Western and Woodrow Wilson to-
day were to start the weeks inter-
high baseball series at Wilson Sta
dium with q game postponed from
last Friday and to keep pace with
unbeaten Central at the top Of the
standing Western must win.
Three other title games are sched-
uled this week, Central and Western
being down for two each. Tomor-
row Central invades Anacostia and
on Friday Eastern and Western meet
at Western and Central engages
Tech at home.
So far Anacostia is the lone team
to miss winning, having lost In 10
innings to Tech and bowed without
run to Eastern. A defeat today
for Western would throw 1t into q
triple tie for fourth place with Tech
and Wilson.
Pitching for Western today was to
be Carmel Nance, who won an extra
inning duel with Eddie Vermillion
Of Roosevelt three weeks ago. Nino
Briscuso, who lost to Central and
Tech before beating Roosevelt, was
to hurl for Wilson.
Tomorrow Central will start either

games, will start for the Indians.
Four other scholastic games were
to be played today. Bethesda Chevy

Press Box
Dodgers, 1t Appears,
Have Peoples Vote
BY JOHN LARDNER,

LOUISVILLE, KY, May (N.A
NA).-The dynamic Dodgers of
Brooklyn are exerting their wild
red hook spell upon all kinds of
people in all kinds of country far
removed from the aowery banks of
the Gowanus Canal, which lopes
past Ebbets Field on its way to the
sea, with a high-class consignment
OF used grapefruit.
In other words, the rise of the
Brooklyns is a national develop
ment, not local. Here in Louisville,
where you expect to hear the burgh-
ers talking about nothing but horses
and juleps-though the juleps suf-
fer at Derby time, being chain-store
stuff and largely vegetable-they
stop you in the street and say:
What about them Dodgers?
Have they got chance?"
Baseball still would be a strong
and healthy sport If the Dodgers
we're back in their old purlieus, in
the neighborhood of sixth or sew
enth place, but the bold Brooks,
under the reticent management Of
Leland Stanford MacPhail and Leo
Durocher. have added fresh interest
to the game by their antics up
around the top. think it is safe
to say that 80 per cent of the peo-
pie outside of National League
towns who follow baseball are root
ing for Brooklyn to win.

louisviIIe's Citizens Hozy
About Brooklyn.

LouisviIIe's Citizens Hozy
About Brooklyn.
In Louisville, OF course, there is
some practical foundation for this,
because Peewee Reese, the young
Dodger shortstop, is native son
and a hero of the playoffs and the
little world series last year. They
ask about PeeWee-but I think they
would be asking about the Dodgers
if Peewee still were in Louisville
trying to find something on his
chin to shave.
There seems to be considerable
speculation about what sort of
place Brooklyn is. The youngest
schoolchild knows that Brooklyn Is
a tropical island inhabited by cult
lists who speak a dialect of their
own, connected with the outside
world by bridges of ropes and pom
toons. It costs only 5 cents to get
there from any part of the globe,
since Brooklyn is joined by subway
with every city from Melbourne,
Australia, to Stockholm, Sweden
But does any one ever get back?
Are the natives friendly? Are they
anthropophagous? Do they plan
to secede from the Union? And
will they burn most of New York,
Connecticut and New Jersey when
they win the World Series?
The fact is that the citizens of
Brooklyn are as much surprised by
the rise of the Dodgers as any one
else, though by this time they have
assumed an easy nonchalance and
pretend that they knew all along
that the team would start the year
with nine straight wins. Some of
the natives are slightly psychic, at
that. When Tex Carleton was pitch
ing against Cincinnati the other
day and did not give a hit in the
flrst two innings, one Brooklyn
radio listener offered to bet that
Tex would pitch no-hit game.
You're crazy" said a transient
who had come to Flatbush to trade
glass beads for furs. "Ill bet you
q hundred to one he don't"
"You got bet" said the prophet
grimly. and when the day was over
he collected the full amount of the
wager ($D while pointing out to
his victim that Carleton was fated
to perform this feat and that
every true believer should have
anticipated it.
Jaw, he was lucky" said the
visitor. He leaves a wife and two
children.
FIotbush Fons Resent
Outsiders Booking.
When Cincinnati interrupted the
golden streak by pouncing on Hugh
Casey for eight runs in one inning
the next day, there was some talk
along the Gowanus of demanding
an investigation by Judge Lands.
This project fell through when one
of the peoples leaders recalled that
Lands had once spoken harshly
to Leo Durocher. You can't put
your confidence in man like that.
However, if the Dodgers lose three
games this month, it's safe bet
that their supporters will charge
a plot. And they will be right, too.
Something funny must be going on
when the Dodgers lose three in
month.
The fans of Brooklyn would be
astonished to learn that so many
people in other parts of the country
are roofing for their team. Also,
they would be sore. They do not
think that they need any help.
Whose ball club Is this?" Is the
way they feel about 1t along the
dreamy GOWanuS.

Boss Protected
From 'ChiselerS'
By Wage-HOur Law

A remarkable demonstration
of how employers, who want to
be fair to their workers, can be
protected from cut-throat CHS
elers through the use Of the
Wage-Hour Act, occurred this
week in Baltimore.
For years wholesale produce
merchants in the Maryland me-
tropolis slaved their employees
almost unlimited hours - with
the sky as the ceiling. Fair
minded employers tried to cor
rect the situation, but were help
less because of the destructive
competition by sweatshop rivals.
Wage-Hour inspectors recent
ly went into action to clean up
the situation. The Baltimore
Fruit and Produce Association,
an alliance that included many
of the dealers, gave enthusiastic
cooperation.
AS a result 73 produce men
were forced to sign a consent
decree in Federal court, agree
ing to slash the hours of their
employees from as high as rs
hours per week to 40-and even
more important, without reduc-
ing their pay.
Now, with all concerns main
tanning a 40-hour week, en-
ployers and employees alike can
find few hours to spend with
their families, and don't have
to be worrying about cut-throat
competition.

Attorney General Thomas j.
Herbert said this week in an

Mr.. Herbert said that the sub

him could not make the soldier
teachers contribution and furth-
er that the Teachers Retirement
Board does not possess the pow
er to receive such contributions.
When, by reason of illness, ac-
cident or other reason which
may be approved by the Teach
ers Retirement Board, a teach
er is prevented from making his
contribution to the system for
any payroll period or periods,
he may make up the delinquent
payments from following pay
roll periods during the same
year. The power to make up
back payments does not extend
beyond the same year in which
the teacher was prevented from
making his regular contributions
