IMPROVING BANKS
ROOSEVELT'S GOAL
President DediCates New
Federal Reserve Board
Structure.

Taking three words from the policy
of Woodrow Wilson, President Roose-
welt Yesterday dedicated the monu-
mental Federal Reserve Building to
continue step by step" improvement
of the banking system of America, to
the end that every worker will be
able to provide his family at all times
with an ever-rising standard of Ameri-
c comfort"
The Chief Executive, in his address
to about 1000 dignitaries of this Gov
eminent and invited diplomats in the
grand foyer Of the beautiful new struc-
ture, did not touch specifically on the
question of a fiuctuating stock mar
ket.
The President, however, took the
occasion to sound notes of confidence
in the present set-up, review new
powers granted to tie Federal Reserve
System, but warn that I'VE must not
complacently suppose that we have
achieved perfection"
Capable of Adaptation.
'The Federal Reserve System" he
declared, tested by nearly quarter
of a century of operation, is a public
institution capable of adaptation to
future. as it has been to past, needs
and conditions. 1t is a piece of ma
chinery vital to the Nations steady
progress toward the goal of a sounder
banking system capable of contribut-
ing its full share to lasting economic
progress and well-being."
The goal of economic security and
stability of the Federal Re-
serve System-"cannot be attained by
that system alone" declared the Chief
Executive, but neither can it be
reached without the proper function
ing of our monetary and credit ma
chinery. That machinery must be
steadily perfected and co-ordinated
with all other instruments of Govern
ment to promote the must productive
utilization of our human and ma
terial resources.
"Only in that way" he said. "can
We hope to achieve and maintain an
enduring prosperity. free from the dis
astrous extremes of booms and depres-
sions. Only in that way can our eco
nomic system and our democratic
institutions endure"
Words from Inscription.
The three words from Woodrow Will
son, step by step" were taken by the
Chief Executive from an inscription
beneath Wilson's portrait in bronze in
the main entrance to the building
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. widow of the
President, had inspected the plaque of
her husband, and read the inscription
prior to the Presidents speech.
Mrs. Wilson and Senator Carter
Glass, Democrat, of Virginia sat side
by side. not far from the President, as
the Chief Executive praised the
craftsmanship" of President Wilson
and the courageous leadership" of
Senator Glass in formulation of the
Federal Reserve System.

late yesterday and rising fast.
These mountain streams run off
fast, so by the middle Of the week
things will g back to normal.
We fished Fishing Greek. in
Montgomery County, Md, this

By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
BOSTON, April 27.-Two OF
baseball's prize youngsters are
in the hospital today, as an ap'
prehensive sports community
awaits authentic news on their
condition. The two youngsters
are Bobby Teller, of the Cleve'
land Indians, and Bobby Doerr,
of the Boston Red Sox.
ReasSuring statements are
heard from Steve O'Neill, and
other officials of the Cleveland
club regarding Feller's arm, in
jured. as well you know, several
days ago.
Expected Back
DR.. Edward O'Brien, physician
of the Boston Red Sox, says
that Doerr will be back in uni
form in few days. MiraculouSly
enough, no fracture was SUI
fered by Doerr when a fast ball
pitched by Eddie Linke bored
deeply into his skull. The SoX
player stood transfixed as Linke's
pitch shot toward him at appall-
ing speed. At the last instant
Doerr half turned away, but not
soon enough to dodge the ball.
He was removed to st. Elizabeth's
Hospital where he is as COM
Portable as one might expect.
Feller's arm muscle will heal
with rest, according to specialists
in Cleveland. Perhaps his injury
will prove to be a blessing in
sternest guise, for Teller, despite
efforts to maintain an even keel,
or better, perhaps, a level head,
has become sold on the subject of
Bobby Teller. Few boys have be-
come national fixtures, even in so
trivial field as baseball, in the
few years that Teller has lived.
He has been engulfed in the wave
Of public adulation, but he will
have to win to hold his public.
Hogan let pop foul by Higgins
fall at his feet for an error, but

everything was forgiven. Seemed
as if your Aunt Kate should have

It was one of those border line

Cecil Travis went right back to

to break on the ball. He missed a

past his fingers.
Travis, however, was one Of the
stalwart hitters of the day. He

raw material for the greatest
catch of the afternoon when he
sent Craner back to the center
field fence for a drive.
DeShong hasn't looked like a
major league pitcher since the
Cardinals hammered him in a
ninth-inning rally in Daytona a
few weeks ago. He is as wild as
a rookie and, based on his last few
performances, will have to rally
to turn in 10 victories this season.
If Teller comes back unframed
by this arm injury, he should go
on to greater heights than if he
never had been hurt. He Is un-

''My Athletics? Oh, we're very
much stronger than last year.

EASTERN SEEKS SECOND SERIES WIN IN TILT vi
Guyon' S Team
New Threat
TONNES
Rr GARRETT WATERS

Eastern makes its second bid fol-
victory in the interhigh baseball
series today, entertaining the
Central High nine at the Eastern
Stadium at $3.50 p. m. The game
was postponed today because Of
rain.
rain. The contest was called oil
early today, but scheduled again
when Eastern found its field dry
enough to play.
The ParkerS, supposedly a weak
hitting crew, defeated the highly
rated Tech entry last week and by
virtue of that victory stamped
themselves as a real threat for the
remainder Of the campaign.
Of course the biggest factor in
the teams triumph was the pitch
ing of Lefty Stockwell, who al.
lowed the Techmen only five hits
and no runs. Naturally the other
side cannot win when it is kept
from scoring.
But then that Eastern hitting.
Everett O'Brien, veteran out
fielder, helped Stockwell along
with a timely home run in the
third inning. Then in the ninth
some more hitting was injected
into the records, netting three
runs and giving Stockwell a chance
to breeze through to victory.
Should Repeat
The combination Of Stockwell
and Eastern's hitters promise to
stand the team in good stead to-
day. Stockwell is pretty sure to
turn in another dependable effort
while O'Brien and the rest should
duplicate their good work at bat.
Once again, Central will be striV-
ing to right itself for series tri-
umph. The Mt. Pleasanters' path
has been anything but rosy this
spring, due chiefly to the lack Of
experienced performers.
Coach Jack Ray guided his
team through a strenuous Virginia
trip, however, last week and be-
lieves the experience gained will
help not only today, but through
out the remainder of the schedule.
The thing that will straighten
out the Centralites most is pitch
ing.
Steady Effort Needed
A steady effort by one Of the
quartet now on the roster would
pep the team no little, since then
it would be instilled with the idea
it could compete with the other
teams who have their StockWells,
their BrightS, their Rafterrys, their
Bortz' and their DooniS'.
This Doonis, incidentally, prom
ises to be quite pitcher before
the series is over. He's quickly de-
veloping control and once he gets
it, will make the Tech High nine
tough to beat. Tech plays again in
the series next week.
But back to Eastern and Central.
The game will be the second for
both teams. Regular line-upS will
go into action with such familiar
figures as Taylor, Kidweu and
Jacobs performing for Eastern. be-
