CLEVELAND, aug. Is. - One
week ago in Grant Park, Chicago, 1
played my first game of soft ball.
When the miseries get out Of my
back. the kinks and knots out Of
nv arms. and the slight sunStroke
out of my head, I hope to play
again. Not with the same team,
however, for my teammates, after
seeing me bat like Dazzy Vance in
a slump, field like Oliver Hardy,
and run the bases like Shanty Ho-
gan, asked waivers on me.
I suppose did do miserably. Par
ticularly so for one who was so
sure he could murder that fat ball,
and who couldn't possibly visualize
having an object that big go
through his legs at short stop.
When the captain of our team was
arranging the lineup he asked me
in what position I thought I'd bat
best. Having just caught a glimpse
of the opposing pitcher warming up
with a gentle underhand motion,
I had a confident, optimistic an
swer.
Put me in number four, that
cleanup slot. I'll guarantee a
double or better every time up with
that guy pitching that big ball
like that"
With a nice graciousness towards
a stranger, my teammates, old
seasoned softban players, gave me
the Gehrig spot. Perhaps they did
it for a laugh.
If they did they got four of them
one for each time I was at bat.
Casey, himself, with all Mudville
looking on, could have had no more
arrogant confidence than the first
time went up to bat. I waved the
outfielders back. I shook my baJ
menacingly. 1t was lucky that I did
this, as it was my one menacing
gesture of the day. The pitcher
threw three strikes and missed
| those three strikes by roughly the
distance between Fort Wayne, Ind,
and the ancestral mansion of the
Cabots in Back Bay, Boston.
Hank Gets Foul
The ball which had looked SO
fat and luscious at the start of the
pitchers windup came across the
plate resembling the twin brother
to a sifted English pea. In my four
times at bat I only touched the
ball once consisting, for me, a
batting streak) and earned me a
fine round of applause. 1t didn't
go anywhere the time I nicked it,
but spun crafty in the air after
the manner of a chicken whose
neck has been freshly wrung.
My fielding was what is techni-
cally known as "gawdawful." I had
four chances and muffed them all
with sterling precision. Around me
playing with amazing skill, were
my teammates and foes. They
handled the big ball beautifully
throwing it as swiftly and as ac-
curately as a baseball. 1t became
apparent to me that soft ball
which I had scorned with such fine
scorn, was a game which required a
lot Of playing.
After the game I learned that
low-score games such as 2-1, 10,
3-2, are the rule, and that pitchers
have learned to put enough stuff
on the ball to enable them TO pitch

DIZZY WANTS d
( REVENGE ON
\ GIANT GRE v
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Dizzy
Deans cold and stomach ache were
better today and he hoped to score
his initial victory of the season
over the New York Giants.
With l9 victories TO his credit,
but none of them over the Giants,
Dizzy asked Manager Frankie
Friseh to let him pitch the third
game of the vital series between
the Giants and Cardinals. The two
pennant contenders battled to even
terms in yesterdays double-header,
while the elder Dean was in his
hotel room sniffling and taking
medicine.
Dizzy was up early today, talking
about revenge on the Giants for
knocking his younger brother and
idol. Paul, out of the box in the
first game yesterday.
THAT was no way for Paul to
celebrate his twenty-second birth
day" Dizzy expostulated, I'm gon-
ma draw a bead on them today. And
I told Frankie I was strong enough
to beat 'em even if was in bed
all day yesterday"
Three games separated the Gi-
ants and Cardinals when they
clashed tdoay in the third battle OF
their present series. The Giants
Knocked off the first game yester-
day, ga, and then the Cardinals
rallied behind courageous pitching
of wild Bill" Hallahan to take
the second game, 80.
Bad blood is beginning to boil be-
tween the two clubs. A battle mar
rowly was averted yesterday when
three umpires quelled Leo Dur
ocher. Cardinals shortstop, and
Gus Mancuso, Giants catcher, in
the ninth inning of the first game.
A crowd of 50,868 persons, largest
paid weekday attendance in the
history of the National league, at
tended the twin bill.
Dizzy Deans pitching opponent
today probably will be Lefty Al
Smith, who temmed the tide in st.
Louis last month after the Giants
had lost six in a row, or Roy Par
melee, who has won one and lost
one against st. Louis this season.
The Boston Red SoX drew game
ahead of Chicago's White Sox and
one nearer second place New York
yesterday by whipping the White
Sox I'll, while the Yankees were
dropping a 7-6 decision to Cleve-
lands Indians. Detroit won an 1872
victory over Washington. The Phil
adelphia Athletics defeated st.
Louis, 8-2.
In the rest of the National
league. the third-place Chicago
Cubs dropped double decision to
Brooklyn, 9-5 and 80. Boston sub
dued Cincinnati, 81 and lis, and
Pittsburgh won over Philadelphia
81 and IA.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IS. U.P)
Tony Canzoneri, the lightweight
champion of the world, found HIM
self in the unusual role of under
dog today for his non-title bout
with Frankie Klick of San Fran
cisco in Civic auditorium next Mon
day night.
Despite Canzoneri's three victories
over his most persistent rival, the
odds have dropped from even money
to 10 to 8 favoring Klick.

