NRA CODE AIDS
CADD|ES

NRA has finally reached the
caddies, and golf.
The new code governing caddies
and other country club employees
will be submitted today to the
Recovery Administration.
The lads unoer 16 years Of age
who tote golfers bags would be
forbidden to work more than
three hours per day, or during
school hours, under the code,
drawn up yesterday by officers
and directors of the Club Mana
gers Association of America.
Older caddieS will come under
the limitation clauses + the blan-
ket employment agreement, as
will other employees, with a 49,
hour week for women workers
and 56-hour week for men, wage
limitations also to come under
the blanket code.
It was thought for some time
that golf clubs would not come
under the terms of the NRA. Liv-
ingston Platt, counsel for the
U. S. Golf Association, interpreted
the recovery act as being directed
toward industrial and commercial
firms and expressed the opinion
tnat golf clubs were not subject
to the law. However, NRA Off
cials notified officials of the Club
Managers Association that since
clubs are employers of labor, such
clubs are subject to the recovery
act to the same extent as other
employers.
Many golfers feel that older
men, as in England and Scotland,
will be given preference under the
new arrangement for caddies,
while others feel that by next
spring the Nation will have recov-
cred entirely and the old order
will obtain once again.

LONDON. UN.S0.-Lord Tren-
chard, commissioner of London's
Metropolitan Police Force, noted
former soldier and aviator, is de-
termined to go ahead with his
plan for reorganizing the police
department from top to bottom.
Since he went to Scotland Yard,
the famed police headquarters,
he has uprooted many old-estab-
lis;-ed ideas.
In an official statement which
many police higher-ups termed
astonishing" Lord Trenchard an
nounced that:
"An Superintendent and
Chief Inspectors who have at
tained tie age Of so years and
who have been three years in
their rank will have to leave
the force within six months"
Briefly, the statement meant

DARROW IN PLEA
FOR CONv|CTS

Clarence Darrow, world-famed
criminal lawyer, yesterday visited
the United States Chamber of
Commerce, here, and pleaded
against the tentative code which
would ban the sale of prison made
commodities.
Darrow pointed out that men
must work even in prisons, and
declared that the penitentiaries
must have other laborS than rock
pounding if they are not to be-
come crime factories. Darrow,
who represented the Federal Par
don and Parole Board, said:

3 BATTLE GALE.
IN BAY CRAFT

Coming safely through the gale
that ravaged the Atlantic Coast
with toll of lives not yet deter
mined, two Washingtonians and
a Marylander were recuperating
today from the effects of their
narrowing experience. The men
who faced death in the storm
whipped waters are Frederick
Pip and Edwin Braumbaugh, both
Of this city, and William Preston,
of Cottage City, Md.
The three dropped anchor yes
terday in West River after a two
day battle with the elements.
They struck the full force of the
storm as they entered the bay
Sunday evening from st. Mary's
River, and battled until late Mon
day before gaining the shelter of
an island.

NEW YORK, Aug. % U.N.S0
The die-hards Of the. Sweatshop
system were still fighting today
fighting with intimidated, ignor-
ant victims as their support.
The gesture Of defiance is bold
yet feeble; and the drive of the
NRA to free these workers from
conditions that have warped them
In mind and body appeared to be
on it's last step to success.
Armed with the placards Of
radical revolt, workers who were
lgnorantly initiating aainst
themselves, were fearful the code
spelled the end of even their STAR
Vation wages.
Sound Of a "Trick"
Their lives have been spent in
shaving in the ranks of inhuman
competition protected equality
sounds like a trick to them.
Twenty years ago the garment
trades fought to wipe out the
Eweatshop. But it came back.
It was wiped out by the concerted
effort of garment industry unions.
This time it has been abolished
by a power that will see that its
insidious growth is ripped up by
the roots, and a power that will
countenance no replanting.
SweatshOp Menace
David Dublinsky, president of
the international Ladies Garment
Workers Union, the man who
worked day and night with Grover
"A. Whalen, the dress strike
mediator of the NRA, talked to-
day of the effect of the National
Industrial Recovery Act on these
workers. He said:
"If any industry in America
needed q new deal for the
workers employed in it, the gar
ment trades surely required one.
The sweatshOp, banished from
it two decades ago, was threat
ening to swamp the garment
industry.
SWEATING REVIVED
"The resurrection of the
sweatshOp may be attributed
chiefly to the following cause:
The depression created a tre-
mendOuS demand for cheap
garments-tO satisfy this de-
mand, the manufacturers and
jObbers set up countless con-
tracing shops outside their
selling premises in New York
city, Connecticut, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania towns within
shipping distance from New
York.
"Here an abundance of cheap
labor, largely female, existed.
In these shops SIS week soon
became a standard wage; hours
ran all the way from 30 to IS
q week; this bootleg ETOduc-
ton created a StiffIing cOmpeti-
tiOn and brought chaos into
the industry"

Recently Lord Trenchard, in
making his annual report, de-
clared he wanted a new class of

suggested the drafting into the

men, who after passing through
a police college, would start their
career as inspectors.

