Highlights of the
News During
This Week.
by FREDERICK MATSON-
Times Financial Writer

THE Columbia Gas and Electric
Il Co, in conference with city
officials Tuesday. made the first
definite move toward furnishing
the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility
with natural gas No direct bid was
made, but prompt action was urged
in negotiating for a contract. c. I.
Weaver, Columbia vice president,
pointed out that last year the
pipe lines we're begging for bust
ness, but at present the opposite is
true
These proceedings recall the I'M
needed advice Of local manufacture
ers and others familiar with the
situation that the city arrange for
natural gas before issuing revenue
bonds with which to acquire the
plant and property Of the Citizens
Gas Co. If Utilities District direc-
t0rE had then made a definite con-
tract with Columbia or some other
firm for natural gas at satisfac-
tory price. contingent on the citys
taking over the property. the city
would not now be handicapped in
its bargaining.
Several facts subStantiate this
contention, observers point out.
The Panhandle Eastern Pipeline
Co. Columbia affiliate which
claims TO have the only adequate
supply for the Middle West, re-
Gently signed a contract with De-
troit City Gas Co. to service De-
trOlt with natural gas.
The Panhandle firm asserts that
this contract and others expected
to be signed with Indiana cities
along the route to Detroit viii fill
the capacity of its pipeline. This
situation, it is explained, makes
Columbia interests practically in
dependent of the Indianapolis mar
ket anG puts them in position to
FIX their own price.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-09-28

IF the city had bargained for
Il supply Of natural gas before it
acquired the Citizens Gas plant,
many persons believe that natural
gas companies then would have
offered a very low price in order to
induce the city to take over the
plant and promptly begin purchas-
ing natural gas. since it was gen.
er ily understood that the Citizens
Gas Co. was not favorable to the
use of such gas.
This argument is now lost, be-
cause the city is in possession of
the gas property. The natural gas
companies apparently realize that
the use Of their product is essen
tial to the Utilities District to en-
able it to operate the utility at
profit and at the same time serv-
ice the 100000 of revenue bonds
now outstanding.

spread Of scholastic radicalism
has been causing grave concern
among the alumni.
Mr.. Cardoza, member OF the
New York bar and a cousin OF
Justice Cardoza, of the United
States Supreme Court, expressed
his views in a telegram he sent
from French Lick Springs to sec"
rotary Lovejoy, Of the Columbia
Alumni Federation.
The message was his response
to a memorandum sent out by Mr..
Lovejoy that graduates were re-
voking requests and refusing to
send their sons to the university
because of the spread Of Left
wing tendencies on Morn1ngslde
Heights.
Mr.. Lovejoy refused to make
the wire public: but Mr.: Cardoza
was reached over the telephone.
He said:
81 told Secretary LOvejOy In
my telegram that / have vigOr-
OusIy opposed communism at
Columbia and its apparent
growth. I also reminded him
that the class Of 'S9, at its re-
union last year, deplOred the

Fat Eddie Went Away"

THEY'RE that way now, as matter
of fact. Earl Whitehill, who
hurled the Griffs to victory Tuesday,
will be available and comparatively
fresh for one of tomorrows games,
but for the other Harris must use
Buck Newsom, who pitched against
the Tigers Wednesday and against
the Red Sox last Saturday and
Sunday.
For Sundays twin-bill Bucky has
announced that Phil Hensiek, who
wasn't used as anything but relief
slabman for Albany, will get a start
ing chance. Linke, too, must start
Sunday.
For four innings yesterday Linke
never looked better, holding the
Bengals to one hit while he and his
mates blasted Tommy Bridges for a
three-rm lead in the third inning.
In the fifth frame Linke began to
weaken, in the sixth he was stagger-
ing and the Detroits tied. In the
seventh Ed went away. In the eighth
the Bengals teed of on Hensiek,
scored three runs and caused the re-
cruit from Albany to be charged with
q defeat in his first major league ap-
pearance.
All the damage the Nationals could
do after the third frame was to
Tommy Bridges knee. In the eighth
inning Cecil Travis shot terrific liner
to the box and the ball struck little
Tommy just above the kneecap.
Bridges threw out Travis. then COL
lapsed. Finally he managed to hobble
10 the dugout. but Elon Hogsett fin
ished the game.

IF WALTER JOHNSON, recently
deposed as pilot of the Cleveland
ball club, Is to go back to the
l. organization next year as its gen.
eral manager, Alva Bradley. the clubs
owner, knows nothing of it. Or so
Bradley insists.
In a telephone conversation with
The Star today the Cleveland owner
not only emphatically denied the pub
lished rumor that johnson will sue
coed Billy Evans in general charge of
the Indians next year, but also stated
that johnson is not taking any ones
job on the Cleveland club"
Evans contract as general manager
of the Indians terminates this year.
Johnson, recently relieved of the man
agership and made a general scout of
the club. now Is at his new home in
Germantown, Md. johnson has de-
MED any knowledge of his likely ap-
pointment as general manager.
Emphatic in Denial.
BRADLEY declared he had just three
things to say concerning the
rumor of Johnson's accession to the
general managers job.
First, am not coming to Wash
ington to see Johnson" the Cleveland
owner said. (The published rumor
had announced Bradley would be here
today or tomorrow for a conference
Second, Billy Evans still has job
with the club and I have no inten-
ton of letting him out. He is not
resigning, quitting or getting fired.
Third, johnson is not taking any
ones job on the club.
IT think I have made myself clear
on this rumor stuff" he added 1T
sounds to me like some newspaper
mans double-header dream"
From the foregoing it would seem
that Bradley and his associate owners
Of the Cleveland Club are we'll salts
fed with the manner in which Evans
has been conducting the business end
Of the club.
He has built up the present team

