STERILIZATION WAS NOT WANTED nv TmR
STRONGER cEL COMPANIES
We could not gee sterilization in the OH Business
because the bigger and stronger companies did
not want sterilization.
They could count the profits they made from
the constantly recurring periods of distress when
they could buy out first the little producer and
then the little re6ner at their own price.
OIL IS QUIZ MOST IMPORTANT MEANS OF
NATIONAL DEFENSE
Oil is our most important munition of war.
Its exhaustion not only invites other nations
to make war upon us but handicaps us in the
conduct of war.
II would not require even the intellect of
child to know that the Federal Government posses.
ses the necessary power to prevent the needless
waste of oil, but the big oil companies had their
lawyers say that the Federal Government had
such power, and when their own lawyers could
not make good enough case, they went out
and hired outside lawyers to tell everybody the
same story.
This kind of talk can silence children but
should not silence grown up people very long.
WE ARE THE ONLY NATION THAT DOES NOT
MAKE OIL A MATTER OF NATIONAL
ACTIVITY
The chief object of the diplomacy of every other
civilized Nation insthe World is Oil, but our
Nation simply ''passes the buck'' and wastes our
resources.

ten years and have said great deal, and defy
anyone to point to a single statement have made

have no fight with our Federal officials who
have been afraid TO take firm stand on this oil
matter, for doubt if they would have gotten any
place in fight with great line of Oil BarOns, but
the situation has now gotten 50 bad that many of
these Oil Barons themselves frightened and,
believe, now is the time to strike.

Sea VS.. Mountains

Be that as it may, and all
that sort of fol-de-rol, if it's as
warm a week from tomorrow as
1t is at the moment these lines
are being dedicated to a brand
new gridiron season, a lot Of
boys will be wishing they had
gone in for ice hockey, rather
than touchdoWning.
Which brings us to a thought
we have had under out hat FOR
some time, but which heretofore
we have not been prone to dis
cusS. We have done no little
wondering-and if you think we
aren't an expert in getting into
such frances you ought to drop
up some time and catch us in a
daze-as to the practicability OF
training football teams at a
watering place rather than in
the mountains.
This may sound strange COM
ing from the head of one who
has enjoyed so many early fall
sojourns in this saltwater resort
and that, but what we have in
mind is entirely impersonal. but
from straight down, deep in the
heart.
It has ever been Dur expert
ence that teams taking 20 camp
in September at this shore, put
in their preliminary work under
temperature nothing like that
in which they play their sched-
ule.
The Washington times., 1931-09-11
Baseball VS.. Football

Briefly it IS ever warm in
September, unless you are in
the Northland or in the nearby
mountains, and when it is
warm inland the same sun that
beats down there beats down
twice as mercilessly near the
water. Give us hot day in
Washington, for instance, and
we'll show you one almost twice
as depressing on the brink
You may say there is often
a breeze by the water. True,
but the teams don't train
within a mile of the water and
often as much as five miles
away from it where the mos
quitoes go to avoid the breeze
and to lie in wait for a pos
Sible blood TRANSMISSION.
II it is reasonable for the
major league ball clubs to train
in a warm climate in order to
be acclimated to the summers
toll ahead, isn't it just as
reasonable to train a football
team in the mountains where
the temperature at least ap-
proximates that of the autumnal
afternoons to come?

