that up State will give large re-

the sure democratic majority Of the

Good News and Bad
So far as governmental finances are
concerned, there is no longer any APP
prehension about the credit of the
government of the United States at
home and abroad. A few days ago the
treasury offered a new issue OF bonds,
and more than six times as many peo-
pie offered to buy them as could be
accommodated.
The first matter of major Importance
which congress will have to tackle
when it meets again in December will
be the matter of government expenses
Work has already begun in every de
partment and branch of the govern
ment to scrutinize costs and find every
| possible place where they can be cut.
| The President has issued an order to
all Of his subordinates that at least
$500, 100000 must be Topped off.
Whether this can be done rests, of
course, with congress. No president has
any authority beyond that granted to
him by congress and whenever econ
omy is under discussion, everybody
who wants public money spent for his
particular pet bureau, department or
project, brings such pressure, to- bear
upon members of both houses that
it becomes very difficult for them to
resist repeal
This coming winter congress will
find itself facing even more difficult
problems than last winter. 1t IS fully
realized that9the demands for the relief
of unemployment and distress will be
heavier than ever. The question of an
immediate appropriation for the vet
Grams bonus will be an acute one from
| the moment congress meats.

eff Hack Wilson hits"
It's the big question mark OF
baseball, this. Among the direct
ing minds of Brooklyn it is more
than mere conjecture-or Specula-
tion-it is almost a pleading
prayer.
Find the answer to the ques-
ton and right in your lily white
hands may repoSe the answer to
the extent of the ripple the
Dodgers will make in baseball
waters this reason.
Hits In Exhibitions
A hitting Wilson of 1890 can
drive the Brooklyn machine far
and high up the baseball trails.
An important Hack Of 1881. The
little giant of MartinSburg is
helping to write his own answer
in his own peculiar fashion, as
the Dodgers continue stumbling
through their exhibition program.
The whacker is beginning to
find the range and he showed
how well he is coming around
with his exhibition against the
American League champion
Athletics yesterday. The Knights
lost, 9 to 7, with wilson's hitting
easily the most pleasing feature
despite the setback.
The whacker is popular in the
southlands. The sympathy and
leaning of the fans is in his
direction. At Tampa, at Lake
land and in these Clearwater
exhibition games, the fans have
been giving Hack the big hand.

ready with consolation when he
failed to connect.
Makes Three Hits
Hack needed little consolation
yesterday. Roy Mahaffey was
pitching for the AS. Mahaffey is
a pretty fair sort Of tosser.
wilson's first time up came in
the second inning. He waited for
the pitch he liked, sighted the
ball and sent it on lin to right
center for two bases.
In the thrd inning Wilson
again came up. Two were on.
Crack, again on a line, the
whacker struck, the ball plunking
in right for a single, scoring a
runner.
WhackS Homer
Came the fifth inning, Mahaf-
fey still pitching, two on and the
Dodgers trailing by three runs.
It was perfect setting, and Will
son made the most of it. He pro-
PEELED a high, fast one Of the
pack, behind the pines screen

In his fourth time at bat, with
Krausse, 19-year-old rookie
pitching, Wilson lifted a high fly

ter run.
Three hits in four times up,
five runs accounted for.

The Three Big BIS

You will know something Of
Washington's vital interest in
Lloyd Brown when you recall
that he is one of a trio Of left
handlers to come to this club
back in the seasons Of 1927
and 1928, threatening to give us
a nice little corner in South-
paw hurting. They were the
"three B'S"-Brown, Braxton and
Burke. Braxton has gone
hence, Burke has yet to prove
sustained greatness and Brown
has worked himself into the
position of being a regular.
That's another reason why it
is disconcerting to hear he is
having kinks and things in his
arm. OF the three lefties who
came to us four and five years
ago as neophytes, he is the one
to first prove his real worth,
and we, for one, don't want to
see misfortune fall upon him
at this time, when all hands
are leaning on him to turn
back the enemy in a big and
substantial way.

Joe has demonstrated that he
Is the "life of the party" during
the current drills. The popular
short-stopper looks as if he is in
for another whale of season like
that of two years ago, when he
blossomed out as star.
Cronin is in much better con-
dition than at this time last
year. The groin injury which
handicapped him throughout the
greater part of the 1881 campaign
is gone and the pains which used
to bother his arm after being
Socked there early last year, have
disappeared.
Ready to Go
Joe is ready to go right now.
The peppery individual is seeking
the ball as of old in the daily
stick drills. Also he is shifting
his feet just as the ball comes to
him in order to hit to the field
he wants to hit accomplishing
this feat a great deal better than
in 1881.
Despite the fact that it has
been terribly cold here in the past
few days, Cronin has insisted
that there be infield practice to
work up an appetite for lunch"
before the day is ended.
Cronin experienced quite an
off-year during 1891. The lad
couldn't get into his natural
stride. once that groin injury hit
him early in June. Before that
time he went great guns. He hit
well, fielded up to snuff, and con.
tinued to lead his teammates in
pep.
Way Off
But his entire play fell off
after the injury. A sock on the
arm while at bat one day also
helped to hinder his play and as
a result his season could be put
down as his worse since becoIn-
ing a Griff regular.
With it all, however, Joe man
aged to hit .3O6 and be among
those to lead in driving in runs.
Because his play was not up to
standard Of the year before, his
stock decreased and there was
nobody gladder when the season
ended than was Joe. "..-
A new season, a new person.
Cronin promises to display the
form of 1890.
Mike Martin is one who knows
when ball players are rarin' and
ready to go. In regards to
Crcnin. Mike says the peppery
shortstop is "oke" from head, to
foot.

weakness crop up in the slender

can help Brown outgrow his

the best in the busineSs-you
know.
We will alter that statement.
We will even go so far as to
say Mike is the very best in
