The Bigger Gamble.


A S BETWEEN the Cardinals and the
- Cubs there is much more of a
gamble. I like the Cardinals first
string better. But the Cardinals
haven't the reserve strength of the
Cubs, who are much better equipped
for run of tough luck.
The two Deans should be good for
IS games. Parmelee and Hallahan
always are guesses. They have the
stuff, but the stuff doesn't count un-
less you can get it over the plate.
There isn't any question that Chi
cago's Cubs have the stronger all
around outfit for a l54-game gallop.
But when you have on one ball club
such possibilities as the two Deans,
Pepper Martin, Joe Medwick, Frank
Frisch, Rip Collins, Leo Durocher-to
mention only few-you have some
thing.
Either the Giants or Pirates can
get the breaks and crowd into the
middle of this pleasant scene. But
they look about neck and neck for
third just at this moment.

Cites Weakness of Tigers.

"T>AKE a club like the Tigers, fol
instance" pointed out the ole
gent. 1T figures to be in the thicl
of the pennant fight all the way
But if one or two valuable men are
hurt Detroit is liable to collapse, just
like our 1884 team did, and only be-
cause they don't have the reserves.
They don't have an experienced
fellow to fill in for Greenberg, for in
stance, or any other infielder. What

ringer or Rogell? They've Clifton
but how can he compare with Ossie
Bluege or Red Kress for utility work?
Why, we could even stick Bobby
Estalella in the lineup and at least
be sure of a batting punch.
In the outfield they have couple
of old fellows in Goslin and Simmons
and the only requirements are Walker
and White. I don't know who Bucky
Harris is going to use as our regular
right fielder. but, regardless of whether
Stone or Reynolds or Miles is sitting
on the bench, any two of 'em will
give oO GO ALON41 OoO1lCAOil16 4COC1 VIC
strength as any other club.
THE Yanks, I figure, are in even
worse shape for reserves. Gehrig,
for instance, has great consecutive
game record, but they're gambling by
letting Hassett and McQuinn get
away. AS for the rest of the infleld
reserves, who have they got? No.
body. If anything happens to Cro-
setti or Lazzeri that New York club
would have a tough time.
II figure that if injuries are going
to play an important part in this
race, we've got a chance to finish
most anywhere. If Buddy Lewis is
hurt or needs rest we can play
Bluege or Estalella and get a fine
job from either. Kress or Bluege
can do a good job at short or second
or first. Both could even play the
outfleld. if necessary, but with a pair
like Miles and Reynolds, or Miles and
Stone, or Reynolds and Stone hang
ing around on the bench, we won't
have to worry there.
NdtS NCcO OTOOHliuS.
"REHIND the bat Miles gives up
pretty good catcher to help
Cliff Bolton. And for a short stretch
Starr will do a great receiving Job.
Il hope this club of ours won't
need to fall back on our reserves too
much, but if it does we won't be hurt,
at least not nearly so badly as any
other club in the league"
In the meantime, unless the weather
breaks, neither the Nationals first
stringers or reserves are going to see
much action. The rain and washed
out exhibition games are beginning
to hurt now, especially in view of the
10-to-2 licking by the Dodgers We'd

five preceding days of idleness had

course, Cancelled the second tilt with
the Dodgers and with only three more

the Nationals will need all the good

EMERGENCY CREW
HELD AMONG BEST
Griffith Certain His Club
Would Go Well Though
Regulars Be Hurt.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.


~LARK GRIFFITH. who had
been keeping pretty well out
4 of this preseason expert
~ ing" up til now, finally
dipped in his oar today and observed
that if the 1886 American League race
seriously is affected by physical mis-
haps it might be good idea not to
sell the Nationals too short.
The Old Fox, by his observation,
does not mean to convey the impress
sion that Washingtons 1886 diamond
edition is a red-hot pennant con-
tender. ITS little young and doubt
full on pitching" confessed Griff,
"but I'll say one thing-if ever during
the pennant race there's general
pressing need for reserve strength the
Washington club might spring a real
surprise.
Il mean by this. before you write
out a ticket on where our bunch Is
going to finish, weigh the value OF the
best reserves in base ball-American
League, National League or any other
league. It's something that's being
overlooked"
Griff's okay on his reserve talent
might we'll bear notice. When Bucky
Harris led the 1924 Nationals to the
Capitals first pennant and only world
championship the Old Fox supplied
himself with a generous bunch OF
reserves who played big roles in the
clubs success. In 1925 it was the
same story. When Joe Cronin led the
1888 club to the pennant it was with
the capable help Of such as Dave
Harris, Sam Rice, Cliff Bolton and Moe
Berg. Now it's another Al reserve
band that Griff is touting higher than
any benchful of second-stringers in
all haSe hall

