After taking a mean blow on the
mouth from a bounding ball in fielding
practice at Plant City, Ossie Bluege was
kept out of the Indianapolis game and
Mike McNally sent to third base. But
Ossie will be back in the lineup for the
encounter with the Giants.
DOME Bush found a lot of big pitch
ers to send against the Nationals, all
six-footers. Carman Hill, who started
the fray. is one of the few league hurl-
ers who wears spectacles. Hippo
Thompson, southpaw, who finished the
game, weighs only 225 pounds.
Had Second Baseman Sicking been
wide awake in the seventh the Nationals
probably would not have Tailed in that
round. With Matthews on first, Nc
Nicely attempted to sacrifice, but pop
bunted. First Basesnan Schmandt
muffed the ball, but managed to get it
in time to toss it to Sticking who covered
first, just ahead of McNeely's arrival at
the bag. Matty had stepped off the base,
but jumped back almost Immediately,
fearing fly catch. Sticking touched both
Nationals and the umpire waved his
hand for an out. Both Nationals stepped
off the sack, but Matty suddenly realized
that McNeely was the only one retired
in the play and hoped back to safety
with Sticking holding the ball, calmly
looking on.
Because two Indianapolis players
with first names of Walter were on
the bases at the same time in the
eighth inning, the Nationals were
able to complete an odd double play.

1t is a hard task for any young PLAYER
to get into an outfeld where three men
are running well already. Most kids
get tired trying to do II and perhaps
Lamar wearied Of the task
Lamar found himself with the Toledo
American Association club in the course
of time and Suddenly he began 10 hit
He could always hit some, but be
started in Toledo as if he meant to hit
until his legs gave way. That is A
good sign that ball player has come
into his own.
So Connie Mack took Lamar after
watching him awhile last season and
he finished the 1924 campaign. with the
Athletics, still smashing the ball with
power and regularity. Mack thinks he
got him just at the stage when players
make good. All the previous years Of
his attempts, in his opinion, we're his
lessons in experience and now he is
ready to deliver.
Has OutfieId With Punch
Collectively, Connie says his outfield-
ers Will hit long way over 800. They
VIII have to do so in order to dent the
American League seriously
Connie Mack has had a lot Of fuss
about his fields" in one way or an
other After he had torn up that
H..
Boston Braves had rubbed them in the
dirt in the world series of the previous
year, he set about the task Of building
new one, confident in his ability to do
so. He has been handling the troweI
and spreading the mortar for a long
time now and while it is possible that
he has not yet built such an infield as
he once had, he says he has one more
to hts liking.
Third base has always been a vital
problem with the Athletics since they
lost Baker, and the substitution Of
Dykes introduces a new element into
the campaign, because Dykes is that
kind Of player who is likely to re-
| spond with a tremendous show OF
skill if he takes 10 the job as he
has done in other places on the in
field. He is a natural infelder, and
he has the additional advantage Of
being able to play any position on
| the infeld as well as or better than
the average player.
Bishop Is Fit This Year.
Bishop, the second baseman, was
i'll a great deal of last season. This
season he is fit, and he is having the
time of his life in climate which
is assisting him to be better in every
way. That will mean so much to the
infield that ii is best not to compute
it until the combination has had a
fair chance TO run while.
AS for the other two members of
the infleld, the Athletics have in
Hauser a first baseman who can
hardly be surpassed. and in Gallo
way a shortstop who was considered
to be the best in the league in 1923.
There is no doubt that the team
as a whole has speed, plenty of II,
and Perkins behind the bat, good as
he is, will be put to it to keep up
with the other fellows who will be
eager to be pushed.

The problem Of overpopulation and
the necessity Of feeding the world.
when it becomes too crowded to sub
sist on present food resources. will be
involved in the investigation. The
agricultural and animal resources of
the seas greatly exceed those of the
land, not only because five-sevenths
of the earth's surface is covered with
water, but also because plant and ami.
NAL life in the ocean is maintained on
cubical farms, rather than on a single
surface like the land. The extent of
this great depository of food, fuel and
fertilizer staggers the imagination.
Every year nearly three billion

waters of the nited States and
Alaska, although we have hardly be-

many years the products of the land

ton and we will have to depend more
largely than now upon the products

Oceanographic Research.

Limitless possibilities OF results for
the benefit of science and humanity
are predicted in the survey of the
ocean depths which is being planned
by the photographic Bureau of the
Navy Department. Jules Verne's i'm
aginative exploration by the mythical
Capt. Memo will have its counter
part in reality when the United States
Navy puts into practice It's program
of scientific research. The U. S. S.
Rainbow has been selected to begin in
the near future a permanent research
which will be the most carefully plan
ned and the most far-reaching work
of the kind ever undertaken.
Lieut. Comdr. George Z. Brandt,
IT. s, NJ, has outlined the Nays plan
for oceanographic research at the bot
tom of the Gulf of Mexico and the
caribbean Sea before a gathering of
scientists in New York City. 1t is ar
ranged that he will command the first
of a series of undersea investigations
which are expected to result in i'm
portant disclosures of plant and ami
NAL life in the ocean which may have
bearing upon agriculture ashore and
seafood production. 1t is predicted
that the study of the temperature of
the waters of the ocean will make

