England people mean financial re-
sources from New England equally.
I'VE all know that New England con-
tinueS to be a plenteouS reservoir of
money, due to the thrift Of our people,
as witnessed by the continued growth
Of deposits In our savings banks. This
money, however, is by no means in
vested in New England enterprises to
the extent it should be. Even the new
enterprises in New England are not very
largely financed at home, in spite Of
the wide distribution Of the securities
Of. let US say, New England public
utilities.
Accordingly, the realization Of Mr..
EaStmans ideal-and a highly desirable
ideal 1t is-must be preceded by proc
esS of education which will teach the
accumulated dollars of New England to
leap from their strong boxes into the
treasury of a New England system of
railroads.
Differ ON U. S. Operation.
Eastman possesses an unexcelled
knowledge of the railroad structure OF
the country, but he and do not share
the same views regarding some founda-
mentals of railroading-notably Gov
eminent operation; but feel sure that
the original grouping of railroads under
the ESch- Cummins. act which assume
was very largely the work Of Mrs. East
man, was far more comprehensive and
beneficial to New England than the
more recent proposals which have been
made by the railroads themselves and
which, I suppose, we might designate
aS the four -power plan.
1.-THE railroads Of New England will
need money! great deal of money
in the next 10 years for equipment and
betterFnents OF all Kinds. Where VIII
proposals which have been put forward?
The man who can answer this question
adequstely will deserve at the cross
roads of New England more memorials
than now in Old England marking the
Journey Of the body of the famous me-
dieval Queen"

as well, are thoroughly conversant with
these and other phases of our party
and personal affairs, and as one Demo-
crat shall await with confidence the
Judgment touching the wise, sane ar
sound party cost"
Like MorrOw's Idea.
Senator Walsh Of Montana was askc;
what he thought Of the Raskob pro.
posal and letters to the National Com.
mittee.
IT have no comment to make" said
Senator Walsh, ION the wisdom or I'M
wisdom of thO course suggested by Mr.
Raskob. But It's implications ought to
be plainly understood. He proposes,
as I understand it, not the repeal Of
the eighteenth amendment, but an
amendment of 1t, under which each
State would enjoy the right TO deter
mine whether it should be dry or wet
That Is exactly the result which would
follow If the amendment were repealed
and the proposal is plainly q proposal
to repeal the eighteenth amendment.
In that respect it is quite like the
Morrow idea, much lauded Mr.. Nor
row, according to my recollection. pro-
ment be repealed, but that it be
amended so as to give the Federal
Government the power to legislate only
in relation to importationS and expor-
tations of intoxicating liquors for bev-
erage purposes and the transfer of the
same from one State to another.
Corruption Phase Cited.
"But in the same manner II the
eighteenth amendment were repealed,
the Federal Government would have
the authority, as 1t had and exercised
it before the eighteenth amendment, to
deal with 1mportationS and expectations
Of and interstate commerce In intoxi-
eating liquors.
The referendum idea is one which
makes strong appeal. But the tactful
legislator will have in mind the un-
limited sums of money which would be
available. on one side at least, and be
expended in such contest, the cor
rupting influence of which would be
beyond measure"
Senator Walsh Of Montana has been
regarded as dry in the past and pre-
sided as chairman over the Democratic
National Convention at Madison Square
Garden in 1924, when the liquor is
sue faced seriously split the Democratic
party.
The only comment of Senator Walsh
Of Massachusetts, on the Raskob letter
to the National Committee was that he
thought 1t within the rights of the
chairman to poll the committee on
this question.

PENNANT RACES
CONCLUDED

One of the dullest pennant
races in the history of the Ma
tional League was dead as a
mackerel today, only a dead
mackerel would be more excit'
ing.
The st. Louis Cardinals be
came pennant winners for the
second straight season and the
fourth time in six years yester'
DAY as they humbled the wretch
ed Phillies, 6 to 8. The Cards
held the front seat in the long
grind ever since late in April.
The Redbirds will meet the
Philadelphia Athletics in the
world series, starting October
l at st. Louis.
The Giants could not have
looked worse when dropping a
Gouble-header to Cincinnati. Red
Lucas was quite too much for
the New Workers and won the
opener, 7 to 8. The Giants got
almost twice as many hits as the
Reds in the nightcap, but lost
4 to 3, as Sukeforth singled in
Hendrick with the run that
counted most.
Earnshaw was better than Fer.
rell and the champion Athletics
won again, defeating Cleveland,
7 to 5. It was the AS Tooth
success.

