Ex-MayOr Announces
Reelection Program
In Coming Campaign

Al vision Of Seattle as the San
Francisco Of the Pacific North
west; Seattle where men can find
employment, and a Seattle where
municipal government Is conduct
ed with maximum of economy
and a minimum Of waste and Of
graft.
This is the picture painted by
John f. Dore In his candidacy for
mayor at the primary election on
February 25.
Dore opened his campaign with
a meeting at the Eagles Auditori-
UNI last Friday night, and although
it was the coolest night Of the win
ter, more than two thousand peo-
pie braved the elements to cheer
his maiden speech Other thous-
ands listened to his talk on the ra-
dio.
Dore flayed the present admin
stration of the mayors office, and
called attention to the fact that
while San Francisco and other cit
les are financing major improve
ments with government monies.
Seattle is not even able to repair
the Ballard Bridge or finance a
bridge to Mercer Island. He cr-d-
cized the closing Of the police sub
stations and the reduction in the
police department while burglars,
safe-crackers, and murderers went
unpublished.
He called attention to some Of
the accompi shments of his admin
istration, among them being his
reduction Of taxes; his one hour
universal street car transfer which
the present administration tried to
abolish; his saving Of $500, 900 on
garbage collection costs and the
income from the telephone COM
pany for the use of city streets, a
privilege they had enjoyed free for
years.
bore agreed to serve the city a.
/ gain for a salary of $4,000 instead
Of the $500 which the present
mayor receives.
Dore has arranged q series Of
meetings in every part Of Seattle,
and win probably close his cam
paign with another big downtown
rally.

, in battle whose last living request
was for eth makin's" with which
to roll his own.
Couldn't Be Done
Yea, 9TH Makin's" was wearing
a whimsical little half-sick look.
He had just talked with Frank
LaFalce, major domo of the War.
ner Brothers interests here in
Washington. who had nothing but
bad news.
LaFalce had estimated that it
w0Nld cost $500 to film the Is
round fight between Miller and
Sarron, but doubted If that much
could be made distributing the
picture within the shallow con-
fines Of the District Of Columbia.
The laws governing the diStri.
button Of moving pictures of pro-
fessional prize fights, Miller was
reminded, is an Interstate Com
merce provision. The actual Of
tense is not showing such films,
but transporting them across State
boundaries.
Thus, films Of fights occurring
in Washington are available leg
ally for distribution only within
the borders Of the District, and
anyone exporting them herefrom
into such States as Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Delaware, New Jersey or
New York, would be flirting with
Atlanta, Lewisburg or for all he
might know, Alcatraz.
Sponsor Is Lacking
Then, on top Of that, 9TH
Makin'S" has also been reminded
by one Of the major broadcasting
firms that they were willing to
broadcast the fight as a sustaining
program only, which, in effect
means, that so far no commercial
sponsor for the fight had put in
appearance.
So here is a matter of several
thousand dollars that Heinie had
hoped might accrue to the Boys
Club treasury, which will not be
forthcoming.
80 But, before passing on his way,
he took a hitch in his belt, tripped
a sort Of a sailors hornpipe and
declared that it only meant that
the police and the people of Wash
ington generally, will have to CO.
operate just a little more in absorb
ing the 10000 tickets that are be-
ing peddled through the various
precincts.
incidentally. Sarron is already
on the scene and in training for
the fight which he hopes will cul-
inmate in his being crowned
featherweight champion of the
world. The boys have met twice
before and each time some odd
twist of fate deprived Petey Of
his LIES ambition-that title.
Next month at Clark Griffith
Stadium, however, Petey declares
there will be a different verdict.
Working out at the bus terminal
gymnasium in Alexandria twice
this week, Petey will adopt q daily
schedule starting Monday which
will be carried right up to two
days before the fight. ,,t.'
The Washington times., 1936-04-18

Plans for every sport are in the
making right now. For example,
work has been started on the new
Trojan oval, at the corner Of Oates
Street and Maryland Avenue. A
baseball diamond will be laid out
on this oval in addition to tennis
courts, a golf driving range and a
volley ball court.
Next fall the baseball part Of
the field will be used for football
and soccer.
Concentration ON Baseball
AS baseball is the chief piece de
resistance, the Trojans are con-
centrating all efforts on the, dia.

Three teams will be put on the
field, one in the midget class, an.
other in the junior division and

Rabbit WarStler singled in thu
third inning and frankie Higgins
blasted a home run into the left
field stands in the sixth. In the
last three innings DeShong set the
Mackmen down in order. and re-
tired Finney, Dean and Mailho
ninth-inning pinch hitters, on in
field taps.
In the first inning DeShone
passed Moses, and. followed with
two grand and glorious wild pitches
that enabled the Mack outtielder
to score. DeShong gave three
passes in the first inning, and fol
lowed with two more in the third
These latter gifts, following q
single, filled the bases.
RuShes Linke to Bull Pen
Bucky Harris rushed Eddie
Linke to the bull pen to warm up.
DeShong emerged from his diff
cultieS in the third, and thereafter
allowed one hit, a home run by
Higgins.
DeShong's performance was
highly creditable in any company
and under any conditions. It be-
comes more remarkable in view
Of the fact that Jimmy spent a
restless night, racked with chillS
and feeling as miserable as a man
can feel when grippe begins its
ravageS.
If looking for trouble, one might
conjure up a drab picture Of what
might have happened had the
Athletics been able to make a hit
in the first or third innings. The
fact remains that they didn't
make a hit, nor did they come
close to making a hit. The fact
remains that a boy who was feel
ing far from fit stopped them with
two hits and pitched brilliantly.
Taking for granted that Earl
Whitehill will be in his usual form
