INTEREST STIRRED HERE.
Statement Is Attributed to RoOsevelt's
Son in Query.

Son in Query.
By the Associated Press.
A dispatch from Massachusetts, de-
claring James Roosevelt had said his
father, President Roosevelt, intends to
seek a constitutional amendment per-
petuating N. r. AS principles stirred
interest today.
The younger Roosevelt, after ad-
dressing Democratic rally at Gardner,
Mass, last night answered some ques-
tions from the floor. The Worcester
Telegram quoted him as saying in
response to one query:
IF the N. r. A. had not been
knocked out, We would not have had
as much unemployment. The way to
correct this is to shorten the hours OF
labor.
Will Seek Amendment.
"In order to accomplish this, the
President intends to continue the
principles of the N. r. A. by going
before the people and seeking an
amendment TO the Constitution to
make the principles of N. r. A. the
law of the land
The capital waited with interest
today to see whether this pronounce
ment reflected the official views of
President Roosevelt. There has been
no announcement from the latter that
the New Deal has made up its mind
to press for a constitutional amend
ment, though he has made plain on
several occasions that he considers the
invalidation of the codes by the Su-
preme Court detrimental to economic
progress.
For some time after N r. A. and
other New Deal legislation was wiped
out by the high tribunal there wSs
speculation as to whether the ad-
ministration would seek to amend the
Constitution.
Amendment Not in Platform.
When the Democratic 1886 platform
was made public at Philadelphia it
was found to contain no outright,
unqualified call for an amendment.
1t said the Democrats would seek to
handle such problems as minimum
wages, maximum hours, child labor
and monopolistic and unfair business
practices through legislation within
the Constitution.
IF these problems cannot be effec-
lively solved by legislation within the
Constitution, We shall seek such
clarifying amendments as will assure
to the Legislatures of the several States
and the Congress of the United States.
each within its proper jurisdiction, the
power to enact those laws which the
State and Federal Legislatures, within
their respective spheres, shall find
necessary in order adequately to reg
ulate commerce. protect public health
and safety and safeguard economic
security" the platform said.
Constitution Role Not Major.
The Constitution has not played
such major role in the campaign
to date as some observers predicted,
though both nominees have referred
to it.
In his acceptance speech, Mr.. Roose-
velt said charges that the New Deal
seeks to overthrow American institu-
tions come from economic royalists"
trying to preserve their power by
hiding behind the flag and Con-
stitution."
This week, Gov. Landon challenged
Mr.. Roosevelt to say Immediately
what amendments he has in mind.
The Governor said the fundamental
issue is whether Mr.. Roosevelt Gin
tends to change the form of our Gov
ernment-whether labor, agriculture
and business are to be directed and
managed by Government, directed and
managed by politics"

The Cronin Fish Merchants, win- ners of the first round, are due to capture the last place in this round. They took 1t on the nose twice this week from Barney Gagain's Plum bers. Captain Barney Gagain and his side kick, Eddie Coughin, the big pencil pusher, did most of the heavy work for the Plumbers. George sloss and Tommy Gunshan- an were the big chesterstickersout for the Fishmen.
 My old pal, George Miller and his Handshakers lost two games to Edmond Greetings & salutations" Mcf1ale's Clerks. This was the first time Georges boys lost two in Q long time. Ray Adduci, Ed MclIale, Barney Henry and good old George Bolaia were knocking everything in had little trouble in taking these two encounters. George Miller and Jimmy McManamy, the two old time hack drivers, stood out for the sight down and these famous Clerks defeated warriors. f,. f
 Fred Mischous Orangeade Lovers kept in the race, by knocking of Joe Delaney's Earbenders in two tussles. One game was all the Ear benders could grab, although their star bowler, Alderman Ed Fitzger- aid, had been just sworn into office. Good luck, Ed, from all the boys. But of course we don't mean bow ling. Mike 0aluppo, Joe Silent" Castonguay, Jimmy "Tiny" Officer and Dennis Me Boy" Hickey were in all their glory, staring for the Lovers. Charley "Palooka" Keeley, Ed Fitzgerald, Joe Delaney and Fred Rappelt had some very good scores for the losers but they lost Q couple of very close games.
 Tommy 0unshanan had high single with 130. Ray Adduci took high three honors hitting 333. .. Paul Cronin's Fishmen led the teams with 650 and 150S ...

