there are many Washington fans
who will enjoy reminiscing with
me of the Senators who won just
nine years ago.
The first indication that the
1924 team might have chance
for the pennant was during a
five-game series with the New
York Yankees, a most hectic
series which was finally won, and
the Washington team became
established in first place.
Fate Was Kind
And then began the days of
playing in games such as we
never had before. Fate was kind
to that little team of players,
with its one and only outstand-
ing star-Walter Johnson-but
many times during the last two
months we thought that fate had
turned thumbs down on us-only
to feel again that it was our year
and nothing would stop us from
winning.
wish that there was time and
space to print box scores of the
games of the last two months
of that season. 1t seems that
never a game was won or lost
until the last man in the final
inning was retired. The victories
were almost as strenuous to with
stand as the defeats, just as those
games which were played during
August and September of this
season at Griffith Stadium. In
playing against the present cham
pions during the last two weeks
of this season I could realize how
they called upon all the reserve
left to put over the winning game.
It was a pleasant afternoon
during one of the st. Louis
Browns off days to see Ossie
Bluege win the game with a hit
in the ninth after two were out
when all hope seemed gone.
McNeeIy and His Smile
Memories crowd, but do you all
remember when Earl MCNeely
Joined us? He came from out of
the West, and met his fellow
teammates with a broad smile.
His acquisition was one of the
most opportune events of the sea-
son, which was proved in the
world series. Credit for this goes
to Mr.. Clark Griffith and his far
sightedness. More of Clark and
his splendid cooperation later.
And do you recall that Curly
Ogden won nine straight games
for us that year-that Allen Rus
sell won five games while doing
splendid relief work? Little
thoughts perhaps in comparison
with the great victory but never
theless important in their con-
nection with the seasons results.
Comparisons bring to mind the
similarity of the teams Of 1924
and 1888. iWth no thought as
to so-called greatness, the makeup
of both teams can be likened to
each other with only a change
of names.
But let us give a few more
memories before bringing up the
present champs.
We went into Boston late in
September needing two games to
cinch the pennant. This was a
four-game series extending over
Sunday, there being no Sunday
ball in Boston at that time.
We won on Friday and then
lost a very hard-fought game on
Saturday, just when we expected
to be relieved of the strain over
the weekend. But there we were
with the longest Sunday on rec
ord keeping us waiting. There
was little sleep that Saturday
and Sunday night. Harry Lei
bold was seen both mornings
walking the streets of old Boston
just before sunrise.
And that was the series In

and did it only by the un-
conquerable spirit prevalent
throughout the entire member
ship of the team. Now, win
ming those games proved not
to be the easiest item in the
world. For in most every series
the opponent for the day put
up the toughest sort of battle,
the st. Louis Browns partic-
ularly, who forced every con-
test to the limit before the
Griffs finally won them.
The Washington times., 1933-09-30

against the Philadelphia AS
with President Franklin D.
Roosevelt looking on, this spirit
was an item of special note to
not only the thousands of fans
In the stands, but to the more
or less capable band of Phila-
delphia players who just had to
sit up and take notice because
of the peppy, vibrant opponents
they were facing.
Probably the best show of
spirit was shown by Cronin and
his merry family during the

Learned From British
Credit for this solution of the
money problem must be given, OBJ
servers here believe largely to Pro-
lessor O. M. W. Sprague, financial
adviser to the Treasury. Almost
alone among those high in Admin
.stration circles, Professor Sprague
understands international finance as
we'll as domestic monetary affairs.
He served for several years, al
though an American. as economic
adviser to the Bank of England. In
that position he became aware of
the methods used by the British to
control world prices to their own
advantage, and was able to- show
how the United States would con-
tinue to get the worst of it unless
we took a leaf our of London's
book.
Disappointment at the failure of
|NRA to Bring about miracles over

by the growing acceptance of the
major recovery program by bust
ness interests, who are finding that
there is more value to themselves
and to everybody else in cooperation
than unrestricted competition.
When the President said the other
night that it might take two years
or three years to restore the nation
to a state of reasonable and perma-
nent prosperity, he was rejecting
what experienced business men rea-
lie, what some of his advisers have
overlooked.

The Federal government has
started and planned an aggressive
drive for credit expansion. The
drive takes many forms. One is
renewed efforts to open banks
which remained closed after the
banking moratorium. Another is
to make possible greater credit
freedom in banks which are open
but are still operating under re-
strictions. Another is to increase
potential bank credit through open
market purchases by the Federal
Reserve. The public works pro-
gram enters into it., as does the
proposal to bolster basic industries
with government loans. This last
has already been done in the case
of the railroads; it will very likely
be extended to other industries in
the future.

In announcing that he has open

government of Russia looking to.
ward eventual recognition" O.
that nation, President Roosevelt,
does not, as we understand it, in.
dorse or advocate a Communistie
form of government. He recog.
nizes the fact that for sixteen year.
the Russian people have been de-
veloping a new form of govern
ment, that that government ha:
survived and is apparently strong
enough to continue indefinitely
and that it is the Russian peoples
own business as to what form their
government takes.
In its early days the Soviet ex-
pertinent was accomplished by loud
threats of world devolutos. We
understand that those threats were
largely due to the belief that a
C~apitalistic world would not toll
crate a single Communistic expert
ment, and that in order for it to
succeed it would be necessary to
convert all the rest of the world.
The Soviet leaders have learned diff
ferent by now; they have discover
ed that the rest Of the world
doesn't care what they do inside
their own nation. Little is heard
these days of the danger of the
spread of Communism.
1t seems I'd us that it is reason
able for the United States to rec
ognize the right of Russia to be
considered a world nation as it is
to regard Italy, under a dictator,
or Japan, under an absolute mon
arch, as having equal rights with
ourselves. None of them has our
form of government but we would
be last to try to impose our ideas
upon them.
Recognition of Russia ought to
open up trade channels which are
now impeded, and create a much
more friendly feeling among all
the nations. To be sure. there are
several other matters to be settled.
Will the Soviet government recog-
nize the debts owed by the old
Russian government to the United
States, and restore the American
property which it confiscated:
That and other questions neec
answering before recognition car
be generally acceptable.
