Lower Division
Fight Affects
Loop Leaders
Second Bracket Clubs May
Hold Solution to
N. |. Battle.
BY HENRY SUPER
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Although
they are definitely out of the race,
the second division clubs may hold
the key to the bitter National
League pennant fight.
All four of them-Cincinnati.
Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia
have enough incentives to win
games during the remainder of the
season to cause the three pennant
chasers no end of trouble.
The st. Louis Cardinals, New
York Giants and Chicago Cubs are
punched so closely as they hammer
down the home-Stretch that every
game won and lost from now on has
a bearing on their pennant chances.
About the only team sure of its
place is fourth place Pittsburgh, too
far behind to rise any farther and
too far ahead to drop any lower.
Aim for New Goals
Here are the second division in
centives which may play a major
part in the pennant scrap:
Cincinnati - Charley Dresser,
completing his first full year as
manager hopes to win 81 games. The
Reds haven't scored that many vic
tories in five years and need only
five more triumphS to turn the
trick
Philadelphia-The Pills, waging
a spirited battle for fifth place, will
fall below last seasons level if they
finish lower than that. -Four games
behind the Brooklyn Dodgers, Phil
adelphia is primed to take over the
second division lead before the sea-
son ends.
Dodger Shakeup Looms
Brooklyn-The Dodgers have two
incentives. To take fifth place,
which would be an improvement
over 1888 and 1884 when they were
sixth, and to forestall an impending
shakeup. Manager Casey Stengal is
expected to be given a free hand IN
drafting new faces for next year.
Hence, a reversal of form may cause
Casey to keep some players he
otherwise would release.
BoSton-The Braves must start
winning if they hope to avoid set
ting a new modern National League
record for most games lost in a sea-
son. The Phillies of 1926 hung up
the present mark of 43 victories and
100 defeats. The Braves, who have
won 80 and lost 90, need II vic
tories in their remaining 90 games
to avoid equalling that mark.
First Place Battlers Win
Three second division clubs which
saw action yesterday Jared badly.
The Cardinals scored four runs in
the eighth inning to defeat the Bos-
ton Braves, 6-3, and stay two games
ahead of the Giants Wally Berger
of the Braves clouted his thirtieth
homer to take the National League
leadership. The Giants halted Gin
cinnati, ga, as Carl Hubbell won his
twentieth game of the season. The
Cubs stayed within half a game of
the Giants with an 80 victory over
Philadelphia. The other teams were
unScheduled.
All American League games were
washed out.

Oil IL q
Robinson has done for the Ad-
ministration, there is one thing
certain. His has been a thank
less task.
The old days of leadership
have passed for majority and
minority. Instead of being in
a position where one could de-
pend on the vast percentage OF
party members following along
on legislative problems, leaders
must now use the whip. the
lash, argument and persuasion
to force their wards into line.
It is a difficult job.
Robinson has had to contend
with various groups in his own
party. The left-wingers, the
rightwingers, the JeffersOnian
Democrats and others have all
constituted a serious problem.
For Minority Leader Charles L.
McNary of Oregon the same
has been true on a lesser scale.
Robinson had the task OF put
ting across the legislation the
Administration termed must"
and in so doing necessarily
stepped on the toes of many of
his colleagues. And tUhtle he

gigantic Job, the people in Ar

In the recent deficiency bill
there was a 100000 item that
will aid the people of Arkansas.
Robinson is given credit for
securing that item.
Although the Republicans are
taking credit for defeating the
administration supporters in
the recent Rhode Island elec-
tionS, there is another phase
OF the Uoting that is interest

