SCHOOL TEAMS
GAIN NOTCH
IN DRILLS
By GARRETT WATERS

Another splendid day for foot
ball gave local high and prep
school teams an excellent chance
to further advance yesterday in
their preparatory work for the
busy season ahead.
Every eleven with the exception
of Georgetown Prep, which hasn't
begun active practice sessions yet,
engaged in drills at various points
in the city, making the day truly
a football one.
Eastern went so far as to hold
a brief scrimmage. Central and
Tech followed close behind with
business-like drills while Roose-
welt and Western spent most of
the day in going over funda-
mentalS.
The prep school machines en-
joyed equally as interesting a
day. Gonzaga, st. Johns, and
Dewitt particularly were active.
The usual and customary early
season work featured st. Johns
drill.
Although the actual playing of
games are still several weeks
away for most of the elevens, al
ready they were thinking and
planning for tactics to be used.
AS is known generally over the
scholastic front, Eastern gets the
ball rolling tomorrow by meeting
the Alexandria High School eleven
at the Eastern Stadium at 3
p. m.
Tech also plays tomorrow, but
its game will be in Baltimore
where very few local followers
will see the team in action. How.
ever, there'll be plenty of chance
later on to form opinions on the
Hardell-coached lads.
One of the most gratifying
phases of the practice situation
this year, according to Coach
Lynn woodwork, of Roosevelt
High, at least-is the field which
the Roosevelt eleven has at its
disposal.

had to travel to the Tidal Basin
to hold practice sessions. This
was decidedly a hardship to the
team and it suffered in it's games
as result.
But now, the outlook is for
bigger and better things at Roose.
welt. The school, mind you, is
not looking for a championship
this year, but it is confident that
a champion might be nodded
within the next year or so, due
in great measure to the new
Roosevelt Stadium convenient
place to hold practice sessions
where new and promising mate
rial may be developed.

Sid Cohen, the young lefthander
from Chattanooga, who had a day
off with AL Schacht yesterday be-
cause Of Yom Kippur, will get his
chance today to start major
league game. Cronin, who has
tested two of his young pitchers
against the Indians, wants to see
what Cohen can do against the
batters under the big tent. He
probably will be opposed by Oral
Hildebrand who was beaten by
Washington Monday.
Burke HurlS Well
BY defeating Cleveland yester-
day, 5 to 2, the Senators drew
even with the Tribe on the seasons
play and it will be up to the
young Lookout to give Washington
the edge. Each team has won 10
games, with one postponed game
unable to be played. Bob Burke,
slender lefthander, pitched the
Senators to yesterdays victory and
not only gave Washington an even
break on the seasons play with
Cleveland but pulled himself up
over the 500 mark with eight vic
tories against seven defeats.
Only two batters in the Cleve'
land lineup could solve Burke
successfully. Earl Averil and Joe
Vosmick getting five of the Indians
eight hits. Vosmik drove in both
runs, one in the first inning and
one in the sixth.
Take Lead at Outset
The Senators, however, stepped
out in front in the first inning
when stone, Myer and ManuSh
followed a pass to Bluege with
singles.
They added to this lead in the
fifth when, after Stone had singled
and Myer had walked, Manush
and Sewell came through with
two baggers, Heinie's driving in
one run and Sewel's two.
The end of the first inning rally
was fastened when Ralph Wine
garner, who pitched one of the
Cleveland's victories Tuesd lay,
made a throw to the plate that
cut down Myer. Winegarner went
to the outfield because Milt Galat-
zer had to observe Yom Kippur.

BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL KEEP SANDLOTTl
GAUZzA BUSY
MAK|NGGR|D
SCHEDULE

The local sandlot sports hori-
ION continues to be a busy one,
both from a football and base
all standpoint.
In football, two teams, the
Maryland A. C. and MarionS, are
finding plenty of time to keep
occupied while Vic GuaZza, preSi.
dent of the National City grid
league, is holding meetings to
organize a schedule for the sea-
son.
The current weekday league
baseball championships at Grit
fifth Stadium hold the biggest dia-
mond interest. But besides this.
two other series are on schedule
to keep players and fans alike
interested.
Renew Rivalry
One of these is the National
City League play-off games for
Sunday, listing the Blue Flame
Valet nine against the Pig m
Whistles in the feature. The
other is the renewal of a heated
rivalry in Arlington country be-
between the Arlington and Balls
ton mines, who'll play Sunday IN
q double-header at Ballston.
Practice sessions are scheduled
for the Maryland A. c. and Marion
grid teams tonight and tomorrow
respectively. The Marylanders
drill at their new stadium in Seat
Pleasant at Z o'clock, while the
Marions are listed at the Seaman
Gunners field at Z p. m. =,
Coach Boyer, of the Maryland
A, c., signed three new players to-
day. They are Dutch Wo:farth,
star end at Tech High two years
ago: John Buckles, guard with the
1888 Passers, local professional
eleven; and Joe McKenna, tackle
an unknown who reported for
practice recently and who looked
unusually good.
Have Line Trouble
The Marylanders are having
trouble getting their line in shape.
The MarionS, quite in contrast
have a scarcity of backs. How
ever, both teams expect to be IN
fair readiness for their opening
games against the Seaman Gun
ners and Richmond Arrows. The
Marylanders play the former on
October Z, while the Marions meet
the latter, September 20, at Rich
mond.
About 1000 persons are ex-
pected to witness the Arlington
BallSton baseball game - SO
heated is the interest in the twin
bill. Jim Titcomb, Earl McPher-
son and Jack Hudson will hurl for
Arlington, while Calvin Hull and
Art Lacey are due to twirl for
BallStOn.

Simply, the West got in Su-

East Jagged in this respect until
the seventh chukker when it
commenced to score goals in
rapid-fire succession, bringing
the crowds to their feet.
I thought the West riders
conceded too many opportuni-
ties to the East when there
was an equal chance to get to
the ball. On many occasions
the East beat them to the punch,
but missed the shot.
This made the West look
right foolish, indeed. The East
never yielded similar oppor-

difference in caliber between
the two in the opening Skin.

HERO
Of YANKEES
COMEBACK
BY FRANK BUCK" ONEILL
Times Staff Writer

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer
DETROIT, Sept. 20.
"He don't know when he's licked,
He don't know how to stop,
He's at best when the going is
tough.
And he smacka da pill right over
da hill,
And he putta da Yankees on
top"
Detroit's young Italians feteo
the veteran Tony Lazzeri at
spaghetti dinner here last night
and the poet laureate of the or
ganization prefaced with the
above jingle toast to the ancient
Walloping Wop, whose bat kept
the Yankees in the American
League pennant race today. The
Tigers still need two games to
clinch the flag.
6% Games Behind
Yes, the Yankees are siX-and'
one-half games behind with every
day another Little Big Horn-Cus
ter's last stand, if your history is
rusty-but the one man Of the
fading Rupert Rifles who refuses
to quit is Lazzeri, the Walloping
Wop.
The spring of youth has gone
from Lazzeri, but the fire and love
of battle blazes in his heart.
Babe Ruth conceded the pen
nant to the Tigers before ever
ball was pitched in this series
Some of the others admitted that
nothing but a miracle could save
the Yankees. And Lazzeri, what
did he say?
"We1l fight 'em until we
drop. To hell with their lead.
Others teams have lost five
straight, why can't they?"
It wasn't just steam with
Tony. He meant it. No one could
make him admit he didn't have
a chance until the checks were
paid. And then he'd ask for ar
audit.
Tony Doubles
Lazzeri and Johnny Murphy
combined in beating the Tigers
yesterday, and a right good jot
they made of it. Murphy's pitch
ing and hitting, along with the
two runs he scored; Lazzeri'S
double with the bases loaded and
a double play he started in the
sixth inning just about did in fol
the tigers.
The Yankees found their bat
ting eyes and scoring punch after
2 scoreless innings against the
Tigers. They played IL scoreless
innings against the Bengals In
New York, Rowe shutting them
out in the final game of that
series.
They came here and went
ScorelesS for 18 innings under the
necromancy of Crowder anc
Rowe. They were blanked in the
first two innings yesterday. Ir
the third they scored, Crosett
driving Murphy home with the
first run Of the game.
Lazzeri detonated the letha
blast against the Tigers in thu
sixth inning, when Eden Aukel
gave up the ghost. Red Role anc
George Selkirk hit safely anc
Gehrig came to bat.
Lou had previously flied to Fol
at the right field fence, so Aukel
walked him. That brought up tn
hero of this piece.
Lazzeri pulled curve ball dowr
the left field foul line. It floatec
lazily through space while Coos
Goslin pursued it madly. Coos
could not get up to make a catcl
and the ball sped into the leftfielc
corner of the field.
Two runs poured over the plate
and directly Tony followed him
self. In the seventh Murphy'S sec
ond hit and whites error pave
the way for another run.

