blue
moon. The winter was unusually
mild" Again in December, 1927,
at the time OF an eclipse Of the
moon, some observers in Belfast,
Ireland, were reported to have seen
a blue tinge in the moons appear
ance. Moons Of unusual colors, such
as green and blue, have been noted
after violent volcanic explosions or
through smoke-laden fogs.

land fishing grounds which were already well known.
Touching the eastern coast of that great island he
sailed northward the Straits of Belle ISLE through
which he passed to discover the mainland Of Can
ada; which he claimed for France, although he be-
lieved it to be part of Asia
The next year he explored the St. Lawrence as far
as the Indian village of Hochelaga, near the pres
ent site Of Montreal. After many hardships and
with his crew weakened with scurvy disease then
unknown in Europe, he returned to France in May
1885, and the idea Of colonizing the land was
temporarily abandoned
In 1541, however, Cartier returned to Canada with
five ships and established settlement and fort call
ed Charlesbourg near the present site of Quebec
But the Indians, whose chief he had carried away
in his former voyage harassed the colonsts much
that he abandoned the place and took them back to
France the next year. Whether he returned to
Canada again is not definitely known, and the date
of his death Is uncertain.
While Cartier did not found a permanent colony
his explorations blazed the way for the building of
great domination-but under another flag.
