HOSE R|GHT-HANDER
OBTAINED FOR CASH
Newcomer, 81, Veteran OF
Six Seasons, Is Rated
a Smart Boxman.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON,
Sports Editor, The Star.

Sports Editor, The star.
A L THOMAS, veteran right
" hand pitcher of the Chi
n cago White Sox, today was
purchased by the Nationals
and will join them Immediately
at st. Louis, according to an
nouncement made by President
Clark Griffith.
Thomas, who was 80 years old
last December 20, now is engaged
in his seventh big league cam
paign, having become a member
of the Chicago team, with which
he has played exclusively, begin
ming with the 1926 season, after
being obtained from Baltimore Of
the International League in ex-
change for Outfielder Maurice
Archdeacon and an 'unannounced
sum of cash.
A heady pitcher, who when In form
possesses a fast ball that makes him a
formidable moundsman, Thomas in 1880
suffered an injury to his arm which
resulted in his winning but 5 games
that year as against 13 defeats, where
previously he had been consistent
winner with a weak club that was con-
fined constantly to the second division.
Recovering to great extent last sea-
son from his wing ailment, Thomas
notched 10 victories as against IA set
backs. and topped it off with a pair
of brilliantly pitched triumphs over the
Cubs in the Chicago series last Fall.
Thus far this season he has split even
in six contests.
Home Is in Baltimore.
Thomas. who was born in Baltimore,
where he still makes his home, Is feet
10 inches in height, weighs ITS pounds,
and got his start In professional base
ball with the Buffalo club In 1918, and
after three seasons there was shifted to
the Orioles, with whom he performed
for five years before going to the White
SoX
With a good minor league record back
of him, Thomas was success from the
start with the Pale Hose, winning Is
games and losing IL in his debut year
and following with marks Of 10 and 16,
IT and 16 and IA and 18 in subsequent
seasons before developing that kink In
his f1ipper.
The addition Of Thomas, following
the acquisition Of Dick Coffman from
the Browns, gives the Nationals eight
hurlers and unless something unforeseen
crops up they will make the remainder
of the pennant race with that staff.
According to the washington club
prexy several clubs put in claims for
Thomas when Chicago announced II
was willing to dispose OF him and the
Nationals had to go above the waiver
price of $500 to gain title to MS
services.
Sox Guarantee Sound Arm.
"Thomas is well worth taking a chance
on" Griff asserted in discussing his
latest ACQUISITION. THE White SoS
have guaranteed there Is nothing now
wrong with his pitching arm and at the
age Of 80 he combines experience WITH
the reasonable expectancy OF several
additional seasons of f1rst-class service
Thomas Is q fine fellow personally
of exemplary habits, and with TINS
change Of environment and the much
more formidable support he will receive
should prove valuable addition to our
staff. He is a smart player who helds
his position well and rounds out sta1
of eight pitchers all Of whom nave a
chance to win any time they start"

Papa" Haydn is said to have
lived. The house where he
died, in the Haydngasse, is
carefully preserved.
Mozart lived in Vienna, COM
ing there from Salzburg in
1852. He and his sister came
accompanied by their father,
and while still young, gave con-
certs that took the world by
storm. It was as a young man
in Vienna that Mozart learned
all the little intrigues and ad-
ventures that figure so in his
operas such as Don Giovanni"
"The Magic Flute" and other
similar works.
The fame of Vienna brought
Beethoven thither, having come
from Bonn as a youth to visit
Mozart. He received his muSi-
cal education in Vienna and his
fame came to him there. Many
tablets are affixed to the differ
ent houses where he lived. He
preferred the lovely suburbs
with their verdant forests.
The "Eroica" was written in
Dobling, while the Ninth Sym
phony was written in Baden,
near Vienna. In different sub
urbs there is a "Beethoven's
Walk" or a "Beethoven's Rest"
Who does not know Schubert,
that true Viennese child of
song? Poor, even hungry, his
happy heart never failed him
and in his immortal songs, SYM
phonies and other compositions
are all the typical Viennese
tears and laughter, intermixed,
with a plaintive, wistful note
running through.

Suddenly a gorilla appeared

ideas of right and wrong?
Right and wrong never change.
Right is always right. 1t is
the one thing, we are sure Of.
Writers like you do a lot of
harm, setting people wonder
ing about such things"
So you don't like the notion
that morals wobble, stranger?
I agree, it is a bit upsetting.
But facts are facts. Don't
quarrel with me about 'em;
read your history. Somewhere,
sometime, we humans may
find a permanent standard of
goodness - but we certainly
haven't discovered it yet. So
far, our rules of right and
wrong have changed almost as
often as our fashions.
In Bible Times
It was fright" in Biblical
times for a father to stone an
impertinent child to death, or
to abandon on the desert a
wife of whom he had tired.
It was fright" in the early
days of the Christian church
for a godly man to cut off his
servants ears or throw him
into a dungeon for life, for
some petty misdemeanor.
It was fright" IN our own
country, for a man to own
slaves, and to sell the children
of these slaves away from their
parents.
., It was right" no longer ago
than so years, for an American
father to will away his unborn
babe from the mother; for, a
husband to beat his wife "pro-

to shelter his mistress under
the same roof as his wife, the
wife being denied the privilege