Farm Families On
Relief To Be Made
Self Sustaining
Hopkins Outlines Plans as
Projected for South;
Meeting Ends

ATLANTA, Ca. March IA
(UP).-Plans for bringing the
"new deal" to needy rural fami-
lies were outlined to relief Off
Gals of IL southern states here
yesterday by Harry L. Hopkins,
federal relief administrator.
Hopkins said the objective of
the administration new rural re-
Mobilization program was to make
farm families now on relief rolls
self-sustaining.
The plan would do away with
"this direct relief business" which
Hopkins described as "a curse
and a plague to rural communi-
ties"
Funds formerly used for direct
relief in rural areas will be de-
voted to planned public works
projects in these communities and
to a program to provide farm
lands and equipment to aid the
farmer to raise many commodl-
ties necessary for self-sustenance.
Hopkins emphasized that the
crops raised by farmers aided by
the rural rehabilitation program
should be those that go toward
his own livelihood "rather than
cash crops, which would only add
to the surpluses and increase the
farm problem"
Hopkins indicated the federal
relief administration was ready
to spend about $250,O00,000 to
put the program into effect and
that he believed funds that could
be brought into the program from
other departments would make
the total outlay around $4OO,OOO,-
600.
The conference here ended yes
terday afternoon. Plans went for
ward for various state confer
ences to work out details Of the
program for each area.

FORD MINIMUM
WAGE RAISED
Becomes S. Per Day and
Order Is Immediately
Effective

DEARBORN, Mich. March IA.
(UP).-The Ford Motor company
yesterday announced the restora-
ton of a S. daily minimum wage
for it's workers throughout the
United States. The order was eff
fective Immediately.
The 1888 daily minimum was
81.
1t was the first blanket increase
that Henry Ford has made since
December, 1929. when the COM
panv added the so-called "depres-
sion dollar" to its wage rate,
bringing the daily minimum of Sc
up to 81. Last month officials said
that small wage increases were
given to 1900 men.
The exact number affected IN
the United States would not be
estimated, officials said. but out
of 10000 men employed in the
Detroit area alone, 1851 men
were affected, their daily wage
being raised from Sd and $3.50
to SIS.
Ford returned here late last
week from Florida and immedi-
ately began working on the in
crease plan which, he said. had
been in his mind for some time.
ono one loses ANYTHING by rails
ing wages" Ford said. at has

the most costly any employer can
pay. It's like using low-grade ma
terial-the waste makes it very
expensive in the end.
"There's no economy in cheap
labor or cheap material. The hard
est thing | ever had to do was to
reduce wages. / think we were
the last big company to come to
do it. Now I am mighty glad that
wages are climbing again"
Ford officials, in making the
wage announcement, issued a
warning against the possibility Of
men in other cities coming here
in search of employment.
"This is not call for work
ers," officials said. "Plenty of De-
troit auto employees are still out
