In the victory the Giants thin man

reminiscent of the last time the Terry
men were in a world series. That
would be in 1888, when the Senators
were favored to beat them and went
down in a fve-game set, with only
Earl Whitehill winning for Wash

First, for all of the early in

It Wasn't lust Hubhell.

IT MUST be said they bore no re-
semblance to the ultimate victors
IN that initial affray yesterday, how
ever, they were up against tougher
pitching than they could muster, It's
true, but they also suffered in COM
parison with their rivals in the matter
Of direction, imagination and plain
mechanical execution, topped off by a
school-boy exhibition of fielding in
the eighth when their defense
crumbled along with a fast-tiring
Ruf1ng and the Giants slipped over
four runs to clinch the verdict.
After George Selkirk, doubt of
whose ability to hit southpaw style
against the equally left-handed Hub
bell influenced Manager Mccarthy at
the last minute to drop him to eighth
place in the batting order, lined a
homer into the upper right field stand
to give the Yanks a one-run lead in
the third, they were completely baked
at every turn.
They threatened again that inning
with two down, when Rolfe and Di
Maggie singled in succession. only to
have the mighty Lou Gehrig, held
hitless all afternoon, roll weakly to
the box.
Again in the fourth, an opening was
presented when Washington's own
Jake Powell raped out the double
he compiled along with two singles,
but this was frittered away, after
Lazzeri walked. when the always
overly ambitious Powell failed on the
front end of double steal.
Powell-Hero and Goat.
POWELL'S third hit in round
seven was nullified when Selkirk
drilled into force play, and the
biggest Yankee chance of all went
aglimmering in the eighth when,
after Crosetti opened with double
and Rolfe got life as his sacrifice
was fumbled by Kubbell, two of the
mightiest of the Yanks encountered
bitter frustration-Di Maggie by
swatting into double play and Dickey
by being held to an ,infield roller with
Gehrig on first through being hit with
q pitched ball and Crosetu waiting
vainly on third.
Rumng proved tough foeman for
Hubbell until Dick Bartell picked out
one to his liking in the fifth and
parked it in the upper reaches of the
stand in left to tie the score, and
Mancuso came through with a single,
following Otis double in the follow
ing frame for the lead that never
was relinquished.
The big blow-of came in the
eighth, however, after successive sim
giles by Terry and OFT, followed by
Ripple's neat sacrifice, set the stage.
Here Rufing gave further evidence
Of his weakening by walking Man.

run. Jackson's long fly to Di Maggie

Rain to Prove Undoinq.

Rain eventually will spell defeat
for the Italians In Ethiopia, according
to Josef Israel, newspaper cor.
respondent and newsreel photogra-
pher, who recently returned from the
war zones in North Africa, and who
spoke last night before the National
Geographic Society in Constitution
Hall.
Because the Italians depend on
heavy trucks for the food supplies
and ammunition at advanced posts,
transportation will become extremely
difficult after the so-called heavy
rains begin in April. Usually the
heavy rainy season continues for six
months, he said.
Another factor, Israels said, Is ma
laria. which is already taking its toll
among the troops from Italy.
He praised the Ethiopians as SOL
diers and good marksmen. There are
about $4,000, he said, who are ex-
pertly trained. Another 250,000 have
had some training under European
officers. The remainder, he said, are
disorganized tribesmen, under native
chiefs.

Throughout Country.

Part-time jobs are being provided
by the National Youth Administration
for l,240 high school, college and
graduate students in the District of
Columbia, while similar aid is being
given by the Government to 290,0l7
students throughout the country.
In announcing the results OF the
program, Director Aubrey w. Williams
reported that in the District there are
4l6 high school students, 765 college
students and SO students in graduate
work who are being paid small MONTH
ly stipendS. High school students re-
ceive $6 monthly, college students, SIS.
while graduate students are earning
from SIS to $50 q month.
For Maryland, 1929 students are re-
ceiving Federal aid, while In Virginia
the number totals 4.525.
The total cited for the District is
estimated, Williams said, as reports
have not been received from all the
colleges and universities participating
in the program. The 166.347 high
school students throughout the coun-
try receiving part-time work are
mostly from families on local relief
rolls and the same is true among q
majority of the 1889 undergraduate
students. Among the 4,78l graduate
college students are many Of high at
tainmentS who are engaged in i'm
portant research work and studies.
We have a number of young men
of demonstrated mental capacity for
college work who would have been
denied seeing the inside Of 8 univer-
sity had it not been for the Federal
grant" Director Williams said.
Many of the jobs done by high
school students throughout the county
are patrolling traffic near schools be-
fore and after classes: repairing worn
textbooks. athletic and playground
equipment and assisting in libraries
and lunch rooms.