GOOD ADVICE TO VETERANS

Brig Gen. Frank T. Hines, Veterans
Administrator, gave the Disabled Amer
lean Veterans some good advice when he
recently spoke to them in convention as
sembled at Milwaukee, and his words are
worth the reading of all veterans of for
mer wars.
Calling attention to the fact that the
government is spending nearly $500, 00O,-
600 a year in benefits for OF to veterans of
past wars and that more than half of it
goes to World War veterans, the admins
TRAITOR urged caution in recommending any
increased benefits to former soldiers.
We have no idea that any citizens Of
this country object to the sums that are
being paid to veterans who have been in
jured in past wars or to the dependents of
those who lost their lives in the service of
their country, but there is increasing dis
satisfaction over the threatened drive for
general pensions, applicable to all who
served in war, whether they were hurt or
not.
Gen. Hines reminded his hearers that
the government, having met its obligation
to the veterans, must meet it's obligation to
it's creditors. He did not point out that it
must also meet an obligation to its tax
payers, but this fact should not escape gen
eral notice.

PROBATION AVOIDS CANCER

H." That national efficiency is greatly
diminished by disease is so we'll known that
the statement needs no citations to win APP
prevail. At the same time, few of us
realize the ravages of individual diseases.
For example, the actual money loss,
due to cancer alone, is estimated to be as
much as $8OO,OOO,OOO in one year in the
United States. Aside from the money loss
there is intense suffering among the vic
Tins of this malady.
1t is estimated that three fourths of it
all could be avoided if small growths were
not ignored by so many people. The moral
is, when these things exist, see a doctor at
once. Cancer, at certain stage, cannot be
cured, but, in its incipiency, it can very
often be successfully and permanently re-
moved.

/ litical control At least this was the
| Interpretation that farmers gave to
the movement AS a result. 1905. 900
bales of cotton were produced N
1881. This was the largest production
of cotton with the exception OF one
year in 80 years. Likewise the largest
crops of wheat and tobacco were
produced in 1891 that had been pro-
duced for thirty years with the ex-
ception Of one year.
In 1926 farmers produced 1922
374 bales Of cotton. and the price Of
cotton fell The next year the pro-
duction fell to 12,956.000 bales. In
1925, the production Of tobacco
reached LIST. 100000 pounds The
price fell, and in 1926 production fell
to 1927 1886. 900 pounds The produc-
ton was adjusted to price under nat
ural law control
While farmers produced under con-
stitutlonal freedom the facts show
that they made a sane adjustment Of
production to demand There was no
farm products disparity as is claimed
Everything possible under Ameri-
can ideals should be done to encour-
age agriculture and assist the farm
er. There is very broad field open
here for useful service by the gov
eminent. But the farmer must be
dealt with as an equal not as an in
ferior. and agriculture must main
tain its status of equality as COM
pared with all other occupations
To build up theory on a false
foundation that agriculture is q low
order of business and is unable TO
maintain itself without help from
without, and that the farmer must
be treated as an object Of charity, is
TO degrade agriculture and impose
an outrageous curse on the Ameri-
can farmer. To convert the Ameri-
can farmer from a state of indepen-
dence into condition Of dependence.
living, in large measure on charity
extorted from the millions Of Ameri-
can consumers, is nothing less than a
national tragedy. If this policy con-
;inueS, farmers will be discredited by
all who live by the sweat o. their
faces. and will be more and more re.
garded as belonging to the depen-
dent classes
