Speaking of Sports
Baseball's Best
Pilots Pla.yed
Average Came
By ROBERT McSHANE

A MOTHER major American cri-
sis developed not long ago when
columbia Lou" Gehrig benched
himself after establishing what may
be an all-time record for consecu-
tive games. Plainly the iron man
was nearing the end of the trail.
Huge, salty tears were shed over
Gehrig's impending doom. What did
baseball intend to do for the man
who has done so much for it? Who
would reward him with manageri-
al job? Forgotten was the fact that
Gehrig hasn't yet retired, that he
isn't decrepit individual requiring
a guiding hand to steer him to the
closest relief agency.
But the American sports-loving
public is like that. Let one of its
heroes start slipping and the hue
and cry is nation wide. He must

Jack of All Trades

ONE of baseball's sensations
- though not for his playing abil-
ity-is Morris (Moe) Berg, scholar,
gentleman and catcher for the Bos-
ton Red Sox.
Not that Moe isn't good base
ball player. He is. But he's such
versatile Individual that his ac-
complishments in other fields tend
to awe the average onlooker.
To begin with, Moe can talk fast
and furiOusly in five different Ian
guages, and has a working knowl-
edge of about dozen more. He
studied Romance languages at
Princeton, graduating in 1923. He
originally planned on going to the
Sorbonne in Paris to study phonet-
les, but decided to finance his con-
tinued education by playing ball
with Brooklyn. He played the sum-
mer of 1923 and then went to Paris.
When he came back the follow
ing summer the Dodgers weren't
particularly impressed. The winter
spent in study hadn't helped his hit
ting, so he was sold to Minneapo-
lis. From Minneapolis he went to
Reading in the International league,
and from there to the Chicago White
Sox in 1925.
Deciding on further education,
Moe enrolled in the law school of
Columbia university. He passed
the New York state bar examina-
tons in 1929. His comprehensive
knowledge was ably demonstrated
recently when he appeared on quiz
program over a nationwide hoOkup.
He astOnished even his fellow broad
casters with his rapid-fire answers
to the brain-stumping questions.
In addition to his other accom-
plishments, Moe is familiar with the
scores of several operas, and is
lover of the drama. A real gourmet,
he knows the best restaurants in
all the cities on the big league route.
Moe, despite his amazing versatile
ity, is primarily a baseball player.
He doesn't want to be known as
lawyer or linguist, he wants to be
looked upon as conscientious,
Woodworking catcher.
He played on the 1888 Washington
team, under Manager Joe Cronin,
and Cronin, Berg's boss now on the
Red Sox, will attest to Bergs value
to the team which won the Ameri-
can League championship. He
plays a steady, consistently good
game, and though no second Babe
Ruth, manages to be a dangerous
hitter in pinch.
Nor does he play baseball for
the money involved. He has been
a well-paid player, and in addition,
is member of a New York law
firm, and a director of two New Jer-
sey manufacturing plants.

be rewarded. What can we do for
him? The fact that the big sports
figure may make more in a week
than the average person does in
year is seemingly beside the point.
1t was black mark against base
ball, according to calamity howlers,
that Babe Ruth wasn't given man.
ayers job when he retired. He was
the games most cOl0rful figure,
packing the stands wherever he APP
peared and giving the best years of
his life to the diamond wars. Ruth
was the highest paid baseball play
er in history, signing contracts at a
top price Of $4,000 per year. That
total didn't include income ON royal
ties and syndicated newspaper sto-
ries. Yet Ruth's. failure to find an
executive position caused wide
spread wailing.
Unsung Heroes
Overlooked is the fact that each
year a lot of fast, smart ballplayers
go by the boards. They, too, have
devoted their best years to the
game, but when the final day rolls
around they cast an agonized eye
over the bank book and wonder
where they're going to open a filling
station or lunch counter. They did
a lot for the game, but they weren't
heroes.
There seems to be some good rea-
son why great baseball stars aren't
usually picked when managers are
appointed. Some of them have, such
as Iris Speaker, Cobb and Walter
johnson. But they didn't last. The
most successful managers seem to
be those men who were good play
ers, but not great ones.
Connie Mack, the most widely
known, was once catcher-and
good one. But experts don't rate
him with Killing, Bresnahan and
Archer.
> Oscar Witt, Cleveland manager,
was formerly major league infeld-
err. He isn't remembered for his
outstanding ability as player.
Rather he was reliable performer
who played a steady game. So was
Fred Haney, manager of the
Browns, also former infelder.
Joe Mccarthy, the most success
full manager in baseball, could never
make the grade, as a. big-league
player. A second baseman, McCar-
thy's fame as a player never spread
past the minors and his ability was
never tested in big-time competition.
Success Stories
Casey Stengel and Jimmy Dykes
were better than the average ball
player in their best years, but nei-
Their of them were world heaters.
Since they shed their uniforms
they've been doing better than all
right. Del Baker Of the Tigers was
a catcher in his day, but didn't do
so we'll in the majors. That didn't
prohibit him from becoming a good
manager.
With so many players of average
ability making the grade as man
ayers, it seems more than coinci-
dence that the stars fail in an exec
utive capacity. 1t seems, though. a
waste of sympathy to shed tears
over a great man whose playing
career is drawing to close. He
has made money, has a host of
friends and admirers and has led
the kind of an existence he wanted.
Because baseball doesn't offer him
a managers job it doesn't mean that
moguls of the game are hard-heart-
ed wretches, casting off man when
his usefulness is over. A man may
be a great ball player, but lack the
essential qualifications of a good
manager.
Fortunately, ball club owners real
ize that.