italian champion said. 1T makes
fighting easier when the other fell

Klick also felt the same way for

NEGRO STAR 6
SUCCESS NOT
DUE To RACE
BY KILLER KREIGHBAUM
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. - An
anthropOlogiSt today revealed his
recent measurements of Jesse Owens
to explode the popular belief that
Negro athletes success in track
events IS due to physical differ
.ences from their white rivals.
Dr.. w. Montague Cobb, associate
professor of anatomy at Howard
university, measured the Negro
sprint and broadjump champion
While doing research work in an
thropology at Western reserve uni
Eersity this summer.
The physique of champion Ne
gro and white Sprinters in general,
and Jesse Owens in particular, re-
veal nothing to indicate that Ne
grCid physical characteristics are
anatomically concerned with the
present dominance of Negro ath-
letes in national competition in the
short daShes and broadjump," DR..
Cobb said.
There is not a single physical
characteristic which all the Negro
stars in question have in common
which would definitely stamp them
as Negroes.
Jesse Owens, who has run faster
and leaped farther than a human
being had ever done before, does
not have what is considered the
Negro type Of calf, foot and heel
bone"
Dr.. Cobb said one recognized
study showed the average white
males lower limb was 500 per cent
Of the total length of his leg and
the average Negro's lower limb was
.52.5 per. cent of his leg. owens
lower limb was 52.7 per cent of his
leg.
Owens has a short foot in con-
trast to its width and SurpaSses the
average for both Negroes and
whites. For the average Negro the
foot breadth is 35.5 per cent of the
foot width. For the average white
it is 36.1 per cent. For Owens it
is 1925 per cent
owens foot presents none of the
characteristics commonly but often
enormously designated as Negroid, -
DR.. Cobb said.
DR.. Cobb said the reason for the
recent rise of outstanding Negro
athletes would have to be found in
fields other than anthropology and
suggested that it might be due to
additional experience and better

