Demonstration G a m e
At Berlin Stadium
August IL

Baseball has at last
crashed that greatest Of
all international compe-
titionS, the Olympics.
Two teams from the
United States will in
augurate the first regu-
larly scheduled Olympic
baseball game in the
Stadium at Berlin on
the afternoon Of August
18th.
Demonstration"
This game is classed
as a demonstration, but
according to Leslie
Mann, former big league
star and manager Of the
Olympic Baseball Pro
gram, it should prove to
be the means Of getting
baseball on a better in
ternational basis, as
well as getting it on the
active list in the 1910
games at Japan.
Twenty young anna
teurs from all parts Of
the United States COM
prise the two history
making teams. These
players were chosen un-
der the supervision Of
the Olympic Baseball
Congress, of which
Judge Hoffman, Of New
York, is president.
Ex-Yankee Star
Harry Wolters, Yam
kee star of long ago and
coach Of Stanford Uni
versity for the last is
years is in direct charge
of the training Of the
two teams. He expects
to play exhibit tt o n
games in England, Paris
and Holland, immedi-
ately after the Olympic
game.
The German Olympic
committee issued a
special invitation for
the United States to put
on the demonstration
of the national paStime.
At first it was hoped
that a team from Japan
and then one from
French Africa would
compete against the
American team, but
neither country could
assemble their teams,
assemble it's team, thus
leaving the entire field
to the United States.
Representatives from
the 26 baseball playing
nations of the world
will witness the game
and that evening will
meet to form the first
international Baseball
Congress.

In another decision Resettle-

KEPLER LEADS
FIRE PROBE

Deputy Fire Marshal j. R. KEEP
Ter today announced he would
make a thorough investigation Of
the premises at 500 H st. N. W.,
where a fire yesterday resulted in
the arrest of a man convicted of
distributing communistic litera'
ture.
Theman, who gave his name as
John Brown, of the 500 block, of
I St. N. W., was booked for inveS-
tigation at the First precinct after
a small blaze, had been quenched
in an office he had rented at the
H Street address.
Brown. who was fined last week
for passing out fred" propaganda
on r. ot1cuC, was absent from the
office at the time a fire in a
bundle of papers was discovered
by the building janitor. Charred
papers were turned over to the
Detective Bureau for investiga-
ton.
At the request of Deputy Fire
Marshal Kepler, Brown was ar
rested yesterday. Kepler said he
expected to get at the bottom Of
the matter today.

Ken M urray
Says:

There is a strong rumOr going
around that Washington has
sent out feelers to all the major
powers to see whether they'd
consider a conference to discuss
the worlds peace, economics
and armament reduction
Well, why not? Those boys on
the other side are always willing
to talk about peace at any price,
so long as Uncle Sam furnishes
the price.
1t is also said that a discus
sion of the tariff will be brought
up at the meeting 1t all
sounds so futile! Europe has
never yet been able to raise its
tariff walls high enough to keep
out the enemy'S bullets.
/ don't know why it is, but
ever since 1917 every admins
tratiOn has had a hankering to
mess around in foreign entangle-
mentS Looks like they can't
resist the temptation to try to
prove George Washington a liar.
Personally, 1 think we should
confine our European endeavorS
to the Olympic games The
only prize our diplomats ever
won in those international
meets was for holding the bag.

MILK PACT
Independent Dairymen
Rebel at Proposed
AAA Control

Through court suits and bal
lots in the coming election, indie
pendent dairymen in nearby
Maryland and Virginia propose a
fight to the finish if the Agri-
cultural Adjustment AdminiStra-
ton promulgates milk market
ing agreement for the Washing
ton milkshed.
This became apparent today
after reports reached the Capital
of undercover rebellion against
the farm agency'S proposal among
farmers near Frederick, Md, and
after Louis I. Oberth, local at
torney for the independent dairy
men, said his clients would seek
an injunction, if necessary, in the
District court here.
Farmers in several sections COW
cred by the tentative agreement
have openly warned that they will
swing many ballots away from the
Administration of Secretary of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace ap-
proves agreement.
Officials of the farm agency,
however, declared that before an
agreement could be put into eff
feet signatures would be required
from President Roosevelt, one-half
of the milk distributors in the
local milkshed and two-thirds of
the producers supplying milk to
the Washington market.
Besides affecting prices paid for
milk by both distributors and con-
sumers, the agreement now under
consideration would provide a
Federal administrator. to regulate
milk marketing in this region, in
dependent dairymen declared.

