G.N.S.) Pointing to "corn
plete breakdown" in naval hmita
tions by treaty, Admiral William
D. Leahy, chief of operations. to
day declared world conditions "are
far worse than at any time since
1918, with no improvement in
sight"
Urging the House Naval Affairs
Committee to approve authorize
tion of the new $500 100000 naval
building program, Leahy asserted
''if this isn't done we will in a
short time be badly outdistanced
by the building programs Of Japan
and Great Britain"
SEES WAR THREAT
Germany and Italy, he added
"are also engaged in extravagant
building programs"
Outlining world conditions
Leahy said ''the civil war in Spain
continues unabated and the pos
sibility of a general European con.
flagration is ever rpesent.'
"At our own DOORS" he con-
tinued, "there is nothing to pre-
vent the seizure of any South
American republic except the
Monroe dostrine."
POSSESSIONS VULNERABLE
He told the committee the out.
lying possessions of the United
States - Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto
Rico, and others-all are vulner'
able. A stronger navy, he said
is necessary to protect them.
The socalled treaty navy" as
provided under the Vinson- Tram
nell Act was considered strong
enough for defense against attack
Leahy said.
''If the treaties had been ad-
.hered to there would be no
need for a naval program" he
said. s
Both Great Britain and Japan
have launched huge naval arma
ment programs following break
down of the treaties, Admira.

Enright Brothers, Referees,
To Work Game Here Together
For First Time IN Careers
By BURTON HAWKINS.

- UNDAY supposedly Is q day OF
rest. but Maurice (Bum) En-
right wouldn't know about that
~ In fact. when the slim, blond
basket ball ofncial arrives home to-
night he probably will dart back and
forth in the living room from force OF
habit, for Bum today will referee four
court tilts. If he stumbles over the
rug he doubtless will toot his whistle
and call foul for tripping.
Last week Enright labored In IS
games, which. unless our first-grade
arithmetic suddenly has soured, con-
stitutes an average of more than two
games q day. That figure may be
higher than usual, but Bum does OH
ciate in an average of about eight
games q week over 10-week stretch.
Bum perhaps is not the busiest ref
cree in this sector nor the most ex-
perienced. but many spectators and
players rate him one Of the smooth
est. One Of the players who will tell
you Enright Is the best in this neck
Of the woods is Warren Swift. captain
Of the 1927 Central High outfit, who

Example TO Colleagues.
"RUM doesn't take the game away
from the players" informs War
ren. Hes liberal enough to allow
some body contact, yet seldom misses
an actual foul, and I've never seen him
let = game get beyond control. His
greatest asset is that he's not too
quick on the whistle. Too many ref
erees are enforcing the rules too
strictly and eliminating much of the
spectator and player interest"
The 31-year-old Enright for nine
years has been scooting up and down
courts. His brother, James (Happy)
Enright. has been doing the same
thing in Baltimore for six seasons,
yet they never have worked q game
together. On February 5, however,
they finally will tweet together in the
Georgetown-Penn State game at Tech
High.
Buns most avid follower was his
father, who died only recently. He
loved to watch Enright referee, 80
it only was natural that three days
after his death that Bum was back
in his white togs ofhciating. He was
sad-faced and drawn as he told about

The arms and shoulders materially

Thus, in left turn. the right shoulder

skis to start their skid. To overcome
any difficulty in getting the weight

Mail Refutes Pesein,ists,

INQUIRIES come from all sections
and from all types Of boys. They
are anxious to start on = baseball ca
reer. and the national association has
assumed the responsibility of af1ording
them their chance.
Glass E leagues are in q formative
stage. No doubt numerous circuits of
this rating will be admitted to mem
oership this year. My advice to the
youngsters Is to watch their local pa
pers for news Of league organization
and. after selecting q club close to
home, make application for a trial.
Such q rush Of mail as we have had
Is clearly indicative that youth has not
lost its interest in base ball, as some
would have us believe. On the con-
trary. feel that the heavy influx of
inquiries convinces without a doubt,
that there has not been so much inter-
est on the part Of boys in years.
This rise may be traced to the
startling growth of class D leagues.
In 1888. only two of them were in
operation. There was not much room
for the beginner. Last season we had
30 class D circuits, and with this
broadened field. the number of young
sters entering the game showed a re-
markable increase and interest was
stimulated to an exceptional pitch.
No League F1opped in 81.
As TO the immediate past and
present of the national associa-
ton. I have only to direct attention
to the season of 1887. Thirty-seven
minor leagues started the campaign
and every one finished its schedule.
Never in the history Of the association
has such q record been made.
Furthermore, there was 4 complete
absence Of territorial lien debts, in
dicating that business was good" and
that baseball was back on the plane
where it belongs.
With such an encouraging season
behind us, we naturally go very hope
fully into 1898. We realize that base
ball. as we'll as other amusement
enterprises. rides with the ebb and
now OF general business conditions.
A word of caution is often a better
prescription than an overdose Of
optimism.
Minor league baseball does not want
10 let prosperity go to its head. 1t is
our purpose to continue in the chan
nels Of sane business methods, and
under such policy we view the new
year with the hope and thought that
1t will hold both pleasure and profit.
