D. c. Team in Striking
Distance of Orioles

With titular chances hinging
largely on the outcome of tonight S
tussle with the Sea Gulls at Atlantic
City, the Washington Eagles today
were preparing for a stretch drive
scrap which still may land them the
Eastern Amateur Hockey League
championship, they hope.
After an uphill battle of several
weeks, the Eagles today were en-
trenched in second place, and VIC
tory tonight would lift the Eagles to
within six points of the league
leading Baltimore Orioles.
Garry Fight to Leaders. :
What encourages Washington is
the fact that three of its seven
games after tonight will be against
Baltimore. Other things being equal,
the Eagles still can tie for the
championship and necessitate a
playoff by sweeping those games
with the Orioles.
Washington got a ga decision
over the Jersey Skeeters last night
at Riverside Stadium before 5000
spectators. its fifth game without
defeat since it suffered 20 trim

WON'T WORK

Herbert Hoover while president con
ceived the idea of having big business
regulate itself. That was exactly
what it had always done. A confer.
ence was called and the big wigs OF
the Industrial world hailed the plan as
ideal but nothing came of it. The
NRA was another attempt to "shackle
cunning as we have shackled force
but 1t met its Waterloo in the famous
chicken case from Long Island. Gov.
Ayers learning nothing and forgetting
nothing has done his utmost to bank
rupt the small stockmen of the state
and is succeeding admirably in the
range counties of eastern Montana.
Many small operators are today at
their wits end to provide summer
range for their flocks and herds and
unless the grass conservation act is
speedily amended they will be fored
out of the business. This act was
another effort to have big business
regulate itself but it has failed as all
such schemes must. Greed and self
ishness never regulate itself. 1t grows
on what it feeds upon. Heroic effort
is necessary to draw its fangs and
pare it's claws. Government betrays
its trust when it fails to protect the
fold from the wolf.

WORLD MOVES

"The world do move" said the col
ored sage and the writer is in hearty
accord. The conviction came like the
rush of a spring torrent when the
Chinook Opinion on May 10th ran a
modest editorial mildly boosting the
cooperative movement among farm
ers. In the 20 years we have taken
the Pioneer paper of the Milk River
Valley it has never done anything so
radical. If the new editor cuts loose
like this another time or two he will
be denounced by the local Lions Club
as red and may be deported to Har-
lem in custody of the news editor who
will surely bisect his larynx Through

was directing editor of the Opinion

never permitted to appear in its col

might say. For years Brooks and his
compatriots waxed fat by salvaging
the flotsam and jetsam tossed from
court house but along came the New
Deal and a board of democratic COM
missioners which left the Opinion high
and dry on the rocks. The only life
line left was the rural subscribers
whose interests and welfare had been
treated SO contemptuously for two de-
cades. And now Brooks abandoned
the derelict and accepted job on the
Great Falls Tribune where he writes
editorials boosting democratic policy
instead of scorching the columns of
the Opinion denouncing them. Beats |

A passing automobile frustrated what might have been serious finale to an argument on Willow street late yesterday afternoon and led to the arrest of two men, prin- cipals in an argument that started in cobblers' shop and terminated in the participants landing in un- expected places-police headquar- ters and the hospital.
 Tn the opinion of the authorities the auto accident averted what might have been disastrous results for one William Daddario, 35, of l2 Etna street and for his would-be assailant, George Mendillo, 5l, of 583 Cooke street. And the auto mis- hap incidentally could have been an auto fatality. Mendillo hit by the passing car suffered fractured wrist and lacerations of the scalp. He will be unable to work at his trade for weeks to come. When he is discharged from the Waterbury hospital he will be arraigned in po- lice court on the charges of breach of the peace and attempted assault.
 Daddario was presented in court this morning and obtained a con- tinuance of his case under bonds of $100 until November 18th He is charged with breach of the peace
 Unexpected Ending
 According to the story, Daddario visited Mendillos shop at 27 Will low street and warned him about annoying his father. Mendillo hurled a shoe at Daddario and the latter hurled it back. It is then al- legged that Mendillo seized a knife and started for Daddario, who avoided the attack by running out of the store and across Willow street. Mendillo in hot pursuit was hit and knocked down by a car op- erated by Robert Fumire, 26, of 65 Harpers' road.
 The police ambulance and several police cruisers were soon on the scene. A traffic jam resulted on Willow and West Main streets.
 Other cases heard in city court today were: Hugh Erskine 34, of 68 Pond street, charged with breach of teh peace and intoXication. Judge T. E. Conway imposed a $5 fine and cost on each count. Erskine was ar rested Wednesday night by Patrol man Falvey on complaint of the mans wife that he was causing dis turbance in tho house. Testifying in
