THE DSILT NEWS-TELEGHSH
DOPING
IT OUT!
(By Joe Wooeley),
CONGRATS. Jeff Irvin and the
Dike Plowboys, mowing down all
opposition, deserve special mention
of their championship play. They
turned in bang-up good perform-
ances throughout the tourney, but
they proved their championship cal-
ibre in the final game, comjjpg from
behind in the ninth to win a torrid
battle that was as exciting as eve;*
unreeled at City Park. Although they
fell behind by two runs in the first
frame, after they had shoved one
tally home in the fourth the tense
spectators experienced a feeling
that Dike was determined to rally.
And the Plowboy outfielder who
drove in ^he winning run in the ninth
had gone hitless all day, typical of
his | tourney play as he had hit the
ball few times. Babe Roberts, the
SalfHla flashy and ex-Rambler, hurl-
ed a masterful game for the victori*
out Plowboys. He struck out at
least one man in eavh inning except
the eighth, while three were whiffed
in the third. Hats off to the champs!
HOME TOWN. Every member of
the Dike team lives jn Hopkins
County, although several aren’t ex-
actly in the Dike community. Charlie
Arthur, Jack Williams, Cotton Mc-
Afee and Babe Roberts—the big
four of the line-up—claim Saltillo
as their mail address. On the other
hand, Addran had Wade Bledsoe,
Mule Clark, Ernest Hardy and Gob-
ble Templeton, all from Cooper over
in Delta County. They are good
players as well as their home com-
munity stars, but they found Dike
too tough to handle.
PREMATURE. As the two teams
concluded the eighth canto Sunday,
Umpire Son Barker barked, “These
two teams will meet for the cham-
pionship here next Sunday after-
noon if Addran wins.” The Dike
players apparently didn’t like the
announcement—they did something
about it!
PICK-UPS: Mt. Pleasant’* Cub.,

Semi-Pro tourney, are off to anoth-
er good .tart, having dropped Enid,

Pleasant the past two seasons . . .
Elton Rasure, Dike’s litle second-
sacker, is the Hopkins County ten-
nis singles champion. He’ll be wear-
ing the colors of Sulphur Springs
High next year . . . “Why has Banks
Tire signed Big Noise Carter,” asks
Bill LeFan_ of Carnation, “if they
don’t think we’ll knock loud-mouth-
ed Red Clifton out of the box?” . . .

Dike’s hustling Plowboys became
champions of the Northeast Texas
Amateur Tournament in Sulphur
Springs Sunday afternoon by cli-
maxing a well-played battle in the
ninth to win, 3 to 2, over the favor-
ed Addran team.
Trailing 2 to 1 going into the first
half of the ninth, the Dike aggrega-
tion, protecting an undefeated slate
in tourney pluy, scoped two runs on
exciting plays, and then held Addran
at a standstill in their half.
In the ninth R. B. (Cotton) Mc-
Afee, lead-off man, drew a pa-s.
Roberts skied to left, and then Hoot
Gibson cracked out a hot binglc,
sending McAfee to. third. Mathis,
pinch-hiling for Linker, slapped an
infield ball over the pitcher’s head,
with Second Baseman Wade Bled-
soe shooting the ball to home, but
McAfee, on an excitingly close play,
was safe, tying the score. Mathis was
nipped off first before Wilder sin-
gled to drive in Gibson, and Rasure
grounded.
Addran, attempting to come back
failed desperately. Hardy, first up
gained life on Rasure’s boot at sec-
ond, but Bryan hit to third and Gib-
son shot the ball around the horn
for a double play. Parish struck out
to end the game.
Babe Roberts, Dike tosser, pitch
ed a beautiful game after the first
inning. In the first he walked two
men, but probably would not have
been in trouble if his centerfielder
hadn't misjudged a fly ball that
went for a double. Roberts whiffed
11 men, and gave up only six hits.

Dike thus finished its champion

in tournament play, and eliminating
Addran in two games by the same
score.
Jeff Irvin piloted the Plowboys to
the championship, while Ollie Tom-

Austin, Texas.—Professional poli-
ticians once more were the big tar-
get of Gov. W. Lee O'Daniel as he
put on another radio program Sun-
day without the aid of his string
hand.
The chief executive warned in his
weekly broadcast that a halt must be
called in lavish governmental spend-
ing so businesses, large and small
and the farmer might survive.
“The professional politicians
would like to have you believe,”
O’Daniel said, “that government is
so complicated the average man can-
not understand it and therefore he
should leave its operation wholly
and entirely to the professional pol-
iticians. But we have been doing
this in Texas for a long time and
what is the result?
“The professional politician would
have you believe that a bond is
something good to eat, a warrant is
a new kind of salad dressing and the
deficit is a chocolate-coated ice
cream cone—when as a matter of
fact all three are exactly the same
as the mortgage on your home or
business, and these bonds, warrants
and deficits of over $700,000,000 in
Texas are mortgages on your homes
and businesses which you did not
know you owed, but you taxpayers
will have to pay this $700,000,000
plus interest.
"Is it any wonder that the profes-
sional politicians and all their hire-
lings and cohorts are shooting at me
from every corner? They don’t like
to have a Governor who is telling
the great masses of'common Citizens
That’s
All.

