GALEH0U5E May
GET STEADY JOB
WITH RED S0x
Believes He Will Be Given
Opportunity TO Show
His Stuff
BY DILLON GRAHAM
AP Feature Sports Writer

SARATOGA, Fla, March 30
Dennis GalehouSe- has been fidd-
ling around the American league
for several years but he's never
pitched his way into baseball's Who's
Who book.
And if a player has enjoyed even
average success you'll find his record
in this little information pamphlet.
You can gather that Galehouse
hasn't been a ball of fire.
He was ticketed as a great pros
pect when he came up to Cleveland
from New Orleans in the Southern
Association several springs ago. But
for this reason or that he never
blossomed into a big-league star.
Denny isn't blaming anyone. But
he feels the trouble is that he hasn't
been given enough opportunities to
show his stuff. He needs a lot of
work. And with Bob Teller, Mel
Harder, Johnny Allen, and other
good tossers around, Cleveland just
didn't use him enough to let him find
himself. At least, that's Galehouses
story.
He's Happy, Now
This spring he's with the Boston
Red Sox. And Boston is a club that
needs pitching. So Denny is happy
He figures that Joe Cronin will give
him the chance he's been waiting
for and that he'll prove himself a
winning twirler.
Denny went to Hot Springs few
weeks ago and came to the Sara
sofa camp in fine condition. He lost
more games than he won last year,
coping only seven triumphs. He's
pretty confident he'll at least double
his victories this season.
Galehouse has trace of Dutch
in him. It's just enough to make
him keep plodding along until he
gets what he wants. He wants a regu-
lar starting job with the Red Sox.
The Others
odiCliOuoC Id q OiS lCllCWs oOuiid-
ing feet l and weighing 100 pounds.
He's right-hander. He has a pretty
swift fast ball.
Denny is one of the three pitch
ers Manager Cronin acquired in
trades last winter. The others are
Eden Auker and Jake Wade. AUX
er is the chap with the battling un-
derhand delivery. A Highlander, he
won IL games for Detroit last year
Wade is a southpaw from Detroit,
who5ll win some games for the Red
Sox if he can locate the plate.
Otherwise Boston's pitching staff
is the same-Jim Bagby, Lefty
Grove, Emerson Dickman, Fred Os-
termueller, Jack Wilson and Joe
Heving. Charles Wagner from Min
neapolis and woodrow Rich from
Little Rock may stick but both could
stand a little more seasoning.

Owners Are Outside
The owners of the building, Mr.
and Mrs. H. F. Harper who lost their
garage and everything in it in the
fire of 1884 are now in Seattle and
are stopping at the Hungerford Ho-
tel, planning to visit the Golden

before returning to Nome via plane.
W. r. Hinckley, manager, has rad
iced the Harpers That the building
is complete loss He is awaiting in

Hotel Space Lacking
The hotel accommodations in
Nome are again at a disadvantage.
The hotel was newly constructed
after the big fire five years ago and
leaves only the pioneer Lincoln Ho-
tel which last year was partially
wrecked by the storm on the Ber-
ing Sea beach,
Nomeites are now raising a cry
for a modern concrete hotel build
ing.
Second Alarm
Lines of frozen hose, picked up
and placed in the Fire Department
Hall to thaw out, were again taken
out and water played on the burn
ing wreckage of the building as late
as IL O'Clock last night when smould-
ering timbers of dilapidated build
ings were famed into flame by
high wind which suddenly sprang
up.

Charles j. CLASSIFY, from Fairbanks,
recent arrival, lost all OF his personal
effects in the fire.

During the 6-year period, 1888 to

Tells Helena Rotary Club Present Sit

Shifting of the status of the
United States from that of debt

by Jay G. Diamond of Helena,
senior statistician for the bureau
of agricultural economics, for I'M

country. Mr.. Diamond told the
Helena Rotary club that chaotic,

creditor of other countries, a situation
developed which only longtime reme-
dies. not necessarily legislative, can
solve
Insecure Basis
Although the economics of agricul-
ture in this country have always been
conducted upon sort of "hit or miss"
basis, Diamond said, the fact that
debtor nations have, during the past
few years. rehabilitated themselves and
lean products has been one of the most
important factors initiating against
the agricultural industry.
Cattle and wool producers must
eventually look at the whole picture"
he said, land all agricultural produc-
ers must learn that If we want pros
pertty 1t must be brought about by
prosperity in world markets.
On Haphazard Methods

He said that American industry and
American agriculture has always pro-
duced for foreign markets and that
before agricultural prices go up much

situation will be necessary.
