WAGE-HOUR BILL,
LABOR BOARD HIT.
Rankin Says Roosevelt Is
MiSinf0rmed in Thinkinu
Relations Body Fair.
BY the Associated Press.

Representative Rankin, Democrat,
Of Mississippi, co-author OF the Ten
nessee Valley Authority. renewed his
attack on the Labor Relations Board
today with statement also criticizing
the administrations wage and hour
bill.
Commenting on President Roose-
velt's statement that he believed the
board was dealing fairly with both
capital and labor. Rankin said:
THE President has evidently been
misinformed. If he knew the facts
concerning the outrages that have
been and are now being perpetrated
by representatives of the board in con-
junction with communistic influences,
if he were familiar with the ruthless
inquisitions to which small manufac-
turers are now being subjected, If he
knew of the brutal treatment meted
out to innocent, law-abiding citizens by
this unholy combination under the
pretense that they are backed by the
administration, believe he would call
halt at once"
Earlier in the week the Mississippian
charged the board with attempting
to destroy Southern industry.
If the activities of this so-called
Labor Relations Board are not
checked" he said, land the wages and
hours bill now before the Senate
passes in its present form, and both
should be upheld by the Supreme
Court, it would probably mean the
end of human liberty as we know it
as we'll as the end of constitutional
government in this country"
Rankin appealed to Southern and
Western Senators to save the day by
! sending the wages and hours bill back
to the committee and letting it remain
there till the next session, or until 1t
Rankin said on the floor of the
House that he had received protests
against activities of the Labor Board
from every State in the Union with
in the last 36 hours"
He asserted that representatives of
the board were promoting strikes in
the South"

that when the IS per cent reduction
was put into effect on July /. 1894.
1t was made retroactive for II months
prior to that date because OF the ir-

The ruling was made by Auditor
Daniel Donovan, who had been asked
by Edward H. Grove, registrar of the
Water Department, whether bills sent
out after July l should be at the
regular rate or provide for the IS per
cent reduction which had been in ef-
feet since 1894. The reason for this
request was because Congress had re-
moved the Is per cent reduction In

FRANK MANCUSO' JOINS LITTLE GIANT" E A R M

HOUSTON. Tex, March II. = Eighteen-year-old Frank Mancuso will take a turn at pro baseball with Jersey City and increase to six the number of backstopping Mancusos, including Gus of the National League champion New York Giants.
 The father and Iour brothers were squatting behind the bat be- fore sandlotter Frank signed with the Giants Jersey City.
 Gus, of course, is the Giants first-string mitt man. He's broth CT. Of Frank, Gus says: That boys got it. He's already developed a real knack for catching and has a style all his own"
 It was as much Gus, however. as it was Franks style that got Franks contract with the Jersey club.
 Catching is either catching or hereditary in the Mancuso family.
 The father, now dead, was a fine amateur backstopper in Houston and Beaumont, Tex. Steve, 36, the eldest son, had a turn on the sand lot behind the bat Then came Gus. Lawrence managed from be- hind the plate the amateur team that won the Texas Junior cham pionship last year. Leon is an amateur mitt man of local note.

Sport Stunts
-Dn RkP''

