MANAGER KILLEFER OF the
1Vl lTribesters is not due at the
stadium until about Feb. IS when
player contracts are TO be mailed.
All papers have been prepared by
Miller but with the main item yet
to be filled in by the Tribe chieftain
the important salary figures.
The Indians training arrange
ment calls for a long session in
Florida TO be followed by tour Of
the South. The squad will be held
to one workout on their home
grounds prior to opening day. The
team is to reach Indianapolis the
morning of April 1l-and the next
afternoon the official bell rings.

With the announcement in Boston
yesterday that the Braves had been
re named the Bees, the sports
writer's put up an awful buzz try
ing to invent wise cracks. It's a
good guess though that the name
will be changed to Beetles unless
the tail-end ball club perks up. The
team has dwelled in the cellar so
long now that the players have the
hives.

A ND NOW for a bee story. At
L n old Washington Park in Indi-
annapolis one afternoon, Outfelder
Walter Rehg was at the plate trying
to get base hit when a bee picked
him out for choice victim to an
noy. The insect circled Rehg'S
shoulders and emitted the we'll
known menacing buzz. Umpire Jim
Murray called time and shooed off
the insect, saying: "One bug up
here at time is enough" and glared
at Rehg And then the infuriated
Walter struck out.

Indiana Favored Over Fast
Blue Grass Quintet.

Times Special
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 31.-Big
Ten collegiate basketball comes to
Louisville tonight when Indiana
University, now leading the Big Ten
Conference, invadeS the Blue Grass
with the University of Louisville as
its opponent. The game is to be
played at the local Columbia Hall.
Turning from state competition,
the u of l.. squad, which is among
the upper few in the K. I. A. G.
title race, will attempt to do what
is considered practically impossible
overthrow Indiana. Only one loss
this season mars an otherwise per-
fectly clean slate for the Hoosiers,
DePaul topping Indiana early in
January.
Among the Hoosier stars who
should cause much concern for the
Louisville netters are Bob Etnire,
forward; Fred Fechtman, center:
Wendell Walker, top-notch guard of
Vincennes, and Lester Stout of Win
amac. Coach Everett Dean prob
ably will start his first team.

In an effort to take this link out
of the red members launched an
investigation which also is to in
clude the general condition of all
courses and the advisability of
changing the supervision plan.
II Coffin can not be made to pay
its way member Albert Gisler has
said he will favor a plan to abolish
the course and make it part of
Riverside Park.
Erases Other Profits
''It would be strictly good busi-
ness to do this" he declared. The
Riverside and Pleasant Run courses
show combined profit of $4098 for
1885, but it is more than eaten up
by our loss here"
South Grove, Sarah Shank and
Douglass also showed losses last
season, according to the department
report
Lost golf balls are causing most
of the trouble, j. E. Perry, park
engineer, said During 1880, before
the Coffin layout was changed, the
course had a profit of $1524. It was
closed for two years, while the Park
Department spent approximately
$4,000 to change the layout and
improve it.
This had to be done. Mr.. Perry
declared, because 80 acres out of
the middle of the old course were
sold to the syndicate which turned
the land over to the Veterans Hos
pital,
Scene of National Tourney
Many of the holes were built near
White River, tees we're set back and
a championship layout was con-
structed. The course was the scene
of the 1885 National Public Links
tournament.
But the buffers, the Sunday golf
ers with four rusty irons and a
driver, didn't like the change. 1t
was too hard to make a creditable
score, and the golfers spent too
much money driving balls into water
and gulleys.
Figures show that only half as
many played on the course last
before the change was made. The
better public links players liked it,
but apparently there were not
enough of these to make the course
pay.
In addition, Mr. Perry explained,
it is the most costly course in the
local system to maintain.
Wood lands border most of the
holes, and a small army of men
must be kept working there every
fall TO clear the greens of fallen
leaves. The green's are much larger
than those of other courses, Mr..
Perry said, and these must be kept
up.
The present green's fee charge is
so cents. The board considered re-
ducing the price, but it was feared
this would bring protests from play
erS on other courses.
The board also plans to put the

mission are regarded as being suffi-
cient, if intelligently used, to prevent
any such runaway market as de-
veloped in 1929; though the stock
market naturally reflects increased
business prosperity, and the price of
stocks is based, in the main, upon
the business outlook.
Pay and Hours Problem
What Washington fears is that it
may be found difficult or impossible
to prevent drastic rises in the prices
of the ordinary commodities of life,
especially in view of the growing
strength of the demand for higher
wages and shorter hours for workers
in industry.
There is a very real conflict now
in progress on a number of fronts
Between those who accept the view
that high wages and free competi-
ton are not incompatible with low
prices to consumers, and those who
still believe in the price-maintenance
policy which underlay the N.R.A.
Those who hold that the general
welfare is best served by fixing re-
tail prices to consumers received

