fRELININARY GAME 1. WON BY LOCAL TEAM

In the preliminary cage game staged at the S A. c. gym last night the Seward high school five down cd the Jesse Lee squad of the Wo- mans Home Missionary Society Methodist Episcopal church, Al to Is.
 The smashing first quarter rally staged by the champion Seward team was more than enough to over shadow the total points gathered by the Institutions fine appearing little ouintette during the rest of the game, tho the .. L. squad sever al times showed flashes of brilliant play that won the cheers of the spectators. Charles Long, Jesse Lee forward twice crossed the superior Seward guards and accurately shot field goals from deep center. Benny Benson's speed on the floor was a feature. but the popular young der signer of the flag of Alaska hadd III luck iii his many attempted baskets
 The heavy offensive work for Seward was carried thru by Guy and Ray Manthey, who were ably supported by Capt. Rosness and Shellhorn. The guard work of Charley Nelson and Otto and Edwin Sandbeck held down the Jesse Lee scoring.
 The whistles were handled by Clarence Meyers of Seward and Frarfcis Il. Groth supt. of the Jesse Lee high school
 In tonight's preliminary the Jesse Lee girls team will play the S A C-, Women's team. The game will start at o'clock.

satisfaction. He had control and he has base
ball Savvy.
YOU'RE my relief pitcher" Higgins told him
and he was thereby given the job as the Yanks'
chief undertaken. And how he filled the job!
He worked in so games during the 1927 season
and he was credited with winning 10 games and
charged with the loss of only seven.
His sinker had the whole league fooled. The
batterS couldn't smack it out of the infield.
They all hit the ball on the top and it bounded
down on the turf. Not many winning runs
are scored when a ball is dumped down near
the hands of a good infield.
Toward the close of the season when Moore
was being heralded all over the circuit as the
winner of the pennant for the YANKEES, the big
farmer went bashfully into the Office of Mr..
Barrow and asked for a raise.
Don't you think I could get $500 more on
my contract? I'm only gettin' 81, 500, you
know" he said to the business manager.
Il think you are worth a little raise. Bring
In your contract tomorrow and we'll fix it up"
Barrow told him.
Moore brought his contract in a few days
later and Barrow tore it up and tossed it into
the waste paper basket. He handed him a new
one and it called for IS 1000. The pitcher nearly
passed out from surprise.
Moore. also collected another $500 on a bet
with the Babe.
Moore was, by his own admission, a hick when
he reported to the Yankees and the older players
jockeyed him about his awk ward style at the
bat.

WncEY MOORE has picked up some philos-
ophy from his experience on the under
takers bench.
TITS the change in the game and the differ
ence in the ball and we have to keep up with
the times" he said.
Il amt s~quawking because I've been a relief
pitcher. That's what I was hired for. Some
times you get discouraged, though. I've been
in the game for IA years and I've pitched
around 80 regular games a year and 800 a year
in the bull pen. The up and DOWN from the
bench is heavy exercise in ITSELF"
The magnificent relief work of "Firpo' Mar
berry was one of the big factors in the victories
of Washington in the 1924 and 1925 pennant
races.
A big, strong fellow with a great fast ball,
Marberry was thrown in so ball games in 1924
and SIS in 1925. He won II and lost IL in 1924,
and won 8 and lost 6 in 1925. But the figures
don't show his value. He saved many a game
that went to the credit of the starting pitcher
who was in distress when he was sent to the
rescue.
Bucky Harris had ageing pitchers in those
years and he figured if they could go seven
innings. "Firpo" could be sent in with q blazing
fast ball and that "Firpo' was strong enough to

bear down on every pitch. His theory worked.
But "Firpo" hasn't been q success as a starving
pitcher.
Harris has changed his policy this yeax.
Perhaps because he has younger and sounoer
pitchers In Detroit than he had in washington.
Unlike most of the other managers, he doesn't
send q squad of undertakers to the bull pen
when the game is about to start. His theory
is that it destroys confidence in the man Pitch
ing vhen he sees balls flying back and forth
between two or three pitchers and a couple
OF catchers in the bull pen.
"I don't want to warm up o relief pitcher
until I am almost certain that the pitcher
working isn't going to be able to go through.
When I see . pitcher wabbling I sneak q relief
pitcher out to the bull PEN"
Some of the managers prepare so far In ada
vance that they send the whole pitching staff;
regulars and all, to the bull pen before game
time and make them warm up for exercise:
The Brooklyn ball club went to the extreme OF
erecting an awning over the bench In the bull
pen.

