Not the least of these will be
Beaver Dams debut in the Dis
trict League tomorrow night
against Occidental Hotel at Rem
devious. The bowling divot-dig-
gers are taking over Rendezvous
franchise under the leadership of
the incompatible AL Fischer.
Maybe we haven't a chance
to get anywhere, but we are
certainly going to make things
uncomfortable for some of those
stellar combinations" opineS AL.
"The boys have plenty of pep
and are ambitious as all getOut.
We might start tomorrow night
spreading ruin and disaster
who knows? If we don't it
won't be our fault"
Rendezvous is third from the
bottom. The Beaver Dam crew
is hopeful, at least, of climbing
up into the first division. The
team will include, besides Fischer,
who is carrying a 119 average,
Billy La Billie, Henry Phipps, Mar
tin Mccarthy, Clarence Purdy
and Charlie Barnard.
Golf League Lineup
It is the same lineup which is
running away with the Golf Clubs
League pennant. The team aver
ages SOS in that loop.
Thursday four champions will
foregather at Bethesda to try con-
clusions. Henry Hiser, National
All-events 5-year king, and Tony
Santini, 1882 Campbell Sweep
stakes and G. w. Sweepstakes
winner. will finish their doubles
match with Ray Won Dreele. Bal
timore's great veteran, and Ray
Barnes, 1882 U. S. Sweepstakes
champ, and present Dixie title
holder. Henry and Tony are II
pins in the van.
But Saturday will be the busiest
night with the fourth annual
SouthpaW Sweepstakes at George
town Recreation, at 7:30, the Hus-
band and Wife tournament at
the Arcadia at o'clock and the
concluding tusSle between the
Happy Five, and Henry
HiSer's Bethesda All-Stars at Beth
esda at 8 o'clock.
Ed Schlegel, who is staging the
left-handed test, is tickled to
death over the response he is re-
ceiving. Already some twenty port
siders have pledged their entries.
Only five games will be rolled, so
that the third and fourth and
even the fifth rate fork-handers
have a real chance of victory.
Another point that appeals to the
dub" southpaw is the small entry
fee, 81.
Fraser Pleased
Monk Fraser is also pleased
over the entry list for his hus-
band and wife event. Twenty-six
couples have Signified their inten-
ton of shooting for the handsome
trophy which will be presented to
the winners. Entrants are charged
only for the games rolled and this
IS another big selling point.
Hiser's lineup against the
Orioles at Bethesda will include
Santini, Charley Watson,
Howard Parsons. Ray Huffman
and Joe Harris. The Baltimoreans
will bank on Won Dreele, Herman
6ullick, Carl Eissele, Henry Miller
and Andy Zeiler. The Hiserites
are trailing by 140 pins.
Bill Wood Busy
In the meantime, Bill Wood is
ousily engaged completing plans

REAL TRIAL At
BILOXI CAMP
BY GARRETT WATERS


It's an old saying that baseball
owners believe in preparedness.
Officials of the Washington Griff-
men have this thought in mind as
the time nears for the 1888
spring training season of the club.
Carrying out the idea, Presi.
dent Clark Griffith and Man
ager Joe Cronin have had 1t
mapped out all winter to trans
port Cecil Travis, their young
third baseman, to Biloxi earlier
than the scheduled arrival Of
the final guard of players due to
report ON or about March 4.
Travis, they feel, may become
most important cog in the
destinies of the club in another
year or so-maybe this year
and because of this fact they
want to get an early line on his
ability. Also they want to give
him plenty of opportunity to get
going naturally as his Southern
League record stamps him as
a hitter of parts and a fielder
that is not the worst in the
world.
To Report March
The young infielder will arrive
at Biloxi headquarters March /,
as per the plans, getting to the
scene of activities just one week
after the arrival of the host of
pitchers and catchers due to take
the journey either from Wash
ington or their homes next Tues

Travis is a big, handsome
Southern lad, weighing 1876 pounds
and standing 6 feet 11a inches.
His home is in Riverdale, Ca,
and he's been in professional
baseball only two years.

