Some Of the experts have oeen
quoted as saying that Bucky
Harris was one of the star players
of the national pastime when
he was playing regularly and
managing the Washington Nat
ionals.
Although he is gone from but
not forgotten now in Washington,
fans may get a glimpse OF a
sandlot performer who resembles
Harris in lots of ways. And that
performer is Willis Fisher, IN
fielder of the Hibbs Nine Of the
Industrial League.
Fishers Harris attributes are
similar to say the least. lie IS
built like Harris, he walks around
likes Harris, he throws like Harris
stretches his arms up and down
like Harris, holds his glove like
Harris, goes after everything like
Harris, and evens bats like Harris
used to, choking his bat almost
half way up. Even when he hits
the ball it's like Harris used to
hit them that sharp follow type
making the ball go on a line.
Fisher is one of the main
stays of the Fibbs team. He
int the second baseman OF
the infieId which would make
him once more like Harris,
but he plays the third bag
in competent manner. He has
a cool head on him too which
has a great deal to do with
the Steadying of his team
mates during a heated part Of
the game. Fisher runs the
bases Cleverly also which
stamps him as fast, something

every ball player would like

Fisher first came into the eyes
of sandlot followers by playing
on the Eastern High School nine
under Coach Guyon. He per-
formed very we'll and before his
graduation captained the team IN
his last year, being selected all
high third baSeman by several.
Some even considered his ability
so much as to shift him to second
or their mythical teams because
it was hard to keep him off even
if they had to place him at a
position he u not play in the
high school series.
Fishers HibbS teammates call
him Eagle. And good nick
name because he's as quick as
one. When a grounder goes his
way or fly ball is hit in the
infield or behind it, they yell, Its
all Eagles, another out boys
And Fisher gobbleS up the chance
in imitable Harris fashion.
Fisher is more than a good
ball player. He is an ener-
getic lad always working for
his team even though it may
be in the very worst depth of
slump. He's on the coach
ing lines between innings and
back of them on the field
shouting encouragement at
all times. Once again like
Harris.
Fisher may never make the big
leagues but he surely will bring
big league thoughts to those who
watch him because of his Harris
attributes. He certainly is Har-
ris replica if there ever is one.
The Hibbs team Is fortunate.

A rest period is in order for
both clubs today. The GrlttS,
who have had their fill of over
time labor, can use this breath
ing spell nicely.
Connie Mack'S crippled Ath-
letics put on another slugging
circus before $4,000 yesterday to
make it four in a row over the
GriffmerA 9-6. This triumph
sent them into undisputed pos
session of first place.
Sad Sam Jones was daced off
the hill in the sixth when a six
run rally. featuring "Dib" Will
liams' home run to deepest CEN
ter, was promoted. Jones, who
lost his first nod of the season,
was relieved alternately by Myles
Thomas, Fred Marberry and Bob
Burke.
The Washington club started
strong and was oeadlocked with
the AS at 2-all when that sixth
heat landslide resulted.
The residents treatened with a
late-inning comeback and were
trailing by only three runs when
Moses Grove relieved young Lee
Roy Mahaffey in the ninth. With
three on and two out, Grove pro-
ceeded to fan Pinchhitter Jack
Hayes.
Goose Goslin continued his re-
cent batting comeback with two
triples and as many singles. West
got double and two singles, as
did Jumping Joe Cronin.

