Cometh Mrs. Mary Veihmeyer
to whom we ascribed four sons
the other day, whereas, master,
They Are Seven," to voice her
1929 views on the Washington
ball club.
Here is a woman who knoweth
whereof she speaks. for she is
at the bali park every day the
team is home. Considering the
fact that opinion in Washing
ton seems to be pretty we'll
divided as to the relative merits
of players like Jack Hayes,
Buddy Myer, Joe Cronin and
Sam West, Mrs. Veihmeyer's
comments are timely and this
column will be glad to reflect
her feelings as well as those of
any other Washington fans, so
long as they will remain COM
posed about the matter and con-
fine their discussions to baseball
logic rather than flambuoyant
accusations which often do not
fit the facts.
Without engaging in any per-
sonal attacks, therefore, this
bureau is interested in dissect-
ing the present Washington ball
club for the purpose of learning
the fans viewpoint. Here is
what Mrs. Veihmeyer has to say
on the subject:
"Of course ] am sorry for its
poor showing in the percentage
column, but the team doesn't
look as bad in action as the
newspapers make it look. One
must go out there every day
to know this.
"The one thing which pays me
for my time and cash is the
privilege of watching Sam West
perform in the center field. It.
is deplorable that he is weak at
bat, but | cannot seem to care
il he never hits; he keeps down
the opposition runs as a counter
balance, and there are those on
the team who are expected to
do the hitting-let them do it.
"Goslin gets less razzing from
both fans and newspapers than
does West, and has been hitting
or fielding as he can. This sea-
son has proven him to be like
the bird who has to be made
sing when he won't.
"I'nl at every home game and
am ready to tell anyone that
the day is spoiled for me when
West is not in the game. He
just sparkles.
"Rice and Judge are as usual
reliable and Bluege breaks our
heart with his bad knee, but
Hayes and Cronin are mighty
nice looking rockies. / hope we
are going to keep them.
"As to Buddy Myer, he
doesn't sem to be able to get in
where he belongs. There is
much to be desired that is lack
ing in his infield playing.
"Marberry has been a delight
full surprise this year. He had
been so erratic the year before
and ] am glad to see him have
a good season. ! am sure he
is a fine fellow.
'The miserable failure of
Hadley and the poor showing
of Goslin, in my humble opinion,
have kept US out of the upper
division. do not believe that
the team needs entire rebuild
ing.I A couple of good pitchers,
one or two utility men who
could really come through as

TEST
NEW BALL
TO-DAY

An interesting feature OF
today's amateur-pro tourney
over the beautiful new AM
napolis Roads course viii be-
the use Of the new larger and
lighter ball by Walter Hall,
the home pro, and his partner
and George Barnett, of Chevy
Chase, and his partner.
Practically every one Of the local,
professionals has made the trip, but
/ the ajority of them plan using
the present ball. Since there usually
is strong breeze over the course
1t will be interesting to compare
the scores OF the players using the
new sphere to that Of the others.
Hall contends that the new ball
will be a aid to better golf be-
cause with its larger surface IT VIII
cary further with the wind behind
,, 1t. The theory has been advanced
that the wind would hold the ball
back. but Halls contention is that
the slight loss of distance lost when
hitting into the wind would more
than be equalized when hitting with
it. Besides this he believes that IL
allows cleaner hitting because of
its size, whether the lfs@ be cuppy
or not.

CITY STUDENTS
TO SEEK NEW
COLLEGE PRIZE
High School Seniors Urged
to Try for Northwestern
Scholarship.

Indianapolis high school students
Of high excellence in their studies
and personal qualities were urged
today, in a letter to city high school
principals, to make formal applica-
ton for one of the new Austin
scholarships for the training OF
business executives, available at
Northwestern university next year.
The Austin scholarship foundation
was created at Northwestern re-
Gently by F.. C. Austin. Chicago cap
italist, who gave the university over
So 100000 the income from which
is to be used exclusively for schol-
arshipS.
Ten students will be selected for
the year 1929-30, but when the full
income from the foundation be-
comes available larger number of
scholarships will be offered each
year.
Scholarships will be awarded
without reference to nationality,
religion or wealth, and applicants
will be examined in such qualiflca-
lions as scholarship, leadership,
character and health. Those will
be selected who have the greatest
potential capacity for proficiency in
business, this proficiency to be
measured in terms of public service
rather than in the accumulation of
private fortunes.
The university will grant to each
scholar the financial assistance
deemed most beneficial to him, the
amount varying from the cost Of
tuition to $1,000 year. 1t may be
in the form of a loan or a direct
grant. No scholar will be compelled
to abandon his desire for adequate
training because of lack of funds.
This training may necessitate
study and travel abroad and attend
ance at institutions other than
Northwestern.

MAKE BIRD HOUSES
Plan Used to Keep Students
Out of Streets.

The problem of keeping children
out of the streets during spring va
cation week was solved at School Is
by a suggestion to the students
that they make bird houses and
bring them to school when studies
were resumed.
Nature work at this school will
center around the school grounds.
The children will be made familiar
with a dozen different trees and
shrubs to be found there Later a
trip will be made to Garfield park
for further study.
Twice a day in the corridors Of the
school a caller stands with mega
phone and announces the attend
ance and hardness record for the
day. The room with the best stand
ing gets a plant to place in their
room and keeps it as long as their
record is highest.
