BILL DUFF MAY
 BE BIG THREAT AT GEORGETOWN
Local Boy, AII.Eastern Back Last Year, Has
 Another Year
Especial to The Democrat)

Washington, D. O., March 26--- Taking advantage of every possible break in the weather, Coach Jack Hagerty sent his prospective 1986 gridmen through several brisk work- outs all last week and seemed well pleased with the results attained. Assisted by Line Coach "Mush" Du- bofsky, and End Coach Murtaugfl. e. U. Jack" spent the early part of the week in fundamentals and limbering up exercises, but, with his charges chafing at the bit for ac- tion, drove them through two short. but very stiff scrimmage sessions, on Friday and Saturday. The action was not without its ill-effects, how- ever, as Law" Hardy, varsity Cen- ter, and Frank Meglen, fullback candidate, were out with fot ir- juries, and "Maury" Nee, end can- didate, was put out of service with fractured collar bone. The rest. of the squad shaped up rather well, except for minor injuries and bruis- eS. 2.
 Line Outstanding
 Perhaps the wealth of material this year is in the line candidates, Big and fast, the frosh are sending up such men as Hill, Brady, Frank, Burke, and Carnage. These men have already shown plenty of pow- CT in the line work, but have not as z yet acquired the system employed here at the Hilltop. Charley Le- moine, last years freshman end, has been shifted to guard position by Hagerty because of a sufflciency of capable ends. Lemoine has not as yet been impressive in his new job, but time must be given to enable him to acquire knowledge of his post. Veteran guards, such as re- haan, who has made several fine showings to date, O,Brien, Fleck, Stadler, and Leslie, are holdovers from last season, while, in addition to Lemoine, the frosh have sent ur Burke, Pearl, Hill, Frank, Robinson, and Sullivan. The tackle jobs are still manned by such veterans as Clen Stralka, Hogan, and Brown, while frosh candidates are Gamage,i 4SA oNJb 9SAOAiCJp SiiuA eikiu Sullivan. With this material 1t is highly probable that the Blue and Gray will have one of the finest lines in the East next season.
 Billy Duff Back
 In the backfield department Coach Hagerty has Kemp Moulin. Valiquette, Gibbins, Bizet, Wychun- as, and Meglen as newcomers, while Jim Dooley, who has performed welt up to date, Bill Duff, who received all-Eastern mention last year, and Bob Nolan, are remaining from last year. In the end section Coach Murtaugh has Lane, Fleming, Don- ohue, and Gildea up as recruits, while such oldsters as Snyder, Dealy, and Martin are bidding for posts. The center job is well taken care of by Mike Fuardo, with Riof- ski and Acrocco in reserve.

CUC|NELLO AND LOPEZ SURE TO
 HELP TEAM 'GO'
Admits Weak Spots But Looks For Better Morale;
 Batting Strength Shows
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports EditOr)

St. Petersburg, Florida, March 2t = (UP) - Vast improvement al second base and behind the bat plus an infinitely superior team spirit, have made the Boston Bees a considerably improved club, Bill McKechnie said today.
 Veteran of six seasons with the Boston Nationals insists the 1886 model is the best clubb he has had since he joined up in 1894.
 Going Up
 Don't think I'm satisfied" Mo- Kechnie said. We've got our weak spots and I know them. No, you shouldn't ask me to specify. Just let me admit them. But l do in- sist we are better off today than we were a year ago. Better off one big way in that the unsettled cir cumstances of ownership and so on are settled. That will make for better playing, Don't you think? Better off in the field, for in Tony Cuccinello at second and Al Lopez at catching we are stronger than I've known the Bees to be in recent years.
 T feel we got the best of the trades we went through. Right now we have a strong defensive in- field, a fair outfield, and a team with some real batting possibilities. "
 McKechnie will use Buck Jordan at first. Tony Cuccinello at second, Art Whitney at third, and Bill Ur- banski at short. Except for Cuc- cinello the infield is holdover. Har- old Lee, Walt Berger and Gene Moore are the outfielders. Moore is new. Rupe Thompson is rated the fourth outfielder, and that's about all the pasture guardians Bill will talk about.
 His catching shapes up all right. Lopez will be in there whenever possible. Ray Mueller is shaping up well, but McKechnie feels that he will be a first string catcher in another year or two 50 he wants to farm him out for experience.
 Promising
 Boston pitching should be ade- quate if not brilliant. Ray Bence, John Babich and Bobby Refs have come on from Brooklyn, and will be among the first five which included Ben Cantwell and Dan MacFayden, Cantwell had one of the most amaz- ing records in Major League Ball last year, winning but four of his 29 games. Despite this, McKechnie mentions Cantwell first when he talks about his pitchers.
 Jim Chaplin, up from Nashville where he won "A and lost Il, is big strapping fellow. McKechnie likes him. Thinks he maybe one of the regular starters"
 McKechnie won't pick spot for the Bees to finish in. He figures all the second division clubs have improved.
 Anyway" he says, while we were very bad last year, we ought to move up a notch or two. No, won't try to figure the teams we might dis place. All I'll say is we really are better and I think the National is going to have a heck of a race"
 He figures the title will be fought for among St. Louis (his real choice) New York Gan indicated second pos sibility) and the champion Chicago Cubs. Says he likes the new name Bees.

