Matros Kirilenko, the Russian
leopard-man heavyweight mat
gladiator, last night sought revenge
in the Armory ring here, and got it
on paper but scarcely in fact.
Rematched with Dick Raines, who
toppled him here two weeks ago,
Kirilenko copied last nights de-
cision in the Hercules A. c. main
go on Raines' disqualification for
smuggling. But the Russians vic
tory was soured by the beating adj
ministered by the former Texas
cowboy and movie sumter.
MatroS was the peoples choice
and there were fifteen hundred of
them around to chooSe-from the
minute he stepped into the ring,

that a great player becomes a great
player through work, and that
when a great play is made it can
be traced back to the work that
went into the mastering of the
fundamentals.
The Giants will come back to the
Polo Grounds as we'll trained and
we'll drilled as any team that ever
represented the metropolis. If it
fails to repeat, the burden of proof
will be on the men themselves, not
the way they were conditioned for
the 1884 race. There need never
be any fears that Mr.. Terry does
not know how to get a ball club
ready.

"A TIAN1I, March Il. - Mr.. Bill
w Terry stood on the first base
coaching line at Flamingo Park and
barked: Shake it up out there, you
guys"
Adolfo Luque, ageless Cuban
pitcher, who famed the last hitter
in the world series to make the
Giants the champions Of baseball,
was hitting to the infield, and
VergeZ, Critz and Jackson were
whipping the ball around.
Yep, shake him up out there, you
guys parroted the Cuban as a
tropical sun beat down on his sweat
drenched face.
The Giants were holding a labOra-
tory session and this infield work,
designed to develop dizziness, speed
and sure handedness. was one of the
details that go into the making Of a
championship ball club.
If you tarry around long enough
you can see the stiffness and I'M
certainty fall away from the time
rusty legs and arms of the players;
you can see the old snoothnesS and
elasticity return; you can under
stand the value and necessity of
spring training.
Through it all Mr. Terry watches
every move with a trained, StudiouS
eye. Nothing escapes him. If there
is not enough snap to the play
around second base it is tried again
at his command. Does an inflelder
come in too fast, or start too slow,
he is told about it and the exercise
is repeated.
IF John McGraw was a stickler
i for detail in training his youth
full successor is cut from the same
kidney. 1t may be that he is a
greater stickler than McGraw was.
He is executive by nature and with
him organized efficiency in every
thing is something of a fetish.
His theory is that nothing hap
pens by chance in a ball game,

Clark is the young man who came
to the Giants by trade from Brook
lyn, but was of no service last year
because of an assortment of all
ments. This year he seems to be
all right again. Yesterday he
warmed up for an hour with no dis
couraging effects. To Mr.. Terry he
looked as good as ever.

The American people hear a
great deal about the cost of
their Federal Cover n t.
They do not hear nearly enough
about the cost of State and local
governments. The latter sub
ject is one which their State
and local politicians, and the
Senators and Representatives
whom they help to nominate
and elect to Congress, are re-
luctant to talk about for publ
cation.
Is Up To States
This reluctance is due to the
realization of these politicians
that when the American people
finally get the truth about the
high cost of State and local
governments in this country to-
day, they will do something
drastic about it. They will be-
gin by electing governors and
legislators in the several States

State in the Union and in every
county, city, town, village, bor-

and other civil division.
This is a good year for the
people to organize for the over
throw of this obsolete system of
government that was born in
the days of the OK cart and has
grown to be a giant curse in the
days of the automobile.
This is a good year, because

every candidate for governor,
every candidate for the State
legislature can be compelled to
tell the voters this year what
he thinks about the high cost
of State and local government
and what he pledges himself to
do to reduce it in case he is
elected. The job of reorganiZa-
ton and reduction is primarily
a job for the governors and the

Tax Money, Survey Shows
By James T. Williams, Jr.

Why the high cost of govern
ment so harasses the American
people today is in part explained
by the results of a survey Of
State and local government re-
Gently completed by the Federal
Bureau of the Census.
This survey covers the opera
tionS of the following govern

fiscal year 1931-1932:
Forty-eight State governments.
Three thousand and sixty-two
counties.
Sixteen thousand six hundred

One hundred and twenty.
eight thousand, five hundred
and forty-eight school districts.
Nineteen thousand seven hun
dred and sixty-nine townships.
Fourteen thousand, five hun
dred and seventy-three minor
civil divisions of government in
the several States.
For the support of these 1872.
$50 UNITS of State and local gov

AS the population Of conti-

124,511,000, the average ex-
penditure on State and local gov

by this Federal survey amounted
to $1,000 per person.

The Human Side of the News
Sir Harry Lauder Bares His Heart-Harpo Marx
Bu EdDin e.. Hill
Bu EdUin &. Hill

The flax mills and the coal
mines of old Scotia were the
university of the kindly, genial
soul who again appears in the
news. He contemplates, we
hear, a tenth farewell tour of
the United States-and very
welcome he would be-Sir Harry
Lauder.
At 20 he made the best invest
ment of his life. He spent seven
shillings and sixpence for a
license to marry bonnie Annie
Valance. Annie played the
piano while Harry sang his
songs and made his hearty
jokes. Long and hard was the
ten years struggle before the
big chance came in the music
halls of London. Success was
instantaneous, and New York
outdid London in it's approval.
Good For Trade
Lauder has the gift of show
manship. Endless and diverting
are the stories about his ultra
thriftiness. Closer than an echo
they call him. He doesn't mind.
He takes the jokes and the digs
the way Henry Ford took all
those quips about the Model. T.
They were good for trade.
IT hope I am generous" Sir
Harry says. I'm not closefisted,
but I encourage stories about
my being so. I even invent
them myself. They are fine
advertising"
He has made 20 tours Of the
United States under the man
agement of William Morris, and
with never a written contract
between them-just a verbal
bargain and a handshake. The
war cast its shadow over the
lives of Sir Harry and Lady
Lauder. Their only son met
death in the hailstorm of bull
lets that swept over the battle
field of the Somme. Harry
worked indefatigably for the
welfare of the soldiers. He es-
tablished the Million Pound
Fund for wounded Scots.
His King bestowed knight
hood upon him. Harry cared
little himself, but it was nice,
he said, for Annie Lauder to be
Lady Lauder. For 81 years,
until her death five years ago,
she was. at his side, up and
down the world, in good times
and bad. She was the one he
sang to with his "I love a
lassie, a, bonnie, bonnie lassie;
she's as sweet as the heather
in the dell" ~.
It was after her death that
he barred his heart in a letter
to his friend, Hugh McIver:
'''Hughie, old friend, I'm
thinking that fate has not been
very kind to me of late. First,
there was the taking of John
ny, my son, who was killed
in the war: and though the
manner of his taking left us
with the pride Of knowing that
