Still Good Defensively

You can guess what will happen
to the present race if the Yanks-
particularly the sluggers-really
wake up and climb back to their 1889
hitting form. It wouldn't take a
very big increase in hitting to put
them at the top of the league once
more.
The McCarthymen figure Cleve-
land as the team to beat due largely
to the Indians pitching staff. Then,
too, they feel that Cleveland has a
better infield than either Boston or
Detroit. The Red Sox are a gang
of hitters, but their own pitchers
don't help win enough ball games.
The Yanks it may be remem-
bered, lost their first six extra in
ming games. Some of the previous
years punch was lacking. It isn't
inconceivable that four pennants and
four World series in row had quite
bit to do with the lack of snap.
Why the Slump?
Hitting slumps are hard to pin
down-too many things enter in to
make definition or solution easy. A
slump might start out from purely
natural causes-such as bad body
motion. Then it turns into worry.
The hitter tries too hard, becoming
tighter with each trip to the plate.
Then the lack Of confidence disap-
pears after a few hits. The hitter
has his eye once more
But don't count the Yanks out yet.
They've done all right with a mis-
erably poor batting average, and
when they find themselves even a
nine or ten game lead won't look
too secure

free. The bodice can be fastened
with three buttons and turned
back in narrow, deep revers, or
buttoned almost to the throat, with
shallow revers.
Why not have it both ways, since
it's so very easy to make? There's
practically no detailing to it-just
a few gathers beneath the yoke
and darts at the waistline. The
circular skirt has a lovely, youth
full swing.
Pattern No. 1927 is designed for
sizes IA, 16, 10, 20; 40 and AZ. Size
16 requires AS yards of 39-inch
material without nap.

Bv ROBERT MeSHANE
Fifth Pennant?
Yanks Think So!

THE Yankees, whose courage and
optimism are much higher than
the teams batting average, still ex-
pect to win the American league
pennant.
The strategy they expect to en-
ploy is comparatively simple.
They're going to make powerhouse
drive in late August and September.
At least that's the present hope.
The Yanks have it all figured out
and not without considerable logic.
They point to the fact that they're
not SO far behind even with so many
of their better hitters below $50. 1t
wasn't so very long ago that MUIR
derer's Row" dwindled to puny .248
average-and bit lower. Even the
St. Louis Browns were above the
Yanks with a .257.

Lowered railroad rates may halt
the proposed construction of the g.

liam H. McIntire of Salt Lake City,
president of Inland Empire Rein
cries, Inc, following meeting of
directors called to award the con-
struction contract on the $4,000, 900
line
The arrival of Frank Newman,
vice president of the Great Northern
railway, caused postponment of the
company plans, and ii was reported
that the Great Northern proposed
lower rate on crude than that re-
Gently approved by the l. c. c., hop
ing that the lowered rates will save
this tonnage which would be lost
were a pipeline constructed.
The proposed 320-mile pipeline
was to have passed through or near
Kalispell where there are two re-
] fineries which might take their crude
! through this line, and it was planned
to take a branch off to Pocatello,
! Idaho, where a 1,500-barrel market
/ for Cut Bank crude would be in
sured by the pipeline connection.
The capacity of the Inland Empire
plant was to have been increased
from 1900 to 5000 barrels per
day and this with 500 barrels for
the Drumheller plant at Spokane
would have given a total through
put of nearly 5000 barrels per day,
the capacity of the line.
No statement was made follow
ing the conference of the refinery
officials with the railway execu-
tive Naturally, We do not want
to lose the business Mr. Newman
stated, saying that the railroad does
not wish to see the pipeline built
So far as is known, only a pre-
| liminary survey has been completed
and the right-of-way has not been
secured. However, Tulsa reports
last week had it that William Broth-
ers' Corporation of Tulsa was dow
bidder. No explanation was given
| in Spokane this week but it is gen
orally believed that talk of award
ing a contract ahead of the final
survey was premature.
The present rate on crude from
Cut Bank to Spokane is % cents
per hundred or approximately 66
cents per barrel This rate is said
to be too high to allow the Spo-
kane refineries to compete with
California gasoline transported by
tanker and barge to Columbia river
points in the Inland Empire ter
ritory.
There has been some talk of es-
1 tablishing trainload rates, on the
Great Northern from Cut Bank to
Spokane, following recent decision
of the I. G. c. in a blackstrap case
in the south where barge competi-
ton had to be met by rail carriers,
Spokane proponents of the pipeline
say that a rate of 40 cents per bar
rel would amortize the pipeline and
pay a good rate of return on the
investment. Inland Empire Rein
cries, Inc, is said to have already
financed the line.

