Will, defending champion, was

Ted Burrows and George Molloy,

to appear at the starting tees.
Nearly Scores Ace
O'Malley pulled off the most
spectacular shot of the day when
he nearly holed his drive on the
ninth, 265 yards, Course B. The
ball stopped two feet from the
cup and he easily got his eagle
deuce.
John Baer, after counting 70 in
the morning, gained on the
leaders in the afternoon with a

went awry and he needed 46
strokes on the return trip.
Joe Micker and K. B. Williams

NEW YORK, July 10 One Of
the truly big sporting events Of
the year takes place at the Polo
Grounds in our town today, and
thus far nobody has asked me If
I think it will be on the level.
Nobody will. Everybody knows
1t will be on the level.
That is a genuine tribute to
baseball, and a tribute well de.
served. Save for an almost
disastrous fall from grace in
1919 the game always has been
all right, and always will be.
From time to time 1 have
read Of Arnold Rothstein, who
was the brains behind the fixing
Of the 1919 worlds series be-
tween the Chicago White Sox
and Cincinnati Reds, that he
grew fearful when accused OF
fixing the Upset-Man O'War
race at Saratoga. These state
ments seemed to imply that
"the brain" deserved a measure
of sympathy because he was
hurt by the oft-repeated charge
that he connived in the refeat
Of a great horse.
. His reasoning is difficult to
fathom. Many horses have been
fixed. Until RothStein did it,
nobody had ever dreamed that
it was possible to fix a major
league ball game. There was no
dearth of things in the career Of
the frigid veined Broadway
racketeer of which he had good
cause to be ashamed, but the
greatest of these was that he
deliberately set out to defile a
sport in which millions of Amer
ican boys had implicit faith.
95 Years Old
Both Rothstein and the Black
Sox Of 1919 were only a dark
interlude in the history of a
game that is 95 years old this
summer. It's pretty good when
you have only one bad year in
95. We should live that long
and have no more bad years
than that.
It may be news to some of
you younger fans that there
were II men on a team when
Abner Doubleday. a West Point
cadet, drew up the first rules
of baseball in 1889. The two
extra players stood between the
bases, much as the ShortStop
does today. Casey Stengel. who
has tried virtually everything
else over in Brooklyn, might
try that with delightful Dodgers
one of these afternoons. He
could dig up a copy of Abner
Doubleday's rules in case there
was an objection, and point out
the clause that calls for II
players.
Lieutenant Doubleday, was .
native of Cooperstown, N. Y.
and so far as is known the
game was first played in field
near that town.
Doubleday seems to have a
knack for starting things. He
was so destined to start the
Civil War by firing the first
shot on Fort Sumpter, and 10
years ago this month he
started the bloody battle Of
Gettysburg, where he COM
manded the Union forces dur
ing one of the four days that
saw the Confederacy reach its
high tide in Pickett's immortal

Acting Federal Relief Admins

crease, with the number of fami-
lies on the relief rolls dropping

large increase in the number of
new cases.

revaluation of all telephone prop

operate in a sweeping investiga-
tion.
Bell System Probe Seen
The announcement confirms the
widespread opinion that the local
utilities commission might be-
come the spearpoint in a general
attack on telephone problems, and
comedies with the understanding
that the newly formed Federal
Communications Commission is
about to undertake an investiga-
ton into the parent Bell con-
Germ, the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company.
In asking Chairman Eugene
Sykes of the Federal Communica-
tions Commission to join hands
with the PUG in a revaluation
of the local telephone company,
Chairman Riley E. Elgen of the
Public Utilities Commission re-
viewed the facts of the recent
10 per cent cut in phone rates
and the fact that the company
has appealed the rate cut order.
Economy in Cooperation
After explaining the theories on
which the PUG ordered a rate
cut, Chairman Elgen said:
"It occurs to us that in view
of the authority vested in the
Federal Communications Com
mission by Congress to make
such valuations and to deter
mine such original costs the
work which this commission
cOntempIateS could be utilized
by your commission. A part Of
the cost Of the investigation
would be borne by us and a
part by the Federal Govern
ment. We believe it would be
economically unsOund to pursue
parallel Investigations"

Maj. Gotwals
TBe Kept In
District Job

Major John C. Gotwals will re-
main for the present as Engineer
Commissioner of the District Of
Columbia, although his four-year-
term of office expires today. In
dications are that he will con-
tinue at the District Building at
least until President Roosevelt re-
turns to the city.
District Building officials con.
suited by members of the Presi-
dents official family are of the
opinion that the White House be-
lieves Major Gotwal's program Of
work is too important to be dis
turbed at this time.
Believed Significant
It is believed to be significant
that the War Department has not
ordered Major Gotwals to duty
with troops, as is general under
the law which prescribeS that Of
ficers must return to the field
after years of duty elsewhere.
There was a rumor in the
District Building today that the
War Department had decided to
follow the law in a technical man.
ner by ordering the major to duty
with troops in this area and at
the same time leave him at the
District Building.
RumOr UncOnfirmed
Inquiry at the War Depart
ment failed to confirm this rumor.
1t was declared, however, that
the War Department had no in
tention at present of issuing any
orders moving Major Gotwals.
1t was said, however, that the
retirement board of the Army has
before it facts regarding Major
Gotwals' physical condition. This
inquiry was initiated by the
board itself, but the indications
are that no action will be taken
at present which will interfere
with Major Gotwals' continuance
at the District Building until the
Presidents return.

JAIL AND FINES
!. FOR 'K|CKBACK'

The almost unsuspected exist
ence of a drastic criminal statute
the Federal Government may use
against fraudulent contractors.
particularly against those who per-
sist in operating the "kickback
racket" came to light today when
it became known that the law had
been explained by Louis CLAWS,
special investigator for the Depart
ment of Interior, to his field army
of Investigators.
The law provides penalties rang
ing as high as $4,000 fines and
1O.year penitentiary terms for con-
tractors who withhold necessary
information, or who give false in
formation to the Government with
respect to contracts, NRA codes
and pay rolls.
