The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-08-17

In summing up the work of the con-
gress adjourned a week ago, Congress-
man Pittenger stated in letter to the
press of the Eighth District:
JOHN L. LEWIS DENOUNCES
GARNER-There has been nothing
more dramatic during the month of
July than the episode in Committee
Room when John L. Lewis designated
Vice President Garner as a labor
batting, poker-playing, whiskey drink
ing, evil old man." At the conclusion
of Mr.. Lewis testimony the Committee
Chairman thanked Mr.. Lewis for his
testimony and then couple of hours
later explained that no such language
was intended
Whom the Gods would destroy they
first make mad" is an ancient phrase
which may have an application in the
present instance. Impartial observers
say that the history name-calling con-
test here has harmed the man who in
dulged in it and has also resulted in
damage in many other ways. Indirectly,
and perhaps directly, it has brought
out the many fine qualities of Vice
President Garner and given him pub
licity which may make him a real
contender for the Presidential nom
nation
THE HATCH BIIL-After a lot of
delay the President signed the Hatch
Bill, which is intended to prohibit
Federal office holders from spending
their time in political activity. In the
past poStmasters and other Presidential
appointeeS could attend national poll
teal conventions and help select the
Presidential nominee. Under this new
law such activity is not possible Many
observers believe that this new law will
prevent the President from taking
control of the 1910 Democratic National
Convention. Right after the Bill was
signed the remark was made that this
is an indication that the President does
not intend to seek third term Other
wise he would have refused to sign the
bill. The President issued a long state
ment and it was evident that he signed
the bill with great reluctance.

This is a story about the Chicago
Cubs, and I'll tell you why.
Almost every day I get a letter
from some stern, irate reader de-
manding to know Why don't write
more straight sport stories, and
why I clutter up newspaper pages
with stories of my own experiences.
I save these letters very diligent-
ly, and at the end of month their
cumulative effect is enough to make
me run screaming to the typewriter
and write just the sort of the thing
I am about to write.
Naturally, I would rather talk
about myself, as who wouldn't take

of it at the Metro-Goldwyn Mayer
studio, watching Woody Van Dyke
direct Claudette Colbert and jim
my Stewart, and l would love to
me and what said to her. But no,
must tell you about the Cubs,
and how their Charley horses are
coming along, and what brand of
tobacco Gabby Hartnett is chewing
this year, and how the rockies are
standing the separation from the
loved ones down on the farm.
Farewell, Claudette! Howya, Cab

Hartnett is very pleased with the
general outlook of the Cubs on
nearby Catalina Island where
spent the day yesterday. Biggest

and Leiber are so delighted to be
removed from Bill Terry that they
are acting like schoolboys and like

careers. Leiber, for the first time

by Feller, is at best weight and

National Pennant Threat
Cards Boast Speed.
Power Says
N. Y. Leader
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY-

BATON ROUGE, La, March T..
CUP)-The boys were sitting around
in Bill Terry's suite tanning when
one of the scribes asked the leader
of the Giants what he thought
about the short odds of II quoted
by q New York bookmaker against
the St Louis Cardinals winning the
pennant.
Quick on the uptake, Terry said
that price was absolutely justifiable
despite the fact that the Cards fin
ished only a game out OF 7th place
last season.
Il like the Cardinals chances" j."
said Terry. "They might be the
team we'll all have to lick. They
certainly have plenty of poten-
tialities. There's just one spot on
the team l don't like and that's
shortstop. But they have five
shortstops going to camp so they
may find the man they want. hear
good things about Joe Orengo from
Sacramento If he should plug
that shortstop gap then the Car
dinalS are going to make plenty OF
trouble"
Terry said he preferred the chan
ces of the Cardinals over the
Pirates, despite the fact that Pitts
burgh finished only two games
back of the champion Cubs and
1512 in front of st. Louis in the
1888 race.
pittsburgh isn't going to be any
BETTER opined Terry. "They have
some players on that club who've
been around too long. When a team
doesn't win a pennant for II years
it's time to make some big changes.
I can't see where the Pirates have
done a thing to help themselves
during the winter. They let Al
Todd go TO Boston, and took on
Ray Mueller. Mueller may be a
better receiver but they are going
to miss Todd's punch
