MIR. oRvILLE HOOKER,

1V1 Marion's popular coach, who
is thoroughly versed in Indiana
basketball, delivered talk over the
FIT. Wayne radio station the other
night in which he definitely opposed
the three clay state tourney plan
which has aroused some notice
through it's discussion n the state
Legislature.
Coach Hooker has taken teams to
the state from Newcastle, his former
net stronghold, and in 1892 pro-
duced Trojan team that won the
state tournament. The Marion
mentor joins with numerous other
Hoosier coaching veterans in voic-
ing the opinion that the present
tourney Setup is not over strenuous
on the boys. The relaxation follow
ing the days games comes as quick
ly as the fatigue incurred during
the play, he explains.
Coach Hooker hit the high note
of his address when he pointed out
that it is the aim ana the duty of
every COdCl W 1OOh OuG lOI IllS UOySJ
and that our host of Indiana
coaches would not selfshly exploit
their boys if they thought they

FUNDS AT ONCE
S860,000,000 Is Needed for
Federal JObIeSS Aid by
Feb. 10.

BIZ United PTess
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-Congress
must pass President Roosevelt S
$3.50 900 900 Relief Bill before Feb. ID
If federal employment aid is to con-
tinue after that date.
Harry L. Hopkins, Emergency Re
lief Administrator. has only S5O.00O.-
600 on hand, one third Of the $780,
100000 he will need TO provide food
clothing and shelter for the nations
estimated 100000 needy during
the next four weeks.
Mr.. Hopkins is proceeding along
two lines IN attempting to utilize his
cash 70 the best advantage. First,
he is spreading it out as thinly as
possible in all states. Second, he
is placing the relief burden on all
states IN proportion to their ability
to bear It.
President Roosevelt is aiding him.
He transferred s3OOO0,OOO from the
now defunct Civil Works Admins
tration fund to relief, and added
$50 600 600 from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. He is push
ing for expeditions passage Of his
huge relief measure.
The plan is for gradual curtaiI-
ment Of federal relief expenditures
as the Presidents $4,000 600 900 pub

working-be returned to state local
relief rolls by Feb. /. States unable to

be given federal aid.
But we are not going TO leave
unemployables on federal rolls in any
state" Mr. Hopkins insisted.
1t depends on the acts Of Con-
gress and old-age pension legisla-
ton and legislation for dependent
children, but we are working out
with states methods and plans for
them 70 take over the balance Of
the unemployables other than Ole
people that can be handled by some
Joint scheme.
In the meantime, none Of these
peopule is suffering, that is sure.
The plan is moving very rapidly now,
and I think it won't be long before
they are all off federal relief"

Nebraska has been called on for s4,-

HORSES AWAIT
OPENING

HAGERSTOWN, Md, May 20.
The stage is set for the opening
of the ten-day racing meet of the
Hagerstown Fair Association to-
morrow.
A number of thoroughbreds ar
rived at the fair grounds yester-
day to replace those taken away
by owners, who refused to enter
unless purses were increased.
Practically all of the recalcitrant
owners had removed their horses
today.
Fair officials stated that there
are many fast horses on hand and
there will be plenty Of fast run
ners for the seven daily events.
Members of the force Of Mort1-
mer Mahoney, in charge OF the
mutuels, began arriving yesterday.
The track is in splendid condi-
ton and some of the finest races
in the history Of the association
are expected during the next 10
days.
Some fine cards are planned by
racing officials. The prompt and
decisive action of the fair officers
in rejecting the demands of the
horsemen for an increase of from
$500 to $4OO in purses was highly
praised by racing officials In
Maryland and elsewhere. 1t is
generally felt that local officials
took the right course.

mated by constant swinging Of
bats. Yet some baseball players
the writer knows are atroc1ous
golfers.
There are two sports which
are apart from the field. They
are rowing and golf. Jack Den1p-
Sey would not be eligible to COM

the old champion probably would
fall out of the first shell he at

fear that she might roInp through
the field across the fairways, as
she romped through all other
fields. Perhaps someone thought
that the best interests Of golf or
something-or omeone-would be
served by putting this girl from
the prairies in her place.
A Ridiculous Ruling
It is entirely ridiculous to bar
Babe DidrikSon from amateur golf
because of her activities in other
lines of sport. If she received any
remuneration directly from her
skill at golf there might be some
cause for disbarring her. But she
certainly has not done this.
The Babes status, viewed
through masculine eyes, and also
with the eyes Of the generous
spirited president Of the Wom-
ems Western Golf Association,
Mrs. Raymond, is identical with
that Of Sammy Byrd, Eppa
Rixey, Babe Ruth. Jack Demp-
sey or any one Of 1000 profes-
sional athletes who might be
named. All of these men could
play in the national amateur
golf championship or in any Dis
trict championship.

Mildred Babe" Didrikson Is
saved to competitive golf by the
sporting gesture Of Mrs. H. D.
Raymond, president Of the
Western Women's Golf Associa'
ton after her entry had been re-
fused on the grounds Of PROBES
sionalism in the women's national
championship. It is only neces-
sary to have a handicap under ID
to compete in the western women's
championship. No silly conditions
fence the competition.
This wandering reporter can
find nothing but praise for the
Western Association. It has al
ways been my opinion that
Americas heroine in the last
Olympics was the victim OF
shooting promoters. She got her
dish of porridge all right, but sur
rendered rights that were lar
more valuable than any Of the
slight returns she reaped.
Barring Miss DidrikSon in the
women's national seemed to me to
be very small potatoes. Perhaps
it proved nothing more than that

ISOLATION Of Amateur Oarsmen
would have been greatly upset
over this, but the subject never
was brought up and no ones feel
ings were hurt. I feel quite GER
tain that my baseball activities
never aided me in the slightest in
the boat. Nor has my golf bene"
fitted greatly.
No Aid to Golf
I feel just as certain that so
far as golf is concerned, Miss
Didrikson derived no benefits
from running sprints or lightly
tossing the javelin. There is just
one way to master the touch of
a cunning approach shot, and
that is through hours of practice.
In her travels the Texas Babe
may have encountered just a
little jealousy. Perhaps she en-
countered some one who dis
approved Of her almost masculine
skill and stamina in athletics.
It is refreshing to find q leader
with Mrs. Raymonds breadth Of
vision, and her willingness to
emancipate Miss Didrikson from
the silly restrictions placed upon
her by leaders who could never
match her athletic skill, but who
could crush her with a sweep OF a
pen. ~
