 Maple Artists

At a meeting of local loop basket ball managers last night, it was de- cided that tentative lists Of team rosters turned in by managers ap- peared to be so adequately balanced that there will be no necessity ot further efforts to balance team power.
 As it stands now, all managers are free to sign any players they possibly can and within the next few days, will have organized ther playing personnel
 Last opportunity for manager to sign a player will be the night fol- lowing the last practice before the season opens about November 9.
 According to rules of this league. once a player is signed with a team, he must obtain his release before signing with another team, and it has been ruled this year, that should a manager not desire to re- lease man, the man may apply to the league for his release.
 Four applications have been re- ceived for the referees job, and pos sibly two will be selected. They are last years ref" Bud Foster and Ed Metzgar, Robert Seamen and Dave Turner
 Managers present at last nights meeting were Stan Grummett for the Elks, Jim Barrie for Krause, Eddie Lawson for Jennings, and Carl Jensen for the Miners. J. E. Pegues. Bremen manager, was not present.

BY CHARLES Il. STEWART
Central Press COIumnist

Washington, June 6.-Republican
management has been first rate thro-
ughout all the fighting which has
been raging in congress in recent
months between "pro" and "anti' New
Dealers.
The G. 0. P. senators and represen
tatives are "antis", of course. Even
if few of them are in personal sym
pathy with certain New Deal policies,
they are "antis'' on partisan grounds
And they all vote partisanly Senator
Hiram w. Johnson of California, for
example, always has been a mighty
liberal and occasionally an outright
boiling Republican. Nevertheless, he
has been as consistent as New Deal
"antis" as any Old Guardsman of late
Senator George w. Norris of Nebras-
ka might be cited as an exception
He has been very regularly 'pro" New
Deal. However, he was not elected the
last time as a Republican, but as an
Independent.
Now, the New Deal naturally has
been exceedingly repulsive to old-linf
Republicanism all along. It has been
terrible temptation to it's spokesmen
to give it oratorical hades on Capitol
Hill. Yet they have exercised an ad
mirable restraint. Why?
Political Sagacity.
Well, they showed remarkable poll
teal good sense.
If the Democrats had stuck together
behind the administration there would
have been nothing left for the Repub
licans to do except to yell their heads
off impotently as the overwhelming
majority proceeded to ram the New
Deal program through in all it's de
| tails.
But G.. o. P. leadership had the per
spicacity to foresee from the frs
that the enormous preponderance O.
the Democrats virtually assured strife