Elks' Bo1climg League Items

We have 8 new member added to the list of. weekly high single this week, Dr. DeNicola capturing this honor with his TAO string.
 Joe BellvllIe and Dan Mahaney came through strong in their second match with the School Teachers to save their team from a complete upset. The Schoolinen hit 1544 to cop the other three points from the American league leaders.
 Some spectacular bowling was turned in by Dr. Leonard and Dick Fisher last week in their match with Joe Harpin's team, and they emerged with three point win, losing the last match by a close margin when Carl Golden with some good support turned the tide in favor of the Harpin men.
 "Whit" Moody finished with . spare and then strike in the final game to take the lead away from the ClOckmen and also sew up pin fall, which gave them . three point win over the National league lead CTS.
 The Tee Cream Makers can thank their new member, Dr. Lawlor, for their only point of the week against York, the popular dentist going strong in the second game to save this one point.
 Harold Hadley and Bill DunIeavy both turned in some good scores and being favored by the absence of two of the Postal outfit, were able to garner all four points.
 The Powermen had full steam on last week and knocked the Stanton outfit out of the running. Frank Byrnes led the boys with 375 pin- fall, while some very good work was turned in by Dick Hyland and Jack Roberts.
 Jack Reilly knocked off 2 $40 plnfall, but received no help from his mates and the Cahill team h1d no trouble in taking all four points.
 The Militiamen of Warren Cooke with Bill Gilbert starring took all four points from Dr. Cottiero. al- though each game was very close and not actually settled until final box.
 Carl Demenske came back strong In the last two games to save these two points for his men, after they | had received Q bad beating in the | Initial contest. However, it is ap- parent from the sheets that Demen- ske had won plncfall. but the wrong

drove in three runs as the Bees won 8 to 5. Moore played bang-up game in the field, and robbed Lew Riggs of 8 possible homer with a spectacular running catch.
 Sarasota, Fla, March 26.-(UP)- Roger "Flit" Cramer, costly center fielder purchased from Philadelphia by the Yawkey millions, hasn't lost any of his batting prowess. Yester- day he hit three singles and a triple in five times at bat to lead the Bos- ton Red Sox 14-hit attack against the Newark Bears. bib Williams also appeared in top batting form, driving in three runs with 8 single and homer in two times at the plate. Johnny Welch, veteran pitcher, is rounding into shape.
 Winter Haven, Fla, March 26.- (UP)-Woodley Abernathy, Balti- more rookie. recovered from sore ieg in time to help the Phillies win their 7th straight. Woodley rapped 8 four-bagger in the sixth against Rochester.
 Tt. Myers, Fla, March 28.-(UP) Jimmy Trexler, who hurled the last four innings for the As in yesterdays game, may be a slugging southpaw. Trexler started the rally and scored the run which ended the Browns winning streak.
 Barlow, Fla, March 26.-(UP)- Buddy Hassett, Brooklyn's recruit first baseman, has broken the bat ting slump which has gripped him since he joined the Dodgers and was hailed again today as one of the best looking young players to come up this season. Hassett crack ed out 4 hits in 4 times at bat yes- terday as the Dodgers beat the New York Yankees, 11-9. Until yester- day his batting average was .1l7.
 Tallahassee, Fla, March 26.-(UP) The Chicago Cubs hoped to tri- umph over the New York Giants to- day and gain an even break in their 6-game series. The Giants won yes- terday, 7-2, to take the lead three games to two. Fielding of Apgie Galan. Cubs center fielder, has been one of big features of the series.

