Shone rs Talent Hunter.

WHILE the Southern Association Is
w not rated as fast as the Inter-
national and Pacific Coast Leagues or
the American Association, Griffith is
convinced that the Dixie circuit Is
capable Of grooming players for the
big leagues. He points out the cases
of such players as Buddy Myer, Cecil
Travis, Buddy Lewis and others who
have come directly from the Southern
and made good for Washington.
Engel, who pitched for Washington
in 1928, returned in 1919 to serve
as scout. Colorful on the ball field,
although lack Of control prevented
him from sticking in the majors as
pitcher, Engel retained his color and
was tagged the lone scout" by sports
writer's.
As q talent hunter Engel provided
outstanding cogs in many winning
Washington clubs. He dug up Bucky
Harris from the International League
and Ossie Bluege from the Three
Eye League. 1t was Engel, too, who
sent Washington a mediocre inf1eld-
er from Kansas City named Joe Gro
min and then watched his protege
develop into the shortstop who was
sold for base balls record price of
s250,000. Joe Kuhel, Buddy Myer,
Pat Charity, Sammy West and Earl
McNeely were other Engel products.
To Remain as Director.
WHEN Washington bought the
w Chattanooga club in 1880 Engel
was installed as president and, as
such. he distinguished himself by
trading a shortstop for Christmas
turkey, placing canary cages in the
grandstand. importing elephants and
clowns for pre-game circuses and
molding winning teams. With his
multiple duties, however, he was un-
able to maintain his former pace as
. scout, although. in recent years he
sent up two highly priced youngsters
In Travis and Lewis.
Now. Griffith hopes, his scouting
department will function as of yore
and the benefits of the new farm
system TO be inaugurated soon will
be noted. The new manager at Chat
tanooga, incidentally, will be Clyde
Milan. one-time outfelding star with
the Nationals. Milan succeeds Bert
Niehofi. Engel, incidentally, remains
as q director Of the Chattanooga
team.

ENGEL TO DIRECT
CHAIN IN MINORS
Cal Griffith Will Succeed
Scout as President of
Chattanooga Club.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

~LIMAXING one Of the Wash
ington ball clubs liveliest off,
season business sessions in
~ recent years, President Clark
Grifhth yesterday announced the in
stallation OF q new farm system for
the Nationals under the direction OF
Joe Engel, one-time scout de luxe.
As a result Of sweeping administra-
ton changes, Engel. president OF the
Chattanooga club of the Southern As
sociation since 1880, today will close
his desk in the Tennessee township
and assume a job described by Grifith
Is general manager Of the Washing
ton clubs scouting and farm system"
Succeeding Engel as head man OF the
Lookouts will be 25-year-old Calvin
Griffith, adopted son of the Nationals
boss and former vice president and
secretary of the club over which he
now presides.
As "starting-off present" again
using Griff's words, the Old Fox also
announced that he was turning over
to Son Calvin an entire outfield COM
posed OF Dee Miles. Roberto Estalella
and Howard MacFarland, all salvaged
from the recent sale of the Albany
club by Joe Cambria to the Giants.
The three outfielders will go on option.
explained Griff. and eventually he pre-
dicted all will come to Washington for
trials.
Closing the days business, the sign
ing of Pitcher Jimmy De Shong, 1s-
game winner in 1886, and Outfielder
Beverly Ferrell. drafted from the
Georgia Florida League, also was men,
toned.
Mats Farm" Set-up Weak.
THE shifting of Engel from president
Of the Lookouts to general man
ager Of the scouting department Is
interpreted as meaning that Washing
tons base ball Arm finally is following
the policy of virtually every other
major league team and organizing a
widespread farm" system to insure
the development of players from the
time they start in a small class G or
d league until they are deemed ready
for the final step to the big show.
Heretofore the Cardinals. Reds, In
dians. White Sox and Yankees have
led the way in establishing modern
chain-store systems, and in recent
years such clubs as the Red Sox and
Gaints have taken noticeable steps
in the same direction. Left in the
rear were the Athletics and Nationals.
especially when Albany Of the Inter-
national League was sold. The Wash
tngton team did not own Albany. but
Grif1ith had a working agreement
with Cambria, who had been supply
ing the Nationals with most of its
rookie talent.
According to plans outlined yester-
day by Griffith. Chattanooga will form
the hub of the Washington clubs
farming" system, and will be aug
mented by several smaller league
clubs. including Sanford Of the
Georgia State loop and Jacksonville
of the Sally League. Players who
show promise in the smaller loops
will be promoted to Chattanooga, and
If they continue to develop. eventual
" will be moved to Washington.

