TERRY LEAVES
FOR HOME IN
MEMPHIS

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Bill
Terry, manager Of the new base
ball champions Of the universe, to-
day was en- route for his home in
Memphis, by way of Niagara Falls,
with a five-year contract in his
pocket and a strong suspicion that
his Giants will win another pen
nant race next season.
After a round of banquets and
celebrations among the h o m e
folks, Bill is intent on putting in a
strenuous winter, adding strength
to his ball club, attending base
ball meetings, seeking a training
camp and what not.
Seeks Reserves
Not that the Giants need much
STRENGTHENING. Terry is ready to
stand on his 1888 lineup, but
wants more capable auxiliaries. A
ball club, as somebody or other
once remarked, is no stronger
than it's reserve strength.
Bill will be back here late in
November, at which time he will
be ready to announce his choice
of training grounds and his
spring transforming schedule.
The spring trip is an important
financial item after a club has
won a world series.
Practically all the Giants have
left for their respective homes,
hilarious over the outcome of the
series but a trifle disappointed
with the gate receipts.
Await Checks
They have not received their
checks from Judge Lands yet,
but they figure that each full
share will amount to $4,258.89 in
round numbers.
Carl Hubbell and Blondy Ryan
had conferences with Secretary
Jim Tierney before they left,
but there was no signing done
for next year. The players con-
tracts will be mailed, as usual,
late in December, just in time to
make some of the boys believe
there is a Santa Claus after all.

sional football is a business;
Rozani, Of Marquette, an ALL
America player, but not recog-
nized as such, and several others.
Johnny Fenlon, small, compact
and a hard hitter, probably the
most underestimated top-grade
football player ever to appear in
Washington collegiate circles, is
the standout star of the Passers.
Around Johnny, the clever man
ager of the Passers has placed a
number of G. w. players, who un,
derstand each other and who
team we'll.
The Passers, trained to live to
their name, plan to lombard the
powerful Bears from the air.
With Fenlon to throw the ball
and his former mates at G. w.
to catch it, the Passers figure
that they have enough ability to
topple the Bears.

Ryan a Great Kid

"In the eleventh inning last
Friday 1 held up the game a
minute while I ordered off a
few spectators who had en-
crOached on the playing field.
What do you think Ryan said
to me: George you had
pretty good luck chasing those
guys off the field. HOwinthe-
hell are we going to get these
three Washington stiffs off the
bases" That shows you how
calm this kid shOrtstop was in
the crisis. He's a great money
ball player. In the game every
minute. You see him telling
the OutfielderS how many are
out like a high school boy.
That's enthusiasm and spirit.
Terry told me he's like that
all the time
Incidentally Ump. Moriarty
thinks that General Crowder
was stale in the series. Didn't
pitch half as well or as heady as
he saw him toss them during
the regular season. CrOwder he
considers, like Walter johnson,
among the greatest who ever
stepped on a mound. 1t just
happened that the series came
along when he was a trifle off
edge.
"That, my dear fellow, is
what 1 was buzzing Mr.. MOri-
arty about while The BOwery'
party was going on at the Fox.
I might add that Ump. MOri-
arty thinks that Connie Mack's
team and the Red Sox will make
it interesting for everybody in

teams in the making.

This will be the second Chesa-

is expected to be a more even
match than the Hampden-Sydney

said yesterday. "After but two
weeks of practice we were up

A True Reporter

"My dear Kirk:
"Since 1 lost a suit of
clothes and hat you can't
blame me for backing George
MOriarty into a corner at the
point of a pistol at the Fox
Theater and asking him how
it all happened. You know
George is an American League
umpire, and, like you, he
thinks Joe CrOnin is a little
piece of all right. Besides he was
plate umpire when Schumacher
pitched and also looked over
that guy Carl HubbelI very
carefully.
"The first question that /
tossed right down the middle
was What is there to this Hub
bells screw ball? Is it some
thing new? I know you have
stood up against a good many
screwy left-handers and some
daffy right-handers, toe. Has
this fellow got anything new?"
"WhereupOn Umps. MOriarty
replied tO-wit and as follows:
"'WelI, this fellow is going to
reign quite a while. The screw
ball you talk about is not such
a puzzIer. The trick comes in
the fact that it starts just like
a fast one. That is, when it
leaves Hubbell's hands the bat,
ter is deceived into thinking he
is being served a fast pitch.
Just about Is feet from the
plate it starts to break and
that's why they look a little silly
trying to hit it. They're set for
a fast ball and the Screwy pitch

across an angle on the late lamented
world series which I consider unusual
and which I gladly pass on to the pa

