The west in general and the
Pacific Coast conference in partic-
ular is girding its loins for the an
nual athletic rushing season, our
scouts report.
From all reports, it will be as
holly contested as the football
championship which follows. In
fact, activity designed to induce
grid stars to enroll at the respec-
tive institutions already is on
with few qualms in evidence.
True, the conference officially
frowned on CALIFORNIA; alumni
who announced last winter they
would openly seek to induce athletes
to attend the Berkeley institution.
But the rather uncouth word
"proselyte" isn't used.
A short time ago Stanford's
alumni met at Long Beach, Calf,
and listened to plan evolved by
Robert "Dink" Templeton, fiery
track coach, whereby the gradu-
ates of The Farm were asked to
contribute a dollar a month to
help see the athletic stars through
school.
Stanford and Southern Califor-
mia admit they have operated ath-
letic scholarships for years to
combat the others of the Coast
conference, whose tuition as state
institutions is much lower.
Because of the transfer rule, the
fall rushing season may have con-
siderable effect on the impending
football season, since stars from
the junior colleges may be enrolled
in September, eligible to play i'm
mediately.

burning up the Pacific Coast
league this season, already is look

gaps in the team he expects TO
graduate to the majors.
Gilly Campbell, catcher, has been
cold to Cincinnati for delivery next
spring. Frank Demaree, leading
batter and home run hitter OF the
league, is certain to go back to the
Chicago Cubs.
Lou Garland, strapping young
right handed pitcher, has made
such an impression that it was
expected he would go up while
Marvin Guist, another outfielder,
is being considered by several ma

sons when the Cubs were given
preference on Los Angeles baseball
players, those who are not here

NEW YORK. June 27.-Joseph w

Hartman National Bank g. Trust Co.
was sentenced to four and one-half
years in prison today on a conviction
of causing false entries In the books
Of the bank
Federal Judge John C. Knox di-
rected that Hartman be turned over
Ito the custody of the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States for conflne-
ment IN the penitentiary for a period
of four and one-half years on each
count on which he stands convicted. "
Sentences Concurrent
The court inadvertently neglected
to state that the sentences be concur
rent, but said later that was what he
meant, and he had that phrase in
serted in the record.
Hartman was convicted by Fed
eral Court jury last Tuesday on l6
counts OF an indictment charging
falsification OF the banks records and
misapplication of funds of the bank
Execution of his sentence was STAYED
until next Tuesday morning to permit
him to apply to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals for a further
stay.
The former banker and his family
took the sentence calmly.
Physicians Are Heard.
Before sentence was pronounced
two physicians testified briefly regard
ing the condition of Hartman, who is
81 years old. One said he would not
be stle to stand exercise and that the
ordinary rigors of prison life might
result in a serious heart attack The
other testified the banker was suffer
ing from deterioration of the central
nervous system.
Harriman's attorney. addressing the
court, said: Il ask you to bear in
mind this man was a respectable citi-
zen for so years, until adversely came
upon him. his health failed and the
depression came 1t was as an i'll
man that he carried on while these
events occurred. He denied under oath
and still denies he made or caused to
be made any of these false entries.

Roosevelt, a boyhood friend. He sup

campaign. But down there Repre-
sentative Chavey, a Democrat, who
supported Roosevelt for the Demo-
cratic nomination, as well as for the
election, may become the Democratic
senatorial candidate. This makes it
very difficult, it is said. for the ad-
ministration to take sides. Yet if
Senator Norris idea was followed
there. the President would come out
strongly for Cutting, a Progressive
Republican. And he would give his
support also to Senator Shipstead
