Donkey Fray Goes
to Railway Nine
[. S. AyreS Team .BIanked in
Game at Stadium.

The indianapolis Railways team
evidently used many of their old
time employees who once drove mule
cars in their donkey baseball game
against the L. S. Ayres & Co. nine
at Perry Stadium last night, for the
Railways won by Shutout, 7 to O.
The winners had a knack OF max
ing the stubborn burros go just
where they desired and piled up a
big lead, while the Ayres boys, who
never come in contact with dom
keys, other than the toy variety,
couldn't coax one of the risky balk-
ers around the circuit.
Owing to the popularity of the
game. an additional contest has
been carded for tomorrow night, the
A. B. C.'S, local semi-pro team, be-
ing booked to meet up with the
American Foundry Squad.
Tonight, the indianapolis Power
and Light Co. plays Kingan & Co.,
and the game is hard to dope"

Strafaci. If the, young fellow has
a middle name it must be Par"
He scored a 80 on the outgoing
nine of his first round match with
Frank Connolly of Detroit Wednes-
day and finished the match with
string of parS and brides to make
the verdict and 2.
Against Bruce Baird of Santa
Monica in the second round, young
Strafaci fired Is consecutive pars
before he encountered trouble and
took double DOGGY 6, but he fin
ished the match with two pars and
scored a 3 and 2 win.
Yesterday morning in a third
round match against Bruce McCor-
mick, Los Angeles team captain,
young Strafaci fired ten pars, three
birdie and four bogies. In his
quarter-final match with Charlie
Amandoles he got back on the par
standard again and reeled off IA
consecutive pars to win and 4.
CaddieS for LuminarieS
The youngster began golf at the
age of II as a caddy. He carried
clubs for six years working for the
best players in the business, Craig
Wood, Whiffy Cox, Walter Hagen
and others. In 1882 he was the
Metropolitan caddy champion.
Last year when his game went
sour it was Whiffy Cox who straight
ened him out. So convinced is the
Brooklyn pro that the youngster has
the stuff that he has since spent
much time working with him, and
is especially interested because
young Strafaci nodded his game
after that of Cox.
Last year the youngster won the
Metropolitan Junior championship
and holds three course records, 81
on the par 81 Dyker Beach links; a
Sc on the par 70 Cold Stream course
and 60 on the par 70 New Hyde
Park links.
The youngster is given dope
edge over the veteran Tones today
although the West Coast player
must be credited with upsetting such
stars as Nordstrom and Armstrong
Tones is "a and after he ceased
playing semi-pro baseball in 1929 he
took up the links game. He qualified
in the national Public Links cham
pionship at Portland in 1888, but
failed to make the grade at Pitts
burgh last year. He appeared to be
tired and weary when he finished
his match with Armstrong yester-
day.
\ Games About Even
Bill Russell also takes favorite
position over Joe C0ria. not so
much because Bills game merits
the big edge over that of CORA but
because Joe is not in the best of
physical shape for the gruelling
36-hole match that confronts him
today, having blisters on his feet.
Stamina means as much in this
tournament as a golf game,
Strictly comparing games the two
appear to rank about even. Were
they to take the course under per-
feet conditions bitter battle
likely decided by breaks would re-
suit.

Cancellation of debts is a much
discussed subject and will be one
of the major questions brought up
during the conference. Thirteen
billion dollars worth of farm debts
speak for themselves. Even the
most optimistic of prophets knows
that these debts can never De paid.
AS farmers write to us: "I have
talked to many farmers and bust
ness men and in their judgment
and mine too we think the govern
ment should cancel these debts.
It's a burden they cannot carry
along with other obligations and
live. Not that the farmer
won't pay, but he can't"
The problem is, will these debts
be cancelled before the small far
mer is completely wiped out? be-
fore the creditor has seized all of
his equity, his farm and equip
ment, his home, and the entire
products of his years of toll.
Thousands of farmers are send
ing delegates to Sioux Falls fol

equity, that farm and equipment

UNITED ACTION OF
MARYLAND FARMER
STOPS FARM SALE

The united action of farmers liv-
ing in the vicinity of Berlin, Nd,
blocked the sale of personal prop
erty belonging to John N. Gordy,
one of their neighbors, to satisfy
a debt Of $3.50.
The constable in charge Of the
sale first offered a farm electric
light plant. The farmers admon-
ished him that lighting plants are
classed as real estate under the
law, and cannot be sold as per-
sonal property.
The constable then put up num-
erous farm implements, but the
stony-faced farmers refused to Of
fer a cent. No person offered a
bid. The constable saw what was
happening, stopped the sale and
went home.
The united action on the part
of John Gordy's neighbors had
checlxmated the auction sale sim
ply by refusing to bid for the
goods.