May 80 Uncertain

The Memorial Day here was
sloppy and uncertain and the
number of people who turned
out for the one game which
eventuated was nothing like
that which would have for a
double-header un d er bright
skies.
Now you take two rainy days
out of three of your big sum-
mer double-header holiday bills
and it puts quite a crimp in
your financial set-up. That is
what has happened to Wash
ington this glorious summer of
1888, yet yesterday afternoon
Owner Clark Griffith was out
on the links playing a game
Of good golf, quite as calm and
collected as if nothing had
happened over the holiday to
mar his peace of mind.
How many big business men
could shake off that kind of a
loss and be in the proper tenn
per to play golf "a hours later?
Few, we believe, and that Incl
dent gave us cause for no little
thought as to the hazards of
baseball from a business view
point.
The Washington times., 1933-09-06
Ball Is Victim

Ball is the victim of the times,
but he didn't lose it all through
depression or prohibition. He
gave away a fortune to friends
who needed help. AS long as
Ball has a dime, his friends
can have it. He may stage
a financial comeback. He de-
serves to.
The Dreyfuses of Pittsburgh
were wealthy outside of base
ball. That goes for the Wrig'
leys in Chicago, but not the
Comiskeys. Like Clark Griffith,
Charley Comiskey the First was
wise in baseball and could,
through smart trading and
player manipulation, work a
pennant-winning combination
out of a shoe-string. Commy
and Griff are the only two who
come to mind who we believe
could do that.
The Athletics have been sue
cessful in past years because
they've had the Shibe mil
lions behind them. At that
the AS never have been an ex-
travagant club. Connie takes
his players out of colleges and
off farms and whips them into
pennant-winning combinations.
Owning a baseball team, with
the exception of cases like Com
iskey's and Griff's is like own
ing a yacht. If you've got to
count the cost, don't own one.
The Washington times., 1933-09-06
Another Angle

Another angle of baseball, as
a business proposition, and one
which many a man of specula-
tive turn of mind would pom
der thoroughly before buying
into a ball club or buying one
outright, like Thomas YaWkey,
of Michigan, recently did in the
case of the Boston Red SoX, is
that you have a year-around
investment in a proposition
which has its doors open
for public patronage only
154 days a year. That is less
than six months in which to
clean up on money which is
working II months. 1t is 154
days against 365 that your
overhead, taxes and interest
and repairs and depreciation are
in operation. A bad ratio, from
a business standpoint.
It is not far from the truth
that baseball is a rich mans
hobby-that is to say that the
owning of a ball team amounts
to that.
The Washington times., 1933-09-06
Teams Kept Idle

We bring the matter up be-
cause we have been doing a
great deal of thinking about
what the Labor Day storm did
to eight clubs in the two major
leagues which found it necessary
to idle instead of play before
packed stands in double-header
attractions.
It is a conservative estimate to
say that the eight teams who
spent Labor Day counting the
rain drops lost on an average
of $4,000 each. The home
teams probably lost about $685.
900 and the visiting teams be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
Those are figures over which
to bat an eye, yet the club
owners have to swallow those
loSseS-and like it.
washington, which has made
money this year, and will make
more, has had two tough holi-
day blows.
The wash-out in Boston day
before yesterday couldn't have
meant any less than a loss of
$4,000 "a good ball players
annual salary) to the Griff-
men.

ADD
NEW COACH
To STAFF
BY HARRY COSTELLO

CAMP LET'S, Md, Sept. 6
George Washington UniverSity's
preseason football activities to
day involve no less that 81 men
Seven are coaches and 80 are can
didates for Colonial .elevens.
The latest additions to the
coaching staff are Roland Logan
former star gridder at Kansas U
and erstWhile American Olympic
trainer, and Walter Slaird, sta1
of Pixlee's linemen last year.
Logan will coach the guards and
act as head trainer, with Bert
Green as his chief assistant
Slaird will devote his time to the
coaching of tackles, moving over
with Jean Sexton to aid in tutor
ing G.. w. yearlings at the conclu
sion of the squads stay here.
Ringer for Walker
Logan, new to Washington
sport, is a dead ringer for Mickey
Walker, former ring champion
and favorite. Logan, like Walter
has all the earmarkS of an aggreS
sive, able workman in his line.
The appointment of Logan to
the coaching and training Staffs
indicates the seriousness with
which G.. w. is preparing for the
grid campaign of 1888. That tough
Colonial schedule, which will re-
quire players in best of physical
condition, is interpreted by coaches
and players alike as the boom
which will send G. w. to the foot
ball heights.
Logan'S training achievements
were climaXed last year when Jim
Bausch won the Olympic decath'
lon title, and Buster Charles and
Clyde Coffman finished fourth
and seventh, respectively, in the
Los Angeles games. Logan trained
them all.
Escorted Bausch
A former mate on Bausch's
great Kansas team, and the man
who ran interference for that
super-athlete, Logan graduated
from the University of Kansas in
1880, following three years OF
varsity gridiron competition. He
played guard for the Jayhawkers
winning All Big Six second team
honors in 1929. For the past
three seasons he has acted as as
siStant varsity coach at Kansas.
A younger brother, Woodrow
Logan, will apear in Washington
with the Kansas eleven, on De
cember 2, when the JayhaWkers
meet the Colonials. Young Logar
is the outstanding guard of this
years Kansas team.
Assuming his new duties today
Coach Logan stated that he has
never seen a finer looking group
of athletes than the band OF
ColonialS in training here. He
compared them favorably with the
Nebraska squads of olden days
football squads which were noted
for their splendid physical pro
portions.

