were. today presented to Gen.
Frank T. Hines, director, and the
assistant directors OF the Veterans
Bureau, by Gen. Lloyd M. Brett,
national commander-in-chief Of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The peoples are the product OF
disabled veterans working In a spe-
cially equipped Pittsburgh factory.
Accompanying General Brett in his
visit to the Bureau were Gen. An.
ton Stephan, national senior com.
mander-in-chief w.. F.. w, Capt. Ny
ron D.. Smith, commander Of the
Equality Walter Reed Post, and
Capt. E. s. Bethlehem, chief of

Work Is Needful.
The peoples called Buddy Pop
Pies were made by beneficiaries of
the Bureau, veterans who have been
found unable to learn any vocation
taught in the Government hospi-
tails, and at the same time recipi-
ent of compensation which could
not support them.
The plan whereby these mon.
feaSibles," $4,000 in number, can
be aided in their unhappy plight
was backed by Mrs. Mary B. Moran,
Of Pittsburgh, and put into opera
ton through the generosity of E,
]. McCallum; Pittsburgh manufac-
tufer, who supplied the plant and
equipment for the employment Of
these veterans in the production of
peoples.
Few Employed Now.
At present, about forty or fifty
men are employed in this plant in
Pittsburgh, but similar establish
ments will be started in other cities
and the one in Pittsburgh enlarged
to take care of much larger per.
centage of the ''nonfeasibles.
The first opportunity for the
production Of these peoples was
made possible by an order of the
Veterans of the Foreign Wars, by
an order Of 3,0OO,OO of these pop.
pies to be used on Poppy Day. The
first one made was presented to
President Coolidge last week.
Public demand for these peoples
made by the "non-feasibles" is ex.
pected to be large enough to support
the workers. It Is expected that
in this way trying problem Of
what to do with and for these men
will be to some degree solved.

who, while playing in a golf
match for substantial stakes,
was none too pleased when, at
one hole, he was kept waiting
for q few minutes by a woman
who sauntered carelessly down
the fairway with baby in
her arms.
After waiting impatiently for
her to cross, the army golfer
called out testify, "Come along,

Wingfield. HE has something on

The batters, handicapped by the
wind and the gray walls ana fences

troubles with him 30 long as he
toiled on the rubber. ~
Specie, the submarine shooter
from Omaha, had a good day on
the hill. He showed plenty Of

curve, delivering the ball from
around his knees. Now and then,
| as though to take rest. he comes
up with a straight overland 1e.
livery. This latter is not especially
puzzling, however. 1t is his under
hand ball which may land him in
the American League.
Fred Marberry, still working off
extra weight, got a stiff drill before
facing batters, then spent fifteen
minutes on the rubber. He was a
tired lad when his days work was
over.

son. This allows that Johnson, Mo-
gridge, Zachary and Zahniser are
already chosen. AS Manager Harris
announces that he intends to carry
nine pitchers just one place is open.
Who will get that remains to be
seen.
However, few regular berths are
known in March. Walter johnson
looks ready right now. Zahniser
and Mogridge developed q lot of
Uwift in their first drill. Zachary
took things easy in his accustomed
style, but no candidate will be
treating himself fairly If he loses
heart because these eight pitchers
are assumed to have cinched jobs.
Nobody has cinched anything, even
though certain lads have been more
impressive to date than others.
Pitching to batters in practice
is hard, grinding work. But it
wins no ball games. The pitchers
who stick with the club viii be
those who can win. league games,
and the first one doesn't come un.
til April Is. The short exhibit
ton series will provide more test
than anything the pitchers have
yet done.
Doc Prothro was used at third
base in the fielding drill Of the
regulars. He will start the season
there, unless he proves a flash in
the pan. He is in good physical
condition and need but to show his
value in fielding and batting way.
He took his time yesterday and
never once threw hard across the
diamond.
1t is noticeable that quite the
most peppery individual in the
squad is one lad who is assured Of
his Job. He is Bennett Tate, the
kid catcher from Memphis. He is
up and awake every minute, never
shirks his work, Is always volun-
teering for more. He looks to have
a good throwing arm and take a
ball easily and gracefully behind
the plate. His hitting is yet to be
seen.
