Hetz Out
To Win In
Midget Race

Frank Hetzel, who has been
knocking down first place money
quite regularly in the last few
races, Tuesday night made a final
inspection of his car, and predicted
the combined efforts of all other
midget drivers will not keep him
out of first place Thursday night
Hobart. Herrick. Bill Ferguson and
Fred Salmon. however, sent their
tiny cars through a trial run Tues
day and issued a statement that
Hetzel cannot possibly take better
than fourth place as their cars will
finish one-two-three in Thursdays
event.
Buzzie Busard, of San Diego who
only recently heard of the afeud in
the valley race circles, telegraphed
the Post-Press expressing his views
in regard to Hetzel's chances.
Il can't see how that conceited
guy figures he will win the race
when he knows full well that
will be down there to take part in
the battle ..4 II

starting booming, his. car around
the track at q high rate of speed
was inclined to agree with Mrs.
Swarthout that he looks like
cinch to win the race. III cap

While the midget drivers were
heaping praises on themselves. %
strange group was seen pedaling
around the Midget speedway on
every size and make Of bicycle ever
built. These riders, coached by
Russell Sherwood, appeared in fine
shape and modestly admitted they
would easily beat the opposing
team of riders Thursday night.
Russell Sherwood, was found
seated in the shade of the fence
in a far corner of the Midget speed
way idly throwing pebbles at the
front wheel Of the bicycle he had
been riding. The front wheel of
the cycle, by the way, was badly
smashed

HENRY YELLS FOR ALP
Yodels and Seeks Peak>ScaIing Laurels =
ENDS UP TAKING A vow

1t was the kind of feather you
might pluck from the tail of a
playb0y peacock. With it stuck
jauntily in my hat band, even the
prospect of falling off a glacier
or being caught in the path of an
avalanche didn't seem so bad.
After a few hours Gravel by train,
1 reached Dents Du Midi. Stand
ing behind it, it seemed more
formidable than when seen from
afar.
For moment I toyed with it,
turning my back on it. Finally with
brave sort of yodel I plunged up
it. For two hours I scrambled up
ward enjoying all the sweet thrills
of mountain climbing. I scrambled
on my face and hands through
thorny bushes, peeled the skin off
my knees on rocks and banged my
head on branches of knotty trees.
Then WEAKNESS overcame me and
I knew I must have succor if I
hoped to reach the top But where
could I find aid? / was in a Wild
erness. Then I remembered.
As a schoolboy / had heard of
those Saint Bernard dogs-thOse
kind animals which rode through
the Alps with casks of brandy
around their necks looking for
weary travellers. / climbed on a
rock and started whistIing and
calling for a Saint Bernard.
Here Saint Bernard! Doggie!
Doggiel"
Not even a poodle answered my
cry of distress. Disillusioned and
exhausted, I started my descent.
Late that night when I reached the
hotel, the manager was there to
greet me.
"a glorious view from the peak"
he said. Did you see the ledge
that saved my life?"
Hush, hush," I answered. And
I moved TO another hotel.

Harry Crosby, another favored
entry among the 20 men who will
compete in the air classic, took
off in his Crosby Special yester-
day for the first time since he

Shorty Will.
Meet Tough
Test Friida ay

Willis Shorty" Hogue, one of the
few undefeated amateurs in the
valley, will meet his stiffest test of
the year at the Ell Centre Athletic
club Friday night when he will
meet Jackie Pope, San Diego
featherweight.
Pope, who is quite an artist with
the gloves, has beaten every lead
ing featherweight in San Diego
county at least once. He will be
able to match Hogue in speed,
stamina, offense and defense.
Hogue's only advantage will be
his experience. Shorty's ability to
keep cool when the fighting gets
the toughest may give him vic
tory. A well directed punch in
the midst of wild furry of blows
will be all that Shorty will need
for a win.
Willard Hogue, called Big Boy
because he is two pounds heavier
than his twin brother, meets an
opponent equally as tough as Shor-
tvs foe, when he tangles with Joe
Rivers. r. - - Il,
Rivers, holder, Of the, San Diego
A. @. title, holds a victory over Joe
Garcia. He is a fast puncher and
is particularly effective against the
Hogue twins style of fighting. Be-
cause Willard can suit his style of
attack to best take advantage OF
his opponents defensive weak
nesses, he will probably knock over
the San Diegan.
Jack Morrissette, Brawley mid
dleweight and leading contender for
Graves valley middleweight title,
will take on Joe Gonzales, clever
San Diego fighter in the main
event.
Morrissette, who is showing
better brand of fighting than ever
before, is a slight favorite to take
Gonzales into camp. The San
Diego boy, however, is capable of
pulling out an upset victory.
Model T Stone. on comeback
trail, will cross gloves with Oliver
Coker, Holtville slugger. Model T,
who boasts the consolidated schools
title in Oklahoma, according to a
statement, only recently complet-
ed a correspondence school course
entitled, How to Box in 100 Easy
Lessons, Or Why Not be MANI"
Stone, who took a beating from
Hinson some weeks ago, attribut-
ed the defeat to the fact he was
unable to complete his course. 1t
seems he didn't finish one Of the
most important chapters, "The Best
Defense, Or Don't Get Socked on
The Chin"
With this chapter completely
mastered Model T is ready to do
battle and should he win he will
again challenge Hinson for the
Edgar Brothers lightweight title.

