Teddy Hughes, Gallaudet'" track

tailed % points in yesterdays

placing first in the 220 yards, 900

GRIST OF THE GR|FFS|
By FRANK "BUcK" o'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

Hadley's roller in the seventh in
ming. If that ball had ever gone
through there's no telling what
might have happened in the con-
test.
With the infield back Larry
could easily have made Sullivan's
seventh inning setup into a double
play. But the luck went sour.
Bolton crashed that ball a mile
a minute in the second inning
and the wind did the rest.
Greenberg's homer over the
score board was a terrific wallop.
Cleared the fence by twenty feet.
The boys think that Sington's
experience with Moriarty will
wake him up and change him into
an aggressive ball player. Maybe
he needed something like that to
start him.

this is race horse territory. Down
out of the Cumberland Hills they
came and from Philadelphia,
Washington and New York but
the Baltimore native was the most
conspicuous. He ought to be, with
five tracks operating in the vicin-
ity.
Vice-President Garner was to
appear for the race, as were Lieu

Connecticut, and Governor Harry
Nice, Of Maryland. Official Wash.
ington also was expected, more or
less in force, and the diplomatic
corps was even to be represented

Proud of Preakness
They're proud of this Preakness,
but they'll begin blithering only
when the time comes. At that it
probably will bet upward of $780,
900 in the machines today.
A mixed gathering is to appear
at the post for the race, there
being four colts, four geldings and
one filly. The Bradley stable is
coming back with Boxthorn, which
ran a mile in the Derby and then
almost refused to finish. It doesn't
seem possible that Bradley can
be that wrong again, but if I
were going to pass up the nat
ural favoriteS, I'd have to string
with Firethorn.
It seems significant, in fact, that
the latter is to be ridden by
Wayne Wright, one of the best
horsemen in America, where for
merly Wright was supposed to go
with Commonwealth. This colt,
by the way, is more or less mixed
up in family wrangles being con.
currently conducted in these
three-year-old stakes. He is the
son of Bostonian. another Freak

sire is Bubbling Over. supposed
to have been a great Bradley

Without much doubt Mrs. Sloan
hasn't quite got the horse. She
finished one-two last year with
High Quest and Cavalcade in the

Bid probably is sentimental M

The rest, including Mantagna,
Further and Brannon, do not

as they stay-for atmosphere.

voiced early this season while
i witnessing one Of Georgetown
Props games. MCGOWAN said:
: "There's the best player on

:, knows how to play the Outfield."
: When the arbiter made these
observations it happened to be

things even more interesting, a
little later in the game Rice
whacked out a home run and
crashed through with a senSa-
tional catch in the outfield.
Hit Mark 500
Rice has hit in the neighbor'
hood of 500 for Georgetown Prep
this spring. This, Of course, Is a
terrific pace to maintain. but Rice
has offered every indication OF
keeping up the good work.
: On the mound the youngster
has turned in two victories in
three starts. Coach Gardner be-
lieves he could become as good a
pitcher as he is an outfielder but
has not encouraged it a great
deal since the lad has so much
more promise as an outfielder be-
cause of his hitting and fielding
qualities.
Rice and his teammates play
sthree games next week, one
against Central Monday, another
against Loyola, Of Baltimore, on

THE REINFORCEMENT OFFICE

We learn that to register with the
district unemployment office, which
is in North Wilkesboro, one must go
in person and attend to the necessary
business of filling out cards, etc.
The object of the unemployment
office is to supply government pro-
jects with laborers who are not able
to get employment otherwise. If this
be true, it is a great hardship and
often an impossibility for Ashe men
who are out of jobs to make the trip
to Wilkesboro that they must make
before they can comply with the rules
for appearing PERSONAL---VERY. register.
While the Wilkesboro office takes
pride in the fact that almost 200 men
have been placed on certain works,
Mr.. Wooten, the head of the office
answers a query from our Hon. Ira
T. Johnston that about ten men from
Ashe have been. placed. In fairness
to Mr.. Woten, Mr.. Johnston says that
he explains that there are no projects
in Ashe on which he can place Ashe
men now.
Something, however, is decidedly
rotten in Denmark when our men
need employment as much as they do
and only ten are employed in an
office where scores of others are
working.
With the coming of spring, it is
to be devoutly hoped that the work
on the parkway will warrant re-
opening of the unemployment office
in this county and that all who are in
need of work may be able to be
placed.

PLANS TO PUT
100000 PERSONS TO WORK
Continued from page one)

A new system is to be established
to iquidate the unemployed and put
most of them to work under a ina
tional chart for the giving of work, !"
he said.
A set of practical principles" were
laid down by the President to govern
the new program. They include useful
work, pay sufficient but not too much
to cause workers to. reject private
employment; preference for projects
not in competition with private en-
terprise and in sections where best
needed.
The work would include clearance
of slums, reforestation of watersheds,
rural identification, expansion of the
CCC, improving roads and elimination
of grade crossings.
Covering field as broad as the
nation itself, President Roosevelt laid
down as legislative aims "the CONSOLE
dation of federal regulatory admin
istration over all forms of transpor-
tation, the renewal and Qualification
Of the general purposes of the nation
al industrial recovery act, the
strengthening of our facilities for the
prevention, detection and treatment
of crime and criminals, the restora-
ton of sound conditions in the public
utilities field through abolition of the
evil features of holding companies,
the gradual tapering off of the emer-
gency credit activities of government
and improvement in our taxation
forms and methods"
Congressman r. L. Doughton, of
this district, had the honor and dis
tinction, as he did two years ago, of
being on the committee that notified
Mr.. Roosevelt that Congress was
ready to receive his message and to
usher him before that notable body.
During his short 34-minute address
which covered almost every phase of
the government, President Roosevelt
made no mention of his attitude to-
ward the bonus question, and it is
understood that he is making every