self, the IVA has warred bitterly
with the general accounting office al
most from its inception. There is
no possible charge of partisanshlp
against the general accounting Of
fee. There is little complaint from
most strong New Deal agencies, In
Guiding the old AAA, the present
soil conservation substitute for AAA,
the various functions under Harold
L. Ickes, etc., all of which are audit
ed by the general accounting office.
As a matter of fact the IVA is
unique in not being required to SUBJ
init its books to the G.. A. O.
TIA Bitter against
General Accounting Office
So desperately is the iva admin
istration against the general ac-
counting Office that leaders in the
house recognized that If the May
amendment should prevail. it-would
be tantamount to defeating the ap-
preparation outright. Speaker Will
liam B. Bankhead took the floor on
the amendment and pointed out that
there might not be time to get
. through legislation putting IVA I'M
der the accounting Office in this ses-
sion, whereupon the appropriation
would be held up.
He did not say why there might
not be time, but everybody in the
hearing of his voice knew They
knew that every friend of IVA in
both house and senate would fight
such legislation bitterly.
Mr.. Bankhead was able to rally
the Democrats sufficiently on this
to beat the May amendment, 1853
to 1872. As matter of fact, whips
had been beating the bushes to get
administration members to the
floor, partly as a result OF the ter
rife administration opposition to
having the general accounting Office
auditing forced on IVA, and partly
because the previous votes had been
SO close as to throw scare into
IVA friends.
IVA officials, from David E. Lii
enthal down. have made no bones
of their hatred OF the general ac-
counting Office auditors.
But IVA critics say that if the
general accounting office forced the
IVA to keep its books in orthodox
fashion certain things would come
to light that the IVA wants to keep
hidden. IVA critics do not charge
corruption. But they do think that
the much vaunted yardstick would
vanish In thin air.

they have been saying is true, most
conservative Republicans will be
thumbs down on the New York dis
trict attorney. II he should follow
the line of the Minneapolis speech,
there are great many shrewd
politicians who think it will be very
difficult to beat him for the nomina-
ton.
What gives any observer here
pause is the tremendous sentiment
against Dewey which seems to exist
among conservative New York Re-
publicans-not Republican leaders,
particularly. but Republican bust
ness men and financiers.
The wild things they are saying
about DeWey's philosophy may not
be true, observers admit, but there
must be some reason why they are
SO strongly against him. When it
is eventually made clear just what
that motive is, the situation will be
clarified.
Conceivably, the downtown New
York opposition to Dewey might
prove an enormous asset in the rest
OF the country.
Such Economic Philosophy
You'd Cost Deipey Votes
One New Yorker attacking Dewey
told friends in Washington that
Dewey thinks the government should
take all of every income above
$4,000 year. Dewey has never said
anything to that effect in public.
Presumably, if that is an accurate
statement of his economic philos-
ophy, he will advocate it in some
speech to be made before the presi-
dental primaries are held. This
seems logical because If Dewey re-
ally believes that, which the writer
very much doubts, he would also
believe that it was good political doc
trine.
Candidates generally try to avoid
being smoked out in advance on is
sues. They like to figure timing"
But MIR. Dewey will not be able to
wait until he sees whether the DEM
ocrats renominate Roosevelt, name
another New Dealer, or place con-
sentative at the head OF their ticket
before making his position on sew
eral essential issues very clear. He
will have to do it before the first
important primary test in which he
meets Senator Robert A. Taft Of
Ohio and Senator Arthur II. Vanden-
berg Of Michigan
He ALL be constrained to do SO.
If for no other reason, because at
present he rs getting ait tire disad-
vantages OF his alleged radical
views, and none Of the advantages.

Kremer, for many years Democratic
national committeeman from Mon
tana, greet the senator warmly, and
engage in an apparent heart to heart
talk.
Now this was .shot stuff" to the
politically minded audience for more
than one reason. II was the first
time Wheeler and Kremer had
spoken pleasantly for many years.
They are old political feudists in
Montana. AS a matter of fact, it
was Bruce Kremer who figured in
the original GOODNESS between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Senator Wheeler.
Wheeler was one OF the For
Roosevelt Before Chicago" leaders.
With his then colleague, Senator
Thomas j. Walsh, he did yeoman
work in that preconvention cam
paign OF 1882. But unlike nearly
all the rest of the early workers in
the Roosevelt vineyard, Wheeler
didn't share. in the grape harvest.
The answer was Bruce Kremer.
Kremer was an old personal friend
OF Roosevelt. He stuck closely to
him during the campaign. After
election it was Kremer and not
Wheeler who got all the plums SO
far as>Montana patronage~Was con-
cerned. Wheeler didp<t like it and
was frank to his friends about it.
Kremer said nothing, but kept on
