Railroads Ordered
To Ignore State
Train Length Laws

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has ordered all railroads
to operate trains without regard
to state laws limiting the length
or number of cars. Such laws,
supported and passed at the in
stance of organized labor, are de-
signed to promote railroad safe
ty.
Some states limit the length of
freight trains to not more than
one-half mile and the number of
cars in a train to not more than
70 and in a passenger train to
IA and 16.
Compliance with these practic-
es in the present emergency, the
commission said, "may result in
congestion of tracks and termin-
ais, wasteful use Of locomotives
and interference with the free
flow of traffic necessary in the
present emergency"

Never have | been so proud
of a Newark high football team
as | watched our Cats tear a
temperamental Akron Garfield
eleven into shreds, 457, last Fri
day night under the lights in the
local stadium for their second
straight victory of the young
season. Newark will be seeking
win No. 3 as they end a home
stand by meeting Chillicothe in
the opening game of the Central
Ohio League at the White Field
stadium Friday night.
1t wasn't the winning of the
game nor the huge score the
Wildcats rolled up, but it was
the splendid manner in which our
Newark boys conducted them
selves on the field of play when
the other team began to play
dirty that made US so proud.
Their actions pay wonderful
tribute to the character and
coaching of Luther Hanshue and
Edgar Sherman.
In the second quarter, after
squarely played first period, Ak
ron staged the most unsports-
manlike actions ever seen on
the local turf. Our Wildcats
started to roll on their way to
victory and the Garfield boys re-
sorted to unfair tactics. They
piled on the ball carrier; they
slugged and they fouled whenev-
-er possible. Those actions pro-
duced one of the widest scenes
ever witnessed during a New
ark football game. However our
Wildcats refused to lose their
heads and they took advantage
of Akron penalties to aid them
on their way to victory.
Take the case of Jack (Rab-
bit) Bickle for instance. Akron
pounded him most numerically
and what happened? After TAX
ing a foul blow Bickel didn't
fight back with his fists as Ak
ron wanted him to. He simply
took hold of the pigskin and
plowed his way through the Ak
ron team for a touchdown in

With a preview Saturday night
and playing through Tuesday,
Oct. 6 at the Auditorium theater
is "The Big Shot," which has a
story and star combination for a
sure-fire hit. Starring Hum
phrey Bogart and the story is ac-
tion-packed. Bogart, a one-time
big shot gangster is caught be-
tween two fires. He can't go
straight because no honest per-
son wants to bother with a guy
who has been up the river three
times. And he can't get into any
more trouble because the next
time it's life. Hounded by his
past, taunted by his fellow gang
sters, Bogart is driven to dis
traction. Irene Manning plays
the top feminine role.

"Pride of the Yankees" At Midland Stars Gary COOPER

Using the great national game
of baseball as it's colorful back
ground, Samuel Goldwyn-s pro-
duction of "The Pride of the
Yankees" for RKO Radio release
brings to the screen both COM
pelling romance and the inspir-
ing real-life story of a great
American hero, Lou Gehrig, the
famous first-baseman of the New
York Yankees-with Gary Coop
er starring in the title-role.
All the sports world knew Geh-
rig, the ball-player, holder of
more than a score of diamond rec
ords, perhaps the most popular
figure the game ever produced.
Comparatively few knew Gehrig
the man, knew of his struggling
boyhood, his ambitions, his col
lege career, his marriage, his
personal life. 1t is this personal
phase that forms the basis of the
picture, filmed with the coopera-
tion of Mrs. Eleanore Gehrig, who
checked every detail to be sure
the offering was accurate in its
depletion of her famous husband.
The result is said to be an eX-
ceptionally impressive and ap-
pealing motion picture.
The film story begins in 1914
when the great Christy Matthew
son was the idol of American
youngsters, when Lou himself
was but eleven years old, the
son of poor German emmigrant,
but passionately devoted to base
ball. Urged on by his mother,
who is grimly determined her
Lou shall become an engineer, he
earns his way through Columbia
by waiting on table, but in his
spare time wins attention for his
athletic ability.
When his mother falls i'll and
needs expensive medical care,
Lou gives up his dreams of
profession and turns to baseball
in order to make money immedi-
ately. A tryout with the Yank-
ees, obtained for him by friend
ly newspaperman, brings him
contract and a seasoning period
with minor league club. In
1925 he comes back to the Yank-
ees and begins his record d-break-
ing career with that team -
career that was to establish his
all-time figure of 2130 consecu-
tive games.
In that same year he meets
Eleanor Twitchell, a Chicago So
ciety girl, whom he later mar
ries and whose devotion to him
during his greatest years and his
subsequent losing fight with par
alysis made their romance so
outstanding. The drama of that
fight, of LOUIS brave efforts to
'onceal the fatal truth from his
wife and of his teammates gal
liant support, builds up to the
pictures memorable climax. This
is the Lou Gehrig Day." July a,
1889, when baseball fans packed
the Yankee stadium to render a
farewell tribute to their idol
Giving Gary Cooper one of his
most brilliant opportunities to
portray an American hero, the
film casts Teresa Wright, the
harassed daughter of 'The Lit
tie Foxes" as Eleanor, and Wal
ter Brennan in the part of Sam
Blake, Gehrig's newspaperman
pal.
Babe Ruth in person heads the
group of Yankee stars and
friends of Gehrig's who appear in
the picture.
