S|ROV|CH PLANS
j. 8. APPEAL
BUREAU
Representative to Renew
Fight to Establish Agency
To Aid Federal Clerks

Extension of the proposed ap-
pellate system for aggrieved Ted
eral employees is being planned by
Representative William 1. Siro-
vich CD, of New York, ranking
member of the House Civil Service
Committee, it was learned today.
Representative Sirovich is now
in Europe and on his return to
Washington some time next
month is expected to announce
his plan.
Sirovich in the last session Of
Congress introduced a measure
providing for a liaison officer who
would hear complaints and adjust
grievances.
This bill failed of passage and
Sirovich now is said to be prepar-
ing measure which would eX-
tend this proposal so as to be
more acceptable to Federal en-
ployes.
Government workers for num-
ber of years have been pulling
strong for a Civil Service Court
of Appeals which would hear all
complaints. such as those relating
to dismissals and arbitrary lower
ing of efficiency ratings.
At their convention in Kansas
City, Mo-, last week, the National
Federation of Federal Employees
adopted a resolution demanding
such an appellate court.

z TOWNS START.
FIGHT To GET
ROADFUNDS
Capitol Heights and Boulevard
Heights Revolt at SIoWness
Of AIIotmentS

Capitol Heights and Boulevard
Heights yesterday began the first
revolt of incorporated towns in
Prince Georges county against "in-
activity" in distribution of State
road funds, by sending delegations
and written protests to Joseph
CLANCY, district engineer of the
Maryland State Roads Commis-
sion, stationed at Upper Marl-
boro.
The towns are to receive an
unspecified portion of $106,O00
from the State gas tax and of
$4,000 in a Federal road grant
for road improvements when the
board of county commissioners
presents list of recommendations
to the State body, said Mr.. Cha
ney.
Mileage Basis Fixed
With the suggested program be-
fore them, commission members
will determine the allotments, it
was said, upon a mileage basis.
Towns last year received a
portion of a large fund, $121, ,000
and fear their shares will be
cut considerably with the smaller
sum, it was said. Many have
let their roads deteriorate for
lack of money to pay for work
on them. Upper Marlboro is the
only town worked with State
roads machinery this year, SAID
Mr.. CLANCY. The town in pre-
vious years has hired the county
or State to do the work.
Protests Go to State
The Board of County Commits
sioners has referred all delega
tions and protests to the State
roads body, since the State took
over the roads.
The commission, however, will
distribute funds only when il
has received the county's recon-
mendations, it was announced
from Baltimore headquarters u
the commission.

HORSE. MALADY
BELIEVED DUE
To FUNGUS.
Probably a Result of Recent
Flood, Maryland State
Experts Assert

BALTIMORE, Sept. 14.-The
horse disease, "equine encepha-
lomyelitis," which has caused the
death of many of the animals in
the West has not been identified
with the disease which recently
has been attacking horses on the
Eastern Shore and in Southern
Maryland, it was asserted yeSter-
day by j. B. George of the Mary
land Live Stock Sanitary Service.
The disease affecting the Mary
land horses, he said, has been
known for about 10 years and
comes from a fungus growth in
hay or grass which the horses eat.
He pointed out that whenever any
great number of horses are af-
fected by the disease it has been
at a time following flood Of con-
siderable proportions.
On the other hand, he added,
the disease which has stricken the
western horses lately is a form OF
sleeping sickness. The western
disease apparently is contagious,
George explained while that af-
fecting horses here is not believed
to be.
The sanitary service experts
views were expressed. he said, in
order to put a stop to rumors
that the Western and Maryland
horse diseases are similar. He
said he could not say definitely
that the diseases are not alike,
but pointed out that thus far
neither the Maryland nor Fed
eral authorities have been able
to identify them.
He said that horsemen from
other sections should have no
fear of bringing their horses to
Maryland because the disease ap-
pears only in the saturated low
lands. It is under control and
it is fast being wiped out. He
added that the disease always
has disappeared with the first
frost, which kills the fungus.

TT may or may not mean any,

/ after the Chicago Cubs went
out in front to stay in last
years National League pennant
race, they have begun a new bid
that has taken them into second
place.
The Cubs forged ahead Of the Pitts

factor in their 1882 triumph, wrapped
up the Buccaneer batsmen in a neat
package and delivered them TO his
teammates. who knocked out an 8-to-2
victory. AS the pace setting New York

the Cubs only 3l2 games behind.

with homer that brought both Pitts

fifth, when they raped French for
four his and finished off by scoring
twice on a Wild pitch BY Waite Hoyt.
The st. Louis Cardinals, down in
fifth place. won the other National
League game by hammering out an
2-to-5 victory over the tail-end Gin

Ernie Orsatti set a brisk hitting pace.

Parade of Pitchers.
TINE Senator'S used six pitchers,
i starting with Al Thomas and
winding up with Earl Whitehill,
and the Sox needed FIVE ranging from
Henry johnson to Welch, for a total of
II and apparently a new league record.
The National League also had an IL
pitcher game September 6, 1924, when
the Giants and Phillies staged the
parade.
The Chicago White Sox made 1t two
straight over the Detroit Tigers by a
20 count as Ted Lyons beat Fred Mar
berry on the mound, despite a great
Tiger defense. Each gave seven hits,
but after the first inning only one
Detroit runner reached second. Detroit
had to equal another American League
record by making five double plays and

M Those old Philadelphia Ath-

at it again, and things look nat

ters of the American League to
every one except possibly Connie

While Chuck Klein continues to make
a runaway race of the chase for the
National League batting title, Foxx and
Simmons are locked again in one OF
their old-fashioned hitting duels.
Jimmy, just about all the only slug
ger Connie has left since he sold Sim
mons, Jimmy Dykes and Muel Haas to
the White Sox, dropped two points to
356 in mis- hitting during the past
week, but still managed to depose his
old roomie as the American League
leader.

just two nOtches behind FoXX. Al has

TINE fellow they're beginning to call
the new George Stallings of the
National League, Bill Terry,
manager of the astounding Giants, has
taken up the apparently fruitless task
of trying to catch Klein in the National
League. Chuck dropped six points to a
lusty go during the week, while Terry,
whose plotting of the Giants brings
back memories of Stallings' conquest

One of the Toughest Jobs.

~NE of the toughest Of all jobs in
I sport is being connected with
the directing or handling OF some
amateur game.
Most of these officials spend their
own money and give up more time
than you know about.
It isn't compulsory, but some one
has to do it. The general idea that
amateur championships or any other
championships can run themselves Is
one of the ages leading jokes.
For one example. nothing has
helped the future Of boxing more
than the appointment Of Bill
Brown on the New York State
Boxing Commission. He has
every qualification needed, in
cIuding brains, courage and
thorough knowledge Of what Is
taking place and what should be
done.
These assignments, leaderships. or
what you may call them are all full
Of trouble, while the reward Is slight.
There are more hidden angles than
the average citizen would ever dream
about. There are always chiselers, the
malcontents. the grumblers, among the
athletes or performers, who have to be
reckoned with
In the way of sports rocky roads
you might also check over the number
of foot ball coaches who are quietly
but gently handed the well known air
at various times.