racy. And that Is what happens when any executive
department, military or civil, draws q draft on the
taxpayers and walks OF with congressional rubber
stamp signature without adequate scrutiny and
challenge. More resistance to spending of all kinds
is needed in Congress Especially that type Of spend

fixed charges.
1t is the duty Of Congress not only to challenge
the necessity OF vast military expenditures in ma

VISIT THE HOSPITALS

BECAUSE the spirit behind the modern hospital
~ is that Of Florence Nightingale, who pioneered
in modern nursing and hospital methods, National
Hospital Day is observed today on the anniver-
sary of her birth.
Indianapolis hospitals are holding open house.
Gov. McNutt and Mayor Kern issued proclamations
urging people to visit the institutions and learn
what they are doing.
The function Of the modern hospital was well
described in the invitation issued by the Indiana
State Medical Association:
without the equipment, the personnel and above
all the spirit Of research and progress that charac-
terizes the hospital, land still would be swept
by pestilence and plague, for the hospital is the
bulwark against epidemic and widespread disease

PERSONAL SECURITY

EEDERAL and state legislation for social security
serves to emphasize the individuals need for a
program of personal security for himself and family
Social legislation is in no way intended to dis
courage take the place of individual saving for the
future
That this is true is shown by the latest figures on
life insurance
With Indianapolis observing Life Insurance
Week. it is interesting to note that Hoosers last year
paid or invested more than $12200o0O0 in premiums
for all types of insurance protection.
Last year 100000 persons in the United States
paid out 1881, 100000 in life insurance premiums
This represented more than per cent of the ma
tional income. Americans bought nearly $15,00o-
100000 of new life insurance protection last year. ex
ceeding the high point Of 1929
More than one hundred billion dollars Of life in
surance now is in force
An index to the extent to which insurance is be-
Ing used to provide individual security is that fact
that out of $4,000 100000 paid out by insurance
panies in 1885, $7Oooooooo was paid to living policy
holders.
These figures illustrate how saving for personal
security is major factor in national economic
security.

THE capture of Thomas H. Robinson Jr. in Glen

Charged with the kidnapping of Mrs. .Sice Speed

who have been taken in the relentless roundup by

found on Robinson.
One after another, the so-caled big shots of the
underworld have collapsed before the drive of the

RUBBER STAMP SPENDING

EOR three years now the Army and Navy have
practically written their own tickets in the mat
ter of military expenditures With almost no oppose
ton Congress has just approved the spending of
nearly billion dollars for defense purposes in the
fiscal year 1884
There always has been in Congress a strong mill
tarist bloc which favored approprating whatever
sums the Army and Navy asked But until about
two years ago there was also smaller but just as
vigorous group of anti-militarists who challenged
and helped to curb military spending.
Why has this latter group lost in numbers in
vigor and in influence? There appear to be several
contributing factors-the trend toward international
chaos, marked by the rise of relationships and i'm
peria ambitions abroad the breakdown of the worlds
peace machinery and the scrapping of armament
limitation pacts; the growing fear that another
world war is in the making and might break out any
day in the Orient Europe, and the determination
that the United States prepare itself for any even
tuay and last though not least the general public
spending tempo, which seemingly has caused Con-
gress TO lose Its of proportion when dealing
with the taxpayers credit.
For our own part we believe in adequate defense
We believe that we should have an Army capable
of becoming the nucleus of an efficient mass mobili-
zation In an emergency. We believe that we should
have Navy strong enough to defend our shores
and the shores Of territorial dependencies We do not
undertake here TO say that under the circumstances
military budgets larger than they need to be-
But we do not like to see farce made Of democ-