doubles No. 81 and SO to flip

PLANS To Use
MONAGHAN
AS BACK

His backfield shattered by fail
ure of veterans to return, Head
Coach Teddy Hughes, Of Gal
laudet, may transfer Capt. Bilbo
Monaghan, star end, to the back
field.
Hughes will not definitely de-
eide upon this move until he has
appraised the incoming backfield
material as we'll as the reserve
ball-carriers from last season.
Hughes was dealt a blow when
Johnny Ringle, fullback and de-
fensive ace; Konrad HokanSon,
quarterback, and Paul Zieske.
halfback, accepted coaching posi-
tionS elsewhere rather than re-
sumo their studies at Gallaudet.
Monaghan, easily one of the
outstanding players in District
college ranks last year, is one
ce Hughes best bets. Not only
has he a lot of heart, but he
knows the end play well.
If he can be taught how to
carry the ball as we'll as side
step and how to cut-back, Cap
tain Monaghan may solve some
of Hughes problems.
Line LATERAL Aplenty
Hughes who is being assisted
by Wally Krug. is fortified with
line material. John Wurdeman,
guard. is the only regular missing.
but his shoes will be hard to
fill Ray Sheriff.. reserve guard,
has also been lost.
Present for yesterdays drill
were Captain Monaghan, Anton
O'Branovich, reserve halfback;
Rudolph Gamblin, reserve tackle;
Marion Bradley, regular end;
Adolphus Yoder, regular end; Ce-
Gil Davis, regular guard: Andrew
HnatoW. reserve halfback. Ken
meth Burdette, reserve center, and
Emil Ladner, reserve tackle.
Regulars and reserves ex-
pected to report today or to-
morrow are KOzier, regular
tackle; Stack, regular center;
Williams, the only lnan left
from last years regular back
field four; Antila, regular guard;
Crockett, reserve halfhack;
Travis, reserve halfback; Sven
ningsen, reserve halfbaCk, and
Rayhill, reserve haIfback.
Freshmen entering Gallaudet
with good football regulations are
Walnoka, fullback. from Illinois;
Roop. halfback, from Virginia;
Jensen, guard. from the State of
Washington; Payne, a Lneman,
and DELPHI, a halfback. Of these
Walnoka is considered the best,
and some of his boosters assert he
is another Ringle, whicn remains
to be seen.

October Is Big Day

In this stadium all of Vir-
sinia's important games will
be played. In addition to
this field, two practice fields
of regulation size are avail
able for various freshmen and
interclass elevens, while the
varsity has been using Lam
beth Field. with it's 4,500 seat
ing capacity. for practice pur-
poses since September l. Vlr-
rinia and v. M. I. dedicate the
Scott Stadium on Saturday,
October Is. and they are ex-
pecting a large smattering of
alumni from Washington. To
us, that seems quite a layout
for football alone, and indi-
Gates Virginia intends to go
places and do things upon the
gridiron.
But do Virglnia's athletic
ambitions stop there? No!
Virginia has Memorial gym
nasium that looks more in size
and architecture like the War
College, in Washington, than
anything that comes to mind.
BY it's side is a mirror lake with
9,736,4 ,423,211 goldfish flashing
through its placid depths.
Hard by and at either end Of
the. gymnasium, my friends,
are 80 brand-new tennis courts,
erected at a cost of $4,000.
One-third of this amount was
given by Lady Astor, native
Virginian, and the remainder
by the University.
And that's only a part of
Virginia's sports equipment
and we find ourselves coming
to the end of this piece with
out even mentioning this years
football team. which has three
washington boys as candidates.
We shall come to the football
team tomorrow, its personnel
and it's coaches,

Not Easy to Forget

Whatever chance there ever
may have been for Georgetown
and Virginia again playing foot
ball was definitely smothered
sometime back when an inter
view appeared in a New York
newspaper quoting a George
town source as saying the Blue
and Gray was happy it had
moved out of the caliber OF Vlr-
ginia football.
Virginia won't forget that
crack for many a day. however
true it may have been.
But Virginia meanwhile is In
a position to do big things IN
a football way. and indeed IS
already doing same.
In the first place on its 1000
acres in the shadow OF Mt.
jefferson, Monticello an d
Ragged Mountain, it is just
completing a concrete stadium
seating $1,000 people. The
stadium is the gift of Frederick
w. Scott, rector of the uni
versity, anG has been erected
at the cost of $35O,O00. In an
other year an additional $780,
600 will be devoted to erecting
colonnades around the great
oval and later a field house
will occupy the southernmost
end.

