FROM THE PRESS BOX
Hog-Callers Worst of Leather-Lunged
Who Crave Announcer's Job at Garden.
BY JOHN LARDNER-

utes. The formula is simple. The
candidate has few tough names
to pronounce. some weights to broad
cast. and a brief speech to say. He
is tested for resonance, diction and
enunciation. Then he is given his
hat.
Announcer Must Know q Lot.
IF YOU think this announcing busi-
ness is something any one can
do" said Mr.. Johnston, you're crazy.
There's not Humphreys in a carload.
You need fella with color and nice
personality, with a voice and an easy
manner, that don't get upset, that can
handle crowd. that knows something
about fight business.
"The only way you can get
most Of those things is through
experience. I need announcers
that have been through the
mill.
How do know that hog-caller
can handle a tough crowd? Hogs,
that's one thing. People, that's an
other. When crowd gets to booing,
you can't shut 'em up with q load Of
acorn soup. or whatever it is that
them animals eat"
Nest of the candidates for Joe's
job are full of confidence. Confidence
seems to go with a strong pair of
lungs. These boys admit under slight
pressure that they can sway the mob
at will. producing tears, laughter,
heartache. patriotism, or whatever the
job calls for, at moments notice.
Mr.. Johnston, himself q gifted
tonsil-swinger, is not easily impressed
by their claims. To date, he is turn
ing them away as fast as they come
up. Some day he may discover an
18-carat Caruso of the "ladeez and
gen trade, but he expects to
suffer long time before this paragon
appears.
I'm out all day to hog-caIlers
and fight managers" he was
shouting from his Office when
your correspondent departed.
And somewhere, deep down in the
center Of the building, a voice was
family bowling: In this corner, the
fighting pride of Paraguay"
1t sounded like a timber wolf on a
distant mountain. Additions were
going on as usual.

~ H1cAGo. September 1.-The
assemblage Of 20 or so Of the
best foot ball players in the
~ world, meaning the college
all-stars and the Chicago Bears at
Soldier Field Thursday night, turned
out several answers:
/. That probably no other sport on
the calendar, played out Of season on
rainy night, could draw more than
1900 admissions, with the better
seats in triple demand.
2. That foot ball today, played at
its peak, is largely game Of defense
and not attack-that the defense pre-
dominates by heavy margin.
3. That veteran pros and veteran
collegians can make mistakes In judg-
ment that would start a loud hula
baloo against some young sophomore
(such as throwing a long, obvious,
sky-rocketing pass on the fourth down
with a foot to go at midfield, as the
Bears did.
4. That Beattie Feathers Of the
Chicago Bears and Tennessee and Bill
Shepherd Of Western Maryland and
the Boston Redskins are the answers
to a coach's prayer.
5. That forward passing from any
spot back Of the line, as the pros do,
is q tremendous help to the offense.
6. That team play is more impor-
tant than individual brilliancy.
7. That holding in the line, accord
ing to the all-stars, is much more
prevalent in the pro game than it
is in the college whirl (The collegi-
ans admitted the pros had turned this
knack into Science.)
The heavy margin of defense
in foot ball is easy to see. For
two years now, 10 or IL Of the
best backs in the game have
been plugging away in this pro-
college mix-up without scoring
touchdown.
In the last start, the All-Stars had
such talent on hand as Stan Kostka,
Pug Lund. Bill Shepherd, Nichelini,
Munjas, Berries, etc., and the best
they could do was to threaten Just
once in so minutes.
The Bears fine backfield, headed
by Beattie Feathers, could offer only
two goal-line threats against a team
herded together only two or three
weeks ago. Hard, quick charging and
hard, sure tackling still are big bar
riers in the way of an attack.

Cardinals, Giants Suffer
Reverses-Yanks Pick Up
as Tigers Idle.