Bradley. Walter, Still Friends.
A CLEVELAND correspondent Of
The Star reported today that in so
far as johnson is concerned, Bradley
said: Il believe Walter is happier in
his present environment than he has
been for several years. We still are
very fast friends, and if 1 can ever
do him a good turn I will be happy
to do So believe he feels the same
way about me and our directors.
But I am not going to Washington
to see him, and neither is he sue

ager"
Only yesterday Steve O'Neill, sue
cessor to johnson as manager of the
Indians, signed contract to manage
the team for the remainder of the
season. According to the Associated
Press ONeill said "it was a mere for
mality, as We discussed a contract
August and everything has been
perfectly satisfactory"
The Associated Press also reported
that Bradley said "O'Neill has my
best wishes. While the contract is
only for the remainder of the season,
1 told ONeill 1 hope that everything
will continue to go along in a w.
that will make the future take care a

ETROIT, Mich, August 10
When mild-mannered Ossie
J Bluege was tossed out of a
ball game in Chicago in June
for protesting one of Brick Owens
decisions the Nationals suspected that
the American League umpiring was
bad. But that wasn't all.
Now I know it's lousy" remarked
Manager Bucky Harris after yester-
days game. For the first time since
I've known the kid, and for the first
time since any of the other boys
have played with and against him,
Cecil Travis got mad. Not only that,
but he actually cursed when George
Moriarity ruled Marvin Owen safe
at third in the last inning"
Travis had plenty Of reason to ex-
press a few choice words. With the
score 3-3, Owen doubled to open the
Detroit eighth. Ray Hayworth, bat
ting for Bridges, hunted to Phil Hen
sick, who threw to Travis. The young
third baseman tagged Owen several
feet from the bag, or so it looked from
all over the park. But Moriarity
ruled the runner safe.
Instead Of his usual, Gosh, Mr..
Moriarity, I tagged him easy" the
kid infielder cut loose with a Dam
NIT it all, but he was out by a mile.
What does guy have to do? Knock
a base runner out?"
The decision. putting men on first
and third, caused the Washington in
field to play in close and so Charley
Gehringer's grounder between Kuhel
and Myer, which otherwise would
have been double-play ball. went
for a single and scored the winning
run.

Helen Moody Kno,cs Food, but Can't Cook 1t;
Has Many Interests, but None Equals Tennis
BY RUSSELL J. NEWLAND,

- AN FRANCISCO, August 16.-
49, Helen Wills Moody is known as
queen of the tennis courts, but
- she is only a lady in waiting"
in her own kitchen.
She never baked cake in her life.
Admittedly she is poor cook"
But I'm interested in the theory
of cooking" the young matron, who
upset Helen Jacobs and the tennis
apple cart of Wimbledon a few weeks
ago, smilingly explained today.
Mrs Moody prepares breakfast Tor
herself and family, which includes
Husband Fred Moody, jr., and two
priced dogs Like most modern ca
mines, her dogs get their sustenance
out of tin can.
Collecting Recipes a Hobby.
ONE of her hobbies is collecting reci-
" pes. She picked up her two latest
in London. one for English loaf cake
and the other for chicken ring with
white sauce. She has recipes from
Japan, France, Hawaii. The Moodys'
woman cook knows her gastology.
Aside from tennis. which is almost
as much of her life as eating and
sleeping. Mrs Moody has many other
interests. She has sketched for years
and recently she became camera en-
thuSiaSt.
Although interested in politics. she
refuses to get overly excited about it.
She has Republican leanings" and
thinks the party leaders had better
get busy" She follows current events
closely, but invariably turns to the
sports page first for the latest tennis
comment.
The game of golf recently stirred up
new interest in the tennis cham
pion.
Perhaps I shall take up golf after
I am through with tournament ten
MIS-" she said. Il had a golf lesson
aboard ship while returning from
Europe and really enjoyed it. I saw
Joyce Wethered play recently. and she
made it look so easy I would like to
try it myself"

WHEN Linke was removed under
w fire yesterday as the Tigers got
q 6-to-3 decision over the Griffs to
take 2-to-1 edge in the series which
ends today it marked the thirteenth

Surely Harris hardly can be blamed
for searching for the reason and the
remedy.
Linke's failure to develop into a
capable pitcher this season not only
adds to Harris worries for next year
but comes as terrific blow now. AS
far away as ever from climbing out

the Griffs tomorrow face probably