Jordan was shipped back to

figured he would get more eX-
perience than sitting around on
the Washington clubs bench. He
went with an option attached.
New Players Arrive Soon
Jordan looked very good at bat
while the Griffmen were in train
ing at Biloxi last spring. In fact,
he displayed so much promise and
power, that he was kept over
others under consideration.
His work at Newark this year
fills Griff and johnson wi h
smiles these days when they real
ize, they have an option on the
youngSter-and that he will be
available for trial once again.
Fans who travel out to Grif-
filth Stadium in the near future
will have a chance to look over
one or two new players lined
up by Uncle Clark Griffith.
Bill AndruS, infielder-Outfielder
from Chattanooga, is due to re-
pert Monday, while Gordon
Phelps, the chubby catcher, is
slated to show up from YOungs-
town.
Walter Masters, the University
of Pennsylvania recruit, is already
in town. He reported to Man,
ager Johnson yesterday and took
short workout before the game.
He's been at Chattanooga during
the past month.
Others are scheduled to blow
in shortly. They include Fred.
erick, a pitcher, and Travis, a
third baseman, both secured from
Chattanooga in a recent cash
deal. Frederick is quite a pitcher,
according to Griff, while Travis is
big infielder who can both
field and hit.

CONSTRUCTION
VS.. G.P.O. TO-DAY

A hard-fought game is expected
today, when the ConstructioneerS
and the Government Printing
Office mines cross bats in the
seventh game of the weekday
play-off series. The game will
take place at the usual time and
place, which is Ais on the South
Ellipse.
Yesterday the Eldbrooke and
Commerce mines put on a. fine
exhibition. For the greater part
of the game it looked as if the
Commerce would win again and
give themselves a comfortable
lead over the other contenders
for the title. In the ninth inning,
however, the Churchmen took
advantage of one of Pitcher Tay-
lor's weak moments and smashed
across three runs, to tie the
score and make a play-off neces-
sary. This play-off will take
place in the near future.
The Commerce team began
their scoring spree early in the
game, with one rum in the third
and fourth inning and two in
the fifth. In spite Of the single
marker that the EldbrOOke team
chalked up in the sixth, the
commencement felt that they
had the game on ice.
They changed their minds, how
ever, in the ninth inning, when
Scheele, Thompson, Hunt, and
Freeman knocked out four sue
cessive hits which were trans
lated into three runs and tie
score.
Up to this time Shout" Tay-
lor had granted the Church team
but five bingles. Freeman, twirl-
ing for the Church nine, gave
but eight hits and would prob
ably have won the game, had not
his teammates made some very
untimely errors.
In today's game the Printers
have a good chance to tie the
commencement for first place if
they win, while the best the Con.
structioneers can hope for 10 q
tie for first with Eldbrooke.

With game No. safely tucked
away as q result Of yesterdays
5-to-3 victory over the Cleveland
Indians, the Griffmen are out to
make it three in a row at this
time in the series with their
rivals.
1--WE must grab every contest
we can at this stage Of the
race" says Manager Walter
johnson, because the idea is
to draw away from the Yankees
as soon as possible TN the bat

. half a game ON them by yes
terdAy's win and that means .
lot"
Winning from the western
clubs, especially when percentage
points can be gained on the
Yankees, is a topic of much dis
cussion among the Griffmen these
days.
Marberry and Jones
They still are anxious about
the runner-up berth and only are
waiting for the day when the
position will be cinched. Thus
the reasons for the strong play
they realize they must put up
in order to beat out the Yankees.
Manager johnson, in the idea
of keeping up the winning ways
of the club against the Western
invaders plans sending Fred
Marberry and Sam Jones to
the mound in the remaining
two games against Manager
Peckinpaugh'S men.
Both Big Fred and Sad Sam
have been going well Of late, eSpe-
cially the latter, and it is the
thought of johnson that this pair
are his best bets to throw against
the Indians.
No Game Today
There will be no game to-
day. It has been set aside as
an off-day by the schedule
makers, who don't think about the
ladies at all. Still, the absence Of
a game today will give Manager
Johnson'S team a nice rest-some-
thing they can use right now, in
view Of the strenuous times
they've had of it during the past
two weeks.
Yesterdays game was inter
eSting, for no other reason
than that it brought Lefty
Lloyd Brown into the Eimelight
as another winning pitcher for
Manager Johnson.
Because of the heat, Brownie
faltered in the ninth inning. and
had to be rescued by Bump Had
ley. But in the final check-up,
he hurled nicely and deserved to
win.
The Indians collected IL hits
off Brownie all told. He was
always able to keep important
scores from crossing the plate,
however, until the ninth. Bump
Hadley's rescue work of tanning
Earl Averill. the first batter to
face him, was timely.
Myer Hits
Mel Harder and Sarge George
Connally hurled for the Indians.
The Griffs counted three times
off Of the former and twice off
the latter-these last named runs
proving to be the margin IS
things turned out.
Buddy Myer led the Griffs at
bat with three hits. The little
fellow is pounding the ball of
late and most all of his hits
have been in the pincheS, or
have started rallies.
The Indians counted their runs
in the fifth and ninth. One
crossed the plate in the first
named inning on hits by Hodapp,
Sewell and Hale. The other two
came as result of singles by
Hale and Porter, Sewell's double
and a walk tn MOntaplle

