BERN|CE WALL
To BATTLE
CIRCUIT
By NAN O'REILLY

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. %
Two of the four major cham
pions in the women's national
golf title meetings teed up on
the links of the Country Club
of Buffalo this morning with the
realization that they will have to
play real golf in the second round
today to remain in the battle.
The other two. Glenna Collett
Ware, the defending titleholder
and Enid Wilson, the British
champion, should have no diff
ficulty in winning their way to
the third round, but it's a diff
ferent story with Maureen Or.
cutt, Canadian champion. and
Billie Hicks, the smiling swatter
from Hewitt. N. Y.
Maureen started down the first
fairway this morning with Bernice
Wall as an opponent, and the
Oshkosh girl proved that she was
on her game plenty by the way
she took Mrs. Greglifur, Los An
geles, 7 and S.
Bernice played the 13 holes
necessary to win her match in
So strokes, as against SO for the
same distance for Maureen.
But Maureen isn't likely to go
on another scoring spree for the
outward nine this morning, as
she did yesterday against Jane
Broadwell. Poor Jane didn't
know whether she was playing
Maureen or Billie Burke when the
Jersey girl reeled off 3. 4. 4. 4, 3. 8,
to win the five out of six holes.
Orcutt Has Edge
The Orcutt-Wall match today
should be full of thrills, but Maui
reen has the edge.
Glenna, who got away to bad
start yesterday, but won, 6 and
4, from Jean Armstrong, isn't
likely to encounter much diff
Guilty today with Mrs. Charles
Edd1S, the only Canadian IN the
field.
On the lower side of the brac-
ket, Enid Wilson, British girl,
is favored to win from Mrs.
Ariel Cant Nelson. of Dayton.
Helen Hicks and Marion Hol-
Inns are expected to stage bat
tie in their meeting today. Miss
Hicks may make the mistake of
undertaking Marion, and if she
does, she will rue the day as our
grandmothers had it.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The
Griffmen are in the big city" to-
day ready and rarin' to go in their
four-game fight for second place
with the New York Yankees.
Leading by half a game as re-
suit Of yesterdays 7-to-2 victory
over the Chicago White Sox, while
the McCarthymen idled, the Griffs
are out to begin right away in
snG ching the coveted honors.
Their aim is to take today's
opener which will make their task
much easier in the contests to fol-
low. A victory today will increase
their lead to a game and a half
over their deSpised rivals.
Manager johnson has intimated
that Lloyd Brown will be his
pitcher today. He plans following
with big Fred Marbery, Alvin
Crowder and Monte weaver in
the order named.
Single games are scheduled
today anI Friday in this series.
Tomorrow will be an Off-day as
far as the Griffs are concerned,
while a dOuble-hea will con-
clude things Saturday.
The Yanks play an exhibition
game tomorrow as part of the big
charity double-header scheduled
which will see the Giants and
Brooklyn Robins as the other
teams in action.
A real test is before the GriffS
in these games. and they know
it. In order to capture second
place, they realize they will have
to face such stellar Yank hurlers
as Lefty Gomez, Henry Johnson,
George Pipgras and Herb Pen
mock, all excellent FINGERS when
right.
"We're going to fight" said
Manager johnson this morning.
Gust watch us. All of us want
that extra money, now that
we're ahead once more. And let
me say that victory over the
White Sox yesterday did us a
lot of good"
Carl Fischer turned in an ex-
cellently pitched game in winning
his thirteenth triumph of the sea-
son, by the way. He granted his
opponents seven hits and never
had to bear down.
The Griffs sewed things up
with six run scoring bee in the
first inning. Urban Red Faber,
usually tough customer to beat.
was chased before he could get
man out, as a starter, while
Thomas and Bowler, who
followed, only were in there to
finish things out.
Myer, Rice and West singled,
Cronin doubled and Manush was
safe on Blues error, for three
runs before Faber went to the
showers. A walk to Kuhel and
Bluege's double off Thomas sent
across three more counters few
moments later. Then. the relief
pitcher settled down to the task
of getting the side out. He did
by retiring Spencer, Myer and
Rice.
The Sox counted their only
two runs in the first and ninth.
Blue scored from third on Jolley's
fly to West in the first. while
Garrity doubled across Appling
in the ninth.
The Washington times., 1931-09-23

To us this proves one thing,
to wit: 1t would be a good idea
to match this pair again. Ger
tainly in another meeting each
would benefit enough by Mon
days match to be able to estab-
lish a definite margin of vic
tory, one way or another.
The Washington times., 1931-09-23

The contestants will be grouped
into foursomes and the one win
ming will receive a prize. Handi-
caps will apply. There will be a
surprise for every flight.
A dinner will follow the golf.
The affair was originally an inter
city match with the Baltimore
Automobile Trade Association, but
the Baltimoreans were unable to
keep the appointment.