THE Foreign Legion of
ant ti-American propa-
gandists in America are ju-
bilant openly because France
and two of her allies have
refused to make the pay
ment on her debt. Most of
us will much prefer the atti-
tude of Herriot, the former
French Premier, who posi-
lively refuses to re-enter the
government without the as
surance from Parliament
that the signature of France
will be honored. While the
Foreign Legion of America
is rejoicing over the refusal
of France to pay, the people
of England properly are
proud of the manly manner
in which they have met
their obligation.
The Foreign Legion tells
us that the amount we lose
and have to raise by the
taxation Of our people is
very small, but fails to men,
tion the reverse. If an in
significant thing for us to
make up by taxation for the
loss from five nations, it
would seem to the vulgar
that the cost Of payment for
each of the five nations
might be even less appal-
ling.
Meanwhile, France is be-
coming a bit dubious about
the wisdom Of her action.
Many Frenchmen believe
with Herriot that not only
policy but honor was in
volved, and that France will
lose infinitely more than she
saves.
The one man who comes
out of the furry with flying
colors is Herriot, whose plea
for the meeting of the obli-
cation must have been dis
tasteful to the American
Foreign Legion.
1t unquestionably was dis
tasteful to Mr.. Hoover and
the international bankers
who, according to Herriot,
gave an impression that has
not been borne out by
events.

No Need for
Hectic Haste

In view of the mess that
has been made Of the whole
debt situation, it is just as

Roosevelt assumes the re-
sponsibilities of office be.
fore doing anything more.
Mr.. Hoover still is bent on
another debt commission,
apparently to reconsider the
debts of France and the
other defaulters, along with
those Of England. That GER
tainly will not meet with
popular approval. Since
Congress has taken it's stand
on the creation Of another
commission and Mr.. Roose-
velt has taken a position
in favor Of another means
of negotiation, it is said that
the President may, on his
own responsibility, name a
bipartisan commission COM
posed of some members of
Congress, including Demo-
Gratis, without the consent
Of Congress.
In view of the mess that
has been made by impress
sions given the debtors by
til Administration and
bankers, who do not in any
sense authoritatively speak
for the nation, it is not
likely that any Democrat
will serve. By doing so he
would demonstrate an in
difference to Mr.. Roosevelt,
who must not be embar-
rassed by a policy not in
accord with his own plan.
Nor is it likely that he
who so soon is to assume
the responsibility of the
Presidency will consent to
act at this juncture as a
mere eyes, yes" man of the
present Administration.
Until the defaulting ma
tions pay what they owe,
there is no occasion for ne
gotiations with them through
any commission; and since
the next payment does not
fall due from England until
after Mr.. Roosevelt takes
office, there is no need for
hectic haste.

Vienna and music! These
two words have become inSep-
arabic. And although much Of
the old glory of Vienna is
dimmed, it is worth while to
make a pilgrimage to that still
lovely city If one has love and
reverence for the immortal
masters. One can walk through
old Vienna following in the
footsteps Of Mozart, the
Strausses, Haydn, Gluck, Bee
thoven, Bra Inns, Schubert,
Schumann and others too nu-
merous to list here.
Surely for the true music
lover, such a sentimental pill
grimage is something not to be
lightly missed, even if the
opera and the Vienna Philhar-
monic are not as perfect as
they once were.
Music has always had an
honored place in Vienna ever
since the thirteenth century
when the reigning archduke,
Albert I, formed a court Or
chestra and interested himself
in rehearsals and performances.
With the reign of Maria The
resa, the long, unbroken series
Of illustrious composers and
performers began.
Gluck was the first of the
line, having come to Vienna as
a young. struggling artist. Then
came Haydn. Like Schubert
and Beethoven, he must have

France or any other coun-
try against the U nit d
States. By making her pay
ment in the old-fashioned,
time-honored English way,
that understanding" is a
thing Of the past.
But he said another thing
which is not so good. He
announced that the Middle
West here is against trans
ferring the debts of the
debtor nation to the Ameri-
can taxpayers, but that the
East, which is better in
formed" is in favor of it.
This illustrates anew the
traditional laundering of
foreign publicists and states
men in their search for
American sentiment. We
have commented upon it be-
fore. When they visit New
York city, for example, they
make no contacts with the
average man. They are
taken in tow by a small
group who pride themselves
on their internationalism,
and are apt to speak to the
sojourner apologetically of
Of the mass of our people.
And they get an entirely
erroneous impression of what
even New York is thinking.
Put to a vote in New York
city the proposition to trans
fer the debts and it would
be defeated by an over
whelmlng majority. It is
not the Middle West that is
against the transfer; it is
America.
