For tonight's fray, starting at
$3.50 o'clock, arrangements have
been Completed to have Paul Men
ton and Johnny Neun of Baltimore
to officiate.
LOYOLA PUZZLED
G. W. crossed up Loyola by
using a man-to-man defense in the
second half after employing the
zone in the first chapter of the
tilt.
But for a while the change ap-
peared to have been anything but
a wise one, as Loyola wiped out
five-point deficit early in the Sec
ond heat and managed to go ahead
of G. w. by a one-point margin
midway in second period. In the
first half the zone appeared to
have buffaloed Loyola.
Late in the game. George Hogan,
of Loyola, and Tommy O'Brien of
G. w. staged slight scuffle near
the press bench, when Hogan was
caught red-handed holding the
eel-like Tommy. AS a result the
umpire, in order to quell the whole
business, plastered a technical foul
on both players.
George Washington held a
20-15 margin at half time, and Bob
Farls was high point scorer of
the evening with 18 points. Wlb
Kautz, leading scorer of the Loyola
team, snagged II points, and
played a bangup floor game
throughout.

Seventeen years ago the great

Washington has ever had, en-
braced his first big league train

seasons Of focusing his faultless
glance on hard hi balls trickling
toward the shortfield of the

In the midst of his second
year as a minor Lacquer Bluege
caught the fancy of the Wash
1ngton team, which looked him
over for several weeks and then
leased him to Minneapolis for
little processing.
I expect Washington never
invested $500 more profitably
than in this now 37-year-old
demon grabber Of ground balls.

The greatest compliment that
can be paid him is that he's still

that there always will be a spot
on his ball club for this former
Chicago sand lotter, Just as
there always has been-well, for
Nick Altrock, to make an ex-

Bluege, never given to CAB,
told me as he was getting his
effects together for the trip
South, that he looks upon each
season as new opportunity and
that he faces the Orlando camp
with as much enthusiasm as he
did his first jaunt back in 1922.
And If you know your Bluege,
you can be sure he was pulling
no sham. The mans spirit al.
ways has been remarkable, and
as Washington's regular third
baseman Che played short and
second sometimes) his work
showed the genuineness of this
interest.

It's a swell attribute for any
ball player who can face the
inevitable end Of his days Of &C
tual playing, with the good
grace revealed by Bluege.
You need none too much i'm.

aSsiduously with Bucky Harris
in rounding into form the two
youngsters, Cecil Travis and
Buddy Lewis, the former to fill
his shoes at third and the lat

left by Joe Cronin.
''I'm a. team man now, as I
have been from the day 7 joined
this club" Bluege was saying,
adding, "and wherever I can be
Of the best use to the manage
ment. that's my delight"
I asked him if any particular
plays stood out over his career
that he cherished above the
others, and modestly enough,
he recounted a fielding chance
on which he made an error.
It was in one of those torrid
1924 games with the Giants and
a double play would have meant
the winning of the game for
Washington. Hank Gowdy hit
one of those hoppers down to
OSSie, the kind you and I have
seen him make childsplay of
time upon time, and it went
through him.

Eddie Collins, the first year Ty
was with the Athletics.
Cobb was batting and Collins
was on third base with the tie
ing run, Ty hitting the ball to
the shortstop, who threw to Ruel
to cut off Collins.
''Well," said Bluege, "I stayed
right on Collins back and

Bucky Harris, who tagged Cobb
on the base line,

needs skillful plotting to keep it off

trading system must convince the
world that it was better than the
totalitarian brand of economic self

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Donahey threatened
today to adjourn the hearing OF the
Tennesse Valley Authority Investi-
eating Committee because OF q
heated controversy over legality OF
the T. v. A. expenditures.
Stewart v. Tulloss, an assistant
to the controller general, caused
the sharp argument among commit
tee members by testifying that T. "
A. bought real estate worth $780,
600 without examining the title"
That's not true" Francis Biddle,
committee counsel, interrupted the
witness.
This brought quick protest from
Representative Wolverton, Republi-
can, OF New Jersey, that Mr.. Biddle
had disputed testimony Of wit
ness.
Hes letting his enthusiasm get
away with him." Representative
Wolverton said Of the committee
lawyer.
Mr.. Biddle replied that "the rec
ord shows the title was examined
and added an apology for disputing

Mr.. Biddle, Representative VOL

tee members started talking at the

with this witness or I'll adjourn

restoring quiet.
Shortly before, Representative

committee member, asserted that T.

ress if it followed all the demands
of the controller general.

Testifies to Errors.
Errors in addition by the Internal
Revenue Bureau which increased
the Warnings tax liability from their
numbers business were described by
Mr. Sadur.
These errors were admitted and
rectified by the Government audi
tors, Mr.. Sadur said, as he went over
the Warning books and pointed out
to the jury adding machine tapes
he had attached to the corrected
figures.
In one instance which the de-
fendant cited, the Government, he
said, had added $500 to the net
profit of the Warnings for one day
and this figure was corrected when
he pointed out the error. This mis-
take, he explained, resulted when a
revenue auditor left out one figure
in making his addition.
Corrections Were Made.
Mr. Sadur pointed to another err
ror Of $3.50, which, he said, the
Government enormously deducted
from the Warning hit" column
thus increasing their taxable in
come to that extent. The witness
showed six of these errors, which,

In support of his contention that

him to send over certain persons
who worked for Emmitt Warning
