Roosevelt Lauds Courage Of American
People In Weathering The Storm
■
(By The Associated Press)
LOS ANGELES. Oct. 1—President Roosevelt, arriving
from Boulder Dam assured a crowd of seventy thousand
people at the memorial coliseum:
“We have come through stormy seas into fair weather.
As you know, I have not come here to speak to you formally.
I can tell you truthfully however, that in crossing the con
tinent I have been heartened more than anything else by
the look on the people’s faces. It is trully shown, not by
figures alone, but by the spirit of the great mass of Ameri
cans, in every part of the country, that we have come thru
stormy seas into fair weather. .
“Patience is receiving its reward; Faith is being justi
fied and Hope is be»ng fulfilled. The greatest factor in the
improvement has been the courage of the American people
themselves.
“Without your help, our labor would have availed us
far less. We have taken many steps to protect the family
and individual against the many natural vicissitudes of life.
We have moved forward to give greater security to the un
employed and aged. We have sought sound means to our
end.
“Just so long as the least among us remains hungry or
uncared for, or unable to find useful work, just so long must
it be the task of all forms of government—local, state and
federal—to seek reasonable but progressive means to assist
the unfortunate!”

CUBS PICKED TO WIN
FIRST GAME —TIGERS
STAGE BIG WORKOUT
Rowe And Warnecke To Be Start-off Men
In Box For The Cubs And Tigers
(By The Associated Press)
DETROIT, Oct. 1—The baseball-minded world is cen
tered on the attraction here and is waiting with abated
breath, for the world series to begin tomorrow.
Schoolboy Rowe and Warneke are given the high places
in the limelight, having been selected to start the games as
pitchers for Detroit and Chicago, respectively.
Almost forty-nine thousand people are expected to see
the opening game here Wednesday.
“For three, more or less debatable reasons,” Alan Gould
Sports Editor of the Associated Press picks Chicago to win
the series. First—the Cubs are the hottest team in either
major league. Second—the Cubs are remarkably young
and aggressive and are geared for high speed, and third—
they will enter the series with the psychological advantage,
having ended the season with confidence, whereas Detroit
lost fourteen and won twelve games out of the last twenty
six played. Detroit will have to get back to mid-season
form, which is hard to do at the end of a season.
DETROIT, Oct. 1—Worried by the lackadaisical efforts
of his team after the penant was cinched, M’ckey Cochrane
started lashing' his men unmercifully and as a result, the
Tigers dashed through a two hour workout yesterday show
ing more pep than they have in weeks.