to every vicious impulse of hate
and suspicion-lying, bullying,
cheating, meddling, torturing-
because of love-" Or dong
even more fiendish things
am thinking of visit I once
paid to the Women's ward at
San Quentin. An amazing ex-
perience. Not one woman there
even remotely resembled our
conception of a woman criml-
nal" Quietly demure, most OF
them, dainty in spite Of their
ugly uniforms-and as full OF
friendly chat as any fireside
circle.
Yet those women had COM
mitted atrocities which would
have made any male gorilla
blanch with horror, and every
act, be it forgery, blackmaillng'
robbery, dope peddling, white
slavery, or the most awful cases
of mutilation and murder, had
been done for "love"! Always
there was a man in it, some
Hero for whose adored sake any
vileness was considered justified.
DEFINITION WANTED
And here's the strange part OF
it. Take any hundred citizens
and though they would nani'
mously condemn those acts in
public, it's a safe wager that 80
per cent of them would sympa-
thize and applaud in private.
For that's how most Of us prl-
vately feel-that "anythingS
fair in love-!
Isn't it wonderful" breathed
a sentimental friend, to whom
I had described the San QUEEN
tin incident, ito think that
women are like that-willing to
make any sacrifice accept any
punishment for their men,"
The woman who uttered this
was seemingly intelligent. She
read fine books, belonged to a
good club, attended the best OF
plays and lectures. Yet she
honestly believed that it was
Economically brave and beauti-
full for a woman to kill in de-
Tense of her home" And she
even defended the woman who
allowed herself to be beaten by
a man, or sold herself on the
street at his command!
Love! But is that love? Or
is it a vile and shameful sur
render to all that is darkest in
our natures?
IN SHORT, WHAT PRICE
SUCH LOVE? AND WHAT If

That attitude has been all to
the good for the criminals.
Lacking the social sanctions
of the professions and of bus
mess, law enforcement officers
have too long and too often
been out on the rim, fighting
thugs and thieves as best they
could, until the newspapers
kicked up a scare about crime,
and then, for a while, the cops
would be heroes-soon forgot
ten when the crime wave died
down.
European cities, notably Lon.
don, with its Scotland Yard,
have been far ahead of America
In gearing police, criminologists
and Observation-Disclosures detec-
tlveS into effective machines for
law enforcement, with a stead
lily sustaining and cooperating
public opinion behind them.
This matter of public sane
ton seems extremely important
to this writer. Liquor control in
this country is and always has
been a mess because provincial
attitudes toward liquor and
Furnishing excuses drove into the
saloon business men who were
1nsenSitive to public opinion and
ready to take on dubious, or
villainous, sidelines to meet the
taxes.
Similarly, whatever defects
we may find in our law enforce
ment personnel are the meas
ures of our own careless and
unthinking rating of the men
who risk their lives to guard
our lives and our homes.
ENCOURAGING SIGNS
There are, in the news, signs
that we are turning an i'm.
portant corner here. The in
creaSing liberalization of big
league law enforcement is build
ing in the public mind a differ
ent and decidedly more coopera-
tive attitude toward the police,
detectives and the business of
catching and impounding crimi-
nails in general.

new anti-crime school of the
Department of Justice in Wash
ington recently. Many of the

The President could hold them
responsible for the effective adj
ministration of these agencies.
Such a change would enable
the President to rid himself Of
details with which the holder
of his exalted office should
never concern himself.
It would increase the author
ity and responsibility of the
Cabinet and in turn require
larger talents for its personnel
than can be found in the run
of these official families.
CLOSER CHECK
Such a change would give
Congress a closer check on the
operation of these Independent
Agencies and simplify greatly
the task of passing intelligently
on their legislative require
mentS.
Had President Roosevelt be-
gun his Administration with an
Executive order distributing
these Indepe n d ent Agencies
through the executive depart
ments the record of his Admin
istration would show fewer mis-
takes and more successes In
its first term.
Congress expected the Presl-
dent would institute such an adj
ministrative reform when power
was given him to consolidate
these agencies as he saw lit,
limiting him only in regard to
the abolition of any one OF the
ten executive departments.
But the first years of the Ad-
ministration were spent on other
tasks and last year the author
ity to make these consultations
expired.
This means that the President
must go again to the Congress
to get power to extend to the In
dependent Agencies the super
vision which only a Cabinet Of
ficer can give.
There is another reason why
extending the executive depart
ments to include the Indepen,
dent Agencies would seem to be
a step toward better administra-
ton.
It would relieve the President
of a mass of details on which
his time should never be squan-
dered.

