DC. RELIEF SET-UP
TO REMAIN SAME;
FUNDS RELEASED
125 Employees of Public AS
sistance Unit Terminate
Services.
S625,5OO is AUTHORIZED
FOR PRESENT MONTH
Further Allotments to Be De.
termined by Number of Projects
Under Way.

With the release by the Treasury OF
new Federal funds for the District
Works Progress Administration, Will
liam C. Cleary, deputy administrator
announced today that little or no
change will be made in the present
relief set-up in the District.
At the same time. some 125 en-
ployes of the Public Assistance Divi-
zion of the Board of Public Welfare
terminated their services because no
further allotment was made for direct
relief,
Cleary, who left early today for
Philadelphia for regional conference
of w P. A. directors. said the Ma
tional Office had authorized the expen-
diture of S625, 500 for this month.
This, of course, is not proportion
ate allotment for one month, but
Cleary explained that further allot-
ments are expected and that the sums
will be determined by the number and
nature of projects under way.
125 Projects Under Way.
At present some I25 projects are
under way and 1852 persons. certified
by the Public Assistance Division, are
employed. The total allotment made
is Sl,O32 500. All those presently en-
ployed will be retained unless they
can be returned to private employ
ment.
Projects under way include the new
tuberculosis camp at Bald Eagle Hill,
In Southeast Washington; sewing
rooms for women, whose products go
to other families on w. P. A. work;
construction of sewers, highways,
parks, Fairgrounds; and special teach
ers used in AmericaniZation and adult
education schools.
Meanwhile, with the dismissal Of l25
workers by the Board of Public We'll
fare, Paul Kirby, acting director in
the absence of Elwood Street, has
asked for Civil Service classification
for the 100 persons still employed.
To Administer Security Act.
They will be permanently charged
with administration Of part of the Ma
tional Social Security act, notably old
age pensions, family relief for indi-
gent children, and aid to the blind.
Kirby still was confronted with sbe-
tween 900 and 1000 cases, classed as
border line" between direct relief and
administration Of the law requiring
payments to families with INDECENT
children.
Unless an allotment is made for this
purpose, the Public Assistance Divi-
sion will be forced today to drop all
these cases. No hope was held for fur
ther aid from the Federal Government.

lie Will be tne personal gueSC
of I. S. Turnover, one of Wash
ington's most brilliant chess
lights.
However, Turnover is hopeful
of getting the young Polish
American checkmate wizard to
participate in a simultaneous ex-
hibition at the Jewish Com
munity Center some time this
summer before Reshevsky leaves
for the Nottingham tournament
in England next August.
The local veteran, member
of the tournament committee,
while giving Reshevsky all the
credit that is due him for his
magnificent victory, is of the
opinion that George N. Treys-
man, a native of East Side New
York, would have been the
young Poles strongest rival if
it wasn't for his delicate health.
Treysman played marvelously
during the first part of the tour
nament and gave strong indica-
tionS of succeeding to the toga
discarded by Frank j. Marshall,
but the strain told heavily on
him toward the end and on the
final night he fell before the
driving game Of his New York
rival, Reuben Fine, who tied
him for third honors by virtue
of that win.
In Turover's opinion, the man
whom Reshevsky must fear right
now is Fine. A keen, calm ana.
lyst, Fine never misses an advan.
tage and only the breaks"
which occur among such evenly
matched players as the Is which
participated in the tournament,
robbed him of higher standing.
A match between ReshevSky and
Fine would produce some of the
finest games ever witnessed.
Brilliant though he was during
the tournament, placing one-half
point behind ReShevsky, Albert
c. Simonson. the youngest entry
in the event, is still too young,
says Turnover, to have reached
the peak of his game. His un-
orthodox play, which caught
most of the seasoned performers
by surprise, accounts for his high
standing. However, two years
from now Simonson will be a
tough customer for any foe, in,

true veterans of the diamond, hav-
ing seen more than Is years Of
service.
Bonnie first attracted attention
about IA years ago when he pitched
and played the outfield for the
Warwick Juniors, then one of the
fastest junior mines in town.
Those days he possessed a burn
ing fast ball that had the junior
players swinging at the air. Today
his fast ball is just a memory,
but he doesn't care because he has
given pitching the ''goby" and has
taken up outfielding.
He patrols left field and leads
off for the strong Beermen, who
are tied fo- first in Section A of

Union Printers and Blue Flames.
Each team has won two games
and lost nary a one.
Stahl stepped into the limelight
almost as soon as he started to
play baseball. Huck has been this
city's leading short fielder for the
past IS years, and he's still going
strong. At the plate he is as dan
gerous as a stick of dynamite. His
hits invariably go for extra bases.

Vic Gauzza, the Judge Lands of

"If there's a better catcher on

him to me-"
Though he is not the hitter he
was in his younger days. Colliere
can still send the ball beyond the
outfielderS reach now and then.
About six years ago he batted
around .450. Today he boasts a
.345 average which is nothing to
feel melancholy about.

He is Barney Ross, welterweight

So it was with the Griffs in
their fruitless struggle. Hits made
by the Tigers that should have
been caught went into safe terri
tory. The hardest smash of the
GriffS, and one that might have
changed the current of events, re-
suited in a double play that
snuffed out the last faint chance
of victory.
In the cold type of records, the
score of the second game in this
series with the Tigers, will go
down as 7-to-l in favor of Detroit.
But the cold records will not re-
cord the circumstances of the scor-
ing of those runs, and all the for
tuitouS conditions surrounding
them.
Wind Blows Foul Fly Safe
The breaks began with the very
first inning of the game. After
Clifton had popped out, Cochrane
hit a high foul fly. Now Miles
should have caught the ball, but
he didn't. Wind blown, the leather
dropped on the line to just trickle
into fair territory. Cochrane never
will get a cheaper hit. Two should
have been out instead of having
man on base.
Goslin then got a handle hit to
short right, and scored Cochrane.
Simmons flied out, and the inning
should have been over.
But it wasn't, and two more tai
lies followed when Gerry Walker
got a none too robust hit to
right.
That was bad enough, but more
was to crowd the throbbing min
utes of the fifth inning. Coch
rane pumped a far-flung double
into right field. and Gehringer
then came to the fore with a
blow that went to center for a
two-bagger. An extra base hit it
was simply because Cecil Travis
did not break on the ball, and his
futile dive after the leather cleared
his station helped not in the least
The ball should have been fielded

pop fouls, but Walker and Burns

on the score board.

Tiger victory, but it had another

The bases were loaded with one

of the ball with a smash toward
right, but Charley Gehringer

into a double play.
