OVERGROWN BOY

O'Neill intends to bring his lat est sensation along carefully. Very likely Teller will not start more than once a week at present. For all his 180 pounds and his six feet of height, Teller is only boy.
 Heller halls from Adel, Iowa, a small town 30 miles from Des Moines. His father is a rancher. Bob started as a shortstop on an Iowa sandlot team managed by his father two years ago He became a pitcher and soon attracted the attention of big league scouts. In an amateur tournament at Day. ton last summer, he famed l8 batters. He was signed with New Orleans but decided he wanted to finish high school where he stil has another year.
 Cleveland has done fairly well with young talent in the past. Wes- ley Terrell was only 21 when he became regular for the tribe in 1929 Joe Vosmik made his bow in left field for the Indians when he was only 20. Then along came Weatherby to set the league afire at voting ago. Lack of long mil nor league experience didn't seem to hinder these boys from making good with bang.

JUST WANTED TO WIN

The thought of going after the strike-out record never entered the youngsters head while he was on the mound. He was out to win the game and the best way he knew was to throw 'em past the batters. He wasn't sure what the record was.
 It is interesting to note that Eel Ter scored his amazing feat with out the aid of an experienced mltt man. His catcher on the memor- able occasion was Charley George rookie, who had been recalled by Cleveland less than week before the game.
 ONeill gave the catcher lot oi credit for Feller's fine showing George kept the young pitcher working slowly and deliberately talking to him several times wher he was in trouble without giving him the impression that life ol death hung on the next pitch.
 If Teller was at all nervous wher he started the game he did no show it. He had the poise of veteran. He even went so far as tt ogle Umpire Harry Geisel in th' most approved big-league fashior when he disagreed with the arbi-

The failure of the Indians to win the American League pennart must nave been another bitter disap- ,1ointment to the Cleveland fans but 1t least they have had few bright spots to make the season interest .ng.
 The amazing batting feats of Roy Weatherby, the 21-year-old Who3 stepped from New Orleans of the Southern Association to make "a spirited bid for the top slugglng nonors of the League, gave them something to cheer about. And then along came Bob Teller.
 This youngster, real-life Merri- well, stepped from the sandlots Q come within one strike-out of tying the League record of 16 set oy Rube Waddell 28 years ago. He is the talk of the baseball world No wonder-for the lad is only IT, and has not yet completed his high school course.
 Teller gave some indication of what might be expected of him when he struck out eight of the nine St. Louis Cardinals who faced aim in July exhibition game But no one figured he would stand the St. Louis Browns on their heads in such sensational fashion. The Browns are not the weakest team n the American League when it comes to batting-fellows like Sol- ters, Bell, West and Bottomley pack real punch.
 Only six weeks removed from the sandlots, Teller acted like a vet eran on the mound in his first start ! ing venture. When he found him. self in a tight spot he merely turn ed on the pressure and threw the ball so fast that the batters could n't see it, let alone hit it.

Owner May Speed Lagging BangtaiI
 by Remote Control

DETROIT, Mich, Sept 9.-It is possible for the owner of race horse, seated in the grandstand, to give his horse an electric shock any time he so desires during the running of race.
 All the equipment he needs can be packed in a small valise.
 Tt is the same principle that is used in guiding airplanes from the ground" Ralph Bowers, electronics engineer and inventor of the cam era which decides close finishes at the Detroit track, explains.
 All of the equipment man needs is transmitting set with para bolic antenna in his grip. He could sew a series of three or four very fine wires into the jockeys blouse to act as receivers.
 The wire would be as thin as an ordinary thread of satin in the blouse and could merely replace several threads It would be so fine that one could not distinguish the wire from the threads.
 The rest would be simple. When the man wanted to hit his horse all he would have to do would be to press button on the transmit ting set, which would send out a beam of ultra high frequency en- ergy, which would be picked up by the wire in the jockeys jacket.
 "One end of the wire would have to extend about an inch out of the jacket so that the current would strike the horse and not the jockey
 Thus the man in the stand could give the horse light tap or a real shock at any time during the race. It would be simple mat ter, and one for the stewards of the various race tracks to watch for anc guard against"
 PS. The current rumor that 8 steward was electrocuted while shaking hands with jockey at 8 horse track that now IS operating is entirely false.

ORDERS
PROCESS TAXES
Note to Congress Leaders
Is Interpreted as
Demand.
By United Press

By OntteG Press
WASHINGTON, April A spe-
cial memorandum from President
Roosevelt to congressional leaders
was interpreted today as a demand
for restoration of proposed new
processing taxes to the tax bill.
In a one-paragraph note to Sem
ate Majority Leader Joseph T. Rob-
inson and House Speaker Joseph w.
Byrns, the President warned again
that the newstax bill must provide
sufficient revenue to balance the
ordinary budget.
House leaders said they considered
his suggestion meant that the
White House proposed processing
taxes were essential for ordinary
budget balancing. The tax bill is
now before the House Ways and
Means Committee.
New processing taxes proposed in
the Presidents special message of
March 3 would cover approximately
80 commodities and raise an esti-
mated $200,O00000 annually for two
years. The proposal was discarded
by the House tax subcommittee in
the belief sufficient revenues could
be raised otherwise.

SENATE FIL|BUSTER
WAGED BY REYNOLDS
Continues Speaking to
Block Deportation Bill.

