Governor Frank Merriam of
California appealed directly to
President Roosevelt, during the
San Francisco strike, to instruct
immigration authorities to arrest
and deport aliens found guilty of
violent and unlawful action"
William N. Doak had issued such
orders when he was secretary Of
labor but Miss Perkins had not
made the strike the occasion for
any unusual activity.
When she promised Governor
Merriam Incorporation to the full
extent authorized by law six rad
ical organizations at once began
circulating petitions of protest
saying they had hoped the de-
partment was not to be an in

THE dispute flared up again
Il when it was announced that
w. w. Husband. an official of the
department in recent Republican
administrations, is going to Mos
COW to arrange for deportation of
aliens to the Soviet Union. Such
negotiations have been in prospect
ever since the United States rec
Ognized Russia, but their in
auguratiOn at this time is being
interpreted by both sides as con-
nected with the San Francisco
strike and other labor disputes.
Before the United States recog-
nized Russia. no machinery exist
ed by which citizens of that coun-
try could be deported for any
cause.
Eighty-four warrants calling for
deportation of Russian citizens for
CommInistic activities were issued
between 1918 and 1884, but they
were not executed in the absence
of Diplomatic relations. They can
not be executed until details of
deportation machinery are ar
ranged and this probably will take
several months.
XXTHEN Secretary Perkins took
w office she disbanded the
organization Mr. Doak had built
up to carry out his deportation
policies. She stopped raids on
alien quarters and f1ngerprinting
of incoming aliens. She revoked
the ban forbidding alien students
to work their way through school
here. For the first time since the
war, the department. permitted
alien radicals to visit this country.
Aliens in danger of prosecution
if deported to their native lands
were allowed to depart voluntar-
lily for other countries. Warrants
against members of left wing
unions were cancelled when those
organizations severed connection
with the Red International Of
trade unions in Moscow.
The American Civil Liberties
Union lauded these policies in its
recent book, Liberty Under the
New Deal" and commented that
regulations had been liberalized in
spite of the narrow limitations
imposed by some Of the most re-
strictive immigration and dePorta-
ton statutes in the world"

CONSENT
By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 13.
History was written when the Bos-
ton Red Sox paid $250,000 in cash
and ball players for the contract
Of Joseph Edward Cronin, former
manager of the Washington base
ball club. This staggering sum -
and no player is worth anywhere
near it places Cronin in the
super Koh-i-noor class. He is the
crown jewel of baseball.
Besides the $250,000 in cash the
Red Sox tossed in the contract Vt

New York Yankees more than $685.
900. Another ball player, Mullen,
an uncertain quality as a major
Lacquer, also figured in the deal.
The Red Sox paid 100000 cash in
hand with the remaining $150,0OO
to be paid before November l, 1885.
Not only is this deal abso-
lutely preemenent in it's magnl.
tude but is the most unusual
transaction in all the history OF
baseball.
Approval Of JOe's
Under the terms Of the agree
ment reached by Clark Griffith
and Tom Yawkey. the deal could
be made only with the approval
of the ball player involved.
Cronin accepted the terms OF the
deal. If he had not he still would
be in washington.
Yawkey stands alone as the
man in baseball who pays and
pays and pay. but who pays with
a smile. Yawkey, a year ago at
this time paid 100000 for Lefty
Grove.
The Yankees paid 100000 for
the contract of Babe Ruth. Col.
Jacob Rupert wrote off a mort
gage to that amount which he
held on Fenway Park, then opera
ted by the late Harry F'razee.
Eddie Collins was sold by the
Philadelphia Athletics to the Chi
cago White Sox for a sum said
to have been $4,000. The White
Sox handed all Of that money
back and a lot more with 1t
when they bought AL Simons
from the Athletics. The late
Joseph C. Lanin sold Iris Speaker
to the Cleveland Indians for
$50, 900, which was lot of money
back in the days of the Federal
League. but they all pale into
insignificance alongside of the
deal which establishes Cronin as
the most valuable asset in base
ball.

Christy. however, fell victim to

Surprising Form
Central, supposed to have a
green team, offered a surprisingly
fast and clever aggregation, led
by Bill Vermillion, who scored
18 points through eight field
goals and two from the foul
line.
This Central team is the first
ever coached by Jack Ray, who
has turned out many fine base
ball players. It is said that Ray,
knowing of the greenneSs of his
men, chose a number of likely
youngsters and went to work to
ground them in fundamentals.
How well he succeeded is best
attested by the clever work of
his team in dumping Charlotte
Hall by such a wide margin.
Central's greatest advantage as
a team seems to lie in the abili-
ties of three tall players, Bill
Thompson. 6 feet S inches; John
Munhall, 6 feet 3 inches, and AL
Katz, feet 1 inch. This trio,
because of height, is extraordi-
narily efficacious as passing COM
