1 I "7' any perconal Interests the bank property since they were neither stockholders nor officers of the bank. Two of them, he found, had interests in the segregated trust fund but the trust fund had no interest in the building, he ruled, and was not enriched by its sale. "There Is no evidence of a' conspiracy among the defendants or others to do any unlawful act," the Judge said. "This subject has been a matter of great interest to all the people of the city and there has been much discussion but the action of the acting utility commission was not fraught with any evidence of fraudulent intent or purpose." Judge Cook further found against the contention of the plaintiff -that the fact that the city attorney was a stockholder of the bank at the time of the transaction brought it within the scope of the so-called fraud statutes of the state. "These sections apply only to transactions involving the city in its governmental capacity and do not apply to the city as a public utility," he said.

"If there is any objection to the action of the acting utility commission In the purchase of this building as an operating expense, the remedy would be before the public service commission before resort to the courts would be had for the reasons above stated." Judge Cook found finally that there is strong evidence that the Joe Louis, Detroit's Brown Bomber, retained his heavyweight boxing championship by knocking out Natie Mann, of New Haven, in the third round of their scheduled 15-round bout in Madison Square Garden, New York.

Warning that America must not turn to war as a substitute for "solving its problems at home," Governor Philip La Follette told a Manitowoc safety school audience last night that this country can best serve the world by "solving the problems of the machine and age and remaining true to liberty." Citing economics of scarcity as the basic cause for oppression and dictatorship, the governor said democracy in American can be preserved by bringing national consumption up to the level of the capacity of the producing system. "There is no better Index of how democracy is being won or lost than the rise or fall of the standard of Governor La Follette said. "When supplies run low there is danger of dictatorship. Danger of dictatorship we can avoid by straightening out our economic machine. The test of democracy is whether we are producing more real wealth at the end of each year than the year before.

Attending a meeting of the Manitowoc county La Follette club following the safety session last night. Governor La Follette was formally petitioned to seek re-election on the Progressive ticket next fall. In a resolution the club said La Follette." has fearlessly and understanding met the challenge of the serious social and economic problems confronting our people and our government."

Dizzy Dean looked over signed contract to pitch for' the St. Louis Cardinals today and made it known he was "happy about the whole thing." Not aa buoyant as he used to be when would wrangle a fat raise out of the club, the big right-hander nevertheless had the air of a man who is tackling a hard Job with a lot ok confidence, "I am mighty happy that this business is settled and that I will be able to start work when camp opens March 2," Dizzy said upon his return from Winter Haven, where met Branch Rickey, Card vice president, and agreed to terms reported to call for a $17,500 pay check. "I feel great.

My arm's okay. And with a full course of spring training I am confident I will be able to pitch in my old form." "How many games will 1 win?" he continued. "Well, say 15 or 20. but if everything goes right I'm liable to win even more." Dizzy had little to say about the talk he had with Manager Frankie Frisch in the outfield of the Winter Haven ball park yesterday after the signing was finished. "I listened and he talked," he commented.

"Frisch looked In good managerial form," Dean said. "Yep. in all ways It looks like we Cards are going to be right in the thick of that pennant fight." "That fellow means business, Rickey, commented after getting Dean's name on a contract.

He feels that other players have lost some of their respect for him and he la out to show them. "It may mean a lot to our bail club.

In a decision handed down Thursday Judge Dayton Cook dismissed the action of Mayor Charles Reetz of Bloomer, as taxpayer, against three members of the Bloomer city council and the city clerk over the purchase of the former People's State bank building and held that the city council in its capacity as de facto board of commissioners of the city utility there, acted within its authority in buying the building for utility office purposes. In his findings of fact, Judge Cook declared that the referendum of April, 1937, was of no effect in re gard to the purchase because the city council at Bloomer has a dual capacity, that of city government and that of commissioners for the city utility. He ruled that only the public service commission has im mediate jurisdiction over the actions of the council as a board of com mlssloners. The proposal to buy the building was rejected in the-referen dum in question. The judge found that although the city council never formally organ- ibed as a board of commissioners for operating the utility plant that they had in fact acted as such a board for 20 years and that the public ser vice commission of the state has recognized such fact.

The judge found that resolution No. 187 under which the purchase of the bank building was made was valid and that there under the "pub lie utility'' acquired title to the building In question and legally paid for it subject only to the approval or disapproval of the state public service commission. The Judge held that an office building was a need of a utility company and as such utility funds could be properly used for its purchase. The judge found further that there was no conspiracy on the part of any of the defendants in the purchase of the building and that the city clerk paid out the purchase price in good faith under orders of the council as utility commissioners. The signature of the mayor was not necessary in such transaction, he found, since the mayor is not a member of the ullity board.

