OD0DTCrnDC Diees, Labeled Dippy, Is
NUnl\ \CUl C Rival for Deans in

last seasons Panama bonnet against
q plugged nickel that the most enter
tanning Biloxi -datelined copy is writ
ten around Master Disgs: that while
he lasts Dippy will command more
space than any Of Mr.. Grifnth'S hire
lings: that the writing boys will for
get there ever was Dave Harris.
I don't know how far back Dippy's
Dean-ish tendencies date, but the first
inkling the washington club gained
of it was last September in st. Louis,
where Master Disgs spent s26 on
nickel base ball slot machine trying
to hit a home run. which Is achieved
by putting q ball one-hah inch in
diameter through q hole five-eighths
of an inch wide in "centerheld."
He spent those $40 nickels in
four days and never did hit the
homer"
Dippy's next bid for attention was
committed in Detroit. There he de-
voured a $3.50 dinner and. suddenly
ashamed at this extravagant CASTRO
nomic outburst while the Tigers were
pushing the Nationals into seventh
place, he hid from Secretary Eddie
Eynon, jr., for four days, or until the
team hit Cleveland.
TN CLEVELAND he made his major
i league debut as starter and beat
the Indians. That night he slowed
away another huge dinner, but this
time he looked Eynon sQuarely in the
eye. In Philadelphia he started his
second game and had the AS whipped
until he threw Jimmy Foxx q fast
ball that neglected to hop.
1t was for Washington, though, that
Dippy Disgs saved his prize stunt.
On the next TO last day Of the season
he was nominated to pitch the first
game of q double -header against the
Yankees Game time arrived but
there was no Dippy. The umpire
busted of the plate but still no Ddggs.
Finally, Dippy appeared at the club
house and calmly asked the amazed
Eynon for q pass for his brother.
Where" demanded Eynon, with q
great display Of self-control, have
you been? The games starting al
ready. Schacht (Al was acting man
ager while Cronin was honeymoonins)
has started Sid Cohen"
"Wait . minute, Mr.. Eynon,"
explained Digs, I've got .
geeA excuse. On my way to the
ball park-en Sixteenth street,
to be exact-a tire on my divver
went fat and I had an awful
time patching It."
We still maintain Master Disgs will
prove Q refreshing person to have
around, especially with Sheriff Harris
gone. Now II he can only pitch as
well Is prove most entertaining copy,
Bucky Harris should have the easiest
job in base bail. There is only one
danger. II Dippy calmly vulcanizes q
tire on Sixteenth street while his
chance to debut before Grifith and
the home fans stands in jeopardy, he
may fall sound asleep in the pitchers
box during q really trivial moment in
his life, such rs when the bases are
loaded and the score is tied.

They Pull Together.

PRIVATELY and in tie presents-

praised the Eastern team, which
for two years has won the District
championship, as one Of the best CO.
ordinsted basket ball machines he has
seen.
None of its members is real stand

boy seems to know q little more about
the game than the others. But the
way they play together, passing up
individual chances to score when a
pass to another member Of the team
would make q shot at the basket easier,
shows . lot Of good coaching, and
genuine team spirit"
Eastern grabbed an early lead when
Scheible shot basket, and from there
out the Marylanders plainly were the
losers. The end of the first quarter
found Eastern with an 11-to-1 lead,
the single point for Bethesda scored
by Putnam, and the game was well
into the second period before Bethes-
da-Chevy Chase counted from the
field. At half time Eastern's margin
was 10 to 1.

THERE is something to be
- said for the proposition that
the free spending of money helps
trade and hence works for general
prosperity. Most health resorts
live, to a considerable extent, on
the money spent by outsiders who
frequent the resort and who bring
their money with them. 1t would
not stimulate business at a Ger
man Spa, for example, if the
money spent by the visitors had
been obtained by collecting it first
from the people of the town
through sales tax or any other
form of taxation!
And herein lies the fatal de-
feet in the Townsend plan. 1t
takes away from all the people
Gncluding the Townsend pen
sioners) over half their income,
and thus makes it impossible for
the 80 per cent of the people not
in the Townsend plan to spend
any money!
If good DR.. Townsend, the
apostle of this faith, could get
the Is billions (plus expenses
from some outside source-per-
haps the planet Mars-and hand
it out to the 1912 million 60-year-
olds to spend, his faith would be
justified by his works. But there
is no way to get the 25 billions, ex-
cept to take it away from the in
comes arising from wages, salaries
and interest on investments. Main
", it would come from those lly-
ing on wages and salarieS-la-
borers, clerks, college professors,
school teachers and all who earn
their livelihood by service in one
form or another.
The Townsend religion is based
on a profound fallacy-the as
sumption that by taking billions
away from all the people and CIV
ing it a small minority to spend
we can bring in prosperity. 1t is
something like another theory with
which we are now familiar-to
bring in prosperity by going into
debt.
Townsendism is a sincere re-
ligion on the part Of those who
practice it. But sincerity is only
one quality which a religion must
have. 1t must not only feel, it
must think straight. Neither re-
ligion nor economics can endure
on a false foundation.
The politicians who are flirt-
ing with the Townsend plan are
playing with fire.
