ners of The Washington Times

bert, the Foggy Bottom power
house, was away winging among
the men with a tremendous 1872
game, 18 pins above Arthur Dar-
ling's runnerup, 174.
Nine women and eight men were
richer for fine efforts on the maple
ways last week, there being three
ties for seventh place among the

"The boys" seem to
be having a lot of fun
these days at the ex-
pense of "Muggsy"
Morris, one of the best
three boxing referees
licensed by the local
commission.
By the boys Of course l
mean the second-guessers who
make it a weekly practice to
hang around Turner's Tom
Thumb Arena and time the
officiating at boxing bouts.
Their latest amateurism has
been displayed over the semi-finals
of the amateur boxing tourna
ment, and for that reason may be
excused.
But amateur or professional, the
theory is the same.

After from IL to "a hours delib-

perfectly. particularly after mem
bers of the boxing commission,
none of whom was present on the
occasion of the disputed decision
went into five-hour huddle and

For that reason. and after so

Robinson Measure Declared to Be
Counter to Spirit of Merit

Declaring that viewed generally
the bill runs counter to the spirit of

president of the American Federation

sharply criticized the governmental
reorganization bill offered by Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, majority Lead
er, to carry out the program pro-
posed by President Roosevelt.
The plan to supplant the Civil Serv-
ice Commission with a single admin
1strator appointed for l5-year term
was described as destined to bring
about RECOMMENDATION of thinking on
civil service policy" while proposed
exemptions of positions from civil
service also were viewed as draw
backs.
The general title of the bill--'To
provide for reorganizing agencies of
the Government'-revea the very
broad purposes and implications of
this BILL" Stengle said. Thus, at
the outset, there is plain indication
OF the broad powers given to the

Catholics Await Initial Step
by Germany After Bishop
Is Accused.
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN. June 26.-Catholic sources
predicted today the government would
cancel its 1888 concordat with the
Vatican to gain a free hand In carrying
out changes in Germany, including re-
distribution of land.
The government-supervi press
generally asserted the concordat had
been violated by the Catholic Bishop
OF Speyer, Ludwig Sebastian, by re-
porting non-church matters to the
Holy See
Joseph Buerckel Nazi district leader
in the Saar Basin, leveled the charge
at the bishop yesterday when the latter
was on the witness stand at the trial
OF priest accused OF slandering
Buerckel.
Catholic sources declared they be-
lieVed the cross had been
planned in advance to give the gov
eminent an opportunity OF charging
the church with breaking the Vatican
German accord and making it easier
for the government to put agriculture
reforms into effect
The land redistribution program, to
pegln January l. involves the pooling
OF many small farms into collective en-
terprlses, with the individual farmer
holding rights corresponding to the
amount OF land contributed. One rea-
son for the plan Is that many a farmer
holds two or more pieces of land in
separate sections; under the redistri-
button his land would be all in one
piece.
So far there has been no specific in
dication the program would affect the
Catholic Church, which has large land
holdings

unanimity, newspa pers declared the
