1898 SCHEDULE
BY CHICK KENNY

Although the schedule of the
Washington Redskins, world pro-
fessional football champions, has
been advertised at the entrance of
Griffith Stadium, home-playing
field of the local greenback eleven,
since the opening day of the base
ball season, it was not until today
that the completed schedule for
the entire league was officially re-
leased by President Joe F. Carr.
With each of the 10 clubs of
the loop playing IL games, the
opening salvo of the season is
scheduled September IA, when
Art Rooney'S Pittsburgh Pirates
meet the Philadelphia Eagles in
Pittsburgh. The campaign ends
Sunday, December 4, and one
week later, December II, the play
off for the title and the Ed Thorp
Memorial Trophy between the
Eastern and Western division

Few observers will deny that the
| American League can muster
stronger, more authoritative clout-
ers than the National, and more
of them, but the game demon
strated that their power hitting
isn't an unanswerable argument
and that the National League has
at lest some of the answers.
All that the game actually
proved is that victory makes any
team look good. Yet it's a thought
to stress. Possibly, in the past,
the factors contributing toward
American League success we're
overemphasized. 1t looked like the
hitterS did it all. The box scores
didn't show the breaks Of the
game, check the managerial
guesses or the pitching types, and
so nobody bothered about them.
CORRECT GUESS
Yesterday it was the National
Leagues turn. They were calling
the turn, getting the breaks. The
American LeaguerS were making
the mistakes.
How much a correct guess
means in a game like this was re-
vealed by Bill Terry afterward.
He was undecided, he disclosed.
whether to pitch Carl Hubbell or
Bill Lee, and it was only at the
last moment he turned to the
hulking Chicagoan. When Lee
proceeded to walk the first Ameri-
can Lacquer, Terry hustled Hub
bell to the bullpen. Yet Lee
settled quickly and went on to
pitch the game of his life, to be-
come the pitcher Of the day.
Players on both teams are agreed
on that. The American LeaguerS'
only hit off him was pop fly that
Leo Durocher lost in the sun.
Highly interesting was the man.
ner in which the games two key
plays-Rudy York's striking out
with the bases filled, and DU-
rocher's bunt-stressed the diver
gent psychologists of the two
leagues.
ALL OR NOTHING
York's presence as pinchhitter
was a truly American League ges-
ture. The bases were filled, two
were out in the seventh and the
score was 2 to 0 against the Ameri-
cans. Manager Joe Mccarthy had
Red" Rolfe on the bench, a surer
if not so robust hitter as York.
A single would have tied the score.
Yet Mccarthy didn't want a tie,
he wanted a cleanup. This is
not criticism, merely an example
of the American League psy.
chology.
1t was the same with Durocher'S
bunt, so wildly thrown about. With
the pitcher coming up next, the
American Lacquer didn't dream
Terry would have Durocher bunt.
In that spot, the American
Leaguers would have hit. So
Charlie Gehringer was late in COW
ering first, and Jimmie Foxx'S
throw eluded him.
It's all in ball game, and evi-
dence that there's more ways than
one to play it.

LONGWOOD BOWL
Mrs. Wghtman Hopes
To Bring Rivals Back

BROOKLINE, Mass, July Z
G.N.S0.-Will Helen Wills Moody
and Helen Jacobs renew their ten
mis- rivalry in the Longwood Bowl
tournament, starting July 18, at
Longwood Cricket Club?
That possibility arose today
after Mrs. George Wightman,
sponsor of Longwood tennis, sent
home a postcard saying she hoped
to bring the top-flight racquet
rivals back with her.
At Wimbledon last Saturday,
Mrs. Moody defeated Miss Jacobs
in straight sets after the latter
suffered a leg injury.
Although Americas aces, Don
Bulge and Gene Mako and, per-
haps, few Wightman Cup stars
will not be in the local tourna-
ment, officials expect a strong ar
ray Of Americas best racquet
wielders to play in the Longwood
Bowl competition.
Among those sure to compete
in the Women's division were Mrs.
Sarah Palfrey Fabyan, Pat Can
ming, 16-year-old California sensa-
tion; Margaret Osborne, Virginia
Wolfenden, "Dodo" Bundy, Pat
Henry, Theodosia Workman, Mar
garet Jesse and Helen Bernhard.

Publication of the report by
Commissioner Paul A. Walker, who
headed the agency's three year in
vestigation into the company at the
request of congress, brought point
ed reminders from his colleagues
that it had not been officially ap-
proved by the FEC and a challenge
of its accuracy by President Walter
S. Clifford, of the A. T. and T.
The report, which was the first
statement on the $l,500,000 inquiry
suggested broadly that the FEC
should have vast authority to re-
strict the A. T. and T. activities
to the communications field, loosen
its hold on many affiliated enter
rrises, including Weston Electric
company, which manufactures near
ly all telephone equipment, and re-
vamp administrative policies and
structures.
Charges unfair" Inquiry
Clifford charged that the state
ment that rates could be reduced
25 per cent without affecting new
earnings, is absurd and that
other portions of the report simply
are not true" He added that the
FEC also had been unfair" in the
inquiry.
This company has the best, the
most extensive, the most widely
used and cheapest telephone service
in the world" Clifford said I'm spite
of this. it would appear that fault
has been found with almost every
thing this company has done thru
out its eXistance. This just ,.oes
not make sense.
Bell system earnings never have
been excessive. The suggestion that
rates might be reduced 25 per cent
Throughout the Bell system with
out reducing net earnings by chang
ing depreciation and other major
policies and practices, is absurd. =
Body Not Agreed
Walker conceded that the report
was only a proposal and needed
full commission action before being
sent to congress officially, but the
split was intensified when Commits
Sioner T. A. NJ Craven issued a
statement asserting that he could
not agree with some of the recon-
mendations.
1T is only fair to recognize that
the telephone service is, in general,
excellent" he said.
Chairman Frank McNinch noted
also that the report was only a
proposal and did not as yet rep
resent the official findings of the
commission.
Publication of the proposed re-
peort, an unusual procedure, stirred
speculation why the document was
released until it had official status.
Despit the fact it was not sent Of
ficially to congress, copies were
transmitted to senate and house
interstate commerce committees for
their guidance.

Chief of Detectives Harry Kelly,

the Coleman confession, beyond say
ing it was worth checking"
He called attention to the fact
the murder previously had been
confessed by Donald Hazel, 28-year-
old inmate of the Patton State hos
'pital, but said the case still was
listed as "unsolved'.
Miss Muirs bciy was found in a
small cove at La Jolla on the NOR
ming of Sept. l, 1896. She had been
slugged to death and dragged into
the cove.
Detectives believed she was seated
