Rebuff Follows
Two Setbacks
at Capitol.
LABOR BUILDING
TO BE VISITED
Offer to II a N d
'Army's' Petition to
Hoover Refused.

The army of 1,500 unemployed
relief demonstrators, who ad-
vanced on Washington to make
demands on Congress and Presi-
dent Hoover for Federal insurance
for the workleSs, were denied ad-
mission today to both the Capitol
and the White House.
Twice rebuffed at the Capitol in
an effort to get committee into
the building, the marchers pro-
ceeded to the White House, and
were again turned down when
representatives sought an audi
ence with the President.
Discouraged by their failure at the
Capitol, the demonstrators appeared to
be even more upset when their leader.
Herbert Benjamin, was bluntly refused
admission to the White House grounds.
No disorder developed, however. at
either the Capitol or the White House
over the failure of the unemployment
relief seekers to get their demands be-
bore Congress and the President.
Offers to Present Petition.
The 1,5oo marchers left the Capitol
shortly after IL O'Clock and reached
the White House over a circuitous
route, arriving there shortly before 80.
Lined up on the north side of Penn
SyiVania avenue facing the White
House, the marchers chanted and sang
while Benjamin conferred with police
oncials and then started for the White
House gate trailed by an aggregation
OF newspaper men and photographers
Just outside of the west gate he was
met by Richard Jeryis, chief of the
White House Secret Service, and told
that neither he nor other members of
the Unemployment Committee could see
the President. Jervis, however, offered
TO submit to the President for Benia-
min any petition he might have for
unemployment relief.
benjamin told Jervis he was not sat-
isfied with the arrangement and Thought
the President of the United States
should see the representatives of the
humble people" for which he was act
ing as spokesman. Again Jervis firmly
and politely told him ne would be glad
TO submit any written petition or state
ment the workers might have to the
President.
Confers With Leaders.
Benjamin turned dejectedly after
this statement from Jervis and said he
would discuss the proposal with other
members OF the committee. In the
middle OF Pennsylvania avenue he held
a. whispered conversation with a group
OF the leaders and few minutes later
returned and told Jervis the commit:
zee mad no written statement for the
PRESIDENT and the marchers would
make their plea in another way.
excitement was tense among the
crowd OF several thousand persons who
gathered in the vicinity of the White
House while Benjamin and Jeryis held
their sidewalk conference.
william II. Moran, chief of the United
states Secret Service, stood directly be-
hind Jervis during these deliberations
and 400 uniformed policemen remained
on guard around the White House and
grounds Another detail of uniformed
oHlcers stood by the big iron gates at
the west entrance ready to close them
IN the event Of any disorder.
Leaders Make Speeches.
After being refused admission to the
White House, the 1900 marchers stood
IN silence while two of their leaders,

BY the Associated Press.


BASEL, Switzerland, December T.
Alberto Beneduce' of Italy today was
elected president of the Young Plan
Advisory Committee studying Ger
.manys capacity to pay reparations.
The seven committee members se-
lected him after Walter w. Stewart, the
American representative, had declined
the nomination. A proposal to elect
Mr.. Stewart, 1t was understood, was
opposed by the French delegation.
Then the committee adjourned to
await the arrival of the Swiss and
Swedish representatives. M. Coffin and
M. Duritsch already are here.
Signor Beneduce's election was
compromise after Mr. Stewart had de-
cined the nomination and the corn
mittee had been unable to agree on
Emile Francqui,. the Belgian.
Mr.. Stewards refusal was interpreted
as an indication that Washington pre-
fers to remain aloof on the reparations
question, In the spirit Of the COM
munique which followed the recent
meeting between President Hoover and
Premier Laval Of France.
After selecting the chairman the
committee chose four additional mem

Poor Little Rich Man

In fact, it's no longer news
when some pauper wins one Of
the rich sweepstakes prizes.
But what would be big news,
according to our idea of news,
would be for some millionaire
to add a little spending change
to his bank roll by winning a
couple Of hundred thousand
dollars for a tiny ticket in
sweepstake which cost him in
the neighborhood of buck.
We think the best way to
describe the hysteria which has
swept the world for and in be-
half of quick millions is to say
that a man spends his money
for these tickets with the feel
ing that he never can tell
where lightning will strike.
On the various occasions we
have taken a fling at this
sweep or that, 1t has been in a
spirit of knowing there wasn't
a chance in a million of win
ming, but figuring it as good
a way as any to get rid Of an
odd dollar.
It seems that among the
poorer and less enlightened

12.-Rusty Callow, head coach
Of rowing at Pennsylvania, had
swung his ak today and as q
result four varsity oarsmen were
decapitated and four sweepers
in the junior shell were pro-
noted.
Rusty, in his four years at
Pennsylvania, has never had q
varsity winner in the intercol-
legiate association regatta here,
but back in the days when he
was coaching at Washington his
Huskies won in 1923, 1924 and
1925, and the famous coach will
make a strong bid for honors

a few critics who concede the
Quakers a chance to place.
ImprOmptu Battle
Yesterday the Quakers were
covering the course at the same

these crews clashed in an i'm
promptu battle, with the QuaKers

Cornell and Navy also had
time rows while Washington,
Wisconsin, California, M. I. I.
and Columbia took advantage
of ideal weather conditions for

