This was evident by express
sions from the floor at the
annual meeting held at the Ken
wood Country Club yesterday.
Some felt that the handicap
minimum should be raised to 18
while others contended it should
be left at IA, the minimum
which prevailed during the past
season.
Want Permanent Line-UpS
There was also strong senti-
ment to name permanent line-upS
for the first and second teams
and that none of the players so
chosen could exchange places
during the season. Last year, a
player would represent the first
team on one day and the second
team following day.
Miss Elizabeth c. Harris, of
Kenwood, was unanimously re-
elected president. Miss Susan
Hacker, of Chevy Chase, succeeds
Mrs. Norman B. Frost, of Colum-
bia, as first vice president, and
Mrs. Ralph Goldsmith, of Wood
mont, replaces Mrs. Betty Neck
ley, OF Indian Spring, as second
vice president. Mrs. Richard N.
Sutton, Of Washington Golf and
Country Club, was retained as
secretary, while Mrs. Charles K.
Wing, Of Army-Navy, succeeds
Mrs. Alma Won STEINER, of Con-
greSSional, as treasurer.

j. Marvin Haynes, Columbia; Mrs.

GR|FF, CRON|N
STILL KEEP
QUIET
BY GARRETT WATERS

Two days ago when Manager
Joe Cronin, Of the Washington
Griffmen, trudged into town,
WaShington's hot-stove league
season officially made its debut
Tor the winter of 1933-34.
For with a manager in the city
to talk baseball-turkey with a club
owner, baseball and nothing but
baseball develops as the topic OF
the hour.
It was like this last year when
the youthful Cronin made his
presence from San Francisco, as
fans in and around the city were
given SO much to baseball that
only a stretch in imagination was
necessary to impress the idea
that the actual playing days were
merely a few months away.
Quite as last winter there is an
air Of baseball trading expectancy
around club headquarters at this
interesting moment even though
MeSSrS. Cronin and Griffith won't
intimate, admit or give an inkllng
that anything is up their respec-
tive sleeves.
Nevertheless, the fact remains
the pair of club chieftans have
been discussing the 1884 Griff
outlay during the short time
they've had their heads together
discussing matters they hope to
bring to a boiling point, once
the annual baseball meetings be-
gin at Chicago next Tuesday.
Make Confessions
So far both parties have con-
feSsed that no trading will be
done next week unless advan-
tageous opportunities arise. In
this vein they are quite correct,
for the pair will not subject
themselves to transactions which
will not benefit the Washington
entry for 1884.
On the other hand, they've
left themselves wide open by this
stand, as it leaves a very clear
impression that they have several
irons in the fire which might be
nodded into things concrete be"
fore or soon after the Chicago
sessions.
But just who might be in
volved in trades from a Wash
ington standpoint after all is said
and done? Among the outfield-
erS there's Dave Harris and Goose
GoSlin, excellent trading material
aNa1,aNaa cInA,1lI cly 1yN11
In the infield there's few to
choose; in fact, hardly anybody,
as it would be rather foolhardy to
cast adrift such. men as Joe
Kuhel, Buddy Myer, Ossie Bluege,
Cecil Travis, Bob Boken and
Johnny Kerr. The same almost
goes for the catching depart
ment, although Moe Berg might
be a possibility.
Thomas, Burke?
Among the pictherS many
names have already been men
toned in earlier season reports.
Both General Alvin Crowder and
Lefty Walter Stewart have been
the "unfortunates" selected to go
by the dopeSters, but both Cronin
and Griff have intimated that
the pair will be kept despite the
fact that each would develop as
splendid bait for would-be trades.
And then there's the remainder
of the hurting corps, selections of
which have not entered the minds
Of the baseball-minded. Tommy
Thomas, veteran of many a cam
paign. leads this list while the
name of Bobby Burke, slender
left-hander, offers the idea that
he wouldn't be such impossible
bait for a trade Matched up al
ready, maybe.
So there you have it fans. We
can only say that time will tell
what Manager Joe and Uncle
Griff have in their minds. They
know what they will and, can do
If the opportunities present them
selves. And we know the meet
1ngs are not so very long off

BEER BILL READY
FOR SIGNATURE
House Adopts Conference
Report After Fight on Cap
itoI Saloon Feature.

The conference report on the District
beer bill was adopted by the House
this afternoon, 131 to 65, and will he
sent to the White House for President
Roosevelt's signature before evening.
The report was approved by the Senate
yesterday.
Speaker Rainey Immediately signed
the bill and South Trimble, clerk of
the House, rushed it across for the
Vice Presidents signature.
A last fight to keep the Capitol and
Government buildings protected against
licenses for sale of beer was made by
dry forces under the leadership of Rep
resentative Stalker, Republican. of New
York and Blanton and Patman, Demo-
Gratis, of Texas.
Representative Tarver, Democrat. of
Georgia made the point OF no quorum
when the vote was announced, but
Speaker Rainey counted a quorum.
Representative Parker, Democrat, of
Georgia demanded a roll call VOTE but
could muster the support Of only 16 of
his colleagues In support of that de-
mand.
Capitol Saloons Feared.
During the attempt to strike from the
conference report the provision grant,
ing authority to the District Commis-
sioners to issue license for the sale Of
beer in the Capitol or other Govern
ment buildings, Blanton and Patman
declared that unless such a provision
was stricken out there would be open
saloons in the Capitol.
Representative Palmisano, Democrat,
OF Maryland, who sponsored the bill,
said these charges were false because
no license could be issued to employees
in the Capitol without authority from
the Speaker or other authorized agents
of Congress.
Blanton emphasized that Congress
should refuse to accept the conference
agreement regarding licenses for Gov
ernment buildings, and said, I'VE will
have scandals in the Capital that will
shock the Nation" He insisted that 80
beer Is intoxicating.
Challenge Of Black.
Representative Black, Democrat. of
New York, answered, IF we have sur
vived the scandal of the last IL years
under prohibition I guess we can stand
any that may follow the enactment of
this beer bill"

Chairman Vinson remained steadfast
