Finds Coolidge Is Firm
Friend of u. S. Clerks
In Classification Plan

That President Coolidge IL well
posted in regard to reclassificatio
of Federal and District employees,
and that he will prove a firm
friend Of the Government clerk. is
the opinion held by Luther c.
Steward, president of the National
Federation of Federal Employees,
who called upon the Chief Exec.
utiVe today.
The President has sought further
to familiarize himself with the pres
ent status of reclassification by
several interviews during his first
active week in office. He has dis
cussed matters pertinent to this
great work with Gen. Herbert M.
Lord, Director of the Budget; Sena-
tor Smoot, of Utah, vice chairman
of the Joint Committee on Reor-
ganization of the Administrative
Branch of - Government. and
Herbert D. Brown. chief of the
United States Bureau of Efficiency.
BY means Of his audience with
Mr.. Steward he has, as it were,
viewed the case of the clerk and
the department employing him from
all requisite angles. His thorough
ness of administration is empha'

Impressed by Coolidge.
Steward told the President Just
what his association is seeking IN
the way of legislation, and described
himself as impressed by Mr.. Cool
idge's grasp Of the subject. He is
reported as not inclined to commit
himself to any definite policy al
this time, but will proceed slowly.
at least until the Federal Personnel
Classification Board has finished
assembling and tabulating all data
relative to reclassification from the
Federal and District Governments
and made a report.
Tn anv event, Mr.. Stewart feeis
sure, Mr.. Coolidge's attitude VIII
be a sympathetic one, ana ne VIII

BASE BALL.

When the Cascade County league closed the season, it wa
with a sigh of relief that the directors of the Belt club found they
had come through the summer with all bills paid and a certain
amount of equipment on hand for another season. And yet eacf
and everyone announced that he was through with baseball FOR
ever and that under no circumstances could he be induced to take
upon himself any active part in the operation of another bal
team
The lay member of the organization was doubtful of the ad-
visibility of trying it again while the calamity bowler could hard
E believe his eyes when the books were balanced without a red
ink entry.
Ye editor admits his own surprise and extreme qualification
at the showing made.
But all that is past. The present holds only basketball to fur
nish us amusement with rumors of baseball leagues and wonderful
players still unattached, all of which leads to the query as to what
earthly use is baseball anyway.
Baseball has its place in the course of human events just as
surely as the sun do shine. In the small town where there is a
dearth of subjects for conversation, it supplies the longfelt want
1t gives the locals one tie which has the tendency to bind the COM
munity together with a common interest. 1t furnishes relaxation
or a vent for surplus energy as the mood hits one. 1t creates a
spirit of emulation in the small boy and in the wake of the league
club spring up like weeds dozens of youthful teams which are the
means of much healthful exercise during the ummer months and
from these sand lots come the players and the fans of tomorrow.
During the fall that feeling of disinterestedness begins to les
sen. By Dec. LIST it has been replaced by one of curiosity as to
whether the possessor win have any JOY out of reading big league
baseball scores. BY Jan. LIST the disgruntled one has begun to
wobble and by March LIST he is ready to. make some sacrifices to
have baseball a little closer home.
We shall have to have a team next year. If we wait and go
through all the stages of development from the phase where the
fan wraps himself into his cocoon for the winters sleep to where
a new fan spreads his wings. which is the natural evolution of the
baseball enthusiast, we shall be late in financing the enterprise.
We shall have a team. There is no question about it. Then
why not begin at once to provide the sinews of war. 1t costs
money to run a ball team, to which may be added that this money
is kept In constant circulation. We have no single industries who
may be expected to finance a team. That must come from the
community as a whole although we can bank on the whole-hearted
support OF our largest concerns in putting this across.
1t has been proposed to hold each month until the season
opens, a community entertainment or dance and to allow money
thus raised to accumulate until it is needed. This will enable the
club to start the season right and will give the directors something
to work with.
A baseball meeting will be called in the near future when
these problems will be discussed.
