Red Barry, however. might be a step
in this direction for, unappreciated
as he is by local fandom, it cannot
be denied the rubbery fat boy has
licked sizeable percentage of this
country's better heavyweights. Red
still is not a puncher nor a title
contender. He can throw you down
with a completeness and abandon
which almost smacks of an art. But
he has a record and Fiducia, by win
ming Tuesday, will have pretty good
start toward compiling reputation
of his own.

tige by defeating Fiducia, who will
weigh anywhere from 20 to 80 pounds
less But loss may hurt Red plenty.
He is lined up for a juicy shot at

Fiducia scores Tuesday, Red may find

Rockville Loses To
Gaithersburg Again

Rockville lost to Gaithersburg
again Sunday with second string
pitchers in the lineup. We under
stand that Manager Eugene Gin
CELL has tentatively resigned as a
result of much riding" on the part
OF several Rockville "fans." Rock
vile had had an in and out season,
but we can hardly place the blame
on Manager Gingell.
One particular "fan," we are in
formed, went so far as to consign
first baseman Baker and catcher
Stuffy Howard to the Barnum and
Bailey circus. Of such stuff only
few Rockville fans are made.
Everyone knows who is responsible
for the story $50 let it go at that.
Gwen though Colesville may be
clearly termed county champs"
for 1884, let US realize that the
Rockville manager did his best. I
predict that he will be asked to
serve again. May he be backed by
better fans than certain parties
who talk like wild men let loose
under Hitler or Huey Long," as
one local business man said yester-
day.

Out of 312 Democrats in the House
of Representatives during the past
session of Congress, David J. Lewis
was selected by the Administration to
pilot the unemployment insurance bill
in the House.
His selection was natural. The vet
eran congressman has long been a
leading advocate of social security
measures. In addition to years Of
study in this country, Mr.. Lewis spent
three months abroad in 1881 studying
European treatments of the subject.
Mr.. Lewis, (Davy J.,) as he is
affectionately known in Montgomery
County, is recognized nationally as
the "father of the parcel post act" and
as the champion Of the peoples
rights.
The purpose of the Lewis bill was
to facilitate passage of state laws es-
tablishing systems of unemployment
insurance. Such systems had been pro-
posed in 81 state legislatures but had
failed because of the fear of prejudic-
ing the states manufacturers in their
competition with competitors in states
not adopting unemployment insurance.
The Lewis measure proposed five
per cent. tax Clater amended in COM
mittee to three per cent? on payrolls
of employers of 10 or more persons
the tax, however, could be offset by
any employer contributing to unem-
ployment insurance reserves under
law, or showing ability to furnish
steady employment to workers.
Workers benefits were set at seven
dollars or 20 hours wages n week for
not less than 10 weeks, or for time
dependent on the period of previous
employment.
Besides introducing the bill in the
House, Mr.. Lewis was named chair
man of special Ways and Means
subcommittee to consider the meas
ure.

will be given at the Baltimore Stad-
ium on Friday and Saturday evenings
of this week under the direction Of
Percy ]. Burrell, will officially close
Maryland's Tercentenary year.

ant has been divided into ten episodes,
which will be played on two levels

The participants in the pageant
number 1858 persons, including the
chorus Of 1900 voices under the direc-
ton of Eugene Martinez. 1t will be the
largest ever heard in Baltimore in the
last 30 years and it's like will probably
never be heard again in this genera
ton. 1t is supported by a 46-piece
band, besides which an orchestra in
Colonial costume will play on the field
to accompany the dancers.
Each of the % duchesses, one for
each Of the % counties Of Maryland
will be attended by two maids Of hon
or, two pages, and standard-bearer.
They will all appear in the epilogus
Of the pageant, each duchess borne
upon q palanquin with four bearers
and escorted by her attendants. They
win proceed to the stage and pause
before Lady Baltimore and her at
tendants and will be rendered an of1c-
ial welcome by Lady Baltimore.
Mrs. George A. Young, Of Gathers
