The Surest Tip.

IF you want the surest tip in base
| ball, bet your money that Newark
has the greatest backfield in the
game.
Bob Shawkey's lineup includes Hill
of Southern California, Koy of Texas,
Chandler of Georgia and Hitchcock
of Auburn. They are all good ball
players, but if it we're only foot ball,
Newark would be the next world cham
pion. No college team has quartet
to compare with this passing, kicking,
blocking, ball-carrying quartet.

GRIFF AMONG TAKERS
Speaks at Father-and-Son Night
at St. Stephens Church.

Clark Grifith, Rev. George F. Dud-

and S. A. Wood, vice president Of the

night before the church's Father and
Son Club. The head of the Washing

mond experiences.

a draw, as did Dick Smith and Maury

Mats Give Coin, Pitcher.

90 GRIFFITH closed the deal with
, Joe Cambria, Albany president,
giving the Albany outfit in re-
turn wad of dough. extent not re-
vealed by the Washington prexy, and
q young pitcher still to be picked, but
probably Ed Chapman.
The powers-that-be on the Wash
ington club had hoped Chapman
would show big league qualities this
year, but thus far he has failed to do
so and very likely will be shipped to
the international League under
option.
Filley has pitched only 10 innings
in the training games this Spring and
half Of those against sandlot aggre-
CATION, but has performed so i'm
pressively otherwise that Joe Cronin
as we'll as Griffith sees great POSSIBLE
ties in the boy. In his 10 innings
under fire he did not yield a run
and he certainly came through with
a high-grade piece of pitching when
he faced the Boston Braves here last
Tuesday.
The Braves combed the youngSter
for four hits, but not base on balls
did they get off him. He looked calm
and collected when battling big league
batters for the first time, too. Twice
he was in tough situation. Once
the Braves had runners on first and
second bases with only one out. Again
they had a runner on third with but
one out. Yet Filley coolly pumped
the ball to the man at the plate to
get out of trouble each time.
Steadiness, Control Impress.
TT IS this steadiness with which
Filley backs what pitching knack
he has that causes both Griffith
and Cronin to regard the recruit a
pitcher of great promise. They adj
mire his control, too In fact. Grit
fifth rates the youngsters ability to
pitch to a spot evenly with the stout
heart Filley seems to have under flre.
A pitcher can have everything in
the world on his pitches, but he must
have control also if he would satisfy
the Washington prexy.
Filley's record with the Albany club
last year indicates he must be some
thing more than a mere throWer, as
are so many who come up for trial.
Much more. With club that finished
seventh in an eight-club league and
with winning percentage well under
500, Filley hurled to an average of
.s36. He won seven games and lost
four. He took part in Is games and
chucked complete ones. His earned
run yield per nine innings was only
331. And that in his first season in
professional base ball.
The Nationals are getting Filley
young enough to make it worth their
while should he develop more class as
a pitcher either with them or some
minor organization. He is but % years
old. Filley graduated only last June
from Williams College, where he was
a star pitcher with the nine for three
years He played basket ball, too,
and has coached in both sports.

most promising youngster. And Filley
achieves a burning ambition-an op-
portunity to show whether there is big
league pitching In his arm as well as
his head. Everybody's happy.
Dugas, the other player taken over
from Albany, is far from an ex-
pertinent, says Cronin. While not q
particularly fine fielder this 25-year-
old, who both throws and bats from
the left side, can larrup the leather.
He has been up with the Pirates and
the Phillies and is no greene. Gus
knows a lot of base ball.

RULING ON SHEEP
BUYING OPPOSED
A. A. A. Asks McCarl to Re-
consider Ban on Drought
Relief Plan.

The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration has asked Controller
General McCarl to reconsider a de-
cision hating purchase Of 5000. .0oC
head of sheep as a drought relief
measure. It was made known today at
the Office Of DR.. Z. w. Sheets, drought
relief director.
The program would involve an ex-
penditure which officials estimated
would run from $4,000. 900 TO SIC. 900.
900 and the Controller General held
against the A. A. A. using the money
for this purpose as sheep were not
named as a basic commodity In the
legislation 1t was planned to invoke.
Farm administration officials, how
ever, contend the executive order
making $500. .oO0. 900 available for
drought relief is broad enough tc
authorize this expenditure.
II. however. McCarl stands on his
original decision, consideration viii be
given to making the purchase through
the Federal Surplus Relief Corpora
ton under the general provisions oi
the Agricultural Adjustment Act re-
lating to Surpluses. McCarl would
have to pass on the legality Of either
of these steps also, 1t was pointed out
Overstocked ranges and poor pas
turage are the reasons underlying the

Hay is at a premium. Many farm

Iowa. while it may yield a bumper
harvest in the northern parts of the
State. Pastures in the latter sections
are returning to normal.
Most Illinois farmers hold hopes for
a pretty good corn crop-if more rain
