All the Big Shots

Now, just to tell you a little
more about the Amity Club,
1t is made up of a group of
very generous gentlemen who
have banded to throw a bit
of sunlight into the lives of
the underprivileged youngsters
of their religion. Just about a
year ago now, Amity presented
the Center with a check for
$1,000 to build a baseball dia-
mond on outer Georgia Avenue.
Amity attends to the amuse-
ment, recreational and oftimes
more pressing requirements of
the less fortunate who come
to their notice, and tonight's
events at the Center is only
one of a yeararound program
of practical Pollyanna-ing, other
wise known as sunshine sowing.
And who are at the head Of
Amity and its happy enter
Prise! Weu, you q never guess!
First off, there's Isidore Sem
skier, who is president. and M.
j. Names, who is vice presi-
dent. Then there are Robert
I. Rudolph, who is a vice presi-
dent, to say nothing of Carl
Linker and Barney Robins, who
act as secretaries. Benny Mad.
den is treasurer and Herb
Sauber, sergeant-at-arms. In
cluded in the membership are
all the big shots, and the only
requirement therefor is a big
heart.

OPEN
SERIES WITH '
AS TODAY

BY GARRETT WATERS

DN NTf1ENAkE1 Il Il w N AANC
Having seen and having had
his team play against both the
Philadelphia AS and New York
Yankees since the start Of the
season, Manager Johnson was 4
more than enthusiastic today
over the showing of his Griffmen
and their chances later of beat
ing out both contende.s for this
years gonfalon.
Says Walter:
THE AS and Yanks are 60
ing to be tough customers this
season, but l believe well be -
able to beat them. Especially
the AS who seem to have run
into a rut or something. In re-
CARDS to the YankS, they're go -
ing to be even tougher than
the A's-in reality the team
who'll have to be beaten for
the pennant-but as 1 said a
moment ago, / believe we have
a ball club good enough to down
them in the long rum"
Of course Johnson realizes that
a lengthy season is ahead, and
that a lot can happen between
now and September, but despite
it all he feels that the 1882 Grift'
men have the sort of belief about .
themselves that no team. not
even the Detroit Tigers. who are
playing the strongest ball among
the clubs in the league at this
time, will defeat them in the end.
And that's saying great deal.
What about Lloyd Brown"
Johnson was asked. "Is he all
right, will be come through for
the team as of last year?"
"Sure. he'll be all Okay," was
the earnest working pilots an
Swer. I'm just nursing him 4
along because l feel he'll be SO
much more help when the warm
weather sets in, and why not
let him take it easy with the
youngsters Fischer and Weaver
going so well right now?
Brownie will be used in a little
while and then it'll be when we
really need his help. There's =
nothing wrong with his aSm, I'm
confident of that, and Brownie
knows now that he's Okay. too"
In regards to his rotation Of /.
pitchers for the next few weeks,
Johnson plans using Crowder,
Fischer, and Weaver as much aS
he can. Marberry, Brown and
Bobby Burke will be used as the
fourth hurler with whoever isn't
worked getting the relief assign
ment if such will be needed.
"And don't forget Burke is
liable to win couple of games
for u.s." said Johnson. This,
because Bobby is pitching with
so much more care this year. His
two appearances this season
have been very encouraging, and
as long as he pitches with this
care, he's going to be heard
FROM" .
The Griffs were due to open a
three-game series at Griffith
Stadium today against the Phila-
delphia AS. Carl Fischer was to
get the call as Manager John
sons pitcher. No doubt George
Earnshaw will be Connie Mack's
selection as the big hurler hasn't
worked since last Sundays game
when the Griffs beat him SO
badly, to 2.
Monte Weaver is to get the nod
tomorrow, with General Alvin =
Crowder following Saturday In
the concluding contest of the
series. With the AS playing such
poor ball at this time, Manager
Johnson is hopeful of making hay
while the sun shines in the mat
ter of walking off with three
victories. But this must still be
done. Manager johnson is hop q
ing anyhow and maybe his hopes
will be turned to smiles. 1t .sTt
the most impossible thing.

