PERKINS, EX-MOOSE,
ASSAHS WILSON RULE
Writes Presidents Secretary,
Telling of the Administra-
tons Failure

NEW YORK, Sept. 27-George w. Per-
kins. former chairman OF the Progressive
party's national committee, today aimed a
few broadsides at President Wilson because
Of his speech in Baltimore on Monday.
Mr.. Perkins, who is now supporting the
candidacy of Charles Evans Hughes, made
the attack through a letter sent to Joseph
P. Tumulty, secretary to the President.
From the beginning to the end of that
Baltimore speech its evident intent" said
Mr.. Perkins, was to make the people be-
lieve that during the Wilson administration
a vast amount Of constructive legislation
has been enacted by Congress to promote
business interests of the country Every
well-informed citizen knows that nothing of
the sort has been done"
Mr.. Perkins sharply criticized President
Wilson because "he forbade this country to
join European nations in making loan to
China" Mr.. Perkins said this action shut
out the United States from a rare oppor-
tunity to gain a foothold In the Far East.
president Wilson," asserted Mr. Perkins,
has allowed our commercial relations with
England TO become so tangled during the
war as TO make the situation almost intol-
cradle for our business concerns"

HURT SOLDIERS AIDED
BY M'KENZIE MACHINES
Pennsylvania Physical Director
Returns From Conditioning
Britain's Wounded Men

Dr. r. TAFT Mckenzie, physical director
of the University OF Pennsylvania and
president OF the American Physical Asso-
clation-, who has just returned after six
teen months service in the British army
in the Royal Army Medical Corps, told to-
day of the remarkable work of conditioning
wounded soldiers, that they may return to
the front.
Doctor Mckenzie received the rank Of
major and was assigned TO reorganize the
physical instruction in the British armies.
large task In view of the fact that the
small stan of instructors who had been
doing this work had Joined their regiments
and gone to the front.
DR.. Mckenzie not only accomplished the
work. but established and supervised the
organization of a dozen model camps for
the conditioning of convalescents preparing
them for the front, and for the business
of living II they were permanently disabled.
1t was he who recommended the estab-
lshment OF such camps.
DIR. Mckenzie invented several ingenious
machines for the use of convalescents in
reRainng the use OF shattered limbs, which
had become paralyzed through inactivity
and shock
One machine is designed to bring back
the action of the hand and wrist joints. The
hands of men working this machine have
been torn by sharpnel
Another machine, made from odd pieces
of gas pipe and window cord, is used for
the convaescents whose leg joints have be-
come stiffened through injury or mac
tivity.
The wounded man turns the crank with
his hand and this causes the foot-rest to
work back and forth or up and down at his
discretion.
The machines have been the means by
which regiments of men, who otherwise
would have stayed in hospitals for many
months have been returned to active serv-
ice
When Doctor Mckenzie arrived in Eng
land the Government machinery was
equipped for training fewer than 100, 900
men. Through his capacity for organiza-
ton more than 5000, 900 men can be at
tended to within a year

There were rumors that Griffith
would not change his training camp.
In fact, the local correspondent OF
Sporting News only recently insisted
that Griffith would return TO Char
lottcsville. though he had officially an
nounced weeks before that ne proposed
to give up the Virginia college town
and find q place somewhere farther
south.
Despite this fact there were those
who believed that Griffith would not
make the change.
Griffith will give his regular players
but three weeks of training away from
home, this being sufficient, now that
he will have a warm climate to worh
them in. to get them in perfect condi-
ton. But he VIII give his twirlers
more work, sending them south at least
two weeks before the regulars go. He
figures that about five weeks is requlr-
ed to get the pitchers on edge.
The fact that Griffith will not return
to Charlottesville will cause lot OF
rejoicing among the players. who have
commended from the outset Of their go
ing to the Virginia town that 1t was
not the place to train.
Better results should be attained with
the team training at Augusta, because
most of the days there the weather VIII
be such that batting practice can be in =
dulged in, and there is nothing more
beneficial than batting practice for Il
team. Little Of that. WAS available at
Charlottesville, for when the weather
was not too cold the grounds were COW
cred with snow. or it driZZled enough to
make batting practice out of the ques-
ton.
What is more. that tiresome and in
furious practice of having the players
work out on the hard floor of a gym
fasium, where they are likely to In
lure their legs, is a thing of the past,
and the players will appreciate this
fact also.
There is not a chance of the proposed
new players contract not containing
the ten-day release clause. 1t has been
said this is to be eliminated because OF
the fact that II is not legal, that the
national commission is going to make
the contract SO that 1t will stand the
acid test and be recognized by the
courts as equitable.
But 1t is certain that base ball cannot
exist without the ten-day clause and
provision, unless one equally as binding
| is substituted. and 1t is not clear how
| this can be arranged. To begin with,
| the failure to insert the ten-day clause
| in the contract could jeopardize a
! clubs interest for the reason that il
could not let a player out when it got
| through with him.
In regard to. the proposal for q
twelve-month contract, which might OF
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-11-19

might not suit the players. the latter
being most probable. that change will
not be made. for nothing is gained
by it.
sixteen years ago this was in vogue
in the National League. but it proved
unsa satisfactory and was thrown out of
the documents after a seasons trial. 1t
VIII never be returned to the con-
tracts, for there is not a club owner in
either league who would stand for this
arrangement
According to Manager Griffith, there
IS but one menace left to base bail and
that Is the Players Fraternity over
which David Fultz presides.
mere Is no room for that sort of
a fraternity because it does not helm
the players and hurts base ball" Crit
nth SAID yesterday. 1T has never sue-
gested anything fair to the game or
any one connected with it and the
sooner me can is tied to Fultz and the
fraternity the better off the game will
be.
Ihe idea of demanding that the
minor leagues pay the travelling ex-
penses of their players to and from
their homes is preposterous The frat
ernity made the major leagues adont
TINS rule and it costs US no less than
@3:ooo a year to live up to it,
Making the minors do that would
be rulnous to the little fellows. because
"'ini oPl any OIL them II
you insisted on their paying the rail-
rqad 1ares of their players 1t costs
Jqst as much to ship I. busher as it
dPes waiter Johnson, and it would
break the minors If they were forced
to DO such thing. And yet the PLAY
ers fraternity says it will force the
minors to do this"
1T is gratifying to know that August
hermann of the Cincinnati club is
slaled 10 succeed himself as chairman
OF the national commission. There is
no one identified with the game who
stands better with the public than
Garry; his record as the head of the
commission Is clean as a whistle and
ms judgment has been melted out in a
fa1r ana square way. Even the fra
ternlty. which seldom agreed with or
ganized base ball in anything, praises
hermann. and that is saying q good
deal.
Coming back to his position has been
assured Hermann. Though Barney
Dreyfuss will introduce a resolution to
compel John Tener to vote against
him. Tener will be forced to do so, by
the general vote of the league. John
son has long since buried the Ratchet
and Is strong for the popular Gin
cinnatian.
The retention of Joe Tinker as man
ager Of the Chicago Cubs stood to rea-
son, just as soon as Charles Weeghman
was reelected to the presidency of the
Chicago club. Weeghman never had
any intention of dropping Tinker, for
he is as capable as any one to handle
/ the team.
what is true of Tinker also goes for
