Not even the searching eyes of
Signal Corps motion picture
cameras settled the controversy
that has ragged across the land for
the past week over Cadet Hank
SulliVan's interference with Bob
Antrim of Navy, in the football
game at the SeSqui-centennial
Stadium on November %.
TIL Army-Navy game as caught
by the cameras was screened at
the Capitol Theatre before an in
vited audience this morning. In
the group of more than 200 guests
were officers of the Army and
Navy who came prepared to shake
a finger at their rivals in the Serv-

Memories Of Miami Trip
Will Linger In Minds
Of Hoya Eleven
By HARRY COSTELLO

ENRoUTE TO WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Georgetown Uni
versitys football trip to Miami Fla will down in history
the greatest of all Hoya grdiron excursions From the
time of their arrival to the of their departure the
Hoyas treated royalty by the Blue and Gray alumni and
civic officials of paradise paradise divided into three

The Washington times., 1936-12-05

For instance, it was only fitting
that the team which so early in
the season established its leader
ship, the New York Yankees,
should survive to hold the unique
record of being the only team to
score Is runs in a single game. It
is almost as fitting that those
runs should be scored against
their weak brethren, the Phila-
delphia Athletics. All of this hap
pened on May "a right before the
very noses of the Quaker City
fans.
Two Big, Big Scores
Detroit and Chicago were tied
In the next most impressive Scor-
ing streak, when the former sunk
its fangs in the latter to the tune
of 81 to 6, whereas Chicago itself
succeeded in burying the Athletics
by 81 to 14-Heaven pity the Off
cial scorer!
Yes sir, freakish as it sounds,
Chicago was beaten by 81 runs
and also scored that number
against an opposing team.
Then Chicago enjoyed other
heavy-scoring games, getting 10
against the Browns and the
Athletics while Hornsby'S boys
were getting 7 and the Mack
men 6.
The Yankees also rang the bell
In the 19-run class, dropping the
Tigers 10 to 4, and Cleveland de-
feated the Athletics 19 to l in an
eight-inning effort.
Yanks Are Consistent
The Yankees were consistent in
their heavy-scoring games, crash
inE the 18-run column twice, once
against Chicago which got II runs
the while and once against Cleve-
land which was White-Washed on
the particular occasion.
Detroit beat Philadelphia 18 to
Q and st. Louis by the same score.
Boston once got 18 runs to De-
troit'S three.
washington comes into the
hard-scoring class by dint of its
17-to-1 landslide over St. Louis.
Chicago beat Philadelphia, II to
2, and Cleveland humbled Chicago
by q similar count. Oh, there
were some hitting and running
stampedes during that top-heavy
1896 race!
In the 16-run niche, we find:
st. Louis is, Cleveland IL; Boston
16, Chicago 4; Chicago 16, New
York 8; Boston Is, Philadelphia 2;
Chicago 16, Washington S; Cleve-
land 16, Philadelphia 3; New York
IS Detroit 6; St. Louis Is, Chicago
4; New York 16 Philadelphia 2.

Washington Furthermore scored
IS runs in one game, IA runs in
two games, 13 runs in four games,
IL runs in three games, IL runs in
eight games, and 10 runs in six
games. Washington also Tailed 10
runs or more in 25 of it's games.
New York and Cleveland, how
ever, took the bit in their teeth a
bit harder than any of the other
clubs In the league. The Yanks

IN CASE OF TIE VOTE

Another question often asked is
what would happen if the vote
should be a tie, or neither candidate
had a majority of the, electoral
votes. In that case, the House of
Representatives would have to elect
the President.
One of the reasons why the lat
est amendment to the Constitution
provides that. the new Congress to
be elected November 3 shall take
office on January 3, while the new
President does not 60 in until Janu-
uary 20, is that in case of a tie in
the presidential vote it will be the
new Congress and not the old one
which would elect the new Presi-
dent.
The House of Representatives is
limited in its choice, in such a case,
to the candidates for whom elect
oral votes of states have been cast,
but it is not bound in any way by
the size of the popular vote of any
candidate.

Factory Pay Roll Is Higher In Caroljnas
Jobs
Employment During
August Shows Big Gain
Over Preceding Month