The meeting of the Miller Grove

Mr*. Essie Bee Moseley gave an
interesting report on the picnic held
at Sulphur Springa Tuesday, of last
week. Several of the Miller Grove
club members attended the picnic.
Plans were made for a club pic-
nic for the club membera and their
families. Each member is to bring’ a
picnic supper. The picnic is to be
hald Tuesday night, Aug. 15.
A coriftnittee was appointed to
furnish entertainment for the pic-
nic. Those on the committee are Miss

Moseley and Mrs. Maty Bishop.

I Aug. 24.—Reporter.
“1 heard a loud-mouthed radio
commentator not long ago just giv-
ing me Hail Columbia on the radio.
I looked up his record and found he
had lost his job with the state. 1 read
a lambasting in a newspaper by a
columnist and looked up his record
and he had a relative who got shov-
ed away from the public feed trough.
So whenever you hear a howling, or
read a raving you may make up
your mind that somebody lost their
stick of candy or else they are still
crying because their candidate didn’t
get elected.
“I am trying to tell you what a
mess your governmnt is in. Let us
work together, the great masses of
common citizens and your Governor.
Let us apply the ordinary sound
business principles. Let us commit
ourselves to do our full duty to
bring back to this state recognition
which the forefathers had of the
importance of a belief in God and
a belief in man and a belief that
government must be built on these
solid foundations. Let each individu-
al choose his own religion but let us
realize that, after all, the broad
fundamental principles of religion
have been the mainsprings which
have kept alive the ideal, the hopes
and the aspirations of the people who
have been the leaders and who have
made this government possible.”
Urges Church Attendance.
The Governor closed' his address
by urging all listeners to go to
church later in the day.
O'Daniel said he had turned down
invitations' to the New York and
San Francisco fairs and four or five
invitation* a day to celebrations in
the Southwest “because 1 prefer to
stay at home and study our govern-
mental problems.” He again called
upon citizens generally to attend
their county budget hearings start-
ing Tuesday in an effort to hold
down local government spending.
“Many local and state spending
programs,” he said, “arc sweetened
up like a sugar-coated pill, -with ar-
gument that if the local or state gov^1
ernment will put up some money the
Federal Governmnt will contribute
part of the cost—but remember, the
Federal Governmnt can get its mon-
ey only from the taxpayers also.’’
Business Needs Protection.
Regarding taxes on business, Mr.
O’Daniel said: "If we would protect
the community in which we live, if
we would build great schools, col-
leges, hospital* and churches we
must protect equally the economic
life of the grat business institutions
which comprise that community.
They are able to pay only so much
in the form of taxes because taxes
must come from investment. If tax-
es arc taken out of the capital in-
vestment, the business is going broke
year by year. If taken out of prof-
its, then there is a margin line be-
yond which you cannot afford to go
because when a business becomes
profitless it soon dies.”
At another point he asserted: "I
do not join with those who seem to
think the big problem of society fnd
of governmnt is to lessen the hours
of labor to provide more leisure. I
believe the biggest problem which
society faces today is providing
more work for the youth of the land

HOPKINS NAMES
NEW AIDES
Washington. —Secretary Hopkins
has selected seven personal aides, all
experienced in some fields of econ-
omica, whose job it will be to help]
him rejuvenate the Commerce De-
partment and put it in a better posi-
tion to guide Administration econo-
mic policies.
Disclosing this today, a depart-
ment official indicated also that the
work of the new group would be ac-
companied by a shift of emphasis in
the department from foreign to do-
mestic business problems. In the
past, the dapartment has largely em-
phasized promotion of foreign com-
merce.
Heading the staff of new aides
will be Richard V. Gilbert, a publi'
finance expert of Harvard Univer-
sity. Others are V. L. Bassie, for-
mer Federal* Reserve Board em-
ploye; Rodney Riley, former Uni-
versity of Cincinnati economist;
Carroll Wilson, of the New; York In-
vestment council firm of Scudder,
Stevens and Clark; Robert L. David-
son of the Pierce Foundation; James
Hughes, former NRA construction
expert, and Paul Truitt, of the treas-
ury.
Hopkins was said to be consider-
ing several others for the staff, but

The work of the group, which is ■

is to be divided into two sections;!
guidance of administration policy
and research work on vital economic
problems.
While no formal program has yet
tpet drawn up, it was indicated that
the research would have to do with
problems related to "government j
spending and lending, investment,!
construction communications, public
works, industries where knotty prob-
lems exist and reasons why business
is lagging in some areas.
In addition, un official said, one
of the functions of the new staff
will be to keep in touch with the
letters of trude and industry, and
receive their views on government
recovery measures.
Final warning to gunmen who
