SHAMOKIN NEWS-DISPATCH, SHAMOKIN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 193S PAGE ELEVEN tossers Indian Trades Tent for Son No One Laughs By Clyde Ltwit HOLD EVERYTHING! EARLE GRANTED PILOT jJCENSE Governor Demonstrates His Ability at Controls During Test hours of flying to hi credit la thl type of fthlp. He had about as hour flying experience in the eowwottoriAi type plane. Although the Governor and Mrs. Earle use airplanes on numerous occasions in getting from plac place, it Is rare occasion when th state's "first couple" travel in th same plane. They have made a rule to travel in separate planee, a a precaution In behalf of their chil dren in ca.se of serious accident.

LOCAL GIRL BRIDE SINCE FEBRUARY 26 HARRISBURG, Aug. 12 (U.R) Governor George H. Earle, the commonwealth's first chief executive to pilot his own plane, wore hla pilot's wings today. The Bureau of Air Commerce granted the governor a certificate after Earle, long an aviation enthusiast, demonstrated his ability at the control with a federal inspector at his side. Major Paul Bur well, who examined the governor for his pilot's certificate, said Earle was "no better than average" among pilots.

The federal officer explained, however, that yesterday when the examination was made at the local airport, the high winds made flying a bit rocky. The passenger planes coming in and taking off also interfered several times as the governor sought to land. "It's great, isn't it!" Earle commented, a.i the air commerce representative affixed his signature to the certificate making toe governor a full-fledged pilot. The certificate gave Earle the right to fly any straight-winged plane, anywhere and at anytime until June 30, 1939. The governor previously held a pilot's license foi autogiros.

It was in the "flying windmill" type of plane that the chief executive received his early flying experience. He had more than 100 Soldat received In a trade for Smith, a passenger on a sub-Arctic Jimmy, proud foater-father, is background. Own Children Died, So Chief Jimmy Bargains' for Eskimo Infant ELDORADO, North West Territory. Old Jimmy Soldat thinks there is nothing cruel or funny about his trading a $40 tent for an Eskimo baby. The 54-year-old chief cof the wandering Hare Indiaas wanted a son of his cwn, because seven of his eight children are dead of tuberculosis and doctors say the eighth will not live.

So when a bunch of utarved Eskimos straggled into LaBine Point on Great Bear take, old Jimmy began negotiating for the slant-eyed baby. The penniless and sick mother was barely able to continue north herselfand the bargain was made. Now Jimmy turns up almost daily at the radium mine camp here to fell Arctic herring to the cook so that he can buy powdered milk and clothes for his new son. It makes no difference to Jimmy that the Hare Indians and the Eskimos are traditional enemies; he hopes that this sen who looks so different will live where the others have died. And no one here has told him Eskimos are even more susceptible to tuberculosis than are Indians.

BETHLEHEM LEGION NINE IS DEFEATED LEWISTOWN, Aug. 12 (U.R) Curtis ville, western Pennsylvania champion, was favored today to win the Pennsylvania American Legion baseball championship after nosing out Bethlehem, eastern titilist, 8-7, in the first of a three-game scries yesterday. Although outhit, Curtisville exhibited true championship form by taking advantage of Bethlehem miscues and bunching their hits ror two-run attacks in the third and seventh innings.

Bethlehem scored one run in the third, sixth and seventh innings. Leo Krupa was on the mound for Curtisville, while Carl Hilbert hurled for Bethlehem. He had eight strikeouts. Curtisville chalked up two runs in the third on successive hits by Se-lcpena and Tabacheck, coupled with an error by Schrader. They tacked on two more in the seventh when Hastie walked and Cnvcar, Hudak and Baxter singled.

Van Emburgh made three attempts to embark on a life cf banditry. The first one ended when an elevated, station cashier talked him out of a robbery attempt. V.n Emburgh then pointed his pistol at Joseph Williams, 29, whose automobile stopped at a red light. Tne light turned green and Williams left the would-be bandit standing in the street with his gun in his hand. The third attempt was Van Em-burgh's undoing.

He enlisted the aid of two chance acquaintances in an automobile theft and was pushing the car down the street when police arrived and questioned his right to the machine. Van Emburgh, a failure at robbery, tried to violate another statute but his gun failed to go off when he pointed it at Patrolman Frank Berry and pulled the trigger. He was charged with assault ard battery, attempted holdup, violation of the Witkins Firearm Act and larceny of an automobile. P. U.

C. ENTERS STRIKE PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12 (U.R)-The Public Utility Commission, taking strike-prevention action for the first time in its history, stepped into the Yellow Cab Company labor dispute today. The commission urged both the union and the concern to consider the public interest and form an agreement to avert a strike of 1,000 drivers, scheduled to stari Monday. The drivers voted to strike because their current contract, providing an $18 minimum guarantee, was not to be renewed.

