BONUS,REL|EF
ACTION IS
SOUGHT
Vital Appropriation Bills
Must Be Passed by March q;
Outlook None Too Bright

Enactment of the compromise
$20, 100000 drought belief meas
ure, a bill to cash the soldiers
bonus and $4,500, 100000 in appro-
priation bills constituted the Ad-
ministration's legislative program
for the remainder Of the lame
duck" session, it was announced
today.
Night sessions were ordered to
speed action. The drought relief
measure, already accepted by
Democratic leaders, has struck
snag in the Senate, where it met
opposition from insurgents in
both parties.
It was condemned for abandon
ing urban refugees of the unem-
ployment wave, and those -'ural in
habitants who lack the necessary
security for Government loans. In
the end, it will be approved by
Congress, but not before the in
surgents make it an issue for the
next campaign.
Bonus Bill Arbitrated
The soldier bonus question was
being arbitrated at both ends Of
the Capitol, with the legislators
hoping to reach some agreement
with the President.
The outlook on appropriation
bills was none too optimistic, al
though Administration leaders in
sisted all would be enacted before
March 4.
Only one Of the II necessary
supply bills has been enacted into
law. while but 18 legislative days
remain. Six appropriation bills
have passed both branches and
sent to conference. Two more
have passed the House and are
pending in the Senate. One is
under debate in the House now
and the last, the second deficiency
bill, is being drafted.
Interior Bill Tied Up
The Interior Department bill
was tied up in the Senate, be-
cause of the controversy over
drought relief and a battle over
FeueEaI ala Tor 4nQlan (TlDeS.
The Senate added a hundred
amendments to the bill last
week, intended to provide better
treatment for Indians. All were
deleted by the conferees.
The drought relief controversy
will be settled ultimately as the
Administration desires. The de-
bate probably will last two more
days. The Insurgent criticism
was aimed at the failure Of the
compromise to include any relief
for the unemployed in the cities
or those farmers too poor to give
security for Federal loans.
Senator LaFollette (R) of Wis
consin, led the fight against the
measure, charging it was an "un-
conditional surrender" of the
Senate's original position.
Final action on the Interior
bill will leave nine other appro-
priation bills to be passed before
March 4.

I understand your arrogance

Brown retorted:

said that to give the committee

Brown reiterated his refusal on

Blaine said:

and 10 of his alleged associates,
entered its third day this morning
with the completion of the teSti-
mony of Clarence OSterman, for
mer employe, the second witness

OPPORTUNITY IS
 ALL THE A'SNEED ITO WIN BALL GAMES
Four Hit, Four Run SpIurge Yesterday Showed Real Class of Champions
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 St Louis, october 2 - (UP) = It's the same old six and seven with the Philadelphia Athletics:. they make hits count for runs. That's the simple formula they have for winning ball games.
 If Al Simmons doesn't supply the punch, Jimmy Foxx does, and if neither comes through, well, Mickey Cochrane is poison in a pinch.
 In the opening game of the 1891 World Series it was Simmons, Foxx, and Grove. Simmons and Foxx did the hitting and Grove the pitching.
 For three straight years in sue cession the Athletics have been outhit in the opening game of the World Series, and pulled through made 12 hits off Grove in the first game. But the As, with only Il hits, grabbed off the all-import- ant first game, 6-2.
 Outstanding
 There never was a ball club su- perior to Connie Mack's three-time American League champions and twice world title-holders in making the most of its opportunities.
 It is a point for debate about how the present As stack up against the White Sox of 1906. The White Sox of 1919, the Red Sox of 1915-16, and the Yankees Of 1927-28, and other great ball clubs. but there never was baseball machine that outclassed the pres- ent Philadelphia team in coming through in the pinches.
 Give the As 50 cents worth of ball playing and they'll make it go as far as any National League team will a dollars worth of play ing.
 Paul Derringer, Cards rookie right-hander, wasn't outpitched by Grove over the 7s innings stretch he was on the mound. Both pitch CTS allowed Il hits during this per- iod, but Grove was invincible in the crucial moments, while Derrin- ger faltered. t
 At the first sign of a lapse on the part of Derringer, the As started to make base-hits count for runs. Held hitless for two innings, the As turned their first four hits into four runs in the third inning.
 The Big Break
 The turning point of the game came when Derringer walked Sim mons with the bases filled in the third inning, forcing in the run which tied the score 2-2. Two men were out, and 1t was a case of pitch to the American League champion or fold up. Derringer wasn't quite equal to the test and threw a weak, wide effort to Simmons with the count and 3.
 Foxx then walked up and smacked single to center, scoring Haas and Cochrane with the win ming runs.
 A year ago the As won the opener, 5-2, on five hits, and in

Nichols, should you have forgot ten is the young man who hit Bat tling Archie so hard and often in the first round of their bout at Lakewood a few weeks ago. that hotugh Archie came out for the second round he doesn't remember it yet. Also, you might recall, Georgie is the same young man who will not be allowed to meet Al Gainer for six months yet, for the reason you might suspect-he is quite able to give and take as well if not better than the New Haven double-title holder Of Con- necticut. He seems to be bad news for the colored boys but with Bush he will be taking on a boy who disposed of Leo Mitchell last night in one punch. And Leo, lads is the boy who gave Buddy Howard ths pasting of his Tiff ca year or so ago. Nichols and Bush hook up next week Thursday.
 Sweet Main Bout
 After rocky start and some left hooks from Stonewall steve Ketchell, our own Leo Larrivee slid into high gear after the third round and punched out clean- cut decision voer the hombre from Haverhill, who put up one of the grandest battles that you would care to look at. Many times dur ing the bout he shook Leo with solid shots to the head and jaw, hut there was not the speed nor snap to his blows that Larrivee possessed, particularly in the clos ing rounds of tn efight, when he unleashed body attack that would have worn down a weaker heart and body than Ketcheli own- ed. From the fifth round on, it was pretty much in favor of the local byo, though Stephen was dangerous even in defeat. The boys put on a real slam-bang bat tie. and though there were no knockdowns, it was very mucn worth while. Larrivee, 161, Ketchell, 164.
 Naugatuck Boy Wins
 As expected, Ernie Sims and Connie Mello put on neat num- Der, the Naugatuck boy taking the decision by a clear margin after SIX QdTus ldSL TOuUOS tudt lOot uO time in starting and finished up in a furry. Mello was in first class condition, boxed well but was no match for the cool, hard-punching Sims when it came to placing his shots with something behind them. Mello sealed 134, Sims, 13eh. Sal Carter, the seasoned ring campaigner from Middletown was too smart for Joe Vignah, the Town Plot iron man, though the Waterbury walloper gave him plenty to think about in the early rounds. However, when Sal got the range, it was just matter of keeping away from Vignalis wild swings. Joe has bene in the ring nearly two years. and has not yet been taught how to throw a punch, and until he does learn, his wins will be few and far between. Carter weighed 137, Vignali 136.
 Sims and Carter would make local fight history, in our humble opinion, should the boys come to- gether.
 Hot and Heavy
 Joe Arnold. the Brooklyn boy tired badly in the last two rounds, but not before he punched K. o. Jim Sweeney of Torrington into partial paralysis to take the four round ndo. The boys went at it hammer and tongs from the sec ond round on. Arnold 157, Sweeney 160.