The Washington times., 1933-09-06


Need we mention Ralph NIGEL
venny, Colorado ace, after all
we've written about him of late?
At the risk of repeating ourselves
(and after all we are no better
than history in that respect) we
have to break down and confess
that Ralph's done it again.
Yessir, he cut another notch
in his racquet, adding the scalp
of Major j. A. Dorst to his grow
ing collection yesterday in the
quarterfinals of the Government
employees tournament at Colum-
bia Country Club.
He has now played 116 games
in two local tournaments without
losing any of his 16 sets while he
dropped but 20 games.
Runs Along Same Lines
Running along similar lines is
the case of one Allan Razor"
Blade, former California collegiate
netman, who has cut a wide
sWathe in the same event. He,
too, has come upon us minus
any form of ballyhoo. He won
his match in the second round;
he won his third round match;
he won his fourth round match
and then captured his quarter
final match.
His biggest booster is Major
j. A. Dorst, who is his doubles
partner. Major DorSt, who has
seen samples of both players best
efforts, figures McElvenny and
Blade as finalists, with their
match being toss-up. Blade has
much harder serve than the
Colorado champ, according to the
major, who has nothing but
praise for McElvenny. He said it
was possible Ralph didn't let out
with his serve against him, as the
general excellence of his game
was too much for him.
McElvenny'S backhand is plenty
strong, but is considered the one
weak spot the star may have.
Blades best attribute is his fore
hand.
Blade, the son of a retired
Army officer, was the captain Of
the University of California
(Berkeley) net team in 1881 and
took the trip which the team
made when it crossed the Pacific
for exhibition matches.
Works in Treasury
He is employed in the Treasury
Department and has been in this
city about five months.
His early scores show victories
of 60, Go over Kisluick P.
o.; 90, 6-1 over Neil Ander-
son District; over Mariana
Erana Vet. Administration 60,
6-1, and over Hugh Trigg, IS,
Ga.
He has lost but II games out
of 66 played and has not lost any
of his eight sets.
Frank Shore and Bill Seidel
are to resume their play today
with Bill having one set, a second
being unfinished because of dark
ness with Seidel leading. This
set will be replayed in its en-
tirety.
The Washington times., 1933-09-06

mated to hurl for the hello" out

District Independent League, will
be honored Friday morning at 10
o'clock at the Ristig Store, 1348

designed gold ball.
The District Independent Un-
limited champion will be decided
after Sundays game between the
Ross jewelers. and the Cavaliers.
The contest is scheduled on the
East Ellipse at l o'clock.
Sanford Ross, ace of the staff,
will mount the hill for the Cava-
liers, while the jewelers. have not
decided upon their pitcher.
Duffy Wins Duel
"Stuffy" Duffy, of the Bureau
of Investigation, outpitched Pete
Ingram, of the G. P. O. yesterday
and as a result the Investigation
nine defeated the Printers, 2 to l.
Both pitchers allowed four
bingles but "Stuffy" was stronger
in the pinches. Cody Shapiro,
former Eastern High star, led
the winners at the stick, getting
two hits.
Dixie Pigs captured the Indus
trial League trophy yesterday by
trouncing the Metropolitan Po-
lice, 6 to 0. Blackie Adair was
in rare form as he set the Cop
pers down with three hits and
struck out six.
Dick Wingate, fleet right fielder
of the Pigs, led both teams at
the plate with three hits.

out of owning a major league
club.
Bill Carrigan, a hard headed
baseball man, with limited re-
sources, couldn't make the Red
Sox pay dividends, but Yaw-
key can spend money without
worrying to make the Red
Sox a paying proposition, and
our guess is that they'll be
rapping at the door of fame
within two years.
Jake Rupert has made a
mint of money with the Yank-
eeS, but Jake didn't have to
stay awake nights worrying
whether his club paid divi-
dends. He threw plenty of
jack into the Yankees, in
cluding the buying and paying
of Babe Ruth, before the dog
that had been biting his hand
started to lick it.
Phil Ball, st. Louis magnate,
broke now, had the Browns as
a hobby. He made enough out
of his refrigerating and beer
business in the good old days
to feel he'd never have to
worry whether his ball team
made money or not.