new outfieldng sensation looms the horizon even
though in the big leagues today He none other
than Baxter Jordan with the Grmen earlier in the
but with Newark of the International League at the present
time
The Washington times., 1931-09-11

Jordan has been going great
guns with Newark since Uncle
Clark Griffith sent him there
last July. He has batted around
the 800 mark and has held his
own as a fielder.
The promising slugger will be
brought back as a Griffmen as
soon as the International League
season closes. Also he will be
taken South when Manager John
sons men go again next Febru-
ary.
To Get Real Trial
A thorough trial will be given
the youngster, according to both
Griff and Johnson, who feel that
they have a potential regular in
the player.
"He may solve q little prob
lem in the Outfield, If he shows
anything at all" says Griff.
There's only one thing worry
ing Walter and myself. And
that's whether the lad will be
able to field. He's a little
weak in that department. But
he's a real hitter, dOzl't forget
that"
Jordan has been holding down
the initial station for Newark
since reporting there. Griff init.
mated, however, that if he became
a Griff regular, he would be an
outfielder and nothing else.
Baxter has had plenty of ex.
perience there" says Griff. I'm
fact he first came to us last
spring as an outfielder. A little
practice in the outer territories
should bring him around"

To FACE.
LOTT At NET
TODAY
By MICHAEL J. FOSTER

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-If you
won't be beat, you can't be beat.
Bill Roper's famous Princeton
football slogan has been carried
over into tennis by Johl Hope
Doeg, Americas fighting tennis
king, and as a direct result the
experts, who all season long had
been predicting Johnny's quick
demise as champion, today were
conceding the husky Californian
an even chance to retain his
crown, after watching him dis
pose of Frank Shields yesterday.
And that, despite the fact that
he must play George Lott, the
dark horse" Of the tournament,
in the Semi-final round of the
Fiftieth annual mems national
championships at Forest Hills
/ this afternoon, and then oppose
the winner of the Ellsworth
Vines-Fred Perry match in the
final tomorrow.
Earlier in the season, when
Doeg first started playing in the
big tournaments, weeks, and in
some cases months, after the
other stars had opened their 1891
campaigns, the champion warned
the experts that he would prob
ably suffer a number of defeats
in the preliminarieS, but that he
would be playing a lot better
tennis when the championships
rolled around.
The Washington times., 1931-09-11

The critics promptly forgot
his warning, however, and when
he lost first to Davey Jones,
and then to Vines and Mangin
and Sutter, they started the
old anvil chorus going. Some
even went so far as to say that
the champion couldn't reach
the quarter-finals at Forest
Hills.

HOW READING CAN HELP
YOU

"Link up reading and action
that is the efficient way to read.
Lord Kelvin bought a book on

ier) and it changed his whole life
and led to many of his great dis
coveries. Faraday bought a book
in chemistry and became the foun-
der of the present Electrical Age.
Westinghouse bought an English
magazine and found an article on
compressed air that gave him the
idea of his air pbrake that is now
used in all the railways of the
world. Henry Ford, too, bought a
magazine and saw an article on
"Horseless Carriages" that started