Griff and Cronin, although they
might decide not to name their

Water Training Enjoyed
Today AT The Weeping
Willow Pool

The two local Boy Scout troops
met last night and installed
temporary patrol leaders for this

ed the following officers: Robert
Brown, Beaver patrol; Flying
Eagle, Jack Gesser; and John
McGuin.
This morning through the cour-
tesy Of the manager Of the
Weeping Willow pool both troops
went through water training.
Some of the scouts were given
training in swimming, others in
diving. and water sports. Some
Of the most important training
was that Of life saving. Methods
of rescueing a drowning person
safely was taught the scouts.
Artificial respiration was dem
onstratcd and practiced by the
boys. Training like this is very
valuable and the Scout troops
and committees thank the manager
Of the Weeping Willow pool for
the use of the pool for such inn
rOrtant training.
Because many have asked no"
to become a Tenderfoot Scout the
following is piyen: "know the

Scout sign and handclasp; know
the Scout salute and when to
use it; know the significance Of

ment appropriating 0,OOC,GOC

The public works program will
be financed by selling $1,000
100000 worth Of bonds. To pay
interest and to create a fund to
retire the bonds, it is necessary
to raise $220,000,000 annually
through taxation.
As passed by the house, it IS
proposed to get that money by
increasing the gasoline tax from
one cent a gallon to ! 81 cents
and to raise the income tax rates
on the lower brackets. There
also is a provision for continual
ton of the nuisance taxes" such
as those on theatre tickets.
Two important amendments
were added to the bill as the
night session neared its close.
One was by Senator Clerk, DEM,
Mo-, which would make all tax
exempt securities, such as gov
eminent bonds, liable to taxation.
The other was by Senator La
Toilette. Repn., Wis. providing
that all income tax returns shall
be made a matter of public rec
ord.
The sales tax was defeated
when Senator Reed, RCpn., Penna.
sought to impose Il ] 81 general
levy which would
have repealed a long list Of eX-
else taxes. The Democratic majo
ritv rallied and overwhelmingly
defeated Reeds amendment.

NATIONAL RECOVERY
BILL PASSES SENATE

be controlled because w;gc levels
never can be stabilized while the
cut-throat policy is in effect.
This bill sets up the federal gov
eminent as a partner in helping
business men arrive at produc-
ton quotas.
Take a hypothetical case-the
shoe manufacturers. Jones, Smith
and Brown are manufacturers of
shoes. Under this bill the heads
of the firms, Brown, Jones anC
Smith meet to work out their
problems. They agree to limit
working hours to 40 a week.
They agree to pay a minimum
wage of $40 a week. They allot
production by totalling the num-
Der Of shoes they will manufac-
ture. Brown is to produce SO 1-3
per cent of the total; Jones
33 1-3 per cent; Smith SO Is
per cent.
They submit these regulations
to the federal governments
representative - the administra-
tor of the shoe industry. He APP
proves the code and it automa-
tically becomes law. If Brown,
Jones or Smith violates the code
he is liable to federal prOsecu-
ton.
Suppose that Green is a fourth
shoe manufacturer who does not
enter into the agreement. He
works his employees so. hours a
week and pays them $40 a week
salary. Thus he is able to sell
shoes for $3.50 a pair whereas
Smith. Jones and Brown have to
sell for SO a pair. Smith, Jones
and Brown report Green to the
federal government. saying his
low prices are driving them to-
ward ruin.
1t is then that the government
falls back on its most powerful
weapon-the licensing provision.
The administrator tells Jones,
Brown, Green and Smith that he
has decided to license the shoe
industry in that section OF the
country.
Brown. Jones and Smith-who
have been operating their own
code-get licenses Immediately
and continue to operate. Green
is given the choice of abiding by
the code, in which case he gets a
license, or of going out of bust
ness for lack of a license.
So far, many industries have
evinced a willingness to cooper
ate. The coal industry already
has been "sold" on the bill by
Hugh S. Johnson, who is schedul-
ed to play an important part in
the administration of the mea-
sure.
Obviously, organized labor is
an ardent supporter Of the mea-
sure because minimum wages
and maximum working hours
have long been the two big planks
in their platform.
Advotes of the bill contend it
will:
/. Abolish the sweatshop.
2. Prevent towering business
booms or deep deppressions by
stabilizing industrial production.
3. Restore purchasing power
to millions of jobless. Opponents
of the bill contend it will:
l. Set America on the path
toward fascism or communism by
destroying individual initiative.
2. Work to the disadvantage
of the small, Independent manu-
facturer who will be submerged
by the large firms which will
have the most votes when it
comes time to daw up the codes.
3. Relax the antitrust legisla-
ton to the extent that all the
progress" made under those
laws will be lost.
! The bill has unlimited ramifi-