Melvin OFT, slugging outfielder of
the New York Giants, has done
more than his share of work dur
ing the Giants wild drive toward
the National League pennant dur
ing the last few weeks.
OFT, who is 81, has been with the
Giants for II years His major
league career started when he was
. only 16 and in his first year with
the New Workers he hit way above
the 300 mark to lead his team in
OFT has led the National League
in home run hitting four years of

right near the top every season.
Mel, who weighs only 14o, attributes
his success as a long distance hitter
: I'd. perfect timing He meets the
! ball right on the nose and times
the ball SO he will get the max
imum distance on each swing.
Thus. far in the season OFT has
banged out % home runs to lead
the league and has knocked in more
, runs than any other National
Lacquer.
His long distance clouting has
pulled many game out Of the fire
Tor the Terrymen this season. In
a doubleheader against Chicago last
Sunday OFT poled out his twenty
eighth four-ply blow with two men
on in the first of the ninth inning.
The Giants were trailing 6-5 at
the time but his hit pulled out the
game 8-6.
Otis accomplishments are not
limited to his batting He is one
of the best ball hawks in the cir
cult and covers as much territory
as any fielder in the loop.

The kind of ball that has been

Representative Blauton, Democrat,

ever, 268 pages of "the red rider" tes-
timony which previously had been
printed in connection with hearings
on the 1887 District supply bill. These
268 pages were introduced during
hearings on the Sisson bill.
Blanton asked the unanimous con-
sent of the House to have printed
separately 1000 copies of the 26S
pages, but Representative Marcan-

EXPERTS PENSION
REPORT IS READY
Plan Designed to AIIay
Fears for Private Systems
to Be Submitted.
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
Bitterest OF battles tOaged In Con-
gress during consideration OF So
cinl security latU last year iDGs that
on issue OF protecting pension
plans of private companies. Many
OF these, built up oUer period OF
many years. carry promise OF
greater return to old employees
than maximum provided in Fed
eral old-nge pension plan.
After conference deadlock OF
many weeks, friends OF private sys-
TENS yielded Dith understanding
that recess committee toould study
,oays OF amending social security
law to exempt such systems. With
out such exemption, seUeral big
companies already haze announced
they mould abandon private plans
rather than bear double burden.
BY the Associated Press.
After months of study, experts will
soon submit to a congressional COM
mittee a plan designed to allay fears
that private pensions systems would
disappear under the social security
plan.
The experts have been working un-
der the direction of special joint
congressional committee since the last
session of Congress.
Purpose of the study is to protect
hundreds of existing company-pension
systems, some of which have been in
operation for years and have built up
large reserves.
Senator Clark. Democrat. of Mis-
souri, sought to add an amendment to
the social security law to exclude them
from its operation, but administra-
tion leadsrs rejected the proposal on
the ground 1t might wreck the pro-
posed Nationwide pension system.
Contributions Provided.
The social security law provides
that, beginning next year, employers
and employees must each contribute
sums equal to per cent Of the work.
ers' salaries up to $4,000 year. The
money will 90 into the national re-
serve system. from which pensions
will be paid. The contributions will
be increased every three years until
they reached per cent for en-
ployers and 3 per cent for employees by
le49.
Clark contended that with these
contributions required by the Gov.
ernment. it would be impracticable for
companies to continue the private
pension systems now in effect and
that the workers would therefore lose
the protection now afforded them
under these systems. He sought to
exempt from the compulsory contri-
buttons such companies and workers
as are covered by private plans.
Experts Ready to Report.
Government experts have been con-
sulting with representatives of pri.
vate companies and insurance ex-
perts in an effort to work out q
compromise plan under which the
private funds could continue without
with the national scheme.
They are now about ready to re-
port and Chairman King, Democrat,
Of Utah said he would call a meet
ing Of the Joint committee within a
few days. Neither he nor other COM
mittee members knew what the ex-
perts would propose.
Unless the plan should meet with
the approval OF the administration,
leaders said it had little chance for
consideration at this session.
