Would Change Baseball

Hugo Bezdek, who managed the
Pittsburgh Pirates back there dur
ing the World War, suggests that
baseball must be pepped-up to hold
fan interests. He believes four
outs per inning and seveninning
games would help. in that it would
bring up the heavy ritters every
other inning.
Bezdek points out that football
and basketball have been revised
from time to time in difference to
their hold on the public, whereas
baseball's changes have been neg
ligible He recalls the OUTLAWS"
he heard when the forward pass
was first suggested.
Baseball'S holdouts are fading
with the SHOWS. Few players are
on record as staying out Of the
game a season because Of salary
arguments. Mike Donlin once
quit the Giants over a $1,000 diff
ference and Home Run Frank
Baker stayed out year when the
AS wouldn't meet his demands.
Eddie Roush carried one pout
through a whole season and an.
other for half season. Cliff Boil
ton. remained aloof half year, In
1884.

ORLANDO, Fla, March 8.
Johnny Stone remains the last of
the Griff holdouts. Buck New
som, Jack Russell, Buddy Myer
and Earle Whitehill adjusted their
difficulties with President Clark
Griffith and are established In
camp. Stone is expected to ar
rive in camp today or tomorrow
and it is quite likely that he will
come to a fair compromise with
the club.
Before sunset tonight the entire
force of the Griffs should be in
camp. Ossie Bluege wheeled into
Orlando last night, accompanied
by Mrs. Bluege. Carl Reynolds,
Jess Hill and Ralph KreSS are eX.
pected here today.
Boys Agree
Although the usual secrecy
guards the conversation passed
between President Griffith and
Earl Whitehill, there is every in
dication that the boys set aside
diplomacy and spoke a few blunt
truths about baseball and all that
sort of thing. However, they came
to an agreement on the matter
Of salary and service, and that
is what counts.
Joe Bokina, righthanded rookie
pitcher, showed exceptional con-

TRANSATLANTIC
 RADIO IS TESTED

Boston, Nov. 0-(UP)-The first successful two-way trans-Atlantic radio broadcast between moving trains on two different continents took s.ace yesterday between an- nouncers aboard the New Haven streamliner, tho Comet, and the German streamliner the flying Hamburger.
 The broadcast was part of Q pro. gram celebrating the National Broadcasting Company's 10th ami. versary. and was transmitted through the facilities of the NEG. Blue Network in this country and the Reichs Rundfunk, the German Broadcasting System in Germany.
 The Comet was midway between Boston and Providence, and the flying Hamburger was enroute from Hamburg to Berlin.
 Transmitting and receiving equip- rnent was installed in the second section of the Comet, which also served as studio.
 The Comet broadcast was picked up by special receiving station at Canton junction, sent by special wire line to the master control room at Station WBz in Boston. From Boston, special lines carried the program to NBC's Radio City mas ter control room and then to RCA Communications at Rocky Point, where transoceanic transmitter carried the voices across the Atlan- tic to Berlin.

ONLY ONE SAVED
 ON BRITISH SHIP

London, Nov. Q - (UP)--From mountainous seas 200 miles of Lands End, England early today the s. 8. Westernland picked up life boat containing one man. He apparently was the lone survivor of the 70 man crew of the motorshir rsls.
 Three times through the ravifig winds and gigantic seas of the sea- sons worst storm, crackled an 5Os from the little German freighter. The German Red Star liner, Vest ernland, arrived at dusk yesterday and oil night, while she plunged and rolled, oil but helpless, her search lights fingered through the wind driven rain and spray. She picked up the ono man in the ono boat, and, at 0:30 a. m. (4:30 a. m. EST) her commander abandoned hope of finding the others and ordered her put about for south- ampton, her destination.
 The British freighter Seminole had assisted in the search, and even the great Queen Mary, the largest ship afoat turned of her course, though she was rolling 50 heavily that passengers were hav' ing diiiiculty staying in their hunks.

NEW HOPE TO END
 SHIPPING STRIKE

San Francisco, Nov. 9-(UP)- New hope for quick and peaceable settlement of the maritime strike, raging on all coasts, rose today. Striking maritime workers on the Pacific coast, whose strike is the core of the labor war on the Atlantic and Gulf states, lifted their paralytic grip on the harbors by authorizing the unloading of perishable cargoes.
 Edward P. McGrady, assistant sec- retRry of labor, announced here, and his superior, Secretary Frances Perkins announced in Washington, that negotiations between the strikers representatives and the ship owners would resume today.
 Many believed that the strike for better wages and shorter hours on the east coast and the sympathy strikes on the Gulf, would be ended quickly once the Pacific coast workers signed new terms with their employers.

CHURCH STRESSES
 NEUTRALITY PLEA
Imminence of War Crisis Emphasized From Pull.
 pits Yesterday

stressing the imminence of Q war crisis, the Council for Social Action of the Congregational and Christian Churches of America, in It's Armis- tice Sunday message read from sev- eral thousand pulpits yesterday, called the churches of this denotn. ination to support @ policy Of non. cooperation with war.
 Stating that flor eighteen years the world has been living in Q post war era," the council pointed out that "the threat of war in Europe and the Far East forces us into Q pre-war period" The tragic ques- ton which presses upon the churches, the council stated, is "What course should America fol- low if war cannot be prevented abroad2"
 The plea was for strong church support of neutrality. Tt is easier to urge this policy than to pursue It." the council declared. ITO re. main at peace, while other nations battle, would put fearful strain upon our reutraliyt laws. It would infiict heavy financial losses upon American business an dagriculture."
 Nothing the cost of effective neu- trolity, the Council asserted, we may be forced ot choose, whether to give up foreign trade, with con. sequent unemployment and loss of profits, or to sacrifice our young men, our ideals, our integrity.
 For the Christian there can be but one choice" the message reads. If we know the will of God, 1t is the will to peace. Bombing afr planes do not hasten justice. secur. ity or freedom" :.
 Declaring, however, that 1t plead for no narrow nationalism, the council urged that the churches ace cept the task of cooperating In solv. Ing the problems which make for war. "America's leadership for peaco," the message stated, includes not only the negative policy of TO. fusal to join in war but also the positive policy of eliminating wars causes"
