ZEKE HITS BEST

BY FRANK BUCK" O,NEnL

The principals in 1885 out
standing baseball trade meet to-
day at Griffith Stadium when the
Chicago White Sox come to town
Joe Kuhel, for eight years first
baseman Of the Nationals, will be
arrayed in the uniform Of the Paid
Hose. Zeke Bonura, whose four
previous years in the majors were
spent at Comiskey Park, will be
Tapping his han-like hands and
exhorting the Nationals to grind
his erstwhile teammates fine.
The statement that the Bonura
for Kuhel trade was outstanding
may be challenged on the grounds
that it was overshadowed by the
purchase of Dizzy Dean by the
Chicago Cubs. Paying $l85, 900
for a sore arm entities the Cubs to
a seat in the front row, and that
much money is big business, and
big news.
It is easy to understand Branch
Hickey grabbing that kind Of
money for a pitcher. It is under
standable that the Cubs would pay
that kind of money for a man who
could win a pennant for Chicago.
It is difficult to understand why
the Sox would part with Bonurs
for Kuhel, even if the big Italians
holdout tactics gave Lou Comiskey
a large sized pain in the neck.
BONURA EXCELLS
Bonura is outhitting Kuhel by a
tidy margin, and far surpaSses him
in driving in runs, even at this
early date in the season. Comiskey
got rid of his pain in the neck, and
washington got the man it needed.
Not only in power does Bonura
surpaSS the smoother Kuhel, but
he far excells him in color and
leadership, two ESSENTIALS sadly
lacking on the Washington club
until the colorful Zeke began flap
ping his paws together, and ex-
Ihorting his teammates to greater
action.
It will be interesting to watch
the men playing against their
former mates. Kuhel is far hap
pier with the White Sox than he
ever was in this city, and as for
Bonura. he's happy as long as he is
playing ball and drawing his sal.

Jimmy Dykes will send Thorn

the American League as a result
of taking two games out Of three
from the Indians. The Yankees,
smashing along from the depths
of the second division, are now
one game behind the Indians, and

Nationals.
Pete Appleton brought an end
to the final game Of the series
with the Tribesmen by dropping
over a perfect curve for q third
strike on Ken Keltner, the slug
ging third baseman of the enemy.
The tying run was on second at
the time, and Keltner is a climax
hitter. Appleton worked with him
right down the line. and COM
pletely fooled Keltner.
Before Appleton came in for a
relief assignment, Hogsett had
pitched six innings. Hogsett's
curve bothered him a lot. He just
couldn't control it. Kohlman had
trouble with his fast ball and so
it went.

Of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace,

plea in this industrial city today for
cooperation OF labor, agriculture and
capital.
He said balanced abundance" can
be achieved only through cooperation
and that lit doesn't do either labor
or agriculture any good to scare

Secretary of the Interior Ickss and

abuses"
Wallace touched upon this subject
once, asserting workers and Govern
ment are often critical of a few
capitalists for very good reasons" but
added that ut is important to re-
member that capital itself is different
from a few short-sighted capitalists"
and that business men in general were
not seeking predatory privileges.
He expressed regreat that the wage
hour bill was defeated in the special
session of Congress and argued that
farm and city workmen were so inter-
dependent that any great disad-
vantages suffered by either group
would eventually effect the other
Some sections of city labor are well

he said, adding:

legislation more vigorously"
He said most people knew that the
business expansion Of last spring was
not healthy, asserting it resulted from
such things as bonus expenditures,
other Government spending and fear

terlng returns, largely from absentee
boxes, in four rural and two urban
Alabama counties gave Representa-.
tive Lister Hill lead today over for
mer Senator Thomas Heflin in their
race for the Democratic senatorial
nomination.
First reports were from Mobile and
Montgomery Counties, seats of two Of
the States larger cities, and from Nor
gan, Franklin, Barbour and Dallas
Counties, the former two in rural
Northern Alabama and the latter in
the southern farming area.
This first count gave:
Hill, 1888.
Heflin, 81.
Charles Williams, 10.
Mild, clear weather and a brisk
campaign revolving around some New
Deal issues provided incentive for the
voters, but preliminary reports from
Montgomery and Birmingham showed
light balloting.
The 68-year-old former Senator
Hef1in lay i'll in his home town Of
Lafayette while the electorate passed
on his bid to assume the seat made
vacant by the elevation of Hugo Black
to the Supreme Court. Representative

Although Cotton Tom" was report
ed recovering from a severe attack of
lobar pneumonia and was confined to
his bed, his aides hoped he could vote
later in the day by having a justice of
the peace take a ballot to his hospital
room.
MIR. Black introduced the wages and
hours bill before resigning to accept
appointment to the Supreme Court.
