MACK RECALLS TEAM
My Dear Mr.. Mccarthy: I was
pleased to receive your letter of a
recent date Feb. PSI and l want
to assure you that IT is a great
pleasure to hear from one OF the
old-timerss who lived and PLAYED
ball at Ware Mass. The league.
known as the Massachusetts Cen
trail league and sponsored by VIII
liam Parsons of Warren. Mass. is
authentic.
Ware had two very good teams.
| One was called the Firemen and
the other was known as the Ware
Clippers. Our East Brookfield
team played the Firemen only one
game at Ware and defeated them
by pretty big score.
"The Clippers were a better
team. Your memory Is excellent,
As our East BrOokfield team won
the Silver Bat and defeated the
Clippers for a second time at Pal
mer in very good game by the
score of to 6.
The Arthur Cummings you
mention was the first man to pitch
a curve ball. l remember that in
the early sos Cummings showed
some of the boys in our town how
to pitch a curve.
Il remember quite a few of the
boys who played with the Clip
pers. Mr.. McGrath, now living in
Chicago, was one of the players.
l often see him and we talk over
the days of long ago.
Tom Healy was a very fine fell
low, and if | am not mistaken he
died quite few years ago. This
is my seth year in the game and
my health is very good at the
present time. Many thanks for
writing and | hope that you will
see many years to come
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) CONNIE MACK"
CAME TO TACOMA
What Mccarthy didn't tell Mack
is that i'll health forced him west.
He played for time on various
town teams in eastern Washing
ton and lived in Tacoma briefly.
Here he worked as an apprentice
to Alfred Hansen, a jeweler, who
maintained a shop near 18th st.
After a time he again drifted
back east, playing baseball ocCa-
but not taking up the
game as a profession. He man.
aged several clubs and finally gave
up active participation in the
game.
In 1928, he again came to Ia
coma, and he has lived here since,
now residing at the Allyn hotel,
726 st, Helens ave.
Mccarthy still enjoys attending
baseball games, and every once
in a while drops up to the Athletic
park when the Tigers are home. |
He said the w. l. league on the
whole is pretty fast, but it an
noys him to see blunders made on +
the field-particularly when there
is no one sitting beside him to
whom he might explain what
should have been done on the play.
Every time he sees catcher,
outfitted with a chest protector,
he remembers that his teammates
and himself years ago in Ware
probably were responsible for the
of the protector.
They were the ones who wrote
the Wright & Ditson Sporting
Goods Co., asking that some sort
of chest protector be made. What
they got was considerably differ
ent from the modern article. 1t
was merely well-padded bib,
made to be worn under the shirt,
but it was adequate. Mccarthy
recalls, and saved many a broken
rib.
Mccarthy probably will be on
hand for the opening Western In
ternational league game here this
year.
He will if Tacoma club officials
have their way. President Jack

600, which was made up Of two
items: first, s45 100000, (the cost of
the program from February l to y.
and second, s11 100000 (the cost of
carrying 10000 workers on Federal
projects for one MONTH. AS to the
first item, it is obvious that q work
program employing 10000 persons
in all sections of the country must
maintain a working fund consisting
largely Of advance pay roll encum-
brances for one week; namely, S45,-
600, 900. A similar amount will be
carried over at the end of the fiscal
year and consequently this factor
does not affect the amount of the
appropriation required. AS to the
$l1 900 900 item, the cost of Federal
projects for one month is SIS 500 900
and not $l1 100000 as stated in de-
bate. Federal agencies operating
work projects have funds which
will last through February totaling
this amount.
"All If the other amounts men
toned in debate, quoting from
Treasury reports, include other
agencies than the Works Progress
Administration. A more careful
reading of these reports will show
that the amounts made available to
the Works Progress Administration
are in agreement with tables la and
Id based on Treasury reports, and
submitted by me in my direct testi-
mony (pages S and 6 of the Sem
ate hearings).
Il am attaching a memorandum
showing the reconciliation of the
various amounts mentioned in yes
terday's debate as we'll as cores
pondence with Mr.. Bell, acting di-
rector of the Bureau of the Budget,
in which he states very definitely
that an appropriation of 1915, 5,000,-
900 will be necessary if the employ
ment schedule mentioned in the
Presidents relief message is to be
followed for the balance of the fiscal

the same time paid more taxes IN

expenses, sinking fund, interest on

investment, and made so much
money it had to reduce rates again

ut has been the boast of private
power companies" Mr.. Rankin said,
that Washington has a low maxi
mum rate. But the trouble Is that
the rates are not scaled down
enough. The minimum in WASH
ington is IS mills per kilowatt hour
and in Tupelo it is mills kilowatt
hour"
In Washington consumers are re-
qulred to operate two or more
meters" Mr.. Rankin said, under
camouf1age of schedules, which is
done for the purpose of forcing
them to pay the top rate for the
maximum amount of power. The
same thing is true with reference
to the commercial consumers-mer-
chants, hotels, restaurants. garages
and filling station operators"

Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions, which yesterday sent out new
appeals to its membership to re-
quest their Senators and Repre-

Following the vote on the main
issue-the amount-the Senate will
turn to other changes the Appro-
priations Committee made in the
House bill, most important of which
are:
Return to the prevailing wage
principle of existing law, by striking
out the House clause to restrict the
wage differential between different
localities to 25 per cent.
The Hatch amendments, fixing
stringent penalties for political ac-
tivity in relief.
Elimination of the House ban on
aliens on relief by restoring the ex-
isting rule, which gives veterans and
other citizens preference, but per-
mlts foreign-born to be employed

Wage-Hour Hearing
10 Clarity Status
Of High-Sa|aried
Andrews Says All Views
Will Be Thoroughly
Sounded in Few Weeks.

Further Qualification of the intent
Of Congress in exempting "profes-
sional, administrative and executive
workers" from provisions of the
wage and hour law may result from
hearings to be held within a few
weeks on proposals to remove from
the scope of the act comparatively
high-salaried, hite-collar workers.
Administrator Elmer F. Andrews
announced yesterday such hearings
will be held, with all phases of this
troublesome problem and all view
points to be thoroughly sounded.
Greatest uncertainty center on
the exact status of white collared
workers receiving from $3.50 up per
: month and not subjected to rigid
hours of labor. Disagreement exists
among such workers, among en-
ployers and among administrative
officers of the Wage-hour law as to
whether such employees may be
classed among the professional,
administrative and executive work.
ers'; whether they should be exempt
in any event from the provisions
Of the law. and, if they should be
exempt, whether such exemption
should be established by administra-
tive regulation or by specific action
of Congress.
In declaring he would invite an
exchange of opinion on the matter
at date not yet settled, Mr..
Andrews said yesterday he still is
undecided himself on all these
points.
The administrator also took oc-
casion yesterday to deny that he
has proposed or is supporting any
suggested amendments to the wage
hour law. Three months of expert
ence in applying a new statute are
insufficient, he said, to supply
adequate basis for judging the need
Aor the merits Of proposed revisions.
