"Perfect Game"
By Dixie Hurler

I ONGVIEW, Tex, August % Up.
Hugo Klaerner. right-hand-
ed pitcher for Longview Of the
West Dixie League, pitched a per-
feet base ball game here tonight
when he shut out the Jacksonville
Jax with no runs, no hits. and did
not permit man to reach first
either by walk or error. He struck
out 10 men.
Klaerner left a sick bed to take
the mound. Only two balls were
hit hard, and they were lined into
fielders' hands.
First Baseman Frank Couska
doubled with the bases loaded in
the seventh to produce the three
runs by which Longview won the
game.

Harry Hopkins, Federal Relief
Chief, Financed Education With
Earnings as a Pro Ball Player

Isn't that q high Government ON
cial watching that sandlot ball game?
Haven't you often seen his picture
on the front pages recently?
Sure, you have. It's Harry L. Hop
kins, Federal relief administrator, and
his weakness for base ball. which
halts him at Monument lot diamond
on his way to work Is only the natural
outgrowth of the years during which
as a college man he played profess
sional ball to finance his way through
his senior year at college.
A three-sport star, who was gradu-
ated from Grinnell College in 1912,
Hopkins shone at basket ball. tennis
and base ball, but it was only from
the latter that he ever derived any
revenue. A crack pitcher and short
stop. Hopkins found himself up against
1t after his junior year at Grinnell.
The state of the family finances made
hazy the likelihood of his returning
to pitch for his alma mater In his last
year.
So for fun and finance, Hopkins
turned 10 DaSe Ddll curing the sum-
mer Of 1911. He Joined semi-pro
team and Travelled all through the
State of Montana during those three
months of June. July and August. He
pitched at Butte. He played short
at Helena. Wherever the team went
Hopkins was with 1t. alternating in
the positions at which he consistently
outshone his more experienced team
mates. At the beginning Of the Fall
term he had enough money to carry
him through graduation.
That was his last base ball play
ing Barred from collegiat- diamond
activities by his semi-pro status. Hop
kins gave up the active playing Of
the game altogether. He still gets
a great kick out Of watching 1t played,
however, hence his haunting Of the
Ellipse.

"By their actions packers and

James said he found the note

Capt. John Henry Turner busted
off his uniform, tilted his cap on the
side of his head. and piloted the old
steamer, Charles Manchester, on its
farewell trip down the Potomac
That was Monday, just two days be-
fore the formal announcement that
the good ship Charlie Mac is going to
be sold down the river.
There was q tear in the captains
eye as he mounted the bridge. but a
smile on his lips as he recalled the
many days gone nov that he ran the
old Charles Manchester from its moor
ings at the Seventh Street Wharf to
the picnic grounds at Marshall Hall.
Man and ooy, Capt. Henry Turner
has stood at the wheel of the Charles
Manchester since 1907-28 years come
this fourth Of July. He took over
the wheel from the first captain, Tom
Ross, who started the boat on its
maiden run down the Potomac, back
in the Spring Of 1890.

As years. the old Charlie Mac has
