Should Box Corps Dan cFadem Looming Prize Puzzle
On the
.SiideLines
III With the Sports Editor.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

)LARK GRIFFITH has
made a good start to-
~ ward strengthening the
Nationals numerically
weak pitching staff in the trade
that brings Dick Coffman back
to Washington in exchange for
Carl Fischer.
The chieftain of the Capital
clan always has been sweet on
the 6-feet-1 a-inch blond. He
gave Coffman, then a gangling
youth Of 10, his start in the
majors here back in 1927, and
it was with regret he sent him
to st. Louis, along with Earl
McNeely, later that season, in
the deal that added Milton
CASTOR to the local curving
corps.
At the time Griff asserted the
clean-cut Highlander had a
great future in base ball, and at
the age of Is Coffman still has
most of his box career ahead of
him. With the experience he
has gained in the past five sea-
sons, plus the better support,
afleld and at bat the Nationals
will accord him, he should
prove a consistent winner here
Fischer Loses Fast Ball.
FISCHER, who during the
Il early part of the season
last year, enjoyed a string
OF successes that promised to
make him something of a
sensation in pitching circles,
begged down at the halfway
mark through overwork and
never has shown to advantage
since.
The form he displayed in
Spring training this year led
to the belief he would start in
again as he did in 1881, but
somewhere along the route the
curley-haired left-hander lost
his fast ball, his principal
stock in trade, and with it went
all the confidence Manager
Johnson had in his pitching
proWeSs.
Oddly enough, both of the
hurlerS in this swap worked in
the same number of games to
a decision last season-22-
with Fischer winning 13 and
losing 9, while Coffman won 9
and lost 13. However, consid-
ering the difference in the
strength of their supporting
casts Coffman ranks as much
the better of the two, for Wash
ington last year won 90 and
lost 81 games, while st. Louis
could account for only 63 vic
tories, while dropping 81.

the blending and cross blending of fine tobaccos

THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT about

j. s. ATTORNEYS
RAP PAY GUT

Many Federal attorneys and as
sistants will resign if their sal
aries are cut, it was indicated in
letters from several of them
which were read before the execu-
tive committee of the Federal Bar
Association yesterday.
The letters pointed out that
these attorneys representing the
Government and looking after
Federal interests and prosecutions
receive but $4,000 to $4,000 sal
aries, just a fraction of legal fees
paid by many private interests,
and that any further reduction
will cause many to resign.
The council of the association,
whose membership embraces law
trained men in the Government
departments, is today studying the
omnibus bill now before Congress,
trying as lawyers and Federal en-
ployes to clarity some points they
declare vague.

STATE EMPLOYEES
LOSE court ACTION
Supreme Court Rules Initiative
Measure Must Come to
Vote Nov. 8

All application to restrain the Sec
rotary of state from placing on the
Nov. 8 election ballot a proposed ini-
tiated measure to reduce salary Of
state officials and employees was de-
MED by the state supreme court Sat-
urday.
The secretary of state has found
the initiative petitions sufficient, and
in view of the courts decision the
proposal will come to a vote in No.
vember.
A minute order" was issued by the
court because the emergency requir-
ed an immediate decision so that the
secretary of state could proceed with
the work of preparing for the election.
A formal opinion will be filed later,
setting forth the grounds Of the de-
cision.
w. G. Preckel, member of the North
Dakota workmen's compensation bu-
reau. and r. Van Neste, employe Of
the highway department brought the
action, alleging the proposed measure
was in violation of the constitution.
In its order the court said that the
alleged defects go to the substance,
that is, the ultimate validity of the
law, and not to the procedure or form
of the petition"
The court followed its decision in
the case brought to restrain the secre-
tary of state from placing on the last
June primary election ballot pro-
posed initiated measure providing for
a five-year partial moratorium. At
the time the constitutionality Of the
proposal was attacked, but the court
held it could not rule on that matter
before the proposal was enacted into
law.

JAPANS MS|STENT
REQUEST FOR DELAY
DENIED AT GENEVA
Reports Persistent That Nip.
ponese Might Withdraw
Its Membership
SAID LEGALLY IMPOSSIBLE
Findings in China, Japan and
Manchuria Listed BY Lytton
Committee

Geneva, Sept. 24.-(R)-Denying
Japan's irsistent requests for further
delay, the League of Nations council
decided Saturday to consider the
Lytton commission report on the Far
East Nov. IA. The report will be pub
1ished Oct. /.
There have been reports both here
and in Tokyo that If the report Is UNI
favorable to Japan and If the coun-
Gil should take too firm a position
against Japan's military policies IN
Manchuria, the japanese government
might withdraw from the league.
Some authorities maintain this
would be impossible legally, for
league member cannot resign while
it is in default of its obligations, and
a member in good standing cannot
withdraw except on two years notice.
It is thought in some quarters II jap
an considers the report unfavorable
she will merely continue her objec.
tions to the leagues method OF
handling the Manchurian Issue, ana
ignore the leagues ruling.
This decision was reached at scs-
sion which opened with an address by
canon De Valera. president of the
Irish Free State, who presided. He
expressed the regret OF the council
that Japan had recognized the ne"
state of Manchukuo.
The Lytton report was prepared by
q commission which included Gener-
al Frank r. Mccoy, u. S. A. Under
the auspices Of the league it visited
China, Japan, and ManchuriA to IN
vestigate relations between the two
great eastern powers. Unofficial YER
sions have said the report leaves room
for argument by both countries.
Haruichi Nagoaka, Japan's repre-
sentative, pleaded for further delay
in consideration of the report. but
DR.. w. w. Yen of China, insisted up
on the earliest possible date and the
council agreed with him.
De Valera expressed opinion Japans
recognition of Manchukuo was likely
to prejudice settlement OF the Man
churia dispute. Salvador De Madar-
iapa. SPANS spokesman, echoed this
regret, but the Japanese declined to
be led into any discussion Of the
recognition.
M. Nagaoka employed every means
to gain a further delay, asking that
consideration of the report be de-
ferred until six weeks after pubnca-
ton of maps and annexeS. The coun-
ell overruled him.
