College Boasts Relic
of Washington Days

AS part of their observance of
Washington's Birthday, Goucher
College students paused to inspect
bell in the rotunda of Goucher
Hall which rang for George Wash
ington in 1889 when he was en-
route from Philadelphia to Balti-
more after his election to the
Presidency.
The bell originally was hung in
Cokesbury College at Abingdon,
Md. When Washington passed
Cokesbury. the 20 students and A
professors of the college lined up
to greet him. The bell was rung
until Washington was out of sight.
After Cokesbury College burned
in 1875, the bell was found among
the ruins. At the founding of
Goucher, a little more than a half
century ago, the bell was presented
to the new institution. 1t is used
today to call students to classes.

player. But Terry insists that Zeke
is worth that much to the Giants
even if he "only sits on the bench"
Bonura's better-than-average sal
airy won't help him get job on an
other major league club. Terry once
hoped to send him to Pittsburgh,
but the Pirates weren't interested.
Zeke has q big following in Chi
cago, and the Cubs might give him
a chance, but when he came to the
Giants there was an understanding
between the White Sox, where he be-
gan his major league career, and
Clark Griffith Of Washington, that
the big Italian would not be sold to
the Cubs. The White Sox wanted
this understood before they waived
on him.
Terry expects Carl Hubbell to win
18 games this year, and has a large
share Of confidence in Pitchers Hal
Schumacher, Cliff Melton, Harry
Gumbert and Bill Lohrman.
Giant Roster
Asked about Paul Dean, the one
time st. Louis star drafted by the
Giants from Columbus Of the Ameri-
can association, Terry said it was
nothing more than a long shot.
HE pitched against us five in
nings last summer and had as much
stuff as I ever saw. We got re-
ports that he could 60 like whirl-
wind in the association, too, for FIVE
or six innings. I figured he would
make us a good relief man."
Terry counts on Babe Young to
play first base in Zeke's place.
Mickey Wick, purchased from
Newark, is slated for second; Bill
urges will be back at short, and
third base is wide open. Glen Stew
art seems to be the favored ca1di-
date.
Other jobs are filed by Catcher
Harry banning and Outfielders Mel
OFT, Frank Demaree and probably
Joe Moore.
The third base struggle will be
interesting. II narrOws down TO q
free-for-all between Stewart, Alban
Glossop, brought up from Jersey
City, and Lou Chiozza. Chiozza, who
was put out Of action last season
with a broken leg, will get first call
II his leg has healed, but Stewart
will start the season.
Rookie Johnny Rucker will get a
trial in the outfeld, and it's up
to Joe Moore if Joe Moore plays the
outfeld in 1870" The quotes are
Terry's, and it is doubtful that
Moore will be replaced in the out
Geld.

Speaking Of Sports
Giant Chances
Doubtful, Says
Pilot Bill Terry
BY ROBERT McSHANE

sReleased by Western Newspaper Union.)
lust about year and half ago
- Manager Bill Terry of the New
York Giants was growing very ex-
uberant over the abilities of the
newly acquired Zeke Bonura, first
baseman extraordinary and harbin-
ger Of better days.
Terry's enthusiasm wasn't limit
ed to Bonura. It was reflected in
the complete Giant roster. Mem
phis Bill declared that his 1899 Gil
ants were the most adroit, talented,
dynamic and astonishing baseball
players that it had been his good
fortune to manage.
The Giants did look that good
when they were on the road during
their western tour. 1t was their hot
test streak, and one that saw them
climb into second place. BOnura
largely was responsible for the
climb. His hitting was terrific. But
he gradually cooled off after re-
turning home. Truth of the matter
was that Zeke couldn't hit at the
spacious Polo Grounds, where his
long drives to left-center and center
were just outs. But Terry had COM
mitted himself. The Giants were 60
ing to win the pennant.
That the Giants failed to stay in
the first division is now history.
And Prophet Terry is a sadder,
though wiser, man. Today the Gil
ant pilot Is less venturesome long

THE Kentucky legis-
lature, states the Louis
vile Courier-Jo
"has received a measure
proposing to raise the
excise tax on distilled
spirits from Is to IS
! cents a pint. Excise taxes
are reflected instantly in
retail prices, and it is
of some importance to
know if an increase of
five cents a quart in re-
tail prices might further
encourage bootlegging
andmoonshining,which
, already cut deeply into
the sales of legitimate,
tax-paying distillers. 1t
is our impression, more
over, that the present ex-
else taxis high enough"

Reds. Doyle played the first two
games, played the next two and
then he went back.
$50 / had some experience and
had been around long enough to
know McGraw and the ball club by
the time got to San Antonio in the
spring of 1920. But / still didn't
know what 1t was all about.
mo young ball player can learn
much in less than one full season.
Looking back now, it seems to me
that it was long time before /
learned anything. All / had on my
side at San Antonio that spring
were speed and willingness. didn't
know how to play for hitters, but I
usually could get in front Of the ball
and knock it down with my chest
and pick it up and throw the hitter
out. Somebody said about Pepper
Martin few years ago that If his
chest held out he would make
good third baseman. That's what I
said about myself long before that.
Moved to Third Base
"You see, McGraw switched me
to third base that spring. I had
played shortstop at Fordham and
broken in with the Giants as a SUBJ
stitute for Doyle at second, but dur
ing the winter Heinie Zimmerman,
our third baseman, had been re-
leased, so Mac moved me to third.
Zone Of the first things he did was
to tell me to throw away the glove i
had and order a new one. My old
glove wasn't much bigger than a
kid gl0ve-a little, thin thing with
no pocket in it, but Mac got a glove
for me with which / could at least
knock the ball down, and that gave
me some protection.
'"Then he worked with me every
day. He taught me how to make
my moves-when to play in, back,
or half way-how to break for a
ball-how to get it away with the
least possible delay. There were
days when l couldn't seem to do
anything right and I'd worry and
fret, but he never lost patience with
me. He not only gave me lessons
in how to play third base but he also
taught me how to work with young
ball player. .
whats the main difference in
conditions as the rockies find them
nowadays and as they were when
you came up, Frank" asked.
They're easier" he said. kids
come up faster and, although they
are better paid, managers don't
seem to expect so much Of them.
In my time as rookie, you were
just fellow looking for a job.
You had to make your own way
and get to know the other fellows as
best you could. Nowadays they take
young fellow around and introduce
him to everybody to make him feel
at home.
II can't say that anybody ever
was disagreeabIe to me when I
broke in-I came after the period
In which the older players wouldn't
speak to the rockies and chased
them away from the plate IN batting
practice. But today the other play
ers are more helpful than they were
when I broke in"

