But That Bunt Was Bad.


EOR two innings the Tigers had
II held a single-run lead, but that
did not look anything at all
when Joe Kuhel landed On one of
the left-handed Eion Hogsefkis pitches
at the outset Of the ninth and rammed
triple to the angle behind right
center And the lead wasn't anything
when Fred Schultz followed with a
wallop to left for two bases.
The score was 1o-an. Then Luke
Sewel sacrificed and there was the
big run on third base and only one
out
This situation brought on heavy
thinking by the rival managers.
Mickey Cochrane, the Detroit pilot,
ordered Eden Auker, Highlander, to
replace Hogsett on the hill. Joe
Cronin, the home boss, deputized
Ossie Bluege to swing for Pitcher
Jack Russell. And Cronin hung out

Well, with Schultz winging toward
home, Bluege bunted. But not on the
ground. It was the prettiest little
pop one ever saw, looping right into
the hands of Pitcher Auker. And
Schultz was caught flat-footed be-
tween third and the plate. Fred
made a desperate effort to scramble
back to third, but Auker's toss to

Manush Drives in Six Runs.

n TANUSH made a magnificent
.lVl stand against the Tiger twirl-
ers, getting to them for two
home runs, a two-bagger and single
in six trips to the plate. His great
batting pushed across six of the tallies
registered by the Nationals. It was
a truly remarkable display of offensive
power that raised his leading major
league average to .416.
But other than Jack Stone, there
was no National to give Manush much
of a hand In helping the club over
the rough spots, neither at the plate
nor on the pitching hill. Stone, with
a three-hit game, batted in two runs
and toted two across, which any way
it is considered made fair day for
the transfer from the Tigers.
Despite this business of leaving the
matter of winning the ball game
mainly up to two men, the Nationals
had a golden opportunity for victory
in the ninth without calling on
Manush or Stone. Yet all they could
get was tying tally that only made
the eventual defeat more bitter.

WILL SPEND MILLIONS
FOR NEW WAR PLANES

PARIS, March 3.-(UP).-
France, terminating its one-year
naval holiday with Italy embarked
today on a defense program that
showed clearly its despair of

The program envisages:

ship cruiser and destroyer AMI
two submarines;
2.-Expenditure Of $197 AGO.

forces has been ordered by the
government.
The program calls for loan of
1000, 100000 francs (about
$3.50, 900, 0O0), to be spent imme-
diately in building a huge ar

Once given the appropriations,
he said he would begin first to

ing speed of 1870 miles an hour.
In addition to these and the huge

JOHNSON HAS
5-POINT Plan
Administrator Expire SIS e S
His Appreciation For
Suggestions Offered

WASHINGTON, Mar. g. CJPf
Administrator Hugh S. john
son laid down a five point pro-
gram last night to guide the
work of code authorities when
they meet next week in an eff
fort to strengthen the NRA by
revising industrial trade agree
ments.
In closing a "field day" of
criticism of the NRA. Johnson
expressed his gratitude for sin
cere suggestions made by critics
and listed the following five prin-
cipal problems of the recovery
administration:
Insurance that price increases
do not outrun wages; prevention
of industrial or labor control
against public interest: code COM
pliance; insurance of the statu-
tory rights of labor and maximum
contribution by NRA to the solu-
ton of the purchasing power and
unemployment problems.
Johnson referred briefly to
testimony by Mrs. Clifford Pin
chot wife of the governor of
Pennsylvania that the govern
ment had failed to protect the
right of steel workers to bargain
collectively under NRA and that
officials of several Pennsylvania
towns had denied her the right
to hold public labor hearings.
apparently Mrs. Pinchot does
not know that these are not in
the jurisdiction or control of
NRA at ALL" Johnson said. He
pointed out labor cases were un-
der the jurisdiction of the ma
tional labor board. He regretted
he had been unable ohear her
testify and added:
"When she held us responsible
for Pennsylvania towns where
labor meetings could not be held
l should have liked to have ask
ed her who was governor of that
state"
The closing session of the pro-
test forum heard plea by Ed
ward A. Filene, Boston. Mass,
department store owner, for a
new labor union policy which
would be fair to the worker as
well as the employer. He rec
commended a conference of lead
ing employers and labor leaders
to formulate a policy which would
eliminate industrial disputes.
A warning came from Hays
Jones, representing the Marine
Workers Industrial Union, New
York, that it's $4,000 members
will be called out on strike if the
shipping code is adopted in its
present form.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 3. (UP)
The United States is on the out
side, looking in, insofar as the
disarmament discussions now 60
ing on in Europe are concerned,
though it is, in general accord
with British arms proposals.
This was made plain yesterday
both at the White House and at
the state department. The latter
made public a transcript of con,
versation between Sir Ronald
Lindsay, British ambassador. and
JJnder-Secretary of State William
Phillips at the state department
on February 10. in which Phillips
told Sir Ronald that the United
States was in thorough accord
with the latest published views of
the British government on dis
armament, but went no further
He expressed the hope that the
British suggestions might result
in "a successful resumption OF
the general disarmament discus
sions." At the White House, the
president emphasized the vital IN
terest this government maintains
in all attempts to reach an accord
on disarmament.
But neither the White House
nor the state department indicat-
ed any belief that q solution of
the diarmament deadlock, or even
any great progress toward dis
armament, was likely in the near
future.
Both emphasized the determi-
nation of this government not to
