SOME INSIDE DOPE

No doubt Dean has been a bitter
disappointment to McGraw. He
starred with Louisville, the same
year Earl Combs, now the Yankees,
was the big noise in the outfield.
1t is said the Yankees and the
Giants were the chief bidders for
the two stars. Their spirited efforts
to land the players caused the prices
to soar.
I have it that the two clubs at a
conference threshed out the matter,
the Yanks needing outfielders worse
than pitchers dropped out of the
bidding for Dean, while the Giants
did the same on Combs.
At the time I talked with num-
her of players from the American
association and they all though the
Giants got the best bet in the league.
1t now looks as if the Yankees got
the prize

McGRAw SELDOM ERRs

While Jimmy Ring has never had
what could be called a big year in
the majors, I have always regarded
him as a cording fine pitcher.
1t is a rather interesting fact that
only twice during his career has he
finished better than the 500 mark.
In 1920 with Cincinnati he won one
more game than he lost, while three
years later with the Phillies, his
wins topped his losses by two games.
Jack Bentley, on the other hand,
during his three years in the majors
has always been well above the 500
mark. In his first year he won 13
and lost 8, in his second he captured
16 victories against five defeats,
while last season his mark was IL
games won and only 4 lost.
However, Bentley is the type
pitcher who is most effective against
clubs with certain batting style.
Jack wasn't dropped in at random,
rather the spots were picked for
him.
To illustrate the breaks it is pos
sibIe for a pitcher to geta Bentley
who allowed better than five earned
runs per game last year won IL and
lost a, while Luque, who ranked first
in effectiveness, could win bu tic
while he dropped 1S.

McGRAW KNEW WHAT HE WAS
DOING WHEN HE TRADED TWO
FClR JIMMY RING.
ON the surface it may appear as
if Manager John MclGrRw of the
Giants got the worst of his recent
trade with the Phillies, still I am
willing to string along with his
judgment.
In sending Jack Bentley and Way
land Dean to Philadelphia for Jim
my Ring, McGraw parted with two
players who cost him in the neigh
borhood of $125,OOO.
Without going into details it would
seem that McGraw paid IA pretty
penny for the veteran Ring who has
already seen service with four major
league clubs.
McGraw doesn't jump at conclu-
sions. You can wager he carefully
considered the proposition from
every angle before he went through
with it.
1 venture to say that McGraw
would be frank enough to admit that
Dean and Bentley will be far more
valuable to the Phillies than Ring.
On the other hand, he figures Ring
will be a greater asset to him than
the two players with whom he
parted.

The House expects to vote today Oh

and is the first agricultural measure
to be taken up in this session Of Con

1t was called up under privileged

to two hours, and the discussion was
completed before adjournment.
While there was little opposition TO
the bill, a number Of Democratic
members took occasion to criticize
the Administrations attitude toward
farm relief, but Representative Sum

these to announce he would vote
against the measure. Crumpling

TASK RETALIATION
( OF GAS COMPANIES
Utilities Body Seeks Funds
for Work in Special
Appropriation.

The Public Utilities Commission Is
planning to ask Congress for a spe-
cial appropriation of $4,000 in order
to make an expert revaluation of the
property of the Washington Gas
Light Co. and its subsidiary, the
Georgetown Gas Light Co., it was re-
liably reported today at the District
Building.
The two companies last week sub
mitted to the commission the results
Of a recent inventory of their prop
erty and requested that a fair valua-
ton be fixed. The inventory, 1t was
estimated by utilities experts. cost the
companies approximately $4,000.
The commission has not yet advised
the companies officially that it will
make a revaluation. but the fact that
1t is contemplating asking Congress
for a special appropriation for this
purpose is taken to be clearly indica-
tive of its attitude. Virtually all OF
the $4,000, it was said, would be used
for the services Of two valuation ex
perts.
The last valuation on the property
of the two companies was set by the
commission III October, 1925, at ap
proximately $4,000, 900. Compared
with d previous reyaluation in 1914
this represents an increase of about
Sc, 10000
The utilities officials foresee in the
request for a revaluation another
struggle for increased gas rates based
} on a valuation higher than the SIG,
000, 900. While the commissions ex
perts believe that an increased valua
! ton might be fair If based on present
day values, they are confident the
| figures of the companies, while not
! disclosed, are considerably in excess
Of any the commission might fix.

CHAP[A|NS RESENT
ATTACKS ON CORPS
Declare They Are Not Mill
tarists, But Doubt Wisdom
of Pacifist Agitation.

Ourspoken resentment over the
spreading sentiment for the demiH-
tarization of the Army chaplains was
expressed at a luncheon of the Chap
lains' Association Of the Army Of the
United States at the Army and Navy
Club yesterday.
The position Of the society on this
matter was clearly expressed In a
resolution which was unanimously
adopted by the members.
I'VE do not believe that war is a
permanent or civilized method Of solv-
ing difficulties between nations, the
report stated 1T is state Of an
archy. However, ours is not dream
world Can any one say that the
last war has been fought or that
America will never again become In
volved in war?
Remains as Reality.
The resort to arms still remains
the final arbitrament of international
dispute, however much we may de-
plore the fact or wish II otherwise.
We are not nilitarists, but at the
same time we doubt the wisdom OF
pacifist agitation. No nation or peo-
ple can long endure unless Its man
hood is willing and prepared 10 oe
fend 1t. We therefore believe in and
shall strive for a policy ard program
of adequate national defense.
The men in the Army are sub
ject to the same If not greater temp.
tations than the civilian and we hold
that the chaplain is a vital adjunct
to an adequate system Of defense: In
time of peace the chaplain is minis
ter to his men in the highest sense
of the word. He lives with them
and shares their problems and be-
comes their confidant and friend.
VIII Continue to Serve.
IF there be any inherent incon-
sistency in this work, let them who
charge it make the most Of it. We
who are enlisted in the Chaplain
Corps are prepared as citizens, as
patriots, as God-fearing men, to con-
tinue in this capacity to serve our
country, it's sailors and its soldiers
The report of the memorial com
mittee indicated that a memorial tab
let and Il site in Arlington Cemetery
have been selected and the commit
tee was authorized to go ahead with
