HERE'S WHAT RIVAL MANAGERS OF
 THE BIG LEAGUES HAVE TO OFFER GIANTS HOPE TO TANKS BEST BET
 LEAD NATIONALS IN THE AMERICAN

Miller IIuggins, New York Yankees Granting some of my veterans are slipping a bit, the team is still good enough 10 win its fourth consecutive pennant. My club is certain to get good pitching daily.
 Ty Cobb, Detroit Tygers-Pitching is my chief worry in the coming race. If my staff comes through as it should tke Tygers will bother the Yanks more than last year. The Tygers win make trouble. 1, Iris Speaker. Cleveland Indians-I am not predicting any pennants, but ci onc thing l am certain, I have a stronger team this year than last. Burns will give my club an added punch.
 ~stanley Harris, Washington--I have my mind set on landing my club fin tho first division. A club able to stick around the first division always has a chance 10 finish at the top.
 Frank Chance, Chicago White SoS --I an positive the White Sox will nuke better showing than last sea- sOI. ANn SNI uu tNdbVns why ny club should fail to finish well up in the first division.
 George Slsler, St. Louis Browns This managing job is all new to me and l prefer to let the showing of my club speak for itself. I hope to be able 10 play and help the Browns make a good showing.
 Connie Mack. Philadelphia Athle- tics---I am shooting at second place. New York should again win. If my minor league stars come through for me my ball club will be in the run- ming from start to finish.
 Leo Fohl, Boston Red Sox--I have only one prediction to make; the Red sox will not finish in last place. I am inclined to think my club is going to be tho dark horse of the American

BERNIE METERS JR. CHIP OF OLD BLOCK Son of Former Sprintng King
 Trying to Out-Run Dad
tBy Billy Eyans)

Years ago Bernie Wefers was the sprint sensation of the country. Today Bernie Wefers Jr., seeks to emulate the deeds of his dad.
 Blood will tell seems to be borne out in the wefcrs case. The speed strain of the had is in the son. Bernie, Jr. promises to become as great a figure in track atkletics-unless.
 The Olympic committee should sud denly decide that BernieWefers Jr. is no longer an amateur.
 
 This amateur status is so uncertain one cah never tell what is going to happen.
 Bernie wegers Jr.. aside from his ability to step the 100 in better than 10 seconds, and other distances in rec ord time, is bit of a ball player.
 Major league managers believe that baserunning is due for a revival this year. As a result all of them are try ing to speed up their team. Players fleet of foot are welcomed additions.
 Wefers, who lives in New York, lhOu6ll 1iC iidb o NbuliNc tO iiiu hS good in the big show. This opinion through kind friends was waited to Manager McGraw of the New York Giants.
 weters was invited to make the southern training trip and accepted.
 
 A few weeks at Sarasota, Fla, con- yinced McGraw, also Wefers, that he didn't have chance to make the big show and he drew ticket back to New York.
 Weters is figured as one of the best hopes of the United States in the Olympic dash events. Has his tryout with the Giants affected his amateur standing?
 No players, even the veterans stars, receive any pay for spring training work. Consequently there is no chance to make a pro" case against Wefers on the money angle.
 It will also probably be shown that he merely made the southern jaunt at his own expense, tn order to bring his talents 10 the attention of Man ager McGraw.
 It doesn't seem likely that a case can be made against Weters. How ever, it is practically certain that some of the foreign nations will not look on the situation in . favorable light.
 It will be difficult for them to con done tho fact that wcfers had a pro- tryout, and failing in same. returns to the Amateur ranks in track.

CHANCES OF HIGH ON .
 DIAMOND ARE GOOD
Red and Gold Candidates Hold
 Indoor Workout

