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.

ROGERS LIKE UMPIRES
IN BASEBALL IGNORANCE
LOS ANOELES, March 28. (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.

'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.

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.

"A slang word, If It Is to last." said
Prof. Purcell, "must contain an Idea

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
