SPORTS PARADE
BY HENRY McLEMORE

wolf beneath the sheepskin coat.
Ladies day patrons used TINS cry
without let-up from the first pitch
to the final out. They employ it
on friend asd foe, foul pop and
three-bagger alike. Nothing is too
spectacular, nothing is too stereo-
typed, to escape 1t. Occasionally it
is delivered from a sitting posture,
but most of the time the women
are on their feet. Naturally this
works a hardship on the men spec
tators, because for all their dainti-
ness and sweetness, gals aren't
transparent. So to see what's going
on the men have to stand too, and
this is very wearing and tearing
or, arches accustomed to being put
to use only when something out
of the ordinary takes place.
To escape this, men who attend
on Ladies, day usually attempt to
get there first, and take all the
front row seats. But battlescarred
old Polo Grounder, who loves the
Giants so much he can't stand to
miss day, told me that this was
very difficult.
There just isn't such a thing
as beating the women here" he
sighed. They seem to have discov-
cred our plot, and make it a point
TO get to the park shortly after
sun-up. I believe that a third party,
running os platform that called
for the abolishment OF ladies day
would have real chance in 1910"

PADRES LOSE
CONTEST TO
PORTLAND '9'
BY UNITED PRESS

The Sacramento SolonS neared
the weekend in the Pacific Coast
league baseball series today with a
strong game and one-half lead for
first place.
The team from Legislature Valley
gained position by defeating the
San Francisco Missions, 4-3, and
as result of the second place Pa
dreS from San Diego losing out to
the Portland Beavers.
The San Francisco Seals goose
egged the Seattle Indiass, taking
the game, 80. Bill shores turned
in an excellent performance from
the mound and was well supported
by his teammates who prevented
the Seattle aggregates from scor-
ing on the seven hits they con-
nected for. The winners took their
points in the first and second in
nings.
Paul Gregory hurting for the In
dianS, held the victors to only nine
hits, but they were punched effec-
lively enough to give them the
game.
The Oakland Oaks woke up to
defeat the Los Angeles Angels, IA,
and thereby evened their series
with the Seraphs. The lop-sided
score marked a haphazard game in
which free hitting and loose field
ing were in evidence.
The game was on the fence until
the seventh inning when the Oaks
ran in three tallies for the winning
points.
In an earlier day game the Port
land Beavers marked up their
third victory of the week over
San Diego, taking the Padres, "a.
Frederick of Portland and Williams
of San Diego both scored home
runs but the rest of the playing
was loose.

Presidents Plans Secret
On Wage Law Future

President Roosevelt's objective

women and minors; and whether
or not he will tie up the Federal
objective with his proposed mini.

is known that the President does
not intend to stop merely with the
validity Of the National Labor Re
lationS Board.
However, the matter of mini,
mum wages has not been tested by
this court child labor acts have
twice been held unconstitutional
and there Is every evidence that
before the President sends any
suggested minimum wage legisla
ton to Congress he will go into II
deeply with his best legal aides.

mary study.
Mr.. Kochenderfer stated that he
cannot understand why women
should favor such a measure, when
it may result in many women be-
ing replaced by men in industry.
He pointed out that in the hotel
industry "gratuities" should be
taken into account when mimi
mum wages are set. Also to be
considered, he stated, are meals
and lodging.
One hotel executive stated that
in many instances men cannot re-
place women in the hotel industry.
He pointed out that while male
stewards are considered proper on
shipboard, men would hardly be
proper as chambermaidS.
Employing a large proportion Of
women workers in the District,
laundry executives also foresaw
the possibility of women suffering
through the institution Of a mini
mum wage law.
George walker, executive secre-
tary of the Laundry owners Asso-
citation, stated that q survey in
member laundries of his organiza-
ton revealed that estimates varied
from between 10 and so per cent
as to the number of jobs now held
by women that could be practically
handled by men.
However, he stated, q conserva-
tive estimate of the industry as q
whole would indicate that between
20 and IS per cent of the jobs in
the laundry industry were Of this

He estimated that this repre-

There the matter rests. Whether
the amendment will originate with

not now, decided. The commits

be held unconstitutional it might
again throw out the whole law

In outlining again this nations foreign policy in
connection with strife in Europe and the Orient,
President Roosevelt made it clear that Uncle Sans
policy would be one of moderation but that would
not sit idly by just hoping for peace. AS he said,
peace not be Just wished for Cooperative action
is necessary unless we propose put wall around
the United States and live unto ourselves alone,
situation which would be impossible in this day and
age
But despite the excellent intentions of the Pres-
dent and our people generally the unfortunate thing
is that peace is not assured by cooperating peaceaby
with other nations by treaties and agreements The
theory is sound enough The weight of number of
leading nations in agreement on international
problem is conducive to peace The trouble is that
too often there loopholes in the agreements or
some nation decides that after all it is only scrap
of paper
An example of the difficulty of getting satisfactory
agreement and making it stand can be found in the
new accord reached yesterday between Germany and
Belgium. According to the understanding between
these nations Germany agrees to respect Belgian
territory and under no circumstances will she in
fringe upon the integrity of Belgium But the usual
old loophole is obvious Germany is gong to respect
Belgium except if Belgium should cooperate in any
warlike operations against Germany" And who will
decide whether Belgium is cooperating in "warlike
operations against Germany?" Germany, of course,
and if the latter wants to break with Belgium all She
has to do is decide that Belgium is engaged in war
like opera tons" against her.
It's as simple that Unfortunately the same
situation applies when group of nations attempt to
get in agreement in effort to promote peace. The
loophole clauses slipped in SO that change OF
mind can virtually nullify the agreement.
The Presidents course is sound and perfectly
logical one 1t is in keeping with the times and con-
dtions But there has been growing proof since the
World War that integrity of nations is not what 1t
once was. Too many agreements are turning out to
be just scraps of paper. Thus, while the theory is
good practical makes it necessary for this coun
try to keep building armament; to have an army
and navy second TO none so that when some nation
sees opportunity to take advantage of a loophole
clause, the second safeguard of peace cracking
good military machine, will make her think twice
before actually going to 1t is probable that if
China had been able TO show a strong military force
Japan would have thought twice before moving in for
what she thought to be an easy victory.
