HASTINGS FLAYS
DEMOCRATS
International News Service


President Roosevelt's Admins
tration was pictured to the Senate
today by Senator Hastings (R),
Delaware, as a foundering ship OF
state guided by a bewldered
pilot on a zig-zag course.
Senator Hastings was provoked
by an eloquent defense of the Ad-
ministration by Secretary of Com
merce Roper, who pictured Mr..
Roosevelt as a brave pilot, bring
ing the ship of state safely
through succession of storms.
Senator Hastings said the pas
sengers on the ship of state, on
the contrary, had found their
gold seized. their dollars reduced
to so cents, the price Of meals
increased and a huge debt
heaped upon their shoulders. He
said the pilot had driven a zig
gag course, because one set of
officers made him steer to the
right while another set had him
steer to the lett.
Senator Hastings chided Presi-
dent Roosevelt for failing to
keep the Democratic party plat
form pledges of 1882. He read
the Democratic planks pledging
a Is per cent reduction in
Governmental expenditures, the
balancing of the budget. the halt.
ing of borrowings and an end to
deficits.

Lou Brouillard and Make RoSen-

Brouillard, who once ruled the

win by flattening Oscar Rankins,
Los Angeles red-haired Negro, in

Campbell Arrives
With Racing Car

NEW YORK, Jan. 80. (U.P)-More
conservative in predictions than in
driving his Bluebird, Sir Malcolm
Campbell is sure only that he has
a good automobile.
Upon his arrival from England,
the British driver who made 272
miles an hour two years ago at
Daytona Beach, Fla, refused to
make a PREDICTION as to how fast
he probably would travel next
month.
Faster than before perhaps" he
said.
However he expressed himself as
certain he could make 300 miles an
hour in his overhauled, new
streamlined Bluebird if he had
sufficient room in which to start
and stop. He feels the IL mile
stretch at Daytona Beach is too
short.
Lady Campbell and their daugh-
ter Jean will watch him drive for
a new record. The party will leave
late today for Florida.

Ry HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Staff Correspondent
MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 30.-A very
outspoken man is Mr.. Joe Tinker,
the Joe Tinker who usually han
died the baseball that went on to
Evers and then to Chance.
Seated in back room of the gar
fish Wonder Bar, which he mana
ges, Joe said today that baseball is
quietly going to hell and that he
is absolutely unable to work himself
into a lather over Babe Ruth's
plight. In fact, Joe is of the opinion
that Babe is rapidly making a fool
of himself, and ought to throw his
glove and bat in the closet and
quit before it's too late.
After ALL" Tinker said when
questioned about Ruth, "the Babe
amt done so bad. The Yanks don't
owe him anything. He made 'em a
lot of money, yes, but gee how they
paid him for it. Why, in his big
years he was making, in one season,
almost as much as the whole pay
roll of our team when we were WIN
ming world series.
"Why, in 1906 the Cubs payroll,
from Frank Chance to the batboy,
was just little over hundred
grand-a hundred and five thousand
to be exact. And Chance, for man
aging and playing hell of a first
base, got only twenty-five hundred.
And remember, the Cubs that year
had not only Chance, but such play
ers as Evers and Mordecai Brown
and Johnny King. Yeah, and me. l
wasn't bad shortstop, except when
you compare me to Hans Wagner,
and then I looked like tramp.
But so did almost any other
player you could name. The Dutch
man-and you can have all the
Cobbs and Ruths and Speakers in
the business-waS way out yonder
the best the game ever saw"
Mr.. Tinker went over to his right
for beer and continued:
Speaking of Hans, I remember a
night in Chicago when a bunch OF
my friends gave me banquet. The
toastmaster got up and said he
would like everybody to stand and
drink toast to the worlds great
est shortstop. Embarrassed, I mo-
toned to him to forget ito sit
down. But he went right on, and
lifting his glass, said:
Ito the worlds greatest short
stop, Hans Wagner Damn if I
didn't feel like a fool. But he was
right-there never was one like
him."
! Someone men@oned Fred Merkle
and how his "bonehead play" ha'
| soured him on life and driven hin
Imperial Valley press., 1935-01-30

to a life of seclusion in Daytona
Beach.
Il was in that game, of course"
Tinker said, but you know Fred
pulled bigger one than that-and
one that never got such publicity.
McGraw told me about it when 1
saw him in New York long before
he died. 1t seems the Giants and
Red Sox had come down to the
final game of a world series-back
around 1912, 1 think-and the Gil
ants, with Matty pitching, were
ahead when the Red SoX went to
bat in the last of the ninth. With
two out, one of the Sox lifted pop
foul.
"Merkle was playing first, and he
never made a move to get the ball,
although it dropped Is feet to his
left. He could have taken 10 steps,
put it in his back pocket, and won
the series. But he never moved and
the Sox went on to tie the score and
win it in extra innings. McGraw
said it was one of the few times he
ever saw Matty so mad he couldn't
talk. When McGraw asked Merkle
about it, Fred said the sun got in
his eyes. McGraw told me it was
cloudy day with no sun, and that
even if there had been a clear day,
it was too late in the afternoon for
it to bother anybody"
Like all old-timers, Tinker thinks
baseball is going to seed because the
players are too refined, are given
too much loving care. He told OF
how the Cubs, when they used to
come to Brooklyn, dressed in the
back of the saloon across the park,
and had two wash tubs to batne in
after the game.

He has five possible sites under
consideration, all of them within 30

In one of its stormiest sessions,
the rulers of boxing took this stand

The commission will not permit
Dempsey to referee the Art Lasky-

 Tomorrow, Christmas day, brings the outstanding screen triumph of the year, "Mutiny On The Bounty" headlining 8 gala Christmas show.
 It is superb achievement in motion pictures, a historical picture as it should be and one that will live for years to come as one of the most exciting sea tales ever screen ed.
 "Mutiny on the Bounty" lives up to all the advance praise that has shouted the pictures merits around the world. Its scenic beauty, some times stark and cruel, is unsurpass- ed. Its cast, headed by Charles Laughton, Clark Gable and Fran- chot Tone, is incompatible. INQI ChI1 t1AC D1 D11l11dA4t 0A CSv4OAA VA Frank Lloyd, still remembered for "Cavalcade," be overlooked. Here is the same sure touch, the swift move- ment, the feeling of realism and in- telligence in mass movement. Never for one second has the director per- mitted the tense adventurous ex- citement of his story to obscure the fact that his players were real, live ing people rather than mere screen automatons.
 A big specially selected Christmas surrounding program accompanies this noteworthy feature presenta- ton. Find time to see it tomorrow or before it closes on Saturday.
 Sunday brings James Cagney in Frisco Kid" and Way Down East with Rochelle Hudson and Henry Fonda.
 A giant New Years Eve midnight show is going to be held at the Strand this year. Watch the news papers for further news about it.
