CASE OF GIANTS
Is PUZZLE FOR
5. BASEBALL men

NEW 4ORh, May 10. tU.h)-Ihe
strange case of the New York
Giants is bafflia.g the baseball
world.
Most Of the National League
managers and leading players agree
that the Giants have one OF the best
clubs in the league. But they are
in seventh place tod.1y, having won
only seven out of IL games.
Hunting for the flaw is like
hunting for needle in a haystack.
The Giants have had n o serious mis-
fortune to handicap II EN-.
John MeGraw's absellce from the
team because of sinus trouble may
have played its part, but the Giants
have been without McG raw before
and still been able to win games
McGraw has two capable assistants
in Ray Schalk and Bert Niehoff,
smart, veteran players who have
themselves piloted ball Clubs.
McGrayq refuses to believe that
the Giants are not pennant conten
ders and he sticks to the theory
that they will throw off their slump
any day now.
I'D be foolish to say that the
Giants don It have me worried" !" he
said. 81 don't know what's wrong
with them. If / did | would correct
it. This team reminds me somehow
of my 1916 team which lost II out
of its first is games but won II
straight games and was in second
place June !. Later we set a record
which has never been equalled BY
winning 20 straight games. When
we do get going, we are going to be
as hard TO stop as we were to
start

The collection of runs by the loop

The game last night started as if
it would be real tight fray but
the heavy hitters of the leaders
started to work in the latter innings
and piled up the impressive total OF
80 safe wallops and the SO markers.

Measure, Ready Within Week,
Would Provide Model
Mart for District.
END OF PRESENT BUILDING
IS PROPOSED BY JULY /
Site Will Be Used for Department
Of Justice Structure in
Mall Development.

Following his recently expressed belief
that steps should be taken to replace
Center Market when it is abandoned.
chairman Capper, of the Senate Dis
trlct committee, announced today that
within week he would have ready a
bill to provide for model center
market in Washington.
The present Center Market will 90
out OF business July l if resolution
recently approved by the Senate is
taVorably acted upon by the House. It
would be torn down to make Wav for
the new Department of Justice Building
as part of development in the Penn
sylvanta Avenue-Mall Triangle. The
hiking of July as the date for aban-
comment of the market is regarded as
an indication that the Government will
be ready to begin clearing ground for
the Justice Building before the end of
1880.
No Bills Introduced Today.
The brief opening session of the SEN
ate today did not permit introduction
OF DIS. but it Is probable that within
Few days a number of local measures
Will be presented. The number of such
nllls, however, will not be as large as
Is usual at the opening of a regular
session, because Senators introduced
several bills at the special session.
Although introduction of bills was
possible during the special session, the
Senate District committee awaited the
opening OF the regular session to take
them up, because the special session
was confined to the tariff bill. Senator
Capper has stated he will call a meet
s1g OF the committee at an early date.
One of the first bills the committee
VIII consider is the free text book meas
ure for public schools which was caught
In jam at the close of the old Con-
gress in March.
No new bills on the subject of street
railway merger have been introduced
since the old Congress adjourned in
March, and Senator Capper has indi-
Gated ne will await word from the Pub
tic Utilities Commission on this uues-
ton, since the commission has been
keeping the merger subject in mind in
connection with the street car rate case.
Two subcommittee at Work.
Two subcommittee of the Senate
District committee started work in the
special session and are expected to con-
tlnue In the regular session. One is
the Blaine subcommittee, drafting pro-
posed legislation to regulate the real
estate business, the sale of securities
and the method of foreclosing mort
cages IN the District The other is the
Sackett subcommittee, appointed to in
Vestlgate police affairs, which began
working several weeks ago, but had to
take a recess because the members were
ous1ly engaged on the tariff bill.

NEWSPRINT BOOST
PROTEST EXPECTED
Canada's Efforts to Raise Rate
Likely to Stir Publisher
Group.
BY the Associated Press.

oS tic associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 2.-An Off
cial protest against the Canadian gov
ernment'S attempts to increase the price
of newSprint is expected To be drawn
up by the American Newspaper pub
fishers Association. which meets in
an emergency convention at the Hotel
pennsylvania here, December o
Othclals Of the association today said
that 1t Is the general contention of all
members that it would be unfair to
increase the newsprint rates for the
coming year.
The main opposition to the proposed
increase, however, Is expected to be
conferred around the past policy of
paper manufacturers to maintain a
same price to ALL"
Annual contracts with the Interna-
tlonal Paper Co., through which more
than 400 members of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association buy
their paper, expired for 1929 on No
vemher 30, but the company asked for
a 30-day period of grace before an
nouncing new contract rate. This.
the company officials hope, will give
them time to reach a decision at the
paper rate conferences now being held
in Canada.
The same price to all" policy will
not be maintained if the present news
print price of SIS per ton is raised for
the coming year, association officials
have pointed out, citing the five-year
contracts drawn between certain publ
cations and the International Co. at SIS
per ton, which is just completing its
first year.
The Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton is powerless to interfere II the
price of news print is raised, other than
to enter protest with the Canadian
government. Data and records showing
the present condition of the ewspaper
industry in America have been assem-
bled to be filed if protest is drawn.
Officials of the A. N. P. A. and the
International Paper Co. said they were
not prepared to estimate what an in
crease in paper print would cost the
newspaper industry.

YEGGS ROB CHURCH
SAFE, GETTING $3.50
HamIine Methodist Episcopal
Is Looted of Special
Offering Fund.

Burglars who cared nothing for the
fact that yesterday was Golden Rule
Sunday, the message of which was BE
We Merciful," last night or early today
robbed the safe of the Hamline Meth
odist Episcopal Church at Sixteenth and
Allison streets of funds estimated at
$3.50. The money included, yesterday
mornings collection and a special COL
lection of $40, which was taken Thanks
giving day for the Methodist Home for
the Aged.
The robbery was discovered by Will
liam r. Schumacher, general secretary of
the church, at 9:05 this morning when
he visited the church to count the COL
lection. money in the safe and to make
his customary Monday morning bank
deposit. The safe, which normally rests
in a corner of the church office, over
looking a row of residences on Allison
street, was hauled so feet across cor
ridor and into the chapel adjoining the
main auditorium of the church.
In the quiet of the chapel the
burglars, who had gained entrance by
smashing section of the glass from
the windows of the gymnasium on the
ground floor, battered open the safe box
and tore open each collection envelope
to extract its contents. A wad of choir
VeStmentS had been used as pillow
for the safe.
Whether the burglars were frightened
away or whether their eyes fell upon
the service and lesson leaf upon which
was printed the BE ye rnerciful" mes
sage for December /, Golden Rule Sum-
day, could not be determined, but a
score or more of the envelopes, some of
which we're torn, were left In the debris
with their money content exposed to
view.
The robbery, Mr.. Schumacher said, was
committed some time after $50 o'clock
last night, for it was at that time that
Harry p. James, chairman of the church
board of trustees, closed the Office and
left the building.
Rev. DR.. Chesteen Smith, pastor of
the church, was called to his church
following the discovery of the robbery
and notified police.
