loDeR,s PACKED COMMITTEE

1t is fresh in mind that when
IL was Democratic president
who was being hampered and be-
deviled by it, Lodges packed
senatorial committee on foreign
relations was regarded by many
of the Republican politician as
one of the greatest inventions
extant. AT a time when there
was a call for world cooperation,
the Lodge committee showed a
majority of bitter-enders against
such association. These out
standing irreconcilables - John
son, Moses, Brandegee. Borah
and others-still are on the com
inittee.
Just now the committee pack
ed with bitter-enders does not
seem so good thing to GER
tain Republicans. A Republican
president is proposing a foreign
policy calling for cooperation BY
the United States in internation-
al affairs. But the first body to
pass on his World Court propo-
sition will be Lodges packed
committee of bitter-enders for
Isolation. Will its majority mis-
represent this proposal of a Re-
publican president as it did the
work OF the Democratic execu-
tive? a 81 Ell \
However. with the great ma
5ority of the senate. Democrats
and Republicans alike, favorable
10 joining the Permanent Court
Of international Justice, some
way ought to be found to keep
Lodges little band of bitter-end-
ets from further domineering. A
body composed of 90 members
should not permit itself to be
held UP or its expansion garbled
or tinctured with petty faction
alism by few members. 1t is
a good time for the sentiment of
the whole country to be turned
foreibly against the destructive
ness of Lodges packed commit
tee.

Financial writers have been
remarking recently upon the dis

crowd the securities market with

public" is in a panic when prices
are up and in panic to sell
when prices are down. Many
suggested that the hesitancy OF
the average amateur investor TO
participate in the present mar

market wisdom. But even while

Washington is to be represented
in eastern baseball this season
with a strong colored team. Local
business men have induced Ben
Taylor, formerly Of the Indianapolis
A. B. C.'s to come to Washington
and organize and manage a club
here.
The new club will be known as
THE Washington Potomacs" and
will be associated with the newly
organized Eastern League, which
will be composed of Baltimore.
Philadelphia, Atlantic City and
Brooklyn and New York city.
The Potomacs will use the Am
erican League park as their home
grounds. playing here while the
Griffmen are on the road.

Dubious Over Injured

NEW YORK. April 14.-The ques-
ton OF whether Everett Scott would
be able to play in the opening game
of the season next Wednesday at
the New York stadium remained In
doubt today, when the New York
Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers ar
rived here for their scheduled game
at Ebbetts Field, Brooklyn, this aft
ernoon.
Scott, who injured his ankle at
Springfield, Mo-, several days ago,
has played in 9S6 consecutive games,
and is anxious to preserve his rec
ord until 1t reaches the 1,000-game
mark.
He declares he will surely be in
the lineup Wednesday, but Miller
Higgins is inclined to veto the plan.

Maybe I will. Maybe 1 won't. But
I'll promise you one thing. I'll be

my confidence Is the bunk. Take
my word for it.

But my friends worried theE as
they are worrying now, and it turn.

and have come out Of them. What
happened on the way North wasn't
even a slump. 1t was simply q
training trip. It got a lot OF bad
swinging out Of my system.
In batting practice I hit 'en as
far and as often as I ever did, but
in the game, against some mighty
good curve ball pitching, I didn't
do so well.
AS a matter Of fact, I did ter
rible. I admit 1t. I'm glad Of 1t,
I want to be frank.
Therefore, tell you I'm in bet

faithful followers Of the Washing.
ton club to read. 1t follows:

Dear "Skillet:"
while I reside in Detroit, and
have for several years, I spent
many years in Washington and was
a chronic attendant at the ball
park even as far back as the days
when Gilmore and Mack were
battery here, when Hank O'Day
was one Of the pitchers and Sam
Wise roamed about the infield: in
lthe days when Larkin was on first
and Bill Joyce on third, I managed
to see my share of the games. I
was present when the long string
of the White Sox ended and saw
Walter Johnson pitch his first
game. And so on down the line
up to the latter few years. My
work has brought me to Washing
ton frequently, and I have seen
many Of the games during those
visits. 1t happens that l spent the
most of the past summer here and
saw a number of them.
II refer to these mainly to bring
out one Of the things that has
been practically the one constant
Objectionable feature in connection
with the games in Washington, pos
sibly one or two years excepted.
And this thing that has remained
as the one constant feature prac.
tically throughout has been that of
knocking"
Two years ago, our Detroit pa.
pers carried the comments of one
Of the games played here between
Washington and Detroit-ft was
the game that Walter was take,
out Of the box, probably the first
time that he heard that cry Of tho
knocker, take him out" The cor.
respondents referred to 1t and
spoke OF the characteristics Of the
fans who had seemingly forgotten
the many years of service OF one
Of the kings of pitchers.
Last summer I got into sew
eral HquabbleS on account Of the
practice. Many of the ones guilty
Of the practice are young men
who could not possibly make any
Roadway in the game in ''"'"N
they were Oriticlsing the players
and OF Grfff because he u. no.
get new ones. No player can do
his best work under conditions
such as this.
There are times when knock
ing is justified, but this is se!dorn
true on the ball field. It is pos
sible that chronic knocking pro-
duces the listlessness of players,
and for this reason the complaint
that these folk make is oftentimes
the result of their own activities.
If they are not satisfied, why not
remain away and let the boys have
the incentive of the help Of those
friendly with the efforts of the

case-if they are not satisfied let

Clark Griffith thought out his
training plans before his players
ever reported. Once in uniform
they. worked on a regular schedule.
From day to day certain things had
IN be done toward the general end
that the team would be in good
nhysical condition and would also
know how to play Grifnth's style
Of ball.
DOME Bush spent some time be-
tween his acceptance Of the man
agement and the day Of departure
for Tampa in getting certain plans
Of his in shape. The result was
that once the players climbed into
their uniforms and appeared on
plant Field, they started out on
course that has suited Manager
Bush from the beginning and has
progressed right UP to today.
Without caring to disparage the
managers just ahead of Bush. It
must be said for truths sake that
the 1928 Griffmen have worked bet
ter than any squad since those

vile. Most of the credit goes to

more than ordinary interest.
