DEATH REEVES
BROWNS SALE

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 23.-With the
death of Phil Ball, owner of the
st. Louis Browns, speculation was
rife today as to what would be-
come of his ball club.
Each season that the Browns
finished sin the red," which was
nearly every season the club
would be "sold" by members Of
the hot stove league.
The possibility that Harry Sin
clair, the oil man who had been
partner with Ball in the old
Federal League, might acquire the
Browns was voiced in some quar-
tiers. Sinclair was expected here
for the funeral.
Clark Griffith, president of the
Washington baseball club, is on
his way to st. Louis today to at
tend the funeral of Phil Ball, de-
ceased owner of the st. Louis
Browns.
Mr.. Ball died yesterday after a
long illness. Outstanding leaders
of baseball are expected to attend,
besides Griffith, the funeral to be
held tomorrow at Ferguson, q
suburb of St. Louis.

game a field at a rental cost
of not more than 10 per cent
of the gross receipts of any
G. w. contest.
Notice to this effect-sharp no.
tice, in unmistakable terms which
leave no room for quibbling over
the minutae of detail-has been
served on James E. Pixlee, direc-
tor of athletics and head coach
of football for George Washing
ton University.
Take Away Star Teams
Further, unless G. w. officials
Immediately and clearly indicate
a desire and a willingness to
meet the foregoing two condi-
tons, word will go forth which
quite efficaciously will accom-
plish the purpose of taking away
from G. w. all opportunities of
meeting major elevens of the
country.
Notice to this effect also has
been received by G. w. athletic
officials from spokesman repre-
senting practically all major OPP
ponents on G. WIS 1888 schedule.
This whole subject is brought
under the spotlight of publicity
at this time because of the igno-
minious position into which ALL
burn, Auburn's 1888 grid squad,
Auburn's brilliant coach, Chef
Wynne, and Auburn'S supporters
have been forced through train
of circumstances which began
when G. w. took a scoreless tie
game against Clemson College
rather than to defeat Clemson
by use of players perfectly eligible
to play against Clemson accord
ing to contract.
G. w. refused to use seven of
it's best players, constituting IS
per cent of G. WIS football
ability, against Clemson, in order
not to jeopardize Clemson's stand
ing in the latter's conference.
Violate Agreement
With all due respect to G. WIS
"gallantry in rushing to the aid
of Clemson" Gas it was put to
G. W., G. w. in so doing VIC
lated an unwritten agreement
with every major opponent on
G. WIS 1888 schedule.
'WhiIe G. w. was not COM
PEELED by its contract with
Clemson to withhold any por-
ton of G. WIS football strength
against Clemson, G. w. actually
withheld no less than IS per
cent of its strength" wrote
the representative of one major
G. w. opponent in addressing
himself to Pixlee. This act of
gallantry on the part of G. w.
The Washington times., 1933-10-23

toward Clemson, in order to
protect that team in its own
little conference, was a nice
show of fairness and generosity
to Clemson, but it was decidedly
unfair and ungenerOus to the
several major opponents which
G. w. plays in 1888 and which
G. w. plans to play in 1894
and 1885,"
Then followed the ultimatum
to G. w., an ultimatum which
was quickly followed by several
others, all from major opponents
which c.. w. either has booked
or plans to book for the seasons
of 1888, 1884 and 1885, indicat-
ing that the big fellows stand to-
gether and don't particularly care
for what they term "a senti-
mental conscience"
Very Sharp Words
One spokesman for major
G. w. opponent of 1888 NOT
Auburn) spoke the following
WOGNS 70 S4A4ee.
''When you withheld from
the G. W.-ClemsOn game seven
of your best players, in order to
satisfy the whims of a confer
ence leader, you not only vio-
lated an unwritten agreement
with G. WIS major fOemen, but
you permitted use Of Wayne
Davenport, a hastily-made full
back, when that player had a
badly bruised shoulder which
took away 80 per cent of his
ability as a player. Further,
you continued Davenport in
the game when he was a use
less player because of G. WIS
desire to lean over backward
to protect Clemson in the lat
ter's conference. You must
realize that in the future you
must give thought to your
major opponents"

COAST OFFER

They keep pouring in, but Clark
Griffith, president of the Wash

and say nothing.
The latest is from Los Angeles.
The report claims that "only word

fore arrangements are closed"
And what is all this, you ask.

Pauline had nothing but forth

A chorus of boos greeted Car

This increased in the final round

list, S up. He ended the match
on the twenty-eighth hole when
he sank a birdie and copied from

Hauber was cratic in his

and after the first nine holes,
when he was continually in

what hole the match would end.

of the the 1888 George Washing

In the first place, the chalky

tastic on a breast of blue, give
off the impression of some
thing you might see stalking
the shadows of a graveyard

TOCk MARKET
. STEAMED UP
OVER RAILS
BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

by WALL SIhEEI SfEC1A1On
NEW YORK, May 2 G.N.S0.
Wall Street continues to be on
the up and up. The market
started some more high jinks
yesterday but got tired out and
quieted down before the close.
The pace has been terrific, so
that the sell-off was not surpris-
ing. In fact, most traders jump
ed out on the bulge, expecting
q real shakeout, but nothing like
it developed. It's an amazing
market, and one that still has q
legion Of friends.
It's extraordinary how they're
getting steamed up on the rails.
The Atchison, st. Paul. and
Missouri Pacific traffic gains are
largely responsible, plus the
imminence Of the Administrators
rail aid bill. Add to this the fact
that the induStrialS are humping
last summers highs while the
rails are still plenty behind and
you have the speculative picture.
Naturally there has been re-
vival of all kinds of bull tips and
stories. Now all the rails have to
do is to come through.
More important, though, is that
the traffic reports confirm the
decided improvement in business.
Private estimates indicate that
the winter wheat crop will hardly
be more than about $4,000, 900
bushels.

District Education Association Will
Seek to Quicken Attitude
Of Public.

A vigorous membership campaign will

The drive was decided upon at the asso-

James Suber was named director Of
the membership drive. In urging an
enlarged membership, speakers cited the
increased demands on education this
year in the face of decreased financial
support, the curtailment Of educational
service and equipment, with increased
teaching burdens on instructors, and
lowered salaries. The association will
undertake to remedy these conditions
this year, 1t was agreed, and the best
approach, the members decided, was
through increased membership.
