A. o. Green, Who Discover.

Letters By Hundreds

ADA, Okla, March 26.-lP)-The
man who discovered" the heavy
hitting Waner brothers, Paul and
Lloyd, wants the world to know he
is not in the business of compound
ing poison for big league baseball
pitchers.
A. o. Green's mail has been flood
ed with appealing letters from am
bilious players since he coached the
Waners and sent them to fame with
the Pittsburgh Pirates. A baseball
craze has been created in Ada by
the success of this rotund, jovial
pharmacist in sending sandlot play
ers to professional clubs.
Yet Green ignores pleas from
would-be Ruths and Hornsbys. who
write asking a chance to play under
his direction.
Il never answer any of them he
said. I'VE can't use the boys be-
cause baseball here simply Is q

From Ada's six-team sandlot

his Ada Independents. 1t was from
an assortment OF home town per-
formers that Green singled out the
Waners IS big league material. A
dozen or more of his proteges now
are scattered throughout the coun-
try with major and minor league
teams.
Homer Blankenship went from
Ada's team to the Southern asso-
citation and the Texas league be-
fore he was traded to the Pitts
burgh Pirates. Green coached Earl
Williams, an outfielder, before he
was bought by the Pirates and later
sent to the Texas league.
Guy Williams, a Southpaw, left
Green's tutelage to play in success
sion with Pacific coast teams, Fort
Worth in the Texas league and
Minneapolis in the American asso-
citation.

At Paris in 1924, several agile
youths of Gallo blood figured con-
spicuously, although not with ulti-
mate success, in the Olympic tennis
tournament. A Partisan friend said
to me:
Watch these fellows. They may
not look so very good now. They
have, a tendency to fold up in a
five-set match. But all they need is
experience and more confidence.
They will win the Davis Cup before
many years have elapsed"
Their names were LacoSte, Cochet
and Morotra. Most anyone can tell
you what they have done in the ten
mic world. The titles they haven't
won are not worth holdface type.
Of Germany, about the same time,
It was also said.
Watch the development OF eth-
ietlcs there within the next few
wears. You will hear from them in
the next Olympics and in other
branches of competition. They have
the material, the method and the
urge"
Germany not only cut a big fig
ure in her return to Olympic COM
petition at Amsterdam. but has pro-
duced a number of worlds record
breakers and an outstanding candi-
date for the heavyweight champion

The prophetic features OF this
story. however. are not so vital in
cataloging the progress of sports as
that they are notable factors IN the
growing challenge to American ath-
letic supremacy.

Less Than 10 Per Cent of
Married Men interviewed
Live on Government Pay.
NONE OF GROUP LIVE
IN NATIONAL CAPITAL
Investigation Was Limited to Men
Earning $4,000 or Less With
Dependents.

OF sos married men employed by the
Government and recently questioned by
investigators of the United States Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, less than 10
per cent of them support their families
without other sources of income.
None Live in Washington.
This fact was revealed in a survey
made at the request Of the Personnel
Redistribution Board. The result of
the survey was made public in the AL
guest number of the Labor Review.
The investigation was limited to men
earning $4,000 or less and having a
wife and at least one other dependent.
Another report contained in the same
publication indicated that the Govern
ment pays better average wage to its
employees under the $4,000 grade than
does private enterprise.
Wives Contribute Earnings.
The married men who were inter-
viewed for the purpose of the survey live
in New York, Boston, Baltimore, Chi
Cago and New Orleans. Many OF those
who found their salaries insufficient for
their needs, the report showed, had an
other income either earned by them
selves in spare hours or by their wives
or children. From 40 to SO per cent.
however, were found to have expenses
greater than their total incomes and
consequently were being pushed further
and further into debt daily, with little
hope of ever becoming solvent.
From Is to 80 per cent OF the wives
of these Government employees work
outside their homes and earn enough
to help their husbands stay out of debt.
This Is particularly true, the statistics
show, in Chicago, where income from
other sources amounts to 81 per cent OF
the total revenue. In New Orleans the
Federal salary is 70 per cent OF the to-
tai family income.
Many Children Working.
OF the cases studied, the men had
outside employment in from Is to 33
per cent of the cases. and the children
IN many of the families were working.
The survey revealed that in many
instances relatives contributed money
and clothing to the support of the
family. which often was found to be
living in cramped quarters in undesir-
able portions of the city, because OF
lower rents or in order to save car
fare.
The investigators reported that dental
and medical care were lacking where
badly needed and that the necessities
of life were used sparingly.
