A slender left-hander has been
idle all spring as far as taking an
active part on the mound be-
cause of a sore arm. But IN re-
cent drills he has shown so much
that johnson has decided to give
the pitcher the chance he's been
craving for.
'T'm planning on starting
Bobby" Johnson explains, "be-
cause he always goes so well
against the SOx. Last year, it
will be remembered, he won
several games for us, and why
not pitch him when the SOx
are truly one team he can
beat"
So Burke it'll be in one OF the
contests against the Collins-man-
aged team, maybe tomorrow, may
be not until Friday, but in one of
the games just the same.
Burke has been inactive for
this reason. Making his debut
against the Biloxi Bakers, a semi
pro team at Biloxi, last month he
strained his arm-So anxious was
he to make an impression even
against such a Secondrate team.
Back In Condition
Ever since then Bobby has been
trying his best to get back into
condition to perform for Man
ager johnson this year like he
has never performed before. His
recent workouts have demonstra-
ted his readiness to climb the
hill. At least the hurler states
his arm is not sore any more.
Left Lloyd Brown may make his
1882 debut as a starter tomorrow.
The lefthander, who spent the last
week of the Griffs' training grind
at Chattanooga to get his arm
Strengthened out, has intimated
that he is once more ready to be-
gin a campaign which he hopes
will be his most successful in his
big league career.
Needs More Work
The veteran may not be able to
go the full route in his first ef-
fort, however. He ir1timates this
because of the need to work a
couple of games in the idea of
getting all of the kinks out of his
wing. For this reason johnson
may stop and think for several
moments before starting the
hurler, using him instead in one
or two relief roles before naming
him as an actual game opener.
The GriffS, after they finish
here with the Red Sox, stop off at
Philadelphia before arriving home.
Saturday they open a four-game
series with the Philadelphia AS,

Cronin's Plea Taken

Along about the fourth in

handled a wire from Cronin to
Ted Husing, to whom Joe had
been listening broadcast the
game.
'"TelI Kerr to get a hit for
his rOOmie in Emergency Hos
pital," the message to Husing
read, and sure enough, the
next time Johnny came to the
bat, in the seventh, he singled
to left, getting pinched out at
second when Spencer forced
him.
Joe Judge got an ovation that
must have made President
Hoover pink with envy, when
the veteran first baseman ap-
preached the plate to take his
first rap in the second. Cog

walked Judge that time, but

Berry connected for the first
double of the season, in the
second, and only great run
ming catch by Sammy West
kept him from duplicating the
performance in the eighth.
Outside of that, it wasn't
much of a ball game, but we
noticed on the way out there
were no customers hanging
around the box office, asking

GERMAN END
MAY Be LESS
THAN $4,000.
BY FRANK G. MENKE

An ironic twist of fate, in the
guise of the income tax depart
ment, may give to Max Schmeling
little more cash than Jack %har.
key gets for their brawl in June
time-despite the fact that the
German will be paid 4212 per
cent and the American only 1912.
The recent whooping up of
aSseI-mentS on incomes bigger
than $4,000 deals Schmeling's po-
tention earnings a terrific jolt.
And it's a rather glum lad from
Germany who moocheS around
these days and ponders over
what's happened to him.
No one in the world except Joe
Jacobs, the jibber-jabber manager,
has real thought that the gate
will not hit beyond $500,000 net.
If it we 100000 it would sur
prise Llany. But assume that it
will click at 100000; that would
give Schmeling around $212,000 as
his portion.
Cuts Half Over 100000
Jacobs would be the first to
bear down on the swag. He
seems to have some arrange
ment whereby he gets nothing
but verbal thanks up to 100000
and half after that. So Jacobs
would spear out about $56,000
leaving Make with $1C6,000.
After that Uncle SamuePs
chiSel boys would operate, as
sisted by some State officials and
when they have finished the Ger
man perhaps would have around
$4,000 and a very bad headache.
But that isn't the end. Nein,
nein. When Make gets back
home the boys from Berlin will
be stepping in to pass the time
of day and take some of Makes
wealth away.
May Have $4,000 Left
If Max is lucky he will have
about $4,000 left all for him
self.
Sharkey, taking down a mere
1ZH2 WOulQ De pdlQ 9oI,0Uu. LIE
managers share would be one
third-about $4,000. The taxes
on the balance might be about
0,000-perhaps less. Anyway,
Sharkey, receiving only one
eighth of the money would have
between $32,50O and $4,000 for
his own, whereas Schmeling's
balance of the 4212 per cent slice
might not be more than $4,000.
Schmeling and Jacobs had a lot
of laughs at Sharkeys expense
when the articles for the fight
we're framed. Sharkey was figur-
ing on getting 1712, with 371a for
But the German drove
a hard bargain. He demanded S
per cent more and Sharkey had
to take 1872.

