The Mackmen have one thing
in their favor if they have moth
ing else. And that's the presence
of Pitchers Robert Moses Grove
and Big George Earnshaw, both
of whom seem in for excellent
campaigns again.
Against the pair in the last
two games, the Griffs have not
been able to do a thing with
the shoots they have sent plate
ward.
Especially were Groves assort-
ment of curves and speed puzzling

shaw's hurting yesterday at
Washington had Manager John
sons men swinging their backs
off, so to speak, in an effort to
connect.
Yes sir, it looks as if the AS
are going to be tough this year
because of these two super
pitchers, if for no other reason.
To be sure they won't be able
to carry the entire load in the
season ahead, but it's a pretty
safe bet that they'll do more
than their part.
Powerful Bats
Batting too, is going to play
an important item in defeating
Connie Mack's hirelings if they
are going to be set down. This
was demonstrated in the recent
series the Yanks played in Phila-
delphia. The McCarthymen,
known to be quite a hitting
team, Slugged for all they were
worth but found that only one
game in two could be won be-
The Washington times., 1932-04-18

cause of the AS powerful attack.
So it seems that if the Griffs
want to get anywhere against
these mighty men under Connie
Mack's wing, they must put forth
both pitching strength this year
and even more so than in 1881
because Of the powerful picture
their most despised rivals present
as another league champion.
The games here today and to-
morrow will offer an interesting
example of whether the Griffs
will be able to get the good pitch,
ing and slugging type of hitting
necessary to win. The team GER
tainly must wake up both at bat
and on the mound if they want
to come home without a white
wash for this series.
FirpO a Worry
Incidentally, Manager Johnson
is worried over the showing to
date of his supposed ace, Fred
Marberry. The big Texan has
been driven from the mound on
both of his appearances this year,
and this is not going to do at all,
with victories needed now as well
as later.
Marberry no doubt will "come
around" to his best fettle in an
other week or so, from his own
views on the subject. That grippe
attack he had down in Biloxi did
not help him in any way and the
veteran has shown the effects oy
his weak performances. Naturally
a speedy and complete recovery
is hoped for in his case.

when he came to Washington
from Salisbury. N. c., a few weeks
ago was Joseph. Fiemster meets
Billy Schwartz tomorrow night in
one of the eight round all-star
bouts at Portner's arena.
Said Fiemster on meeting Joe:
''Mr. Turner, I'm a fighter.

with my racket, but folks down
home said you were pretty big
in sports here, and I thought
you might b. able to get me a

Joe eyed him rather severely
and thought the lanky Carolinian

than a fighter. However, Joe
questioned him about his fights.

' YOUNGSTERS
MAY CHECK
SLUGGERS
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, April 19.
It'll be up to the youngsters Carl
Fischer and Monte Weaver to
stop the AS in the concluding
games of the series here today
and tomorrow.
General Alvin Crowder and Big
Fred Marberry having failed,
Manager johnson has decided to
depend on Fischer and Weaver,
first because he really hasn't any,
body else, and secondly, because
he believes they will deliver in
view of their combined anxious
ness to get in there and stop the
opposition regardless of who it is.
Both Fischer and Weaver will
have to do a great deal of bat
tanning if the AS are to be de-
feated in their own park. Manager
Mack's men cavort at Shibe
Park like nobody's business which
means that the bailiwick seems
made to order for their home
runs, doubles, triples, singles and
what have you.
FlScner Today
To stop the long hitting the AS
have been inserting in the past
two games, is Manager Johnson's
hopes and orders to Fischer and
Weaver during the next two days.
It'll be Fischer today who'll try
and do the halting business.
Weaver tomorrow.
1t was a shame the Griffs had
to look so bad against the AS
before the 10000 or more home
enthusiasts who turned out at
Griffith Stadium for yesterdays
game.
But great deal of it couldn't
be helped because George Earn
shaw, Connie Mack's hurler for
the day, was so effective. Big

ment Of speed and curves, with
the result the Griffs were let
down by the humiliating count of
II to 3.
Famed Twelve
Twelve Griffmen famed the
ozone during the course of the
nine innings. Earnshaw really
had his Upper working as Myer,
Manush, West, Cronin, and Judge
will attest. Manush led the strike
out parade with four, while the
remainder of the above list struck
out twice each.
Carl Reynolds, Ossle Bluege
and Moe Berg were the only
players who did not find Earn
shaw too bothersome. Reynolds
slapped out a double and triple,
Bluege, two singles and Berg a
triple. Myer hit a triple in the
ninth to no avail.
Big Fred Marberry, Lefty Lloyd
Brown, Frank Ragland and Monte
Weaver were used on the mound
by Manager Walter johnson. It
was against Marberry the AS
did their most damage as six
runs were scored off his offerings
in the third.
Damage Done
The number of runs counted
off of the others did not matter
a whole lot as the damage had
been done before their entrance
into the game. Ragland, In his
official major league debut, went
unscored upon during the seventh
and eighth innings he hurled al
though he walked two In this
latter frame before retiring the
side.
Jimmy Foxx's home run off
Marberry in that big third was
a real clout. The ball landed

