Women Winning in Race For

Office Holders Proving by Abilities That Old Pedt Were Wuns

Phoebe H. Omlie is on the Advisory Board of the
Aeronautic Division of the Department of Com

\ IRIS. ROSS grew enthusiastic as she recalled
wi the posts filled by women. "The eyes of the
public many of us now holding first posi-

tremendous responsibility Their records will best
prove the wisdom of their appointments We have
our first woman Minister in Mrs. Ruth Bryan
Owen, whose services in Denmark are lauded both
here and abroad. And we have our first woman
Cabinet Officer in Miss Frances Perkins.

mention of women Judges There is Judge

course. But neither all men able Women will

"Ah-there the real herones of public serv-

day out-often at sacrifice of personal health
unsung and apparently unappreciated"
A last we to the women in Congress. Il
Nthink Congress- remarked Mrs. Ross, ''is an
avenue of service which is inviting to women and
for which many of them qualified look for
an increased number in that work However, ab-
solutely refuse to agree that women have special
Job there. They have the work that the men
have-progress toward better national state of
being have little patience with the thought that
there should be more feminine support of so-called
welfare measures.
Then she made this startling comment T would
rather see women work toward place where these
special social measures would become unnecessary.
| want them to work for sound financial policy,
for sound tariff procedure, for adequate agri-
cultural program-in word, for sound economics.
If they do that then the special social legislation
would not be needed do not mean, of course, that
should not have constructive measures like the
Social Security Law, and others that are similar in
scope"
Mrs. Ross spoke only briefly of herself. She said
she couldn't say which of her jobs she had enjoyed
the most. II do know that ever since l came into
public service have had increasing love for it,"
she said. 81 have never felt that as woman
should address myself only to women. But sup
pose that is strange remark to make at the end
of this long conversation devoted to my sex!'

Then the Skipper come up. After slow look
around whilst the lghtnn was a-fashin', he turns
to the Mate an says, says he, She'll stand it,
Mister An so we didn't abandon ship that night.
When daylight come, we looked oversize and see
half dozen bottom planks pried out an jammed
amongst the rocks "The bottoms tore clean out of
her." yells the Mate.
$50 it seems" says the Skipper. "Now, Mister,
get the yards braced around, and we'll see if this
risn tide won't get us Off"
But if we get off the reef we'll go down like
stone, Sir" says the Mate respectful but anxious.
"You forget Mister" says the Skipper, that
we're loaded solid with railroad ties. She don't
need no bottom to fetch Hangchow."
There's them that sees sorry end for this
country because of the fix she's in. But don't

AA/OMAN'S place in the national government at
w Washington D. c., and throughout the ma
lion is growing rapidly-and men soon will realize
hat their abilities entitle them to more con-
sideration when important posts are being filled.
That, in brief, is the opinion of Nellie Tayloe
Ross, Western woman, and first of her sex to be
appointed director of the Mint of the United States
Mrs. Ross looks astonishingly youthful for one
who has acquired SO many honors-the Governor
ship of Wyoming, vice chairmanship of the Demo-
cratic National Committee and her present high
post. She flashed bright smile when l asked her
to express herself the subject of the Importance
of women in Washington.
81 am sure that the constantly increasing num-
Der of women in public service, not only in Wash
ington but all over the country, justfes their
appointments and appauds their ability, she said.
A FTER assuring me that she did not want to be
- construed waving the flag of partsanship
in her estimate of women in government service,
Mrs Ross continued: 81 believe that it is note
worthy that under the present regime there
more women in responsible positions than ever be-
fore have long had a feeling that if women were
permitted to demonstrate their capacity for work
of this kind they would get the jobs they deserve
to have.'
Mrs. Ross paused as though to give thought to
the many years of womans struggle for equality.
Then she said: "It is good to know that we have
several women right here in the Treasury Depart
ment who do highly technical work. and do it well.
You should mention Miss Josephine Roche, the AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, who is head of

EIGHT 1887 GAMES
FOR TIGER eleven
Virginia Is One of Two New
Teams-Penn Contest Will
Lapse Until 1888.

