UuG crushing QlSdppOlnJmen
President Clark c. Griffith
walked through the marts of
trade carrying his wares. Other
merchants did business but, for
some reason or other, no one paid
the slightest heed to Griff and
Harris.
Beware of the Fox and the
ivory he offers" perhaps was the
slogan Of rival club owners.
Whether or not this was true,
the boys Steered clear of Griffith
and Harris /. When the local
leaders entrained for Milwaukee
it was thought that a deal would
be made for Joe Kuhel and Buddy
Myer, among others. Chicago
seemed to be the brightest pros
pect for baseball business But
Jimmy Dykes proved himself the
master barterer of the meeting.
He extracted Marvin Owen, sea-
soned third baSeman, and Gerry
Walker, sensational hitter, from
the Detroit Tigers, and made the
Bang-alls think that he had done
them a favor by shipping Vernon
Kennedy, Tony Piet and Dixie
Walker to Navin Field.
DICKEY A CLIMAX HITTER
The urge to trade was strong
upon Dykes, and Griff dangled
Kuhel and his capacious first base
mans mitt before the eyes Of the
Windy City round man, but all in
vain.
OF course, if Griff can lure Bill
Dickey away from New York,
everything will be great. The
Washington club would have a
climax hitter in the lineup. No
fence in the league is safe when
Dickey steps to the plate. That
the Yankees are willing even to
discuss trading Dickey must stand
as testimonial to the improve
ment in Joe Glenn, who has
warmed the bench for the greater
part of the last four or five sea-
sons. Glenn is a fine receiver and
probably is the best thrower in
baseball. He is a fair hitter.
There are capable requirements
among the youngsters scattered
throughout the various Yankee
subsidiaries, and Mccarthy must
think well of some of the boys
to even consider a trade for his
master TnaSkman
BALL NOT TOO DEAD
A somewhat deader ball will be
used in 1888 in the big leagues, as
announced in Chicago yesterday.
The same ball that will be used
next year was tested last spring
in training games. The Griffs and
Red Sox used the new ball at
Sarasota, and, when we'll hit, the
new Spheroid cleared the fences
The Washington times., 1937-12-08

Sammy Baugh went to pass. As
he cut loose of the ball, he was
hit, awfully hard, just under the
right shoulder blade by a Giant
who timed his "shot" at Sammy,
if the Redskins are not exaggerat-
ing.
Sammy was knocked out. Time
was called, and for nearly two
minutes it was feared by the Red
skins that he would be unable to
resume play. However, Sammy
shook it off, and was right back
on the job.

Business Men Want Hearing on
Appropriation Stricken
From BUDGET.

The Southeast Business Mems AS
sociation has appealed to Senator
Thomas, chairman of the Senate Ap-
propriations Subcommittee, in charge
Of the District supply bill, for hear
ing on the initial appropriation Of
S325,OO0 for construction of the new
Pennsylvania avenue bridge. The
item was eliminated from the 1888
District supply bill without basis OF
facts" the organization claims.
The request for hearing was con-
tanned in a letter to Senator Thomas
from Louis F. Frick, secretary of the
association. The appropriation was
intended to start construction Of the
bridge.
In the letter, Frick accused the
House Subcommittee on District APP
propriations Of inconsistency in strik-
ing out the bridge appropriation and
substituting an item of $4,000 for
repairs, designed to maintain the
present structure for several more
years when this years budget already
expended $4,000 for the study of
plans for the new span.

Inmates for repairs to the bridge by

priations. coupled with the $4,000
already used from this years budget

Surgeon General Says Gov.

Over All Services.

The time should never arrive when

Thomas Parran, surgeon general OF

ice, told the Instructive Visiting Nurse
Society at luncheon meeting in Bark
er Hall, Y. w. c. A., yesterday.
"Organizations such as your So
ciety have distinct place in the health
service he stated, land there should
be a cooperation between them and
Government services.
DR.. Parran believes public interest
in health work is increasing because
OF the expansion of health education.
Public health nursing in large meas
ure is responsible for this expansion,
he commented.
He was high in his praise Of the
work of the Instructive Visiting Nurse
Society and added that 1t will take
years OF work on the part of such Or
yanizations to elevate Washington to
the level of the average American
city In regard to lower infant
mortality and a more thoroughly Or

At the outset of the meeting, Mrs.

continually being fed into the
great presses. Through plate
glass window she was able to
watch the greasy printers devils
rushing around to supply new i'm
questionable sheets for the great
machines.
Upstairs, she walked eagerly to-
wards Sandy's Office, only to find
Paula alone in one end Of the
room. Of the two girls, Marcia
was the more embarrassed, re-
membering the passionate declara-
tons Paula had made in her
apartment just few days before.
Sandy has gone out" she told
Marcia CURLY, revealing admirable
control. you'll pardon me If go
right on working? We have to
get this to the engraver by noon"
Marcia nodded understandingly.
Decidedly she must admire the
cool nerve of Paula, who could
hurl a threat to steal her lover at
one meeting-and calmly look her
in the eye us if nothing had hap
pened the next time she met her.
Marcia wished she could conceal
her own emotions so well. In
stinctively she studied Paula.
Certainly has made the most Of
her opportunities" she admitted
reluctantly. For indeed Paula ap-
peared more attractive than she
had about three months ago, when
Marcia had first met her at Iona
Won Brecht's. She still had the
same unruly head of hair, worn in
little girl fashion almost to her
shoulders. But she had touched
her lips lightly with carmine that
contrasted strangely and attrac-
lively with the pallor of her skin.
The lashes shading her intent, di-
rect eyes were stubby and heavy,
accentuating some piquant charm
of her face. Clad in a high-necked
smock of tomato red color, she
presented dramatic picture. The
artist in Marcia was quick to adj
nit the change, and to approve
even while she resented it.
From Paula her eyes wandered
appraisingly around the rest of the
office. A railing had sprung up to
separate Sandy's enclosed room
from the main Office with it's
bookcases and cabinets. The artist
had barricaded herself behind a
huge drawing board and a screen
placed strategically to shield par
TALLY her from too inquisitive Wis
itors. In contrary mood Marcia
decided on a bold course.
Mind if / come in?" she said
daringly, knowing how most art
lists dislike surveillance when they
are working. The tone of her voice
| intimated that she challenged
Paula to let her see the caliber of
her work.
Paula met her easily. Look
Earound if you. like, but pardon me
if don't get up"
Somewhat surprised, Marcia
seized the opportunity to study
the drawings and, incidentally, the
artist. Particularly interested in
the hosiery. campaign, she was
quick to approve the pert little
sketches Sandy and Paula had set
tied upon to carry the name and
fame of Sheer-Sheen. Long-legged
girls with gamin-like faces and
exaggerated poses, they were an
admirable trademark. Cleverly
done, too, Marcia admitted almost
with disappointment. To have
Paula please Sandy even in a bust
ness way was almost unbearable!
She tried several times to make
conversation but failed. Paula
was really engrossed in her work,
or pretended to be, so her guest
picked up pile of roughs on the
low table, and began to look
through them. The formal designs
she passed by quickly, although
