In the first place the UniverS-
fly takes offense at what it
terms a widely used press as
sociation report intimating that
q special rule had been invoked
against Mr.. Stagg; saying di-
= rectly that the retirement came
as a stunning surprise to Stagg
himself; inferring that the
crushing blow of his enforced re-
tirement came without warning,
and also reporting that Mr..
Stagg gave no indication that
he would accept the offer Of q
special new position at the uni
versity. All these statements
are claimed to be erroneous,
they forming the basis for gen.
eral Misrepresentation as to the
university's treatment of Mr..
Stagg, and his attitude toward
the retirement.

Hsserty Ranks
With HIiIItop's
Greatest

Jack Hagerty, whom reports per
sist is to succeed Tommy Mills as
head varsity coach at Georgetown
University, was an outstanding
halfback at Georgetown in 1928.
1924 and 1925. His greatest sea-
son at the Hilltop was in 1925 as
the spearhead Of Lou Little's great
club that lost but one game, q 80
decision to Bucknell, on a watery
and muddy gridiron at the Grit
fifth Stadium.
Indeed, Hagerty ranks with the
outstanding halfbacks in George
towns football history. He was
All-American, no doubt, but he
had the misfortune Of playing
with Georgetown. He might have
been placed on that blue-ribbon
team had he attended Notre
Dame, Southern California, Ala
bama or Harvard.
That Hagerty was possessed Of
great ability has been exemphfied
by his seven years service with
the top-notch pro outfits Of the
country. You've got to, be good
to stick with that cmpany.
Hagerty plays his final pro
game with the New York Giants
tomorrow against the Portsmouth
(Ohio) SpartanS, and is to report
at the Hilltop Monday. Mills, en-
route here from Detroit, Mich,
where his team bowed to Detroit
University 13-0, last night. re-
mained silent on the situation.
He took over the coaching reins
at Georgetown at the close Of the
1929 season, when Lou Little went
to Columbia University.

VIEW BRIGHT
FOR 1888,
BY DOPE
BY GARRETT WATERS

Although there are several pos
sibilities that one or two Of the
present staff might figure in
trades before another season rolls
around, as matters now stand the
Washington Griffmen haven't the
worst pitching staff in the world.
In fact, the staff is an ur-
usually strong one on paper, list
ing such names as Crowder, Mar
berry, Brown, weaver, Alphonse
Thomas and Dick Coffman as
the featured stars.
II these fellows could get going
collectively In 1888, there wouldn't
be any reason why Owner Clark
Griffith should have to look for
reinforcements, as every man,
when in the right sort Of fettle,
is a pitcher Of AL ability.
CrOwder, Weaver Best
Crowder and Weaver were the
Griffs' best hurlers last year. The
former turned in 26 triumphs.
while Weaver totaled 81.
Just think where the Griffmen
would have finished had Mar
berry, Brown, Thomas and Cotf-
man been able to do as well. A
pennant would have been won,
folks, a pennant, that's all.
Now Marberry, Brown, Thomas
and Coffman are better pitchers
than their records of the season
Of 1882. The first two particu'
larly. Thomas showed what he
could do when his arm was in
fettle, while Coffman's late ef-
forts were prizes, to say the least.
'Tf" Is Involved
Bringing, then. the "if" into
play again, coupled with several
"shoulds'' the Griffs should be a
better team next year what with
prospects ahead Of better pitch
ing.
Crowder probably won't win 20
games again, but it's pretty GER
tain he'll turn in a total in the
neighborhood of 20, while Weaver,
by ali the experience gained last
year, should not have a great
deal Of trouble in chalking up
1S or 20 victories in 1888.
Thomas If really looked upon
oS fha TN1siZA NAa nEya~A Rn,. &IaA
new season. Particularly now
that his arm is in good shape
once more. And all that Coff-
man Is figured to need is a good
Start-which he did not get after
joining the Girffs in mid season.
Prospects Setter
Marberry won Is games in
1881 and should do even better
in 1888 by another Of his good
starts. DopesterS believe that he
would have had better season
in 1882 had he not been hit by
his several illnesses early in the
spring. Condition will have a
lot to do with Browns showing
also. ....~ r..
Thus, the Griffs' pitching pros
poets for 1888 are not the worst
in the world if all goes right.
These ideas are based, of course,
on what, the present veteran crop
has the possibilities Of doing, If
kept on the 1888 roster.
One or two, as said, might be
figured in trades, but if such
does not come to pass, the staff
has it's possibilities, there's no
doubt about it.

Argentina Opens
Railway Over Old
Trail of Priests
283-Mile Route, Started
in 1927, Taps Sugar
and Wine Centers.

SUMAN5PA, Argentina, August 90
The longest railway line completed this
year in the Western Hemisphere was
opened today across Northern Argen-
tina, along the ancient trail blazed
from Lima to Buenos Aires by Spanish
priests and merchants in It'll.
The new broad-gauge line is 283
miles long, equivalent to the distance
between Chicago and st. Louis. 1t
affords a short cut from Tucuman,
sugar producing center, to the COM
mercially important city of Cordoba,
seat Of the Oldest university In the
New World, and thus to Mendoza in
the Andean foothills, rcapital of tbs
America. The road also opens to active
settlement primitive and fertile region
destined to produce grain, linseed and
cattle.
The Central Argentine Railway began
construction of the route in 1927, be-
tween the towns of Forres and Villa
del Rosario, to obviate the need of
hauling clear across Argentina and
back, in big right angle, freight be-
tween Tucuman and Mendoza. The
cost has been S12.000,000, and from
1000 to 5000 men have been employed.
Much OF the region in Santiago del
Estero Province traversed by the new
road is heavily wooded. and immediate
traffic will be augmented by haulage
from the region of firewood, widely used
in Northern Argentina instead of coal.
Provincial authorities project the dam
ming of the Rio Dulce.

postponed until tomorrow the continu-
alton Of his flight to New York.
He came here last night from Penn

landed yesterday after flying from
Portmarnock, Ireland. He was too
tired to 60 further. He had a good
sleep last night and decided to fly to
Montreal this afternoon to watch the

today for New York to Join him. He
said, however she would not accompany
him on his return fight from New York

said, however, that Mrs. Mollison had
changed her mind and probably would
not come to America at ALL

have been about right because when ]
came over land it wasn't 10 minutes

He decided to make the flight, he
said, only because it had been planned
for six months.

LAS VEGAS, New, August 90
Charges the builders of Hoover Dam
near here are abusing their commissary
privileges, exploiting their employees and
causing unfair competition for Boulder
City and Las Vegas merchants were
made today by Senator Tasker L. Oddie
of Nevada in a telegram to Secretary Of
the. Interior Wilbur.
He charged wages are paid in scrip
which can be used at face value only
at the company store for merchandise.
The practice, he said, deprives the
workers of the actual cash value of their
wages and makes their living expenses
exorbitant, because the scrip cannot be
cashed elsewhere, except at a large dis
count.
The Senator also said the contractors
have collected thousands of dollars
from the workers in poll taxes and are
holding it.
The money, he asserted, is due Clark
County land is sorely needed at this
time as the county is put to unusually
heavy expense in caring for and feed
ing the thousands of men who have
come here looking for work at the
dam"
He urged recognition of the right of
the State of Nevada and its legal Subdi-
visions to collect taxes due them on the
personal property of the contractors
and others within the Boulder Canyon
reservation"
Senator Oddie told Secretary Wilbur
the Senate Committee on Irrigation
and Reclamation, of which he is a

erations in about 10 days and said if
the conditions complained of are not
corrected by then, he will insist on a