"REST CURE" HELD
NEED OF INDUSTRY.
Roosevelt Letters Breed
Fear, Declares G. O. P.
4 National Body.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Republican National Committee
says industry wants "a complete rest
cure"-not just a breathing SPELL
assured by President Roosevelt.
Referring to the Presidents ex-
change of letters with Roy Howard,
publisher, the committee said in its
weekly pamphlet yesterday the letters
breed fear instead Of inspiring calm
ness"
At st. Charles, Mo, Senator Dickin-
son, Republican, OF Iowa, told q party
gathering that the administrations
course. can only end in national dis
aster" He saw the prospect Of "crush-
ing taxes and standard Of living
likely to be lower rather than higher
for the future"
Promise Held insufficient.
Col. Frank Knox, Chicago Daily
News publisher, who has been men
toned as a possible Republican presi-
dental candidate, said in Boston that
1T would require more than verbal
assurance to bring about that
restoration of confidence which Is
essential to permanent recovery"
, Col Knox said that because of the
New Deals ''repudiation" of 'the plat
form upon which the Democrats ap-
pealed to the people and upon which
they won their election the mere
promise of the President is by no
means sufficient"
Former Senator James A. Reed Of
Missouri, speaking at Chicago, de-
scribed the breathing spell" state
ment as the haldest admission that
the communistic government in Wash
ington has had its hands at the throat
of American business"
To Senate Democratic Leader JOS
eph T. Robinson, who commented on
the statement at Little Rock. Ark,
the Presidents letter indicates that
the program for counteracting the de-
preston is substantially complete"
"Aiibi for Mr.. Howard"
The Republican National Commit
tees pamphlet said the exchange of
letters more likely was designed to
afford Mr.. Howard a freshly laundered
alibi for keeping his newspaper chain
narrowly partisan in its support Of
the President and give it an excuse in
advance for advocating his renomina-
ton and election"
There is nothing in the Presidents
letter" it continued, ito which the
confidence of men of affairs can make
fast. He reiterates the fundamental
fallacy Of the New Deal-that 1t Is
impossible to distinguish between re-
covery and reform.
Because Of that blind obsession,
the Roosevelt administration, in the
name of reform, unloosed forces de-
structive of our sound and legitimate
economic structure. which made it
impossible to have business recovery
and which are justiflably accountable
for the hostility and fright which Mr..
Howard himself admits now pervade
the world Of business, finance and
industry"

VIRGINIA DEFENDS
LOW-WATER LINE
Old Compacts Did Not Fix
High-Water Mark as Bound
ary, Ball Says.

Stout defense Of the lov-water line
as the proper boundary between Vir-
ginia and the District of Columbia
was presented to the District-Vir-
ginia Boundary Commission today by
Frank L. Ball, former State Sena-
tor, representing the State and Ar
lington County.
Low-water line is conceded as the
boundary line along 240 miles Of
the Potomac River, the attorney con-
tended. He declared that the Fed
eral Government in its claim now
is asking that this little bit, only
10 miles long" be changed to an
entirely different boundary-the high
water mark.
Ball referred to the old compact
Of l785. and the later compact of
1877 between Maryland and Virginia,
as establishing the low-water line.
He said this later compact was rati-
fed and approved by the Legisla-
lures of both Maryland and Virginia
and by the Congress Of the United
States.
U. s. Contention Answered.
In reply to the contention recently
Of Federal counsel that all court de-
cisions bearing directly on the District
Of Columbia boundary placed it at
high-water mark on the Virginia side,
Ball said that all these cases had in
volved private parties.
Declaring that the unanimous de-
cision Of all tribunals" concerning the
State of Virginia directly had placed
the line at low-water mark, Ball in
sisted that for the commission for the
first time in history to reverse this
and establish different line at high
water mark would be both absurd"
and "untenable"
The former State Senator empha-
sized the difficulties he said were faced
by those charged with administration
Of criminal laws, where narrow strip
of Federal territory lay along the Vir-
ginia shore. He said Arlington County
and the State of Virginia were both
proud of their records In handling the
criminal element which had sought
refuge there outside the City of Wash
ington. He declared it was not only
announcement" for the District of Co.
lumbia to patrol such a strip of ter
ritory along the shore. but also "in-
convenient" to Virginia authorities.
especially when suspects could step
over the line there and defy arrest.
Hearing May End Soon.
Hearings on final arguments In the
case probably will conclude this week,
1t was indicated today, and briefs will
be submitted by September IS. The
commissions report will be ready for
Congress and the Legislatures of both
Maryland and Virginia by the specified
time. December l, 1t was predicted by
q member of the commission.
There were reliable indications that
the proposed agreement on the line
between the District and Alexandria
would be approved by the commission
and recommended to Congress and the
two Legislatures.

