FIELD DAY

BY J. EARLE MOSER

More than 1000 employees Of

are expected to journey, either
by train or private auto, to the
Beltsville Experimental Farm to.

annual field day which the de.
partment has sponsored since it
launched it's super-deluxe social
and recreational program three
years ago.
Last year Agriculture workers
sailed down the Potomac to Mar.
shall Hall, Md, where they had
a ball game, athletic events,
dancing and general good time.
This summer, however, social &C.
tivity leaders evolved the thought
that it would be entertaining to
acquaint personnel with the Belts.
vile plants modern dairy mar.
vels, and complete tour Of the
Federal farm will be an outStand.
ing event of the day.
Another tour for those who are
interested has been arranged to
go through "Tugwelltown," the
housing project under erection by
the Resettlement Administration
at Berwyn, which is not far
away. In addition to the tours,
however, there will be plenty of
other fun, including an "old-fash.
ioned barbecue" track and field
events, archery competition and
several comic stunts, such as
three-legged race and potato race.
Resettlement and AAA EN-.
ployeS have cooperated with Agri.
cultures personnel to make the
affair a success, and for those
lacking motor transportation a
train will leave at l o'clock to-
morrow from the Union Station,
arriving at Beltsville in plenty of
time for the full program.

reveals that Chairman John J.

Committee, has been urged to al.
low favorable action on the
RamSpeck bill to place first, Sec
ond and third class poStmasterS
under civil service. The council,
which claims representation of
more than 100000 Government
workers, issued the following
statement by Luther Steward, it's
legislative committee chairman:
Gan essential step toward pas
sage of the Ramspeck bill ex-
tending civil service within the
Post Office Department is i'm
mediate action by the House of
Representatives. The bill should
pass at this session of Congress.
1T has the unqualified support
of the council as an important
move in the whole effort to ex-
tend and strengthen the merit
system. 1t is our confident be-
lief that the House will pass
this measure if permitted to
vote on it. That there is cry.
ing need for merit system legis.
latiOn, now, is not q debatabIe
question. 1t is noteworthy that
the public, long apathetic,
finally has become aroused to
the seriousness Of the present
situation and is demanding ac-
tiOn. There can be no doubt
that passage of the RamSpeck
bill will meet with Overwhelm-
ing public approval"

will make the November

Chief Executive.
It may be a distinct
surprise to many to
learn that these voters

their President. What
they really do, is, select

Old Jesse Haines has been pitch ing for the St. Louis Cardinals since 1880. He has won a flock of ball games in the years that have passed, but it is extremely doubtful if his victories were ever more welcome than they are today. The 43-year- old moundsman has been talking about going back to take care of his Ohio garage for some time. But each spring finds him still on the job at St. Louis.
 With the Cardinal pitching staff shot to pieces and practically re- duced to a fellow named J. Dean, HaineS' victories have loomed very big indeed. In the first place, no aside from an occasional relief job. But when things got desperate Man ager Frankie Frisch was forced to call on the dean of big league ball players to keep the ship from sink ing.
 Haines. with his unruffled manner and marvellous poise, is a heroic fi- gure on the mound. His old "knuck- Ter" is still one of the most pug zling deliveries National League bat ters have to face His ancent arm has lost much of his snap, and strength, but Jesse makes up for that with the vast knowledge of bat ters' weaknesses he has collected for over 16 years in the National League. He has a steadying influ- ence on the entire team and the infielders and outfielders generally back him up in fine style for that very reason.
 He Nearly Quit, Once
 Haines thought he was ready to call it day back in 1926 after he had pitched the Cardinals to a 3-1 victory in the World Series against the New York Yankees with Babe Ruth and Company in the lineup. Jesse poled out home run in that contest and his joy was complete.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-09-02

It was the ideal time to retire, he figured. After all, he was B years old at the time and had been pitch ing in organized baseball for more than dozen ytars and could hardly expect to continue much lon ger
 That was ten years ago. He is still on the job. From appearances he may get chance to repeat his tri- umphs of a decade ago. The Yan- kees are practically in and at the present time it appears that the Car dinals are the team to beat in the National League.
 The biggest season Haines ever had in the majors was in 1927, when he turned in 24 victories while losing 10 games. In 1924 he chalked up the only no-hit, no-run game of the major season. He shut out the Boston Braves in registering his clas- sic and became the first St. Louis pitcher to enter baseball's hall of fame. Last year his record showed six victories against five defeats.
 The Cardinals amazing success in the face of heavy losses in the pitching staff can be traced to some extent to the prodigious humping of Rookie Johnny Mize Mize has been winning lot of ball games for the Cards with his timely extra base hits. The freshman has been

 setting the pace for the National League batters and threatens to run off with the individual batting crown.
 Mize is natural hitter He takes an easy cut at the ball and lets his powerful wrist and arms do the trick. There is no apparent effort to his swing, and yet he invariably hits for extra bases. At no stage does he fail to have complete con- trol of his bat, handling the big willow as though it were tooth- pick.
 Mize must have something to be able to force an established slugger like Ripper Collins to remain on the bench. Collins was one of the lead ing home-run hitters in the senior circuit when Mize came along and busted him from his regular job at first base.
 There was considerable doubt as to Mize's ability to play through an entire campaign after the op- eration he underwent last winter. But that has been dispelled. He covers his position without the slightest sign of limp and for a big man Che weights 200 pounds) he has unusual speed around first base and on the paths. He had everything to make him one of the outstanding performers in the big show.

Arriving promptly about twenty minutes late, behind motorcycle es- cort and mounted on a prancing red fire truck Company I of the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department squared off against Company II last night at the Firemen's Recreation Park for the epic 1886 Smoke Eaters baseball battle
 After two innings of furious fire works, the scoreboard showed six runs for Company II and four mark CTS for Company I. Then with Company threatening to tie up the score, Dolly Gray managed to lose the ball and the game was called on account of darkness.

 Lineups for the two squads were Company I = Jim Orme, pitcher; Red Shaw, catcher; Chief of Police Roy Hoffman, first base; Jack Pe- gues, second base; Doug Oliver shortstop, Doc Holman, third base; Herman Porter, left field; Martin Lavenik, center field; Bill Neider- hauser, Howard Button and A. R. Duncan, playing right field with one glove.
 Company II-Ken Junge pitching balls and Bob Duckworth pitching strikes; Elroy Ninnis. shortstop; Frank Heincke, sitting on first base; Kelly Blake, catcher Harry Lucas, catcher; Joe Hendrickson, center field; Roy Nolan, right field; and Dolly Gray, everywhere, Sim Mac Kinnon, on the Sidelines.
 Umpires-Earl Forsythe and Chief Penny Mulvihill, umpiring bases with a fire-ax.
 Ken Junge, first man up in the game tapped to Pitcher Orme for the first out. But, while Company l was unriveting Roy Nolan's tin pants, Frank Heinke managed to lope around the bases in his fire boots for one of Company IFS tal- lies.
 Then with Bill Neiderhauser keep ing third base clear with young French seventy-five, Red Shaw poled a tremendous drive to reach first base. He and Roy Hoffman scored a minute later, getting around on .hree foul balls.
 In the first of the second, Jim Orme went up in the air but man. aged to finish the inning in the box with the aid of Chief Mulvihill and a fire ladder. However, before the Company I lads could make the necessary seven putouts, Frank Heincke, Ken Junge, Bob Duck worth, and Kelly Blake crossed the plate and Umpire-Climber Dolly Gray, despite being put out of the game three times by Ump Forsythe, managed to get into the batters box long enough to hit home run.
