Broken legs are usually caus'
ed by the spikes on the shoes
and if some one could invent just
as valuable spike without its at
tendant dangers, he would make
a fortune for himself. When the
spikes catch in the ground, some
thing has to give. Usually it is a
tendon or q bone.
Most broken legs come in slid
ing to base. The spikes catch, the
player falls heavily and snaps a
bone; bang, he is out of the game for
weeks. And when you note that
the players are Sliding to bases all
the time it is remarkable that go
few Of them are hurt.
The Washington times., 1923-03-29


Injured knees are fairly COM
mon and, like Joe Judges injury
now, come from the spikes catching
in the ground. Some men are
more prone TO these injuries than
others, but all face the danger OF
them when they slide or even At
the plate. Hitting at ball ana MIS-
sing it bring many OF such injuries
to the players knees.
Following its usual custom, the
Washington club will have all It's
players insured this season. The
club will thus be reimbursed for
whatever time player is lost TO
the team during the season 1ast
approaching,
natl Reds was the last with
major outfit for the Griffs until
Saturday when Art Fletcher Will
have his Phillies here.
Indeed, but two more such
games are booked for Florida.
The Braves will be played a week
from Saturday and on the follow
ing day both teams will depart
for Savannah, not to see Florida
again until next spring.
Roger Peckinpagh is out Of the
lineup for two or three weeks.
When he poked his finger at the
ball over at Clearwater a week ago
Monday he fractured a bone. the
break being found in X-ray pictures
taken yesterday.
When the injury failed to show
signs of healing in a week, Peck
decided there was something serious
the matter with it. He went to a
doctor and the pictures show a
break I'm the last joint. Bluege
will remain at short until Peck is
in shape to resume playing.
Over at Orlando yesterday the
Reds defeated the Griffs largely
because they punched q few hits
off BrilIheart when the young
sOuthpaw chose to be wild or his
supporting cast agreed to toss the
pill around. The score. to 2,
indicates how close things were
and with a bit more Steadiness
BriIIheart might have won.
Joe Evans collected three hits and
was robbed of another in the ninth
when Harper made a diving catch
of his fly back of short. The speedy
third sacker replaced Goslin and
Rice with the batting honors for
the day.
The team made the long ride to
Orlando by motor car and did not
get back to town till near midnight.
This was the last jaunt for them
In Florida.

Broken wrists, such as Goslin
had last year, are seldom expert
enced. He got his sliding back
to a base but the most Of them
come from from being hit by
pitched balls. The same goes
for ribs. A speedy pitcher can
break a bone in a wrist or q rib
any time he lands on It, but
usually the player gives under the
pain of the blow, no bones are
broken and we know nothing
about it officially.

NO INTEREST IN
j. s, DRY PROPOSAL

Washington, June 14.-Negotiations
with maritime powers for reciprocal
concessions by treaty to clear upssi-
simultaneously rum smuggling and ship
liquor problems still lacked today any
authoritative indication of how the
powers approached would receive the
state departments proposals.
Pending some further development in
the diplomatic conversations, a storm
of argument swept Washington today
dealing for the most part with the re-
lation of supreme court rulings and the
new administration plan for easing
both the commercial intercourse and
rum smuggling embarrassments that
surround it. One school of thought
had developed which contended that the
''in transit" decisions of the court had
set up such construction of the
Transportation" prohibition clause of
the 18th amendment that the govern
mcnt. even Congress, was powerless
to authorize transportation of liquor
within American territory.
For the administration viewpoint IT
was declared fatty and authoritatively
that such a construction of the effect
for the courts opinion would not and
could not be tolerated. 1t also was
said to be the determination of admin
istration leaders to proceed on con-
trary theory up to such a time as the
supreme court might decide. in a spc-
cifc cast presented to it for decision
and directly involving that point. that
the amendment did in face prevent
even Congress from exercising powers
of regulation of the transportation of
liquor.
In that event, it was added. there
exists no means of relieving the ship
liquor situation except by further
amendment of the constitution through
ratification of the amending resolution
by So states. How many years such a
process might take, nobody in authority
would predict.
Following what is held by high adj
ministraticn officials to be the only
commonsense and practical view of the
supreme courts decisions and state
ments. prolonged study of the ship Ii
Cuor question at the state department
has convinced Secretary Hughes that
nothing could be done except through

Jury Hear Another
Instance Broken
Promise of Morse

Washington. June IA second
instance OF the Morses failing to
make good a promise to execute
mortgages on three of their steam
ers as surety for a government loan
advanced to assist them in carrying
out their ship building contracts
with the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton was related today to the jury
in the Morse case.
Howard Coonley. OF Boston, form
cry president OF the Fleet
Corporation, testified that in jan
.uary, 1919, B. w. Morse proposed
that the Fleet Corporation make
a loan of $4,000 and take mort
cages on the steamships MIMI
apolis. st. Paul. and Binghamton.
Mr.. Coonley said this was agreed to.
but that while the ship mortgages
were under investigation the finan-
cial situation at the Morses' AleXan-
dria, Va. shipbuilding plant became
very pressing" and an advance OF
S15O.0O0 was made, a second mort
gage on the plant being accepted.
On February II another advance
of 100000 was made to the Viz
ginia plant and S1oO,0OO to the
Groton. Conn. plant. Mr.. Coonley
declared these advances were made
with the understanding that mort
cages would be given on the three
ships but that these mortgages could
not be obtained and in March. 1919,
further advances were stopped.
On cross examination Mr.. Coonley
said he did not know that the steam
ers in question had been sold to
Canadian firms. He did know. how
ever. that on Januarp II applica-
tions had been made for the trans
fer of the ST. Paul and Binghamton
to Canadian registry.
Such transfer was authorized by
the shipping Board in a resolution
which stipulated that the proceeds
OF the sale were to be used to pay
the debts OF the Virginia Corpora
ton.
