WESTERN STARS
 READY TO RUN
 IN PENN RELAYS

] Philadelphia, April 1S.-Aivan
 Fuqua and Charles Hornbostel of Indiana, two of the outstanding athletes in the Western Confer ence, will run on three relay teams, in the >fortieth annual University
 of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival. on Franklin field, on Friday and Saturday, April 27 and 28. B. c. Hayes, coach of the Hoosier track team has entered combina- tions in the distance and sprint medley races on Friday afternoon and in the one mile championship race the following day. He has also entered individuals in seven of the field events.
 With Fuqua and Hornbostel as members of the sprint medley team, Indiana is a serious threat to Princeton's hope to repeat it's cham mpionship of last year in this event. The Tigers have three members of last years team avail- able including William Weaver, Warren Rainear and Bill. Bon- thron.
 Inasmuch as both Hornbostel and Bonthron are half milers. as well as milers, they will meet in the final leg of the spring medley race. Should they receive the ba- ton on even terms, one of the clos est races of the two day program should ensue. Bill Patterson, of Columbia is another middle dis tance runner of more than average ability who should make the race interesting for both Bonthron and Hornbostel.
 Leslie Godbold and Marmaduke Hobbs will join Fuqua and Horn- bostel to form Indiana's quartet in the distance medley. Donald Har- pold and Daniel Caldemyer will run along with the two stars in the sprint medley while Wesley Bicking, Fuqua, Hornbostel and Harpold will form the one mile team.
 Other Entries
 In the special events, Indiana will have Wesley Busbee in the javelin throw and shot put. Daniel Caldemyer, in the 110 meter hur- dies and in the high jump; Steve Divich, in the pole vault; Jack Nicely, in the 400 and 110 meter hurdles, and Frank Knickten, in the javelin throw.
 HornbOStePS and Fuqua'S per- formances during the past year are little short of sensational. The first named established a new N. c. A. A. record in the half mile, his time being 1:50.9. He finished sixth in the mile in the same meet. Tn the Western Conference out door championship he won the half mile in 1.54,2 and the mile in 4.21.5. In the A. A. U. outdoor championships he finished second in the half mile to Cunningham.
 Hornbostel holds the Western Conference indoor mile champion ship in 4.16.7 and the half mile title in 1851. In the Olympic games. the Hoosier speedster fin- ished sixth in the 1,500 meter run.
 Fuqua's attainments are equal to those of his teammate. Tn the N. c. A. A. cham pionships he fin- ished second in the 40 yard run and fifth in the 220 dash. In the | conference outdoor championships | he won the 220 yard dash in 21.5 | seconds, the 400 yard run in 4S.7 | seconds. He hold the A. A. II. quar- ter mile championship at 4S.7 sec 0nds and the conference indoor quarter mile record of 49.4, estab- lished this winter.

FRENCH WRESTLER BACK
 SEEKING WORLD TITLE

Montreal (UP)-Henri Deglane. giant French wrestler, returned from his native France the other day and warned all claimants to the worlds wrestling title that he 'is ready to prove that Henri De- glane is the only one who deserves to be called champion. Tt will not be very long until I am champion of the world again." said the one-time title-holder in an interview here. Before I'm through I'm going to show them that they're all out of step but Henri Deglane. From Don George right down I'll show them all, not forgetting Jim Browning and his phoney wine- barrel airplane."
 Here's what he will do to the various title claimants when he gets them in the ring:
 Joe Savoldi: "I'll make him jump right outside the ring"
 Jde Malcewicz: q never can spell his name and nobody will be interested in trying to after wash him up for keeps"
 Jim Londos: "I'll twist his nose into his ear."

Dynamometer Reconditioned

Philadelptia--(UP)-The first practical dynamometer, . device for measuring power, has been re- conditioned and placed on exhtibi at Franklin institute here. It was designed by William F. Tatham, president of the institute from 1879 to 1885. The devce was an- announced in 1881, when dynamos and elevtric motors were very new. Because there was no accurate way of measuring their power, there was widespread confusion over whether or not they were practical.

FAN EXPRESSES VIEWS
REGARDING DIAMONDBALI

Editor, The Citizen:
The diamondball season is with
US again. A good, clean, health
full recreation and amusement.
What does diamondball mean
to Key West?
Well, it provides innocent.
wholesome amusement to thou
sands of men and women, both
young and old, two or three times
a week.
1t provides place for the boys
and girls to congregate, and keeps
them away from other pastimes
less wholesome. 1t is amusement
for the poor folks. who in this day
of depression and hard times have
nothing to do but stay home and
go to bed. The fellow without the
price of a movie ticket can go to
the ball game, meet his cronies,
see a good contest, and go home
refreshed in mind and in better
spirits. 1t provides amusement for
the masses, and gives them a
chance for a little pastime although
they may not have dime to pay
for it. 1t is a valuable asset to
Key West, in keeping up the spir-
it of the people. The question
arises: How can we support it or
will we support it?
Last year the people who gen.
erously contributed their time and

the Sluggers. For instance, Joe
Casa played ball last year around
New York City, and other cities
up north for Tint Molina, man
ager Of the Cuban Stars. He lost
his arm and returned to Key West.
He could not pitch. No team
wanted him. The managers of the
Pirates took him in the team. and
after eight months treatment is
now in good shape, and his arm is
in perfect condition.
Quintan Lopez also played in
the same team with Joe House in
the same cities, sprained his ankle,
and came home on crutches. The
managers of the Pirates carried
him on the team while injured,
now a winning pitcher. Armando
Acevedo, whose weak arm could
not reach first, was also carried
on the team while injured, and
after taking treatment, responded.
Capote and Carbonell, others who
were sick, were carried on the
team. The Pirates went through
all of this. and now why should
they break up their team by Civ
ing their players to other clubs
with whom they don't care to
play?

