Game in Dire Straits
L Canadian Stars
Are Kept Out
D. c. Team, Like Others,
Is Comprised Mainly
Of Dominionites

Canada's participation in interna-
tional disturbances abroad virtually
has torpedoed the hockey industry,
and among those huddling in life
boats awaiting rescue Is Washing
toms Eastern Amateur League
franchise. Canadian ofncials, 1t
seems, hold the key to the situation.
What course is charted for hockey
in the United States this year will
be determined Friday at New York,
where officials will convene to dis
cuss possibility of importing the
Canadians despite the war. That,
of course. will depend entirely on
how Canada regards the situation.
If Canada refuses players per-
mission to chase pucks over here
ice hockey will suffer tremendous
loss, since approximately IS per
cent of the players in organized
hockey are Canadians. Washing
tons prospects would slither into a
comparative blackout.
Only Two Not Canadians.
S. G.. Leoffler, Riverside Stadium
owner, admits all except two of the
players lined up for the local squad
currently are in Canada. He doesn't
know Just where he stands at the
moment and won't know until after
Fridays meeting, but the outlook
isn't rosy.
Even provided the Canadian gov
ernment permits players to roam
rinks over here through the me-
dium of obtaining visas, there Is no
security they will linger long. If
the Germans start flirting with the
Maginot Line too amorously Cana
dians over here may be plucked
back to armed action Immediately
and disrupt the entire hockey setup.
Should the Canadian government
refuse to cough up its generous
supply of skate stars. which Is
likely, it is PROBABLE hockey officials
may attempt to struggle along with
homegrown products. The brand of
hockey, of course. will be inferior,
but at least they'll be able to keep
it going.
Your guess is as good as mine, -
means Loeff1er. They're gonna
try like the dickens to get those
players over here, but nobody knows
how its going to turn out. imagine
they'll 60 along with American
players if Canada dosen't let its
boys play, but I won't know any
thing definitely until after that
meeting"
Alvis Plans to Return.
Meanwhile, Ray Alvis, the River
side promoter who took the liberty
of announcing he had obtained
a franchise for that stadium last
year when none existed, says he'll
be back there again this year. He
has been declared in and out 90
much local sports fans are digesting
that slowly.
Regardless, Riverside's complexion
has been altered for the approach
ing season. 1t will be equipped with
more comfortable and better ar
ranged seats-they made slight
mistake of making it impossible to
sit and see from some spots last
year-a spiffy new roof and other
sorely needed improvements.
That Washington is fertile field
for hockey was demonstrated by the
gratifying turnouts for last year. S
few exhibition games. Leoffler
knows it will click. All he's worry
ing about now is collecting club
in the event Canada squelches pro-
posals of hockey officials. And he's
thinking Gen. Sherman was right.

The Cardinals are on the rise,
too, and the sacrifice of Medwick
might jeopardize their future. On
the other hand, Joseph is none too

that he has enough in reserve to

Government Printing Office won
it's final bracket only yesterday, in
their final section match of the year
against Works Progress Administra-

the printers, led by Joe Balestri
proved far too strong for the opposi-
ton. They won points from w. P

Press Box
Next Years Flag Eyed
By Driving Dodgers
By JOHN LARDNER.


