HEARING ON CASE
SOUGHT BY EVERS
Thinks Ex-Convict Should
Be Allowed to Appear.
Judge Is Silent.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
@HICAGo, June 12.-Kenesaw
Mountain lands, the final
" court Of appeals in organized
base ball, today awaited the
records in the case Of Edwin ala
bama" Pitts, ex-convict who was de-
MED the right to play ball with the
Albany club Of the international
League.
Commissioner lands was expected
to receive the reports late today or to-
morrow. Meanwhile, he remained in
seclusion at his hotel suite because
Of a severe cold and high blood nres-
sure, but his secretary indicated there
was little chance for a decision until
next week.
The 68-year-old former Judge fol-
lowed his usual rule of complete Sc
lence on a case pending definite deci-
sion and there was no comment from
his Office on the possibility of Pitts
personally presenting his appeal from
the decision Of the president and
Executive Committee Of the National
Minor Base Ball League Association.
1t was understood scores of letters
and kilograms on both sides Of the
issue were received by Lands as the
case came to him. Among them were
believed TO be several offers of inter-
ested parties to appear personally on
behalf Of the 24-year-old New Yorker
who gained fame as q player on the
Sing Sing Penitentiary nine.
But whether the commissioner
would hear the pleas, including one
from Warden Lewis z. LAwes of Sing
Sing, was not known.

~ H1cAGo, June l2.-President

that extends from the ground to the
top of the double-decker grandstand.
Even Chicago newspapermen admitted
it looked foul. Yet Owens, after first
giving the impression it was foul to

men on the bases at the time around
the sacks.
The pitching may be debatable and
at times the batting order appears too
southpaw-heavy. but one champion
ship essential the Nationals appear to
have is heart-plenty Of 1t.

Answer Is Hard to Get.

w This is one question that gets
a rise out of Harris these days, espe-
cially now that Jack RuSsell's promo
ton to starting status has deprived
the Griffs of their ace rescue hurler.
I'D give my right arm to know, "
answers Bucky. 1T is something I'M
definable because the boy is fighting.
I can't believe he is through I
can't help but feel he will stage a
comeback. But when?"
No more mystified by his constant
failures is the problem child himself.
Late last season he gave every indica-
ton of belatedly poisoning into the
best pitcher on the club. He drew
many prophecies to that effect last
Spring at Biloxi. He was the first
Washington pitcher to go the route
this American League campaign.
That was his first and last pitching
victory until yesterday. And yester-
day it would have eased Harris mind
had Bob not been in the initial game
to receive credit" for the triumph
that enabled the Nationals to split a
double header with the White SoX.

Bob Also Is Puzzled.

BURKE himself is not hiding from
the facts. "All I know" AYERS
Bob with a pretense of cheer he
doesn't feel, lis that I'm throwing a
'gofor' ball-go for distance. The
batters aren't satisfied with only sin
giles. They're seeking doubles, triples
and homers, and I can't figure it,"
It is no joke about the extra bases,
either. In the last five games in which
Burke has participated Bob has taken
q pounding. He has pitched 81 in
nings. has been pounded for % hits,
good for Al extra bases, and has given
UP % runs. He has walked eight
batsmen and hit another.
At that. Bob had company in his
misery. Henry Coppola, sensational
shutout winner in his first and only
previous start, finally has tasted de-
feat. The 20-year-old rookie, after a
great start in the nightcap, suddenly
found his STUFF was gone and before
he was taken out in the Chisox fifth,
Coppola was touched for nine safeties,
three walks and seven runs.

GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS

a LMOST seven billion dollars Of the tax
payers money has passed through the
hands Of the Reconstruction Finance Corp.
If the expectations of the RFC materialize
taxpayers may never nave to dig down into
their pockets to pay of any Of this except the
one billion two hundred million expended for
relief. Theoretically The remainder of the
disbursements ultimately will be redeemed
when and as the RIGS loans are repaid and
its investments marketed. Already more than
two billions in loans have been repaid.
But the significance of using about five bill
lion eight hundred million dollars of the tax
payers credit to bolster up and hold together
the Nations private credit structure should not
be lost.
The RFC-greatest Of the Governments
depression enterprises-was created in the
Hoover Administration, later expanded by the
Roosevelt Administration, and now is to be
further extended-an ct the insistence of pri-
,vate business.
The RFC is government in business on a
grand scale, and it serves the needs of the
very interests that agitate loudest to take the
Government out of business. Each conserva-
tive agitator, it seems, mas his own private res
erations. He is against government in bust
ness on principle, but favors it in practice
when it is grist for MS own mill.
Banks, insurance companies. railroads.
mortgage houses, building and loan associa-
tions, home owners, farm owners and indus
tries of many types have eagerly partaken of
Government credit. Indeed, if the Govern
ment had not come to the rescue, our whole
system probably would have collapsed. And
at the bottom of the debris would have been
the bank depositors, insurance policy holders
and others whose financial interests are riveted
into the private credit structure which now
stands upon a Governmental made foundation.
The Government probably is in business to
stay. Whether its activities will be enlarged
or curtaied will depend, not upon arguments
pro or con, but upon the extent that private
business in the future is able to get along with
out Government help.

A NEW MODEL NEEDED

THIS is the season of the year when the
L automotive industry operates at high gear,
employing thousands of additional workers to
turn out hundreds of thousands of 1885 model
cars.
In a few months thousands of workers will
be dropped from the pay rolls and returned
to the relief rolls, to wait for the industry to
get ready for another seasonal squirt.
Donald Richberg, Administration spokes-
man on industrial matters, bluntly told the in
dustry in a Detroit speech that it must cease
this irresponsible treatment of workers. He
advised the manufacturers to agree on year.
round production and permit workers to bar
gain collectively for steady employment.
Gan investment of 100 million dollars in
producing capacity which is used for six
months is obviously uneconomical, compared
with an investment of so million dollars which
is used for u months. To employ 100000 men
at comparatively good wages for six months,
especially under the strain of continuous high
speed operations, is obviously less efficient
use of human labor than to give smaller
number of men continuous employment at
lower wages under better conditions"
BY denying workers the right to bargain,
Mr. Richserg said, automotive manufacturers
are inviting Government regulation of hours
and wages and working conditions.
There is only one sure deterrent of in
creased political control of business along
these lines" he said, land that is increased
reliance upon collective bargaining"
If Mr. Richberg's admonition is not needed,
some such statutory measure as a 30-hour
week probably will be fastened upon the in
dustry.
This issue may come to head speedily
The NRA will report in few days on working
conditions and seasonal employment in the
automotive industry.
When he ordered NRA to make this in
vestigation, President Roosevelt said:
1T is not very useful to pay man $40 a
day if he is employed only IS days in a year."
