Griffmen Home
To End Season

The Griffmen returned to their
home stamping grounds today from
Gotham, buoyed by the prospect
of their best season since the 1888
edition represented the American
League in the World Serie S
against the New York Giants.
At the beginning Of the cam
piagn, the general consensus Of
the experts, far and wide was for
a second division tenancy for
Bucky Harris warriors. This
morning, as a fit reward for the
fine handling of the Griffmen by
manager Harris, they find them
selves locked in third place with
the skidding Chicago White Sox,
only a game and a half behind
the second place Tigers.
Second place is the goal Of the
Mats and they hope to achieve
their goal in the games remaining
with the Red SoX and Yankees
before the full string is run. Yes
terday, they divided with the new
~ crowned league champions at
Yankee Stadium, winning the
first game behind the artful ell
bowling of Earl Whitehill by a 6
to / score but being noSed out in
the after-piece when Lefty Gomez
had one of his good days and al
lowed only two hits. The score
was to 2 for the Yankees.
What started as drab year for
Whitehill Is now finishing as one
Of the greatest for the Cedar
Rapids left handler since he be-
come a Griffman. There was
some doubt whether the Iowa
southpaw would remain with the
Mats when the 1897 caste was
arranged. Whitehill is one of the
higher priced members of the
present ensemble and in the front
office it was felt that he was not
producing in proper proportion to
the semi-monthly pay check.
Whatever the doubts, the Earl
of Cedar Hapids took prompt re-
assuring measures. He has now
won his last five games and has
been nourishing tonic to build the
Griffmen to their present rugged
stature.
On August %, the Earl suffered
his last setback. That was against
the AS by a score of Z 70 6 with
the pesky Athletics staging a
three-run rally in the ninth to
score their victory. However, the
Iowa fork-hander came right back
off this defeat to beat the Browns
in his next start. The Athletics
then felt the sting of his scorn
and he followed by beating the
Indians and repeated against the
Browns. Yesterday, he pitched
one of his best games to limit the
smuggling Yankees to seven scat
tered hits for his fifth straight.

Another step forward was the
new 1885 rule, allowing one in
complete pass over the goal line
without losing the ball. Now a
team can chance a pass for the
actual touchdown play.
Previously team would hardly
try a pass on first or second down
as, if it grounded over the goal
line, it became the opponents ball
on the 20-yard line. In those days
pass was attempted only as

Thus the pass has become an

But even if you would escape

The Development of Forward
Passing

Although forward passing
started in 1906, it has come into
more widespread use in the past
few years than in all the proceed
ing ones. Prior to 1884 the re-
striction of two incomplete for
ward passes in four conservatives
downs calling for a five-yard
penalty limited it's use, but aboli-
ton of this penalty Immediately
brought forth more passing. No
longer need the quarterback worry
about placing his team in danger
of the five-yard loss due to the two
incomplete passes.

ments on the speed Of the vessel and
mileage, the pounds carried would
form the basis.
When vessels are to be built under
the subsidy system IN the Copeland
bill, the plans would 60 to the Navy
Department for suggestions as to fea-
lures that would make the merchant
ships suitable as naval or military
auxiliaries In time Of emergency. The
construction differential subsidy would
equal the amount by which the cost
would exceed the cost Of building o
similar ship in foreign shipbuilding
center. ANY special features incor-
porated for purposes of national de-
fense also would be paid by the au-
thority.
In ordinary cases, this subsidy
would be limited to not more than
one-third' the total cost of the ship,
but upon q showing that the actual
differential between the cost here and
abroad would be greater, the author
ity could 60 up to 40 per cent. If the
authority found a differential higher

ship was required to carry out the pur-
poses Of the bill, the Government could
build the vessel and charter it to the
applicant.
Under the new Senate draft of the
bill, when an application was received
to have a new vessel built, the Mari
time Authority would contract with q
shipbuilder for the construction, and
also contract with the applicant to
buy the ship upon completion at
price corresponding to the cost, less
the differential subsidy. The appli-
cant would put up Is per cent Of this
purchase price, and pay the balance

He addressed the National Board OF

said. I'm this as in other lines I

with confidence that knowledge Is
safer than ignorance.
I'VE see films of innocuous and

Senator Copeland described as
meritorious the labor provisions which
have been omitted from the latest
draft Of the shipping bill. For that
reason, he said, he has introduced
them as a separate measure, and eK-
pressed the hope that both bills will
receive early consideration by the
Senate.
The Senator said there will be
brought forward later a third bill,

The last important shipping act
was the law of 1928. which was based
on the principle Of making loans to

What of Merchant Marine?

The Senate bill contains an alter
nate plan under which the shipowner
could have his own vessel constructed,
differential to the shipbuilder.
T Still another amendment the Senate
committee made in the House bill at
the last session would require the re.
capture by the Government of con-
tract holders profits exceeding per
cent q year over q five-year period,
after provision for suitable reserves.
Such recapture, however, would be
limited to the amount Of the subsidy
granted, and when in any year the
contractors profit was less than 6 per
cent, the authority could permit the
contractor to draw on the fund to in
crease his profits to 6 per cent. The
Senate committee stated, however, that
this procedure would not be guar
antee Of profit to the shipowner, be-
cause such Withdrawals would have to
be from his own previous profits I'M
pounded in preceding years.
Foreign Competition Is Yardstick.
The operating subsidies likewise
would be fixed at the amount by which
the authority found the American ship
to be at a disadvantage in competi-
ton with foreign vessels in meeting
fair and reasonable operating costs.
The construction fund set up by
former shipping laws would be turned
over to the new authority.
The pending bill also provides for a
Joint transportation board, composed
of members of the authority, the In
terstate Commerce Commission and
the Secretary of Commerce, to make
recommendations for the interrelation
of rail and water traffic.
