.HUBBELL, DEAN
BATTLE LURES
CONTINUED from Page II

Continued from Page II
during the last two seasons, with
the result that Frank FriSch,
Cardinal manager, was said to
have challenged Manager Bill
Terry to produce Hubbell against
Dean again today.
Frisch denied this during the
Cardinal workout, but when asked
what game Dean would work, he
said it would be against Hubbell.
The latter already had admitted
that he was selected to pitch the
opening game and confirmed this
by taking his place in the batting
practice. Frisch said:
1--WE made up my mind that
Dean will face Hubbell. We're
going to settle this today"
That it was to be a game for
blood, there could be no doubt,
both from the attitude of the
players and the crowd. The latter,
rapidly mounting, had reached an
estimated IS, 1000 a half hour before
game time, and the prospects were
that ten to fifteen thousand more
would be present before the end
of the afternoon. AS for the play
ers, they appeared with coldly set
faces and went through their pre-
game motions in grim silence.
Dean Gives Show
Meantime, Dean was giving the
crowd his customary one-man show.
He was a bit late in reaching the
dressing room from downtown,
with the result that the Cardinals
went on the field at 12:45 without
him.
He, therefore, made a. stars en-
trance alone 10 minutes later to
be greeted with boos and catcallS
and almost an equal share OF
applause. He had the entire
length of the field to walk from
clubhouse to dugout and, like
good dramatist, he made the most
of it, taking almost five minutes
to complete the journey. He had
every eye in the park on him
and fairly reveled in the fact, wav-
ing ironically to the stands and
showing his teeth in a derisive
smile.
Near the dugout a discarded and
rather melancholy apple landed
at his feet, but the great man
deiPned never a backward glance
as he strobe majestically on.
The umpireS hadn't appeared
at this point, but George Barr
whose balk decision against Dean
started the st. Louis violence, was
to be one of them. He was to
work at first base for the open
ing game with Steward behind
the plate and Dolly Stark at sec.
ond base.

GOOD ADVICE TO BUSINESS

Some years ago we gave up all ideas
of becoming experts on business. We
then read of great prosperity, booming
business and staggering profits but for us
it was fairy tale Plainly, if we had
been half an expert we would have cashed
in during the era when cashing in was
good.
Nowadays, we read many statements
on business trends. Most of them are by
men who know nothing about the situa-
ton. The experts have lost lot of faith
since the late crash caught everybody un-
awares and it will take long record of
accurate forecasting to restore our con-
fidence in the brothers who tell us what is
ahead
However, the prophets are interesting
and sometimes they get off some good ad-
vice. For example, Julius H. Barnes, for
mer President of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce, thinks it unhealthy that,
for three years. no president of the Cham
Der of Commerce has been invited to the
White House for consultation" He wants
business men to make frank statement
of their case. 1t is a good idea.
Mr.. Barnes says business men are
"much at fault" many having given only
lip service to democracy and some have
been secretly willing to sacrifice demo-
cracy" for an orderly regime under a
dictatorship.
Then comes Mr. Barnes confession of
faith that 'there is no safer way of life
than through the principles of democracy,
with all its faults and weaknesses" We
have to score him high on that remark and
on another: Business has to have more
sympathy with social legislation because
1.-THE steps recently taken will never be re-
traced" This is a pointer for the type of
business leader, who can think about moth
ing except taxes and offers no strategy but
to weep and moan over the burden that
business carries.
Mr. Barnes tells business men some
thing else that might possibly apply to
future situations, if they will remember
that he says "as an indication of what we
did not know about the intangibles in gov
eminent, we were worried about going off
the gold standard yet it has worked out
we'll"

CAN ONE BELIEVE AN EDITOR?

A lady, whose name shall not be re-
vealed, but who shall be here known as
Lily, writes to ask whether one should be-
lieve everything that an editor says.
In reply we assure her that, accord
ing to the best traditions of American jour
nalism, no editor has ever stopped to false
hood, and except under great provocation,
not even to eXaggeration or misstatement.
Having thus disposed of the query of
our inquisitor the idea strikes us that this
would be great old world if everybody,
including those who write letters to edi-
tors, were as dependable.

dren.
The use Of the trailer as q home
raises also the question Of public
health. Provision must be made, Of
course. for the disposal Of garbage
and human wastes. Boards Of Health
are becoming concerned over the
rapid development of trailer life. The
city Of Flint, Michigan, famous as the
home of sit-down strikes, forbids "tin
can tourists" unless their ambulatory
residences meet the local housing
regulations.
The trailer also introduces a new
safety hazard, leading the National
Association Of Motor Vehicle Manu-
facturers to demand uniform licensing
laws and reasonable standards Of
safety.
Operators of hotels and the better
automobile courts are worried be-
cause of the probable loss Of over
night patronage; and the real estate
interests are deeply concerned, be-
cause the man who takes his home
with him is less likely to buy real
estate.
The development of the trailer also
provides an object lesson for the leg.
islators, who have of late years inn
posed ever increasing burdens on the
taxpayers. By taking to the open road
the automobile gypsy can reduce the
amount of his tax payments. He must
continue to pay certain taxes, as for
example, state gasoline taxes. the fed
eral income tax, and federal excise
taxes Chose on automobiles gasoline,
tires, tobacco. etc.. But he is free
from the property tax on real estate;
and the tax on his trailer home will
be little or nothing. Moreover, he can.
if he chooses. avoid the states with
sales taxes on commodities and with
income taxes.
A floating population is hardly the
best basis for a settled society. but
it is a comfort to know that there
are some limits to the power of the
tax gatherer.

The popularity of the trailer may
be attributed in part to the fact that
the old restless pioneer blood still
flows in American veins; there is a
pressing desire to go places and see
things"
Its growing popularity is also due
to the fact that trailers are increas-
ingly being equipped to provide the
material comforts that Americans
are accustomed to demand. Under
our dying capitalistic order the mod
ern workingman considers necessary
things that we're regarded as luxuries
by the lords and ladies not so many