.MethodistS
Attack AAA
AAA Is Aiding Wealthy
Farmers Only, Says
Survey

METHODISTS - ........ ........ ........
NEW YORK.-That the AAA
"is aiding a minority of wealthy
farmers, but agriculture workers
in general are not getting a de-
cent living" was stated in the
summary of a survey made by the
Methodist Federation for Social
Service last week. The federation
launched pointed attack against
the entire Agricultural Adjustment
Administration of Roosevelt.
The survey asserted that in the
two years of New Deal, "the mort
gage debt load on the average farm
is increased" "The government is
gambling on recovery enabling
farmers to carry and pay off this
debt" the federation said.
The survey maintains further
that AAA benefits in very many
cases did not improve the farmers
financial condition, since these
benefits were used to pay OLE
debts.

Youth Congress Of Midwest
Sees Need for United Action

Youth Day on May 80 against war
and fascism.
The unity and enthusiasm of the
congress came to a climax with
the adoption of the declaration of
principles, which states in part:
MANY of US are unemployed, stu
dents graduate from the schools
into breadlines. Those of us who
are still lucky enough to have jobs
are faced with low wages, speed
up and insecurity. Young farm
ers come into an inheritance Of
mortgages and debts; the menace
of war and fascism has become an
increasing danger. Hundreds of
thousands of our numbers have
been regimented into Civilian Con-
servation Camps and transient
camps because they have nowhere
else to eat and sleep. However
we do not believe that the funda-
mental problems are youth prob
lens alone. These are general
problems of the majority of farm
ers and workers, and must be
solved by the united action of us
all. We know we have a big task
We cannot afford to be divided
We must together work out meth
DDS of action on which we can al
agree"
A combinations committee Of
II, representing 16 different or
Plantations, was chosen to continue
the work and carry out the deci
} sions until the second congress
It was decided to work in the clos
J est cooperation with the continue
tions committee of the American
! Youth Congress.

Thousands of Wheat Acres
Are Destroyed by 63
Mile Gales

KANSAS CITY, March IT,
Four persons lost their lives in a
binding, choking dust storm that
swept over the plains from Texas
to the Black Hills in South Da-
kota, carrying hundreds of thous-
ands of tons of top soil from the
farms of western Texas, eastern
New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kan
sas.
A seven-year old boy, Khile Sal
mon, was found a quarter of a
mile from his home. He became
lost and suffocated. Three other
persons were killed in an automo-
bile accident when billowing dust
brought visibility down to zero.
Damage to freshly plowed fields
is huge and cannot be estimated
Top soil was carried away by
winds that reached a velocity oil
GO miles. Airplane pilots reported
that the dust extended upward tt
10000 feet.
Power and light lines were blown
down. Motor buses and trains
trains were held stranded with thu
passengers forced to remain inside

Tort on the part OF the FARMERS
and workers to set up the needed
committee. Even DR.. Butler, the
state relief administrator, is not
doing anything to see that his or
ders are carried out and a griev-
ance committee set up. Last week
he promised by telephone to send
somebody "to straighten matters
out" Nobody appeared, however.
Butler is also stalling and backing
out of his promises.
1t is now up to the farmers and
workers of the county to come to-
gether in a huge meeting to pro-
test against this deliberate sabot-
age of the relief authorities, and
to work out plans in order to get
some representation on the relief
administration in the county.
Another important feature OF
the mass meeting, the delegation
nnounces, will be the question OF
seed and feed loans. It is the enc
of March and farmers are about
ready to start field work but they
have neither seed nor fuel.
J Situation Desperate
The situation is getting desper
ate and is facing practically ever!
farmer in the county. In spite o
the resolution passed at the mas
meeting two weeks ago, no see,
loan checks are being sent by tn
government. The civic clubs o
the county have sent wires urgin
the sending of feed loans. All et
forts so far have been in vair
Resolutions and kilograms are be
ing ignored, it seems.
