SPORTS e
Dick Busby To
Manage This Years
Farmers Union Team

Richard Busby, proprietor of tho
New Method shoe shop, has ac-
cepted the position of manager OF
this years Farmers Union baseball.
team. Jack Parker and Chuck Bel
inak, who were named robustness
managers at a meeting of the play
ers last week, made the announce
ment over the week end.
With the starting lineup from last
seasons Midland Empire champion
ship team almost intact except for
the third base spot, vacated when
Mileski signed up with the Bill
lings Mustangs, the prospects TO,
another successful season is bright.
Practice sessions have been confined
this week to the gym with the boys
moving outside at the first of the
week. The league schedule has moi
been released to date, but with the
opening date set for about June l,
the local team intends to be ready
to get off to a fast start. AL
though pleased with having last
years squad almost intact, Busby
announced that any one interested
will be welcome to practice and
that all positions are open to the
men who can best hold down the
spot.
Busby is we'll qualified to lead the
local baseball team, having had al
most Is years experience in the
semi-pro leagues of Montana. He
started his career with Wolf Point
in 1922 as a catcher, the key posi-
ton with any successful team. From
there he went to Livingston where
he caught for the Railroad club
until 1927, and then moved to Bill
lings where he played until he ter
minated his playing days in 1885.
Two games stand out in his mem
DRY and may even be recalled by
some of the older fans of Laurel.
The most satisfying game he re-
calls was catching Terry Mitchell,
who went all the way to defeat the
Kansas City Monarchs 81 in a
16-inning game. His biggest thrill,
however, came against an arch rival
in the old Billings city league, Jiggs
Pokarney was on the mound for the
opponents in an important game.
Busby and his team mates had been
slowly but surely getting his goat,
but when Dick stepped to the
plate and lost the ball over the
left field fence Pokarney had had
enough, and throwing his glove dis
gustedly to the ground stomped to
the showers.

to the state tournament to be held
in Great Falls May 81 and %.
The big problem for the Locomo-
tives will be pitching. Harry Ruff,
who hurled for the Legion team
last year will likely get the nod
for No. 1, but from there on it's
wide open. George Wagner has
developed a nice r ball and
if he can gather enough control
to keep it cutting the n of
the plate, he may give the team
enough punch to go to Great Falls.
Jim Phillips and Bob Sorg have
been coming along nicely and could
be ready to take over, but in any
event will likely get the call later
in the season to hurl for the Laurel
Legion nine. The infield should
match any around, with the outfield
chores going to the most likely slug
gers. Catching duties should be
fairly we'll taken care Of.
Some of the best looking pros
poets for these positions center
around the seniors, but a few Of
the un~derclassmen may give them
a run for their money.
Bill Sorg seems certain to hold
down a starting spot and may even
get a call on the mound. Although
many candidates will see action in
the early games, some of the better
looking players include Harold Graf
wohl, Mike Zahn, Paul Void, Gene
Bice, Jim Graft, Leo Yeager, Jim
Wilson, Bob Dantic, Wayne Willis.

ner, Wayne Hageman and Jim Nor

Navy Rocket lips 70 Miles in
Sky at Speed of 5000 M.PH

WASHINGTON, D. C. A new
navy rocket has spurted Is miles
into the sky and hit a speed of 5000
miles an hour, the army and navy
revealed.
1t is the highest and fastest an
American missile is disclosed to
have gone. The wartime German
w reached ia miles and about
$500 miles an hour in tests at the
White Sands, N. NJ, proving
grounds.
The navy rocket, called the Aero
bee, was tested there, the Joint an
nouncement said.
The performance of the LIQUID
fueled Aerobee greatly exceeds the
"a mile altitude, 2,100 mile speed of
the only other American rocket so
far announced. This was the army
ordnance WAC Corporal"
Details of design of the new
rocket and the fuel are secret.
However, photographs of it in
flight indicate a pencil thin design
like the WAC Corporal" con-
trasted with the bulkier girth of
the W..
The Aerobee carried $50 pounds
of instruments for recording cos
mic ray activity.
There was nothing in the an
nouncement to indicate any attempt
to guide the navy rocket in it's
flight.

