We. expected a comeback from
our latest Ideas on radio football

Dear Curt Comments: In your
Tenement tirade against sponsors
of football programs you obvious
ly forgot .the one argument left In
his tvor. While not; wishing to
enter into any prolonged contro
versy, It seems to me your argu
ment takes In a large territory
when it Implies the -possibility of
a real football fan staying away
from a game. If the fan hasn't the
necessary cash to witness a game
a suitable alternative would be to
hear the broadcast. Consequently
no harm is lost, and the football
authorities, who are after all ama
teurs, are nothing out Thousands
like myself, are of the opinion
handed down .by the Pacific Coast
Conference, and they had no ob
jection to radio broadcasts.

what's going oa In Salem aad

And that explains our attitude

have beea convenient stepping
stone for the ether dub ia the
National Leagtie. They might have
beea (aad ia fact were) likened to
doormats, a they were always be
ing stepped ea; aad it ased to be a
pretty eertaia bet that no matter
how the ether teams finished in the
pennant race, the Pitiful Phillies
would wind up ia the old cellar posi
tion. But all that is past now. THOSE
days are ever. Of course, in this
crazy National League scramble
there's ao telling where the Phillies
will finish they miaht finish any
where from first to last hut the
fact remains that the Pan will no
lonrer play carpeU. for anyone,
Nowadays, if you want t tram
ple oa the Phillies, yovVe got to
kaock 'em dewa; and throughout
most of the present season that has
been a pretty tough task for the
ether clubs.
Tasair. the Phillies hare re
formed, and there are a number ef
reasons for taia.
First, there i Manager Bart
Shottea. a cuiet. tireless works r
aad a smart baseball man. wae has
done a great Job ef building a team
ia Philadelphia witaout a wt i
what H take t build a winning
team.
Then, there is the batons; power
shown by the two big guns of the
Phillies' attack Hurst and Klein.
These two are featuring a two-man
attack as deadly as any in the game,
tanac rank with such historic slug'
ginr duos as Jackaoa aad Felsch
of the old White Sex. Crawford and
Cobb ef the Tigers, and the most
famous of modern pairs. Ruth and
Gehrig of the Yankees' Murderer's
Row.
Hurst and Klein are a regular
two-ringed battina circus, a couple
ef fence-busting wiBow wielders
who cause every enemy moaadsman
to quake with apprehension. Both
are up among the leaders ia home
ma hitting, ia runs scored, la ran
m. ia the number ef kits
and ia the batting race.
Jinxst. the Phils first baseman.
i having the greatest year ef his
career, ever since Manager Shot
ton brought him to Baker Bowl
from Syracuse, Don has batted well
ever the -3o mark, hut tai season
he has beea hitting mach better
than ever before. : - :-! -
Harst beaaa his career' in the
minors as a pitcher, but because of
ala natural batting skill he soon de
voted his time to the outfield, where
he attracted so much notice that he
was given a trial with the Cardinals.
This waa back ia 19Z5, aad the
Cards then sent him to Fort Smith.
Ia 1926 he was shifted to Syracuse,
where Shottoa converted him into
a'ftrst baseman. Joining the Phil
hs ia 1928, Hurst started off with
a hang by knocking out a home ran
with the bases filled is the first
game ef the . season. New, four
years later, he stands out as oae ef
the most formidable batsmea in
either league.

by while a considerable deficit
exists because of other funds It
holds and uses temporarily. How
ever, when the state deficit climbs
about $2,000,000 the treasury till
runs dry. .
The core of the matter is that
unless the voters of Oregon pass
the higher income tax law in No
vember, the starts must revert to
a general tax ea property or pass
some special tax to take its place
or continue to over-estimate in
come and thus to add to a deficit
already burdensome.

number of counties ar loaded

count. If the state resume di
rect taxes and requires, as it al
ways has, that state taxes must
be paid in cash on the due date,
the friends of many counties will
be almost entirely depleted of
cash. The tax-finance problem is
one sure to arise in the n art few