Denounce Hoover Plan to
Extract Donations

The Hoover plan for regular
contributions to charity from
the Federal Army of Civil
Service employees to erect a
backlog against unemploy-
ment was censured on Capitol
Hill today.
The Progressives we're not sat
iSfied with President Hoover's
declaration that the, contribution
would be voluntary" They pro-
tested that the mere collection
of funds by any Government or
department agency "Smacked OF
the Sandbag."
Senator Wheeler of Montana
said:
s'The President says he Op-
poses the dole by legislation,
vet here is the dole by Execu'
tive order. Instead Of apprO-
priating funds by act OF Con-
gresS, the President would raise
the money for a dole by sand.
bagging it out Of underpaid
Government workers.
Suggests Other Forms
''What the Government ought
to do is to authorize series OF
great Federal projects to pro-
vide work instead Of charity for
the unemployed.
eff that can't be done, then
the ultra-rich ought to be taxed
and some of their profits of the
last five years taken to provide
relief for the suffering unem-
pIOyed.
"ThOse Government workers,
VINO are able, are giving to
charity and always have given.
The fact that the President
deems it necessary to institute
some new scheme for gathering
such contributions indicates
plainly he isn't satisfied with
voluntary contributions. 1t is
plain he wants something more
than the voluntary gifts"
Frazier Opposed
Senator Frazier (R0, of North
Dakota, said:
'Tf these workers are forced
to turn a portion of their sal
aries over to charity, it is the
same as a reduction in their
salaries. There are many Gov
ernment employees, with large
families, who can't afford gifts
to charity. The plan would be
alright if each worker was per.
mitted to be the Judge of his
own ability to contribute. I

I. FOR NEEDY
Many Who Never Employed
Domestics Do So Now, ?
U. S. Agency Reports

As a result of the plea Of
The Washington Times for odd
jobs for the unemployed, do
mestics are being employed in
homes throughout the District
that never before hired help,
it was reported today at the
United States Employment Bu-
reau.
The plea, however, turned out
to have a two-fold result. It
also brought forth many unem-
ployed persons who previously
had not known of the existence
of the bureau.
500 Ask Work Daily
A visit to the offices Of the
bureau on Louisiana Avenue
would hurry residents Of the Dis
trict in finding odd jobs in their
homev or other places for the un-
employed. Officials of the bu-
reau said that there is not a
home in Washington, where the
heads of the family are employed
that cannot provide some sort
of work for a person or persons
out of work. An average Of 500
men and women ask for work at
the bureau each day.
The employment officials, like
The Times, think that persons
employed should find work for
some unemployed person, at least
one day each week. The rich
can do much more. They can
hire an extra chauffeur, an extra
gardener, clerk, typist or stenog-
rapher. The middle classes can
have their clothes pressed, mend
ed or renovated by the unem-
ployed. They also can have their
automobiles washed or their fur
naces cleaned.
Stores Urged to Help
One official at the employment
bureau said she has visited many
of the stores throughout the city
and the proprietorS all report, she
said, that business is better Sthis
year than it was last. That be-
ing true, the storekeepers might
easily find it convenient to take
on extra salespeople.
Each day The Times publishes
a coupon which has space for the
odd jobs you have and the num-
ber of persons you can give work
to. The employment bureau is
giving the jobs first to the bona
fide residents of the District who
need work. If employment is
found for them, then the Off
cials will place the vast army Of
work seekers who have come from
other cities in the hope Of find
ing employment.

Plan Contemplated Part-time
Sharing Of Time With
Those Who Lose Out

Definite decision to abandon
the plan of Acting Engineer
Commissioner Donald A. Davi-
son for half-time pay and
work of 800 municipal per
diem employees so that similar
employment might be given
800 others has been reached
by the District Commissioners.
A storm Of protests, from civic,
charitable and welfare organi-
cations, shortly after the Davi-
son plan was announced, forced
the decision.
However as a sequel > ap-
proximately 400 per diem en-
ployes will lose their jobs next
week.
Major DaviSon's plan called for
putting 800 employees on half time
pay and work through the winter
so that the 400. who are to lose
their jobs, and 400 other needy
local residents might be similarly
employed. The average salary
for such employment was to be
approximately $12 a week.
The protesting organizations
contended that employment on
such a small wage would only in
crease the city's unemployment
problem, would double the num-
Der of cases handled by local
charitable agencies and would
prove poor economy for the Dis
trict Government.
