High Tariff Friends
Seek to Block Move
By Senator Poindexter

Senator PoindeXter's resolution for an
investigation by the Department of
Commerce and Labor into conditions
among the millworkers at Lawrence,
Mass, is stirring up a bigger contro-
versY in the Senate than was generally
anticipated when it was presented. 1t
has come to have an important bearing
on the tariff question, as we'll as on
the Industrial situation in the Massa-
cr1Isetts town.
Democratic leaders in the Senate,
though opposing so much of the resolu-
tion as would require a Federal inVesti-
cation into the action of the local police
and militia, are eager for the investi-
cation because they think 1t would
throw needed light on the question of
just how much benefit American work
out of the protective tariff system.
They think 1t would disclose that the
operation of the tariff on wooden goods
in this case is to result in the employ
ment of great numbers of aliens at
low wages.
The Senate discussed the resolution
for two hours yesterday afternoon and
then 1t went over. A motion by Senator
Gallinger to table was lost by q to "a
When the resolution went over two
amendments were pending. one by Sena-
tor Culberson, which would have elimi-
mated that part of the resolution refer
ring to an investigation of the action
OF the local authorities and one by
Bacon, which would have struck out all
the resolution.
Senator Poindexter will press the
resolution at the earliest opportunity.
The debate thus far has shown that
there is deep anxiety among both
New England and Southern Senators
who are from regions where there are
woolen or cotton mills, to prevent real
inquiry.

JONES MAY HAVE
WON PENNANT FOR
DETROIT TIGERS
Had He Been on Team
Gamer Would Have
Lost Heart.

The performances Of Tom Jones, form
er initial saCker on the Tigers in the
American Association last season, fur
nished subject for discussion by sew
cral players the other day in Detroit.
All agreed that had Jones been with
the team he would have plugged the
gap caused by the injury to Gamer and
his presence might have enabled the
Tigers to win another pennant.
One player, however, took issue with
the others. And this is the way he
viewed the Jones situation:
Had Tom Jones been with the Tigers
last spring Gamer would not have been
on the initial sack when the season
opened. Jones would have showed up
the youngster in the spring training and
Gamer instead of developing into one of
the best first basemen in the major
leagues, would have been sent TO the
minors
"He would have lost heart The vet
eran would have been playing a strong
game and Gamer wOuld have taken the
position and assumed the air of i can't
ing?'
"Gainer showed in poor form in the
spring games. He tielded amateurishly,
and his hitting was far from being con-
sistent. 1t was not until the team was
in Indianapolis, on the return swing,
that he started to gain his stride. Then
he came strong. He gained confidence,
and with the confidence came sure play
ing.
come to him had Jones been on the
Detroit may have lost a pennant
through Jones absence. But il gained
star first baseman in the meantime. "

RALPH FR|NK CAN
GET CONTRACT WITH
SPOKANE INDIANS
Joe Cohn Believes He Can
Get Pitcher a
Release.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Feb. IL
II Joe Cohn can bring about the release
of Ralph Frink from the Mavericks, as
the penitentiary team is known. he will
give him a contract with the Spokane
Indians.
Frink's release may be hard to get,
but COhn believes the contract can be
annulled, or at least that he can get
Frink farmed out to him.
Frink is the twirler who pitched Ath-
ems to the pennant III the Blue Noun
tain League. He afterward twirled for
Chehalis, in the Washington State
League, While in Chehalis, after the
season had closed, he tried to rob
store while he was drunk and was con-
victed and sentenced to the State peni-
tentiary.
When in shape Frink is one of the
best pitchers to be found in this sec
ton, and would prove a likely candi-
date for the Spokane pitching staff
He can also hit we'll and is a heady

Griffith repeated TODAY what he said

Among those who dropped in to pay
their respects to Griffith yesterday
were George oMreland, the best
known OF the baseball statisticlans,
and Bill Friel, manager of the Colum-

Clyde Milan has not yet signed a
Washington contract. Neither will be
until he has been at Charlottesville and
had a talk with Clark Griffith. This
was the information which reached
baseball headquarters today.
Milan has been in Texas on a hunting
trip of several weeks, and in his letter
10 the manager of the Nationals said
that his contract had been delayed in
being forwarded, and that he would pre-
fer to discuss matters before he placed
his name in the blank space.
With Milan's letter, in the same mail,
came q registered envelope from Bob
Groom which included a signed docu-
ment. Groom is studying medicine at
st. Louis University, and has finally
closed OIL terms here after several let
tiers had passed between the manager
and the player.

Noyes, reached here before noon today,
and will remain in Washington through
Sunday. johnson is here to attend the

This supposed trouble between the
American and National leagues has

at the Willard today. Il have been in
communication with Tom Lynch, and
