Fl'GE TWO"'- INFIELDPLAYERS Seven Grounder Grabbers . Listed for Place On Man- ager Haight's Outfit Play Grants Pass Sunday Whatever may be tlie managerial worries of Hal Halght, boaa of the Medford Rogues this year, It Is a cinch they won't b Infield troubles. In fact, the big problem that Halght will have to decide is Just who Is better than who. With seven not bad grabbers al ready on the roster and another In the offing, Medford fans can be as sured of seeing one of the classiest Infields In a long time. The only position pretty well nslled down seems to be third base where the old standby, Tullv Williams, Is going like a million. And he, how ever, Is not a dead cinch. Three Shortstops. The ehortatop race is three-cornered, with Malcom Stlne, Billy Hulen, and Halght himself, all looking good, t.hough any of these three could be shifted to second or third or even first If necessary. Ed Jonas Is holding out at second so far while on first, Virgil Swanson and Billy Courtney, an S. O. N. a. boy. are tangling. Courtney Is a southpaw and Is also a pitcher. Luke Lalng will report for practice this week, bringing the list of Inflelders to eight. The Rogue outfield shapes up not far behind the Infield. Hoosier hoi fsrd will cavort In center, flanked on ills left by the hard-hitting Johnny Chrlstlanson and on his right by Johnny Smith. All are hard hitters and can go and get them. Ed Jonas and 8wanson are also fine outfield' era. Jov Good Backstopper. For a time this year It looked like Halght might be weak behind Wit plate but the practice game last Sunday wlith Jacksonville changed all that with a bang. Deam Joy, an other S. O. N. S. boy worked seven Innings back of the bat and his work left little to bo desired. He has a powerful arm and Is as smart as t,hey come. He Is a pro tege of Howard Maple and resembles him greatly in action and size, being short and stocky, and full of pepper. Cliff McLean looked In mid-season form against the Jacksonvlllers, al lowing no hits In five frames; He will get help from Don McFadden In hla pitching duties. Next Sunday, the Rogues will trav el to Grants Pass to Inaugurate 1034 baseball at the climatic city. A tough battle Is expected as Grants Pass Is always a powerful outfit. Southern Oregon league plans are progressing slowly but' surely. Grants Pass seems to be holding up the pa rade a little because rival factions can't come to an agreement. BATTLE GORY DRAW PORTLAND, March S8. m Johnny Hlggln of Salem and Young Harry Wills 'of Longview hit each other with everything but the corner posts as they battled to a six-round draw at the Labor Temple last night.

(AP) Will Rogers, who admits he doesn't know any more about "baseball than the umpires," broke bread with and talked "cold turkey" to players of three major league teams and several coast league clubs last night. The comedian posted several old time stars, who were present, on a pedestal for the present generation represented by the Citcago Cubs and White Box, the Pittsburgh Plratea and members of the Hollywood, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle clubs of the Pacific Coast league to look at. "Look at Hans Wagner," beamed Rogers. "Stand up, Sam Crawford I" he shouted. The old American league stars stood up. SEEN IMPORTANT 'NEWJEAL' PLAN Move Will Make Corporation Among Largest Business Institutions in Country All Corners Affected By Herbert Plummer WASHINGTON. (AP) -The propo sal to have the government guarantee both principal and interest on some two billions of dollars In federal home loan bank bonda promises to take Its place among the most Important phases of the "new deal." Those familiar with the situation prophesy that the move would make of the Home Owners' Loan corpora tion one of the largest business Insti tutions of the country. If not the largest. It is slmost Impossible to visualize the Influence thla corporation would have. Every city, town, almost every hj-.Uet In the country, would be touched. ' With the federal government guar anteeing the principal of these bonda (heretofore only the interest wss guaranteed) the last barrier to saving homes now threatened with foreclo sure would be removed. For, It is argued, holders of mortgages hereto fore have refused to accept the home loan bonds with only the Interest guaranteed. Liquidate More .Mortgages The bonds would be made ncgotl- I able at face value or thereabouts with ; the government atandlng back of ' them, thus making It possible to' liquidate more mortgages, Thla, in turn, It Is believed, would release funds which can be lent upon new home building and homo Im provement enterprises, The complaint has been made dur ing the past few years that moat of the regular ohanuels for financing this sort of thing have been closed because of the fact that they have been unable to collect on overdue mortgage!. Now It Is believed a prac ticable way of cashing that paper has been found. Thus, It Is argued, not only would relief be offered to thoso whose homes are Imperiled by delinquent . mort gages and Interest payments, but also, out of the funds to be msde available further assistance probably could be extended for the modernisation and repairing of homes. Country "House Poor" Sevoral studies, bearing on the houalng needs of the country, have been mad. It la agreed generally that, based on the averages of other years, tho country Is short many mil lions of houses. The cost of building up to whst Is described as a normal basis Is set by some experts around 830,000,000. senator Norrls of Nebraska visual ises the expenditure of "hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars" In the futuio In what he describee aa "the biggest business In the Unlteri States."

JIEDFOIiD 1IXLL "You kids, you were looking at baseball players there.' He spoke di rectly to the group of more than a hundred baseball players. "That was a generation of great baseball players. They were baseball players first of all, and If they had time off while playing baseball they were gentlemen, but they didn't let being gentlomen Interfere with their playing." Rogers admitted he wasn't much of a "sporting man." "Why, I don't know any more about baseball than Vie umpires. In fact, my only btd to sporting fame Is the fact that X had the first rubber tired buggy In Rogers county, Okla homa." Salmon Running Up Rogue River Cow gill Reports GRANTS PASS, March 28. JSpl.)

