little time studying the arts and
strategems of pitching. His game
on Sunday against the Red Sox
was outstanding. Some of his
previous performances, and he
had not won a game in several
weeks, were nothing if not
mediocre. At times they weren't
even mediocre. They were pedicu-
louS.
Would 1t Be Wise?
Whether it would be wise to
trade Newsom at his best over a
season for a player like Werber,
and Werber is a clever, versatile
performer, is a matter for serious
thought and debate. John Nc
Graw always rated a good in
fielder over any pitcher or out
fielder. He ranked Hans Wagner
over Babe Ruth, although he may
have been in error in his con-
tentionS.
Pete Appleton Subdued the
Yankees in thorough-going style
yesterday. He was in trouble
frequently. The Yankees had a

lines-13 was the exact count
but Appleton struck out Powell in

and later set down Crosetti in the
same manner with the bases
damned.

And yet for all of the upward
surge and for all of the victories,
President Griffith is just a little
annoyed over the reports that a
trade is brewing with the Boston
Red Sox.
Il never talk about their ball
club; they've got no right to
talk about mine," said the Old
Fox, and there was a decided
note Of aSperity in his tone.
He referred to the proposed
trade of Buck NewSom for Ber-
wyn's William Werber, a trade
which has been talked of before,
not only in this space but else
where. They're talking of that
same trade in Boston at this time.
It is quite laudible in President
Griffith not to discuss other ball
clubs. The right of others to dis
cuSs his club is unquestionable.
Mr.. Griffith takes the profits and
bears the loSSes-Some of them
at any rate-but his club is a
public institution. and fans will
talk trade, regardless Of an own
er's preference.
Washington Needs Infielders
There is a strong possibility that
Willie Werber will be traded by
the Boston Red Sox this winter.
Common sense tells everyone that
the Washington team is bowling
to the high heavens for infielderS
If you've seen base hits spray
through the local middle area you
know that truth to be self evident.
Werber would be welcome to
Washington. It is not necessary to
ask any one in authority to fix
that fact.
Within the last fortnight the
writer held informal discussion
with representative men on this
ball club concerning available
players on other teams. 1t was
generally agreed that Bill Werber
would make a great man for
Washington.
So far as Newsom is concerned,
his value to the Washington team
can be just as great as he wants
to make it. He has the natural
ability to win 20 games year.

build our garages. and liqu.date the
cost by tolls"
Representative Dirksen of Illinois
recently suggested the use of two
{ downtown parks for automobile park
ing purposes. This proposal. how
ever, met with storm of protest and
has not been pressed.
Another significant development
along this line was the recent an
nouncement that the members Of the
Subcommittee on Streets and Traffic
of the House District Committee are
planning quiet survey of its own to
determine what is responsible for the
high death rate from traffic accidents
| here. Officials believe this study will
lead them to the conclusion that con-
gestion attributable to parking is re-
sponsible for many accidents. and hope
it will lead to remedial action by Con-
gress along the lines of the municipal
garage bill.
r REPRESENTATIVE CARPENTER,
Democrat, of Kansas. who will
lead the group of Congressman. has
attended meetings of McQueary'S
group and is familiar with the argu-
ments in support of the garage plan.
The proposal for municipal garages
has met with considerable opposition
from certain groups in the city, par
ticularly from those who do not drive
cars. They take the position that the
garages would confer a benefit on the
motoring class at the expense of the
pedestrian. although the proponents
argue that the garages would be self
supporting and no expense to the tax
payers.
The opponents. however, contend
the parking problem-in so far as it
consists of getting parked cars off the
streets-can be handled by employing
extra policemen with the money urged
for garages and requiring the officers
to enforce the parking regulations.
The District Commissioners in De-
cember appointed a Committee on

make thorough study of the entire
traffic situation In Washington.

provement on the present unsightly
manner of parking cars which lin no
wise, form or fashion, lends beauty or
charm to the CITY,"
McQueary pointed out however, that
the general public could not use these
garages any more than they could set
up private business establishments in
Government offices, and therefore
urged citizens associations. merchant
and trade associations and civic or
ganizations to support the plan devised
by Roberts for the use of the general
public.
Another proposal, advanced by Car
roll Beale, contemplates the building
of underground parking establish
ments. Beale has estimated that
parking space under the surface of the
Mall and wide avenues for $4,000
automobiles could be constructed at
a cost of about $14,000,000.
LIE SUGGESTS that the money be
: = borrowed from the P. w. A. and
repaid by increasing the automobile
license fee from 81 to $40 a year.
Such an increase, Beale says, would
provide some s1,350,00o annually
toward paying interest. operating the
parking spaces and curtailing the loan.
II believe this suggestion to be
rational solution of most urgent and
universal municipal problem and one
that will create jobs for many thou
sands of the unemployed" he declares.
The proposal for subsurface parking
has been attacked on the ground that
the cost per car is higher than in
the case of three-story parking garages
and because 1t will not care for as
many cars.
James G. Yaden, active in the
work of the District of Columbia
division of the American Federation
of Government Employees, has been a
strong supported of the movement to
