Pinch Hitting for Henry McLemore
+ NEW YORK, Dec. 30. U.P)-The
Dizzy Daffodils of Brooklyn will
be less dizzy and daffy next year.
whether or not they play better
baseball.
! That, dearly beloved listeners, is
adduced from today's announce
ment that there will be no Havana
junket for the Brooklyn baseball
boys next spring, and that the ex-
Daffodils will actually participate
in contests against major league
clubs instead of sandlot teams: be-
fore the official season opens.
They were a cheerfully lackadais-
ical lot of young fellows, those
Robins Of last year. Easy-going
Old Uncle Wilbert Robinson let
them do as they chose, come when
they pleased and go where they
liked. They could sit on the warm
sands of Cuba or bathe in the linn
pid waters of the bay. They could
enjoy midday siestas and moon
light fiestas. Life was Just one
untroubled song
Came spring, and Uncle Wilbert S
boys meandered northward, stop
ping now and then to jest a little
with the scrub teams of the fair
south's meadow lots. They came
into Brooklyn fat and brown and
handsome, but little wearied with
the thought of going to work.
But now Uncle Wilbert, after SO
years Of playing baseball as though
it were fun instead of baseball, is
hunting on his vast estate at Dover
Hall, Georgia He has servants
who call him "Cunnel' instead of
Uncle" and probably he is wish
ing he were back in the harness-a
light, trotting harness it would have
to be-once again. But instead of
Uncle Wilbert there is a younger
man named Max Carey, and he's
nobodys uncle.
So there's going to be no trip to
Cuba. no visit to Hawaii, no Med
iterranean or Caribbean cruise in
1882. Just lot of hard work.
And when the hard work of the
spring training trip is over, there'll
be harder preseason schedule to
meet, without much gentle humor
in it for the boys that play it,
One feels sorry for Uncle Wilbert,
the last of his tribe. From now on,
business is business. They say that
when Uncle Wilbert gave up his
post, he grumbled a lot
Here been at it only so years"
he said, land they told me it would
be a permanent job
At any rate, they're looking for
a new name for the dizziness boys
something that will please the
Brooklyn fans, than which there
Is none whicher, and something
that will be characteristic of the
new pep, vim, vigor, vitality, come
seven-hit-a -natchal spirit that MI

students.

HELD UNNECESSARY

House Republicans Plan to
Speed Appropriation
Measures.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
House Republican leaders plan to
speed appropriation measures to pre-
vent an extra session. Speaker Long
worth today outlined the program.
Appropriation of $45,0o0,O0O for
drought relief, deficiency bill to cover
unexpected demands on various depart
mentS and the annual supply bill of the
War Department are to be placed before
the House for action Monday. .
While sentiment apparently is grow
ing, particularly among the Democrats,
for some sort of payment Of the war
service compensation certificates, the
Republicans expect q Vestal bill to re-
wise the copyright laws and the Capper-
Kelly resale price bill to take right Of
way.
Hope is held for an agreement on
Muscle Shoals. The leaders also are
plannfns+.to dispose Of the lame duck
session resolIrfc4av but favor a limit to
the length Of the seconH session under
the Norris proposal.
The administrator leaders in the
Senate expressed confidence today, even
in the face of new opposition threats,
that the necessary business OF Con-
gress could be completed by March
and an extra session avoided.
An impression was current there
would be statement shortly from
President Hoover on his intentions re-
garding the World Court The leaders
have held that definite assurance he
would not call a special session for its
ratification would simplify disposal of
the legislative program.
BrOOkhart Threatens Extra Session.
The new Eastern railroad consolida-
ton plan brought a fresh extra session
lican, Iowa, who said he would do all
can do to force an extra session to
obtain an investigation" unless the
House passed the CouzenS resolution to
suspend all rail unification for a period.
Besides Brookhart, Senators Borah,
Republican, Idaho, and Caraway, Demo-
crat, Arkansas, have said an extra ses-
sion should be held, but there has been
no indication of concerted effort for a
f1libuster.
Adding to the task of IL appropria-
ton bills it must pass-three of them
already through the House-the Senate
will begin Tuesday an independent
survey of the unemployment and
drought relief situation to determine
whether its members wish to push legis-
lation not included in the administra-
tons emergency program. The latter
was completed before the Christmas
recess.
The survey, to be conducted through
hearings of the Appropriation Commit
tee, was ordered after President Hoover
had told the Senate he had no report
to submit from Chairman Woods of the
Employment Committee.

President Regrets SeCre-
tary's Resignation-Not to
Fill Vacancy Before Jan. Is.

The successor to George Akerson, who

dent Hoover, may be selected from the

came known today. MIR. Akerson's resig-
nation was announced yesterday by the
President in sSSept position

st reported higher salary than he is
now receiving.
The President made iEpsaia that he
regrets losing the service of MI Aker-
son, and indicated he had no one in
mind to appoint to succeed him. He
gave the impression today that he will
not reach decision before January is.
The impression given by Mr.. Hoover
is that his first impulse would be to
seek Mr.. Akerson's successor within the
ranks of the Washington newspaper
correspondents, the majority of whom
the President is well acquainted with
from his long public service in the
Capital. However, he has said moth
ing that would imply that he is deter
mined to follow this impulse when the
times comes.
In submitting his resignation, Mr..
AkerSon stipulated no time for 1t to
take effect He merely mentioned
sometime in the near future
Already speculation as to Mr.. Aker-
sons successor is rampant. These ru-
mcrs include the name of former Sen
ator Henry j. Allen of Kansas, close
personal friend OF the President, who
was defeated for the Senate In the No
vember elections. Friends of Senator
Allen said today he has told them he
would be compelled to decline the place
If it was offered.
Other names included in this specu-
lation are George Barr Baker, magazine
writer and intimate of the President;
A. H. Kirchhofer, managing editor OF
