FUGITIVE GEARY
is WARNED BY
CAPTURED PALS
See You in AICatraz,'
Is Ironic Message

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Nov. 10
GN.s0-"Wen see you in Al
catraz, Geary."
That message of prophecy and
warning was voiced today for the
ears and eyes Of Angel Face"
Percy Geary by Harold RED"
Crowley and John Obey, back again
in the hands of the law after their
brazen break at Onondaga county
Jail.
1t was a warning to Geary that
surrender might be preferable to
the shoot to kill" orders of police,
a prophecy that the rat-like clever
ness of the prison-break brains"
was no match for the 5000 peace
officers with only one order-to
bring in Geary dead or alive.
EXPECT CAPTURE
Still on the loose was Geary
but investigators who swarmed
over the entire city were confident
they would turn him up or get a
break as they did on the capture
Of the other two who were turned
in by Ivan Whitford, a rooming-
house janitor. Geary squirmed
out of that trap as he squirmed
out of his county prison cell but
even his pals believed his number
was up.
Held in separate cells at county
detention quarters under heavy
guard, Obey and Crowley, two Of
the mob who Snatched John J..
O'Connell, jr, of the politically
powerful Albany O'Connell family,
in 1888 and were sentenced to Al
catraz, continued to kid" the
police.
To their story that they escaped
by using tobacco pipes for guns
they added the tale that they
didn't saw any cell bars at the jail
the bars were loose and they
just pulled them free.
FRIGHTENED HERO
Whitford, who came upon the
men in a vacant house, dressed
them in his clothing and brought
them to his flat one at a time on
pretenSe Of helping them-then
tipped police in prospect of getting
the $4,000 Federal reward offered
for their capture, was a frightened
hero today.
With Geary still free and pre-
Sumably in vengeful mood, heavy
guard was provided for the janitor.
Prospects Of immediate payment
Of the reward were dimmed when
the Department of Justice an
nounced in Washington today that
decision on who will get it will not
be reached for weeks.
Obey and Crowley'S description
Of the Onondaga Prison was "a
paper bag" but whether it was the
paper bag" defenSes or laxity
that was responsible for their
easy escape was to be determined
by independent sources.

Oats for Hay

In cases where oats are to be
used for hay this season, the Mis-
souri, experiment station recon-
mends cutting with grain binder
rather than mower. Oats cut with
mower lose color under the SUMS
rays and considerable trash may
be raked up with them. If binder
is used, adjust the mechanism so
that loose bundles are made. When
shocking, set up not more tn n
three bundles in a place. Small
shocks make for rapid curing.

Disposing of Cockerels

AS a general rule, it is more
profitable to dispose Of all the cock
erels as>broilers at liz to 2 pounds,
according to a specialist. The feed
increases rapidly after
that time and the price falls, owing
to the seasonal drop in poultry
prices and the fact that heavier
birds will not bring broiler prices.
Keeping the cockerels for a longer
time may be unwise, for the laying
pullets represent the chief source
Of annual income.

CITES RULES FOR
TRUCK OPERATION
Full Loads, Backhauls,
Important Points.
BY r. G. Ashby, Associate Chief in Live
Stock Marketing, University OF
illinois, witt Service.

BY r.. G. Ashby Associate Chief in Live
| Stock Marketing, University OF
Illinois.-WNU Service.
( Full loads, steady use, high per-
centage of backhauls and careful
handling are four essentials in sue
Icessful operation of motor trucks.
These facts are pointed out in a
study which the department OF ag-
ricultural economics, University OF
Illinois, college of agriculture, has
completed in cooperation with IS
truck operators who kept records OF
their activities in hauling farm
products over one-year period.
Three general laws Of business
are demonstrated by the data OBJ
tanned, even in the small number
of trucks on which records were
kept. In the first place, costs de-
crease with the volume Of output,
lin this case miles covered. Second,
lower costs tend to result in lower
|prices or charges for hauling, and,
third, total earnings increase as vol
|ume increases.
The greater the number of miles
driven, the less the operating cost
Ia mile and hour because the fixed
costs are distributed over more
units. Cost of operation a mile for
trucks with $4,000 miles or more
of use was SO per cent lower than
for the group with $4,000 miles or
less.
Return loads mean more profits.
Trucks which brought back a high
percentage of return loads consist
entity were among the group having
the lowest operating costs. Although
there was not much correlation be-
tween costs a mile and average
weight hauled, it was found that a
fully loaded truck reduces the ton
mile costs considerably. In the cost
of hauling live stock, the mileage
required to pick up a full load is an
important item.
For the is trucks the average cost
including operating labor was ~
cents a mile. Omitting operating
labor, driver and helper, the aver
age cost was Ats cents a mile. The
trucks averaged 81 miles a gallon
of gasoline, 519.6 miles a gallon of
oil, 1918 ton-1niles gallon of gaso-
line and 1872 miles an hour of
Operation.