They sentenced Margaret
Valley recently to serve 20 years
in a Federal penitentiary for
helping her husband to kidnap
little George Weyerhaeuser of
Tacoma. Margaret is only 10
years of age. It is not a pleas
ant thing to turn ones back on
life and laughter at 10 and
spend ones youth behind bars
nor a comforting thing to
have brought shame and heart
break on the family one loves.
Yet Margaret Valley did not re-
greet that sentence. To the con-
trary, she desired it-said it
made here "feel nearer" to her
husband, who is serving his time
in Alcatraz.
How I love that n!"-that
was Margaret Valleys only re-
mark when they brought her in
the only reason she gave for
becoming involved in a most
hideous and inhuman crime.
She '1oved" a coward, a weak.
ling, a man whom she knew to
be an ex-con. And that "love,"
in her mind, justified anything
she did. For that she kept
silent while a helpless baby was
horribly abused and a frantic
mother and father suffered un-
Speakable agony.

iouS and countless other racket
GERS when State enforcement
couldn't touch them, and have
made a 100 per cent record in
catching kidnapers and putting
them away.
This writer part cularly
wishes to stress here the fact
that the splendid work which
Mr.. Hoover already has done
with his "G-Men" has induced
a new public attitude toward 'po-
lice work. J. Edgar Hoover, in
his address to the attentive
young rockies, defined the pur-
poses Of the school as follows:
"TO furnish information which
this department has developed
in the last IL years. To learn
from you, in the public forums
which we will have, and to send
forth graduates as missionaries
of good will who will breach
the gap between local and Fed
eral authorities. The cOOpera-
ton in the past has been mag
nificent, but we will need more
and more Of 1t. Feel free to
criticize the school. We have
no corner on the brain market
in the Bureau of investigations"
Louis McHenry Howe, now
one of President RooSeVelt's
right-hand men, put in some
time with the National Crime
Commission few years ago.
He summed up the anti-climax
of the commission by saying
that the trouble with all the
wars against crime was that
nobody knew anything about
crime in America; that Localities
kept no accurate records, that
conflicting State laws contribu-
ted to the general confusion.
Attorney General Cummings
no doubt had something like
this in mind, when, at the
opening of the rookie school he
said:
"There is a great army Of
officers of the law, but 1t Is a
disOrganized army. Let's make
our keynote cooperation, Organi"
zation and the exchange of in
formation"
ON HIGHER PLANE
IT. looks like the vigorous and
intelligent young men at Wash"
ington are making a grand be-
ginning and they will carry it
through if law enforcement re-
mains, in the public mind, on
the higher plane on which it has
been placed. Never have there
been in America public forums
of the kind which Mr.. Hoover
announces.
When crime waves have been
on, there have been public mass
meetings, usually with denuncia-
lions of the public authorities.
But never before has there been
a nationally objective approach
to crime and criminals, their
cause and cure.
We have made laws until the
law mills are glutted with them.
It is a reasonable hope that in.
telligent public participation,
with heightened social under
standing and approval of police
officers, will achieve what grind
ing out laws failed to do.

Tightening the Burden
By James T. Williams, T.

President, calvin Coolidge
proved to be such an able execu.
tive is to be found in his refusal
to fritter away the power of the
Presidency on lesser matters
an example which his successor
in the White House-President
Hoover - appeared unable to
emulate.
In his autobiography, Mr..
Coolidge, discussing some of the
duties Of the President, gave
in the following words some sage
advice to his successors in the
White House:
"In the discharge Of the office
(the Presidency there is one
rule of acting more important
than all others. 1t consists in
never doing anything that some
one else can do for you.
Like many other good rules,
it is proven by its exceptions.
But it indicates a course that
should be very strictly followed
in order to prevent being so en-.

SideratiOn to policies of larger

served in order to secure success.
ut is not sufficient to entrust
details to some one else. They
must be entrusted to some one
who is competent.
"The Presidency is primarily
an executive office. 1t is placed
at the apex of our system of
government.
ut is a place Of last resort
to which all questions are
brought that others have not
been able to answer.
"The ideal way for it to func.
ton is to assign to the various
positions men of sufficient
ability so that they can solve
all the problems that arise
under their Jurisdiction"
COOLIDGE'S VIEW
Mr.. Coolidge felt that the
greatest burden of the Presi-
dency was the making of those
major decisions which only the
President could make. This re-
quired time for thought and
meditation.
When he heard that President
Hoover intended to reorganize
the executive branch of the
Government, Mr.. Coolidge re-
marked that his successor could
best begin by putting the indie
pendent Agencies under the
supervision of the Cabinet.
What Mr.. Hoover failed to do
Mr.. Roosevelt now signifies his
intention of attempting. If he
does he will strike a much
needed blow at the alarming
rise of bureaucracy in the Fed
eral City.

The interest arises because
Byrd, although a Democrat,
has vigorously opposed certain
phases of the Raw Deal.
