tackled his arm and he spent the
deluged hours yesterday with an
electric pad on his shoulder.
Whitehill attaches little impor'
tance to the ailment and says he
will be out for work just as soon
as the weather clears off.
Four Pass Up Stewart
The grief of these worries was
asSuaged somewhat for Griffith
by receipt of four communicates
from American League club own
ers saying that they are not in;
terested in Walter Stewart, the
lefthander who sits apart in Cross
vile, Tenn, sulking in his tent.
Since Stewart says that he is
prepared to stay at home, thus
Joining Mike Donlin and Eddie
Roush as the real holdouts OF
baseball history, before signing
the contract offered to him, mat
terS seem to have come to an i'm
pasSe.
And this, of course, is exactly
what the writer said would hap.
pen when the announcement was
made that Griffith had given per.
mission to Stewart to negotiate
his own trade. Baseball is the
strongest monopoly in the coun-
try, defying all antitrust laws as
it flourishes under code pecu'
liarly its own. Baseball club own
ers live up to their gentleman's
agreement with regard to players
in Stewards position far better
than any other group Of high
powered business men in the
world.
Despite the free-handed gesture
Of Griffith in telling Stewart to go
right ahead in his own behalf,
the player will have to accept the
contract of the Washington club
or remain idle for a year.

ITALIANS FACE
RAD|OMEN IN
SOCCER

Soccer games under Recreation
League auspices tomorrow offer
the best card of the season,
bringing together Sun Radio and
Italian A. C. on No. 2 field at
2:30, Virginia Avenue and Sher-
wood on No. 2 field at l o'clock
and Occoquan and Miller Furni-
ture on No. l field also at /.
The Sun Radio-Italian clash
may be the final regular league
contest of the season. This can
be accomplished by the victory
of Sun Radio, which has already
won the first-half flag. If the
Italians should win, however, it
will give them top place on the
second-haf calendar and will
necessitate a deciding game for
the league championship, which
will be played March II.
Evenly Matched
Both the earlier games Sun
day are in the first round of the
consolation trophy, confined to
the four lower bracket elevens
which have not forfeited any
games this season. From results
during the schedule, any of the
quartet may win the competition,
so evenly are they matched, but
Virginia Avenue and Miller Furni-
ture appear to be favorites for
the final.

Mrs Simpson apparently had begun
an endless war with her husband

Judge Hungate said no evidence
other than Mrs. Simpsons own testi-
mony had been presented to show she
was fitted to care for the girl, either
mentally or financially.
He cited the findings of DR.. Moss,

Fall that Mrs. Simpson was mentally
unbalanced.

LONDON, April LAP.-The first
formal move to weigh the complete
results of the European tours of Sir
John Simon and Anthony Eden and
to define more definitely the British
program at the Stresa Conference will
be made Monday.
1t was intimated that Britain's
major job at Stresa will be to try to
keep Frances condemnation OF Ger
man rearmament from wrecking the
work of the two British statesmen on
the continent. 1t was feared that too
tension which Simon and Eden have
sought to relieve.
Eden. who is taking a week end
rest at his London home pending a
full cabinet meeting which will hear
his report, already has sketched it out
in general form to the foreign secre-
tary and other officials.
The British delegation to the Stresa
conference will include Sir John, Eden
and possibly Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald. They will leave We'd
nesday, armed with a general outline
for an attack opening up channels
toward the future peace of Europe.
but it was understood that neither the
British nor other delegations will be
prepared with formal agenda.
The Stresa conference will begin
with Britain presenting a report on
the results of her diplomats tours of
Europe. following which it was antici-
pated that each country would pro-
duce its own proposals in order to
establish how the three powers are
Jointly to proceed with efforts to in

RATING S|MPL|F|ED
BY CIVIL SERVICE
New Efficiency System to Be
Used in May
TESTS"
The often-criticized efficiency rating

The often-criticized efficiency rating
system by which Government en-
ployes have been graded for promo
tions and dismissals in the past de-
cade, was abandoned today by the
Civil Service Commission, which di-
nounced new method had been di-
vised after long study and would be
employed when the annual ratings are
made May Is
The new plan. broadly. does away
with the fine mathematical distinction
going down to hundredths of a point,
and arrived at by complicated calcu-
lation and instead evaluates the serv-
ice eof the employe in such terms as
excellent, very good" good" fair"
and unsatisfactory"
In this connection. it is intended.
too, that hereafter supervisory officers
will lay more emphasis on correcting
shortcomings of members of their
stats in a general effort to raise the
quality of their work.
Weight Tab.e Out.
Another beneficial aspect of the new
plan is that rating officers now actu-
ally will control ratings-subject. of
course, to action by the reviewing Off
cer-as it does away with the weight"
table which in the past has deter
mined efficiency marks. Under the
old scheme, rating officer was pro-
ceeding in the dark as he did not
know what weight would be given to
the service factors on which he had
marked the employe.
At the same time, however, the en-
ploye is safeguarded against discrim-
ination, it is declared, because on
each rating sheet the rating officer
is required to support the rating given
by analyzing the character of the
work which led to the evaluation set
down.
In arriving at the rating, the Off
Ger considers three major factors
quality of performance, productive
ness and qualification shown on the
job. Under each of these headings
are a number of subdivisions which
permit of more detailed analysis of
the character of the service performed.
In this connection. a simple point
SCOi HlS SySbSHl ID uScO WHICH permits
further differentiation between two
employees who have the same general
rating.
Point-Scoring System.
This point-scoring system is in
verse ratio: l to for excellent; 8
to 4, very good; to 6. good; z to 8,
fair; 9 to 10, unsatisfactory. The
highest mark possible for an en-
ploye, therefore. on the three major
factors is 3. and anywhere to is
excellent, from to 13 is very good,
IA to 10 good, 20 to "a fair, and IS to
80 unsatisfactory.
Employees rated excellent or very
good are promotable in grade if below