Labelled the best prospect in the Pacific Coast League in 36, Rob- ert Pershing Doerr also carried the stamp of approval of Eddie Collins to the Boston Red Sox camp at Sarasota, Florida.
 Last year, when the Sox were considering an opportunity to buy the 19-year-old second base sensa- tion, Collins made a trip to the coast to look the youngster over. He saw enough to be convinced that Doerr would fit in nicely around the keystone sack. Certainly, Eddie should recognize second -baseman when he sees one-Collins was just about the best ball-player who ever kicked up the dust around second. He was as smart as they come.
 Despite Doerr's inexperience, Col lins believes the boy is ready to cov- CT the bag A bit of new life wouldn't do the Boston Millionaires any harm.
 Doerr began his diamond career at IA when he joined an American Legion team in Los Angeles. This team, with Doerr playing a major role, won state and regional cham pionships When Doerr was l6, Bill Lane, owner of the San Diego club, then operating under the Holly wood franchise), signed him up. That was in 1884 when Lanes team was battling Old Man Depression and was forced to take on lot of low-salaried talent.
 Oscar Witt, then manager of the club, sent Bobby to second in a practice session. Witt was satisfied the youth had the makings of a real ball-player, so he assigned him to second for the remainder of the season. For the next two years Bobby held the job. Then along came Tom Yawkey with his check book. At 19, Doerr is faced with a golden opportunity-a chance to win a regular berth on the high-geared Red $ox machine.
 Doerr is natural ball-player. He weighs ITO pounds, lacks an inch of being a 6-footer. He has real baseball series, is fast on his feet, is blessed with a powerful throwing arm.
 He has shown steady improve ment in batting In 1884 he hit .259, boosted his mark to .317 in 1885 and .341 in 1886. He led Coast League batters with 237 hits last season. Too, he stole 28 bases. He topped the leagues second basemen in total chances handled, when he took care of 903. Only B of these did he misplay, and that gave him an average of 965. If he can main tain his pace in the big show, Man lager Joe Cronin's second base wor- ries win be over,

Calf. Coaches Seeking Limit
 on Tip-off Use
Southern Division Mentors Have Arguments Primed
 for Chicago Hoop Confab

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March H. With elimination of the tip-off play as their goal. coaches of Pacific Coast Conference basketball teams in California are headed for Chi cago for the session of the Ameri- can Basketball Coaches Association there on Monday and Tuesday.
 The California Coaches hope to influence the Association to do away with the center-j jump except at the start of each half and after suc- cessfully converted double foul shot. Their argument is that elimination of the tip-off. besides speeding the play, has reduced injuries in the Southern Division of the Coast Con ference.
 The Southern Division has done without the center-jump for the past two seasons, but the Northern Division still retains it.

BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
 TO BE HELD
Mooted Question May Be Decided In Denver
 March l4-20
By LouDON KELLY

DENVER, Col, March 11.-That perennial football argument-can a good professional team beat good college man?-has parallel in basketball.
 Can a top-ranking college quintet hold its own with a first-class A. A. U. independent outlIC?
 The answer rendered in the Na- tional A.A.U. tournament, recog- nized as basketballs world series, seems to be mo" At least, it has been no for the last 10 years.
 Not since Washburn college of Topeka, Kansas, drove to the title in 1925 has collegiate team won the national Moreover, only four college teams have triumphed since the national tourney was started in 1899-Utah University in 1916, New York University in 1920, Butler Uni versity of Indianapolis in 1924 and Washburn. This years tournament will be held in Denver Mach 14-20.
 The odds against a colleges teams winning basketball's bright est blue ribbon are heavy, says Ev- erett Shelton, coach of the Denver Sideways of the Missouri Valley A.AU. league. Shelton formerly coached at Phillips University of Oklahoma.
 College Boys Too Young
 The crack independent teams, such as those Of the A.A.U. leagues, have too great an advantage, not only in the fact they can hand pick the college stars after gradua- tion, but also in the maturity of their performers, Shelton says.
 "The average college star is too young and generally too little to stand up against top man on an independent team," he says. The independent team--a good one has superior coordination because its players are older-nearer their peak.
 Often you'll see a young player "a flash in college-get no place in his first year in A.A.U. basket ball. Probably that's because he's not matured vet Give him a few years and he may be even better than he was in college
 Shelton names Omar (Bud) Brow ming of Oklahoma University, chos- en All-America forward at the 1885 and 1886 national championships, as an exception to the rule involving most college players.
 Bigger Men Grow Slowly
 But Browning is a small man as basketball players go.' the Safe way coach says. "A taller, bigger man generally natures much slow er."
 He named Bob Gruening, his 6-foot-8-inch center and the lead ing scorer among pivot men in the Missouri Valley league this season, as an example.
 "Gruenik didn't start playing bas- ketball until he was senior in high school" Shelton points out. He's g now and improving every season. Yet I don't think he's reached his peak"
 Shelton thinks many college teams have an edge on otherwise superior independent outfits in spirit and intestinal fortitude."
 An independent team with col lege spirit--that's the prize win ming combination" he says. That's the kind of team we have this year"
