For Headline Suggestion

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The New
York Daily Mirror sent a check for
$5.94 to President Roosevelt yester-
day-cub headline writer's pay for
one day under the Mirrors contract
scale-for an editorial suggestion by
the President which the Mirror
adopted
The President, after having quoted
from Carl Sandburg's book on Abra-
ham Lincoln at Tuesdays press con-
ference, was asked by a reporter
what sort of a lead the President
would put on the story Mr.. Roose-
velt suggested: President Quotes
Lincoln and Draws Parallel"
That was the Mirror headline yes
terday.
The Mirror said it deducted from
the So beginners daily wage rate
cents for social security (the Presi-
dent may thus draw IL cents at the
age of 65) and would pay 18 cents
State unemployment tax.

CAIRO, Egypt, Aug. 2l.-Tough-
skinned British shippers guiding
what they call "glorified potato
barges" through the Mediterranean
swells are partly responsible for
the continued resistance of Tobruk-
now in its fifth month of an his
toric siege.
These little trawlers wallow
through the shining waters of bomb
alley"-the wreck-strewn harbor of
Tobruk-with food, munitions and
supplies to keep the British garri-
son alive and kicking at that out
post behind the Axis lines in Libya.
Life on these vessels, observers
agree, is probably the toughest In
the Royal Navy. Members of the
crew, wearing lifebelts, sleep on top
of the cargo matches, ready to man
the guns the instant their vessel
is attacked by bombers.

NEW YORK, Jan. Il. (UP)-The
Boston Bees are all set to defend
successfully their rights to seventh
place in the National league this
season. They never made single
move this winter to strengthen their
club in deals with other major
league clubs-the only one Of the
16 which remained stagnant in this
respect.
Any help the Bees get must come
from their minor league acquisi-
tions. There are Is of them and
Judging from their record at Hart
ford, Evansville, York, etc, they do
not seem to be ready to set the
league on fire. Possibly the mac
tivity of the Bees resulted from the
rumored sale of the club which
never came off.
From another angle, the fact that
the Bees didn't make any deals
might mean that the club actu-
ally will go to the post stronger
outfit. They still have Eddie Miller,
perhaps the majors greatest short
stop. Whereas if they had made
a major league deal Miller un-
doubtedly would be playing for the
other side.

to cash in on the Nev-Cal-
son battle when they dropped four
points to the Owl Billiard team
There would be a 3-way tie for
first place had the gaSnen done the
expected and pushed the Owls fur
ther into the cellar. Henry Mills
with a SAL was the principal reason
such a deadlock doesn't exist.
The Tropics Cafe keglers pace
the Valley league but are only :
points in front of Builder Uppers.
These two teams tangle on January
30th and the results of their meet
ing might very well determine the
winner.
A spectator overheard a fem
inine Japanese bowler exclaim late
last month, Look at all those scores
listed unCer the Ladies 200 or

that group before long. Several days
later theN young lady won high for
the day with $50. And on last Fri
Gay the persistent little Nipponese
keglerette, Oracle Tanda, landed in
the select group with a smashing

age for any twenty-thirtian is It's

handicap and getting extra pins
when needed accounts for the 20-30
position. However, the clubmen are

heavy blow at the pennant hopes OF
the Seattle Indians.
Lelivelt, who took over the In
dians three years ago when Seattle
was tail-end ball club, boosted
them to second place in 1888 and
won the coast league pennants in
1899 and 1910.
The likeable Jack had previously
managed the Los Angeles Angels in
the Coast league and it was during
that period that Los Angeles be-
came the unbeatable ball club of the
Coast league.
Jack had a knack of grooming
winning ball clubs and at Seattle
he had complete control of the
team. His position was the envy
of all other managers in the
league because he had no inter-
ference from the front office.
Emil Sick, owner Of Seattle. said
to Jack when he took over the
team, You handle the ball club
and Iii take care of the finances. y
The system worked perfectly
Jack turned out a winning ball club
and Sick did more than balance
his budget. Seattle played before
more customers than any other
minor league ball club in the ma
ton.