 Boston, Jan. 0-(UP)-Jimrny Foxx had joined the circle of top- salaried baseball performers today on the basis of Q new $2S,000 corl- tract rendered him py the Boston Red Sox.
 The slugging first baseman signed the new agreement at Q conference with President Tom Yawkely and General Manager Eddie Collins in New York yesterday. Collins said merely that 1t was larger" than Jimmy's old contract. It was learned reliably, however, that Foxx will rec ceive S26,0O0 for 19S6, some $7,00O more than he would have received had his three-year contract with the Philadelphia Athletics remained in effect.
 Good Business
 On the surface, the new contract seemed just another evidence of Yawkey's generosity but actually the Red Sox may save themselves money by paying Foxx Q flat figure. Collinls was quoted here as saying that Jimrnys contract with Connie Mack had Q percentage of receipts clause, which mightn't net him much in Philadelphia but might bring him c tidy surplus in the Hub. It was Foxx, however, who sought the wage ad- justment, feeling that he ought to be compensated for lors os radio contract he had in Philadelphia.
 Foxx's new contract p.t..N,, .....l on the heels of Manager Joe Cronin of the Red sox an darnong the five top paid players in the major leagues.
 Only Cronin, Bill Terry of the New York Giants, Frankie Frisch of the St. Louis Cardinals, end Mickey Cochrane of the championship Oe- troit Tigers, all of whom double as player-managers, now top Foxx in salary. Jimmy is now several thou sands up on First Basenlan Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees, his rival for home run laurels, and on Dizzy Dean, Cardinals pitcher.
 Money Players
 Besides having the costliest col- lection of ball players, an assort- inent costing him at least a million dollars over the past three seasons, Yawkey now has the highest paid group of stars in baseball.
 Joe Cronin, 1t is understood, re- ceives $S0,000 annually under @ Ave year contract. He cost Yawkey $250,000.
 Foxx, who with three Philadelphia mates cost Yawkey $S5o,000, gets 5000.
 Yves Terrell and Bob (Lefty) Grove, who led the league, respec- lively, In most games won and best earned run percentage Q year ago, have been given new contracts call. ing for $20,O00 each for 1936, 1t is reported. Grove cost Yawkey $l26,- 900. Terrell signed his new contract Q day after the close of the 19S6 season.

Driscolls Avalanche" certainly had a field day with Sid Bride. Rroom-to. Dunphy's outfit. They set back Sid two games and only had two games under Q 100 in their scores. How Dunphy's "Tired Men" ever won one game is still Q mys- tery, but when the scores Of the second game were added, the "Tired Men" were in Front by Il pins. The Driscoilmen are, certain ly hitting them, $50 is small pota. toes. Maybe It's Mikes new bowling shoes. Well, take Q look at Mikes hoofs. and that may explain why he had two double strikes during the night. About the Bride groom -to-be". According to advices the nardworking Sid will join the ranks of the benedicts sometime in March. Congratulations "Cy". May be that's why he hit S34.
 The scandal of tho evening. When James Y. BarrettS Ave men got beat two games by two men on Rev. Wirkus' team 1t showed what could be done with three ave- rages. Now if the Messers Sulli. van, Corden, and Colombo show up maybe the team will get sonae- where. Or are they less than S7 bOwlers, tsls, tsk. Now of course, we realize Barretts trouble. With four handsome young men on the team and . gang of fair damsels walk into the alleys, it's almost ini- possible to bowl. Ask Gillis and
 Gclbogls.
 what was the trouble with the Higgiston machine? Higgy, him- self, looked as if he had come in through the keyhole and not the door. He made himself leadoff man and promoted Johnny Gudonis to anchor man. With Higgy tossing them in the gutter and Johnny be- ing an anchor in every sense q the word, the team for his eve- nings work for the Loftus crew. It seems that Eddies team is coming right along lately and should bear . little watching.

 SUGGESTED AS AID TO SPORTS
Sixty Favor PrO.Amateur Tourney Football Goal
 Post Should Be Moved

 New York, Jan. 0--An open tennis tournament in which professionals and amateurs could compete !
 Move the goal posts back to their original place on the goal-line--
 And permit forward passing from any poit behind the line of scrim- mage. N
 These are the three important rule changes American sport needs today, in the opinion of . majority of the country's,sports editors.
 Of i8 who answered the ques- tion Gan you suggest any changes in rules of sport which would iEn- prove @ game" co were of the opin- ion that an open tennis tourna- fnent Is most desirable. Fifty.one suggested tn echange in goal-posts and ~ declared the gridiron game would be aided by alteration Of the passing rule.
 Real Test
 The open tennis tournament, drowned upon by American lawn tennis officials, would, many editors said, settle once and for oil the question of whether professional or amateur stars are better.
 "An open tournament would draw Q, fortune at Forest Hills or Vim bleton," one editor said. "The tourn- ament could be conducted along the lines of the open golf cham plonship, with. the pros receiving cash awards and the amateurs ob- taining thophies."
 Another said 1t would give the amatuers e chance to improve their game, which would help produce 0 better Davis GU ptearn."
 Many minor football changes were suggested, but the one most desired is return of the goal posts. The posts were put 10 yards behind the linS several years ago to give the defending team more room for 0 goal l-line stand and to reduce the possibility of players being injured by crashing into the posts.
 Good Idea
 NIlG .GuAtU6 cOAVC& bVbsA PeVNsSsss@ very neatly when he said: "The posts can be advanced by extending the cross bar to the goal line and leaving the uprights 10 yards back"
 Many writers believed that inas- much as forward and lateral pass ing has become Q major offensive weap~n, the rules committee shoudd permit passing from any point be- hin the line of scrirnmage.
 Professional football is Q far bet ter game to watch than intercol- legiate," one writer said, because O man can pass from wherever he choses. This speeds up the game and makes 1t more interesting Tor the spectator"
 Seven editors recommended that basketball be opened up by elimi- netting the center jump and three. second rule. Seve nsuggested that ice hockey boals be widened to per- init more scoring.
 Four recommended that the de- lending team in football be per- mitted to run with Q recovered tumble.
