Committee Changes
 Precipitate Debates
G. 0. P. Members Reported to Have Left Meeting Last
 Nght-5tl Ward Members Opposed to Change

The rule adopted by the repub- lican party in convention last night, which reduces the membership of the republican town committee from 40 to 20 members, is under stood to have precipitated a heat ed debate within the convention and resulted in several of the op- ponents to the measure leaving the convention with the statement that they intended to line up with the independent republican party now being formed, 1t was learned to-day.
 All of the fifth ward members were opposed to the rule, the chief spokesmen being William Chris tian, Mrs. Gertrude Bowes and Raymond Miller. When the meas. was finally put to vote, the count stood IS to 10. Among those voting against the measure were the rep resentatives from the six districts in the fifth ward and four from other wards.
 It will be recalled that in the reorganizationists took three wards. but failed in the fifth. It will be noticed that the same group put through all of the new rules that were adopted at last nights con- ,vention. These measures meeting with opposition, were carried by the same vote-18 to 10.
 The fact that the measures were not carried unanimously gives indi- cation that other primary battles are in store for the various meet ings in the fall.
 The reason advanced for the re- duction of the town committee membership from 40 to 20 mem- bers is that the lesser number makes the committee less wieldy and that 1t is the same number as is represented on the democratic town committee.
 Other changes provide for the installation of An auxiliary to the town committee. This auxiliary would be made up of district lead CTS and block captains. Another new rule provides for a budgeting and finance committee. Another ar- gument arose during discussion of this sfneasure. The debate arose over whether the chairman of the new committee would have equal power with the town chairman in the disbursing of funds. It was voted, 8 to 10, that the town chair man has sole power to disburse funds.
 Under the new rules, the town

committee membership shall have three from the first ward, four from the second i've from the third, three from the fourth and five from the fifth. It is further provided that in each ward, one member shall be a woman. In re- gard to women members of the committee, Mrs. Bowes was the chief spokesman. She said that women would not be given recog- milton if the membership were cut from 40 to 20. The answer was that 1t was up to the republican voters of each ward to choose their own members.
 During the heated discussion several of those in attendance were reported to have gotten to their feet and made statements raising the question of harmony within the ranks and then left as- serting the new independent group being formed Eould be the best party to belong to.

Various other groups-conspicu ouely the inflationists--intend to urge pet plans as riders to the tax bill when it reaches the senate floor. If Senator Borah had known about the Munitions Committee plan, he might have predicted ad- joirnment in December instead of November.
 The neutrality program intro- duced in three resolutions by Sem ators Nye and Clark, would pro- hibit loans or credits to warning nations, restrict trips by Americans into war zones, prohibit export of munitions to belligerents, and cause all shipments tof commodi- ties to belligerents to be made at the buyers risk.
 State, War and Navy depart mcnts--and even the White House ---seoin to be cold to these meas ures. at this session. Hence their bottled.up status in committee.
 All the Munitions Committee members, recalling the last wars lessons and believing that Euro- pean war clouds are menacing, are willing to take the floor and holler loudly for action at this session. Morgan System Aids Probe
 The House of Morgan has one of the most efficient cross-filing and indexing systems in the world. The Munitions Committee investi- gators, who have been searching the Morgan files for evidence showing how we got into the last war to protect American loans and exports to the Allies, have found occasion for great glee in that.
 original fear that important documents might have been Mys- teriousiy mislaid before or after arrival of the Investigators has diminished considerably. Through numerical and alphabetical code, it tyappears, practically every paper is,linked up with other papers and it would be very difficult to hold anything out.
 That doesn't mean that all the sensational facts being unearthed from the files will ever be publicly revealed. The Morgan firm and the British government, whose fis- cal agent it was while this coun- try was taking the road to war. can exert powerful influence in Washington when their secrets arc irnperiled.

Baseball men, who grant even

Cubs have gone for the past

Perhaps the Cubs will bounce

Yesterday Francis Tate, Anetta
Williams and Daisy Dee, three

into camp on their blue bicycles
having completed the 798-mile
trip from Detroit without mis-

backs which read, "see you at the
Joe Louis and Max Baer fight in
New York" .
When they went into the grill
to have a real good meal, at Joe'S
expense, they parked their bikes
down near the indoor gymnasium.
They were more than interested
when they heard some lusty cheer

