Moratorium Breathing Spell.
If you believe that the collapse of
Germany would have been disastrous
to Europe, and that this In turn would
have been disastrous to us, so that the
years moratorium was necessary to
avert the crisis-and believe it was
then why not face the fact also that
all the moratorium did was to avert the
crisis, that it is only a breathing spell,
and that the real and momentouS prob
lem will come when the year is up,
and when our nation and the nations
of Europe alike must determine what
their future welfare requires with re-
spect to international obligations?
If you believe that the StupendouS
growth of electric power and the unity
and dominance Of its control require
governmental Intervention lest natural
resources be exploited, then before
rushing headlong into public owner
ship as the cure, why not examine in
stances where it has been tried and see
whether If these had to stand on their
own feet, with no governmental credit
or general accounts behind them, pay
ing their own taxes and their own way
owned enterprises must do-whether in
these events they will not nearly al
ways show operating deficits which the
already oyerburdened general taxpay-
ers must make up?
If some of us in the beginning be-
lieved in the eighteenth amendment

temperance in any way? Why not
face the fact that the last state Is

Wickersham Accomplishment.
The Wickersham Commission did
what I regard as a stupendous piece
of work thoroughly well done, and yet
they submitted q unanimous decision
to which nearly all the judges who
concurred in 1t filed strong individual
opinions dissenting from it-and it
is in these individual opinions that
the facts are given, clear, palpable
and incontrovertible.
close with the plea that In trying
to overcome the industrial depression
which surrounds us, we try to over
come the depression in our oid-time
virtues Of fact-facing and truth
Let us remember that "the fault,
dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but
in ourselves" A bar whose British
progenitors checked executive usurpa-
ton in sixteenth and seventeenth
century England, a bar which in
nineteenth century America made
our government q government Of
law and not Of men, cannot now
confine itself to pleading and to prac-
tice. It cannot ignore its traditions
of political as well as juristic leader
ship. It is the rightful trustee Of
American institutions, Of our system
of ordered liberty and dual sovereignty.
It is the rightfill guardian Of our po-
Iitical precepts and ideals. Through
the fearless and courageous fulhllment
of those trusts, the American bar can
preserve and enrich our national
future as it has glorifled and en-
shrined our national past.

1000 OHIO MINERS
TO STRIKE TUESDAY

Discharges Among Union
Demands.
BY the Associated Press.

ATHENS, Ohio, September ia
strike of 1000 miners employed by the
Sunday Greek Coal Co. in the local
field, effective Tuesday, was ordered
today by United Mine Workers on
Gals unless the company meets union
demands.
The miners demand the right to
name a check weighman from outside
the miner-employe list, but company
officials contend they have complied
with State mining laws covering the
point. The workers also seek to halt
alleged discharge of men for joining
the union and reduction of wages.
Lee Hall, president Of District No 8,
United Mine Workers, said the strike
order followed a meeting Of 81 union
delegates at Glouster last night.

But titles are won and lost
only in the ring, and although
Mickey Walker is not recognized
as the titleholder either by the
National Boxing Association or
by the New York boxing commits
sion because he prefers to mlngle
with the heavyweights, Dundee's
title claim will remain a
synthetic one unless he beats
Walker or the latter relinquishes
his diadem.
Mickey Bid $4,000
The N. B. A. undoubtedly will
recognize Vince as the champ
without further ado.
William MuldOon, dean of
the New York board, is in
favor of doing the same thing
if Walker declines to accept
Vince's challenge, but the two
other members of the Gotham
commission believe that Dundee
should first dispose of Harry
Smith and Gorilla Jones, negro
cOntenderS.
Max Waxman, Dundee's man
ager, said today he would guar
antee Walker $4,000 for q titular
match with Vince. Madison
Square Garden has tied up Dun
dee for the next year and would

Dundee's first bout with Harvey
was close and last nights encore
was even closer.

Smart, Smarter, smartest

We were chatting with a big,
burly son of Erin, when a child
of Jacob stepped up and jok-
ingly accosted him:
"YOu know the quickest S.
you ever lost in your life?
It was that time right at
this ringside, when WhOOzus
was fighting Whambus, and it
was in the bag for WhOOzus to
win, and 1 took you for a bet
just as the opening bell sounded
and Whambus was knocked out
on the first blow struck"
"That blankety, blank, blank,
blank burns me up about that
bet every time he sees me, but
he's paid for it a dozen times
over and doesn't know it," said
the big Mick, out of the side of
his mouth.
"Y'u 'znOw, I'm sort of unOf-
ficiaI Handicapped on the Sun

and he always comes to me to
find out the official odds.

