PIONEER OF DIAMOND IS
 DEAD IN CAL,

Another baseball pioneer has passed from the diamond scene with the death of Russ Hall in Los An- geles.
 Back in 1905 Hall was co-owner of the Seattle Pacific Coast League Club with the late J. P. Agnew. In those days Hall also managed the nine and played shortstop.
 Of late years, Hall, who was sixty-five years of age at the time of his death, from heart attack last week, had been the prime mover of the Baseball Players As- sociation of America, protective organization for the diamond ath- letes. He was the secretary.
 After leaving Seattle, when the P. c. L. blew up in 1906 with the San Francisco earthquake and fire disrupting the circuit, Hall retired from the game for a time and later came back as Tacoma's manager in the Northwestern League.
 Then Hall took up umpiring for number of years in that loop.
 For time, in the 1920's, Hall was a scout for the Cincinnati Reds.
 Los Angeles has been his home for number of years.

HARDENED LOT

The Basques and Borah moved in on Idaho at about the same time so have sort of grown up to- gether, although B h took to politics and the Basques to sheep raising.
 Much of Spain is high and bar ren and living is tough but these Spanish Basques were hardened to the desert ways. It is true their careful living crowded some na- tives out of the sheep business, but it also must be recorded that few of them are found on. railroad sec tion gangs and still fewer on re- lief
 They go in for fine homes in the Spanish style and are clannish to fair degree, but natives who can fathom their way of life share lib- erally in their business. They dance so hard their men are sous- ed in sweat and their games are equally hardy, which may explain some of the troubles of Franco's columns around Bilbao.
 Their drinking Is also on the sterner side and two Driscoll broth CTS of Boise, lawyer and banker. have enjoyed the good will of the Basques partly because neither has been put under the table" at the autumn fiesta, when the herders come in from the range. Because Dean Driscoll, the law yer, is plump and cocky they cen- ter their attentions on him and make him drink glass for glass with them of straight whiskey By slyly eating bread along with the whiskey (some of the Basques keep him supplied as part of the fun) he has always managed to rise from the table under his own pow CT while the Basques. taking their whiskey neat. have gone down fighting.

BASQUE COLONY LOCATED, IDAHO;
 IS SIMPLE LIFE
By PRESTON GLOVER

WASHINGTON, July 8. The public in general founC no reason for Senator Borah cutting loose on Fascism the other day but when suddenly he vented his rage against the air-bombing of the Basque city of Guernica, those harsh words were sweet to the ears of 2,00O constituents.
 These constituents are Basques. living in and around Boise, the Senator's home city, and they form the largest Basque colony outside of Europe.
 It would be silly to say the Sen- ator spoke out only because. he wanted those 2,000 votes. In the first place he doesn't need them since he was reelected last year in the face of the Roosevelt land slide by a majority so large that 2,000 votes mean little. That Basque colony is highly cherished in Idaho and be it truly said they live with vigor. save earnestly and spend wisely.

with Little Steel, of which Gird- ler's Republic is one element was GUESSWORK
 It is hazarding a guess without too much support that meeting the wage levels set for Big Steel is proving somewhat of a competitive burder on Little Steel. Big Steel, traditionally strong and better able to bear high labor costs, wouldn't necessarily mourn for Little Steel, in such a case.
 Concededly, that is looking with a fishy eye on the action of Big Steel in leading the way in that industry toward higher pay and shorter hours in agreement with labor, but stranger things have happened on this steamy planet.
 When Girdler appeared before the Senate Post Office Committee, he declined, with a quite affable smile. to talk to newspapermen. Never theless we asked him. point blank, if the competition of Big Steel had anything to do with his refusing to bind himself to a contract with CIO.
 Girdler replied politely.
