Husband and Wife
Compete for
n. N. Governorship

SANTA FEE, N. NJ, May 9. CUP)
Robert Peterson, who says he
would like nothing better than to
run against his wife for governor
of New Mexico, received setback
when he attempted to file his can
didacy for the Republican nomina-
ton.
Secretary of State Cecilia Cleve-
land refused to accept his filing
papers on the ground he changed
registration from a Democrat to
a Republican less than a year ago.
His wife already has filed as a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor.
A suit is now before the state
supreme court testing the regula-
ton which requires that a change
of party must be made at least a
year before the primary proclama-
ton before a candidate is eligible
to file. Peterson said he would
await the decision in the case.
There is nothing I would like
better than to run against my wife
for governor and debate our con-
flicting beliefs" he said. I'VE have
been very happy and contented as
man and wife, but as for politics.
well, it hasn't all been so peaceful
on that score"

Promises U pswinS
Of Angels Play

away seven of the games we lost,
Sweeney ventured. Our pitching
was as good as it was before we
went on the road, but error after
error was simply too much for the
hurlers to overcome
To make matters worse, veteran
pitcher Jodie Phipps came up with
a sore arm on the northern junket
and won't be available for several
weeks. Then another mainstay of
the Angel pitching corps, Don OS-
born, spent two weeks in bed
with a stomach ailment.
PSYCHOLOGICAL UPLIFT
But Sweeney thinks the stellar
no-hit pitching performance which
Cuban George ComellaS registered
at San Francisco's expense in Sum-
days nightcap gave the Angels a
tremendous psychological uplift.
The boys feel they have the start
ing point Of a spirited comeback.
Sweeney beamed, land they're
plenty anxious to prove it against
San Diego this week.
The change of mind of English,
who has been the on-again, off
again Finnegan of the season since
leaving the squad last month to
take job with Western Pipe &
Steel, will go a long way toward
steadying the butter-fingered,
juvenile Angel infield.
Our infielder5 just havn't had
the experience and naturally have
failed to perform like veterans in
their first year in bigtime baseball y
Sweeney contended. But the return
CT English and the addition OF
Heffner should make a whale of a
difference in our defensive play.
And Norbert, heavy clubber,
should give us some greatly needed
punch at the plate"

NEW YORK, May g. CUP)-The
first page of a fabulous new chap

with robust restraint Monday at the

Spacious Belmont - which has
been called the American Ascot"

25,418 believers in the betterment
of the breed of hayburners. And
they wagered only s2,060,04. This

But such restraint was only the
calm before the Belmont storm that
is certain TO shatter all-time world

Although the 25,419 crowd was

NEW YORK. May 9. CUP)-The
first intersectional swing of the 1914
baseball season was underway
Tuesday with the eastern clubs of
the National league scheduled to
arrive at western points and the
western clubs of the American
league invading the east.
Despite the fact that the season
is young. the trip promises to be
particularly crucial for the travellers,
National league strength supposed
" lying in the western half of the
circuit with the eastern clubs of
the American league considered the
toughest.
Regional play in the opening
three weeks of the campaign has
produced many surprises-the most
notable of which was the get away
squirt of the ST. Louis Browns who
broke all American league records
by winning nine consecutive games
at the start of the season.
The Browns never have been out
of first place and with the Card
inals in the same spot in the Ma
tional league, st. Louis has topped
both leagues at once for the first
season since 1922-the only other
year it ever happened.
The Philadelphia Phillies, almost
always a sure bet to finish last, have
provided the east with it's biggest
surprise. In second place, the PhilS
have taken nine of their IA games
and are only a game and half
behind the Cardinals, a half a
game ahead of the strong Cincinnati
Reds and a game and a half ahead
of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Tokyo Announces
Mercy Ship Okeh

WASHINGTON, May 8. CUP)-
The families of thousands of Amer
leans who are prisoners OF the
Japanese hoped Tuesday-for the
first time since Pearl Harbor-that
the Tokyo radio is correct on one
news item.
A Tokyo broadcast said that the
Japanese government has sent a
note to the United States, through
the Swiss government, asserting
willingness to send a Japanese YES
sci to Vladivostok to transport re-
lief supplies and mail for American
war prisoners and civilian internees
under Japanese control. The Amer
lean Red Cross has 1900 tons of
relief supplies in Vladivostok ware
houses.
The state department said it had
not received the note, but added
that such communications required
considerable time in transit, some
times several weeks. Tokyo radio
said it was delivered to the Swiss
minister in Tokyo on May 3. 1t
would have to be transmitted to
Berne, Switzerland, and then given
to the American minister there for
transmission ito Washington.
Both state department and Red
Cross officials, who have been try
ing since early 1912 to establish
regular shipments of supplies to
prisoners held by the Japanese,
were hopeful that the Japanese
broadcast was true. Heretofore, the
japanese have been adamantly op-
posed to all proposals because of
strategic reasons"

The
What Not Shelf
By Louise Hoffecker Burslem

This is the story of three would
be cooks and a lucky dog. Edward
Hyatt, Stanley Francis and Barry
DeFord trekked out to Huckleberry
Point on Sunday, armed to the
teeth with provisions for cooking
their own supper over a campfire.
Included in the menu were baked
beans, lunch meat, bread, cokes,
cookies and one orange-and in the
latter lies a tale of bitterness
but first the story.
The kids set up campaigning
and doled out the jobs-building
the fire, opening the beans, frying
the meat. First off, the pan of
beans slipped and got SO contain
mated with wood ashes and other
rustic debris that Barry's dog, Pal,
got that part of the supper. Next,
Eddie and Barrie fought over the
one orange and in the fray, drop
ped it, and before it could be re-
trieved, Pal had gulped it down.
During the fight, the onlooker,
Stanley (called for some reason or
other "Pipe") was so absorbed that
he let the lunch meat burn to a
crisp, so Pal got that, too.
P. S.-Oh, well. Pal had a good
time!