There was Joe, with a million-dol,

TIGERS

These figures show the Tiger
infield hitting .305, the Cards
.291, the Cubs .29O and the Giants
only .279. We can forget the
averages and take gander at
the runs batted in which are
more important. What good is a
bird who will hit 400 and drive
in only so runs? Any manager
would rather have the lad who
will drive in a hundred runs even
if he hits only $50.
Bats in 4O7 Runs
Here we note an amazing thing.
The Tiger infield has batted in
a total Of 407 runs, the Cardinals
277, the Cubs 273 and the Giants
only 223. Hank Greenberg alone
has driven in almost as many
runs as the whole Giant infield.
Ball players occasionally. have
played over their heads in a world
series. Hank GoWdy, for instance,
in one series hit over 500 which
certainly was far above his nor
NAL speed. But we can be guided
only by the law of probabilities
and on this basis the Tigers surely
figure to outslug their National
League rival no matter which
one it may be.
Greenberg might hit q mere
.0S6 and Critz noble $50 in the
annual classic, but you wouldn't
care to bet a thin dime on either
proposition.
Extensively, we must hand the
Tigers big edge over any rival.
How about the defense? Wen, as
to that we need only point out
the fact that the Tigers Led their
league in fielding.
However, for short series we
can't hand them any advantage
defensively over either the Giants
or Cubs, but we might fairly
enough rate them above the Car
dinals, because Pepper Martin is
the worst fielding third baseman
in either league, and Frisch no
longer can cover ground as he did
in past series.
Over seven-game stretch we
can save time by rating the first
basemen about even. At second
base the Giants will have a SEN
sational performer if they use
Critz. If they have to depend on
the erratic Koenig for his SUI
perior hitting, we'd have to drop
them below the Tigers. Frisch
might be able to drive himself to
the heights for one or more Sc
rieS, but the chances are against
him. Herman, of the Cubs, and
Gehringer are about a Standotf,
ShOrtStOps Are Good
All four teams are fortified with
great shortStopS and it's lmpoS-
sible to rate one above the other
for short test. All Of them are
smart, cover plenty Of ground and
all have strong, accurate arms.
Hack, Jackson and Owen also
rate about even at third base, but
Martin is liable to throw a ball
into the grandstand any time.
It's steadiness rather than bril-
lance that counts in a world Sc
ries and from this standpoint we
must rate the Cubs and Tigers
on a par with the Giants just be,
hind if Koenig plays second and
the Cards last because Of Martin
and Frisch.
Taking them on all around
strength-speed, hitting and field
ing, we'll have to hand the Tigers
a decided edge over any OF the
others.

against my choice, I wish to
tell you about a sport event
which will be staged in the
name of charity at our ball
park on the very night when
Max and Joe will be ex-
changing punches in the
nose and other pugilistic
compliments appropriate to
the hour.
In that a lot of you will be
unable to be in New York to see
the fight next Tuesday evening,
/ thought perhaps you'd like to
do the next best thing, which, in
my humble belief, would be to go
to Clark Griffith Stadium and
see the donkey baseball game
being staged by committee OF
Washington women for the ben
eft of the milk fund which
gives this very essential food to
needy people of Washington the
year around-and listen to the
fight broadcast come in over
the immense amplifiers at the
stadium-thereby killing two
sport events for the price Of
one SO or ascent admission.
Milk Teams to Play
The employees Of the Chestnut
Farms Chevy Chase Dairy and
the Southern Diaries, with their
four-footed friends. will be the
principals in the donkey game.
insofar as the occasion itself is
concerned, but the real princi-
pals will be the scores of under
fed and underprivileged children
of Washington, regardless OF
color or creed, who will benefit
from the admission which this
Joint attraction will cost those
who wish to boost along a good
cause and hear the fight broad
cast as well.
Perhaps that mystery man
you've never seen, your milk
man, will play in this game,
who knows!
In addition to the donkey
game and the fight broadcast,
variety show will be presented.
The washington Gaslight Band
will play, the Tall Cedars Of
Lebanon will drill and I
shouldn't be surprised if that
master entertainer Of all talent
ever produced in Washington.

The Mrs. Is Chairwoman
I surmiSe this, because among
the good ladies who are sponsor
ing this benevolent event I find
the name of Mrs. O'Connor, as
chairwoman of the committee.
I also observe the names of
Mrs. Kenna Elkins, Mrs. John
Remon, Mrs. Schuyler Helm,
Mrs. Mary Brooks, Mrs. Harry
Somerville, Mrs. William Shan
non and Mrs. Richard Sander
son acting on the committee.
All of these ladies are noted
in Washington for their altru-
istic work in the many walks
of life which require the as
sistance and guidance of a

sports events staged for the
purpose of charity, but here
is one Of the few which I know
to be 100 per cent for charity,
with no expense for overhead
being deducted from what pays
your way through the gate.

are facing a tough winter, in

tute of our city is concerned.