TEAM MISSES
JOE'S TIMELY
HITTING

BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

BOSTON, April 12.-The alb
sence of Joe Cronin from the
Griffmen'S lineup for the next
week or so is going to mean a
great deal to the team from the
looks of things.
This, because the lineup is so
much more powerful with the pep
perry Shortstop in that very i'm.
portant cleanup position in the
batting order.
Manager Johnson had to make
a change before yesterdays Of
ficial opener with the Boston Red
SoX at Griffith Stadium. Carl
Reynolds was moved up and
Johnny Kerr dropped down be-
hind OSSie Bluege, or just ahead
Of Catcher Roy Spencer.
CrOnin's Illness Serious
Cronin's sinus trouble seems
to be more serious than first
thought from the latest dope.
The youngster was advised be-
fore yesterdays game that it
would be best for him to stay
at Georgetown Hospital indefi.
nitely, or at least until his trouble
cleared beyond any doubt Of
danger.
So the above mentioned shift
in the batting order will con-
tinue until Cronin's return to
activity, which is hoped by Sun
day at the latest when the Griffs
meet the Philadelphia AS at
Griffith Stadium.
All the ceremonies that usually
are included in an opening day
were run off yesterday as the
Griffs beat the Boston Red Sox,
l to 0.
A dark, dismal day greeted the
teams, but this did not dampen
the ardor of the fans, nor the
players, as a regular mid-seaSon
game was staged.
Pitchers Duel
General Alvin CroWder and
Danny McFayden hooked up in
as pretty a pitching duel as one
would want to see, and $4,000 saw
1t, including Herbert Hoover,
President of the United States.
Both pitchers were tight with
their hits, as each gave up the
same number in the 10 innings
which were played. One by
Heine Manush was most de-
Structive to McFayden, however.
as 1t was a terrific double in the
tenth which drove across Buddy
Myer, who had walked, with the
lone run of the day.
CroWder was better than his CD
ponent in the matter of strike
outs. He famed seven. while Nc
Fayden was able to only make one

in the sixth inning.
Hoover Lacks Control
President Hoover made his usual
Wild pitch to open proceedings.
The ball sailed over Umpire Di.
mems head. who was waiting to
make the catch to officially begin
the game. Hoover left the park
after the seventh inning.
One error injected itself into
the order of things. and this was
YER, good considering the sloppy
1leld. 1t fell to Catcher Charley
Berry's lot to make the miscue in
the ninth inning when he dropped
Johnny Kerr's pop fly in front of
the pitchers box. No damage re-
suited, as it turned out, as Nc
Fayden retired the side.

500 PER CENT JUMP IN FEDERAL
TAXES

In a recent address, United States Senator
Felix Herbert of Rhode Island, pointed out
that a few years ago a tremendous hue and cry
was heard because the cost of the federal
government had reached $1,000, 900, 900 a
year. Yet, at the last session of Congress, ap-
preparations made totaled more than four bill
lion dollars. In the 81 years between 1900 and
the present, the per capita cost of the federal
government increased from $6.84 to 1926
about 500 per cent.
with a never ending extension of the &C
tivities of government into other fields than
those originally contemplated by the found
ers,'' said Senator Herbert, these increased
costs are inevitable. Through the efforts of
organized minorities, we are constantly broad
ening the scope of our operations, and natur-
ally increasing our costs"
In other words, those groups and cliques
which campaigned so :]strenuously and success
fully for government operation of this and
government supervision of that, are now pay
ing the piper along with the rest of us who
were willing to let we'll enough alone in the
beginning. The hand of the bureaucrat is said
to throttle initiative-and it likewise picks the
public pocketbook with neatness and dispatch.
Nothing is more expensive, or more detrimen-
tai to progress, than bureaucracy. Let us re-
member that when we go to the polls.