NEW YORK, Sept 20 (NA.NA).
Its still little early to dive over
board, but take a look at the sched-
ule and see If you don't think that
the Brooklyn Dodgers are mortal
certainty-well, at least an even
bet-to reward their thousands of
vicarious adherents all over the
country by finishing in third place
this year.
Studying the program, your oper-
ative was startled to perceive that
eight of the Dodgers remaining
games are with the Phillies, four
with the Bees and two with the
Giants. Whom have they got TO
beat?' The Cubs of Chicago. And
the Cubs, in their final Western
stand, must play as follows: Car
dinals-SiX games. three in Chicago,
three in St. Louis. Pirates-Two
games at Pittsburgh.
Briefly, Brooklyn has six more
games left to play than the Cubs
have and the schedule favors them
decisively, even though they will
be in their home ball park for only
two of those contests. My message
to Brooklyn loyalists, from Coney
Islands coral strands to the Golden
Gate of San Francisco, is: Com
rades, take heart! I think we're in.
Rise Of Brooklyn Threatens
To CompIioote 20-Yeor Cycle
At
baseball nut in every town I've
ever seen has warm spot in his
heart for Brooklyn-in National
League cities the Brooks are always
second choice to the home club
the rise of Durocher's desperadoes
is significant because 1t threatens
to round out a 20-year cycle.
The cycle involves Brooklyn and
Cincinnati. forlorn and PROSTATE
beneath the heel of tyranny for the
two decades. Cincinnati won her
last pennant in 1919, Brooklyn in
1920. Here and now, in 1889. Gin
cinnati seems about to complete the
long see-saw trip back to first place.
1919 and 1899. And what do you
think the Dodgers have in mind?
You guessed it, 1920 and 1910.
The paths of the two clubs
roughly are parallel. The Reds
burst into the first division last year
to serve notice that they were on
their way. The next year they went
to the top. This year Brooklyn has
emerged as a first-dilvsion power
and next season, according to
Leland Stanford MacPhail, fearless
spokesman of the Dodgers, Der Tag
will arrive on schedule.

PREDICTS GOOD
SUMMER SEASON
COMMERCE BODY RECEIVES
LETTERS ON PROPOSED
VISITS TO KEY WEST

IF Key West will use only a
small percentage of the enterprise
shown by competing Florida
cities, We will have no dull sea-
son this summer, said Secre-
tary Singleton at the Chamber Of
Commerce.
He continued by saying that
every mail continues to bring
letters from people who wish to
come in May. June and July.
Saturday they had a visit from a
solid business man who has gone
back to arrange his affairs and
will probably come back and be-
come a part of the business life
of the city.
Two letters were received from
persons who have concluded that
from what they read in that little
folder, Welcome to Key West" +,
they would like to live here.
From that loyal friend of the city,
The Philadelphia Record, there
was received at the chamber the
names and addresses of 43 people
who called at The Record office
to inquire about a summers va
cation here.
Arriving in the mail was a page
proof of the pictures of Key West
which will appear in the World
Book Encyclopedia. Among the
photos were the Oldest House, a
splendid seagrape tree growing in
the yard of Miss Eta Patterson,
a scene on the sponge dock and
a view of the Overseas Highway.
The photos, it was said, were
taken by the battered old camera
which is the property of the
chamber.
'.All of which adds up to this,
said the secretary. Here is a
field ripe for the harvest. Have
we got enterprise enough to get
down off the fence, invest IN a
few harvesting tools and reap a
rich reward, or will we Just let
the whole thing slide?"

BERLIN, April 1O.-A new
twelve-cylinder airplane motor
without carburetor is hailed here
as Germany's latest contribution
towards modern aviation.
Constructed by the Junkeds
works, the engine is described as
being not much heavier than the
motor of big passenger car. 1t
is said to develop 1900 hp.
The place of the carburetor is
taken by a fuel pump which in

er conditions, it was stated.
Another claim that the danger
of fire is reduced greatly by this
system of pump feeding, as no
inflammable mixture is formed
outside of the combution cham
berS.
Another advantage is said to
be a considerable saving of fuel
as compared to carburetor-
equipped motor of the same size.
The saving is estimated at be-
tween Is and 20 per cent, which
means greater flying range or in
creased payload.

program promises to be COM

grants, by July l, the end of its
fiscal year, according 10 an
nOuncement today from the state
offices of the State Welfare
Board.
With ADO investigations given
precedence by district staffs the

600 children will then be receiv-
ing public assistance. third
of the funds expended will come
from the federal treasury and
The remaining 100000 from the
state till. Lack of state funds
delayed the Inauguration of the
Aid to Dependent Children pro-
gram until late in 1888
Because of limited available
funds and larger potential case
loads than can be taken care of
under present appropriations, al
lotmentS to counties have been
made on population basis.
In Monroe County the monthly
allotment is S726.OO, while in
March seven families or IL chill
dTen were on the payroll for a
total sum of $4,000. The aver
age grant per family was S29. 43
and per child S12.I2.
Estimates for the former State