The Films Have No Use For It

Finland is evidently as much dlsgusted with the workings of prohibition within Its border as is the United States. When this was written early returns from the national referendum conducted in that country re- vealed an astonishing trend away from the presnt laws that so closely resemble those governing liquor manufacture, transporta- ton. and sale here. First reports on the poll. probably complete by now, indicate that 90 per cent of the voting population desires abolition of the dry laws. The refer endum was tripleheaded It sought those who wanted prohibition abolished, retained or light wines and beers legalized.
 Of course the referendum will not result in the dropping of the Finnish dry laws It may cause the government to consider such move, but it was authorized merely to se- cure a national opinion. The natural re- action would be repeal of the dry laws. It is plainly seen that the Finnish people be- lleve that prohibition no longer can be enforced. In fact it never was to any extent. Proportionately, perhaps, it was en- forced about as much as 1t has been in the United States. That doesn't speak well for this nation with its greater wealth and con- sequent better means of enforcement. But we'll wager that opposition to prohibition is proportionately greater here than in Fin land.
 We actually should be guided by the ref erendum in Finland Its problems were sim liar to ours. Its laws were the counterpart. It has voted as we feel sure this nation would, should it be given the opportunity. We can't recall one state referendum con- dueted in recent years where the outcome revealed anything but dissatisfaction with the prohibition amendment or asked for re- peal of state enforcement acts. Prohibition can be called nothing but an experiment that men, women, and nations fool with but have never made practical, The sooner the experiment is made less costly not merely in dollars and cents. but in human lives the better off we will be as nation.

bers of the bar. Its duties provide for "a continuous study of the or- ganization, rules and methods of procedure and practice of the judi cial system of the state' and for a biennial report and list of recom- mendations. Already, the council has demonstrated its value to the state.
 New York at present has state commission on judicial reform with united powers. The merchants as- sociation proposes to extend these to enable 1t to conduct 0 continu- ous survey of the state of the courts and to recommend to the legislature whatever methods 1t deems necessary to improve the administration of justice. Moreover, 1t would report on the judicial ex- periments that are made in other states and would conduct special Investigations, presumably includ- ing such as the present investiga- ton by Judge Samuel Seabury.
 The advantages of Q judicial council are manifest, provided 1t is given free hand in its investi- gations and provided sufficient weight is accorded its recom- mendatlons by the lesglslature. The endorsement of the district court system by the Connecticut Council was not, unfortunately, listened to by our legislature, but at least the council was able to throw It's influence on the side of reform. New York would probably find q generously empowered judi clal council of great assistance, al- though for political reasons 1t might be difficult to get on estab- lished.

Mir Rorabaek may not have done an about face maneuver. but he cer- tainly is eognizant of the spirit of the times. And while dry senators down in Washing ton may be refusing to sit on the sub-com- mittee to hear bills calling for repeal of the 18th Amendment, the rest of the nation is as vitally interested in the problem that has upset this entire nation We think it stands only second to unemployment and business relief. Of course there can be no doubt that Connecticut is wet. It is just question of how large a vote will be registered next fall when a referendum is taken on the question of resubmitting the 18th Amendment to the states for ratification or rejection We ven- ture to say the state will vote four or five to one on the wet side.

Foolish Foreign Loans

As Americans ponder on this mess of for eign reparatonS and debts, they begin to see how foolish they have been with their money since the war The money we spent directly to win the war was probably as inevitable as our entrance into the war. We were sucked in. and we had to fight it out. That fight required not only the financing of our own campaign. but to large extent the financing of our exhausted allies. We may look on our governmental war loans as war material, which we had to provide to avoid defeat
 But with the war over, there was no necessity for our people furnishing all those billions in private loans to the beligerent countries for governmental and industrial purposes. Some of the money was used ex- travagantly, not eonstruetively. Some of it was used, directly or indirectly, to finance new armament. Some went for public buildings which Germany and other borrow CTS could have done without. What it amounts to is that Germany has been paying her reparations with American loans, and the Allies have been paying their debts to us with American loans. And now that we are no longer able to lend them the money, payment stops.
 If those billions had not been sent abroad, they would have come very useful when the depression came, and we would not have been driven to such frenzied expedients lately to loosen up domestic credit. Americans who have been urging their investors all along to keep their money at home and in vest it in American industry seem justified now There would not be this controversy about whether government loans or private loans have first call. There would be mil lions of American holders of foreign bonds worrying less about their investments.

Take Your Time, Governor

Governor Gross IS exercising extreme eau ton in this matter of having his portrait painted. It was voted during the session of the Legislature this spring to appropriate Sl.500 for a gubernatorial portrait which will hang in Memorial Hall in the State Library. The custom is not new. Voters need not worry about the needless expense of painting pictures of men we may have forgotten in twenty-five more years, How. ever the governor is in no hurry.

Sitting Pretty On The Farm

Pharoah and Joseph, with their wheat pool. had nothing on a certain American farmer. He says he has enough provisions in his cellar to last him for at least three years. This is"rcs merely canned stuff of the old. familiar sort. The canning art has advanced since our grandmothers days The afore- said cellar is said to look like a well-stoeked grocery store Besides the canned fruits. jellies and jams, there are big shelves filled with vegetables of many kinds. and others with chicken. sausage and other meat pro- ducts. In the granary there is plenty of wheat and corn. And in the barn and fields there is live stock.
 The farmer despite his long run of hard luck and the present ruinously low price of his products. is better off in such times as these than the city man. His taxes may be unpaid; but if the practices diversified farming. he is sure al least of food and shel- ter And he can barter for many things. He commands the basic neeessaries of existence.