WARNING FOR TEACHERS

Most teachers, it they are honest with
themselves, would probably admit that the
past decade has been their halcyon period. 1t
was in that period that the big schools were
built, that educational appropriations jumped
by scores of millions every year, that the ed
vocational expert reached his full stature, that
the three Rs were showed in the corner and
the %esoteric subjects which now make up the
bulk of the school curriculums were discover
ed and exploited. The home was showed into
the background and the teacher became the
Big Shot. -
1t becomes our painful duty today to warn
the teachers that there are forces at work
seeking to take their pre-eminence away from
them. Envy is at work. Already we have point
ed out that right under their noses a great new
su~per-educational system was being organized
by a crowd in Washington who have got hip
ped on radio as an educational force. In Aus
tralia a similar gang has actually won over the
Government and started a system of broad
casting to the schoolrooms, which shoves the
schoolma'a am as she exists today into the back
ground. Some such hope as that animates the
broadcasting fanatics.
Today it is possible to report on another
scheme to GUST the teacher from her pre-emi-
nent position. The Harvard Graduate School
announces that it is beginning a series OF ex-
periments to determine what magic the talk
ing film can perform in the classroom" Har-
ward has a grant from the Carnegie Founda-
ton to carry out its Investigations and the
Board of Education in New York city is all
agog waiting for the results to be known.
The record shows that we do not always
see eye to eye with the teachers. But they may
rest assured that in the battle which they seem
to be facing to hold their jobs against the en-
%croach1nent of loud-speakers and motion-pic-
ture projectors we are all ON their side. When
the teachers begin fighting against technology
cal unemployment, we'll fight alongside of
them.

item purporting to be an interview
with the manager of Eagle Poultry
Farm. This item stated hat we were
refusing all orders for baby chicks
and appeared at a time when we were
just getting out several thousand cir
culars urging customers to place their
orders!!
Enquiries from customers, who us
ually place their orders in January
and February, as to just show come"
we were enjoying such remarkable
growth makes it necessary to say that
the manager of Eagle Poultry Farm
has not authorized any interview as
to the state of our business. We did
state to an advertising solicitor of a
daily paper that our January book
ings were the best of any January
since we have been in business and
hat the profits on Eagle Leghorns had
been SO satisfactory that many of our
customers were placing orders for
larger numbers this year. Several who
bought 500 last season are buying L.
900 to 1000 for 1882.
However, since we set more than
5000 eggs each week we still have
unsold for March, April and May
probably fifteen or twenty thousand
of our finest chicks and those who
place their orders within the next
few weeks will very likely be able to
get delivery on approximately the
date the chicks are wanted. Any
statement to, the contrary is untrue.
Yours for better Leghorns,

ONE THING IT, WILL DO

The American delegation to the arms linn
itation conference at Lausanne has sailed for
Europe, with the following Instructions:
1t is forbidden to discuss war debts and re-
lated problems:
1t is forbidden to negotiate any sort of a
security pact.
1t is forbidden to indulge in any discussion
Of naval affairs.
1t is forbidden even to consider any cut
in the size of the American army.
1t is forbidden to support budgetary limi-
tation, the only sort of limitation that France
will support.
1t is forbidden to advance any proposals
of its own to secure armament reduction.
But it is explicitly authorized by Congress
to spend $45o,ooo.
After examining the list Of prohibitions
laid upon the American delegation, it is plain
that there is small hope of its accomplishing
anything toward reduction of ornaments, for
any imaginable scheme of reduction must
come into collision somewhere with some of
these prohibitions.

that the American delegation will do absolute

HEE, HAW!