Worse Teamwork
Shown by Baseball
Bosses Than Help

60 MANY things are being blamed
~ upon the weather nowadays that
1t is relief to consider Brooklyn's
Dodgers. Since those athletes prob
ably would continue to drop deci-
sions even if they were performing
within the shadow of the South pole,
collection of logic is dedicated to
persistent customers who annually
must be beset by chills while the
heat is being turned ON elsewhere.
Plainly, what is wrong with the
Dodgers-as well as with such bet
ter favored clubs as the Red Sox
and the Indians-is that even worse
teamwork is displayed by the bosses
than by the hired help. Until the
front Offices can be made to under
stand the necessity for cooperation
as we'll as for sustained and in
tel1igent planning, World series
must continue to be played at the
Polo Grounds, at Yankee stadium,
and in such other heaven-favored
spots.
By this I mean that there are en-
tirely too many straw bosses float
ing around in the Cleveland, Boston
american league} and Brooklyn Of
fees. There is such an abundance of
managers-both of the business and
field variety-that there is no real
central authority.
Instead of being Bill Terrys,
Branch Rickeys or Connie Macks,
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1937-07-22

confusion, of course, is nothing new
in this combination of sport and
business that is called baseball. For
instance, there are the White Sox.
When the lamented Charles Comis-
key was in his prime the team
made money and won pennants. AS
he became older he slipped into a
mingling of uncertainty and stub
bornness that caused him to lean too
heavily upon poorly equipped vol
unteer advisers. For years then,
and after his death, the White Sox
neither made money nor won pen
nants. Now happy understanding
between field and Office is bringing
success again.
There also are the Giants. For
almost twenty-five years John Nc
Graw was the supreme authority
and the club was one of baseball's
grandest successes. Then some of
the players discovered that it was
not impossible to go over the "Old
Mans" head. The next pennant was
not won until Bill Terry, who would
not accept the job until granted full
and unquestioned control, had be-
come manager.
Other examples bob quickly to
mind. Bucky Harris, who managed
two pennant-winning teams under
the overlordship Of Clarke Griffith
in Washington, was not a success
in Boston. Marty McManus, for
many reasons very popular with the
fans, was separated from Red Sox
managerial duties ahead Of Harris.

During the several seasons since he
has taken over the same rap, Joe
Cronin may have yearned for the
peaceful days when he merely had
to fight over signs and trades with
his father-in-law.
Similarly, there is Cleveland. Billy
Evans, the business manager, and
Walter Johnson, the manager, had
pretty time there, while pennant
dreams faded in the heat of their
feud. Then a new business manager
and a new manager drew the black
spots. The quarrels have been no
less entertaining and destructive.
And meanwhile the Yankees, ruled
by Ed Barrow, and the Tigers, di-
rected by Mickey Cochrane, con-
tinue to cash World Series checks.

no desire to be unkind to the various
gentlemen who have devoted their
years at salaries considerably
more handsome than the results?--

I merely am stating facts that are
very well known to any one who

the case of a club precariously guild

probate court, a manager, a club
house janitor, a pitcher and an in
fielder does not particularly disturb
me now.

comeback. Bonnie's business is too
good and his home life too happy
for him to monkey with fate. His
workouts are simply to ease the
heart that was three times it's nor
