~ base ball player to make
an uncertain manager
that was the opinion
when Clark Griffith, president of
the Washington Senators, picked
young Joe Cronin last October to
pilot the club, succeeding 45-year-
old Walter Johnson.
In his four full seasons with Wash
ington young Cronin had become the
best shortstop in the American League,
if not in both major leagues. A bril-
liant fielder and strong hitter, he had
risen to prominence so rapidly that In
his third year in the big show he was
voted the most valuable player in his
league. Yet base ball feared the burden
of the managership would wear down
his playing ability.
How Cronin has confounded these
pessimists is history. Given a cluo
strengthened by a series of Winter
trades. the next to youngest manager
ever in the big leagues not only plloted
his team to commanding lead, but
maintained his own high standard OF

STATES IN ROW
OVER POWER
PROJECTS
Colorado Fears Public Works
Unit Will Divert Water;
Park Land to Be Bought

The Public Works Administra-
ton today encountered it's first
quarrel between States when
Gov. johnson of Colorado
appealed to President Roosevelt
for the privilege of presenting
Colorado's water claims before a
contract is let for the Casper
Alcova power and reclamation
project is let.
Colorado is fearful that build
ing of the $22,700,000 project on
the North Platte River in Wyom-
ing will divert water to wyoming
and Nebraska which otherwise
could be used for irrigation pur-
poses in Colorado.
To Buy Park Land
President Roosevelt has signed
an order allotting $1,5O0,000 of
public works funds for the pur-
chase of additional land in the
Great Smoky Mountain National
Park of Tennessee and North
Carolina, officials of the Ma
tional Park Service were advised
today.
Negotiations are underway for
purchase of the land and the
amount to be added to the park
depends upon the price the Gov
ernment must pay.
The park, which embraces some
Of the most rugged scenery in the
East, was made possible by
gift of $5,000,000 from John D.
Rockefeller, jr, conditioned on
the State and citizens raising a
like amount.
The contribution from indi-
viduals fell short $500,000 and
part of the public works fund will
be used to make up this de-
ficiency.
For Forest Workers
The new land purchased will
be utilized by reforestation camps
during the winter.
Allotments from the public
works fund, which have passed
the billion dollar mark, were to
be further increased today by the
Public Works Board.
Proposals are before the board
for the financing of modern
tenement houses on a big scale,
which would provide low-rent
housing for many workers. Link
ed with this is the proposal for
housing in the suburbs of big
cities. where workers can raise
part of their own foodstuffs.
The board also was to consider
letter from Joseph B. Eastman,
railroad coordinator, urging use
Of public works funds to elirni-
nate railroad grade crossings.
Additional public roads assign
ments announced by the Public
works Administration include
California, $15,6O7, 1854; Colorado,
$6,874,530; Wyoming, $4,501,327,
and Hawaii, $1.871,062