The skeletonized N. r. A., which Is
seeking to pave the way for new in
dustrial control legislation at the next
session Of Congress. reported today
that it has 3,042 employees and pay
roll of about $3.50 900 a month.
Ofhcials said this compared with a
force of 5,547 and monthly pay roll
of 1884 ,346 at the time the Supreme
Court killed N. R. A. codes.
Others entrusted with helping dis
missed employees to find positions re-
ported between 500 and 700 of them
were known to have been placed in
the Resettlement Administration, F.
e. r. A., the Rural Electrification Ad-
other Government agencies. In addi-
ton, they said, some had found new
Government jobs without reporting
that fact back to N. r. A.
Further Cuts Promised.
Laurence j. Martin, former chief
Of compliance and now acting N. r.
A. administrator. said the staff would
be reduced further as industrial
studies now in progress are completed.
He expressed doubt that over 1900
persons would be on the pay roll by
January /, but added that key en-
ployes who have a wealth of knowl-
edge" about industrial problems would
be retained wherever they could be
''gainfully employed"
If there is new legislation in Janu-
ary and We should need a staff of
5000 to administer it, it would be
foolish to dismiss In the meantime
those experienced and valuable en-
ployes who can be used gainfully," he
said.
N. P "A, like other emergency"
agencies. has been placed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt under the Budget Bu-
reau for supervision Of its admins
trative expenses.
Analyzing Information.
It's present staff is gathering and
analyzing information to serve as a
background for the new legislation
which the President has asked to pre-
serve such social and economic ad-
vantages" as were gained under N. r.
A. and other emergency enactments.
Mr.. Roosevelt's request for such
legislation at the next session was
given to congressional leaders prior to
his statement last week that his basic
legislative program was substantially
complete.
The old codes. activities of the code
authorities, conditions in industry
since the Supreme Court decision,
consumer problems, enforcement ques-
tions and the like are being studied
with view, Martin said, to separating
"the wheat from the chaff"
The President has indicated he
would forward the information gath
cred and conclusions drawn to con-
greSsional leaders from time to time,
and has requested that committees OF
the House and Senate meet this Fall
to begin consideration CT legislation.

CANADA AND j. S.
FAIL IN TRADE PACT
Conflicting Views, lust
Barred, Offer Explanation
Of Long Delay.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Canada and the United States have
conflicting views on fundamental pro-
posals for trade reciprocity agree
ments, it was disclosed at the state
Department today.
Correspondence on the subject be-
tween Secretary of State Hull and w.
D. Herridge, Canadian Minister. was
made public for the first time today.
1t took place last Fall. To some OBJ
servers. it offered an explanation Of
delay in concluding the long-sought
pact
A f1ve-point outline put forward by
Canada as suitable basis" for ne
gotiations suggested the United States
reduce by so per cent its tariffs on
SPECIFIC lumber and agricultural prod
ucts.
Hull replied that this Nation could
not make advance commitments 10
reduce duties on specified products.
adding that each product must be
carefully studied in the light Of exist
ing economic conditions before any de-
cision can be reached"
To a detailed exposition Of Cana
dian views of international balances.
suggesting that if Canada is to con-
tinue prompt payment of its obliga-
tions to the United States, "the ex-
ports of Canadian goods to the United
States must be increased or the i'm
ports Of goods from the United States
into Canada decreased" Hull said:
international balances are settled
on many fronts, ana it would be a
serious setback TO world trade If coun-
tries undertook to achieve balances
with individual countries"
The Secretary, however. expressed
his appreciation of the unfinching
determination with which the domin-
ion snd provincial governments have
met their loan obligations.
Although the Herridge note. dated
November IA. 1884. said there woulq
appear to be no barrier to the imme-
date initiation Of negotiations and
their speedy conclusions" active nego-
tiations for the pact have been under
way only for three weeks.
The State Department. Offering no
explanation why the correspondence
was made public at this time-Hull's
reply was dated December 27, 1894
said mo commitments have as yet
been made by either side"