MICH Next Saurdau at Final Hour to Join Title Fight 1
BY BOB THAYER

EN- ROUTE TO DETROIT,
June Bob Burke may soon
be used as a starting pitcher!
Stout hearted Lloyd Brown has
failed to show much in recent
starts.
And, unless he gets going
shortly, Manager Walter Johnson
will likely substitute the Joliet,
Ill, sidewinder.
Brown, one of the Washing
ton clubs most effective pitchers
when right, believes he needs
more work. He will get it. If he
fails to respond to this pro
cedure a change will be effected.
Burke, one of the coolest young
pitchers in the big time today, is
also one of the most improved.
A beautiful hook, a fast one carry
ing plenty of steam and excellent
control are his main assets.
Brownie is a fine pitcher
and figures to win us plenty
of ball games" Walter John
son declared en- route to
Detroit today. If he doesn't
get started soon, however,
Burke may replace him.
"ThiS doesn't mean that
Brown can't come back
later. He's got the heart
and stuff of winner. And
I'm strong for him."
Liska, Brown and Hadley will
be worked as frequently as posi-
BILE during the impending West
ern invasion. Jones will get
plenty of rest between games.
Burke, whether or not he is sub
stituted for Brown, is to be
nominated against the White SoX
and Browns-clubs he generally
beats.
Catches Benny Tate, who only
recently recovered from spring
cold, is ready to work again.

using him against lefthanded
pitchers from time to time dur

HOLDS COLLEGES

Lafayette Head Says Execu-

Purpose of Institutions.
BY the Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, November Col
lege students often are aimless because
the colleges are aimless, Dr. William
NJ. Lewis, president of Lafayette Uni
versity, said yesterday at the annual
session of the Association of Urban Uni
vcrsities.
ASK many college executives or fac
ulty members to define the purpose of
their institution, and you are RECALLED
either with meaningless generalities or
parrotlike repetition" he said.
Furthermore, there is no adequate
definition of education in its broader
phases. Education is a continuous
process through the various artificial
devices of our school and university
system to have no meaning for them.
They are content to sit by and give
no thought to what has gone on before
or will develop later in those they are
attempting to teach. Certainly our in
situations Of higher learning have given
scant consideration to the matter of
the continuing of the intellectual inter-
ests of those passing out of their doors ]"
DR. Lewis explained the Lafayette
plan designed to continue the educa-
ton of the college alumni
A. 2. Reed of the Carnegie Founda-
ton for the Advancement of Teaching
said that laws in the United States were
so mixed up more lawyers were needed
here than in any other nation. He dis
cussed evening and part-time law
schools and said neither was as good
at present as the full-time school.
William H Lloyd of the University
of Pennsylvania Law School said the
problem of law schools today was
whether to produce quantity or quail
ity."

He's the Santa Claus Of the
Fifth precinct-and the reason
is that three years ago his gift"
child was taken from him and
his wife. Now his chief happi-
ness is making other children
happy.
In 1922. Elsie Tomlinson, un-
able to care properly for her
two-weeks-old baby, Billy, gave
him to MIR. and Mrs. James M.
Conner to be raised as their own.
Kept Child 5 Years
For five years the Conners
treated little Billy as their own
child and learned to love him
as such. Then, in February,
1927, the neither appeared and
said she wanted to take her
five-year-old son away.
The Conners filed a petition
in District Supreme Court ask
ing that they be allowed to adopt
the infant. However, when the
case was tried, the court ordered
Billy restored to his natural
mother. Mrs. Conner collapsed
with grief when she heard the
verdict.
Boy Is Found
This year the rooms at the
Fifth precinct are filled with
overcoats, toys, foods and other
presents for the poor, due to the
unselfish activity of Mr.. Conner.
Billy-now eight years old-was
abandoned in Roanoke, Va. Mr..
Conner was informed. He found
the child had been placed in the
care Of an aged couple, and
under the State law he must re-
main with them until he is 10.

Smoke Screen Helps
Christmas Cheer
To Reach D. E..

A load of Christmas "cheer"
came into Washington last
night and successfully escaped
confiscation. Police pursued the
bootleg car that raced through
the streets at a 70-mile an hour
clip, throwing out dense clouds
Of smoke.
Policeman M. A. Raney, Of
the special liquor patrol, first
noticed the machine at Second
Street and Virginia Avenue
Southeast, and after. q wild
chase lost the car at First and
Canal Streets Southwest.
The policeman said the car
was loaded down with cases Of
liquor and the minute he
started after it some one turned
on the smoke. The smoke was
so dense that Raney was forced
to abandon pursuit.
