PLAYING DIRTY POOL l 'l Association 1 One of the dirtiest deals in the history of state political affairs is the'attempt Of a disgruntled group to defeat the choice of the voters in the election ofE Langley over Dill for governor, which has even been carried to the legislature where the majority is largely democratic; and should the effort prevail, dishonest. To discredit the ballot system which in the past has elected two democratic governors, twice each, Lister and Martin, and Dill himself twice as sena— tor, is puerile; while the claim of crooked electionl boards in view of the fact that the majority of every! board in the state was democratic is equally dishon- est. The truth is that a venal crowd had put up large I sums of money in the hope of controlling the state} opening it wide-Open, and getting their hands on! state funds and building up a powerful state ma- chine for years of control, and they still hate to give up in spite of the popular vote for a clean an I C honest state administration such as assured undel’i Langley as governor; a clean-up such as Langley made in Seattle. The legislature has more serious problems than ever before and it needs the unity and support of the republican minority, with no time to fritter away in useless fighting; the democratic majority must prove its honesty in desiring this unity by dropping politics and cooperating in the solution of all its problems for the best interests of the state and all its people. Robbing the people of their free choice for governor is proof of dishonesty. ’Frisco just reports having had eighteen days of rain out Of 23; taking the wet record from Puget Sound. REACTIONS TO PARKIN—d ORDER The city council as its last action Of the year] passed an ordinance limiting parking on the streets between First and Fifth through the business dis- trict to one hour, and while it is too soon to learn the public reaction it would appear that the neWI order takes in more territory than is necessary for: public convenience. If the rule is to be enforced[ some of the streets outside the business center should be open to at least more than a single hour of parking, and some of the adjoining streets improved for time parking; but so far as the ordinance may restrict all day or even half day on the main streets it is worth while in keeping some open spaces for transient visitors to do their trading. taxes, more money for living.” How come. THE COMING OF PEACE Seventeen billion for defense! A tremendous! figure. Yet that is what the president is asking the‘ congress to appropriate. Ten billion dollars shouldl Nebraska is making a strong play for new cap- ital and industries, with the inducement of “NO sales tax, no income tax, no bonded debt, no other extra build quite a navy; equip and train quite an army;l get together a lot of airplanes, soon to be outmoded. In the meantime Hitler is weakening. The blitz- krieg has failed. Social revolution looms in Ger-l many. One has but to read Hitler’s latest speeches] to find that this is so. But despite the looming end! of the war, the United States has made itself over, is making itself over. Factories are engaging in man- ufacture of war material. Business is humming. Hundreds of thousands of young men are training. Suppose peace suddenly comes. Will it not be like putting On the brakes when going 90 miles anl, hour? Look out for a terrible crash in the event of sudden peace. All hope for the end. of the war, butl America isn’t being prepared for the end of the war” Its entire preparations are based on the continuancel of war. Peace will throw back into civilian life hun- dreds of thousands of young men now in training. Factories will suddenly stop. Workers out of jobs; will come pouring out into the land. America, then; may be faced with a problem exceedingly difficult to handle. Revolutions are based on just such things: Sudden termination of jobs will create an explosive force which can be dangerous. It would seem the statesmanlike thing for plan— ; Lambert ....

Both these clever pci'fm‘mcrsl were placed on the all—world tcnmi after the Globetrotters had won the world‘s championship tourna-.

Slate scoring record of 48 points in one game set :1 Toledo. 0., prep, made the all- world team in his first year in major competition. Prom- Icy has been with the Trotters several years. In one game at Tacoma last season, “Sonny” sank eighteen baskets. Against the famous Cel- tics, he dropped in nine during one game. He led the Trotters inl scoring last season and this year‘ has picked up where he left off. Pressley, a sensation through- out the world's tournament. cap- ped his performance by holding the high—scoring “W'ibs” Kautz, of the Chicago Bruins, scoreless for 3952 minutes of play. In the game between the Trotters and College All-Stars before 22,— l 000 fans at the Chicago Stad- ium this season, he also demon— 1 strut-ed his scoring ability by plunking in six baskets. But if these men are watched: too closely, the opposition runsl Bernie Price, Ted strong and Hil—v lary Brown run wild, as they havel time and time again. In fact,[ there are many who say Price is. the best all-around performer in: the game today; others give that] honor to Strong. And, as for! Brown, despite this being his first! full season on the team, Manager. A. M. Saperstein has entrusted him with the captaincy, so high~’ ly does he regard the brilliant) young Chicagoan who was ratedl as the greatest Negro amatqu player in the world before joining the Trotters. 1 Maybe there ulre others who can claim equal records but they’d have had to see every city league and every town team game played in Lincoln gym this season to tie Adrian Fran— cken’s record for witnessing basketball games this year. Add to that the three prep contests the Highelimbers have played so far and you have ad- ditional games to his total. Us- ually Francken takes an active part in the conduct of the games he sees, either through keeping score or keeping time. PROUD OF THREE! SHELTON—MASON COUNTY JOURNAII Rants th By BILL DICKIE eline --oooooooo The example furnished by the Casey Hardware team of Aberdeen. During. the half time rest period th rooms to smoke and engage talk which would hardly pass in respectable circles. That’s something this scribe has yet to witness among the Shelton players. They may smoke before and after the games, although most of them don’t, but they refrain entirely uhilc they are in the gym. And the calibre of the language heard among the Shelton play- ers; would pass in any respect- able home. Such things tell in the physical condition of the teams, easily noticeable in Sunday‘s game. The Pirates are in as fine physical condition as you’ll find any in- dependent team, better than most. They may lack the ability of some teams but they won’t lack the condition Incidentally, this.. might be as good a place and time as any to 1note that the same general claim can be truthfully made by play- ers perforn'iing in the city basket- iall circuit. There may have been a day in the past when independent basketball was a gathering grounds for dissipated athletes, but no more, neighbors, no more. You’ll find very few of the boys who play on city league teams doing much carousing 0r abus- ing themselves physically. Those who do don’t last long. It has been a sourco of no lit- astonis-hment to fans paying their first visit to city league games to note the swift pace of the play. And the regular fans have noted a steady improvement in the calibre of ball turned out by the circuit. To a large extent that fact can be traced to the finer condition the players are in now, as well as! HUSky play are sophomores. thC‘ the greater finesse which marks *hc present day city league play.
