HOUSE, SENATE
 FINALLY AGREE ON LARGE SUM
Twenty Million Dollars Are Now Available to
 Help Sufferers PRESIDENT SIGNS
 MEASURE AT ONCE Reported Opposition in Senate Consits of Only
 Fifteen Votes

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 16.- Congressional approval was given the $20,0o0O0O drought relief com- promise late last Saturday when the House accepted the proposal about one hour after the Senate.
 The House took no record vote
 The Senate stood 67 to IS. Thir- ty-one Democrats and 36 Republi- cans voted for the compromise.
 Eight Republicans, six Demo- crats and one Farmer Labor voted against the compromise.
 The compromise was an amend ment to the Interior Departments supply bill which became the first regular supply bil to meet Con- gressional approval.
 President Hoover immediately ap- proved of the relief compromise action by signing the Interior Department Bill to which the $20,- 100000 appropriation was attached.
 NO FURTHER FUNDS
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 16.- Prospects for a new attempt of Congress to get additional Federal relief funds are, seen although there is no expectation that the move will be successful.
 Easier sailing in efforts to avoid an extra session are seen after President Hoover signed the $20,- 100000 drought relief bill.
 It took the Senate a full week to approve of the compromise al- though only fifteen votes were opposing.

BY KIRK MILLER

One angle of the spring prepa-
ration of the Washington Griff.
men impresses from this dis
tance, the same being a busy
exhibition game schedule which
will average the club five games
a week from now until the time
the regular championship sea-
son opens on April IA.
Exhibition games in abun-
dance impress us as being the
best spring diet for two reasons.
Cd They gradually work the
players up to the competitive
edge necessary to get a running
start in the race.
(2) Actual competition IS
less drudgery for the players
whose interest in their work
can be kept well kindled by
plenty of it.
With such busy times ahead
there is no member of the large
SQUAD of Griffmen that can't
get thorough inspection in
actual play from Manager
Johnson. No rookie can be
turned away without a COM
plete trial in harness-which is
fair all around.

STITCHES HELP
WYSONG

Cincinnati'S activities have not
been breaking into the limelight
because the club has taken only
a few men down South this spring
around whom to build for the
coming pennant fight. The team
needs outfielders and could use
a couple of men in the infield be-
sides several pitchers.
One Of the highlightS Of the
training has been the new de-
livery sprung on the batterS by
Biff WysOng, a recruit who has
been trying to become a major
league player for two years.
The hitters at practice have
been completely fooled by his
curves, which have been helped
by the raised seams which pro-
trude just one thirty-second of
an inch higher than on the old
ball. That slight edge has helped
wysong toss a sharp curve that
breaks nicely-away from the plate

Earl Clark Day

Travelling at top speed with
so many exhibitions on their
program, the. Griffs, therefore,
can be expected to breeze into
Washington early next month
tuned to make it a race from
the bang-off.
Those who are encountering
difficulty getting good opening
day tickets are turning to the
exhibition game schedule locally
to get their first view of the
1881 outfit. Four such games
will precede the Washington
Philadelphia inaugural, starting
with the Boston Braves April
8. which his friends are desig-
mating as earl Clark Day."
The Phillies then play here the
next day, followed by Balti-
more and Rochester on April
II and IL, respectively.
And while we are on the sub
ject of baseball, there seems
to be considerable sentiment
around town for the earlier
starting hour on Satu1 DAYS at
the domestic ball yard. Rob Roy
Mackey reports the Navy Yard
fans are circulating a petition
s&king Owner Griffith for a 2
o'clock game time on the Gov
ernment half-holidays through
out the baseball season.
We have no doubt that if
enough fans make their wants
known to the local manage
ment, something will be cone
about an earlier start. They
ere the ones to be satisfied, and
there is no reason for their
wants being met with a deaf
ear.

Muddy Ruel's Gift

Incidentally, what are you
fans going to do about that
Muddy Ruel remembrance?
Enough baseball enthusiasts
have o. KID the idea suggested
by "Just a Fan" to make us be-
lieve the idea a popular one
and we must not let the date
for Ruels coming, April 10,
come upon us without some
suitable gesture in his behalf.
While Ruel probably will not
be playing on April 19 on &C.
count of a split thumb, he will,
no doubt, be in uniform and on
the bench and will be tickled to
know Washington fandom hasn't
forgotten him. The idea, as Sug-
geSted herein several weeks ago,
should be to give Muddy a watch
or suitcase or some similar
remembrance bought by nickels
and dimes and quarters of the
fans money.
So you fellows, and girls. too,
who work IN OFFICES where there
are a large number of fans, can
start passing the hat for Ruel's
gift and send your collection to
Postmaster Bill Mooney. care
of the City Postoffice, who has
accepted the Craftsmanship of
the Ruel gift committee, and
who is to make the preSenta-
ton to Muddy.
Remember, the idea CT the
Ruel remembrance is nickels
and dimes and quarters rather
than larger donations, so that
as many fans as possible can be
represented in the expression of
thought from Washington base
ball followers to Muddy Ruel
that Washington hasn't forgot
ten him and won't-for a long,
long time.

