Cutter Babe Will Base
On Tired Avon River

After some speculation on the
rumor, authoritative word comes
from the Eastern Shore that the
weu-known cutter Babe. winner and
runner-up in numerous Southern
ocean races, is going to base on the
Tired Avon River near Oxford this
summer with new owner, Francis
Bidwell. If Babe decides to enter
bay competition, you can look for
some surprises. She will rate in
class c of the cruising division.
If Jim Speer builds that new cutter
for bay racing the two boats GER
tainly will be at each other.

TOURIST EASY MONEY

Whatever we may think of GU,
industries which are about the only
regular source of money brought in
and spent in the community, full
credit should be given to the tour
list who brings in outside money and
puts it into circulation; this is
sassy" money for we are doing 50
little to encourage the drift of the
tourist in our direction.
With one of the great national
fairs on this coast at San Francisco
there will certainly be double the
trek to the West of last year, when
according to the State Progress
Commission some $83,000,000 was
brot In and spent in the cities, the
highway and mountain resorts: not
to speak of the few with money
who thought the state worth stay
ing in.
Perhaps we cannot hope for new
industries while present conditions
continue, or much expansion of ex-
listing industries to afford more en-
ployment. but more effort is need
ed to attract the tourists and d.
rect them one way through this
state with stopovers and side trips
so that the tourist dollar may be
widely scattered and give q badly
needed boost.

The House defeat of the pro-
posal to fortify Guam was of con-
siderable Importance for the light
it casts on the problem of national
defense. Administration leaders,
for the most part, were strongly
back of the proposal, on the prin-
cipal that we should take the
Strong line" in our Pacific defense
against a possible assault by ia
pan. The majority whips in the
House did their best to line up
enough votes to carry the meas
ure, but they failed by con-
siderable margin.
Reason for failure is found in the
apparent growing opinion that, if
we are to keep out of war, we must
spend our money principally for
the weapons essential to teTit0r-
ial defense. Many experts think
that it is tactically impossible to
defend either Guam or the Philip
pines and that if we attempt to
do so, by sending our fleet thous-
andS of miles from the major bases
of supplies, we would risk a ruin
GUS defeat. They argue that no
power could successfully attack
either the Hawaiian Islands
where our Pearl Harbor Naval Base
rules the Pacific-or our mainland.
This is. our logical sphere Of power,
they reason, and we should look no
farther.
Some development may change
this plan before long. But the
House vote on the Guam fortifi-
cation bill indicates the general
trend of sentiment.

be interesting for taxpayers to ex-
anime carefully the bills passed at
this session-look at them one by
one-and calculate the number
which will add to business or en-
ployment or produce other than a
government payroll. This examin-
alton will disclose that probably
twenty-five or fifty percent OF the
bills are distinctly unfavorable to
commercial development while less
than five percent grant small con-
cessions to business. A state does
not develop on the money given
away by government. 1t can only
develop by productive industry.
Some day even legislators will und-
erstand.

call it reimbursement. However,
these educationalists of today have
replaced the long-faced truant Of

heart, with person who studies

to scare and to force. There are

THE SHAREHOLDERS

The problem Of the sharecrop-
per is a major issue in the very
present panic of land and crop
control. The southern states are
those most affected by these white
and negro families who move from
place to place hoping to find green
er pastures and more abundant
life. There are many of these NOV
ing groups who would constantly
shift to other acres despite the
present conditions, and the other
mfortunates who would remain on
one plantation if needed. One OF
the chief troubles that the land
owner no longer needs many OF
them. The tnroads made by the
machine over the hand labor Is
a main issue. There will evolve
from this situation some sort OF
solution, we pray.
There are many wise heads
working on this problem of the
sharecropper, and one southern
newspaper has made a stride in
bringing light into dark places
There was a contest started to
plant to Prosper" contest In
teresting to small landowners
sharecroppers, and tenant farm
ers, with prizes ranging from $45C
to $500. The idea was to continue
to raise the cotton crop for the
landowner, but on the side, start
a garden for themselves Of vege-
tables for table and canning. Have
a horse, mule, COW and pig anc
grow feed for them. Plant to pros.
per and aim for the prize! Thi.
contest started out dealing witt
crop planting and has affected
living conditions, good citizenship
and makes a more contented ant
happier south. There are eigh,
states where sharecroppers hav'
enlisted. The first year 100
families enrolled and the goal 70