Phone Sun TRIBUNE, lEDFORD, Broadway, Star Shy This Season Brings Out Promising New Talent wereral young players, fwnerco unknown on Broadway, made their bids for future stage fame this sea son. Polly Walters (left) came out of the chorus to score a dramatic hit in "She Loves Me Not." Elizabeth Love (center) made an impression in "By your Leave" after an apprenticeship In stock. Tamara (right), a brunette arrival from Hussla, was refreshing In "Roberta" and Florence Brltton (below) displayed talent in "The Lake" and "The Shining Hour." By NOEL THORNTON. NEW YORK (AP) Broadway, loll ing In a surprising harvest of box office receipts this season did not produce a single new star. True, there was a galaxy of highly-lauded fresh talent, but the ascending curtains failed to reveal a new Katharine Cor nell. Jane Cowl or Lenore Ulrlc. Of potential stars there were per haps a dozen; that is, the unknowns who gave such well-rounded, impres sive performances in unimportant parts that critics singled them out as those who may, with hard work and striking roles, find their names in lights sometime tomorrow. A pair of blondes seemed to lead the field of these youngsters who will be remembered, at least until sum mer comes. One Is Elizabeth Love, who was cited highly for her appear ance as the refined lady of light loves In "By Your Leave." Saw America First. Miss Love never was seen on Broad way before; she has been seeing America first. A native of Lakeland, Fla she went to private school In tlclpat-s in the Olympic games in Ber lin in 1036. The invitation Is worded according to- the Olympic statutes, but wltrt this added paragraph: "The whole German nation hopes that the peo ples of the world will accept the In vitation and send strong teams." The Jewish question has made the participation of some countries un certain, despite official German as surances that Jewlh members of foreign teams will be welcomed, al though they are banned from the German team. In any case, with the approval of Adolf Hitler, extraordinary plans are being made to insure that the first Olympiad in Germany ahall be the most successful of all. By Hitler's ordor, 285 acres of laud In the Plohclsberg district are to be converted into a gigantic sports park. The land Is to the west of. Berlin in beautifully wooded country. A race course existing there is to be abolished and the present stadium Is to be enlarged to hold 100,000 people. The area outside the ntadlum will be equipped as a festival ground for 250,000 the whole to be encircled by a wall of stands. A swimming pool wit.', covered stands and a cy cling track with covered accommo dation for 15,000 are to be built. In a five-mile area near Bakers field. Cal., farmers who conducted a rabbit drive netted 2000 jack-rabbits.

The other blonde Is Gladys George, and she. too, had not been seen on Broadway before. She was the long suffering and wisely understanding sweetheart of Whitey In "Queer Peo ple," a short-lived play. But critics went out of their way to find out where she had been in hiding. . Nobody Saw Her. She had been on Broadway one before, but as one of the many brides maids in "The Betrothal" in 1918, and she wasn't seen. It seems the spotlights missed her by a full dozen feet; thus talent goes unheeded In the artificial twilight of backstage. Florence Brltton, California-born girl with a San Francisco up-bringing and a London accent, stood out twice this season, first with Katharine Hep burn' la "The Lake," and then with HERE TO STAY SAYS MILWAUKEE (UP) Slang Is in evitable and some of It will endure, according to Prof. James M. Purcell of the English department of Mar quette university. "A slang word, If It Is to last." said Prof. Purcell, "must contain an Idea not contained In the word for which it is substituted. For Instance, 'apple-sauce' will endure because we have no other word to express flat tery which Is uncomplimentary, while lettuce' and . 'spinach.' words used sometimes In place of 'money.' will not last because they do not add any thing to the meaning of 'money.'" The Marquette professor pointed out that the slang word "Jitney." used to denote a cheap car employed by an individual to transport people to and from work in post-war days when street car rates were raised, haa passed into oblivion because the "Jit neys" In most cases were legislated out of business. "Pussyfoot." the professor thinks, Gladys Cooper in '.'The Shining Hour." She was once leading woman for Ronald Colman in the cinema. Tamara, brunette Russian, was the principal contribution of foreign climes. Her essaying in "Roberta" made her a most refreshing addition to the ranks of musical comedy. Maybe Tomorrow's Stars. Other names added to the ranks of sometime -ln-the-future stars Include: Polly Walters, born In ZanesvIUe, O., and reared in Columbus, who came out of the chorus to score as a dramatic actress In "She Loves Me Not." Eddie Craven, alumnus of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and Audrey Christie, alumnus of the chorus, who furnish the chief interest In "Sailor Beware." Mildred Natwlck, product of Wash' Ington and Baltimore, who Is play ing a "veddy, veddy English" young woman In "The Wind and the Rain.' Carol Stone, youngest daughter of Fred Stone, who attracted many bou quets for her romancing In "Mackerel Skies." Is In the language to stay. It was originally a name for a noted dry worker, but now the term refers to anyone who goes about his business in a quiet and secret way. and usually denotes a little underhandedneas. Terms describing nationalities are likely to disappear because their in ference usually is uncomplimentary. "Boloney" and "chlseler" are a part of the language, according to Prof. Purcell, because they have been digni fied through use by noted men. Henry R. Rose, a farmer living near Porterville. Cal., delivers his garden truck In a home-made cart "powered" by a Holsteln milk cow. Georgia law provides that the gov ernor be solo dictator of the state's fiscal affairs and no expenditure is possible without his approval. Overnight to PORTLAND rv I AND .
