That was understandable, for Joe
felt that he had not been given
fair deal that he was being
blomed for things over which he
had no control Perhaps his griev-
ances were real, perhaps imaginary.
In any event, the appointment of
Rogers Hornsby to his former post
never sat SO very well with Joe.
Mccarthy Roots for Cubs
While Mccarthy is unwilling to
claim the pennant for his Yankees
at this stage of the race and is
doing everything possible to keep
the machine rolling along at top
speed, it is no secret that he, in
his heart. is pulling for the Cubs
to top the National leaguers. He
would be terribly disappointed if
the title meeting did not material
ize, and he had no opportunity to
present the little (and big) sur
prise he has been planning for his
former charges.
There is another member of the
Yankees who is walking around
with his fingers crossed and hop
ing that the Yankees and Cubs
hook up in the World Series. He is
Pat Malone, the veteran relief
hurler. Mccarthy picked Malone up
after the Cubs had passed him on
to the st. Louis Cardinals, who, in
turn, cast him drift. There is little
likelihood that Pat would have an
opportunity to face his former
teammates unless it be as a relief
hurler. Even that humble role would
be appreciated by Malone.
Aside from the aspect of his own
participation in the World Series
against Charlie Grimm and his
Cubs, it would delight Malone no
end to see his present teammates
in there trying to knock the stuff
ingS out of the Cubs hurting staff.
Pat just smiles when he thinks
what would happen if Gehrig, Di
Maggie, Dickey, Lazzeri, Crosetti
Shelkirk and others of the Yankee
cast were to start swinging their
big bats against the offerings of
Warneke, French, Carleton, Davis
and company. -Four straight for the
Yankees-just as in 1932-is Ma
lone's hope.

DOUGLAS BEATS
ANTLERED HERD
3 BY 6 TO SCORE
M a inning Pitches Great
Game for Islanders on
Their Diamond

Douglas had the pulo.ned horse
shoe back for yesterdays ball game
aga INST the Elks on The Island dia-
mond, but didn't need its help as
they overpowered the Puppies to
2 in seven innings.
Shavey Kisko, Elk singer, was
touched for three doubles, two tri-
plies and seven safeties, just seven
more bingles than the Elks could
connect for off Jimmy Manning's
chucking and right there lay the
difference in the counts
Manning had real control of the
horsehide yesterday and allowed
no walks, while whiting ten
the twenty-six batters to oppose
him. He let down in only two in
nings, the fourth, when Bradley's
doubles followed by MacSpadden's
single scored the first Elk marker,
and the fifth, when a single and
a steal by Rodenburg and Koski's
NAAS tJeioCQ OllC oCCOlld W
square the count
The Islanders had taken a two
to nothing lead in the opening
frame on two-baggers by Jensen
and Mcdonald and singles by Frs
kline and Manning.
Coming back in the last of the
fifth, the Islanders took the ball
game when Roller tripled, Jensen
walked, Williams sacrificed for a
squeeze and Manning doubled to
added two more runs for the Doug
las home towners to send them
into four to two lead.
Douglas got their last pair of
markers in the sixth on three one
basers and Johnny Niemis triple
while Manning set the Elks down
one, two three in the sixth and
seventh to end the fracas.

SPORT SLAN1S

With the New York Yankees rid
ing high, wide and handsome at
the head of the American League
parade, and the Chicago Cubs
threatening to repeat their Ma
tional League pennant triumph of
last year, the possible meeting be-
tween these rivals i'll the World
Series looks mighty intriguing. 1t
would be natural A renewal of
the battles which took place in
1882 would be particularly pleasing
to both parties. And especially to
Manager Joe Mccarthy of the New
York Yankees.
If there is one team in the Ma
tional League Mccarthy would en-
joy meeting-and beating-in the
World Series, that team is the
Chicago Cubs. 1t is only natural
that Mccarthy should welcome a
chance to show off before his
friends in Chicago and at the same
time strike back at the second
guessers who were responsible, in
a measure, for his departure from
Wrigley Field.
There have been changes in the
personnel of both teams. Most of
the old Chicago men have changed
uniforms or have passed out of the
big show, but there are still plenty
of old-timers on hand who would
welcome an opportunity to avenge
the four straight trimmings the
Yankees forced down their Threats
in '32-fellows like Manager Charles
Grimm, Gabby Hartnett and Charlie
Root.
No Ruthian Raids Now
The Cubs haven't forgotten the
humiliation they suffered at the
hands of the Yankees = and, of
Babe Ruth in particular. The Bam-
bino added insult to injury when
he called his shots and made good
his boasts at the expense of Chi
cago pitchers. There would be no
chance to even that little score, for
the big fellow is out of the game.
But there would still be plenty of
satisfaction to be gained by turn
ing the tables on the Yankees.
Nothing would delight Mccarthy
more than to lead his Yankee team,
with its 1896 edition of Murderer's
Row, into the Cubs lair, Wrigley
Field. Whether the present crew is
as devastating as that pummelling
band-Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Bob
Meusel and company-is an open
question, but the 1886 Yankees have
shown that they pack plenty of
dynamite in their bats.
In the recent all-star game
Charlie Grimm led the National
leaguers to victory over their Am
erican League rivals with Joe Nc
Carthy holding the control. Nc
Carthy took the defeat in good
grace, but one could almost imagine
him plotting a neat bit of revenge
should the Cubs and the Yankees
meet in the series this fall.
Mccarthy left Chicago with some
feeling of resentment in his heart.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
A THOUGHT FOR EASTER