Especially when the undertaken has to work as
q regular pitcher. Too much work wears out

By Maryland Official
To the Editor OF The ST.

To the Editor of The star:
I have noted with eary great salts
faction the educational campaign con-
Quoted through The Washington Star
for the protection of dogwood, which Is
such conspicuous and beautiful Spring
flower Of the woodlands in this section
OF the country. I appreciate particu-
larry the publicity that has been given
to the Maryland law on the subject of
the protection of flowers, shrubs, trees,
etc., which is regarded as the most ad-
vanced legislation on this subject But
laws IN themselves will not correct abuse;
1t is only when public sentiment is en-
listed in support of these laws that eff
fective results are obtained. This you
have obtained to very marked degree
through the columns of The Star, and
you are to be congratulated upon the
splendid work that is being done.
In travelling over the highways on
Saturday afternoons and Sundays, when
so many people are driving along the
roads for pleasure, have noted with
much satisfaction that in the vicinity
OF washington there Is much less dis
turbance of the roadside flowers than
In other sections of the State, and this
feel sure Is due to the publicity work
that you inaugurated and have carried
on so effectively. I hope you will keep
up the good work. F. w. BESLEY,

Reports Say Fashions
Running Babies Feet
By =. e. TREE, Ph. b.

Two things are wrc-,g with the baby
shoes of America, says Or. John D.
Adams of Boston In a report to the
American Medical Association. One is
that "shoes are made to sell and not to
wear" The other Is that "the public
wants what it wants and not what it
needs" One result, DR.. Adams insists
is that average American feet fall short
of their duty in supporting the race,
as was evidenced by the high percent
age of fiat feet in men drafted during
the war The foot of n newborn baby,
DR. Adams states, has only small part
of the bony structure which it will have
later on in life. Most Of its bones are
represented by soft, flexible cartilage
Underneath the arch of this baby foot
nature provides q thick pad of fat to
support the child's weight before the
true bony arch has acquired its
strength. Any cramping of the soft
baby foot by shoes that are too tight
or too short, or that have the wrong
shape, is apt to result, the Boston ex-
pert believes, in the growth of the foot
bones in some wrong shape. A baby's
first shoes should resemble. he urges,
soft paper bags, merely tied around the
foot without restraining it at ALL The
fashion of teaching child to toe out
ward is another harmful thing, he be-
lieves, since the human body is sup
ported most easily and naturally when
the foot points straight ahead, as is
reported to have been true of the prim-
tive and shoeleSs American Indians.

character, and are usually above the
average In physical pulchritude and
good disposition. Ingrid, despite her
French descent, viii without doubt
prove a worthy descendant of the vi
kings.
So close has been the hook-up be-
tween the Scandinavian peninsu1as and
the big island to the southwestward
that of old the inhabitants of Britain
and at times even of Ireland suffered
greatly at the hands of the Mortimer
sea raiders. The bulk of England was
for a time ruled by king who was a
Dane by birth, but Canute, unlike GER
tain of the later Normans and Plantag-
enets, was sensible enough, once he
had occupied the throne, to consider
himself q genuine Englishman and to
act accordingly. The late Queen Alex
sndra was perhaps more popular with
her subjects than any foreign princess
on record and it is hoped and believed
that in case Ingrid accepts young Albert
Edward David George Andrew Patrick
Windsor she may enjoy a similar en-
viable status. If this marriage comes
of, she and Anne Morrow Lindbergh
will both be sitting on top Of the world.

