a flock Of pitchers working on good
from. the White Sox have earned
the present rating OF 500.

Sox we're not able to keep pace
with him.
Washington. still the leader OF

high ranking club to meet defeat

pitching Of George Pipgras Of the
New York Yankees and were shut
out. 9 10 0. Pipgras. who has pitch
ed in two Of the three Yankee VIC
tories, gave but five hits while
Brown and Burke allowed Il. ard

land. took the leading role as the
Indians beat the St. Louis Bros rs
for the third time in succession. G
to 3. The rookie hurler from New
Orleans gave St. Louis but three
hits for his third victory Of tho
season.
Milton CASTOR Of the Boston Rel

pitching performance in the Amer
lean league yesterday 70 beat the
Philadelphia Athletic. Z 10 3 Castor
gave the worlds champions only
six hits, famed six and allowed no
walks.
Dazzy Right
The National league likewise went
in for good pitching yesterday with

leading exponent. Dazzy held all Of
the New York Giants except Pat
Crawford well under control. while
the Robins hammered out a Q to 4
victory.

.L|NDbERGH FALLS
 OFF HIS HORSE
Dragged Several Feet When Foot
 Catches in Stirrup

Del Monte, Calif., March z (UP) If the same spirit which has char acterized his experience in the air. both in motored and motorless planes prevails, Col Charles A. Lindbergh should become good horseman soon.
 The first intimation anyone had of the Flying Coloners' aptitude for the comparatively slow riding horse back, came yesterday when he fell from his horse during a riding les son being given by Arthur ?. Per- kins.
 The horse was galloping across the field when Lindbergh's foot be- came entangled in the stirrup and he was dragged a few feet before he became disentangled.
 He arose unhurt, picked up his hat, and apparently had nothing to say"

DISCUSSES
 TRENDS OF LABOR
"Leisure Plus Luxury" in World
 Reached, Leader Says

Philadelphia, March ' LP-For the first time in human history, leisure plus luxury is happening to the masses, and mass culture is in sight" Edward A. Filene Of Boston. asserted today in addressing the American Academy Of Political and Social Science.
 Speaking on "The New Capital ism" MT. Filene said that if the consumers dollar was to function at it's best something more than low prices and high wages would be nec cssary.
 Tt will be necessary" he declared, flor the consumer to want moro things. If the masses are working 16 hours a. day, they will not become great customers. for they will sleep the other eight hours and people do not buy much while they arc asleep.
 Cites Real Principle
 This is the true business princi- pie behind the movement for the shorter work-day and for the five day week. The new capitalism in sists upon passing leisure around. This new leisure is awakening great masses of Americans to demand not merely for serviceable things. but for beautiful things.
 By standardzing production and distribution our capacity for wealth production is being multiplied. and the new freedom which this wealth is bringing us is permitting us 10 spend our time and money accord ing 10 our individual ideas.
 What the solcalists dreamed Of the new capitalism has made a reality, but not. by their methods. Human selfishness and the ever present human desire for greater total profits will lead to the adoption of the new principles

DRYS ID RESUME
 NEXT WEDNESDAY,
Graham to Extend Time for Side
 at Their Request

Washington, March P) - The house judiciary committee will re- sumc its hearings on prohibition next Wednesday with the drys con- tinuing their vigorous defense of the anti-llquor statutes.
 Two full days have been devoted 10 the friends of the 18th amend ment with at least five more to come. These friends have said they will make use of all of the seven days originally allotted to them, and Representative Graham of Pennsylvania, the chairman of the committee, has promised them ad- ditional time, if they want it.
 Graham Makes Statement
 Graham, who twice denounced the prohibition laws in the course of the hearings, made this statement when dry members Of the committee ob- jected to extended cross examination of dry witnesses and the introduc- ton of statements by wet committee members as consuming the time all lotted the sponsors of prohibition.
 The drys have presented eight witnesses, including an economist, a clergyman. society leader a prom incnt Catholic layman, a magazine writer, a farm leader. one present and one former member of the house and business man.
 Through these, they have sought 10 refute statements made by wet witnesses, that drinking has incroas- cd among the younger generation and in the higher social circles, that prohibition has been partially re- sponsible for the agricultural de- pression through a decreased de- mand for grains that formerly went into the manufacture of alcoholic liquors and that deaths from alco- holsm and associated diseases have increased since the enactment of the dry laws.
 Applause Gets Evidence
 As when the vets were present. ing their testimony, the committee room was packed with spectators when the dry witnesses were on the stand. There was applause for the statements of the latter as there was for those of the vets.
 The committee is devoting two days each week to the hearings, choosing Wednesdays and Thurs days for this purpose. although an extra day was spent in taking evil dence this week in order that the vets might complete the presenta- ton of their testimony without ser

 In his address, Governor Case en- phasized that there was no hope Of developing the port of Providence until there is railroad competition.