From the beginning of time, men have hailed the
coming of Spring the resurrection OF the earth
from the death of Winter. Long before the
Christian Era began, every religious cult celebrat-
ed in one way or another and returning season Of
growth and sunshine with its promise of life be-
vond the grave If the dead trees and grasses
could so demonstrate in mortality, why should man
alone die to rise no more?
In few DAYS the whole Christian world will
ion in testifyng on Easter Sunday, to its faith that
death is not the end that life goes on forever, in
new and unknown but more glorious forms, that VI
earthbound plodders can no more imagine than can
the maple tree the wistaria, shedding its scar
LET robe of Autumn under the killing breath of
Winters frosts, imagine the glory of the Spring
time garments of green which it will wear in its
new life.
The belief that this is true, that there is HE
bevond death, Il life of release from toll and sor-
row for such as truly believe and strive to live UP
TO their belief has been the most powerful force in
the history Of our modern civilization. In This
faith men have found a common tie of mutual SER
vice for the common good. All OF the concepts OF
dutv honor. selfdenia self-respect and loyalty
upon which great nations have been founded de-
rive from the faith which is the very root and
heart of Christianity.
Let no one say that the faith of our fathers IS
outmodeled that it no longer has It's old power t.
inspire our lives. We are living IN trouoIeorS
times and those of little faith crying aloud that
the old truths have failed, the old beliefs are dead
But even as they scott. Spring brings her perennl-
al symbols of the ternal life. And this coming
Easter Sunday millions upon millions of believers
will meet TO testify anew to the truth that their
faith is living faith that it still rules the heart
of man-Burke Free Press.

TRY AT HOME FIRST"

The Cleveland star suggests slogan for SheiDy
shoppers which could well be applied to Morgan
tom "Thy at home first" So often people who
go away from home to patronize larger-town stores
have never even taken the trouble to see II the
hometown merchants supply the gods desired.
81 can't find what want in Morganton' should be
always countered with "Have you tred?' 1t has
happened numbers of times to our knowledge, thar
local woman, wearing dress, or hat, on coat that
she had bought out of town has found (too late)
that she could have bought the identical garment
at home. The local merchants cannot in justice
feel offended if, after you have given them
chance and cannot find what you want or can wear,
you buy away from home This observation ap-
plies to other lines we'll as ready-to-wear, IN
which there is possibly more shopping elsewhere
than for anything else. We venture the assertion
that 90 per cent of the merchandising needs of the
people of Morganton and Burke county can be sup
piled in local stores.
Merchants here are local taxpayers, are them
selves purchasers, contributors to civic enterprises
and charity calls and investors in the town and
county. They help make it possible for US to
have good town and in turn deserve our patron
age to help them maintain their stores and succeed
in business. Do You "try at home first "-Mor-

The hide is thinnest.
Such projects as the Florida
ship canal and Passamaquoddy
have been under suspicion from
the first as to their soundness.
pwA engineers rejected them.
Roosevelt okayed them and there
was plenty of room for belief that
they never would have been APP
proyed unless political angles had
been considered. ,...
They were begun in each case
with $5.O00,000 from the work
relief fund. Then the administra-

the regular budget. The appro-

does not prove anything. 1t is
but another instance of giving
people figures and making them
think they have facts when they
haven't anything.
For instance, suppose 4 hum
bred thousand persons are arrest
cd for violating the law, and that
one per cent or a thousand Of
those persons are out on parole;
you have no basis for any con-
ciusion unless you know the to-
tai number of persons out on pa
role. If the thousand paroled per-
sons arrested were all of the per
sons out on parole that would
look bad for the parole system;
but if they represented only a
small fraction Of the persons out
on parole, that would look better
foe the parole system.
So often a speaker is not try
irg to form their opinions for

CAPITALISM HAS NEED FOR
POPULAR RULE
Nv BRUCE CATION

If your memory is long enough to go
back three OF four years, you doubtless
can recall that there was time when
well-fed Americans were fond OF saying
that what this county needed was MuSs0-
lini ....-
Ii was more or less natural that some
people should say this. When large and
steadily increasing part of the populace has
no work, and when an equally large and
steadily increasing part of industry has no
dividends and sees no chance of getting
them, the institution of private property it
selfis in danger. ....-
A strong man who could step in and
take hold, start the wheels turning, disre-
gard all the red tape of law and tradition,
andsbash in the head of anyone who OBJ
jected-well, such man was bound to
look more or less attractive. ..
AS of today. however, the picture is dill
ferent. Signor Mussolini right now seems
bent, on making al the Americans who
talked that WAY wish they hal said some
thing else. .
By scrapping the last vestige of democ-
racy,in Italy, and dispossessing the owners
of private Industry, he has shown all OF us,
in an unforgettabIe way, Just what you let
yourself in for when you turn to dictator
for help. .....
For dictatorship in the modern manner
does, not exist for the preservation of pri-
vate property. 1t is as needless Of that as
it is aof democracy. 1t serves its own needs
and follows its own course and it is as hos
tile to individualism in the realm of trade
as in the realm of politics.
And that brings us to point that de-
tenders of the existing order of things in
America too often overlook; that private
capitalism and democracy go Ihand III
hand. They are Siamese twins. If one
dies, the other cannot long survive.
During the last half decade or so, we
have had plenty of opportunity to learn
that both private capitalism and demo-
cracy, as practiced in America, have grave
defects Capitalism often is selfish and
blind; democracy often is inefficient and
stupid. But II we remember that the TWO
go together. We may be able to muster the
patience to make the reforms which both
need. ...... ...-..
The ardent left-wing liberal who wants
political freedom made broader and more
secrGe should be a stalwart defender q OF
capitalism; and similarly the, capitalist
moved by human desire to protect his
own, should be one of the most vehement
upholders of democracy. .. .--... ....
ItSis some years since the Russians show
ed us that, when you set out to abolish cap
italism, you have to abolish democracy as
well. Now Mussolini is demonstrating
that, when you abolish democracy, you
wind'up by doing away with capitalism.