Bus Hopping, Problem
For Motorists of ID. C.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
One of the perplexing problems of
automobile drivers is the ever insistent
demand of boys for rides. It is hard to
turn them down and often drivers give
in and sometimes are sorry afterward.
But there is another trick that is in
cessantly carried on and which should
be handled with firmness, namely, the
jumping on the rear ends of the large
buses. This thing happened at Scott
Circle. Fortunately an inspector was
riding and noted several boys idling on
the east end of the circle. One of
them made a dive for the bus and
perched himself in very dangerous
position. The inspector had the driver
slow down while he jumped off and
caught the boy before he had a chance
to fall or be crushed by large car
coming behind the bus. The young
fellow was so taken aback that he in
Stinctively wanted to fight.
Here is a problem that no parent can
deal with and no one but the motorists
themselves can handle. 1t is up to
drivers who see these dangerous acts to
put stop to them by calling on the
driver of the bus or truck to stop and.
II possible, to detain the boy and give
him some good advice
would like to take this opportunity
to commend the inspector, who pre-
vented a possible tragedy, for his eff
Gent handling of the case.

Modern 'Rithmetic.

The public schools of New York City
have taken step forward with the is
suance by Supt William j. O'Shea of
a. new syllabus for arithmetic to be put
into effect with the opening of the next
| Fall term.
Family budgets, installment buying,
bargain sales, figuring of home run per-
eentages-these are to be some of the
problems which will supersede the old
style puzzlers about "how many yards
Of carpet will it take" etc.
Supt. O'Shea, in announcing the
change in the curriculum, stated: 1.-THE
child's introduction to arithmetic should
be through interesting experiences. The
teacher should present situations that
will hold the attention of the pupil and
create in him a desire to learn how to
meet these situations. The solution of
problems paves the way for abstract
work"
Children will find their problems"
connected with the home, banking, bust
ness and taxes, with some stress in the
eighth grade on Wall Street processes.
The cost of food and clothing, furni-
ture and household utensils, CONNER
cial discount, net prices, savings and
business banks, drawing of checks, in
terest, kinds Of taxes, budgets, real
property, these and other specific prob
lens will be raised and met, and when
it becomes necessary to master abstract
mathematics the scholar will see the
need for it.
Enthusiasts declare that the new sys-
tenn will convert the study into game
dealing with the pupils own life. How
ever that may be, it would seem to be a
step in the right direction. There is a
general feeling that arithmetic in the
past received too large a share of at
tention and that it was not properly
connected with everyday life. The new
syllabus may or 1t may not overcome
these handicaps. It's trainers believe
that 1t will; others can hope that it
will.

or exemplary damages" measured by
what she can pay and yet rebuild her
own prosperity Thus far has civili-
cation grown since the ancient ideals
were superseded We are our brothers
keeper, even against himself.
Would an ancient conqueror have per-
mitted the Kaiser to find asylum In
little Holland without demanding his
surrender and execution, even to the
extent of insistence under penalty of
laying waste all Holland?
Nothing Is said of the other nations
involved with Germany In the war
Austria Hungary, Turkey and the small
nations of Central Europe. Why are
they not required to make reparations
also? Because they were found to be
starving and helpless at the close of
hostilities. When it was reported that
thousands of Austrians were starving
literally starving-and that millions
were without hope Of employment be-
cause the war had taken away the
great areas of the former Austria Hun
gary, and the sliced-off countries were
protecting their own infant indus
tries' with tariffs, preventing AUSTRIA
Hungary from either buying raw ma
terial or selling manufactured goods
when all this tragic situation became
known to the allies they agreed to
waive all immediate claims for repara-
tons and to finance Austrian relief
bonds, to the amount of $4,000, 900,
Endorsed and guaranteed by Great Brit
ain, France, CZechoslovakia and
the United States, so that Austrians
would not die The United States float
ed some $24,000,000 of those relief
bonds. Love your enemies, do good
to those who despitefully use you,' is
the keynote of modern humanity, utter
ly uncomfortable to the peoples of 1000
years or 1000 years ago-the days OF
the original Huns.
BY 1927 all Of that first fiotation Of
Austrian relief bonds was exhausted,
and yet Austria had not regained pros
pertty, for she is not an agricultural
country, but mountainous. and she still
required capital TO create manufactures
and q market from which tariff duty
walls OF her rivals shut her of. So In
1928 the eight allied and associated
nations again agreed to come to her
aid with another $100,000,000 for the
purpose Of capitalizing profitable en-
terprises. After the next two decades,
or by 1943, it Is hoped, she will begin
settling reparations-not now. Turkey
and the lesser countries-never.