The first practice of the season for the N. E. II. $. baseball team was held &t the Senior high school yesterday ,afterpoon. Twenty-Five candidates re- ported.
 The chances ofa successful season are exceedingly bright. Coach Cas- sic. will haze at his disposal squad
 of aiN lettermcn and several substi- !, tutes from last year as well as a number of good recruits who are go- l ing out for tho team for the first time. 1 The veterans consists of "tIal' Beagle, Clayton Gray. Errest Neipp, Joseph l kani1 and Henry Taylor. Johnnie" Grip will be out of the game with an l injured foot sustained insfootball, but 1 it is unlikely that he will stay away 1 from the game. He is an excellent i hitter, and may he used as a pinch hitter in some of the games, if he wants to come out for the team. It is expected that Neipp will again
 hold down the catching position, and that Beagle will .cayort around first , base. kania who held down second last year will have ''lot.s" opposition from the several candidates out for he position. Among the candidates out for the keystone sack arc Wat son, substitute from last year; Drcn- zek, who held down similar posi- ton with the Strongheart team of this city last summer and Clair for mer St, Mary's school second sacker.
 A short stop must be uncovered to take the place left vacant by the in- jury 10 Grip. The leading candidate for inc position is "Howie" Belser, flashy performer with the basketball team. If he shows half as much abil- fly on the ninc as he did on the bas- ketball team he will be star. Others out for tho position are Conlip, Pink erton and John Phalon. Those try ing out for the dizzy sack are Giana, who played on the football team last fall; llinchlilfe and Bndnick.
 Outficid Prospects Good
 There arc several good prospects for tho outfleld including the veteran | Taylor. who led tho team in fielding l last year and who stood up high l among the hitters. Those going out | for the garden patch are Taylor. Linn. Mckeon, Gierochowski. German, Me carthy, schectman, seully. Moran and Greco.
 Six Pitchers
 The squad is fixed unusually well in pitchers. There are two lefthanders and four righthanjers out for the team. The leading pitcher is the vet pran Gray who pitched the team last year 10 victories over all their rivals. | Ils only los. ono game. Jackie" Con in is another good man.

The Evening Star has the deepest
sympathy for the plight of the 900

the S24O bonus which these employees
have been receiving.
The Evening Star intends to do
all in its power to find a way, and

be an actual reduction in pay, with
the attendant hardship to these
thousands of faithful workers and
their families-and believes that it
will be successful.

of both House and Senate. and both

125,0OO MORE LOSE
RAISE IN FINAL JAM
Field Service Workers Reclassifed
TO Get Neither New Salaries
Nor Bonus.
MEASURE STILL UNSIGNED
President Cannot Act. as Bill
Lacks Legislators Signatures.

One of the strangest mistakes Of
the hectic closing hours of Congress
Saturday night rose up for the first
time today out of the clearing storm
like IA specter, bringing a $4,000. 900
loss to the field service of the gov
ernment, and depriving about 125,000
field service employees. many of them
in this city, not only Of their antici-
pated reclassification salary raise, but
also of the $50 monthly bonus
Both the Senate and the House had
passed the House resolution appro-
priating, sss,302. .7s7.S4 for reclassifi-
cation Of the field services. to bring
the salary scale UP to level with
h that TO be paid All workefs rs rs, ii, a,ta the
purposes, but the measure failed. 1t
was signed by neither the Speaker
of the House, the President of the
Senate, nor President Coolidge.
Bill Remains Unsigned.
In the last hours of the great rush
the bill was sent to the government
printing office to be printed, it was
learned today and returned too late
for the signatures. Officials both at
the Capitol and in the administra-
tive branches of the government
agreed the measure is absolutely dead
until the next session of Congress,
in December.
The failure OF the field reclassifi-
cation bill was an entirely separate
proposition from the failure of the
second deficiency bill which carried
salary increases for the police. fire.
men and teachers in the District
of Columbia and many other impor-
tant deficiency items like the soldiers
bonus. The second deficiency meas
ure died in the Senate in a filibuster.
The field reclassiflcation bill, H. R.
branches of Congress, and by some
mistake, denounced by officials every
where today as absolutely mex
cusable," 1t failed to become law.
A storm of indignation and protest
was rising on all sides throughout
Washington today among officials
whose field services were drastically
deprived of the approved appropria-
tions, among employees who suffer the
double disappointment, not only of
losing their anticipated substantial
reclassification increase, but of losing
the $40 mor' y bonus which has been
paid since var days.

This bungling mistake of some one
in an evidently minor position will
absolutely demoralize for several
months the entire personnel of my

one of the government departments
in charge of an extensive field serv-
ice.
Exactly what happened had not
been clearly revealed today, except
that the official copy arrived too late
to be signed by the proper officers of
the government. Who was to blame
had not been definitely determined
today, but it was understood q search
ing probe would be instituted into
the matter to find out just what took
place and where the delay was. Pres
ident Coolidge, it was understood,