C. Refuses to Make Further Reduction in Freight Rate HARRISBURG, Aug. 12 (U.R) The Public Utility Commission refused today to order further reductions in Intrastate Anthracite freight rates and dismissed the complaint ot the Pennsylvania Retail Coal Merchants' Association, Bethlehem, changing present rates are "unreasonable." The commission held that the complaint, filed April 22, "involves substantially the same problems" that were disposed of in a P. U. C.

order last February decreasing intrastate rates on hard coal. Following issuance of the rate reduction order, the commission held, the complainants did not "avail themselves of the right to ask for a rehearing within 15 days as required by the Public Utility law," The complaint further is based, the P. U. C. found, not on "any allegation of material change in conditions" but on toe contention "toe commission failed to give proper consideration to certain aspects of the situation." Subsequent to the P.

U. C. order reducing hard coal rates, the announcement pointed out, the Interstate Commerce Commission allowed a 10 per cent increase on all freight rates, including Anthracite. The P. U.

C. also authoried the increase on other rates but refused to permit the Anthracite Increase. Railroads petitioned the I. C. C.

to require toe P. U. C. to approve toe Anthracite increase and hearings were held last month on the controversy. To describe an object as "mouse color" is being very vague, for with the modem trend in mouse breeding, fanciers now produce the.se animals in colors ranging from the or iginal browns and blacks, to whites, blues, creams, lilacs, plums, silvers, variegated etc.

Rosenbloom fought his manager, Frank Bachman, between rounds as hard as he ever waged war against an opponent. He believed in keeping ahead of his pilot financially. They spent rest periods arguing about the amount Smaxie Maxie would get that particular night.

Rosenbloom did the bulk of his training in night clubs. He walked a fair damsel off the floor of the old Rendezvous Club on Broadway one night, explaining: "Listen, honey, I've got to run over and fight a guy." He slapped Leo Lomskl around at Madison Square Garden, returned to the club without as much as taking a shower, and picked up where he left off. i He did his road work behind milk wagons In the wee hours.

WILLIAMSPORT IN WIN OVER ELMIRA The Williamsport Grays scored a 6-4 victory over the fourth place Elimira Pioneers last night their drive to reach the first division. Two other night games 5w place Wilkes-Barre stage an uprising that defeated second place Hazle-ton, 2-1, as Binghamton came through with a 2-1 triumph over the Albany Senators. The "Trenton-Hartford tilt was postponed because of wet grounds, Binghamton's victory and Hazle-ton 's loss boosted the Triplets' league lead to six and a half games. The Williamsport win allowed the Grays to come within two and a half games of Elmira and within a half game of fifth place Trenton.

Binghamton now leads the circuit with 70 victories and 32 defeats. Hazleton. in second place, has won 65 and dropped 40.

JOCKEY LEE HARDY IS DISQUALIFIED SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Aug. 12 (U.R) Racing today considered a penalty for Jockey Lee Hardy who was disqualified after a winning ride yesterday in the Sanford Stakes the "jinx" race that cost the life of Thingumabob, leading two-year-old. Thingumabob, ridden by Eddie Aracaro, winning Jockey in the 1938 Kentucky Derby, was crowded to the rail at the first turn of the six-furlong.

$5,500 feature, and broke his right foreleg just above the fetlock. The track veterinarian mercifully destroyed him. Hardy was aboard Hugh W. Jackson's Ariel Toy, the horse that Thingumabob was trying to pass on the inside. While it looked like Thingumabob was bumped Into the rail, Arcaro absolved Hardv of Announcing wav, pal but the other guy truck!" three-year-old from Wheatley stables In 1936, already has won $290,350 and stands seventh in the line of champion money winners.

Most of this was earned in 1937 when the little bay son of Hardtack won the handicap championship. If Georgie Woolf can bat him home today ahead of Lipioti, a trim, black speedster from the Pampas of South America, that total will swell to $315,350, and Scabiscuit will jump past Isinglass, Mate and Zev in the purse championship. Sun Beau, won Equipoise, Gallant Fox, $328,165 and Phar Lap $322,250. LOUIS WILL NOT FIGHT THIS FALL NEW YORK, Aug. 12 CU.R) The men who control the heavyweight boxing championship decided today that "Mister Whiskers" was the best man in the division and announced that Joe Louis would not defend his title again this year.

It was a matter of income tax with Louis, his managers and Promoter Mike Jacobs. More money in the Louis till, they said, would place him in a higher income tax bracket and therefore remove any chance of another profitable fight in 1938. After a conference in Jacob's office, however, a 1939 program for the champion was made public- one which will place the title on the line four times between next January 1 and September 30 "if he can find anybody to fight."
