SOftbaII Grows More and More
 Like Baseball

DETROIT, Oct. 27.-Softball, the game that has grown to be the pastine of thousands, continues to alter its rules to make them more like the code of it's big brother baseball.
 Clarence E. Brewer of Detroit, chairman of the joint rules com- nittee of the Amateur Softball As sociation, has announced that the only major change for 1889 will permit the scoring of runs on a wild pitch, passed ball or throw back from the catcher to the pitcher. In the past runners have been forced to stay on third base on wild pitches, passed balls or throwbacks, although they could go from first to second or from second to third when these plays developed.
 Brewer says the latest move tc make softball's rules similar to those of baseball was needed tc help the offense.
 In 1887 the sacrifice was voted into the softball rules.

Why CD Gave Up Trying
 to Sell Automobiles

CD now saw that he could not possibly make cars at low cost by building only a few each year. Nor could he sell enough to make more by telling people about them one at a time. So he decided to go back to work as a mechanic. He applied at ADS factory and was promptly employed.

 His First Automobile

OD invited all his friends and neighbors to his house. He drove his automobile around the block and gave them a ride. They were thrilled. They waHted to buy it. But when they learned that it cost S3,000, not one of ops friends could pay such a high price.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-10-27

OD heard that AID had sold ten cars, so he decided to try again. When his second car was finished, 1t had cost him almost as much as the first. He showed it to as many people as he could see and after a long time sold 1t for just about what 1t had cost him. In the next five years OD built several more automobiles, but always by the time his cars were finished AID was making better cars for lower prices.

DODD SEES PLOT
ON DEMOCRACY
BY Die TATORS

Charges that efforts are being
made to cause friction between the
United States and the Latin-Amer.
ican nations were made last night
by William E. Dodd, former Am
bassador to Germany.
Speaking at the annual banquet
Of Argo Lodge, B'nai Birth, at the
Mayflower, he declared European
dictators are attempting through
propaganda tn Shatter the institu-
tions of democratic governments.
There is a real threat to democ-
racy at this time, Dodd pointed
out, with powerful alliances di-
rected against it. He cited the
Rome-Tokyo entente, and warned
the Fascist powers are seeking al
lance with Russia in their fight
against democracy.
Racial persecution in Germany
is now worse than ever, Dodd said,
with nearly 100000 Of the half
million German Jews driven from
their country. and able to take
only small portion of their prop-
erty with them.
Senators Elmer Thomas and Jo-
seph O'Mahoney attended the ban
quet at which DR.. Ivy Pelzman
was installed as president Of the

'AFL TO OPPOSE
|STRIKE DAMAGE.
AWARD VERDICT.

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 28 UN.S0
Union labor-at least that section
affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor-will "take no
rap" for strike damages If it can
help it.
That was clear today following
announcement OF President Will
liam Green of the Federation that
appeals from two recent court de-
cisions against the Progressive
Miners of America will be backed
by AFL's executive council.
VIOLENCE IS BASIS
In one case, 36 members of the
Miners union were given prison
sentences and fines on charges Of
interference with mails as q re-
suit of violence in Illinois during
factional strife between the Pro
greSSive Miners of America and
the United Mine Workers.
In the second, damages Of Silt.
900 were assessed against 66 in
dividuals and seven locals Of the
union on the claim of the United
Electric Coal Company that it lost
100000 in business and profits
when Progressive Union pickets
tied up it's plants and would not
permit entrance of United Mine
Workers members.
PRECEDENT FEARED
Up for consideration at the
meeting of AFL'S executive council
here, both cases were scheduled
for appeal. Green, citing heavy
damage to business on the Pacific
Coast where the Federation and
CIO are warning in the lumber
field, saw dangerous precedent in
the decisions holding unions re
sponsible for the damage they
| cause.