By Scripps-Hotoard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The
first filibuster since Huey Long left
the Senate was in progress today
against the Kerr Coolidge deporta-
ton bill.
Senator Robert Reynolds Cd, N
c. is trying to talk the bill 10
death. In order to prevent this
the Senate is foregoing its usual
Saturday recess.
Senator Reynolds said when he
started his speech yesterday after
noon, that he was prepared to talk
Is hours. He had talked three
hours when the Senate recessed
for the night.
A filibuster usually is futile this
far from the end of a session, but
the Senate convenes Monday as a
court of impeachment and may
spend several weeks hearing
charges against Judge Halsted L.
Ritter of Florida. Unless congress
sional action can be had before
then, it may be too late to prevent
deportation of 1862 aliens of good
character for whom the immigra-
ton service has recommended len
iency.
The Senate may stay in session
tonight to force a vote on the bill.
If vote is taken there is every
likelihood of its adoption.

bRUNO'S DEATH

innocent, Says Condemned
Man as He Starts for
Electric Chair.
NO HINT OF CONFESSION
Hoffman, WiIentz to Face
Test on Public Reaction
in May Primary.
Copyright. 1895. by United Press,


TRENTON, N. j., April 4.-Bruno
Richard Hauptmann's last cry of
innocent" before he walked to the
electric chair recorded the Lind
bergh case today as the most con-
troversial mystery of the century.
Hauptmann died calmly, almost
indifferently, with his thin lips
sealed against the slightest hint of
a confession.
And with the deadly surge Of elec-
tricity through his body, there died,
too, perhaps the only chance that
the world ever will know the factual
story of the abduction and murder
of the infant son of Col. and Mrs.
Charles A. Lindbergh in the Sour
land Mountains four years ago.
Around the world went the flash
that the state of New Jersey had
closed it's books on the multimil-
lion-dollar Lindbergh case at 7:471a
Indianapolis time) last night in
the electrocution chamber of the
gloomy old state prison. But just
as surely there were millions who
knew that Hauptmann had died and
who still were convinced that he
did not commit the crime alone.
Every Legal Fight Fails.
Hauptmann died on a stage set
for fantasy and in a fitting climax
on a crime that piled sensation on
sensation with such terrific mo-
mentum that even half an hour be-
fore the execution 1t appeared like
ly that the eternal something"
would yet save dauptmann's life
for at least another day.
But at last the legend of the
Lindbergh case had run it's course.
Every legal battle for life had
failed him. At the last minute Gov.
Harold G. Hoffman had announced
reluctantly that he did not have the
power to grant another reprieve.
If ever there was time when
man would speak from his heart
that time for Hauptmann was at
$3.50 p. m. last night.
He released the hands of two
Lutheran ministers who stood be-
side him in the death cell.
Nov just let me have minute
to myself" he said softly in Ger
man.
Hauptmann Prays Alone
Silently, he knelt on the cement
floor beside a cot stripped even of
its bedding. His head, clipped to
receive the electrode of death, glist-
ened in the light of an overhead
bulb. Hauptmann prayed.
For almost 10 minutes the man
who knew he was without hope said
his last prayer silently.
Then he lifted his face toward
the light. The shadows of the cell
bars fell sharply across his face.
In the death house corridor stood
two guards.
Now I'm ready" Hauptmann
said.
He got to his feet, the right leg
Of his brown trousers tapped. It was
slit for the electrode.
A few minutes later Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann was dead, but not
the legend of the Lindbergh case.

PARIS REEVES
BRANDS PLAN
TO CHECK WAR
Sweeping Program Drafted
for Farley of Locarno
Powers April 13.
U. S. OF EUROPE is GOAL
Tariff Barriers Would Be
Abolished as Means of
Assuring Peace.
Copyright. 1896. by United Press,


PARIS, April 4.-France will sub
NIT a sweeping plan for consolida-
ton of peace in Europe to a meet
ing Of Locarno powers during the
week of April 10, it was learned to-
day.
The plan, it was learned, will in
clude the once-shelved program
evolved by the late Aristide BRAND
for a United States of Europe, a
most ambitious scheme for a politi-
cal and economic new deal that
would sweep away tariff barriers
and put European nations working
with instead of against each other
Great Britain, it was learned, ac-
copied in principle today the French
demand for a meeting of the Lo-
carno powers France, Belgium
Britain and Italy, if she wants to
attend. The meeting will be held
here.
Flandin Drafts Plan
Foreign Minister Pierre Etienne
Flandin spent today at the Ouai
D'Orsay with experts, drafting the
peace plan. 1t will be approved by
the cabinet Monday and circulated
to Locarno governments, as a men,
orandum, Tuesday. Britain will for
ward 1t to Germany, which de-
nounced Locarno by reoccupying the
oemilitarized Rhineland zone.
1t was indicated that France
would stake much on the Locarno
meeting. She will offer not only
the peace plan-!n itself a document
of perhaps historic Importance
but document containing all Ger
man treaty violations since the
World War.
France intends that the peace
plan shall lead to great all-Eu-
ropean economic and political con-
ference during June.
The French plan will be known
as the F1landin plan.
France will submit it to the
League, as we'll as to the Locarno
powers.
Sarraut to Study 1t
Premier Albert Sarraut intends to
study the plan in detail tomorrow,
before submitting it to the cabinet
He said he was in agreement with
Flandin on all points, but he wished
to approve personally the final draft.
Flandin interrupted his work to-
day to see Vittorio Cerruti, Italian
ambassador