Helena Paper Gives Browning
Lions B. B. Team Big Send-off

Helena, March 3.-One of the
outstanding teams to compete in
Yesterdays contests at the Y.
M. G A. state tournament was
the Browning Lions. all-Indian
aggregation from the redskin
territory. Seldom is such floor
work or team organization seen
or the love of contest so clearly
manifest. The boys accepted all
penalties smilinQly and played
one of the cleapest games seen
on the floor since the beginning
of the tourney. They Travelled
over 200 miles in a poorly shod"
automobile and spent a large
part of the time repairing blow
outs and punctures. At one time
they were required to go three
miles and back after a necessary
repair. They arrived shortly be-
fore their contest with the
league leading Natural Gas crew
from Butte, and came out the
losers. 80 &c. Following that
they had to wait until after mid
night for their next game-with
Helena Hardware. Still tired
having been too excited to get
much rest-the dusky boys went
down to defeat, 31.2S.

With Montana's
Legislature

When the 26th Montana legislature
adjourned shortly after midnight last
Thursday it hung up a record of being
the first lawmaking assembly in the
history Of the state to finish its work
without extending the sixtieth day. Only
four minutes time separated the ad-
journment of the two branches.
According to those who made up the
Legislative body, and to close observers
of its activities, much constructive leg
islation was accomplished by the 1899
session.
Both presiding officers, Speaker Dave
Manning Of the house, and Lieutenant
Governor Adair, who waved the gavel
in the senate, have expressed them
selves freely as being well pleased with
the work performed by the assembly.
In line with the message of Gov. Roy
E Ayers, the assembly voted no new
taxes and brought appropriations within
anticipated revenue when sharp cuts
were made in major appropriation
measures the last week of the session.
Members of both houses expressed
plated appropriations for public welfare
and the water conservation board for
this purpose, but said there was no
other way to comply with the mandate
of the state constitution.
Legislation for the welfare of the
Treasure state was threatened with
eclipse the last few days of the session
as reports Of special investigating CON-
mittees were filed in both houses.
One recommended the impeachment
of Attorney General Harrison j. Free
bourn on charges by the investigat-
ing committee he had accepted $1,000
to permit the placing of slot machines
in Montana.
A motion to impeach failed in the
house, so to 48-the affirmative vote
being two short of the necessary of
the majority elected.
Another report charged the liquor
brokerage system in Montana was be
coming a racket" and recommended an
investigation of income tax returns by
federal officials. Numerous changes in
the present liquor control system were
recommended.
Other reports recommended sweeping
changes in the state university system
and the public welfare department.
Too great proportion OF public well
fare funds went for administrative costs,
the investigating committee charged.
Reports were submitted on several
other state departments.
Montana took place in the nations
headlines when both houses of the leg
islature approved a 3o-day divorce act,
and repeated few days later when
Governor Ayers vetoed the bill saying
he did not want Montana to CONNER
cialize" on the unfortunate marriages"

A bill to legalize and license gam
bling was killed
These were among the stories from
the legislature which caught the eyes
of the headline writers, but there were
other phases Of the 60-day session not
able for what was done and what was
not done.
OF particular interest to Montana's
far-flung livestock and agricultural in
dustry were the grass conservation act
and new soil conservation law to
replace the measure passed two years
ago and found to be unavoidable
Another recommendation of the gov
ernor was carried out when bill was
passed providing for refunding of
S418,000 in capitol building bonds.
Included in the list of bills of general
interest killed was the uniform drivers

Advertising of Montanas resources
and scenic attractions was provided for
with two $4,000 appropriations-one
for a campaign by the highway de-
partment in publications of nationwide
circulation, and one at the San Fran
cisco fair.
A referendum on a S500,00O bond
issue for improvements at the state
hospital at Warm Springs, and another
to set a 3l2-mill levy for the greater
university, were approved.
A bill termed by Representative NJ
A. McClain of Missoula as one of the
most important of the session was the
one to allow cities, towns and school
districts to operate and maintain their
own recreational programs.
Women were granted the right to
serve on juries after passage of bill
battered about until the last days of
the session.
Bills to establish minimum wage
maximum hour standards and to set up
"a little Wagner act" for administration
of labor were killed after public hear
ings which attracted crowds which
taxed the capacity of the house cham
Der.
A bill to repeal the powers granted
the governor over appointivc offices
died when joint conference committees
were unable to agree and were dis
charged.
Two bills were passed validating the
highway debentures approved at the
November election half the $780,
600 issue was sold before the close of
the session at what were termed the
lowest interest rates in the highway
departments history.

End Of Legislature Shows
Constructive Work Of Law Making

A survey of the accomplish
ments of the 18th Montana Leg
islature shows a large number of
sound, constructive laws were
ground through the legislative
mill during the 60 day period.
The usual number of bills af-
fecting only one or a few persons
appeared this session and as usual
were defeated in most instances.
Laws to clarity portions of exist
ing laws also appeared in the
usual number. One striking
phase of the Legislature was the
defeat of virtually every tax bill
that came up.
