Sept. 17 —(UP) — Clunt Butcher's advice to members of the Huntington high school football squad on how to tackle, proved his undoing. Butcher, the coach, instructed one of the players to tackle him while the others studied his technique.

TEAM DRILLS FOR OPENER The Decatur high school football . team went through a final hard workout this afternoon at Niblick field in preparation for the opening of the grid season Saturday afternoon when the Auburn high school team comes here for a game. Coach Zeke Young has a bunch of veterans on his Auburn team and that squad has been drilling for several days. The Auburn aggregation has played Decatur the open|ing game for the last several years and the game always is a good one. Coach Tiny Horton is still unde-'* i elded as to which players he will start and it was indicated today j that about 15 or 20 players would see action before the game ended. The local candidates are working hard and have showed some real ability the last few days. Friday's drill will consist of a light work-out, with little or no scrimmage, Horton stated. Word was received here today that Au-1 burn is bringing a big delegation to the opening game. TODAY'S SPORTS PARADE By HENRY McELMORE VP Staff Correspondent ♦ — ♦ New York, Sept. 17.— (U.R) —ls Hack Wilson is smart — and any , man who makes $35,006 a year must’ be—he will hie himself to the near-1 est library (or drugstore and purchase a biography of that greatest of all sluggers, George Herman Ruth. A thorough reading of such a ' work with possibly a re-reading of the chapters dealing with the years 1925 and 1926 will, we believe, bring Hack much comfort and encouragement. For unless our memory is up to some prank Ruth had the same | sort of season in 1925 that Hack enjoyed (?) this year. It was in 1925, you will recall, that the Babe had the “stomach ache that was , heard ‘round the world.” He also had his worst season in | baseball. He played in but 98 of his club's 151 games. His hatting average dropped below the .300 mark and he connected for but 25 I home runs. To make matters worse I he was handed an indefinite suspension that cost him more than > $5,000. It was freely predicted at the end of the season that Ruth , was through. The Babe started him comeback drive early in January when he placed himself in the hands of a trainer with the instructions to shoot the works.” He soft-pedall- I ed the playboy stuff. What he did in 1920 is proved by i the soundness of his methods. The i | year after his worst season in base- j .ball Ruth hit at a .372 clip, cracked out 47 home runs, played in 152 j games, and did more than his share lin lifting the Yankees, a seventh j ' place club in '25, to the champion-1 ship. Wilson is about the same age as ■ Ruth was in 1925. If he goes about i i a comeback in the same spirit as ; I did Ruth, he probably will be I j among the game's leaders next I I year. But if he sulks, continues to ]try and drown his sorrows, and spends his time thinking about the I raw (?) deal he received, he'll hit j I the minors and stay there. I You'll never convince mo that Hack isn't largely to blame for his collapse as a hitter. This talk about Hornsby giving him’ the "works” t sounds a hit hollow. Hornsby has ! a high-powered job that he wants ' to hold. To hold it he must pro-1 duce winning ball clubs. Knowing ‘ this the Rajah would not be likely to endanger his team's chances of I i turning put a winner by “riding” i his best hitter into a deep slump. SWOPE PLANS CONSTITUTION FOR INDUSTRY (GONTINtTiCn FROM PAGE ON3B I elusion with leaders of the elec-! trical industry — although it was I planned to embrace all U. S. inI dustries —and has the tacit ap- ‘ . proval of that group. Owen D. Young, board chairman) I of General Electric, also spoke at i (he dinner and heartily endorsed the plan. Swope said five principles under-' I lie his program: "Every effort should be made to ; stabilize Industry and thereby stabilize employment to give the i worker regularity and continuity of employment, and when this is practicable, unemployment insurance should be provided. "Organized industry should take ■ the lead, recognizing its responsibility to Its employees, to the pub- | lie. and to its stockholders rather | than that democratic society I Should act through its government. “There should be standardized forms of reports so that stockholders may be properly Informed. | "Producflon and consumption should be coordinated on a j broader and more intelligent basis thus tending to regularize employment and thereby removing fear I from the minds of the workers as

to continuity of employment; as to their surviving dependents in case of deaths; and as to old age. ■ "Every effort should be made to . preserve the benefits of individual I originality, initiative, and enterI prise, and to see that the public ! ! is assured that its interests will I be protected." Adoption of the proposals will ! require modification of "some exis- , ting laws,” Swope admitted. By , this it was understood he referred to the Sherman anti-trust laws. Swope's plan would benefit the individual worker in the following manner: He would be protected by workmen's compensation. He would receive a life and dis-1 ability insurance policy with a > face value equal to a year's pay. paid for by the worker and the company-on equal terms. He would receive a pension on i retirement from a fund to which I he and the company had contrib-1 uted equally. The pension w'ould I equal half his regular pay. If tightening of business condi-1 tions should cause him to lose his ; job he would receive payments up to S2O a week from a fund to which he and the employer had ( contributed, and the funds also would be available for loans. AR the above benefits include provisions allowing him to trans-’ for from one company to another, I or from one industry to another I without losing any of the funds he

has contributed to the various forms of protection, as long as the firms for which he works arc. among those bound by the "busini>ss constitution.” The individual employer and stockholder, on the other hand, would be benefitted as follows: The trade association would regulate trade practices and business ethics. It would establish standard methods of accounting for the particular industry, as .well as standard forms of financial statements. It would collect and distribute information on volume of business, inventories, standardization of products and stabilization of prices. The stockholder would get a statement of earnings and condition of the business at least once each quarter. Plans of the individual trade. associations would have to be ap- ■ I proved by the federal supervisory ■ body. A general board of admin- ■ istration, composed of three mem--1 bers representing employers, three 1 representing labor, and three ap- ; pointed by the federal board. would interpret the insurance and pension features of the plan, and organize and administer the trust funds. o LOST- Ladles purse containing a $5 bill ami between $3 and $4 in! change, and garage key.