JOE JUDGE
! MAY LEAVE
EARLY.
BY JOE HOLMAN

Less than 10 days from now,
on February %, to be explicit,
the first squadron of Washing
ton club players will head for
their spring training base at
Biloxi. Miss. Although pitchers
will comprise the brunt of the
expedition, several veteran regu-
lars also are expected to report
early.
Capt. Joe Judge, for instance.
is not expected to show up until
March 6. But he today admitted
that he is seriously considering
going with the contingent that
checks out of Union Station
Monday week.
In Good Trim
I'm in splendid shape but
figure a little early work won't
hurt me-" is his way Of putting
it. II want to get my legs in
trim for q hard season and ex-
erciSe alone will turn the trick"
Judge, who has put in a win
ter of extensive training at the
Jewish Community Center, may
be joined shortly by Third Base
man OsSie Bluege, whose custom
it is to motor to his wife's North
Carolina home and make the rest
of the trip by rail.
The party leaving Washington,
as usual, will be supervised by
Col. Bill. Smith and Manager
Walter johnson. Pitcher Irving
Hadley, Uncle Nick Altrock,
Coach AL Schacht and several
others are expected to form the
southward expedition leaving here.
Another early bird who is GER
tain to report along with the
pitchers is Outfielder Sam West,
who is to get special training at
tention. Sans sore left arm, in
iured in training last spring, will
be watched closely by Trainer
Mike Martin and he will not be
allowed to use it until midway in
the exhibition campaign.
Martin Clicks
Martin, by the way. so i'm
pressed with his splendid condi-
tioning of the athletes last spring,
that he will again supervise the
entire lot of players. That is,
with the exception of Bump Had
ley, who will be handled by Mana
ger Walter johnson.
Walter believes that Martin,
who leaves here February FL,
will have enough responsibility
on his hands, and plans per
sOnally introducing some new
wrinkles into Hadley'S routine.
Last spring Sir Mique. under
periodically unfavorable weather
conditions, whipped his men into
shape admirably. So thorough
was his task, in fact, that the
Griffmen got away to fine regu-
lar season start without so much
as casualty.
One athlete on whom Martin
will center his attention is big
Fred Marberry, who is to boil out
at Hot Springs before checking in.
The liniment king. in the past,
has worked wonders with Fred's
physical conditioning.

Gamblers Must Bet

AS far as that is concerned,
some people will bet on any
thing-particularly those who
live by their wits-but it was
the first time we know of that
a sport couldn't be an estab-
lished success until the gentry
which talks out of the side of
it's mouth put the official o.
K. on it.
So it's the gamblers who
have put wrestling across in
Washington, eh?
They attach themselves to
it, establish probable odds and
otherwise create city-Wide in
terest therein and cause the
bettors to come around to
watch the matches, and to OBJ
serve the form of the various
athletes the better to know
whom to back against whom
and at what likely price.
am at the same time inform
ed that the betting is not of the
plunging variety-mostly from
$40 down to ST. with So about
the normal bet.
The gamblers like to jibe each
other about their previous losses
and no little kidding goes on
among them as they stand
around, first on one foot and
then the other. An example at
hand:

PRINCIPALS

CHANCES

Just exactly why Central and
Eastern failed to get together in
a play-off for the interhigh series
basketball championship has puz-
zled many followers of the
respective schools. Also outside
observers.
Also some wonderment was
caused when it was announced
that the five principals had
unanimously voted to forego the
game that would puncture the
deadlock and produce a real title
holder.
It has been reliably learned,
however, that this action was
taken as diplomatic measure.
Suppose, for instance, the play
off had taken place in the Tech
gymnasium.
Tech IncenSed
Tech students and rooters, in
censed at their schools series for
feiture to Central, which figured
smartly. in giving the Blue and
White a championship tie, u1-
doubtedly would have thrown
their sympathies toward Eastern.
And probably Central would have
been the butt of much undue
"razzing" and abuse.
Under the circumstances it is
not unreasonable to presume that
other schools also would have
Joined in the demonstration and
all in allan unhealthy Situa-
tiOn might have been created.
Back in 1927 the series ended in
a furry of fists and general riot
ing when Western and Central,
in the heat of a spirited game,
forgot basketball momentarlly and
substituted pugilism. Though sew
eral games remained to be played
the school heads cancelled the Sc
ries abruptly.
Wishing to avoid a possible
repetition of that scene the five
principals therefore unanimously
against play-off when they
banded together in conference
midway of this week.
Competition BOOms
All in all, their decision may
have been a prudent one.
Despite the general financial
depression, District interhigh
athletic competition continues
to boom. The recent interhigh
basketball series, for instance,
played to splendid crowds and
was a success, anyway you take
it.
Unusual interest exhibited in
these events may be traced, more
or less directly, to two things:
reasonable admission charge and
ultra-spirited competition.
Seldom does a local interhigh
sports event of any kind fail to
produce the ultimate in spirit and
fair play.

tonight. Western Maryland plays
Maryland in the Ritchie gym at

Virginia opposes Catholic Univer-

Coach Chick Gagnon and his
c. P. paSSers have returned home
after a disastrous road "Trip, but
hope to get back into StIide by
taking the measure of the Cava-
l1ers tonight.
The VirginianS were easy for
Maryland in the latter's baili-
wick last night, the College
Parkers plastering a 34-21 de-
feat on the visitors from the
Old Dominion State. The Cava-
liers were far OutcIassed and
never endangered the Mary
landerS.
Virginia broke into a 40 lead
at the outset, but the Maryland
boys began firing at the enemy
goal, and were so effective that
the Virginia cause was hopeless.
Maryland left the floor at inter
mission holding a 1912 margin.
Block Play Effective
This advantage was boosted to
32-17 during the second half be-
fore Coach Burton Shipley hoisted
his regulars. Maryland worked
the block play in exceptional style
and limited the opponents to
seven field goals, beside.
Teddy Hughes, athletic direc-
tor at Gallaudet College, an.
nOunces that his school has
never scheduled a game with
Southeastern University for
tonight.
