Most Of Them Have Punch.

OTHERWISE most major league
" shortstoppers now carry a punch.
It is no longer uncommon to find them
swinging from the heels in the clean
up spot. Vaughan is the most striking
example OF the new power.
Manager Joe Cronin of the Boston
Red Sox is cleanup clouter. Billy
Rogell of the world champion Detroit
Tigers not only tops the defensive list
but wields potent stick in the
pinches. Bill Knickerbocker Of the
Clevelands and Luke Appling OF the
Chicago White Sox are 800 hitters.
So is Cecil Travis, slated to move over
to short from third base for the Wash
ingtons this Spring.
Leo Durocher, peppery shortstop of
the st. Louis Cardinals, once was
dubbed the "all-America out" but he
hit .265 last year, besides being run
ner-up to Jurges for fielding honors.
Dick Bartell of the New York Giants
didn't add the punch expected Of him
last season, but he is 800 hitter nor
mally.
Linus (Junior> Frey Of the Brooklyn
Dodgers packs long distance wallop
and Billy Myers is the leadof hitter
for the Cincinnati Reds.

SHORTSTOP BERTH
CALLS FOR PUNCH
Pirate Heads a Class That
No Longer Puts Stress
on Defensive Play.

nj (Arky) Vaughan still was
toddling around the premises
A Of his Arkansas home when
Johnny Henry Honus) Wagner last
won the National League batting
championship and ruled the realm Of
oil big league shortstops.
Today. after lapse Of Is years and
as pupil of the great Wagner,
Vaughan is the champion batsman of
the majors and in fair way to be-
coming crowned the new king of the
shortstops.
The broad -shouldered Pittsburgh
infielder, who hit 1896 last season,
stands at the head of class that no
longer puts too much premium on de-
fensive skill. There are exceptions
but generally speaking the period has
passed when a pennant-contendin
club can afford to carry weak hitting
shortstop because of his fielding talent.
The shortstop of the champion
Chicago Cubs, Bill Burgess. hit only
.241 last season, but topped all Ma
tional League rivals on the defense.
Bill Urbanski Of the Boston Bees
dropped from 292 to 229, but he

WALK LIGHTS
HELD FLOP
BY ALLEN
Waste Of Money and
Are Not Observed,
He Declares

After maktNc a personal inspec-
ton of operation of the newly in
stalled walk" lights at Thirteenth
and F Streets Northwest today,
Commissioner George E. Allen
proclaimed them a flop" and
promised to do bouncing act on
my head from the White House to
the Capitol if they work"
A foe of pedestrian control on
the ground that I'VE already have
sufficient regulations to control
pedestrians, Commissioner Allen
took slap at Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer's plan to ex-
perimenting with the walk" lights
at several more intersections on
F Street and along G Street.
Raps Waste
Allen said:
ITS a shame that we have to
waste our money by flooding it
down the sewers this way. 1
don't believe any intelligent per.
son watching the operation of
these lights would proclaim
them a success.
II had been worried that advO-
Gates Of pedestrian control sue
coed in Harvesting these high.
priced lights on the District, but
after watching them in opera
ton / have decided to bother
my head no longer. They will
kill themselves. If they do sue
coed, 1 promise to do bouncing
act on my head all the way from
the White House to the Capitol"
LIGHTS IGNORED
Commissioner Allen said there
were no policemen at any of the
corners when he inspected the
lights and that he did not see a
single person observe them.
Director Van Duzer installed the
first walk" lights at Twelfth and
F Streets Northwest two weeks
ago and, with a policeman at every
corner, succeeded the first few
days in getting obedience to the
signals. When the police guard
was lifted, pedestrians ceased pay
ing attention to the lights. The
Thirteenth and F Streets lights
were installed a few days ago, but
no police guard was put at this
intersection, and the lights went
unheeded.

BOYS,
GIRLS MARCH

Boys and girls from Is States
and the District of Columbia who
serve as highway guardians to
100000 school children, today
paraded 5000 strong down Con-
stitution Avenue.
Marching to the stirring tunes
of the Navy Band and their own
high school bands. the youngsters
marched from Sixth Street and
Constitution Avenue past the re-
viewing stand at Fifteenth Street
and Constitution Avenue.
Admiral Carey T. GraySon, head
of the American Red Cross, saluted
the youngsters as they went by.
Members of Congress-, high rank
ing Army officers. Thomas P.
Henry, president of the American
Automobile Association, and other
prominent citizens occupied the
stand with Admiral Grayson.
The Schoolboy Patrol, working
in conjunction with the Police
Department, has cut down the
large number of casualties among
school children. Beginning in 1921,
the organization has grown until
today it has nearly a quarter of a
million members in $500 cities
and towns.
In recognition of it's achieve
ments, the A. A. A. clubs have
each year sponsored the entertain
ment of delegates in Washington.
Of the 5000 youngsters who
paraded today, 5000 are from out
of town.