CUMMING TELLS
HOW TYPHOID
SECURED
D. c. Health Official
Explains Safeguard
For Times Readers

The Importance Of immuniza-
ton against typhoid fever, a dis
ease that breeds in dirt and pol
luton, was stressed today by DR..
James G. Cumming, chief of the
bureau of preventable diseases of
the Health Department of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Vaccination for typhoid, al
though still comparatively new,
has gone a long way toward re-
ducing the death rate from the
disease, he said.
Speaking for The washington
Times health protection series, the
health official pointed out that
if the same conditions prevailed
now that existed 80 years ago,
there would be 400 more deaths
each year from typhoid. AS it is,
there were only Is deaths out Of
70 cases of typhoid in 1885.
The publication of the water
supply ana Cne paSCeurlZaClOn OF
milk have been the chief factors
in the reduction of typhoid cases,
but the disease is still carried by
typhoid carriers, and the protec-
ton against this type of infection
is by immunization.
The last serious typhoid out
break in Washington, in 1922, was
Of carrier origin. It resulted from
a church supper, as a result Of
which A cases of typhoid de-
veloped, with four fatalities. The
disease at that time was carried
by two women who prepared the
potato salad for the supper.
Immunization against typhoid
fever is provided free by the Dis
trict Health Department to all per-
sons who cannot afford to pay a
private physician for the service.
The District vaccination clinic
is open to all persons on Wednes.
days and Saturdays between 10
a. m. and noon.

Smoky Joe" was what they
called him in the fire department,
although on the rolls he appeared
as Capt. Thomas Joseph Crimmins.
For Captain Crimmins never
used smoke mask. being able to
work in the thickest smoke with
out one. ....
twenty-five of the 80 years he
served in the department before
his retirement were passed at No.

times he was commended for brav-
cry.
In 1918 he saved the lives of
two persons, balancing perilously
on the top rung of a ladder too
short to reach them, but managed
to grasp their ankles and lower
them to safety.
Again he battled on roof top
with an insane mother who was
attempting to stab her son with a
pair of scissors, and managed to
diSarm her and save the life of the
boy.
For his work during the Knick-
erbocker disaster he was again
commended by the Commission

Struck on the head by a falling
ladder fighting a fire in Kenil-

that caused his retirement from

AGAIN ASSAILS
WPA HELP
INDISTRICT
Describes Work as Too
Uncertain; RaPs
Inefficiency

Sticking by her guns, Miss Siby1
Baker, supervisor of municipal
Fairgrounds, in a letter addressed
to Commissioner George E. Allen
today laid down another barrage
of criticism of the WPA work as
sistance furnished her depart
ment.
Fresh from an inspection tour
of works projects in "a States, Mr..
Allen yesterday wrote to Miss
Baker, asking an explanation OF
her critical statement of WPA con-
tanned in her department esti-
mates for the 1888 fiscal year.
In reply, Miss Baker reiterated
her former criticism and continued
her blasts against the emergency
works unit of the New Deal. At
the outset of her communication,
Miss Baker said two items in her
budget for the current fiscal year
were diSapproved by the Budget
Bureau and she was forced to rely
upon WPA projects. She then ex'
planned her critical statements:
"The statements made in re-
gard to the WPA program were
as follows: -. -. -. ... -.
PROGRAMS UNCERTAIN
"These programs are inevi.
tably uncertain. In the very
nature of the WPA program this
is true. The projects drafted
in February, 1885, and opened
up by the first assignment of
workers in December, 1885, have
materialized only partially.
This is inevitable where prof.
ectS of other agencies appear
of greater immediate Importance
and the available personnel is
not equipped for the work pro-
posed. Moreover, it is necessary
to adjust to the regular play
ground schedule an entirely diff
ferent and irregular assignment
of hours for WPA workers."
She explained that last April
when improvement projects were
proceeding regularly, "all these
projects were closed abruptly, H.
Guiding two playground houses on
which we had been permitted to
begin construction and for which
practically all materials were on
hand" Miss Baker continued:
This situation, which was
brought to your attention, Mr..
Commissioner, by my memo
randum of June Is, has re-
manned unchanged for over four
months and the houses con-
tinued to deteriOrate and to fur
niSh a dangerous hazard to the
children on the Mcmillan and
the New York Avenue Play
grounds"
WORK IS POOR
AS to her statement that the
WPA work is poor in quality"
Miss Baker declared:
cat no time have we expected
or received from WPA workers
the quality of work done by our
regular employees. The works
assignment division of our WPA
admittedly does not have on its
rolls highly trained recreatiOnal
leaders, clerks and skilled labor.
erS such as our projects call for.