PICKED
TO- BEAT

SMITH
BY GEORGE Won ELM

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Sept. IT
I don't spend much time on the
golf links excepting when I am
playing myself, but I got a great
kick out of watching Gene Sara
zen hit the ball in the profeS
sional championship yesterday
There is no man in the tourna
ment who Is playing quite sc
we'll as the Italian-American, and
I look for him to go to the final
stages of this championship.
Gene is my choice to beat Hor
ton Smith today. A year or Sc
ago when Smith was winning
everything in sight, no one would
have had the nerve to pick Gene
to beat him so definitely; but
Horton isn't himself at all. even
though he beat Willie MacFar
lane so comfortably.
Smith Off Game
In Smiths case it is impossl
BILE to predict what kind OF a
round he will have from DAY
to day. yet I think it is safe to
saw that no man can play as
hadlv as he did against Mac
Farlane yesterday and hope Co
beat Gene Sarazen the next day
You can't come on your game
quite so suddenly.
Cyril Walker is q hard man
to beat at match play. Johnny
Golden found that out yester-
day; 1 think Tom CreaVy Will
discover it today.
Walker is the type OF goi1ei
who gets better with success, ano
if for no other reason, think
he has too much experience for
the youngster from Albany. /
picked four out Of eight winners
in the second round-Sarazen
Creavy, Burke and Armour.
Today my selections are Sara
zen to beat Smith, Walker to
beat Tom Creavy, Armour to beat
Schultz and Burke to beat Espi'
noSa.
Burke is too good around the
greens for Espinosa, particularly
since Abe is likely to be celebrat,
ing his defeat of Bill Mehlhorn
Classic of Day
That match between Abe and
Bill was the classic of the day;
they were like two fighters
squaring off for a 10-round bout.
1t may not have been golf OF
good sportsmanship, but they
certainly gave the spectators a
thrill.

IL L4Sy VI 0NCA OuI w ONSAS SAo"A
Today the newest Griff will not
work out, but play. He is Johnny
Gill, recently acquired from the
Baltimore Orioles. Gill was Of
dered to report yesterday when
it was found Owner Weiss of the
Orioles could spare him.
The youngster was not to have
reported until next week. But the
Orioles are about out of the run
ming in the race for the Interna-
tional League pennant at this
time, which affords Gill his op-
portunity to show off before local
fans.
The slugging outfielder will be
placed at one of the outfield posi-
tions in today's opening game
against the Detroit Tigers. Man
ager Johnson is undecided as to
what position it will be, but it is
believed it will be in left field in
ManuSh's place, despite the fact
that Heine played yesterday.
All Eyes ON YOungster
Manush could still use a couple
of days rest before the important
New York series which comes
along next week at the Yankee
Stadium. So it's safe conten-
ton to believe that Manush will
be the player to drop out OF the
outfield to make room for Gill.
Naturally all eyes will be on
the yOungster to see if he is as
good as all the reports have
indicated. Gill could become
solid with the fans by SOcking
out one or two extra base hits,
which are supposed to be his
chief forte. His debut i'm every
way will be an interesting one.
General Alvin Crowder, al
though not as steady as in recent
past performances, won his seven
teenth pitching triumph of the
season yesterday when he worked
seven innings against the St.
Louis Browns in the final game
of the year with that team. The
Griffs won by score of 6 to 2.
The General gave up nine hits
before he retired. The Browns
could only bunch them in two in
nings, however. to score. There
were in the second and seventh
frames. A double steal aided
them in the first-named scoring
inning. 1t was worked by Melillo
and Levey, Melillo counting from
third.
Judge Comes Through
In the seventh, Bengough, Levy
and Schultz singled, the latter's
hit driving across the run before
Crowder put on the brakes. Man
ager johnson sent Joe Judge to
the plate to bat for Crowder in the
last part of the seventh. Cap
tain" came through with single.
counting Spencer, who was on
third by virtue of his opening sin
gle and Schulte's error.
Big Fred Marberry pitched the
eighth and ninth for the GriffS.
He set the Brownies down with
out a run, although touched for
a double by KreSs in the eighth.
The victory, by the way, marked
the eighth straight for Crowder as
we'll as his mentioned seventeenth
triumph for the season. Quite a
nice record for the general, in
view of his disastrous work earlier
in the year.