Judge Cook ruled, however, that Bloomer City council resolution No. 188 in which the council attempted as a city council to buy the building from the utility company, in exchange for certain taxes owed the city by -the company was null and void because the signature of the mayor was necessary to such a transaction and the resolution was never submitted to the mayor for his approval: The title, he found, is still with the utility company. The judge found that the fact that the city clerk, F. C. Dutton, had not given bond in his capacity as cashier and bookkeeper for the utility, did not effect the validity of the transaction since no question of fraud was raised.

He also found that none of the defendants had Burwell Will Manage Crookston Ball Club MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 24 (AP) Bill Burwell, veteran pitcher who has served as coach for the Minneapolis club of the American Association for two years, will manage the Crookston, club of the Northern league the coming season, it was announced yesterday by M.

The cnampion. who hardly got up a good sweat in the brief workout, took his second successful defense of his heavyweight "title entirely in stride, He was so fresh he didn't lie down on returning to his dressing room. "He hit me some good punches In the first and second rounds, but they didn't hurt," he said.

"I don't think he hits as hard as some of the other fellows I've whipped." "Didn't that right in the second round hurt a reporter asked, "No, I felt it, but it didn't hurt none." "It annoj edjyou a little though, didn't it?" "Well, I reckon it did sort of wake me up. That's when I really started to work. Looks like I was a little slow warming up. don't it?" Louis, who feels he has struck his old-time stride again, wants to de fend his crown again in April if Mike Jacobs can dig up an opponent. Also, he is willing to go to' the port in May, before his June fight with Mas Schmellng.

Mann said he didn't remember thing after Louis caught him with a savage left late hi the second until he heard Referee Arthur Donovan call "ten" after the knockout punch. The entire third round was a blank to him, he said. "I didn't see the blow that knocked me out. I don't remember being knocked down in the second round That Louis sure can punch. It's been so long since I was on the floor I just forgot what to do.

"I was hi there gambling to win and put all I had into ltwhile It lasted. Louis hurt me plenty, but 111 bet some of those righi3 I shot into him In the first and second rounds hurt him, too.

Hockey Scores International-American Pittsburgh 1, Springfield a American Association Wichita 8, Paul 3 Says Railroad Yard Worker Is Owner of Detroit Tigers BY ROBERT LA BLONDE DETROIT, Feb. 24. (UP) Back in baseball's dim.

dark ages when Detroit was a bush league town and the boys had to play across the tracks to sidestep the Sunday blue laws an unknown youth frequently could be heard along the baselines, cheering his head off. Little did this blown-tn-thebottle fan dream then that some day he might be the owner of the Detroit Tigers. In fact, Walter Briggs then a railroad yard worker, had to scrape pennies together to buy his ticket to the ball game. Not a grand stand seat, mind you he was satisfied and proud to be included among the howling maniacs of the Wildcat bleacher section. When the 1907 world series between the Tigers and the Chicago Cubs rolled around, Briggs, besides being a dyed in the wool baseball fan, was beginning to go places in the infant automobile industry.

He was without tickets for the series games. A friend asked the late Prank J.

Navin answered with a question: "Who the hell Is Briggs?" Mr.

Navin was not long in finding out. Briggs surmounted all kinds of obstacles in rising from an assembly line job to the helm of the auto body factory he now heads. His fortune mounted into boxcar figures, and by 1920 Briggs and Navin were fast friends. Briggs bought a share of the Tigers that year, and after Navln's death in 1935, became owner of the club. The roar of the baseball crowd still is music to Briggs ears.

But the crescendo at world series time the thing that makes the blood run hot through the veins, of baseball magnates has been missing from Briggs' back yard for two years. He is determined to bring it back this season. This might appear easy for a man with a fortune, but Briggs doesn't believe you can buy a pennant winner. He says, "You've got to develop your players named Joe and Gus to stars like Gehrlngers, Greenbergs and Yorks." Briggs, in refusing to part with fantastic sums for established players, merely is perpetuating a system begun when he was half-owner of the club with Navin. The same farm system is In use, on a larger scale.

Scouting procedure is similar but more extensive. Detroit today claims the largest staff of ivory hunters in the major leagues. "Years 'ago Navin and decided to develop our own plavers," Briggs explains. "We were forced into this decision after being balked in attempts to buy several big name attractions. It has been a tough job and resulted in several disastrous seasons, but in the end it has Daid big dividends." Instead of using: his wealth toelve his roster a gilt edge Briggs has chosen to spend money along oiner lines.

He tapped the bankroll tor this winter to give Detroit the second largest baseball grandstand in the nation. Far too many fans were turned away in the 1934, "35. and '36 seasons, so Briggs added 20,000 scats. Briggs stadium, formerly known as Navin field, now seats nearly 60,000 spectators.
