This guarantee of territorial
rights has been rigidly enforced
by the National Association of
Professional Baseball Leagues. II
it were not for the protection to
smaller clubs guaranteed by the
agreement. chaos would rule in
baseball.
Detroit Expands
Take for example the case OF
Detroit. Back in 1900 Ban John
son, founder and builder of the
American League, put the Tigers
out there when the Motor City
had a population of less than
100000. Now there are more than
1900, 900 residents in the Michi
gan metropolis.
From time to time suggestions
have been made to move a Ma
tional League club into Detroit
This never will be done while the
present agreements hold in base
ball. Frank j. Navin never would
agree to any National League
club playing in Detroit any more
than the owners of the Pitts,
burgh Pirates would let an Amer.
ican League team come into
Forbes Field.
There has been chatter Of the
st. Louis Browns going to Mil
waukee. Now Milwaukee is a city
of nearly 100000 souls, and al
though st. Louis is one of the
first ten cities in population and
geographical Importance, it never
has been really able to support
two major league teams. Th is
probably is true for the reason
that the Cards and Browns rare
ly have been in the fight in the
same season. There was nothing
wrong with the Browns in 20
when they almost won a pen
nant.
Would Invoke Rule
The American Association would
invoke the rule on circuits in the
event that the Browns or any
other club attempted to invade
it's territory.
Improved methods of transit
and the narrowing of geographic
cal boundaries by the airplane
add color and substance to the
contention that the major leagues
would do we'll to revise their cir
cults and give fan interest a real
blood TRANSMISSION. But while hu-
man beings control the baseball
clubs throughout the country
humans in whom are found the
emotions of greed, envy and
avarice-we are not going to walk
into the Millennium as easily as
baseball doctors think we will.
And so we skip from baseball
over to Capitol Hill for few
minutes for a review of the testi-
monial luncheon given to Dick
Harlow, Harvard coach, by Repre-
sentative Hamilton Fish, of New
York. We heard the boys say
many fine things of Dick, and
heard Dick say many fine things
of Harvard. But it was a discon-
certing luncheon, however fine
the quality of food served and
the distinguished character Of the
guests assembled.
That's Congress Life
The bill to appropriate $4,o00,,
100000 for this and that was on
the floor. Messengers scurried in
and out. Representatives rushed
out to answer roll calls and then
rushed back to eat their meals.
This thoroughly untutored diner

dough was coming from, and if
We could get any for souvenirs,

JIM BROWNING

deavor to defeat Jim Browning
with his own weapon "a leg scis-
sors) at the Washington Audi
torium tonight loomed as a like

attention mainly upon wrestling's

That expression may or may
not be a consoling thought to
Mr.. Griffith who is where a lot
of us would like to be-in dear
old Miami-becauSe it seems to
me that if the man who hauls
away your ashes Joined the
Washington pitching staff and
enjoyed a good season, he too
would be a distinct addition to
the staff which faltered through
last year.
A Rare Old Remembrance
If Griff is going in for ex.
perience and background, he got
what he sought in Hadley who
makes a fitting pattern for the
antiquated design interspersed
with such thirty-four-year-old
mosaics as Earl Whitehill and
Walker Stewart. Hadley is past
thirty which makes him meet
the measurements of those who
like 'em not too old, yet not too
young.
If Bump Hadley has outlived
two complexeS, or perhaps
three, he can be a great deal Of
help to Washington.
First: He must have gotten
over that five-inning-a-game
idea that he seemed to possess
when formerly here. (Some of
Hadley's work since leaving
here indicates he recognizes
those union nine-inning games) {.
Second: He must not become
frantic if a runner happens to
reach second base. CHATS what
the bag was put there forO
Third: He must control his
culinary habits to the point
where he doesn't have to wear
q girdle to conceal his true
figure. (Griff says Bump is
off ten pounds over the weight
he used to make hereO
Not Bad Medicine
I don't think in the above pre-
scription there is an impossible
requirement.
AS to the departure of Luke
Sewell, the softest summation
that can be made is that If
Griff thought he got something
in Hadley he naturally thought
he was giving something for
him other than a paltry $780,
600, which, after all. you know.
is shavings to a man who just
inherited a quarter of million.
Sewell HAS BEEN a grand
ball player. That is the only
kind the name of Sewell ever
implied.
Bruises Very Easily
But at SO years Of age,
Sewell has become what might
most kindly be called fragile.
You never know which game is
going to be his last. He chips
juSt that easily.
The handwriting is on the
wall for Cliff Bolton, now
doomed to do 80 per cent of
the catching for Washington,
starting April 16, next. And
don't let it enter your head
that Cliff won't be up to the
task.
Besides a world of confidence
In his own ability, Bolton will

Had Harris dared make a try

Well, that's fine, but it can't be done with
out rewriting the constitution of the National

retain the schedule of the league, and there,
too, is the major-minor league agreement on

BLOND STANDARD
OF BEAUTY RATED
ABOVE BRUNETTE

The beauty standard of the blonde
Is higher than that of the brunette,
according to DR.. Charles F. Pabst,
chief dermatologist of the Green
point hospital, Brooklyn.
1.-THE olive skin of a brunette is
not easily married by a mild inflam.
nation or small eruption" he said,
"but the slightest irritation or blem.
ish Is quickly noticed on the fair
skin of blonde, due to her color
Ing, which accentuates any skin dis
order. Therefore, the beauty stand
ard of blonde Is higher than that
of a brunette"
Discussing the relationship be-
tween a persons skin and person
atty, Doctor Pabst said that
peaches and cream complexion is
seldom a blessing" and that acne.
or pimples, us natures check-rein
on the spirit of unbridled youth"
1.-THE texture of the skin Is chiefly
dependent upon the age of the In
dividual. The school girl complex
ion belongs only to the school girl.
1t Is as foolish for the matron to
attempt to regain her girlhood
skin as to reappear in pigtails and
pinafore. The flushed appearance
of the peaches and cream complex
lon is only too often the sign Of the
beginning of an inflammation of the
skin, or the blush-not of sweet six
teen-but of a feverish condition.
"Seventy-five per cent Of the cases
of acne occur between the ages Of
fifteen and twenty-five. 1t is truly
the bane of youth, and young people
afflicted with pimples deserve SYM
pathy, for they suffer great humilia-
ton and embarrassment.
1T seems strange that a dishgur-
ing eruption like acne should appear
at the time Of life when the personal
appearance means so much. Perhaps
1t is natures check-rein on unbridled
youth-an injunction handed down
by nature, restraining vain youth from
too frequently overstepping the
bounds of convention"

Earliest Game Laws

The earliest game laws in America
probably were the hunting privileges
granted in 1929 by the West India Co.
to persons starting colonies In New
Netherlands New York;, and the pro-
visions regarding the right Of hunting
in the Massachusetts Bay Colonial
Ordinance of 1647 and the New Jer-
sew Concessions Agreement Of 1878. The
first federal game law was passed In
1882 and is the oldest one on the stat
ute books. 1t was in force until the
admission Of Oklahoma as state In
1907. It prohibited the capture Of
game In the Indian territory by any
persons other than Indians, except for
ubsistence.-New York World-Tele-