pRINCETON, N. j., April 8.-The
Princeton and Pennsylvania foot
ball teams will not meet in 1887, it was
announced by Asa S. Bushnell, gradu-
ate manager of Princeton athletics,
who disclosed the eight-game schedule
laid out for the Tigers.
The universities, which renewed
foot ball relations in 1886 after AZ
year lapse, could not find date which
was mutually agreeable in 1887. Bush
nell said, but they agreed to meet on
October IS, 1888, in Palmer Stadium.
Two newcomers appear on the 1887
schedule, the Universities Of Chicago
and Virginia. Williams is omitted for
1887 but appears on the 1888 list.
The Chicago game, which will be the
fifth between the two universities, re-
calls the fact that Fritz Crisler. Prince
ton coach, played in the first game OF
the series in Palmer Stadium in 1921
and helped Chicago win, 9 to o.
The Virginia game will be the re-
sumption of an old relationship which
started in 1890, when Princeton won
lis to o. The universities played a
scoreless tie in 1928.
The sixty-first game Of the Yale
series, the thirty third of the Harvard
series and the nineteenth of the Dart
mouth series are also listed.
The schedule:
October 2, Virginia; 9, Cornell; 16,
Chicago at Chicago; %, Rutgers; 80,
Harvard.
November 6, Dartmouth; l3, Yale at
New Haven; 20, Navy.

Bucky had the heart-whatta heart,
too. He was the gamest guy I ever
saw on the ball field and he was
pretty close to being one Of the best
second basemen of all time"
Mr. Engel paused a moment to throw
out his chest, which has slipped down

Paul Strand.
Strand was playing for Salt Lake
City and batting 1894 in 1928. Only he
wasn't just hitting 1874 when Griff
sent me out to look at him. Gosh, his
average must have been 420 or .430.
But I took look at him and left.
I didn't think he'd do. Griff sent me
back to Salt Lake City four times with
orders to buy the guy for $4,000. An
every time I went back I found I
couldn't do it. Finally Connie Mack
grabbed Strand for $4,000 and he
turned out to be flop"

Red SOx Success

ONE of the main arguments
among ball players now in the
South concerns Boston's Red Sox.
How will they play together as a
team? That seems to be the doubt

staff
They will be a tough team for
any pitcher to face, but, even with
Ferrell and Grove. they have yet
to show the proved pitching
strength of Detroit and Cleveland.
However, Connie Mack thinks
they can win, and Connie doesn't

TNCLE CLARK GRIFFITH, who
as far back as last Summer
was insisting that his 1886
Nationals would be built upon
the best crop of young performers in
base ball. now seems to have proved
his point until, at least, official major
league averages show differently.
This, it seems to me. calls for a lit
tie hat tipping in the direction of
one, Joseph Engel of Chattanooga, al
though it was Bucky Harris and Griff
who swung the trade of Hadley and
Roy johnson for Hill and DeShong.
and it was Poppy Joe Cambria who
bestowed upon the Washington ball
club such potential gems as Roberto
Estalella and Joe Bokina.
But Engel was the guy who con-
tributed the vast majority of Uncle
Clark's Kindergarten class. 1t was Joe
who dug Cecil Travis out of base
ball school and bought him for 500;
who grabbed Buddy Lewis for nothing;
who developed Dee Miles after the
Tigers spurned Dee'S previous efforts
as a pitcher, and who purchased Cliff
Bolton at a price ridiculously cheap
for a major league catcher in this day
and age. 1t must be admitted that Mr..
Engel has done air-to-middlin' job.
One of the imbibers who was bend
ing an elbow in Mr.. Engel's f1ashy red
leather er-and-chromium Office in Chat
tanooga a few days ago. tossed off
saucerful and inquired of Josephus the
secret of his success in combing the
bushes and coming up with honest-to-
goodness ball players. And Mr.. Engel,
while adequately modest, refused to
act tongue-tied.
Averages Not Everything.
IT GUESS" revealed Joe. that part
of the reason is how little things
about ball players affect me. I don't
always pay attention to batting aver
ages of minor leaguers. If I like the
eyes of a guy, f'rinstance, I might up
and buy him.
Take Joe Cronin. for example" he
continued with pardonable pride. Joe
was hittin' only .245 for Kansas City
when I bought him. And va know
what he turned out to be. va know
what Griff sold for him, too.
And Bucky Harris. There was
absolutely a terrible ball player when
I brought him up. Terrible. But