Washington.-The pay roll of
North Cardinals industrial estab-
lishments increased 81 per cent
during August over the month
previous as 150,961 workers called
for their checks. In South Caro-
lima factory pay rolls increased 2.6
per cent in August over July.
The Bureau of Labor statistics
said that North Carolina's 1887
establishments paid salaries to IA
per cent more workmen during
July than the month previous
while total wages aggregated ST.
234,977. In South Carolina where
748 industrial plants were survey
ed, ; per cent more workmen were
On the job during August than in
July and factory pay rolls today
965,s16. The survey, however,
did not include building construc-
ton, therefore the total pay rolls
are not complete industrial wage
payment.
The bureau attributed the gain
in the Carolinas largely to increas-
ed employment in cotton mills and
dyeing and finishing plants. The
textile industry employment rolls
in August increased 4.S per cent
over July, while salary disburse-
ments in the same comparative
period increased 80 per cent.
A substantial increase in factory
employment in the nation between
July and August combined with
gains in 10 of the 16 non-manu-
featuring industries surved mouth
lly by the U. S. Bureau Of Labor
eStat;sf;csres,ssr ia a-neais,say
lI66, 900 workers Ii these combined
industries over the month interval,
and weekly pay rolls in these in
dustries increased by approximately
$7,3o0,0OO Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins announced.
"The gains in the nations fac
tory employment and pay rolls
were widespread, II of the 80
manufacturing industries surveyed
reporting increases in number of
workers and weekly pay rolls over
the month interval" Secretary
Perkins said.
"The increase of 2.3 per cent in
the factory employment indicates
the return of approximately 1885,
900 workers to jobs in the manu-
industries and marks the
seventh consecutive month in
which gains have been reported.
The August, 1886, employment in
dex (SS.7) exceeds the level shown
in any month since September
1880. The increase of Al per cent
in pay roll index (S1.o) to the
maximum recorded since October,

A comparison of aggregate en-
ployment in the combined manu-
featuring and nan-manufacturing
industries between August, 1885,
and August, 1886, shows an in
crease of approximately 100000
workers over the year interval.
Weekly wage disbursements were
more than s41,5O0,OOo greater in
August, 1886, than in the cores
ponding month of last year.

IHE E~LEcToRAL VOTE

A question frequently asked IS
whether electors chosen on the Re-
publican ticket could vote for the
Democratic candidates. The ans
wer is that there is nothing what
ever in the law to prevent them
from doing SO. They are free
agents, chosen by the people of
their state to vote for the candidate
for President and Vice-President.
On November ;, as a matter of
legal fact, nobody will be elected
President. Only presidential electors
will be CHOSEN, varying in number
from New York's AZ to the three
each of Arizona, Nevada and
Wyoming.
The actual election of President
and Vice-President takes place
when the electors, chosen on Nov
ember ;, have met and East their
ballots. The Constitution requires
the electors to meet in their several
states and declare their choice for
President and Vice-President, and
the number of electoral votes
which they give to each candidate.
They must hen sign, certify and
transmit their ballot, sealed, to the
President of the Senate, who then,
in the presence of the Senate and
the House of Representatives opens
these sealed envelopes and counts
the electoral votes from all the
states. The President of the SEN
ate, who is the Vice-President
holding over the preceding admin
istration, then declares who has
been elected President and Vice
President for the next four years.

in NATIONAL ELECTION

What most of these inquirers do
not quite understand is that no.
body votes directly for either Pre-
sident Or Vice-President. Presidents
and Vive-Presidents are not elected
by the people; they are elected by
the states, under the Constitution.
In each state the opposing parties
nominate presidential electors, and
on Election Day the people will
vote not for Roosevelt and Garner,
Or Landon and Knox, but for the
presidential electors nominated by
their respective parties. The num-
Der of electors in each state is the
same as the number of Senators and
Representatives which that state
has in Congress.
1t is this system of voting by
states for President and Vice-Pre-
sident instead of by direct popular
vote for the candidates that made
it possible for ten Presidents to be
elected who had fewer than a ma
jority of the popular votes.
For example, Mr.. Cleveland, ia
1884, carried many states by very
large majorities but his majority
of the popular vote in New York
State was less than 1000, so that
although this gave him a majority
of the presidential electors, he had
a minority of the nations popular
vote. The same thing occurred when
MIR. Wilson was elected President
in 1912. In that year, however,
the electoral vote was split be-
tween three candidates. Mr.. Taft
and Col. Roosevelt between them
had more popular votes than Mr..
Wilson had, but Mr.. Wilson got
the majority of the electoral votes.

Forty years ago in PoSen, Germ

years was to follow strange and
dangerous occupation. That child is
now Capt. John Hoffman. AS a child
he saw a trainer train and handle a
large group of male lions and in the
child grew a desire to know more OF
wild animals and their habits. In
his first encounter with lion he
was dragged from the arena, badly
mangled, more dead than alive, and
from that first encounter he learn
ed that all lions can not be trust
ed Captain Hoffman has climbed
the ladder of success in his chosen
field and today is recognized as one
of the greatest trainers of lions in
the world.
Superior in point of novelty to
any geological display heretofore
conceived and presented by this
famous circus. Here the child re-
ceives an object in natural history.
No woman OF, man can afford to
miss this opportunity of reviewing
this marvellous panorama of the lv-
ing, breathing, wild animal world
Capt. Hoffman will be in Pasco

give two performances on Monday,
July 9Th, afternoon and evening,
