NEW YORK. Sept. IS. tUP)-Re-
moyal of the threat of an immc cdi

tacular rally into stocks today in

For a half hour period traders
witnessed scenes absent for more

and trading had to be halted in four
market leaders.
Dealings turned relatively quiet
thereafter and sporadic profit-tak'

Impetus for the rally was the an
nouncement that Adolf Hitler had
aerede to four-pOwer conference

critics dispute.
The news came after prices had
been hammered down | to 4 points
in line with general weakness in
European security markets. There
also had been a crash in the pound

sugar futures-the war staples-a'

Almost all the baseball world today
lined I'D behind Hank Greenberg
and the Chicago Cubs in their
list of laurels everyone believed
beyond their reach.
With 58 homers Greenberg needs
only three in five games to smash
Babe Ruths record of go made in

pulling for Greenberg. II wish him
luck" was the Babes comment
when told of Greenbergs two hom-

Even the New York Yankees,
American league champions, are
pulling for the Cubs. This possibly
may be because of the larger gate
which would result with the Cubs
in the series.
Dizzy Deans great performance
which turned back the Pirates yes
terday, 2-1, also contributed in
rousing fandom TO cheer for the
Cubs. Dean held the Pirates to
seven hits in 2-3 innings. Hartnett
took him out with two out in the
ninth because he was tired. Lee,
who pitched and beat the Cardinals
Monday, uncorked a wild pitch to
let in the only run. Then he fan

Over in the city of Holtville
where you have to be a sports en-
thusiaSt to have any friends and
where the easiest method to incu:
the wrath of a neighbor is to con-
denim the Viking football machine
more persons turn out to watch
the towns gridders practice than
in all other cities of the valley
combined.
Coach Walker predicts a bad
year for the Vikings. but those
Holtville sports followers who trek
to the athletic field each night
to watch the Vikings prep for the
season opener Thursday night,
forecast another valley title and
a successful defense of the south
ern California crown.
Tuesday night there were more
than 150 persons out to see the
Vikings in action. That crowd was
smaller than some which have wit
messed Holtville workouts.
Enthusiastic Gent
One old gent, a chap who has
been out for every practice, was
enthusiastic in his praise of the
Viking Grid machine. They're two
deep in every position but one" he
chortled.. That one position is
quarterback. And who ever heard
of a replacement for Jack Gray
anyway.
7 can't tell the difference be-
tween the first and second strings
excep for Gray" he said. "Say,
do you want to bet against Holt
vile Thursday?' he asked sudden
ly.
Not now" replied as I depart
ed to seek out Coach Noval Walker.
Walker dismissed the old gents
prediction with a laugh. "I have
more troubles than California has
pension plans he said. The only
way I can win the flag is if they
will give the last place team the
pennant this season"
His statement proved nothing
Instead it left the Bench Warmer
still wondering which team will
finish on top when the final battle
whistle is blown on Thanksgiving
day.
1t looks like another tossup from
this point if Bob Erskine of Braw-
ley can strengthen his line and il
Coach Hansen of Ell Centre can
find a backfield combination.
But there is one thing certain
Holtville need not worry about sup
port at its games from the home
town fans.

The Big Four

Pittsburgh, Alabama, Minnesota
and California, four points on the
collegiate compass where the &C
cent is on football formed the van
guard this week of grid teams
marked to watch for the mythical
national title.
Pitt, generally rated the nations
top team last season despite
sccreless tie with Fordham, gained
recognition again this season with
a crushing 1910 victory over a high
" touted West Virginia eleven.
Minnesota's Gophers, defending
Biz Ten champions, beat Washing
ton, one of the Pacific Coasts
stronger teams.
ii 1t hadn't been for a fumbled
punt on the half yard line, South

California eBars came roaring
from behind in the final period
against st. Mary's team which
was supposed to be the strongest
in history at the Gael institution.
Vic Bottari and Dave Anderson

The elections also bore on the
political future Of persons not di-
rectly involved In the voting. Sec
retary Wallace, for instance, put
his personal leadership at stake in
his native Iowa, but the Republican
State ticket won.
In Indiana the Democratic Or

him for 1910, backed Senator Van

In analyzing the sources Of re-

Of 1t may have come from anti-C.

sible shift In the colored vote. Az
for the former, the A. r. of r. and
the G. I. o. split in some contests

AS for the colored vote, one nota-
BILE shift was that of Robert l.. Vann

Relief Attack Seen.
His words foreshadowed Repub-
lican drive to change the Federal
relief system. Indications are that
1t will be centered on revision Of the
w. P. A., target Of anti-administra- :
ton criticism throughout the CAM
paign. Chairman Hamilton recently
said Republican Senators would de-
mand an investigation Of the w. p.
A. and especially charges Of politics
In relief.
In reviewing the elections, politi-
cal strategists Of both parties had
many more factors than the direct
results Of the voting to consider In
planning their future campaigns.
Among those were the potential
effect on business Of Republican
gains, the political strength of Or
ganized labor, the question of
whether the colored vote may be
shifting In some areas from Demo-
cratic to Republican columns, and
just where 1910 presidential hope
fuls stand now that the mid-term
balloting is out of the way.
AS to the latter, most politicians
here agreed that some gained In
stature while a few may have lost
prestige Tuesday.
One name still high on the list Of
Republican possibilities was that of
Thomas E. Dewey. who. although he
lost the New York gubernatorial
race. proved himself as two-fisted
in vote-getting as in prosecuting
New York racketeers.
Some persons thought the defeat
OF Gov. Frank Murphy Of Michigan
might remove him from the presi-
Dental scene, but a high Federal
position may still be his lot. There
was speculation here that President
Roosevelt might appoint him to the
Supreme Court.