1887 may reach $1,000 900, 900 on
business confidence which permits
borrowing for plant expansion.
This estimate "a conservative
one if the capital markets really get
under way after years of being al
most frozen-is based on the fact
that financing this year was around
the $5,OO0,O 900, 900 mark and that fl
nancing projects now on file for
1887 total more than 1926, 100000.
The great majority of financing
projects this year came in the re-
funding category as major corpora
tions sought to take advantage of
lower interest rates now prevailing
Record lows for industrial loans
were established, communities bor-
rowed at the lowest rates in history
and some of the largest bond offer
ings in history came to the market.
But there was no great amount OF
capital sought for plant expansion,
although some of the refunding op-
erations included specific allotments
for business improvement.
Another indication which gave be-
lief that a sharp rise will come in
corporation borrowing-carrying the
total beyond the 1890 LEVELS in
the nine month period this year.
Sinie negotiations went into effect
under the securities act of 1888 a
total of 1890, $780, 900 had been filed
Nogales international., 1936-12-31

through October, according to re-
port of the securities and exchange
commission. Of this total $4,100,-
100000 was filed in the first nine
months of 1886, showing the sharp
improvement in confidence that
permits corporation borrowing.
Utilities have been the most con-
sistent borrowers in the last few
months, mainly through refunding
operations.
The biggest bond issue of the
year-and the largest single issue
in history-was made by the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, which issued SITS, 100000 OF
3A per cent debentures in a refund
ing operation.
This was followed by an issue OF
$3.50, ,000,00 a few weeks later. Co
ing into 1887, the biggest issue
scheduled is also from a utility
company-$130, 100000 of 81 per
cent bonds of the Philadelphia
Electric Company. In addition
bankers expected that utility com
panies next year will undertake
some of the expansion and improve,
ment plans which have been held in
abeyance as result of uncertainty
over various utility legislation. This
should expand utility borrowing.
The improvement in railroad traf-
fic has resulted in the heaviest rail-
road equipment buying since 1923
this year. Naturally such buying
entirely necessary but held back as
utilities faced deficits year after
year-requires financing and the
railroads many become borrowers in
a fairly big way next year while
corporation expansion plans are
many and will require financing.

PREPARATIONS
FOR MASQUERS
PLAY LAUNCHED
(C0ntributed)

Actual preparation for the next
Masquer play, might of January
16th," to be given at the Lyric
Theater on the evening of February
18TH is now definitely under way,
The producers have received the
required copies of the play itself,
several of which are now on file at
the Nogales Public Library, where
they may and should be read by
everyone interested in appearing in
the production.
The Masquers have formulated
plans for the choice of a cast on
the evening of January 9Th at the
Lyric Theatre, and intensive re-
hearsals will start Immediately. The
design and construction of the nee
cessary scenery will also begin in
the immediate future; this work is
fascinating in it's own right, and
presents numerous technical and
practical problems. Publicity, CO.'S
tune, and sale activities likewise
are in progress of formulation.
There are relatively large num-
ber of characters in the play, a
circumstance tending to tighten the
actors load, increase the problem of
the producers, and greatly heighten
it's appeal to the public. The char
acterizations range from straight
parts to roles of considerable COM
plexity, and present an opportunity
to numerous persons to choose a
part fitting their desires.
The play is replete with innova-
tions, surprise, and suspense. The
central problem is single-Who kill
ed Bjorn Faulkner?-but the attend
ant details are so puzzling as to
challenge the ingenuity of the entire
audience. The answer, strange th,>
it be, is not within the control of
the players or the producers; but
an answer will be made.
The Masquers will formally an
nounce at the tryouts the nature and
framework of the association, and

considerable announcement wher
the Supreme Court UNANIMOUSLY oo-
clared constitutional the laws of
Illinois and California permitting
manufacturers of trade marked
goods to fix the price at which re-
tailers must sell them.
A similar law in New York State
had been declared unconstitutional
by the State Court of Appeals, but
the Supreme Court of the United
States now holds that any state has
authority to abolish price-cutting to
consumers by this means. Fourteen
states now have laws of a similar
nature. It is anticipated here that
the project of a Federal resale price
maintenance law will be revived.
Industrial Progress Move
What is looked upon as a move
in that direction, if not actually a
revival Of N. r. A., is the trend de-
veloped at the recent conference
held here under the direction of
Major George L. Berry, the Presi-
dents Coordinator for Industrial
Cooperation.
Even though definite plan did
not come out Of this Council for In
dustrlal Progress, and many import
and leaders of business and industry
were not represented, resolutions
were adopted recommending the re-
establishment of something like the
old N. R. A., with agreements be-
tween labor and employers on
wages and hours, and on fair trade
practices among business interests
in the same lines.
This cannot be accepted as the
Administration plan, but it is the
basis upon which, it is believed, the
Administration will attempt to re-
establish N. r. AS basic principles
The major weakness, as many
large business enterprises see it, is
that it's control and direction are
under a labor leader. Major Berry
is president of the international
Pressmen's Union AS result very
few of the important industries of
the nation took part in the confer
ence. While that conference was on
the National Association Of Manu-
facturers was staging Congress Of
American Industry in New York. A
new spirit in the thinking of busi-
ness in public relations was mani
tested, as the speakers pledged CO.
operation with Washington and
promised to meet Government at
least half way, in promoting eco
nomic security for workers, greater
employment and better wages and
working conditions.
The general purposes Of the New
Deal were approved, though all of
it's methods were not indorsed.
Big and Little Views
The main divergence between the
two points of view, that expressed
by Major Berry's conference which
represented the "little fellows" in
business, and that of the large in
dustries, is that the big fellows put