Seldom is it possible to get an umpire
on record on such things, but the dean
of them all knows how to say things in
a diplomatic manner, yet do credit all
around, and for that reason you should
be particularly, if not vitally interested
in the world series opinions of George
Moriarty, of whom there is no whomer

When you combine this
screw ball with a good noodle

LEATHER INDUSTRY
OPENS CODE HEARING
Labor Leaders Ask 30-Hour Week
and Higher Pay of
N. R. A.

By the Associated Press.
A 30-hour work week and higher pay
than that called for in the leather code
was asked of the National Recovery
Administration today by labor leaders
in the industry at the opening of hear
ings on the proposed covenant.
The labor spokesmen contended that
the proposed 40-hour week would
make no contribution to the recovery
campaign" and that wages of 80 cents
an hour for the South and 32l2 cents
for the North were far too low. They
asked minimum of sl8 for a 30-hour
week.
A brief Of labor's position was filed
by the National Leather Workers As
sociation. the United Leather Workers
International Union and the Shoe
Workers Protective Union. 1t said
there were approximately $4,000 en-
ployeS in the industry, with half Of
them in Massa chusetts, New York and
Pennsylvania.
The brief asked that the industry
bear the costs Of protective garbs worn
by workers in tannerieS and other
places where chemicals are used. con-
tending the supplying of rubber gloves,
aprons and boots properly was a pro-
duction cost.

COTTON AID PLAN
Delegation From South Asks
Acreage Program Speed
as First Step.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A four-point program to aid cotton
prices to farmers was laid before Sec
retary wallace today by delegation Of
members Of Congress from Southern
States headed by Senators George and
Russell of Georgia.
Members of the delegation asked that
the Department Of Agriculture speed up
announcement of an acreage reduction
program covering paintings for the sea-
sons of 1884 and 1885 as the first step
in aiding prices.
As the second proposal they suggest
ed AN early hearing to determine
whether readJustment in the rate of
the present processing tax Of AZ cents
pound on lint cotton should be made
Their third proposal was for early
leVymg OF compensatory processing
taxes on jute. rayon, silk and other
products sold in competition with cotton.
Early Imitation Urged.
AS the final point In their program,
they urged that the administration en-
bark without further delay on q pro-
gram OF imitation. Members, however,
did not specify what form they believed
the initiation should take
Representative McSwain of South
Carolina suggested a postponement of
from so to go days OF the processing
tax. He said a postponement would
make possible a substantial increase in
the price Of cotton during coming
months when farmers will be market
ing their crop.
McSwain also suggested that Wallace
conduct an early investigation to deter
mine the exact effect the processing
tax Is having on the price of cotton
and on the industry as a whole and to
extend this investigation to include the
price spreads of wholesale cloth mer-
chants.
McSWain said that the N r. A. code
for textile mills had substantially in
creased manufacturing costs and that
this increase in cost, together with the
processing tax was having the effect Of
slowing down demand for cotton TO the
extent that the textile business was
slumping and that many mills might be
forced to close.
Committee to See Wallace.
Members of the delegation which con-
ferred with Wallace included Repre-
sentatives Owen. Tarver. Vinson. Brown.
Deem and Parker of Georgia; Collins Of
Mississippi. together with McSwain,
Senators George and Russell, and for
mer Gov. Cooper of South Carolina
representing the American Cotton Man
ufactererS' Association
Cooper said a committee from this
association. including T. NJ Marchant
and R. E Henry. Greenville. South
Carolina would confer with Wallace
later in the week TO present the pro-
blem facing textile manufacturers as
a result of increased labor costs and the
processing tax
Members of the delegation said Wal
lace did not commit himself TO any
program. but indicated he would de-
termine whether hearing on the proc
essing taxes would be conducted after
conference with manufacturers and
others He expects TO hold such meet
ings later in the week
Wallace arranged for conference
late today with the Georgia delegation
regarding Federal road funds for that
State, which are being withheld