Put Preakness
Above Derby
Desire to Wipe Out
Loss to 81 Chico
To Spice Race
BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, April Sit was wet
and cold out on the Aqueduct track
and Volitant, just in from workout,
shook his head and drops of water
splattered over the boys who were
sponging him of. He is big, fine
looking horse and he would have a
rattling good chance to win the Ken
lucky Derby if he were entered.
He isn't, though, and thereby
hangs the tale. He is Maryland
horse. born and bred, and John S.
Morris, who owns him in partner
ship with George Bull, is Maryland
turfman. For him, and lot like
him, the Preakness is the greatest
horse race on the continent.
So Volitant will be on hand when
they line up at Pimlico, May l3. John
Goldsborough, his trainer, who thinks
he would go well in the Derby, is
even more optimistic about the
Preakness."
We followed Goldsborough into a
cottage hard by the rainlashed
track. He sat in a rocker by the
pot-bellied stove and talked about
Volitant.
Almost Beat Ell Chico.
"He was a good 2-year-old. He ran
six times and won four races. Ell
Chico. the Kentucky Derby favorite,
beat him by a length in the Junior
Champion Stakes and believe me
another jump and Volitant would
have had him.
He has trained very well here
He has grown a good bit and he is
stronger. Funny, he has full
brother, Ekwinok, 2-year- old,
training. and he looks better than
Volitant did at this stage a year
ago. They are both by Display out
of Fighting Anna. She was by
Flight of Time. Display is the one
to remember, though.
"Volitant worked 7 furlongs in
1:31 the other morning and pulled
up the mile in 1:46. We feel pretty
good about his training. AS it
stands now we will run him in the
Chesapeake for his first spring start.
We have named him for Jamaica's S
Wood Memorial the week before
the Derby, but If he goes very we'll
in the Chesapeake we will hold him
out and wait for the Preakness."
Meade May Ride Him.
Volitant lost a close decision to
Technician in the Flamingo Stakes
in Florida this winter. Goldsbor-
ough doesn't mind that, but the
defeat by Ell Chico last summer
still rankles.
Harry Richards was up on Voli-
tant in that race and Goldsborough
thinks he lost the race by driv-
ing Volitant around Ell Chico and
Johnstown. "By the time he swung
to the inside it was too late
Goldsborough explained.
1--WE won't have that trouble this
year. Richards learned not to rush
him then and we may have Dor
Meade for the Preakness. Meade
rode him in the Flamingo. But
that's water under the bridge; we'll
show him a real hoss this year."

All But ; Teams
Have Marks Of
500 or Better
Giants Sweep Week S
Set to Take First
Place From Browns
By JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The major
league baseball teams are squeezing
out some juicy percentages in their
grapefruit stand since starting the
homeward shuttle against an assort-
ment of minor league StoOgeS.
The froth is so thick. in fact, that
only three of the 16 fugitives from
the big top have failed to win half
or more of their games. This makes
it possible for followers of all except
the Cleveland Indians, Philadelphia
Phils and Boston Bees to point with
pride to the startling strides of their
heroes.
Records Mean Little.
The New York Giants. who played
just three games and won them all
during the week. replaced the st.
Louis Browns at the top OF the
Southern standings with record OF
10 games won and two lost, but the
best mark for the full schedule was
the six games won and one lost by
the St. Louis Cardinals.
These won and lost records aren't
likely to rate any closer inspection
than the batting averages during
this period. however. The New York
Yankees who a few days ago were
being joshed about their world
championship in showing a mere
500 average in eight games. now
rank third in the citrus standing
with IA victories against defeats.
Yet their performance agains ma
jor league opponents still is only
seven wins and six losses for a 533
figure.
Such scores as the Cardinals 22-0
shutout of Columbus. Ga, yesterday:
the Boston Red Sox trampling of
Louisville, 24-2: the Yankees stam-
pede of Tallahassee. 22-3, and ad in
finitum have subjected the minor
league entertainment to scorn. But
some of the series between the ior
leaguers themselves have been
anything but serious.
Scoring Is Heavy.

Cubs Defense Is Hit
AS Ai|ing Barte||
Has 10 Quit
Dick Lost for Season
Start; Mesner His Sub,
Weak on Grounders
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 3.-Physicians of
the Chicago Cubs will give Short
stop Dick Bartell, incapacitated by
a rheumatic ankle, thorough phys
ical checkup when he arrives to-
morrow from the West Coast.
Manager Gabby Hartnett ordered
Bartell to return to Chicago Satur-
day after the star shortstop's swollen
left ankle showed no sign of healing
in training camp.
Dick Out of Inaugural.
The sending of Bartell home for
treatment almost definitely pre-
cludes his being in the lineup when
the National League champions
open the season two weeks hence.
If his three -week-old ailment is
remedied in short order, he still will
have to get in playing condition. He
has been unable to play in any ex-
hibition games.
If he is lost for any considerable
period. it will indicate the Cubs got
the short end in their big winter
season trade with the New York
Giants. Chicago sent Shortstop Bill
Jurges, Outfelder Frank Demaree
and Catcher Ken ODea to the
Giants for Bartell, Outfelder Hank
Leiber and Catcher Gus Mancuso.
Mesner Weak on Defense.
Meanwhile. Steve Mesner, 81
year-old rookie, is handling short
stop for the Cubs. He is batting
close to $50 in Is exhibition games,
but is uncertain on defense.
Since the seriousness of Bartell's
injury became known. Billy Herman,
veteran second baseman, has been
tutoring Mesner daily on handling
of ground balls.