JURY TO PROBE
TRADER DEATH

SNOW HILL, Md, Feb. l..
While authorities surrounded the
identity of witnesses in a. thick
veil of secrecy, preparations went
ahead today for presentation of
the mysterious fatal shooting of
Clarence J. Trader. utilities opera
tor, to the grand jury.
Mrs. Jeanette Trader, the widow,
was taken in custody over the
week end at her home in Stock
ton and brought here for question
ing. She was later permitted to
return to her home.
This development came unex-
pectedly on the heels of a fast
trip to the Trader home by Sheriff
Ernest West. 1t was reported that
lie detecting" apparatus will be
used on several of the witnesses in
the strange case.
States Attorney Thomas F.
Johnson declined to reveal the
names of witnesses, although it is
understood that results of the lie
tests" will be completed in time
for presentation at the grand jury
session today.

i. 5. PAY BILL
LAID BEFORE
PRESIDENT
White House Support
on Measure Seen BY
Senator McCarran

Senator McCarran, of Nevada,
left the White House today with
considerable enthusiasm for his
bill granting wholesale increases
to Government employees, parti-
cularly those in the lower brackets.
The Nevada Senator had q long
talk with President Roosevelt on
the subject and, while he would
not directly quote Mr.. Roosevelt,
Senator McCarran said he had
received the impression that there
would be Administration support
for his measure.
It is understood that the Presi-
dent also suggested to Senator
McCarran the idea that increases
of pay and a more scientific Civil
Service system of classification
and examination should also be
included in any general legisla-
ton covering the status Of Gov
ernment employees.
Efficiency Is Wanted

desires that along with better
working conditions and better sal
aries there should be guarantee
to the Government as to the eff
cheney on the part Of the army
of Government employees.
This would mean, it was eX-
planned at the White House, that
there would be no such thing as
a guarantee of a lifetime job
for Government employees unless
there is some system adopted by
the Civil Service Commission to
maintain efficiency.
Senator McCarran thinks that
the matter Of efficiency should be
administered by the Civil Service
Commission or by the Civil Service
Administration if Congress ap-
proves the change as recon-
mended by the President.
Senator William Bulow CD, OF
South Dakota, committee chair
man. today reiterated his assur.
ance that as soon as the Civil
Service Commission complies with
his request for a statement on its
reaction to the proposal. he will
call his committee for the open
ing of hearings.

NLRB ACTION
PAVESWAYF FOR
AMENDMENT
Constitution Change
Due IF Board Wins,
Madden Asserts
International News Service


A constitutional amendment
will be necessary if the National
Labor Relations Board deals ef-
fectively with cases of alleged sup
preston of collective bargaining
rights as disclosed by the La Fol
lette civil liberties committee,
Chairman J. w. Madden Of the
board informed a House appro.
priations subcommittee in testl-
mony made public today.
Outlining work Of the board,
Madden pointed out that many
complaints of unfair labor prac-
tices have been dismissed by the
board as involving purely local
matters. He continued:
"The difficulty, of course, h
the constitutional and legal diff
ficulty as to the extent to which
the Federal Government itself
does have control over these
things"
Madden was referring to the
La Toilette committee inquiry into
labor spies.
81 think that the decisions Of
the Supreme Court in our cases
will throw some further light
on the question Of what the
powers Of Congress are. But 1
think it is only frank to say
that If Congress wants to handle
these situations effectively 1t has
to have more power.
'Tt may be it will have to get
that power by constitutional
amendment, broadening its con-
troll over these really national
industrial problems"
Madden told the subcommittee
that work of the labor board will
increase greatly if the Supreme
Court upholds constitutionality Of
the law.

Child Wedding Stirs
East Tennessee

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. /
ON. s.. East Tennessee's city
and town people we're up in arms
today against the child marriage
of Eunice Winstead-but the g.
year-old backwoods bride was bliss
fully unaware of the furore.
In her mountain cabin home
near Sneedville, she put aside a
doll, clambered into the arms of
her lanky husband and gravely
eyed an interviewer, and said:
Charles Johns. the 6-foot, %
year-old mountain youth who two
weeks ago espouSed Eunice, stroked
her honey-colored hair and rocked
her in his split bottom, handmade
chair.
The two-room cabin was scrubbed
clean. 1t was crowded with beds
and the beds were crowded with
mountain folks, Charley Johns
folk, who are now Eunice Win
Stead's folk.
All EaveSdrOpperS
An air of backwoods reticence
enveloped the place. but here and
there a linsey quilt, fashioned by
the needles of the Johns women,
was raised to disclose a listening
ear and a peeping eye.
II have cared for Charley ever
since l was a little girl, He's
been awfully good to me-"
Eunice remarked, as though
years were packed into her mem
ory.
"Why, he used to rock me to
sleep when he came to see me.
I've known him almost three
years. now. and we've played
together nearly every day"
The child-bride amended the
last sentence, smilingly eager to
explain
That is-every day we didn't
have to farm"
Then she looked to her father
in-law, sitting across the room IN
another homemade rocker, for ap-
proval.
Mother Opposes Wedding
Father Johns rocked more
rapidly.
He said:
Eyes, guess that's so. I al
ways thought Charley was run
ming across the creek to see Mr..
and Mrs. Winstead, but I guess
that was wrong. These two
youngsters sort of put one over
on the old folks"
Charley Johns mother and
sister were in the nearest double
bed, well-covered by quilts, and
they declined to get up to meet
the interviewer.
Neither Johns put her night
capped head up over the quilts
edge and said, emphatically:
81 just don't believe in these
child marriages. Why, 1 was
past FL when / was married,
and all my three married girls
were 20 years old or more"
She paused to let this informa-
ton sink in-as though her young
daughter-in-law might learn from
it Then she took the sting out
of her words with:
"Still, there simply isn't any
use of all this to-do about the
children getting married. It's
over now. For my part, I'd
rather it hadn't happened. But
want my boy to be happy, and
I expect he is. Eunice is a pert
little thing and she will learn
fast"
