played q part in the advancement
Of Michigans program lies in the fact
that gridiron receipts are q tangible
factor in financing athletic activities
for the entire university. This ! be-
neve is true throughout the Nation" Z"
It can't very well help being true,
especially when you consider that
many of the 200 boys who play foot
ball at q college are not playing It
for physical betterment at all. They
are kicking, pushing, and painting for
the honor of the school, the glory Of
the box office, and the safety of the
coach's job. This is elementary stuff,
and Mr.. Kipke comedies most Of it by
implication.
At this point the heir Of Yost gets
slightly of the track.
"Some critics Of foot ball." he says,
insist that too many men and women
sit In the stands. Yet their presence
helps bring about desire for better
physical condition for themselves and
results in a greater interest in the
work to which you are devoting your
lives"
It's probably as screwy and wrong
headed as can be to say that too many
men and women sit in the stands.
They paid for the privilege, after
all, and they're supposed to be old
enough to know what they want. But
I doubt If their presence on the So
yard line or back of the goalposts has
anything to do will q desire for. or
interest in. better physical condition.
Mr.. Kipke is Just speaking q piece
which has all the familiarity and pro-
fundity Of Mr.. Longfellow's Wreck
Of the Hesperus."

1894 Just about where they left of in
1898, with every arm clicking. Even
rival clubs have agreed that If Carl
Hubbell was as good this season as
he was year ago the Giants would
be hard to handle.
It so happens the willowy left
handler with the ducking shoot looks
every bit as good this Spring as he
ever looked in his career. And this
applies to the other three pitchers.
The real test will not arrive until
the Giants head West and their crack
pitching staff is thrown against the
busy bats of Cubs, Cardinals and
Pirates.
This first Western trip will tell a
big part of the story. If the heavier
looking attack of these three Western
clubs can't break down Giant pitching

One Good Slab Feat.


ODDLY, only one has gone through
~ to a decently pitched ball game.
-.- AL Thomas, the right-hander,
with his doctored arm, put to shame
all other hurlers who were supposed
to be in their prime. Thomas in his
exhibition in Philadelphia only last
Sunday proved the first OF the curving
corps to be able to 60 the route.
There is every reason to believe, ac-
cording to Cronin, that the rest of the
pitchers will swing into their proper
stride during this home stay
When they do. the Washington ball
club will give Capital fandom its hon.
est base ball.
So far as hitting is concerned, the
club has performed honestly. Not so
high, Of course, as it did last year
throughout the route, but in better
form than their hitting average ap-
pears to indicate. The top of the bat
ting list, with the exception Of Buddy
Myer, has swung with vigor. There
is nothing to feel alarmed about in
the clubs hitting proweSs.
The club now has its thorough test
ahead. It is meeting all seven rivals
on its home grounds. It beat out each
Of these rivals in great style last year.
Why worry about its success this
year?

~ The Nationals have

first seven games. But we still
consider them our regular ball
club as they go into the home

They'll go places and make a
great fight for the pennant.
The club has had its troubles
with it's pitching-and what
club hasn't in the big leagues
today-but it has the ability to
carry through.
AS the Washington club opens its
home game today, it enters a trying
schedule for this early season. It
carries on through % games before
it takes the road after having been
beaten in four of seven games in its
initial tour. That is no criterion.
1t has been against two clubs who
have hit well, but probably over their
heads. There is no reason to believe
that Bill Werber of the Red Sox will
connect with the ball as solidly as he
has, or that Bill Wartsler of the Ath-

There Is every reason to figure they
have been hitting too well.

n with its beveled seams, is just
as lively as the old base ball of
five years ago. The manufacturers of
this sphere and the moguls of both
leagues, who have cried aloud that
they have come back to the base ball
Of the old days when sheer power and
swinging from the heels meant more
than science and skill are confounded.
With the new ball it seems to be
simply taking firm grip on the bat
and getting your cut for all it's worth.
This is not meant as an alibi for
the ineffectiveness of the Washington
pitching at this time. The pitchers
came into the championship season
in perfect condition physically. There
is no doubt of this. 1t was under
stood by Manager Joe Cronin that
they were so. The pitchers them
selves declared they we're right.
Yet in the few games to date they
have not carried on in the form that

EDITORIAL

Since the close of the Bethlehem
sugar factory St. Croix has been going
on crutches. Immediately after the
collapse of the Bethlehem company the
island was PROSTATE, many persons must
have died from the effects of starvation
had not the Government established
dole system.
This awful situation helped to impress
upon mir. Herbert D. Brown OF the
Bureau of Efficiency, better than words
could do, the necessity of working to-
wards permanent improvement OF the
economic conditions, and the first step
towards this goal was to establish home
steads on the island.
By dint of perseverance and tremen-
dous financial risks the LaGrange and
Central Sugar factories swung into
operation and have done remarkably
well in improving the economic situa-
ton. Added to their efforts were the
recent Federal grants for the relief of
distress and unemployment.
All these have been intermediary steps
towards the establishment Of new
civilization, under which few men would
have too much and VERY FEW would
have too little.
While local effort led in the rehabilita-
ton the Federal Government has set up
a million dollars TO push the islands to a
state of permanent prosperity.
With unemployment banished and
prosperity in sight men would be less
bitter and less prone to be the victims of
aimless agitation.
There are two distinct classes of lea
ders in this community who by
constructive planning and well directed
efforts quietly and successfully lead the
island forward. and those who unbalance
the people. tell them halftrurhs un-
truths and tales which are purely the
product of the imagination. Perhaps
this element is a necessary evil which
must be endured. 1t is the people who
must. in their moments of silence forget
