Famous Sayings

Once again war steps in to pre-
vent the holding of the Olympic
Games. The japanese have an
nounced that the games of 1910,
scheduled to be held in Toxic. have
been suspended
The situation is similar to that
of 1916 when the games were to
have been held in Berlin. With
practically all the other nations of
the world contending against the
Germans on more important fields,
in Flanders, it was of course i'm
possible to hold any international
sports competition.
Tokio's suspension of the games is
a tacit admission of the graveness,
to Japan of the war in China.
Suspension comes not because con-
testantS are warning against the
organizing country, but because that
country is SO engrossed in a war
that it can not afford to devote
attention and energies to objects
of SO little relative Importance as
the Olympic Games.
The games have been over some
pretty rough hurdles before. Since
Pierre de Coubertin of France con-
ceived their revival in 1894, their
value as promoter of international
understanding has sometimes been
questionable.

Senator William II. King of Utah,
who has an almost unbroken record
OF always having been against every
thing-Whether III the Hoover or
Roosevelt administration finds
himself in a rather curious spot.
He is a member of the monopoly
investigation committee. He Is op-
posed to monopoly, but he is also
opposed to practically any proposal
to curb monopoly. First one inn
pulse gets the better of him and
then the other.
Thus, recently, Senator King was
saying privately that the less change
made in laws governing business,
the better it would be.
But a day or two later he wrote
to Assistant Attorney General Thur
man Arnold, demanding that patent
monopolies be included in the COM
mittees investigation and proposing
a bill to prevent companies from
locking up patents for long periods
without using them.
Politics was mixed into appoint
ments to the fiVe-man civil aero
nautic authority-along with Roose-
yelt's persistent diSire TO recruit able
big business men as New Deal ad-
ministrators. Chairman Edward j.
Noble is a millionaire Republican
and was named as one of the two
Republican members. But he has
been an admirer and supporter OF
Roosevelt for eight years.
A farm boy in upstate New York,
Noble went to New York City, got
into the advertising business and
put millions of ads in the subWays.
He thought of making candy with
holes in it and at Sc is chairman
of the Life Savers corporation as
well as an officer of banks and
other corporations. At the height OF
the 1929 boom he sold out the
candy corporation to a big drug
combine; after the boom he bought
it back at about half the price he
had received. He became private
aviation enthusiast, has his own
plane and an airport at his Thou
sand Islands estate. Recently he put
most of his fortune into an educa-
tional fund for boys and decided to
devote himself TO public service.
After setting up machinery for
supervising and regulating all phases
of civil aviation, Noble is more likely
to be promoted to another big New
Deal job.
Roosevelt's appeal to Kentucky
voters for Senator Alben Barkley
on the ground that he would be
a more valuable senator than Gov.
Happy" Chandler because of his
long senatorial service may BOOM

Cubs
i'm


NEW YORK. Dec. "a CUP)-With
Manager Gabby Hartnett, Rip Col
Inns and Billy Herman setting the
pace. the Chicago Cubs cracked
two fielding records during the
1898 season, official fielding aver
ages revealed today.
The Cubs played the tightest de-
fensive ball in National League
history as they battled to the pen
nant. They established new
mark of .9779 for club fielding and
achieved a new circuit record for
fewest errors in a season, 1875.
Their new fielding percentage
displaced the previus high of ,9778,
made by Boston in 1888. And the
low error number bettered the
Cubs own figure CT i37 registered
in 1884. III addition they had the
most putouts of this season. 4,164.
Collins led the leagues first
basemen in fielding with per-
centage of 1886; Herman topped
the second-basemen with .98l and
Hartnett had the best figure for
regular catchers, .995. Gabby, how
ever, played in only 83 games and
since leadership in the various de-
partments is based upon 100 games,
Hartnett could not claim the honor,
which went to Al Todd of Pitts
burgh with 1856. Todd since has
been traded TO the Boston Bees.
Another traded player, Joe Strip,
who played with st. Louis and
Boston, headed the third -basemen.
Strip, recently sent back to
Brooklyn, had an average of .971.
Brooklyn had two of the leaders
Leo Durocher, new Brooklyn man
ager. who topped the shortStops
with 1861 and Goody Rosen, who
paced the outfielders with .989.
Although % pitchers fielded for
perfect 1000 the leadership went
to Jim Turner of Boston, with SO
chances without an error.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. "a. (UP)
Putting the sport shot here and
there:
Dukes football team. got into
Pasadena today, and some of the
wiser critics have it all figured out
that the mighty kicking of Eric
Upton is going to cost the Blue
Devils the Rose Bowl game on
January 2. Tipton's punts are
so tremendous, they reason, that
the ball beats his ends down the
field by fifteen or twenty yards and
will give the u. S. c. safety men,
Grenny Lansdell and Mickey An

tanCc. Paul SchiSsler. former
Oregon State coach, is one of the
critics who believe Tipton'S awe
some kicking will prove a BOOM
erang.
Be it California or New York, the
sharpsters who operate the foot
ball pool cards are the same. .
The pool cards on the bowl game
being circulated out here demand
that if you pick Southern Cal you
must spot Duke six points; that
YOU can't select TCU unless you
spot Carnegie Tech seven points
and that if you name Tennessee
you must spot Oklahoma eight
points. Texas Tech and st.
Mary's are the only bowl con-
tenders rated even. Speaking
OF st. Mary's, where Slip Madigan
Is coach, the football filberts out
here say that Madigan is on the
Iield SO much during st, Marys
game that he should be awarded a
sweater at the end of the season.
Santa Anita will not follow the
lead of Churchill Downs and handle
81 bets. Charley Strub, Santa
Anita general manager, says that
only bets which can be recorded
through the totalisator will be
handled at his track, and the to-
talisator is geared for So handles.
In all the time that it has
heen in operation at Santa Anita,
the giant mathematic marvel that
is the totalisator, has been in error
only once. And that on that
occasion, when it flashed the wrong
show price, little -gray-haired lady
in a gingham dress caught the er-
ror. She reported the mis-
take and the holders of the show
tickets were paid the correct
amount. If you like horses
