Later the boys got to wondering

West, who will join the Mats
tonight in Detroit. has been play
ing professional baseball for II
years, this being his twelfth
season. Bucky Harris, when
questioned about West, said:
I'VE think he's good for about
two more years. If he is, then
TIE trade will give us all we
want. Almada is a darn nice
chap and a great outfielder, but
we won't think he'll ever be a
hitter. West is a great out
fileder and he can still hit"
That means the Mats have given

BONURA OFFERED
Bonura was offered to the
Browns in straight deal for Roy
Beau" Bell, the slugging St
Louis outfielder. The Browns
wanted Jimmy DeShong and
Johnny Stone in return for Bell
The Browns, anxious to secure
the services of Eldon Auker, the
Detroit pitcher, persuaded the
Mats to make q bid for the Tiger
underhander. Detroit, interested
Ii in Wesley Ferrell, ended the
dickering a few minutes before
midnight and the trade enthusi
asm boiled down to the Almada
West swap.
West, currently hitting .S17 as
compared to Almada's .243, owns
lifetime batting average of 1903
He made his big-league debut
with the Mats in 1927. remaining
with Washington in 1892, when
he was traded to the Browns
along with Carl Reynolds, Lloyd
Brown and $4,000, for Goose
Goslin, Fred Schultz and Walter
Stewart. His best season was
with the Mats in 1886, when he
batted 1888. Last season West
batted 1928 for the Browns.

THREE RETURN
In the first place three mem

squad will report with golf clubs
under one arm and books under
the other.
Secondly the third star mem
ber of the famous Dettweiler golt-
ing clan, Jack, is breezlng In
from Garrett Park where he has
completed his academic as well
as golf course at Georgetown
Preparatory School.
He is the kid brother Of Billy

Congressional and probably the
best known amateur family in
Washington at the moment. Along
with Jack, from Georgetown Prep,
will come Buddy Titus to form
the nucleus for an effective fresh
man combination at the Hilltop
next season.

that Bobby Brown, captain OF

matches and three informal or

Then from Gonzaga to George

powerful shoulders, who will aver.

They Found Out

Marion took up golf in 1888
or 1884, she forgets which,
under AL Treder. She and
her sister, Jeanette, now IT,
would 90 out to Indian Spring
to play tennis in the afternoon
with those two golfing young
sters, Bobby and Jimmy Brow
nell But Bobby and Jimmy
would always make them walt
until they got through with
golf.
Marion and Jeannette got
tired of sitting around waiting
for the two golf bugs. and they
always did wait because boys
make it more fun, and sisters
lust argue on the court" SO
they decided to find out what
was so attractive about the links.
AT that time AL Treder was
conducting class lessons IN
groups of eight for women, az
O. 10 and II in the morning.
Marion became so engrossed IN
the game that she turned up at
every lesson daily. Finally she
began taking private lessons.
And her easy, open swing TO-
day is the result.

IF ARIZONA IS WISE,
SHE WILL RATIFY

Ratify the Santa Fe Compact, John M
Ross former member of AriZona's Colo
RADIO River Commission, advised his state
this week Until Arizona does ratify the
compact, she will be on the outside look
ing in at any discussion of Colorado
river rights, he pointed out.
He is one hundred per cent right. He
merely told AriZOnans what we told our
readers in this column six months ago.
Arizona cannot expect especial consider
alton in matters dealing with the Colo
RADIO river until she joins the other states
in the Santa Fe Compact She is the
only state that has never ratified it. She
has continually adopted the attitude that
all the other states are wrOng-she her
self is right.
Arizona has done all in her power to
block development of the Colorado-be
cause she believed she was not getting
her full share of water. She opposed
Boulder Dam. She opposed the All Amer
lean canal. She opposed the Metropoll-
tan Water District. And yet she expects
other states to support her in Washing
ton when she asks for approval of such
projects as the Gila project.
1t is only common sense that Arizona
will never get very far in Colorado river
matters until she ratifies the compact.
In interstate diplomacy, as in per-
sonal affairs, cooperation gets whale
of lot farther than opposition. If Ari
zona will never get very far in Colorado
river matters until she ratified the COM
pact.
In Interstate diplomacy, as in per-
sonal affairs, cooperation gets whale
of a lot farther than opposition. If Ari-
zona heeds the advice of Mr.. Ross, she
herself the truth of that fact If she
doesn't follow his advice-and chances
are she won't-she may discover that
she's still getting nowhere.

POINTING TO COMMUNIST
POWER IN THE CIO
HaVerhill (Mass.) Gazette)

(Haverhill (Mass.) Gazette)
John 2. Frey, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, empha-
sized with much detailed information a
fact that already was generally recog-
nized when he testified before the special
congressional committee investigating
un-American activities that the Commu-
nists had been able to gain foothod in
organized labor through the CIO.,
Soon after John l.. Lewis set up the
CIO as a nationwide labor organization
in opposition to the AFOL, it was recog-
niEed that the Communists were active in
his undertaking. For years before Lewis
broke away from the AFOL the Com
munists had a national union, but it nev-
er had amounted to much and had been
noted particularly for trouble-making.
When Lewis started the CIO his great
need was organizers. He met this need
by accepting the Communist organizers
Some of them rose to places of obvious
power in the CIO. Frey testified that
one of them, William Gebhert, member
of the central committee of the Commu-
mist party, was active in organizing the
workers of the steel industry He sub
mitted photOStatic copies of the receipts
for money paid to the Communist party
by Joseph Curran, president of the Ma
tiOnal Maritime Workers union. He point
ed TO the fight Homer Martin, head of
the automobile workers union, has had
with the Communists and testified that
the vice president of this union, Wynd-
ham Mortimer, is a member of the GEN.
tral committee of the Communist party
These Communists introduced the sit
down strike to the American technic of
labor controversy and practised mass
picketing consistently. They have pro-
NOTED strikes that were vicious in their
violence.
Lewis is not a Communist. Probably
he has as little sympathy with Commu-
nism as President Green of the A. F. of
L. The MAJ jority of the members of the
CIO are not Communists. Like most
workers in and out of unions, they are
well-meaning Americans trying to i'm
prove their lot. Lewis acceptance of the
Communist machine for organizing work.
ers, however, enabled a relatively small
number of aggressive, trouble-making
Communists to place the Red stamp on
great labor movement.
Frey's testimony should have the eff
feet of warning American workers and
American labor leaders to rid their or
ganizations of the Communists or to rid
the labor movement of organizations
that permit the Communists to work
their destructive tactics on the nations
economic life.

