the huge appropriation was limited
to three hours and amendment priv

Reilly (Dem.. Wis., stood alone In
voting with the administration.
The opposition to the rule came
not only from the insurgent third

and Democrats alike. In the Wiscon-

progressives in voting against the rule

voting.

Voted mo-"
For the first time this session, the
various progressive elements Of the
house sat together in q single meet
ing. The rule and the resolution
were responsible. They resolved
early in the date to draft q vigorous
Statements sort Of declaration OF
independence, they said-setting forth
why they opposed gags" and regis
tering their belief that the 81, ,880, ,O00,-
600 figure was inadequate. Later devel-
opments, including the revolt within
the majority party ranks, however
moved the group to agree informally
to withhold its bill Of rights until
q later occasion.
Fight Over Wage Proposed
Meanwhile, fight over wages the
government proposes to pay $500, ,O00
persons for relief work threatened.
A cry Of "scab wages" came from
Rep. Connery D-Masso, chairman Of
the house labor committee, as he at
tackled q proposal to pay an average
Of $50 q month. He served notice he
would offer an amendment to force
the payment Of wages prevailing In
various localities.
In administration quarters, the plans
were defended as aiming at security
pay which would provide living for
the destitute. President Roosevelt
had said the pay should be higher
than the dole but not large enough
to discourage workers from taking
private employment.

their first series with the Yankees
this year. Bob Burke, stringbean
southpaw, will start the hurting for
the Washington crew in the initial
encounter with Joe McCarthy's
uncertainties.
Some comeback the Nationals
have staged since taking those three
lickings from the Red Sox in
Griffith Stadium. Four victories in
five games have them all on their
toes.
Those Boston fans were fairer to
Joe Cronin today. Where there
were many jeers yesterday, there
were throngs Of cheerers at the
weekend setto. Joe has the break
coming to him. He is not to blame
for the clash of the talent he has
at his command. At that Cronin
has socked the Washington slab
men for a fine average In the five
games he has faced them. Against
the Nationals, Joe has hit for
cool .421. And his eight hits have
included two doubles and as many
triples.
Werber cheered the home crowd
with a sparkling catch in the first
round. He tore to the Washington
dugout and dashed down two or
three steps to spear Kuhel's foul.
It was a nervy bit Of work by the
Berwyn boy.

Looks as if Bucky Harris wasn't
making the wish father of the

he remarked that the Nationals
were due to take the Red Sox in
the series here. One to 60 today
and the Capital Club will have a
sweep of the set, just as Cronin
and his cohorts succeeded in Wash
ington.
Harris has been experimenting
with his batting order and his
pitching, too, since quitting the
home lot. Thus far his judgment
has proved sound. Travis, lowered
from the second to the fifth place
in the batting order today, banged
three hits. And Stone, lifted from
sixth to second in the list, got
three. And in picking Petit to
relieve Linke, the manager made
great selection.
Advance sales indicated an at
tendance Of at least $4,000 at

Get Even With WEIGH.

THE Washington hitting was done
off Jack Welch, highlander, who
WHO only the week before had blanked
the Nationals with four hits on their
home lot, and Fritz Ostermueller, who
last year was a thorn in the sides
of the Capital clubmen then led by
the present Red Sox pilot.
WEIGH went seven innings to be hit
in all excepting one and to be beaten
before the game was four innings old.
Eight safe rapS in the first three
rounds sent him to defeat. In each
of the last two innings Ostermueller
managed to get two batters out of the
way before the Nationals found the
plate.
Again the Red Sox were sloppy
afield. Four errors were charged
against them and every one figured in
the run making done by the Nationals
Linke, starting game for the first
time this year, was hit freely in his
short term on the hill. In each of the
first two frames the Nationals staked
the rotund right-hander to lead, but
promptly he blew his advantages.
When Mel Almada opened the fourth
with a double driven down the right
field line. Manager Harris hustled
Petit to the warm-up pen, and after
Babe Dahlgren, the Boston rookie, had
rolled out, the Washington portsider
was ordered to the hill to take care of
the left-hand swingers due to bat for
the Red Sox.

tionals made it two straight
over the Cronin-led band today by
banging out an 8-to-3 victory before
Fenway Parks weekend crowd of
more than $4,000.
Seventeen safeties ratified off the
bats welded by the Harris hands, the
greatest display of hitting power made
by the Washington Club in this young
campaign.
Heinie ManuSh with four singles to
show for his six trips to the plate
led the onslaught in which every one
of the Nationals in action, excepting
Leon Petit, participated.
But there was enough glory for
Petit in the scoring of his first major
league victory. The spare southpaw
brought up from the Chatta- oga
farm only this year relieved the un-
steady Eddie Linke in the fourth in
ming when the Nationals were only
run to the good and hurled smartly
to the finish.
Only two of the eight hits recorded
by the Red Sox were made at the left
handlers expense and one of these
hits was exceedingly scratchy. He
pitched to only a score of batters in
his five and two-thirds innings on the
hill. Two passes were given by Petit

Princeton's revamped varsity
~ eight, stroking smoothly and
easily as it led throughout,
gained its third consecutive Compton
Cup regatta victory today by leading
Harvard by a length and a quarter
and NJ I. T. by twice that margin
over the Charles Rivers new mile and
three-quarters rowing course.
At no time did Larry Fenninger, the
Tigers starboard pace-setter, call for
anything higher than comfortable
36-beat. Most of Princeton's victor
ious journey, however. was made at
a much slower pace. Many times the
Tigers were clocked at 80 as they
pulled away steadily from their two
rivals, who were dipping oars much
faster.
The winning varsity time was
9:22 3-5. which probably indicated
that the current was much stronger
along the new stretch, which crosses
the river at an angle, than on the
old straight-away route, which had
record of just under 9 minutes for
the mile and three quarters.

K There's a new feud in the

Petit, Griff southpaw
slabman and Bill Werber, Wash
ington high school product third
basing for the Red Sox, are at
daggers' points.
It all started today as the Harris
hands took the measure of the
Cronin crew.
It was in the fifth inning Of
the game. Werber was leading
off and Petit, who had relieved
Eddie Linke only the inning be-
fore, threw a third strike past
Bill. The batter didn't believe
Umpire Dineen, but of course lost
the argument.

stiff Werber said) when get up
here the next time I'll pin your
ears back" Werber angrily yelled
to the pitcher.
The next time was in the
seventh inning. And Werber swung
for a third strike to end the
round.
where's that pin you were
going to use on my ears?" was
Pettit's jeering query.
It took Umpire Dineen and Man
ager Cronin to prevent further
passage at words or else.
Up came Werber again in the
ninth. Two were out and a Red
Sox runner on second. Again Bill
swung for the third strike.
