Adolph Howe, Owner
Actum From Airport
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —
(UP) — One of the grandest
characters in baseball is Lon-
nie Warneke, the Arkansas hill-
billy and cracker box philoso-
pher who pitches for the St.
Louis Cardinals.
Pull up a chair and let's talk
to Lonnie for a little while in
the lobby of the Detroit ho-
tel. where the Cards are mak-
ing their spring headquarters.
Please hear with good-natured
Lon if he seems a little bit
nervous on this particular oc-
casion because any minute now
news will come from the bed-
side of Mrs. Warneke in Hot
Springs, Ark., that he's the
father of a second child.
Reason For Nerves
Ordinarily Lon isn't given to
nervousness about anything.
Scarcely anything perturbs him
whether he's pitching a crucial
game for the Cardinals, manag-
ing his 320-acre Arkansas farm
or playing a guitar in Pepper
Martin's Mudcat. band. But if a
fellow gets a little nervous when
his wife is on the verge of
motherhood 900 miles away,
why he has some excuse.
Pitching is Lon's business so
let's get him to talk about
that.
"I hope to go on pitching as
long as they pay me," said
Warneke. "When they cut my
pay off then I guess I'll retire
to my farm. 1 like baseball.
The hours are good, the eats
are good, it's a fine game to
play, you meet a lot of inter-
esting people and you get to
travel. What more could a fel-
low want?"
"Third Best Pitcher"
Warneke is the third best
The records show that
pitcher in the National Lea-
gue for. fellows who've been
around more than one year.
He's won lis games and lost
70 for the Cubs and Cards in
seven years. Only Carl Hub-
bell and Dizzy Dean top him.
Only four pitchers Hubbell,
Melton. Turner and Fette won
more games than he did last
season. His. record was 18 and
11.
He had the dubious honor of
pitching 30 home run balls
last season, more than any
other pitcher in National Lea-
gue history, but do you think
Warneke would alibi those cir-
cuit clouts? "No".
"Where They Aim"
"I seem to be pitching where
the boys were aiming",«. he
said. "Even double play hitters
were teeing off on me at
times. The stuff I used to fool
'em with was duck soup for
'em last year. My slow curve
is one of my best pitches yet
cripples picked on it, and my
fast ball which I sometimes use
for a 'waste bail' was being hit
for homers. But it don't both-
er me. 1 just pitch the best
1 know how. Even if my daddy
was up there swinging I'd
bear down on him with every-
thing I had."
While some bemoan the weak-
ness of the Cardinals' catching
staff, Warneke says he doesn't
care who's catching him.
Doesn't Mind "Diss"
"A catcher can help a pit-
cher, of course," said Warn-
eke. "But it, don't matter whose
catching me. A good pitcher can
pitch to almost anybody."
.Mrs. Don Gutteridge came by
and whispered in Warneke's
ears: "Any news?'
Lon started in fidgeting again
and said, "Nothing yet."

YOUTH GETS 'STUCK'
TWICE IN PIN GAME
COLORADO SPRINGS,
Colo. — (UP) — Keith Agee,
18, stuck his finger into the
slot of a pin game three
months ago and it took a
policeman three hours to re-
lease him.
Today Agee was telling a
friend about it.
"I got it stuck just like
this," he said, demonstrating
with the slot of a pin game.
Again Agee's finger was
caught. The same officer
released him in two hours.

Nolan county fans who like
good track and field events
should lay plans now to see the
Nolan Comity Intel-scholastic
League contests on Newman
field Saturday. It is reported
that as fine an aggregation of
track and field men arc ever
competed, and probably better,
will cavort in the various events
here Saturday. County records
probably will have a field day,
with several new marks in pros-
pect.
The United Press and the
Associated Press wires flashed
news over the world five
months ago that twin monkeys
had been born to a pair of car-
nival simions.
The news failed to impress
the average reader—hadn't Mrs.
Dionne given birth to five little
humans? What was all this
nonsense about a monkey
having twins?
But monkey fanciers over
the world marveled. For mon-
key twinS had never before
been born. Here was some-
thing new.
In Monahans curious crowds
packed the side show of the T.
J. Tidwell shows and carnival
to see the cute little twins.
They were far more impressed,
however, by the antics of the.
little curly headed monkeys
than by the fact that they
were born twins. A contest was
held to find names for the
babies and selected were "Mon"
and "Hans" after the birthplace
of the twins.
The monkey trainers with the
show, which will begin a show-
ing in Sweetwater March 26
when the little twins and a
host of older monkey per-
formers will be on exhibition,
are proud of their charges.
At winterquarters today,
where last minute preparations
are underway for the spring
opening of the Tidwell shows
here Saturday, one of the
trainers said the twins evident-
ly liked Sweetwater. One had
gained two pounds and the
other has added two pounds
and three ounces to his weight.
Cowboy Smith, the trainer,
says "Sweetwater has good
weather for monkeys," and he
says, "it isn't a joke either, for
monkeys need nicer weather
than we humans."

Car Registration
Below Feb., 1937
AUSTIN — New passenger
car registrations in Texas dur-
ing February were well below
those of the corresponding
month last year, according to
the University of Texas Bureau
of Business Research.
Reports from sixteen represen-
tative Texas counties show total
sales of 3.993 cars, a decrease
of G.S? per cent from the month
before and a drop of 22.3 per
cent from February last year.
Aggregate sales during the first
two months were 8.279 cars, a
decline of 22.2 per cent from
the corresponding period last
year.
"The two highest price groups
made the best relative showing"
the Bureau's report said. "Sales
in the highest price group were
75.4 per cent above those in
January, but s.,5 per cent below
February last year; while sales
in the price group just below
the highest were 1.0 per cent
below those of January but
wer-e 30.2 per cent above those
of last year."
