Valley fans, although they
knew Art fhires to be somewhat
of a hrash lad. are having a hard
time believing some of the re
ports returning here as to the
Whit' Sex first s»rker. Shires
performed in the Valley league.
The following is told of Art:
In New York Shires was accost
ed by a stranger in the lobby of
the hostelry where Lou Barber
boards hl» White Sox tourists.
“I was thinking of going out to
see a bn I' gome.” the stranger
said. "Haven't seen cnc in a long
whi’e.”
"If I knew for certain I was
rc’ne to nby." said the Great
Shires. *Vd advi'r you to go out.
It would be well worth your
while.
• # •
Another rBcent Shires yarn:
He was strolling down the aisle
to hi< seat for Ihe third act of a
Broadwfiv show a few nights ago
when there was an outburst of ap
plause from the orchectra seats.
He appreciated it very much. He
bowed to the right. He bowed to
the left. He turned around to bow
and came face to face with Doug
las Fp.irhanks. Jr. and his br.de for
whom the applause was intended.
Then he sat down.

Art is now said to affect spats.

Fill Terrs rf the Giants tells of
meeting the Shires at a one-day
*tind at DaP-'s during the train

plptB changes of costume. Terry,
no m'?n dresser himself, was

Box Office Feels
Effects of Babe’s
l Enforced Absence
NEW YORK. June 11——One j
£ Way of proving conclusively that:
Babe Ruth draws the crowds is to
show the Yankees without the Bam
bino in the lineup.
During the Babe's recent absence
because of a sprained wrist and a
cold only 25.000 fans attended a
I Sunday game. That's a big Sabbath
crowd for some cities, but it's a poor
one for the Yankee stadium with
its 75.000 capacity.
This low attendant" mark came
Tight after the newspapers had em
phasized a Yankee shakeup. Shifts
were made in both the outfield and
infield, representing probably the
mfl* radical changes made since the
YHIees became a suner-club. Yet ;
tiw curiosity of the fans was more
than off-set by the loss of the Babe.
It is true that the White Sox pro
vided the opposition for this Rundav
game, but Lena Bla"kburne's club
( cannot be rated a poor attraction
despite their poor rating in the av-1
erages There's that headline spar
ging team of Blackburne & Shires j
that doubtless drew thousands to j
Col. Jake Ruprert'a arena.
1 But the old appeal simply wasn'ti
inhere with the Babe missing.
| "Had I known Ruth was out I
wrould have gone to Coney.'" snarled
I an office boy as he hurled a pass !
pook back toward the donor.

OLD TIMERS
TODAY
By GEORGE STOVALL
Former Star Big League First Bar
man and Former Manager Cleve
land Indians. St. Louis Browns
and Kansas City Federal*. Writ
ten Especial!*- for Central Press
and The Herald.
Frank Schulte, once famous as
an outfielder with the champion
Chicago Cubs, is with an oil com
pany at Richmond. Cal., Schulte
was one of the cogs in the great
machine that Frank Chance built
at Chicago, and which swept to the
bareball pinnp.cle before its defeat
at the hands of Fielder Jones and
his Chicago White Sox snelled the
beginning of the end of the Cub
regime.
Schulte was a great fielder and
was noted for his home run hit
ting. When Frank connected prop
erly with the ball there usually
remained nothing else but a slow
iog around the bases for the hard
hitting outfielder.
Frank was a slow talker, but
there wasn't anything wrong with
his thinking. He was a smart ball
player, always using his head as
well as his arms and legs. That’s
whv he was one of the Cubs' aces
during the days of their glory.
They tell a story on Schulte In
the major leagues to Illustrate that
Frank usually had a snapov come
back It seems that the Cubs wer
playing an exh’biticvn game at To
ronto on an off day and thev were
neatlv trounced by the Interna
tional leaguers.
That didn’t set verv well with
Chance, so "Husk** called his men
together and delivered a lecture.
The Cub bass laid down the law.
telling them that he knew the rea
son they had been trimmed by a
minor league club was because the
Cubs hid been staying out late and
drinking too much. Chance prai*»
ed Toronto's showing and pointed
to the players on that team as
shining examples. Perfect in disci
pline. he said.
‘ Is that so?" piped Schulte. "Well.
I know these Toronto boys, and.
sav. they do their training on
BEER "
What Chance answered to that
one has been lost to posterity.

While Operating
(Special to The Herald)
AUSTIN. June 13-Motor truck
line operators will be allowed to
continue operation when the state
law placing them under control of
the railroad commission and re
quiring them to possess permits,
goes into effect Wednesday until
they can comply with the perm.!
law. the commission has announced.
Mark Marshall, motorbus direc
tor. will supervise approximately
1200 class A motor truck lines, ana
an unknown number of class B
lines. Notices will be sent Thurs
day, he announced, to all operatng
lines, that they will be given a rea
sonable time to file applications !or
permits, and to pay required fees.
Insurance policies carrying a to
tal of $23,500 Insurance each, will
be required to accompany all appli
cations.
Lines now operating will be per
mitted to continue their schedules
until the commission has time to
pass on the aonliemtions for per
mits. Mr. Marshall said.
The new law placing truck lines
under the railroad commission**
supervision gives the board power
to fix and regulate schedules of
oneration and rates and tariff
charges It follows the former
placing of motor buses under the
railroad commission.

The “Caterpillar”
Tractor’s track is the
magic fuel saver . . .
for there’s no fuel
wasted in slipping.
It rides the surface
with a sure, broad
footed grip that does
n’t sink in . . doesn’t
pack the soil . . Hun
dreds of gallons of
fuel saved each year
by the famous track
principle!
Over soft spots . . . wet spots .. . this wide track
carries the “Caterpillar” . . . plowing early . . . har
vesting late. Saving men, money and minutes on
thousands of modern, and profitable farms.
... And Here's Why
The track doesn’t move on the ground! The "Cater
pillar” may be moving ahead at three miles an hour
. .. and the top of the track will travel at six miles an
hour and the bottom not at all. It’s the sure, firm,
motionless track that saves he fuel and the wear.