games. In the first game the
Young Sluggers were offered $40
to beat the Stars. Result: The
Stars defeated the Sluggers. In
the second game the Sluggers
were so tired and so handicapped
by the Pirates that they were no
match, and good many of the
Slugger fans retired almost at the
start Of the game when the Pirates
began hitting Beliss in the open
ing inning, and scored three runs.
Later on the Sluggers quit the
field in the sixth inning when the
score stood Is to 0.
The fans in Key West like to
see good baseball playing. and are
willing to pay for it, but they do
not like to see one-sided games,
especially like those of Sunday.
The management of the Pirates
team agrees with the fans that re-
tired from the game Sunday. Why
remain to see game of baseball,
the result of which you know be-
fore starting, with bunch of
players operating indifferently,
not caring how many runs are
made. Are the Pirates respon-
sible for this condition? Are the
Pirates responsible for the lack Of
training of the Young Sluggers?
Are the Pirates responsible for
the refusal of the Sluggers to
practice? On the other hand you
have the Pirates practicing base
ball every day, and willing to
practice any time and any day.
The managers of the Pirates give
much of their time to see that the
team is in good shape. Is it right
for the Pirates to go through all
of this and when the players are
IN good shape to break up the
team by giving their players to

the ball players who also gave of
their time did their best to keep
the game going until the close of
the season. Night after night
collections did not pay for lighting
the grounds. The players had to
provide, their own uniforms, and
in many instances, had to dig down
in their pockets for money to pay
for the balls all this in order to
keep an average of 1900 people
a night amused. Is that fair?
The EXPENSES fora game are
about $7.O6 per night. Two nights
per week make a grand total of
$14.OO. Ten weeks is about the
length of the season, so we have
cost of $l4O to provide whole
some amusement to about 1.500
people.
We are advised that there are
about 80 people that patronize our
golf course. All of them are able
to pay for this amusement, but
the city ofAKey West pays it for
them to the tune of $1,000 per
year. If the city can do this for
the golf players, cannot they af-
ford to spend. $40 for the recre-
alton of thousands of the poorer
people who cannot afford golf, or
do not like golf? Please bear in
mind ! am not knocking golf.
am glad we have it, and like to
see the boys go out and have a
good time. The point is, if we
can afford one, we can afford the
other.
If the eva had erected an
other small grandstand on the
ball lot in the park. when they
were spending all that money on
the band stand, it could have been
used for the fellow with a nickel.
and between the ten and five
cent grandstands sufficient mon.
ey might have been taken in to
pay for the lights and incidentals.
It might be possible to do this yet,
if any of the money for this pro-
ject is left.
In the meantime, however, the
diam0ndball fans of Key West
would like for our city fathers to
at least arrange with the Electric
Company to pay for the lights this
season. OF course if they cannot
afford it, neither can they afford
the $4,000 for the golf course.
The writer does not think the
Electric Company will object to
helping out, although they might
figure that many homes are dark
while the diamondhall game is in
progress. We feel sure the Elec-
trio Company would make this
little sacrifice, and "do their part. :"

OBSERVATIONS OF
BASEBALL FOLLOWER

Editor, The Citizen:
What makes the Young Slug
gers. winners of the first half, a
team out OF running and without
a chance to win the championship
Of the city?
The strong Pirates team is in
good shape, and their players are
satisfied to play for the manage
ment OF the team from which they
receive no pay for their services,
and they do their utmost to give
the best that is in them.
The managers of the Pirates
team are the players friends, and
they treat them with decency, as
sist them in their troubles when
they are not able to take care of
themselves in the way of repair
ing shoes, mitts and gloves, in adj
dition to having the players select
many bats to their own fancy and
satisfaction.
The Pirates players are all good
friends with each other, and there
is no petty jealousy among them.
The Pirates players when on the
diamond do as they are instructed
to do. regardless Of whether they
think that the play is a right or
wrong one that has been ordered.
They play according to instruc-
tons from the coach or managers
that give the order.
The Pirates players are not UNI
der any obligations to the man.
ayers, neither are they under a
contract nor duty bound to play
with the Pirates team. They are
free agents. and can play with
whatever team they choose. They
play on this team because they are
all good friends.
The Young Sluggers fans would
like to see the Sluggers win, but
how can they do it. They are q
good bunch of boys, but only play
ball on Sunday and loaf all during
the week. They are out Of prac-
tiee, and naturally when they
reach the field on Sunday they are
licked before the game starts.
After a few minutes of practice
they are tired, and cannot pro-
duce the goods due to the fact
that they are tired before the
game starts.
Why don't the Young Sluggers
practice a little, and give the fans
an opportunity to witness a good
baseball game with their team in
action. Why cause dissatisfaction
among the Sluggers players and

PHILADELPHIA (N.A.NA).-The
much-maligned depression has not
been without its virtues, in the opin-
ion Of Rev. DR.. George G. Bartlett,
dean Of the Philadelphia Protestant
Episcopal Divinity School. .a,t
DR.. Bartlett feels these blighted
years are quite likely to produce better
ministers. His reasons, given in an
interview, are that theological schools
of all denominations, hard hit finan-
cially during the past few years, have
limited their enrollments and raised
their entrance requirements, SO that
better men are being admitted for
preparation for the ministry. =
His school, one of the most heavily
endowed theological institutions in the
country, has just announced a short-
ening Of the present school term by
six weeks to avoid running into debt.
And so that the school will still be out
Of the red when it reopens IN
September additional administrative
economies will be effected during the
Summer.
None Of the economy steps taken
abridge essential studies, DR.. Bartlett
said. And this, he feels, is largely true
of other divinity schools.
