progress was made in the last ses-
sion Of congress, but the law is
not yet on the statute books"
The convention will take steps
to broaden the Legion's commun-
ity service and youth activities,
the national commander said.
"The national Legion is not a
militaristic organization, but It
will never consent to the sacrifice
of our national honor, even for
the sake of preserving peace"
Murphy said, "and we will unques-
tionably reiterate our opposition
of Communism, Naziism and Fas-
cism."
Murphy prophesied "there will
be less damage done at this con-
vention than at any other conven-
ton of similar size in the coun-

While the Legion is converting

FINALSFOR CITY'S SOFTBALL
CHAMPIONSHIP OPEN FRIDAY
Barbecuers and Grey's Mill
Playing Fine Ball as
Series Nears

The final series for the City
SoftbalI championship will open
tomorrow afternoon with the Bar
becue Boys battling Grey's Mill.
The Barbecuers finished second
in the regular season and the
Grey's fourth, but both teams
have played jam-up ball in the
preliminary series and from all
angles seemed closely matched.
On the basis of play in the Sc
rieS a brief comparison of the
two teams shows that they are
closely matched at bat and in the
field.
On the mound Paul Duncan has
developed into one Of the out
standing pitchers of the league
and the Grey's are strong here.
Mitch Byers, while not as spectac-
ular as Duncan, is steady, reli-
able twirler and can be counted
on for plenty of good pitching.
Behind the plate the massive
McCarson gives the Barbecues a
little more distance in hitting than
Kidd can muster but Kidd. is a
reliable, steady backstop and both
boys rate about even.
In the infield, at first it's the
flashy Ed White and the hard
hitting Roy Owens. Both sluggers
and both steady fielders. At sec
ond Manager Brookshire of the
Grcys played only one game of
the series and his hitting was not
up to holland Faulkner's of the
Barbecues, and he had no field
ing chances, so no comparison can
be made.
At third the Grey's have Fred
Byers, enc of the best, against
Sammy Bryson, another of the
best, and the battle between these
key positions should be feature
Of the series.
At the shortstop position are
the flashy Jack McGriff and slug
ging Harry Williams. While Nc
Griff doesn't hit for distance as
we'll as Williams, his fielding is
excellent and neither can take the
nod.
The outfelds are evenly bal
anced. Ulys Duncan, Osteen, Jim
Brown and Lefty Walter Brothers
give the Grey's an outfeld that
ranks with the best. All fast, sure
and with powerful throwing arms,
they make the hard chances look
easy. Phil Thibodeau, John Bell
Houston, Hendrix and dimlnutlve
Pat Flanagan will hit, field and
throw with any outfit in the
league. -
So it looks like a toss-up IN
pitching, hitting and fielding, and
the five-game series beginning TO-

But Secretary Roper Warns
Against Promotion OF
Another Boom

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. -
UP)-Secretary Of Commerce
DAM ETC. Roper yesterday SAID
the nation approaches lone of the
greatest eras in it's history" and
cautioned segmentS OF
business against promoting boom
conditions" similar to those which
brought about an economic col
lapse in 1929.
His warning came "a hours al
ter President Roosevelt and a
group of powerful insurance exc
cutives considered potential dan
gers of excessive speculation IN
land values at a White House con-
ference and discussed methods OF
mutual cooperation in curbing
this evil. -,
The cabinet minister did not
identify the "segments of bust
ness" to which his remarks were
addressed. His optimistic fore
cast he indicated, was based up
on reports reaching various gov
eminent agencies. These included
a statement by the treasury that
income tax collections during the
first two weeks of September eX-
ceeded those of the same period
last year by $40,00O,OOO.
In addition, Roper said, taOula-

of manufacturers reported that
retail sales in 1885 increased
from 25 per cent to sc per cent
over those of 1888. The largest

MUSGRAVE HARBOR. N. F.,
Sept. II. (UP).-Details of the
quarrel between Harry Richman
and Dick Merrell over the dump
ing of gasoline during a storm
over the Atlantic were obtained
today as mechanics rushed here
from New York labored to repair
the transatlantic plane for its
trip to New York.
Richman, owner Of the S95, 900
monoplane, confirmed that he
dumped the gasoline over the pro-
test of Merrill, a transport pilot
of many years experience.
ave had 100 gallons Of gas on
leaving Liverpool" he said. Give
hundred miles off Newfoundland
we met a gale head wind which
nearly forced the plane into the
sea. l believe we would have
crashed and drowned had the gas
not been dumped.
at is true | demanded Merrill
to dump the gas and he refused.
My object was to Tighten the plane
and enable us to successfully bat
tie the gale. Contrary to Merrill
and against his protest, / dumped
over the gasoline, leaving enough
to reach Newfoundland"
Apprised of Richman's state
ment, Merrill looked up from his
work on the plane and said: "Well
that's one side of it and not the
whole story of that side either"
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, pres
ident of the Eastern Airlines on
which Merrill is pilot, talked
with the fliers together and indi-
vidually after his arrival in a
motor boat with supplies and
mechanics. Relations appeared
more friendly and the fiiers, first
to make a round-trip crossing of
the Atlantic, worked with the
mechanics'in repairing the ship.