"T1ee, Haw! We're coming back" has been
chosen as a Democratic slogan for 1882 cam
paign. President Hoover, no doubt hopes that
it will be as long about coming back as has
been his prosperity which he has had just
around the corner for two years.
There is a general opinion among all par
ties that the Democrats stand a good chance
of coming back. The Republicans have not
ment. They are walking around in a fog. The
only consolation they have is that normally
there are more Republicans than Democrats,
at least there have been ever since the war Be-
tween the States. Then, too, they recall that
only twice in the history of he parry has a Re-
publican president failed in reelection. That
gives them some encouragement Further, they
have the hope that the Democrats will do some
fool stunt as they have done in the past and
thereby hand the election to the Republicans.
But either of those two grains of comfort are
not sufficient to offset the thick gloom which
hovers over the Republicans.
The New York Times, editorially, refers to
the recent meeting of the Republican Nation
al committee as "A Lodge Of Sorrow" The
committeeman had left despair among their
hOme1Olk, ana going TO aSnlnSIOn mao Iound
pessimism. Back home the Republicans were
swearing they would not further support the
President, and in Washington political treason
was rampant in the cloakrooms where party
leaders assembled. Even the battle cry of Sec
rotary Pat Hurley could not revive it, says The
Times. Continuing The Times says:
1.-The committee drew itself from private
%lamentation long enough to creep up to the
White House and languidly assure Mr.. Hoover
that he will be reelected. But few Of them be-
lieve it. I wonder if he does,' one committee
man remarked to a newspaper correspondent
and jerked his thumb back toward the White
House. The gloom is thick enough to cut with
a knife"
Reports come from usually close states, and
a number of normally Republican ones, too,
that there is no rush of Republican candidates
for next year, while the woods are full of Dem
ocratic aspirants, showing that the people ex-
pect the Democrats to win, while the Repub->
Leans approach the election with something of
the spirit of sacrifice.--Dnrbans Herald.

Gratifying news of the past week

As it is understood here, privately

censed in one state will be permitted
to operate in the other for 80 consec-
utive days without interference and
trucks doing a farm-to-market bust
mess will be allowed to operate on both
sides of the line with only one state
license, while commercial vehicles are
allowed four interstate trips per month
without ~relicensing.
1t is assumed hat this agreement
will effectually end the so-called Ii

states, which has been provocative of
much ill-feeling in certain localities
in the past. I congratulate you.

LOCALIZED LEGS

Legs for ladies are about to be legalized by
the city Of Chicago.
For sixteen years Chicago legs have been
under the ban. Along in 1915 legs were begin
ming to show signs of freedom, and the chaste
city government Of that date enacted stern
measures to put them back where they belong
ed. They stipulated bloomers for bathers. They
also forbade shameless display of bare arms,
and sleeveless suits were proclaimed as lawless
as legless ones.
As so often happens in the progress Of civ
~ilization Chicago's 1915 gasp of virtue was so
hopelessly left behind the procession that ev-
eryone forgot about it. 1t is now to be repealed
merely to clean a bit of rubbish from the mu-
nicipal statute books.
And what new legislation is provided to
take its place? Nothing whatever. AS far as
Chicago is concerned legs are no longer proper
subject for statutory regulation. Which is as
it should be, for the law can fix no limit above
the manifestly uppermost limit which has al
ready been attained by general consent.

THE
TOWER

State Department of
Conservation and Development.
My dear Col. HARRISON:
In my opinion your department
will be rendering a splendid service in
behalf of the state and its industry if
you can bring about adoption of your
proposal to establish in some central
point an industrial market for the ex-
hibit and sale of products of the fac
tories of North Carolina, and perhaps
including textile products from South
Carolina and other southern states.
My understanding of your idea is
the establishment of a market for in
dustrial products somewhat along the
lines of the Southern Furniture Mar
ket at High Point, where all kinds of
textile and other goods manufactured
in North Carolina, or perhaps the en-
tire southeast, would be on exhibition
the year round, asa center for buyers
of such commodities from all wei the
country.
1t seems to me hal such an insti-
tuition would prove of great value to
the various industries of the section,
particularly North Carolina, if most
of the manufacturers md enough
bankers and merchants should be in
terested to make a success of it. Ger
tainly the idea is worthy of thought
full consideration.
GOVERNOR MATTHEW Rowan.