Pilot With Broken Neck
Flew FIGHTER DUrinq War

WASHINGTON.-A former army
bomber pilot testified that he was
required to fly Is combat missions
with a broken neck before medical
officers would ground him.
He flew the missions strapped to
his seat and with a board strapped
to his back, he told a house armed
services subcommittee. His neck
had been broken, he said, when his
plane crashed in flames in the China
sea. The testimony was given by
1t. Thomas L. Frazer, Adrian, Ga.
He was n of four crippled officers
who told congressman that they
have been unable to get disability
retirements despite severe wounds.
The other three were ground Off
GERS, and all had started their army
careers as enlisted men. They are
Capt. Charles Ogden, San Jose,
Calf, Congressional Medal of Hon.
or winner; Capt. Frederick j.
Bready, North Wilbraham, Mass,
and Capt. Thaddeus S. Moore, High
land Park, Mich.
Frazer, who wore a high neck
brace as he testified, said his injury
was first diagnosed as a muscle
strain. He flew until one arm be-
came paralyzed, then hospital ex-
aminations showed that his neck had
been fractured.
He has been a patient at Walter
Reed hospital here since last Octo-
Der. He said he was wearing the
brace when the army discharged
him.
The committee called Frazer and
the others as witnesses in its ~investi-
cation of the army and navy retire
ment systems.

Italian Genius, 8,
Directs Orchestra
In Carnegie Hall
Appreciafive Audience AppIuuds
Before Selections Are Ended

NEW YORK.-Ferruccio Burco
8-year-old conductor who began his
rise to fame in Rome, made hi.
American debut in short, "stove.
pipe" pants before a packed Car
negie hall audience, which ap'
plauded enthusiastically.
The applause broke out before the
overture ended, as it did with every
subsequent selection. In the evil
liam Tell" overture the applause
that broke in was so deafening that
the 80-piece orchestra, kettle
drums, full brasses and all, was
drowned in the larger sound.
One thing definite that a be
said about Burco - he likes to play
loud. 1t can also be said that he
knows how to keep music lively,
vigorous, melodious and firm in its
rhythms. In the case of the Italian
operate selections, too, he knew
what he wanted.
But just how much talent he has
and how much he really knows is,
perhaps, open to question. Benja-
iIldIl DOlllIO, LlG lllPl SSdliO VI LllC
New Jersey Grand Opera, who pre-
scented him, made sure he had a
good orchestra, engaging almost the
entire New York Philharmonic
Symphony for the occasion.
The men, undoubtedly, could play
the familiar classics for almost any,
one who could beat time. Then, too,
the program was almost identical
with the n the youngster gave in
Rome. So there is no telling how
many works the boy knows, though
he conducted all the selections from
memory except the Prelude to LA
Fora del Destino," which closed
the program. He brought in the
score for this, but hardly seemed
to consult it.
Each selection evoked an ova-
ton, and flowers were bestowed on
him after two of the numbers. At
the end. of the Wagner prelude, a
woman in the front row was so
moved that she got up and made a
speech. She insisted, too, on kissing
the boys hand. She was Maria
DELI Orefice of the Hotel Belle
claire. So happy at expressing her
feeling, she did not resent being

Policeman Fatally Wound,
Man on Drugstore Roof

A man was shot and killed last
night after police discovered him on
the roof of a drugstore at 1444 B
street Sc. and he ignored a COM
mand to give up"
Pvt. Francis x. Moran. of the 5th
precinct, said he fired three shots,
one of which struck the man in the
head.
The dead man was identified as
Joseph Barnes, about %. colored
of the 100 block of Rhode Island
avenue NV. He was wounded
about 1920 pm. and died at Cas-
ualty Hospital an hour later.
Pvt. Morgan and his scout car
partner, Pvt. Joseph Thornton, went
to the drugstore in response to a
call from some one in the neigh
borhood that burglars were break
ing into the drugstore. Pvt. Moran
entered the house next door and
from second-floor window looked
out on the roof of the one-story
drugstore.
Pvt. Moran said he saw the man
lying on the roof near a skylight
which had been smashed. He said
he shouted for the man to give up
and, when the man started to run
across the roof, fired three times.
