Owens Nemesis of Mats.

1MPIRE BRICK OWENS always
manages to find ways to get in
the Nationals hair. His latest stunt
yesterday was pip. After Manush had
opened the sixth with single, Travis
followed with a one-base poke to Gen.
terfield and White threw to third in
an effort to get Heinie. The throw was
wild and shot by toward the Tiger
dugout. Owens. rushing toward the
play from the plate, managed to kick
the ball, however, and 1t bounced right
back into the hands of Marvin Owen,
Detroit third baseman. who thus
managed to catch Travis taking Sec
ond base.
That Kress man is still on the loose.
In addition to making two hits yes
terday Red contributed a great catch
to end the game. Schoolboy Rowe
batting for White in the tenth, shot
a liner over shortstop. but Kress
leaped high in the air, tipped up his
gloved hand and snagged it in the
webbing for sensational play.

NEW POOL PLANS

as Relief Projects.

Preparation of plans for construc-
ton of four additional swimming pools

relief projects, has been ordered by
Commissioner Allen, works progress
administrator.
Heretofore he has restricted his
work as administrator to passing on
plans proposed by department execu-
tives, but took this step to assure ex-
pansion Of facilities for swimming and
wading.
Allen recently approved requests
for construction of two swimming
pools and eight wading pools and
other playground work having total
estimated cost of $572,000. These
now are awaiting Federal action.
One Pool for Southwest.
One of these pools would be built
in the southwest section and the
other in the Barry Farms community.
Sites for the additional pools have
not been determined upon.
1T am for more swimming pools
and more wading pools for the chill
dren of the District" said Allen.
They need them, deserve them and
I want to see if we can get them
under this work program"
Meanwhile, c. Marshall Finnan,
superintendent of National Capital
parks, said today that the municipal
pool at Seventeenth street and Con-
stitution avenue will remain until a
replacement pool is constructed.
Two Other Pools Planned.
Earlier this year Finnan said the
pool would be RACED shortly after
Labor day, but plans have been
changed to await the construction
of the pool in the Southwest and a
contemplated pool in Georgetown.
The Parks Service plans two new
pools out of the $1,000,000 P. w. A.
park fund, one of them to be near
the Hoover Playground in the South
west. Engineers are preparing plans
for this and the Georgetown pool.
The municipal pool is to be re-
moved to make way for the flood
control dixie being constructed on the
Washington Monument Grounds in
accordance with plans of the United
States Engineer Office. Dirt to. fill
in the pool will be piled nearby until
it and the accompanying buildings
are RACED, it was said.

The dean Of major league man. agers, Connie Mack, has picked Hal Trosky, Clevelands clouting young first baseman, as the slugger most likely to succeed Babe Ruth as the Sultan of Swat in the American League.
 Not bad choice at that. The h. dians' youngster did an amazingly fine job of pounding the ball last season when he hit 35 home runs while piling up all average Of 320 and drove in 142 runs. This is his first full term in the big league
 The 22-year-old slugger from Nor way, la, like Babe Ruth, began as q pitcher, switched to the outfield and then wound up at first base He packs over 200 pounds of muscle on his 6-foot, 2-inch frame and puts every bit or it behind his blows. He bats left but throws right.
 There are plenty who will dis agree with Comics nomination Lou Gehrig has quite following who insist that he actually has ta- ken the Babes place as slugger ex- itraordinary of the American League What's more they will let you know that he did it last year while the Bambino was still in the league.

TO GET NEW PLACE
 IN BALL PARK
Ccnterfield Position Picked Moose Hold In-
 itial Workout

Hall the baseball fans in the city won't be required to crane neeks anymore whenever desirous of eye ing the Baseball Parks scoreboard For, this week, repairs and inn provemsnts to the city's diamond include moving of the scoreboard.
 Formerly situated back and above tne left field grandstand, the sign will be transported near Ninth Street to a location approximating center field. This, of course, will be an improvement, as all fans will be able to glean scoring facts from the board with just a moments glance.
 Permission to move the scoreboard to the new property was given yes- terday by Allen Shattuck, owner. i Meanwhile, practice sessions started yesterday continue at a daily clip. The Moose had their firs5 organized turnout last night, working under Playing Manager Claude [. sxine. Manager Art Mo i Klnncn could not attend Tonight, the champion Eiks squad will take the field
 While the entire Moose squad was not on hand last night, nevertheless indication were plentiful that the fraternal nine will be serious con- tender in the three-cornered scrap for city honofs. For instance, it has a newcomer, Dave Turner, who came here from Anchorage last !, winter. Turner, who played substi- tue forward on the Krause Con- creters basketball team, also is a pitcher and bids fair to offer the Moose much hurling strength.
 However, the workout was re- strlctea to tossing the ball around and brief infield defense play. The field, being given its annual spring
 manicure" by O. H. tBig Mac Mao5padden, wasn't in any shape Tor intensive work.

when individual states were consid- ering such legislation, had committ- cd themselves to it's support. They knew also that many employers be- longing to the Republican Party would oppose it, and call the Presi- dents program socialistic.
 So they took off the lid, and threw the whole subject open to de- bate. It is not beyond belief that they hoped the Republican leader ship would take a definite stand in opposition, and fill the pages of the congressional record with speeches which later could be used in an ef- fort to show that the Republican party is the party of big business, and against the masses"

 h leaving his own Jimmy Foxx out of the picture, Connie Mack must appreciate that the shift from iirst base to the post behind the plate isn't likely to add power to Jimmy Foxx's bat.
 The lanky Hank Greenberg. Of the Tigers, will bear a bit of watch ing in the slugging derby. He did well enough last season when he came mighty close to the league record when he gathered in 63 dou- bles and pounded out a seasons average of 3.39 to top Jimmie Foxx His home run card shows 26 circuit clouts.

While any one of the foremen- toned may turn up as the 1895 slugging king 1t is hardly likely that any will really step into the Babes old shoes for the plain and simple reason that the big fellow is still very much in them himself.
 The fact that he hit one of his home runs and practically beat the Giants single handed on opening day made everything else pale into insignificance. That Carl Hubbell happened to be the first victim in the National League added luster