~ ITTsBURGH'S threat against
- the top-ranking trio Of Ma
tional League clubs has been
L checked, or at least slowed
down, because Roy Henshaw, Chicagos
pint-sized portsider, holds a 10-gallon
jilx over the Pirates, but the whole
affair has served to bring out how
close a race is going on In the senior
big league.
Until they ran afoul of Henshaw
yesterday the Pirates had won ten
straight games, six of them from the
three pennant hopefuls, and had
placed themselves only six games
behind the league-leading Cardinals.
The little lefty, who had beaten
Pittsburgh five times in six previous
efforts, put an end to that winning
streak when he rang up victory No. O.
his eleventh of the season in all-witn
a neat eight-hit hurting performance
and knocked in the first run Of an
8-to-2 victory himself. A five-run
rally aginst Cy Blanton in the eighth
finished the job.

Cards, Giants Jolted.

A FTER it was over, however, the
Bucs still were six games behind
and we'll within striking distance Of
the lead as both the Cards and second
place Giants suffered reverses, while
Chicago was only 11a games behind
st. Louis and half game from New
York
The Cards had a bad day at the
plate with Paul Derringer heaving
them over for Cincinnati and bowed
to the Reds, to 8, while Curt Davis
Of the Phillies limited New York to
four hits, one homer by Travis
jackson, to win, 6 to l.
Derringer pitched two-hit ball for
six innings, while his mates built up
a 40 lead. and when he cracked Don
Brennan stemmed the rally short of
a tie. The Cards had another re-
verse when Pepper Martin pulled up
lame in the first inning and had to
leave the game
Washington topped the days per-
formances in the American League
when it defeated the Red Sox in q
thinning mound duel between Buck
Newsom and Lefty Grove and climbed
into sixth place.
The victory put the Nationals q
half a game ahead Of the Athletics,
who took 5-to-3 beating from the
Yankees for their seventh straight
loss despite home runs by Jimmy
Foxx and Bob johnson. FoU's
homer was his twenty-ninth Of the
season.

BANK NOTICE WINS
MRS. HAGEN PRIZE

1t is possible that the First Bank OF
White Bluffs may find it's way to fame
through the widely-known Believe 1t
Or Not" feature by Robert Ripley one
of these days. But not because Of the
ease with which those who have bro
ken in have been apprehended, or any
unique methods of business procedure.
But rather on account of the follow
ing entry into Believe It Or Not con-
test conducted by the Spokesman-Re
view, which won a prize for Mrs. Lois
Hagen of Hanford: "Our bank closes
while the cashier has a vacation, as
proved by the following notice in the
White Bluffs Spokesman" u. Mrs.
Hagen then quoted the notice which
stated that the bank would be closed
on Friday, August 2, until Monday
morning during the absence Of the
cashier and his family.

HEAR CONVENTION
REPORT AT PICNIC

Although smaller than usual, the
Woman's club picnic Sunday was an
enjoyable affair. There were thirty
present to enjoy the delicious food
which was served on tables placed
on the lawn at the Edmund Anderson
ranch. After the meal the men visited
among themselves, the children went
to the river to swim and the club
members held an informal meeting.
The gavel, symbol Of presidency, was
given to Mrs. r. s. Reierson by Mrs.
Roy Gibbins, retiring president, after
Mrs. Gibbins had addressed the mem
bers expressing her appreciation for
the work they had accomplished dur
ing the past two years and the good
will towards herself and one another
evidenced by the membership.
Mrs. Reierson then gave her report
on the State Federation Of Women's
Clubs convention at Tacoma In June
which she attended. Mrs Reierson was
at the session for two days and
sketched briefly the gist of each OF
the talks she heard. Late In the after
noon second meal of ice cream and
cake was served.

organization, will demonstrate to the
nation the value and service of the
Grange.
This event will not be for Changers
alone, as everyone will be invited to
attend the meeting of their nearest
local Grange. This will be the one
special event when a neighboring
N1Tdllk6 ID 1lOU AlVlUCSl, AL Cc1S4A NJ e~A40S
will be host to its own neighborhooo
population.
Medals will be awarded by the ma
tional Grange for the best five Booster
Night programs in the nation, and two