BOUT
WITH GEORGE
|SSOUGHT

NEW YORK, March 18.-When
Greek meets Greek you have a
restaurant, but if a Greek wrest-
ler named Jim Londos will meet
Eo' Don) George for the undis-
puted championship of the world
at Ebbets Field in June you will
have a sellout with 10000 fans
paying 100000 to witness the
champions of the rival resting
herds come to grips.
The idea has been the cream
of every wrestling promoter in
the country for the past three
months, but the figures are those
oe James j. Johnston, wio will
promote wrestling and boxing
matches at the Brooklyn bail park
this summer. Johnston wants to
start operations with this wrest-
ling match of the century" and
is, making every effort to bring
the head men of the rival groups
together.
LOndOs has been broadcasting
for some time that he would
tackle any wrestler in the
world.
Yesterday George declared he
vas ready to post $4,000 to meet
any qualified challenger who
would post $4,000 as a guaranty
Of good faith The former Michi.
gan collegian makes his New York
debut week from tonight at the
Sixty-ninth Regiment Armory.
Johnston, sensing the opportu-
nifty Of a lifetime, Immediately
got on the job and declared today
he had Georges consent to the
match.
That is his story, and whether
or not he is stuck with it will de-
pend on a conference he is to
have today or tomorrow with
Jack Curley, his rival New York
promoter, who has built up halo
of invincibility around Londos
since the wrestling war started
and Jim was declared champion
in New York and Pennsylvania.
The writer got Curley on the
phone early today to get his reac-
ton to the proposed match.
Mons. Curley expressed his skep-
ticism in the following terse
manner:
eff some poor, dOwn-trOdden
newspaper man will bring me
commission contract with
Georges signature, calling for
him to wrestle LondOs. 1 will
give said newspaper man the
sum of $4,000"
Mons. Curley left himself neat
"out," however, by declaring he
would want the match staged at
one of the New York ball parks,
Curley having no intention of let
ting this big match go to rival,
Johnston.
Johnston's reply was intended
to be equally crushing.
"I'll grab that $4,000 myself"
he retOrted. "LOndOS is afraid
to meet a real wrestler. They
have been feeding him taxi
drivers for the past year.
Stranger Lewis threw him in II
straight matches, and Stecher,
MaIciewicZ and others beat him
before he got this other gang
to play in his own back yard"
Whether Johnston is talking
through his fedora will be deter
mined when and if he confers
with Curley. If the match is
closed it will easily eclipse the
record wrestling gate" of $4,000
drawn by Frank Gotch and
George Hackenschmidt in Chi
cago in 1910.

BILOXI, Miss, March 18.-Bill
Hargrave, Washington's burly
turn-around hitter, has reached
his best catching weight. Trainer
Mike Martin was authority for
this announcement today.
Bill, who has trained faithfully
since early February, scaled IT'S

than / weighed a year ago." the
Fedhead confessed this morn
ing. 81 don't want to lose an

SuperfluouS poundage is blamed
for Hargrave's poor throwing and
general inability to get started
during 1880.
Because his club is confronted
with several exhibitions during
the next few days, Manager Wal
ter Johnson has effected radical
change in his pitching plans. Be-
ginning today, his singers, for the
most part, will work two-man
shifts.
Carl Fischer and Lynn Griffith,
youthful southpaws, are to go
the route against Baltimore at
Gulfport today. Fischer works
the first five frames and Griff
the remaining four.

Art Fidler, elongated Hagerstown

with Joe Smith, former Legion
naire and a Uniontown, Pa, prod

That this game will thoroughly
test the mettle of these young
men is revealed in the splendid
record Spring Hill has COM
piled against minor and major
league teams.
Walter Tauscl1er and either
Griffith or Fischer are slated to
duel Louisville here Saturday.
Tauscher will be assigned the
first five periods.
