BASE BALL FARMS
GRIEF TO GRIFFITH
Game Would Be Better Of
Without Them, He Says.
'Nooga Is Liability.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
~HATTANooGA. Tenn, June:
9.-Farm systems are nee
essary evil of base ball, Clark
Griffith, owner Of the Wash
ington Senators and Chattanooga
Lookouts of the Southern Association,
declared today.
The floundering last-place Lookouts
are causing an acute ache in the
white-thatched head of the veteran
American League mogul
"My honest opinion is that base
ball in general would be far better off
without farms" he said in an inter-
view. Interest in the minor leagues
would be much keener."
Farm Not Profitable.
"RUT," he deplored, I'VE can't get
away from them now"
Because the rich major league
clubs have built up extensive systems,
the other clubs are forced to maintain
what farms they can for protection.
don't believe the game ever will out
grow them"
He lamented that 1--WE just can't get
out of farm what we put into it,
About the only exceptional ball
players we ever got from Chattanooga
are Buddy Lewis and Cecil Travis" he
said.
And what we have put into it
OH" he grimaced
Griffith thinks the depression was
the father of the farming system.
Help for Minors Necessary.
MINOR league clubs simply had
to have help from the majors
If they were to continue in existence"
he said. When I came into Chatta-
nooga in 1880 the club had to have
help or give up its franchise. That
was only one of a hundred similar
cases"
However" he added, some Of these
connections are very pleasant We
have been happy here in Chattanooga
and hope to remain so. Also, we have
good stand in Charlotte, N. c."
These are the only two teams
owned by Washington" Griffith said,
although the club has connections"
at Sanford and Jacksonville. Fla;
Trenton, N. j., and Salisbury, N. c.

Buck NeWsom was the Washington

fell fiat at the very moment when
Harris was counting upon the Tiger
men to help his club.
Rain yesterday prevented the open

but it caused no great weeping and
gnashing of teeth in the Mats camp.
It merely meant that Washington's S

Jimmy De Shong was scheduled 70

Elon Hogsett as his opponent. Bucky
NeWsom is TO wind up the series here

yesterday, are set for the Sox set. Who
Harris will pitch in the final Of the

Vast Sums Are Sought
BY Congress Members
International News Service


Demand of members for huge
new appropriations, together with
the ever-present problem of relief
and necessity of providing funds
to carry out projects authorized
last year at a cost of 1000 million
dollars, today imperiled economy
plans of congressional leaders.
Fresh from the campaign plat
forms where they defended the
Administrators spending pol
icy," members of both Senate and
House proposed that the Federal
Government embark upon new
ventures.
Increased pensions for widows
and orphans of World War vet
erans, increases for Spanish War
veterans, higher old-age pensions
and extensive power projects were
among the proposals which would
entail an ultimate cost of probably
5000 million dollars.
While President Roosevelt has
made known that he is driving
for a balanced budget and there
will be an economy bloc" in both
Senate and House, leaders were
frankly doubtful that huge sums
can be saved in the Seventy-fifth
Congress.

MellOn'S Gift Hailed
BY Art COnnOiSSeWcS

1t brings to Washington some of
the very notable objects which
were secluded for many years
from the general public in the
Hermitage collection in Petr0-
grad.
"While it is impossible to
make a final estimate of the
value of this great gift until We
see it installed, there is no queS-
ton but that it is the largest
single American art foundation
established in our time"
Prof. Hutchins has travelled ex,
tensively abroad and is considered
an authority on art collections.
SEE CONGRESS FAVOR
That Congress will speedily &C
cept the Mellon gift was indicated
by Senator John H. Bankhead, ID
of Alabama, brother Of the
Speaker of the House, who said:
81 will be very glad to take
part in the immediate accept
ance of this great gift. / think
it is a wonderful contribution to
art.
1T will be very fortunate, es-
pecially for persons of limited
incomes, who will be able to see
the worlds finest paintings with
out having to go abroad. 1t is
splendid cultural development"
"REFLECTS PATRIOTISM"
Senator William Gibbs McAdoo
declared:
1T is superb and it reflects
great credit on Melons patriot
ism. Washington is already, in
my opinion, the most beautiful
city in the world. This gift will
further enhance its beauty. 1t is
of greatest value in making
Washington the art center Of the
world"

Count POtOCki,
Hunt Master
In Dispute

On the fine points of fox-hunt-
ing as practised in old Virginia
today is painfully impaled another
international question.
Down in the Loudoun valley on
New Year Day, the Piedmont,
hat aristocratic organization in fox
and horse circles, held hunt and,
as a result, Count jerry Potocki
the Polish Ambassador to the
United States, and the Master of
the Piedmont, DR.. C. A. Randolph,
have severed diplomatic relations.
A guest of the Piedmont, Count
Potocki is alleged to have made
the indelicate error of leading the
field when he came to ride with
them at Upperville. Virginia Gus
tom has it that the master OF the
hunt should lead the field.
When the ambassador reined
in hard after being shouted at,
he was told by DR.. Randolph that
his fleet riding not only was not
nice fox-hunting. but wasn't even
cricket"
Count Potocki is reported by
other huntsmen to have replied,
in a dry voice, that in Poland
when gentlemen went hunting
the principal aim of the day was
to catch the fox.
Personally, Count Potocki would
have greatly enjoyed capturing
the brush" on this New Year Day
There were more words and
some of the rs blue-bloods who
sided with the ambassador left
the field with him.

reelection as Speaker of the House
when that body organizes to-
morrow.
Although some rumors have
been heard that a dark horse"
might ge the House leadership be
cause of a deadlock, other candi-
dates have withdrawn from the
field and are supporting either
Rayburn or O'Connor.
One factor in the race which has
aroused bitter controversy is the
position taken by Vice President
Garner on behalf of Rayburn.
Several weeks ago Garner declared
he was 1900 per cent for Sam Ray
burn"
The question in the minds of a
number of Democratic members
who have not committed them
selves is whether they should con-
slider this mandate from the Ad-
ministration or an encroachment
on the prerogatives of the House by
an officer of the Senate.
Issue Important
The latter issue i; not to be
dismissed lightly. Throughout the
years there has been a keen ri
valry between the House and the
Senate over the separate duties
and responsibilities.
Many a measure has been tied
up in conference because one or
the other of the different bodies
thought they would be giving
away some of their constituted
authority in yielding.
This SchiSm has been more
vocal in the House than in the
Senate. The Senate usually lies
back while the House inaugurates
a measure confident in it's ability
to take care of the situation be-
cause they get the last whack at
such legislation as taxes and ap,
preparations.
Evidence of the degree to which
the uncommitted group is waver,
ing can be found daily in the
Speakers office. He has been ap,
preached on numerous occasions
by members who ask for some in
dication from him as to how to
vote.
Up to the last he has determined
