IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER BIG YEAR FOR THE YANKEES IF BABE AND LOU HIT

*round for a prediction on the
pennant chase, it seems
:bc Yankees are the team to beat
out again this summer. And es-
pecially so if Babe Ruth and Lou
Gehrig resume their terrific hit-
ting.
The seven managers In the cir-
cuit who sit and moan every time
the twin slammers approach the
plate for a turn at bat express ;
their chances for the flag in
much the same fashion. The?
each say their club has a chanct
to win if the Babe and his play-
mate, Lou, don’t hit too much.
And the Huggins fellow, who
bosses Babe and Lou. deliver
himself of the same prediction
whenever asked. He does it in
reverse fashion, to be true, but he
means the same thing.
And there you are.
TT IS no difficult job to get tes-
* timonials from rival clubs as
to the value of Babe and Lou to
the Yankees. And it wouldn't be
a difficult task to get them from
some of the National League play-
ers? And Bill McKechnie, the ex-
boss of the Cards.
The question then—hov are
the Babe and Lou this year?
Miller Huggins says "there is
nothing wrong with the Babe and
Lou.- They look swell. And
they’re hitting. And I don’t know
any young pitcher, or old oue
either, who is going to keep them
from hitting.’’
"And how about those sore
arms some of the fellows have?”
he is often asked.
"I don’t know. They say they
are all right,” he answers. “But
there’s nothing wrong with Babe
and Lou. Those fellows are hit-
ting.*
Will these confident smiles fade
from the faces of baseball’s great-
est hitting twins, Babe Ruth and
Lou Gehrig? Not this year, Man-
ager Huggins says.
And that should answer that
question.

President Hoover’s special session of
congress can be conveyed direct to the
national capital.
Following are the dates and places
of the meetings:
Tulsa, region conference for the di-
versified farm belt of eastern and
east-central Oklahoma, Monday,
April 1.
Enid, regional conference for the
wheat belt of northwestern Okla-
homa, Tuesday, April 2.
Lawton, regional conference for the
cotton belt of southern Oklahoma,
Wednesday, April 3.
Oklahoma City, statewide confe>-
ence to reconcile and consolidate poli-
cies developed at the regional meet-
ings, Thursday, April 4.
The plan contemplates the opening
of each conference at 10 o’clock in the
morning. Except in case of unfavora-
ble weather, it will be possible for
delegates and individuals to reach the
conference point in each district with
the loss of only one day from busi-
ness, and at slight expense. Senator
Thomas and members of the state
chamber agricultural committee will
probably make use of motor cars in
swinging around the circuit covering
conference •'••inis.
According to agricultural advisors
of the state chamber, the series ol
meetings to determine Oklahoma’s at

farm relief and tariff sets a prece-
dent in the economic history of a
s< uthern state. The south has bem
tnditionally “low-tariff” in its views
ever since the founding of the renub-
lic. Now that farming is recognized
as an industry rather than a profes-1
sion or vocation, it is probable that i
Oklahoma will set a precedent for the ■
entire country in establishing the af- j
finity between agriculture and the1
rrotectiev tariff.
All co-operative marketing organi-
zations in Oklahoma, the Oklahoma
Farmers’ union, chambers of com-
merce engaged in agricultural pro-
grams. and many other organizations
have pledged participation in the
meeting-, according to Mr. Jessee.
Representatives of these organiza-
tions were consulted in the selection I
of meeting places, and will assist in
informing their members of the pur-
poses of the conferences and in or-
ganizing delegations.
Many state farm leaders have ad-
vised the state chamber that Okla-
homa’s farmers already are alive and
“on their toes” in the matter of treat-
ing the tariff along with farm relief
in seeking a solution for the economic
ills of the great agricultural sections.
If it is possible to obtain so-called
“relief” as such, conditions may he
alleviated in large measure bv tariff
protection of those products now er-
nosed to foreign competition, accord |
ing to the views held by Oklahoma
observers.
While the locations of teh confer-
ences were selected with particular
reference to crop zones, such as wheat
at Enid and cotton at Lawton, such
commodities as hides, wool, dairy
products, sugarbeets and sugar, pea- I
nuts and peanu. ducts, and brom-
com, will he taken up unon request
at any of the meetings. Because of
th' nre'sin ^importance of the Cana-
ditn wheat situation and the disposi-
tion to protect cottonseed oil from
cheap competition from outside the
United States, it was deemed expedi-
ent to assure full representation cf

field.
The Babe is one of the real vet-
erans of the league and is nearing
the end. There are many who
believe it may be this year. Those
slender ankles have been carrying
a mnmmoth load for many years,
and he is beginning to show signs
of slowing up. And it is in the
records that he was hurt often
and easily last summer.
But the Babe will hit this sum-
mer. He will be able to slam the
horsehide as long as he is able to
crawl up to the plate with a bat
in his hands. And the fear of
rival pitchers will be just as great.
Of course, he may not be the
"greatest” player, as he has been
in years previous. But he will be
a great player.
And there is this to remember:
the Babe is shooting at a new con-
tract and every move he makes
this season will be directed at that
end. And he knows he must ex-

To satisfy the overwhelming public demand for the
new Chevrolet Six, the Chevrolet Motor Company has
accomplished one of the most remarkable industrial
achievements of all time. In less than three months
after the first Chevrolet Six was delivered to the pub-
lic, the Chevrolet factories are producing 6,000 cars a
day. As a result, more than a quarter-million new
Chevrolet Sixes have been delivered to date —and this
tremendous popularity is increasing every day! If you
have not yet seen and driven this remarkable car—
come in for a demonstration!
