They Still Hustle
They are hustling as hard as
ever. There's not the slightest sign
of the overconfidence that has
wrecked many championship clubs
in the past.
The chief ambition of every
player is to win the World Series

again this year." he said.
These Yanks know they are
good. They figure they can beat
any team in baseball But they
don't subscribe to such high rat
ing as some of their admirers have
given them.
They believe that they must
travel at top speed all season to
win Boston and Cleveland are get
ting tougher all the time. And the
Yanks know it will require their
best collective efforts to whip them.
Mccarthy Confident
Mccarthy confidently believe 5
the Yanks will win another world S
championship next october. But
he won't predict that. Marse Joe
plays EN- too close to his vest to
make such a spring forecast.
The 1889 champions and the
powerful, colorful 1927 outfit under
Miller Higgins are generally re-
garded as the greatest of Yankee
teams.
Mccarthy answers the question
of how those two clubs compare
by remarking that no club ever
won so many championships as his
present outfit.
How the 1889 Yankees would
fare with the 1927 club is only con-
lecture he says. 1T is just inter-
esting conversation for the fans.
Like arguments about how Joe
Louis compares with Jack Demp-
sey or John l.. Sullivan. The cur
rent Yankees have successfully
executed their assignments. That's
the most that could be expected of
/ them "ss .3s. 4.-r-. tl4. l..seess.
It's pretty easy to guess. though,
which club Mccarthy would pick.
And if his Yanks don't win an
other World Series next fall Big
Joe will be the most surprised man
in baseball.

whose only reward is the satiSfac-
ton of seeing its membership de-
crease. No commissions are involved
either from the employer or from
the club. Expenses are taken care
of by voluntary contributions of the
members.
The same idea is being worked out
by the Quota Club of the Profess
sional Womens groups. Moreover,
for the past seven years a very eff
fective plan has been operating at
Babson Park and is known as the
School for Positions. Each group
of students goes through an inten-
sive course of self-analysis, voca-
tional guidance, job craftsmanship,
morale building. Each member of
the class carries with him when job
seeking u catalogue Of the qualifi-
cations and experience of all other
members of the class. When a men,
Der finds an opening that he cannot
fill himself, he checks his catalogue
with the employer and suggests an

the class who is qualified.
Business Needs Such Spirit
Readers can undoubtedly cite many
other plans TO show that cooperative
job-seeking is becoming great sue
cess. Many observers believe that the
spirit of these movements must be
introduced into other brances o.
business. The success of the Forty
Plus Clubs and similar experiments
in cooperative job-seeking clearly in
dictates that the desire Of one man to
help another is not dead. If the latent
power Of this Golden Rule could be
reaWakened and harnassed through
some practical church leadership lin

tackled in certain parts Of the United

DUKE, CAROLINA PLAY
ON SATURDAY NIGHT

Chapel Hill, May 1.-THE Caro-
lima and Duke baseball teams will
get together under the stars for the
second contest of their annual three
game series at Greensboro Saturday
night when they square Off at 8
o'clock in the Gate City's spacious
Memorial Stadium.
The concluding game of the series
will be played at Chapel Hill Mon
day afternoon at o'clock on Eemer-
son Field
The game will have several ere
Ivenge aspects" with the Tar Heels
hopeful Of doing all the avenging.
UppermOst in the minds of the play
erS is the fact that a Carolina team
has never beaten Duke under the
floodlights in the Gate City. The
Ineighboring rivals have met six
times in Greensboro in The last seven
years and Duke has won on each
occasion. The remaining game was

he faces the Blue Devils. Benton had
won four games without defeat be-
fore the Deacons dubbed him for II
hits and a to 3 victory this week.

Babson Cites Growth Of
Spirit of Cooperation
(Continuer From rage One)

operative movement in the last year
is in the employment field. The
Forty Plus Club of Boston has been
the pioneer in this cause. Many
readers have already heard Of this
movement which has famed out
across the United States and into
Canada. AS the name implies, all
members of the club are over forty
years of age and have earned over
$4,000 per year. Tired Of the con-
slant objection, Forty is the age
deadline for new employees here" a
group of these men formed the Forty
Plus Club two years ago.
The members 60 out to seek jobs,
not for themselves but for the others
in the club. A meeting is held once
week to discuss each job that has
been uncovered. If someone in the
club has the qualifications for the
JOB, he is endorsed by the placement
committee and an interview is ar
ranged with the prospective employ
er (WhoSe name is not revealed I'M
til then). If no one in the organiza-
ton is capable of filling the job,
a notice is sent to all other Forty
Plus Clubs. No member of the club
can accept a position thai is offered
directly to him. The idea is that each
member of the club is selling jobs
for every other member. This is the
Golden Rule Working in business.
Unselfish Employment Agency
Results obtained by the Forty
Plus Clubs have been amazing. Fig
ures show that 270 members of the
Boston Club alone have been re-
turned to industry in the past two
years. This cooperative job-seeking
movement is performing a wonder
full service not only for the unem-
ployed executive but for the pros
pective employer. The Forty Plus
Club acts as a high-grade, unselfish,

Ice Fans Now Have
 Jitters

Most talked of Alaskan topic of the day, the spring breakup, finds in terest growing hourly, says the Fair banks News Miner of last Friday. April 12
 From all points throughout the vast Yukon watershed and on the Kuskokwim come reports of unpre- cedented high temperature for the period and indications of an carly opening.
 Persistent high temperatures over the vast area the last ten days to two weeks - approaching summer records = are setting early calcula- tions of ice-breaking fans awry. All agree that unless the mercury re- treats the ice may begin to break at all points soon.
 Water is running on the ice from small streams and on some of the larger rivers.
 Nenana Condition
 Reports from Nenana say the Ne mana River, just below the town, is throwing a lot of water into the Panama and may cut out the ice to such an extent that the marker which determines the result in the Nenana ice classic will go out days ahead of the average.
 One recent arrival from Nenana predicted the marker will be swept away before the main body of ice above or close to the town is re- leased
 Ice fans are now picking carly dates, and many hedging on their early predictions. Only a sudden and prolonged cold spell, the ma jority agree, can hold the ice to anywhere near the average date.