RULE TO ALLOW
HOUSE ACTION
TO BE ASKED
Refusal Would Kill
CeIIer Bill for
This Session

Having remained dormant before
the House Rules Committee for
more than a month, resolution
providing for House consideration
of the bill virtually tc repeal the
married persons clause of the eco
nomy act will be the subject OF a
hearing Monday.
The bill itself was reported fav.
orably by the House Civil Service
committee early in the session, but
attempts to have it passed by unan'
imous consent failed and the
special rule was requested by Rep.
resentative Robert Ramspeck CD,
of Georgia, chairman of the Civil
Service committee.
Has Salary Limit
Introduced by Representative
Emanuel Celler Cd, of New York,
the measure would provide that if
the combined salaries of a man
and wife, both working in the Fed.
eral service, is above $4,000 year,
one will have to give up his posi-
ton.
Both Representatives RamSpeck
and Celler will appear before the
Rules committee Monday to urge
that the special rule be granted,
while Representative John j.
Cochran CD, of Missouri, will lead
the fight against the proposition.
There is some doubt as to
whether the Rules Committee will
grant the special rule, and in that
case, the measure would be dead
for this session.
Heated Fight Looms
Even if the rule is granted,
members believe, heated fight Is
anticipated on the House floor
when the bill is called up. One
member said:
II think if this were not a
campaign year, there would be
little trouble in getting this bill
through the House. However,
some members fear that, if they
should vote for the bill, their
opponents during the campaign
will charge that they voted for
bill which opposes the prin-
ciple of distributing jobs among
as many families as possible.
"As a matter of fact, the real
goal of this bill is to take away
the statute which is preventing
people from getting married or
is compelling them to get mar.
ried secretly. 1t is the normal
thing for couples to get mar"
ried. and that should be encour-
aged, instead of discouraged, as
is the case so long as this clause
remains on the statute books"

Says:

1t wouldn't be surprising II
the "hallelujahS" were soon re-
placed by "hi-de-hOes," now that
the Salvation Army has finally
accepted the saxOphOne as an
instrument for its street bands
=. Guess the Army figures that
it's an i'll wind-inStrument that
blows nobody good.
They used to tell us that we
would ride to Heaven in q
chariot, but apparently the mod.
ern method of transportation
will be "truckin'."
OF course, l never thought
the SaxOphOne was dignified
but, come to think of it, every
sax player I ever lived near
certainly practiced religiOusly.
The only great drawback in
allowing saxOphOneS in such an
organization is that they won't
be able to tell whether they're
driving sinners to religion, or
just driving 'em nuts.

NEW D. {. BILL
DRIVE LEDBY
THOMAS
Senator, Spurred by
President, to Seek
Conference

In the face of President RooSe-
velt's statement that Congress
must pass an appropriation bill to
pay the expenses of the District
in 1887, Senator Elmer Thomas
CD, of Oklahoma, chairman OF
the Senate conferees, announced
today that he would make another
effort early next week to get an
other conference with the House
in the hope of reaching an agree
ment.
ByrnS Has Plan
Shortly after the news Of the
Presidents statement reached the
Capitol, Speaker Joseph w. ByrnS
pointed out a way by which the
House Members could break the
deadlock. He recalled that there
was a rule that 20 days after con-
ferees had been appointed any
Member could move to discharge
or instruct the confereeS. This
motion is one of highest privilege
and would take precedence over
any other business in the House.
Observers took Speaker ByrnS'
statement as an indication as to
how the House leaders feel about
the situation and as to what will
be done if the House managers
continue to balk at the Senate'S
proposals.
Another Meeting
Senator Thomas said today that
he would return to the Capitol
Tuesday and set a date for
meeting. In explaining his posi-
ton, he remarked:
"Of course / am primarily in
terested in getting a regular ap-
preparation bill through. We
must, however, have a bill that
carries out the wishes of the
President in regard to the
S5,7OO,OOO lump sum we restored
to the bill on the recommends
ton of the Budget Bureau.
81 will ask the House to meet
with is again as soon as re-
turn. If / find that they do
not desire to meet or, at the
meeting, still persist in their
refusal to allow this cOntribu-
ton, we will have to introduce
a continuing resolution.
"In case the House refuses to
accept a continuing resolution,
we will then have to ask Presi-
dent Roosevelt to throw the
strength Of the Administration
behind this request"
In statement issued today
by the chairman of the House
conferees, the stand of Senator
Thomas was called purely
"smoke-screen." The statement
said that if the Senate actually
desired to stand strictly by the
Presidents budget on the D. C.
bill, many items, including the
new Eastern High School and
Chain Bridge, put in by the
House, would be eliminated.
Hope House Agrees
It is the hope of those inter
ested in the bill on Capitol Hill
that the House managers might
change their stand on the lump
sum over the weekend in view
of the Presidents statement yes
terday that he was standing be-
hind his budget estimates calling
for the full $5,700,000 contribu-
ton in the 1887 bill.
