NEW regiments are being
~ called constantly and a great
drive for trained air corps en-
listments is being pushed. Sign
boards plead that pilots, mechanics
and radio operators now in private
service heed the call of their
country.
The single damper that has
been placed on enthusiasm for
war has been the report Of wide
spread malaria among troops al
ready in Africa.
Some men-no one seems to
know how many = have been
brought back to Italian hospitals,
but newspapers mention little of
the matter and the people them
selves overlook it almost entirely.
Malaria or no malaria, Italian
victory will be swift, decisive, and
glorious, every one believes.
They seem little interested in
what the rest of Europe thinks Of
their projected invasion of Eth
opia. They quote the dictator that
what Italy is about to do is only
what others have already done
elsewhere. Their contempt for the
League of Nations is absolute.

Defeat Will End Hopes

Long is up for reelection in
January His enemies are combin-
ing to bring about his political
death. Senator Joseph T. Robinson,
Administration floor leader. faces a
bitter election fight in Arkansas
next year. as does Senator Pat Har-
rison, another Administration stall

Long has promised to work for
the defeat OF both Defeat in his
own election. or failure to capture
Arkansas and Mississippi, might end
his hope to weld his Share-the-
wealth followers into a third politi-
cal party.
With this as background. the
Senate drama was enacted before
crowded galleries last night. In the
House chamber. the Navy band
played folk tunes, representative
sang and amused themselves with
pranks. The House had recessed,
waiting for the adjournment hour.
Many representatives stood in the

waving his arms. shouting and ca
joling.
Ignores LabOr's Pleas
Long was following out split
second decision. probably the most
important of his turbulent career.
He could heed the demands of labor
and permit the deficiency bill to
pass. or make a desperate last stand
in behalf of cotton and wheat
farmers.
He chose to appeal to farmers and
the choice indicated to observers
that he intended to swing into the
farm states in his campaign against
President Roosevelt and for his own
political advancement
The point was brought out time
and again on the floor that Long,
by killing the deficiency bill, had
wrecked the social security and
other programs for the aid Of labor
and the unfortunate.
But Long had made his choice
even after two letters had been de-
livered to him by his secretary,
bearing pleas from two of the most
powerful labor organizations in the
United States.
The organizations were the United
Mine Workers of America and the
Railroad BrotherhoodS. Each asked
that he permit the deficiency bill to
pass.

FRIDAY CARD
BENEFIT F Or
SAMMY STEIN

Sammy" Stein, one of the best
of the wrestlers who entered the
game during the past 10 years, is
going blind. During the last two
years he has spent every cent he
saved during his career on the mat
in an effort to stave off the adj
vance of darkness. His fellow
wrestlers and the promoters for
whom he has performed have de-
cided to do their bit in aiding him
in his brave fight, and not only
here in Ell Centre but throughout
the country will be held wrestling
shows, the proceeds of Which-leS5
only the bare and necessary eX-
penses-will go to aid him in carry
ing on.
Promoter John Contos, who gave
Sammy Stein his first opportunity
in the professional ring, which
started him on the road to his
brief success cut short only by the
failure of his eyes, is the one to
suggest these benefit shows. The
matter was discussed and decided
upon at a meeting of promoters
and Wre5tlerS in Los Angeles the
other day.
Not only was Sammy mat star
of prominence, but he also earned
his laurels in the moving picture
industry. Of all the wrestlers who
ever appeared in pictures, Nat Pen
dleton and Sammy were the only
two to attain stardom and were it
not for his present affliction he
might actually have surpassed even
the popular Pendleton. In fact his
performance in that screen classic
The Lost Pasol" was considered
by many critics to be the best Of
any professional actor.
1t is to aid this man, that Jim
Browning, former worlds cham
pion, is coming to the Ell Centre
ring Friday night. Even the pres
ent champion, Jim Londos avoided
him for many years, and it was
only about a year ago that they
met. Londos won, but that does
not detract one iota from Brown
ing's popularity-in fact Jim was
one of the most popular champions
the mat game ever possessed. Fans
usually come to boo the champion
and root for the underdog, but
Missouri Jim Browning was always
the favorite. although champion.
AS his opponent has been picked
John Paul Jones, the lanky Texas
ranger and exponent of the body
scissor. Incidentally, Jim's long
suit is also a scissor, but of a
slightly different type. His flying
scissor has been called by many
experts the most spectacular and
fatal hold in wrestling" This
match may then well be dubbed as
"the battle of the scissors"
Three other bouts Of almost equal
prominence will round out this gi-
gantic benefit card and will draw
its interest not only because it is
benefit, but from the quality Of
the talent.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY United Press

Oscar Witt, manager of the Oak
land team, may be doing the New
York Yankees a real favor in at
tempting to convert Jimmy Tobin
from a pitcher into a first base
man.
The Yankees soon will be look
ing around for a replacement for
durable Lou Gehrig and Wits
gratuitous experiments with Tobin
may give the Ruppertmen the an
sWer to their problem.
OF more direct concern to Witt,
however, is an improvement in his
teams attack. and Tobin can pro-
vide that. As pitcher Jimmy was
pretty good. Twice in row he
won his own games with long hits.
One of his circuit blows travelled
more than 400 feet in San Francis
cos extra long park.
After leading TIE league through
May the Oaks struck the skids when
Leroy Anton, regular first baseman,
was struck by a pitched ball. An
ton hasn't felt like playing since,
although doctors say he is okeh.
With Anton out the Oak attack
slumped and the men Witt tried
at the first hasSock didn't fit.
Last week Oscar had a happy
thought. AS a result Tobin ap-
peared in the first base assignment.
He handled himself well, seemed
to know how to shift his feet prop
erly, and looked good on ground
balls. Better than that Jimmy hit
hard and long.
If the Yankees don't protest, Witt
may keep Tobin on the initial cush-
ion the rest of the season. He
started in as a catcher but caught
major attention as a rnoundsman.
He'll be out there Spearing in
fielders throws and driving back
the outfielders today when the

ating the second week of the Sec
