State departments and local posts of
the American Legion should give their
entire support to the Legion's legisla-
tive program, to the exclusion of all
other propositions, stated Franklin
D'Olier. national commander, in a
memorandum sent to all Legion
bodies. The Legions legislative pro-
gram includes the fourfold optional
plan of beneficial legislation for for
mer service men, and needed legisla-
ton for disabled service men. The
national officers have been requested
to take up many other projects, but
must devote their time to the present

NEW CUB STORTSTOP
LOOKS PROMISING

Manager Mitchell of the Chicago
Cubs has uncovered a fine young
shortstop named Pearce. When Char
ley Hollocher recently developed a
stone bruise on his right hand and
had to 60 to the bench Pearce jumped
into his position and played brilliantly.
Pearce was member Of the Philiies
two years ago. but was turned adrift
because he could not hit Under
Mitchell he is coming fast and will
be retained on the Cubs payroll all
season.
Phil Douglas, the only certified spit
ball pitcher on the staff of the Giants,
will use the damp delivery this season,
but being wiser than he is sometimes
credited with being, he is preparing
for another year, when the dispense
ton he and other spitball artists now
enjoy shall have expired. Phil, though
he favors the saliva ball, is not solely
dependent upon it to carry him
through. He has a good fast ball and
very fair sort of a curve, and this
year he will use these deliveries more
than in previous seasons, so that the
loss of the splitter will not be such a
severe blow to him.

good shape some weeks ago and pro-
ceeded to speed up. He was among
the first of the Giant pitchers to show
signs of approaching championship
season form, and his work in the
games with the Red Sox has been up
to par. If Phil keeps his mind on the
game this year he should be a great
help to the club. for at his best he is
one of the most capable box artists in
the game. The chances are he will
stick to the straight and narrow, for
it would seem that he should have
learned his lesson.
The National league umpires are 60
ing to enforce the new pitching rules
to the letter. The use of rosin will
not be permitted. BoXmen cannot
thrust their fingers into hip pockets
where this foreign substance formerly
was concealed. Having been made to
understand that the rules must be
obeyed, the pitchers, with few excep-
tons, now are forgetting freak deliv-
cries and are getting results. Doctor
ing the ball is a lost art. 1t never
belonged in the game, and first class
pitchers can get along without resort
ing to such tactics.

WASHINGTON, June "a con-
troversy over the future of the all
service of America has developed in
1.-THE army air service, involving to
some extent the naval fiiers, n each
group Is charging that the other is
bent on destruction of the supremacy
the United States should have In the
air. The bone of contention is the
importation of foreign built airplanes,
and while this is primarily a CONNER
cial issue. 1t also involves not only the
airplane builders but the question OF
training pilots for future wars.
Two attempts were made in con-
gress to shut out the foreign built
machines, both being unsuccessful,
and army air officers of unquestion-
ed integrity testified on both sides of
the question, during the brief but
heated hearings that were held before
the ways and means committee of the
House.
The latest move in the controversy
has been made. by the largest air.
plane manufacturer in America who
has announced practically complete
abandonment of all plans for the man
Iufacture of commercial airplanes In
this country. This step is taken"
the announcement reads, las the re-
suit of the failure of Congress to pro-
|tect the airplahe market of the United
States against the invasion of British
airplanes. bought by a syndicate from
the British government at n per
cent. of their cost, for export to this
country and now about to be dumped
into this market"
Briefly the points al issue are as
follows:
The syndicate referred to includes
many men who gave loyal service to
this country during the war, n who
take the position hat the use of
thousands of airplanes in this country

sustain the interest of thousands OF
fiieEs trained during the war and now
rapidly forgetting their cunning as
pilots. They insist that only foreign
machines, built during the war, are
available in the quantities needed or
at the price which the launching of
the enterprise demands. and that by
the time the foreign built machines
are worn out the manufacturers In
this country will be able to build re-
placements as needed, and even say
that the syndicate itself may set up a
manufacturing plant. Get the ma
chimes and get the country Interested

to.
The other group which includes
army officers of high rank and which
is directed by the Manufacturers Air

dent shows that when once a certain
type of machine or device has captur-
ed a market 1t is almost impossible
to replace 1t with something else. and
THAT by letting America become q
market for British planes. even
though bought at a small fraction OF
their cost, the elimination of this
country as an air power is certain.
The American airplane manufac-
turers add that so long as the salvaged
British planes are to be had there will
be no incentive to manufacture new
planes in this country, and that by the
time the supply of salvaged planes is

Members Of the ways and means
committee a few days before Congress
adjourned. listened to the foregoing
arguments at some length and Were
frankly puzzled to find the answer.
Those in favor of allowing the for
eign machines to come in charged that
some ~airplane builders of this country
had not acted in good faith in many
instances during the war n hat
they did not come before the COM
mittee with clean hands Thus charges
and counter charges, prophecies and
counter prophecies were made while
members of the committee sat and
scratched their heads. and then took
no action, allowing congress to adj

in December a great many air-planes
will have reached this country from
abroad, but those in favor OF some
Ianti-dumping measures are going 10
descend on the capitol again In force.
and the battle will be renewed with
vigor.
Several of the leading iiers Of the
army air service have resigned their
commissions to go with the syndicate
that expects to ~1naugurate ten large
air lines in this country, and. one or
the best fiiers In the navy also Is iden-
titled with 1t. They resent and impu-
tation hat they are attempting to
deliver the air power of America to a
foreign country, and defend their pa
triotic motives most vigorously. The
manufacturers are just as positive in
their position and have called at least
two general officers of the air service
as witnesses that dumping means
destruction to the air program. Tho
fight has been aiken up all down the
missioned officers are divided as to
which of the two widely divergent
programs is the best for the service.
1t Is probable hat congress will de-
eide six months n which argu-
ment possesses the most merit.

How many baseball managers

Not many.

But most of the players in the
majors have demanded much more
than they are justified to.
81 think probably many Of the
demands are made through jealousy
OF each others success and through
transformation. Ball players some
times boast Of their salaries to each
other and declare they are making a
thousand or two more Than they
really receive. This sets the other
fellow to thinking about what he

League Data

The Star Fish lost their chances TO
tie for the lead in the Elks bowling
league last night when tho Ironclads
annexed three straight, but close,
games from the Fish. The first game
was won by twelve pins, this second
by thirty-one and the last by only
seven pins. As a result OF these
games 1t appears as though the IRON
clads are strongly imbedded in first
place and will not be moved before
the end of the league. High scores
were few and far between, Kutcher's
1873 being high for the night. Reyes
with 1872 was second. Kennedys
average of 159 was high while that
OF N.reiner with 1855 was high for the
winning combination.