from the production of chickens and

wife-has developed into S1,00O,-

DRAFT LAW

The CONSUMPTION bill is law and
it is high time. But because of the
last-minute rush and the sheer poll
tics and demagoguery of part of the
debate, a perfectly unavoidable, un-
constitutional and almost unintelli-
gible provision was jimmied into it
the provision relating to compul-
sorry orders and, in the alternative
or in addition, the condemnation of
plants.
1t provides that either the secre-
tary of war or the secretary of the
navy may place an order with a
manufacturer at a price fixed by
the secretary. II the manufacturer
doesn't proceed to fill it at that price
and give it priority over all other
orders, it shall be deemed a felony
punishable by three years impris-
onment and fine up to $50, 900.
Also, in case Of . failure not only
to take but to eli the order, the
plant may be seized and operated
by the government.

eggs has increased steadily since the
low point of the depression but still
was 40 per cent below 1929 last year.
1t was, however, 40 per cent above
the 1910-1914 average.
Chickens and eggs brought farm
ers cash income averaging S454,
100000 in the 1904 period. Pro-
duction increased only slightly be-
tween 1910 and 1920, but prices more
than doubled and cash income ex-
ceeded 81 ,000, 000, 900. Production in
creased, but prices declined be-
tween 1920 and 1929.

NAZI CENSORSHIP

It's not being widely publicized,
but Nazi Germany already holds a
tight rein on all messages sent by
the state department to its diplomats
in parts of Europe. In fact, the
state department is unable to COM
municate at all with certain sections,
and communications to other Sec
tons must be relayed through Ber-
lin.
The department has its secret
codes for transmission of official
messages, but codes are no good if
the messages don't move.
If Mr.. Hull wants to communicate
with a member of the U. S. diplo-
matte staff in Paris, he cannot do so
directly, but must file to the new
French capital of Vichy, and from
there, subject to the whim of the
Petain government, the message
may be moved on to Paris.
A short time ago, messages had
to be sent via Berlin, with the hope
that Nazi officials would permit
the U. S. embassy there to relay the
message to Paris by courier.
Both Brussels and Antwerp are
completely cut off, except through
Berlin, but oddly enough, Rotterdam
and Antwerp are open for direct
communication. Any messages from
Washington to Norway's capital,
Oslo, must be routed through Stock
holm.
Note-Though this has meant a
reduction in official messages to Eu-
rope, the total of cable messages
clearing from the state department
is breaking all records for volume,
chiefly because of heavy communica-
ton with Latin America.

SECRET AIRPLANE CONTRACTS

The public is not going TO get any
more information about airplane
contracts let by the war department.
The army is putting the lid on as
a military precaution.
Inside fact is that news of recent
contracts was released only to offset
the impression that the work was
not getting ahead. Secretary of War
Stimson had stated on August 9 that
contracts had been let for only SO
planes of the 1900 authorized in
June.
Just month later, September 10,
the war department released figures
that told different story. Instead
of 80, the number of planes contract
ed for was 2,797. Fl
These figures were put out to re-
assure the public. But from now on
there will be no talking. The war
department is following the lead of
General Marshall, who says, "You
can't play poker with everybody
looking at your hand"

SMOKELESS POWDER
SHORTAGE

Destruction of the Kenvil, N. j.,
powder plant was far more seri-
Gus blow to national defense than
anyone in high official circles want
ed to admit.
with only two smokeless powder
plants in the entire Countrywide du-
Pont plant at Carney's Point, N. j.,
and the government-owned Picatin-
ny arsenal at Dover, N. j., not far
from Kenvil. 1t produces only a
very small amount of powder.
Real fact is that powder plants
are slow and cumbersome to build,
requiring series of buildings in
which the powder is gradually dried.
Two new plants are being rushed to
completion by the war department,
but they will not be finished until
next spring.
One of these is near Charlestown,
Ind, and will be operated by the
duPonts, though built by the gov
eminent at cost of SOS, 600, 900. The
other will be at Radford, Va, and
will be operated by the Hercules
O"dGl ny
the government at the same price.
How serious is the powder situa-
ton was illustrated by the fact that
one day after the New Jersey ex-
plosion, the war department issued
''speed-up" letters to both dupont
and Hercules, whereby they are or
dered to increase powder production
from 100000 pounds day to 300,-
900 pounds a day in the Radford
plant; and from 200, 1000 day to AGO.
900 day in the Charlestown, Ind,
plant. This means that the plants
will be bigger, but it does not mean
they will be finished earlier.
Day after the New Jersey eXplo-
sion, also, the war department sent
a confidential memo to the White
House on the seriousness of the pow
der situation.
Note-German intelligence agents
unquestionably knew the exact ca
pacity of American powder facto-
ries, and how limited our present
production was-namely, 100000
pounds a year. They must have
known also that the destruction of
one factory would throw the Unit