The Cornell varsity did not

May Lose Cover
Byron Cover is still out Of the
Lombardi Syracuse eight and
Speaker rowed bow oar today.
Cover had an attack Of lumbago
recently and it is doubtful
whether he will be able to resume
his position until Saturday.

strokes at 40.
Coach Ulbruckson, of Washing

June 12.-Max Schmeling took
things easy today with OILY an
early morning workout, calls
themes and probably round Of
golf on the program following an
intensive session with the gloves
yesterday.
Trainers and sparring partners
at the camp of Der Make, who
meets Young Stribling in a heavy
weight title bout at Cleveland
next month. we're still chuckling
today over the advent of a Strib-
ling Spy" in the training quar-
ters yesterday.
The "spy" was Bob Hooks,
Georgia college student and Strib-
ling's sparring partner.
Recognized by Manager Joe
Adams, Hooks was ceremOni.
OusIy conducted to a rlngside
seat and allowed to witness the
full workout. He left for Strib's
training camp at Geauga Lake,
Ohio, after the workout.
Snappy punches, shortened and
carrying considerable jolt, fea-
tured Max's workout. He boxed
two rounds each with George
Panka. Tiny Debolt and Tony
Marullo. The noses of all three
were started bleeding by success
sion of straight lefthand punches,
all delivered with snappy flick
of the wrist that added power to
the wallops.
Debolt was nearly knocked out
when Max let. fly with a terrific
left cross to the head.
Panka, who used a left hand
to some advantage on Max a few
days ago, decided to try 1t again
and was almost jabbed out Of the
ring by Max. Panka also took
a heavy body beating.

HADLEY IS GIVEN
THE VICTORY

To Irving Hadley goes the
credit of winning yesterdays ball
game between the Washington
Griffmen and Cleveland Indians,
and not Lloyd Brown as many
fans seemed to believe.
Brown does not get credit for
the victory even though he was
taken out of the box in the third
inning with his team ahead, 6
to 4.
If he had been in there four
innings, he would have been the
winner today in the records. The
new rules state that if a pitcher
is removed from the game be-
cause of ineffectiveness before
the fourth inning is completed,
even though his team is ahead,
the following pitcher. who hurls
four innings or more, gets the
credit because of his effective
ness or ability to go four innings.
In Hadley's case yesterday,
Irving was effective from the
third inning on. AND ne geCS
credit for the victory even though
the Griffmen led when Brownie
went out, and we're never headed
after that time. he doesn't get a
victory added to his record.
A pitcher gets credit for win
ming, however. if he has been
taken out of the game because Of
a pinch hitter. or because he has
been hurt before the fourth in
ming with his team ahead. But
for no other reason,

BACK
IN GAME
TODAY
BY GARRETT WATERS


Joe Cronin will be back at his
shortstop post in today's game
with the Cleveland Indians, it
was intimated this morning, pro-
viding his shoulder does not
pain him too much.
Cronin, who was forced to re-
tire in yesterdays setto because
of being hit on the shoulder BY
one of Mel Harder'S shoots, was
not hurt seriously.
All of which should bring q
sigh of relief from both fans and
players who realize what Joe's
absence would mean to the
Griffs at this moment in the
penant race.
Joe May Rest
But, should Cronin need a day
Or two rest, according to John
son who does not want to take
too much of a chance of rushing
his star player, Bluege will con-
tinue at short and Jackie Hayes
at third, the positions they played
yesterday after Cronin's departure
from the game.
The third encounter Of the
series will be played with the
Cleveland Indians today. Ladies
Day should bring out a large
crowd ordinarily, but the an.
nOuncement by Manager Roger
Peckinpaugh that Wesley Fer.
rell, nO-hit pitcher, would do
slab duty, should fill the park.
Carl Fischer, brilliant young
left-hander, is to oppose Ferrel,
according to the plans. The
Griffs will be out to make it
seven straight. They made it six
in row yesterday by tanning the
Indians, IL to 5, before an en-
thuSiastic audience.
Lloyd Lefty Brown started on
the mound but found OUT it was
not his day with the result that
johnson sent Irving Hadley into
the box in the third inning. It
was the pitchers first start as
either a starter or finisher since
Memorial Day.
Bump Goes Well
Bump handled himself excep-
tionally well. as he granted but
three hits, one by Pinch Hitter
Falk, in the six and one-third in
nings he pitched.
He showed his mettle eSpe-
cialIy in the fifth when he
famed both Morgan and VOs-
mix, Indian sluggers, with two
baSe-runnerS on the paths.
Jackie Hayes also got into the
game when Cronin retired. He
played third base, as Bluege was
moved to short. He turned in a
good game.
The Indians started Clint
Brown on the mound to make the
contest a Battle of the Browns, "
at the outset. But Clint was
roughed out of the picture before
the first inning was over when
hits by Myer, Kuhel and Spencer,
and walks to Cronin and Harris,
netted four runs.
Hit Thomas Hard
Mel Harder took his place and
hurled excellently until being re-
moved for a pinch hitter in the
seventh. Against Thomas the
Griffs put the game safely in the
bag. Five runs were scored off OF
this pitcher in the seventh and
eighth.
BY being walked on his first ap-
pearance at the bat. and thumped
on the shoulder on his next turn,
Joe Cronin was not credited with
an official time at the plate. This
keeps his consecutive game hitting
streak intact. He still has a
record of hitting safely in his last
18 games.