WARN CREDITORS
OF VIOLATING LAW

Creditors who have taken farmers
notes ION the side" after agreeing to
accept Land bank commissioners funds
in full settlement of their claims are
not only violating the spirit of the
emergency farm mortgage act, but they
have no legal ground for collecting, &C
cording to the views of William Healy,
general counsel for the farm credit
administration of Spokane.
GAS condition to the granting of
an emergency Land bank commission
er's loan, Mr.. Healy explains, "bor-
rowers have been required to obtain
statements that their creditors would
accept the loan proceeds in full set
tlement and that no indebtedness
would remain beyond the commits
sioner's first or second mortgage, which
can not exceed rs per cent of the APP
praised normal value of the property
I'm setting up these reasonable safe
guards, the commissioner wisely reck-
oned, on the basis Of careful appraisal
that this amount of indebtedness was
all the farm could reasonably carry
and that the borrower should be left
with a clear Is per cent equity to in
sure his success in working out Of debt
and owning his farm outright within
reasonable length of time.
I'm cases where borrowers and for
mer creditors have violated the terms
of their agreements by entering into
outside agreements suits for collection
will be resisted by the federal farm
mortgage corporation and in proper
cases by the federal land bank. Carry
over indebtedness may be regarded as
moral obligation to be paid Wher
the farmer is able, but this is an indi-
vidual matter. 1t can not stand as 6
legal claim against the property mort
gagged to the federal farm mortgage
corporation"

Sam Allard Is
Honored Guest
AtDinner arty
Observes 9th Anniversary
With Local Irrigation
Project

HOnOring Sam Allard, who on Aug
ust 9Th began his 28th year Of en-
ployment with the local irrigation pro-
ject, the White Bluffs Grange last
Thursday night was host at dinner
and program to which were invited,
besides the Grange members, officials
of the irrigation district and many of
Mr.. Allards old-time friends
F. A. English master of ceremonies
during the evening, recounted how Mr.
Allard, with the late H. E. Robinson
and Ed Loveland, was instrumental In
organizing the first White Bluffs Band.
The three made the first donations,
and then helped in raising further
funds with which to purchase instru-
ments for the group.
Mr. Allard came to the Priest Rapids
valley in 1908, going to work imrnedi-
ately for the Hanford Irrigation and
Power company, which was construct
ing the power plant at Priest Rapids
and the pumping plant at Coyote Rap
ids. From 1922 to 1925 he served as
county commissioner and in 1921 was
president of the White Bluffs Com
mercial club.
Reminiscing on his early-d day expert
ences here, Mr. Allard spoke of his
trip into the valley. Coming from Min
nesota to Yakima, where he visited his
brother-in-laW he came on by stage
to Priest Rapids.
The first days journey from Yakima
brought him as far as the Halfway
House, then operated by "Bo" Hink-
erman. Supper and breakfast were
eaten there, at a cost of rs cents for
each. For $10O he was given "bed"
in barley straw stack. He arrived at
Priest Rapids at $3.50 the following
evening.
The two days travel wore out the
horses and the is passengers on the
| stage had to walk most Of the way
Road conditions were very bad, espe-
cially through Mckee, where there was
much mud.
Reaching Priest Rapids, Mr.. Allard
found the bunk house filled up, and
slept in the barn the first night. Luck
lily, he had fur coat, so was able
to keep warm.
Having had a good deal Of expert
ence in the mills of Minnesota with
steam boilers and electrical equipment,
| he was soon given a job putting the
equipment of the power plant in shape
SO that when the hackers OF the pro-
ject made their trip Of inspection, the
plant would be operating smoothly.
G.. r. Slavens of Hanford, a director
of the irrigation district, also told OF
some of the work Mr.. Allard had done
for the project, and of his community
endeavors.
Following the program, dinner was
served to about one hundred people,
with dancing to the music furnished
by Mr.. and Mrs. Pete Kalkwarf being
enjoyed later.
The program given by the Grange
for Mr.. Allard was:
Piano solo, Virginia Kincaid; read
ing, Sans Prayer" Mrs. j. Holecek;
piano duet, Ruby and Marguerite Penn;
tap dance, Aileen and Arlene Fuller;
vocal solo, END of a Perfect Day,
w. H. Kirby, accompanied by Mrs
Kirby; reading, THAT Hired Girl,
Mrs. w. j. Jenkins; cornet solo, Ed
Ponsat; skit, "And the Lamp Went
Out" Grange members.