Ready-Made Economies.
(NeW York Times.)

MT. Hoover plans to make saving of $70o,000,- 900 in Government expenditure-for Governor Roose- velts first year Spare the rod and spoil the Presi- dent Elect is apparently a motto to which MT Hoover does not subscribe. If in order to make the Roosevelt Administration success it is necessary for MT Hoover to play the Roman father, he is pre- pared to go the limit. Alfred E. Smith in the course of the recent campaign had some picturesque things Ito say about Republican economies in New York State which later Democratic Administrations hao to pay for
 But that is the superficial view. MT. Hoover does Governor Roosevelt very real service 1T taking upon himself the odium of unavoidable budget reductions. It is obviously easier for President to stand by a salary cut already in effect thar to put one through his own account. President Roosevelt will be in a position to blame things or President Hoover

Most of know very little about the world that lies a few thousand miles beyond our own doorsteps The automobile has given most of us an opportunity to learn about our nearby States and about Canada Some day it may be possible for the ordinary citizen to travel abroad, to visit the faraway corners of the world and the strange to us, peoples who inhabit them, international understanding and good will must be the inevitable result. Wars will be fewer.
 For example: short time ago Los Angeles film company taking pictures in the far Arctic Films of the Olympic Games were taken along and shown to the Eskmos. Were the Eskimos pleased? They were not They accused the film company of bunking them, for, said the dark men of the Northand, it is silly to suppose that men could go running around in track suits. They'd freeze to death quickly. The Eskimo will have to see for himself or he will not believe. In this he is much like the rest of

Good Medicine.
(Port Angeles News.D

Mayor-Elect Carson of Portland, Oregon, h; sscribed some good medicine for public consumr ,n He said:
 We must quit asking the Government to be wet nurse to everything
 We must realize that the people support the Government, not that the Government supports the people
 We cannot get out of debt by going further into debt
 We must cut the cost of Government for in that way lies the only avenue of relief at present.
 I am not an alarmist, but we must ad- init that none of us knows whether or not we have hit the bottom in this deflation of credits that is going on.
 We must maintain the stability of the economic order, must preserve institu tions; if we do not, it will mean that we are breaking the last timber that holds the roof of protection over our heads
 The protection of life, property and health are the fundamental duties of our Government. All else is superfluous. We must hold to these fundamentals and turn our back upon these other intriguing things, if we are to hold what we have and build solidly for the future. Portland is fortunate to have elected a May 10 has the courage to advocate such practic Id fundamental American ideas.

FAKE;MAN HELD

Accused of helping a 15-year-
old newspaper route boy in plot
ting a fake hold-up to cover a
shortage in his, accounts, William
j. Robinson, laundry truck driver,
today was held for the Grand
Jury under $1,000 bond on an
embezzlement charge.
Harry Miller, 1887 Shepherd
st. N. w., the carrier, told Judge
John P. Mcmahon at Police
Court hearing that Robinson sug-
gested the hold-up story after he
found he was several dollars
short. The two agreed to split
the proceeds. he added.
Miller said he met Robinson
last night near Fourteenth Street
and Spring Road Northwest and
gave him the money he had col
lected, about $84. He then went
several blocks away to the home
of Postmaster William M. Mooney,
and had Mr.. Mooney call police,
to whom he told a story of being
held up by two colored men.

ARE EFAVORED

Petitions to amend five sec
tions of the District sign board
regulations were heard by the
District Commissioners at a-public
hearing today in the District
Building board room.
The prin cipal amendment
sought, upon which favorable
action is expected to be taken, is
one which will permit the carry,
ing of signs in peaceful picketing
of business establishments to in
form the public of a labor dis
pute.
Minor changes were sought in
the other four amendments. One
asked that only the original fee
of $40 be charged for the paint
ing of a sign and that the prac-
tice of collecting $40 for a permit
to repaint the same sign be abol-
ished. The other changes re-
lated to the number of signs
which may be displayed in show
windows, painting and similar
matters.