few weeks later. Then everybody
went home.
1t all sounds very old-fashioned
and unsophisticated, and anyone
present who could have foreseen
the modern stadium, the corps of
paid coaches, the high-pressure re-
cruiting campaigns and all the other
adjuncts of modern football must
have been possessed of second sight.
But the real change in college
football has been deeper than these
externals. The outstanding fact
about that pioneer game is that
it was played for the fun of it. And
today's game is played-well, to
advertise the school, to pay off the
stadium bonds, to satisfy the popu-
lace, to keep the coach's job, or
for any of half dozen other rea-
sons; but not, decidedly not, for
the fun of it alone.
Quite a contrast, isn't 1t?

SI3,500, 900, 900 OF YOUR MONEY
{ (NOgales Herald)

1t is estimated that government-fed-
eral, state and national-will levy taxes
to the tune of S13,5OO,O0 900 this year
Just one-ninth of that sum will be
raised through income taxes. The gigan-
tic balance will be raised through in
direct taxes which represent part of the
cost of pair of shoes, ticket to a show,
rent, groceries and every other necessity
and luxury Of life.
The great bulk of indirect taxes are
paid by persons of small and moderate
means. A man with a thousand dollars
a year eats as much as a man with fifty
thousand. And the hidden tax burden
is obviously Of infinitely greater impor-
tance to him.
Here is the answer to those who think
the tax problem is wealthy mans prob
lem, which doesn't touch the poor There
isn't a man, woman or child in this coun-
try who doesn't pay taxes-and heavy
taxes, to boot. And the worst sufferer
from eXtravagant government is that
ordinary citizen who thinks he is tax
free because he pays no direct levies.

THERE'S STILL ROMANCE
FOR THE TAKING

All the frontiers are gone. The Wild
West has been tanned, the jungles have
been penetrated, the mountains have
been climbed. There's no romance left!
SO often we hear such a complaint
and just as often we are forced to the
conclusion that the complainer would
have voiced the same wall if he had lived
in the days of D'Artagnan himself No
romance, indeed!
There are boundless frontiers today
as exciting as any of olden times. There
are the frontiers of a business world
just learning to keep its economic feet
under it. There are the frontiers of in
dustrial development and the frontiers
of scientific achievement. There are
greater worlds to conquer than have
ever been conquered.
But, lest we be charged with prosaic
romanticism of a business mind, we has
ten to remark that there are other kinds
of romance left-the romance of daring
and adventure, the romance of life and
death chances and hairbreadth escapes.
Where? There's one case in the news
this week.
DR.. Petersons-Dr. Peterson and his
wife, with a crew of two Russian boat
men, are completing five-months voy-
age across the Pacific from Shanghai to
Los Angeles in 36-foot Chinese junk
a vessel that many cautious landlubbers
would not step aboard in the harbor for
fear it would sink. Five long months
they have spent at sea, without a sight
of other human beings, Drawing the ter
rors of storm and shipwreck, navigating
crudely, sailing as mariners sailed thou
sands of years ago.
No romance left? No adventure?
Then what was it the Petersons found?

Famous Sayings
Bruce Carton Says
1t Wasn't Colossal - But it Was Fun

The nations annual attack OF
stadium fever is about to break
out. Within a few weeks the foot
ball season will be in full swing
and the collegian's form of inno-
cent recreation will be providing
the fans with excitement, the news
papers with headlines, and divers
persons with a livelihood.
Football is such a complicated
and highly organized affair now
adays that it is hard to realize
what an informal modest little
game it was in the beginning.
A gentleman named Homer
Boughner died in Denver the other
day at the age of 80; and because
he played in the first American
intercollegiate football game, his
obituary notices recalled the games
circumstances.
This game was between Prince
ton and Rutgers. 1t was played
at New Brunswick, N. j., on Nov.
6, 1869.
Some 25 young men from Prince
ton made the journey to do the
actual playing. They were accom-
panied by about so of their fellow
students. who seem to have come
along out of idle curiosity. An
equal number of Rutgers players
met them and took them to al
open field, unmarked and unfenced.
There the two teams-50 boys, ell
told-took off their hats and coats,
rolled up their sleeves, and started
the game.
The game seems to have been
considerably more like soccer than
like modern football. There were
no touchdowns; only field goals
counted, and apparently there were
not many regulations about the
number of men who could be on
the field at one time. The little
handful of spectators sat on the
grass. sang a few songs, and clap
ped their hands heartily when the
game ended with a to victory
for Rutgers.
After the game was over, all
hands-both players and spectators
had dinner together "on roast
game birds from the Jersey marsh
es," sang some more songs. agreed
that it had been lots of fun. and
set a dote for a return game