Prohibition Enforcement l.
Declared to Be a Failure.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Evening Star of May IA, in
your editorial on Further Law En-
forcement, you say, IF the law
based on the amendment has not the
support of the people of the country,
test can be made at the ballot box. t"
When and how? Neither of the two
great political parties have ever had
anything to do with prohibition and
the fact that they are still side
stepping the issue merely proves that
they are trying to avoid a dangerous
question. The American people have
never yet had a chance to vote on
prohibition and since the passage of
the eighteenth amendment through
State Legislatures the organiza tons in
control of prohibition have fought
tooth and nail against allowing the
people to express themselves through
referendums.
AS to the present blockade of the
bootleggers off the coast, most people
feel that this is merely q gesture to
encourage further appropriations
from Congress. The effect of all this
expenditure of millions Of dollars of
the taxpayers money is at best only
temporary and is almost negligible
The American people have always
been accustomed to drink liquor and
fleet of rum chasers on one small
spot of our vast coast lines with the
idea of stopping liquor importations
is about as chimercial as to attempt
to sweep back with a broom the in
coming tides of the Atlantic.
Some time ago one of the officers of
the Association Against the Prohibi-
ton Amendment, in conversation with
the director of a syndicate of Western
| newspapers, commented on the fact
that none of his papers published
anything but articles favorable TO
prohibition. But just recently this
same party admitted that 1.-The
country was on the verge of anarchy
as a result of prohibition and that
they had decided on a complete
, change of policy.
Is it not time to recognize the COM
plete failure of prohibition? Would
we not do well TO follow the example
of our enterprising neighbors of the
North, the Canadians, who. after
years of trial, have virtually given
up prohibition and who, by means of
government controlled sale of liquor
have greater prosperity than We,
lower taxes. less crime, less drunken
ness, and, withal, greater liberty?

legislative Errors.

An instance of the need of a legis-
lative drafting committee or expert
bureau to prevent errors and con-
fusions in the text of enactments of
Congress is afforded in the case of a
provision in the naval omnibus bill
passed in the closing hours of the last
session. 1t was the intention of the
trainers of the measure that officers
in the Marine Corps of the rank of
colonel, whose names are not borne
on the eligible list for promotion may
be retired at a compensation equal to
212 per cent of the pay received for
each year of active service, up to q
maximum of rs per cent of the highest
pay. BY some freak of language the
law reads that such officers may be
retired at only ~ per cent of the
active duty pay.
OF course. such a provision IS plain
ly slip of the pen. The Controller
General may correct it by ruling
which considers the obvious intent
of Congress. this ruling serving to
bridge over the period that must
elapse before a correcting enactment
can be had. The real importance of
the matter lies in the fact that such
errors can creep into the laws.
Despite all the care that can be
exercised mistakes will happen in the
drafting of bills, at the short session
especially. A large percentage of the
measures enacted by Congress at such
a session are framed and materially
amended in the last few days. A ire
mendous rush occurs. Everybody is
busy, committee clerks, secretaries
and legislative experts. Bills are going
in to conference and coming from
them in rapid succession. Conference
reports are being adopted hurriedly
in the two houses.
The confusion that prevails at the
close of the short session is one of
the reasons advanced for a change
of the calendar and the elimination
Of this time-limit session. There is.
of course, some confusion at the end
VI every scoSioii, ioil5 oiio oiioll, Jul
the short session is conspicuously and
dangerously congested.
The most skiIlful scrutiny of every
line and word of every legislative
draft is essential to prevent errors
that may cost the Government enor-
nous sums or impose injustice upon
individuals. Until Congress changes
it's calendar to relieve the last-minute
jam and adopts a method of technical
bill drafting that is capable of check
ing these mistakes Federal legislation
will continue to be marked by blum
derS.

British Liberal Troubles.

Inasmuch as the British Liberal
party Is at present a small factor in
the parliamentary situation 1t may
not make much difference that the
wife of the titular leader of the or
ganizauon In the upper house, Lord
Oxford. formerly Herbert Asquith
has had to apologize publicly to David
Lloyd George, the leader of the party
in the House OF Commons. for some
unkind things said about him in one
of her books. But political parties do
not subsist upon merely present con-
ditions. They live upon hopes of
future achievements, and it is un-
deniably a shock to British Liberal
sensibilities to find that the wife of
one party leader entertains or has
entertained such derogatory opinions
of the other party leader The fact
that Lady Oxford has publicly apoI-
ogized and explained that the offend
ing matter was included in the vol
ume by inadvertence does not alter
the fact or lessen the shock. Nat
urally Lord Oxford cannot take part
In the discussion. His role is that OF
silent observer. But it would make
mighty interesting reading" to have
his views set forth in print. The in
cldent or the apology may revive
memories of the 'serpents tongue
which Il few years ago set British
circles agog and which cost "a GER
