Choice Makes Him Youngest OF
Managers; Gritf Seen Ready

Bv KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

"Frisco" Joe Cronin, regular
Washington shortstop since
1929, will manage the Wash
ington baseball team next sea-
son.
Today he signed a one-year
contract, the salary being un-
announced.
He will be 26 years old next
Wednesday and is the youngest
man ever to have .piloted
major league club. Stanley
Harris had passed his twenty
seventh birthday anniversary
when he signed to manage Wash
ington in 1924.
Judge Loses Out
Cronin is President Griffith'S
choice following four days of
heated speculation since last
Tuesday, when it was learned
Walter johnson was through
after a four-year tenure.
Much pressure had been
brought upon the local club to
name Joe Judge, veteran Wash
ington first basemen, who came
to this club from Buffalo in
1915.
Sam Rice also had many local
hackers for the job.
Cronin came to Washington
from Kansas City in 1928 and
played intermittently at short
with Topper Rigney, under Bucky
Harris, and the following year
was given the job which proved
to be a permanent assignment.
Ruth Choice Three Times
Since then he has startled
baseball with his flash perform
ance and three times has been
selected on the Babe Ruth ALI
America team, including the
season just closed, and in 1880
was VOGed Dy writers the most
valuable player in the American
League.
Before coming to the Griffmen,
Cronin had been up with Pitts
burgh, in 1925 and 1927, as we'll
as taking spring practice with
the Pirates in 1925, but playing
no major league games.
Cronin will be playing
manager, one of the very few in
the upper strata of baseball.
President Clark Griffith's choice
Of Cronin over the older candi-
dates was influenced by the fact
that Cronin has impressed him as
being 100 per cent baseball, verit-
ably eating, sleeping, drinking and
breathing the game, as reflected
in his peppery performance afield.
He is unmarried.

the world finally disarmed at
the end of two decades, is being
put forward by France as con-
comitant to the Hoover plan.
The French proposal provides
for two separate disarmament
conventions, one to put in motion
a plan of gradual disarmament
under the Hoover plan and the
second to provide for the Sc
curity which France has always
demanded.
The first convention, under the
French plan, would arrive at a
systematic means of carrying out
general disarmament over a pc
riod of 20 years.
All the nations Of the world
would participate in the discus
sions, which would be based
upon the Hoover plan: Namely,
dividing the effective armed
forces of the various nations into
two sections, one to comprise an
irreducible minimum for "police
work" and the other to embrace
defense forces, subject to gradual
reduction during the ensuing 20
years,

Insurance are so drafted as to safe
guard the health of the working
masses.
These laws provide for social insur-
ence to cover free medical assistance
as well as payment of wages during
illness, vacations with full pay for
pregnant women, old age and invai-

cations for pregnant women in the
Soviet Union extends from 6 to
weeks before to 6 to 1s weeks after
childbirth.
After these vacations with pay are
over, the Soviet mothers are not
forced to leave their infants in their

order to return to the shops. They
bring their children to the nurseries
where they are taken care of under
the proper supervision of qualified
physicians and nurses.
Practically in every major factory
there is one of these modern nurser-
les. The mothers are allowed to stop
working at least twice a day in order
to feed their babies. If baby is
