old cry, "Come on GooSe!"
Ever since Goslin asked the
Washington club for trial some
two weeks ago, there has been q
definite sympathy with his cause
on the part Of Washington fans.
Ard when news arrived over
the week end that he had earned
q contract for himself, the Ella
ton here was unmistakable.
The feeling is rampant that he
can do the club some good. In.
deed washington will be glad
to again greet the erstwhile
Wild Goose Of the Potomac.
Goslin, in his prime, was the
nearest approach to a climax
hitter the team has possessed.
He was called the Babe Ruth OF
the Washington forces.
AS in the case Of Ruth, 1t
was with equal elation the fans
greeted his strikeouts and his
long distance clouts. Surely 1t
required popularity plus to be
thus held In the affections Of the
denizens Of the stands.

but Griff has outdone himself
In the case of Goslin.
For this happens to be the
second time that Griff has
brought back the Goose to the
Washington forces. After being
=; sent to the st. Louis Browns in
1880 he was summoned here
again In 1888, only to be for
warded to the Detroit Tigers a
year later.
The Tigers gave up on Goslin
last year, but to his everlasting
credit the Goose hasn't given up
on himself and at 81 he is wear

Umpire Billy MCGOWAN is

Goslin from obscurity in a New

He found GoSlin marvellous

ICKES HINTS new.
RELIEF PLAN TO.
SAVE new DEAL.
Measures Will Offset
Liberal Combine
BY EARL GOODWIN

When Secretary Ickes put his
foot down yesterday on the idea
of a new national liberal party
to take in the scattered remnants
of the La FolletteS, BenSons and
other left wingerS defeated Tues
day, he was speaking as one who
has seen liberals fight, bleed and
die-and then come to life again
on a dozen battlefieldS.
Mr.. Ickes' pronouncement thai
the one great liberal. leader IN this
country is Franklin D. Roosevelt
is taken to mean that the New
Deal says "handS off" to any lib
eral who comes along with the
idea of saving the world by the
formation of another party.
BASIC PLAN UNCHANGED
That disposes of Mayor La
Guardia, Governor La Toilette and
Governor Benson; and the opin'
ion in New Deal circles still holds
that the way to advance the lib
eral cause Is to continue to try to
ram home, through congressional
action sufficient economic secur-
ity to satisfy the vast majority OF
American voters.
Jobs for all and fund accumu-
lated against unemployment and
old age therefore seem to be the
main features of the program
which political observers believe
will be formulated to wave in the
face of an electorate which has
elected many new members Of
both parties pledged to the Town
send or other pension plans which
the already Liberal New Deal finds
impossible or too expensive.
In one part Of Secretary 1ckeS'
talk at his press conference yes
terday he mentioned again the
possibility of drafting the Presi.
dent for a third term.
TWO FACTIONS
This view is not confined to Sec.
retary Ickes, and brings up the
fact that while one division of the
Democratic army is working to
force Mr.. Roosevelt as third term
candidate, there seems to be every
possibility that the Democratic
National Committee may be de.
vising ways and means to block
just such a development.
It would not be surprising if this
winter saw a tug Of war between
the Democratic National Commit
tee and the liberal wing of the
Brain Trust, to find out just who
does control the Democratic party
It is believed the President, ii
he saw fit, could force the com
mittee to come along behind him
by mapping a program to improve
and strengthen the social Secur
ity law. the Wagner act, and the
activities of the National Labor
Relations Board.
IMPORTATIONS BANNED
Practical politicians see in the
IckeS' utteranceS a fair warning
that no imported programs are
wanted. They also realize that it
is difficult to organize a national
radical or liberal party because his
tory in this country shows that
the leaders Of State radical or lib
leral parties like to be supreme in
their own bailiWick and do not
easily Submerge themselves in a
nationwide movement. That is
the reason for so many small indi-
pendent minority parties through
the West.
