Rotarians, Kiwanans, Among Ctys Civic Clubs to Back
Buege Day Celebration Sept 9 At Griffith Stadium

Washington civic organizations
have gone hook, line and sinker
for the Ossie Bluege Day at Grif-
filth Stadium Saturday, Septem-
ber 9, being sponsored by The
Times and of which Postmaster
General James A. Farley is chair
man.
To an organization, they have
passed resolutions praising the
merits of Ossie Bluege as player
and gentleman. The Times has
also received the wholesale adula-
ton of these clubs for undertake
ing to award an honor to great
ball player which has long been
coming to him.
In the case of the Rotary Club
of Washington. the Ossie Bluege
Day has been placed on the Sep
tember calendar with an earnest
recommendation that Rotarians
turn out for this tribute to Wash
ington'S outstanding ball player
Rotarians are also contributing
generously to the Bluege gift fund
as individuals.
The KiWanianS have also passed
an OsSie Bluege Day resolution,
authorizing their president, Dewey
zirkin, to represent their men,
berS on Postmaster General Far
ley's committee. Mr.. Zirkin has
been an active baseball fan for
years and his KiWanis is pulling
a lot of nickels and dimes and
quarters and SO cent pieces, to
say nothing of dollars, into the
fund with which Bluege is to be
purchased a suitable token of es-
TEEN and appreciation from the
fans.
Mooney Treasurer
Postmaster William Mooney is
treasurer of this fund and con-
tributions also may be left at

Another popular and effective
organization which is putting in
its licks for the Bluege Day fund
is the Early Birds Breakfast Club
which dimes every Tuesday morn
ing at The Willard at 7:45 o'clock.
That's a pretty early hour for
breakfast for a lot of people but
they have a 100 per cent turn
out each Tuesday and some of
the talks and speeches are the
brightest and cleverest you ever
heard. Mems minds are so much
clearer early in the morning than
they are later in the day or at
evening functions when so many
are called upon to talk, and if
you want to enjoy real gather
ing of witty and alert minds, get

Inc Times is giving away lU
tickets to the local games to
those fans who come nearest to
choosing the same players for
their teams that Babe Ruth does.
If, by any chance, Washington
should be nosed out for the pen
nant, The Times will take two
winners coming nearest to Ruth's
team, to the first two games of
the series to be played in the Ma
tional League city and will pay
all expenses.
To earn ticket, you must ac-
company your list with an eX-
planatory letter of $50 words or
less, giving your reasons for Sc
lecting the combination you be-
lieve most formidable. To earn a
ticket, you have to exercise real
judgment, have thorough knowl-
edge of happenings in big league
baseball, and have logical back
ground for the placement of the
players. In other words, you
have to be a real dyed-in-the-
wool fan and not just a lucky in
dividual. Both your team and
reasons will be taken into con-
sideration in awarding prizes.
The contest closes September
8, at midnight and letters re-
ceived with a later postmark
positively will not be considered.
CrOnin Popular
Several players are favorites
with all of the fans. We have
yet to receive list which doesn't
include the name of Washington's
inspirational young leader-Joe
Cronin, in the shortstop'S po-
Sition.
But so long as there are 10
players to be selected from a list
of eligibles which numbers more
than $50 names, it IS inevitable
that there should be some differ
enceS of opinion among the many
baseball fans. Third base finds
an assorted number OF favoriteS.
Hansford Simmons, of 902 Mas
sachuSettS Ave. N. E., picks a
Washington boy, Bill Werber, for
mer Tech High and Duke Univer-
sity star, as his hoU-corner guar
dian.
"Many a man has failed to .
make that last sack because
Werber stopped him." he says.
'He is one of the reasons for
the Red SOx'S stand"
Pepper" Martin, Frank Hig-
gins, of the Athletics, and our
own Ossie Bluege are other
choices. Donald Maloy, of 1915
Park Road N. w., likes West in
centerfield instead of ManuSh or
Berger, whom the majority Sc
lected. Washington's represen-
tativeS on the lists include Ma
nush, Schultz, Bluege, Cronin,
Crowder and Whitehill.
Here is a selection from Nah
lon P. Lepperd, of the Army War
College Dispensary:

Rules for Winning
Trip to Next
World Series

The 10 contestants coming
nearest to the Ruth selection
and submitting the best reason
for selections will be declared
the winners. They will see the
first block of world series
games played in Washington as
guests of The Washington Times.
If Washington is not in the
series, then the two CD contest
ants most nearly approXimating
Ruth's team will see the first
two games of the world series
played in the National League
city competing. All winning ties
will receive the same award.
Contestants must not only
try to select the same team as
Babe Ruth picks but must at
tempt to arrange it in the
same batting order as those on
Ruth's team. The two pitchers
will be named last and in that
only one pitcher could be in
the game at once, it will make
no difference which pitcher is
placed first in the batting
order.
A player may be placed in a
position other than his regular
position, provided he has occu-
pied the alternate position in
one or more games this season.
All players on all major
league teams are eligible ex-
cept Babe Ruth. Ruth will not
select himself.
Address all selections to Babe
Ruth Contest Editor, Sporting
Department, The Washington
Times, Washington, D. c.
Each selection must be &C
companied by a letter of $50
words or less giving the reasons
for the selection.
If possible use the coupon
printed on the Sports Page for
submitting your team. The
contest closes at midnight, Sep
tember 8, and the winners will
be announced as soon there
after as possible.

POLICE HAL I
DIAMOND
SCUFFLE
BY SID KATZNELL


The sun was trying it's darned-
est to pass the big black cloud
over the South Ellipse diamond
yesterday when the Dixie Pigs and
the Government Printing Office
baseball teams began their De-
partmental Industrial Leagues
special challenge series game.
They played three innings i'll al
most sunlight, when all of sud
den 1t began to rain, and it came
down in torrents, but play con-
tinued until three and onc-half
innings had been completed The
Pigs were leading, l to 0, when
Umpire George Watt called halt.
Fists Fly
"Fee" Colliere, rotund catcher
and manager of the Pigs, evi.
dently thought the game shouldn't
have been called, and he started
to argue with Watt. This led to
fiSticuffS. Colliere swung his right,
which had his catcher's mitt
clutched in it, at Watts phiz.
George swung back with his left,
when a park police intervened.
The game will be replayed
Thursday at 5 o'clock on the
South Ellipse. Walter Beall, for
mer New York Yankee hurler,
pitched for the Pigs while Pete
Ingram worked for the G. P. o.
nine.
Eddie Colliflower, star baseball
player of the Bureau of Investiga-
ton Sleuths, will probably be lost
to his team the rest of the cur
rent season.
COlliflOwer In Wreck
Colliflower was coming home
from Charlottesville, Va, Sunday,
where he had performed with the
Charlottesville Cardinals, when
the automobile which Colliflower
was riding in collided with an
other and as a result Eddie is
suffering badly wrenched shoul-
der and several broken ribs.
This department has learned
from reliable sources that Larry
Boerner, former Boston Red SoX
and District Sandlot hurler, was
offered $500 by the New York
Yankees to pitch the remainder
Of the season, but he refused be-
cause he said that his arm is not
in the best of shape to hurl big
league baseball.
At present Boerner is twirling

FOOD COMPANIES
PLEDGE SUPPORT
Favor Roosevelt Program
Pending Adoption of Code
for Industry.

Support of President Roosevelt'S pro-
gram for reduced working hours and
increased wages has been pledged by
representatives of food manufacturing
companies pending adoption OF code
for their industry
r. r. Deupree, chairman of the FOOD
Industries Advisory Board, assured Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace yesterday
of the food manufacturers support.
The group of 20 representatives Of food
industries discussed application of the
farm act to their particular business.
Marketing Code Seen.
Out of the discussions may come a
code on marketing practice agreements
for the industry. Administrators Of the
farm act are expecting cooperation
from the food men to eliminate prac-
tices which have been construed as
having had a depressing effect on
prices paid producers.
Specifically, complaints have been
made against the habit of selling one
commodity at loss to customers and
of price cutting generally. The food
men also are being depended upon to
help prevent too rapid increase in
foodstuffs generally while the process
of raising the price to the producer is
going on.
While the conference with the Food
Board was continuing, Secretary Wal
lace announced that licensing powers
under the farm bill might be invoked
to make any marketing agreement ef-
fective Where the licensing system is
used, formal permission must be given
handlers of farm commodities before
they may do business. If they do not
live up to the terms of an agreement
reached under the farm act, the per-
mission will not be given.
Refers to PerishabIe Goods.
The Secretary of Agriculture made
his announcement with particular
reference to proposed agreements affect
ing perishable products, such as fresh
fruit Wallace added also that the
licenses. if deemed necessary. would be
applied to all persons handling the
commodity or commodities affected
whether or not they signed the market
ing agreement.
Among the members of the Food
Beard attending the meeting were
