Joe Would Find Gilboo
Delightful Place

1t now is 1904, at a liberal esti-
mate. The radio speech? Let's skip
it. In the normal course of events
Joe would say hello to his mother
and tell her he won But Joes
mother knows that already. She
was listening to the fight. Joe is
just wasting time here-he is COM
mitting a work of supererogation-
and, furthermore, he can say hello
to his mother when he gets home
She'll be glad to see him.
Thus, we return by motorcycle to
the dressing room, where an assist
ant is holding out Joe's coat, vest
and shirt in one unit, with collar
and tie attached. Joe jumps into
his pants from 10:O615 to 1O:O6.18.
He already has shoes on. Shower?
For what? We didn't work up a
sweat, did we? Interviews should
require 10 seconds, as follows: "It
was an interesting fight. I'll send
flowers as soon as I know what hos
pital he's at"
The car is at the curb outside,
motor running. Joe reaches the
depot at 1919, buys a box of peanut
brittle at 10:19.30 and catches the
train on the fly at 10:2002.
Come to think of it, I believe
that train goes to Gilboa, N. H.
It's a nice place. Joerl like it

Quartet From D. C.. on Terps'
Net Team; Maryland Scores
In Baseball, Lacrosse

A couple of strangers to Mary
lands varsity tennis squad will ap-
pear in the starting lineup Thurs
day, when the Terps haul out their
f1y-swatters to engage William and
Mary in their opening match of the
season at College Park. The new
comers are Doyle Royal, former
Roosevelt star, and Harry Baugher
of Catonsville.
Their addition, incidentally, as
Sures Coach Les Bopst of twin
city lineup, divided between Balti-
more and this city, a happening
which would be considered good
matchmaking in fistic circles. Bopst,
however, is seeking racketers who
have enough "oomph" on the ball
to knock off a majority OF opponents
this season.
Allie Ritzenberg ex-Centralite,
and Nate Askin, Southern Confer
ence doubles champs, will handle
the top singles assignments and pair
as usual. Jack Phillips and Phil
Burkom are slated to play the third
and fourth singles and form the No.
2 doubles combination. Royal and
Baugher are down for the No. and
6 singles, with Jim Hardy and Jim
Burnside, from Tech and Western.
respectively, pairing for the No. 3
doubles.
Maryland got outdoors yesterday
for the first time. but Bopst has
groomed his charges painstakingly
in Ritchie Coliseum and expects
them to get of on the right foot.
Burt Shipley. major domo of the
Old Liners diamond forces. thinks
he has a couple of major league
prospects in Hugh Keller. Charley S
brother, and Lefty Earl Springer,
the nonchalant southpaw, and is
telling the world so.
Keller did nothing to jar Shipley' S
faith in him yesterday, pounding
out three hits in five trips to the
plate to boost his average to .563
for four games, as Maryland cut
down Vermont, 1873, while Sprin-
gers sterling victory over Dart
mouth last Saturday still is fresh IN
fans minds.
Some idle gossip has been heard
about Keller's weak throwing arm,
but Shipley scouts this as a rank
untruth, pointing to yesterdays
game as we'll as that with Dart
mouth, in which Hugh's pegs were
all strong enough. Against Dart
mouth, particularly. on a throw to
the plate from deep left field, did
his arm look particularly good. He
unheaved a Di Maggie throw that
was so weak it banged into the
backstop.
Pershing Mondorff displayed good
mound form yesterday in holding
Vermont to six hits, all scattered.
Bengoechea, Mcdonald and Maisel
shared Maryland batting honors,
with Keller accounting for more
than half Of the Terps' 10 blows.
Seven runs in the second sealed
Vermont's fate.

Should Ride to Ring
On Motorcycle

First of all. We fritter away a
valuable minute walking down the
aisle to the ring. A motorcycle
would cut that time in half. prob
ably would cut several customers in
half, too; but you have to make
sacrifices to get results.
Next, we must do something about
H. Balogh, the announcer. What
can Balogh tell the crowd that it
doesn't know already? Which is
Louis and which is Godoy? Nope,
the fans know that. Louis is the
fellow with the coat of tan. So
let us dispense with Balogh and get
down to business.
Louis wasted certain amount
OF time in fighting Paychek-and
time is money. For instance, when
you let fight 60 more than one
round there is a minutes inter
mission-and minutes count. Joe
must study Jack Dempsey's fight
with Fred Fulton, in which Dempsey
walked Che should have rum across
the ring and knocked Fulton out
with one punch. If Joe can arrange
to do that to Godoy, We'll begin to
get somewhere.
Naturally, there is no call for the
announcer to announce who won,
because everybody who was not tying
his shoelace at the time will know
about that.

Stark hunger, widespread disease,

suicide were reported haunting
Cleveland's Negro and white job
less according to a study made
public this week by the Cleveland
Chapter of the American Asso-
citation of Social Workers, assisted
by twenty-nine other social agen-
cies.
Covering 374 cases selected at
random the survey, undertaken at
the request of City Welfare Di-
rector Fred w. Ramsey, found that
since November 5, when the city
callously slashed 5000 persons
from the relief rolls and reduced
10000 others to a starvation SUBJ
sistence, hundreds have gone with
out food for days. Others were
reported to have rooted out meals
from garbage cans, and serious
illnesses have increased.
While the illnesses covered a
wide field, it was found that pneu-
monia, influenza and pleurisy cases
are most numerous, and that tuber-
cular, diabetic and heart conditions
were aggravated seriously.
The study revealed that among
the 374 persons examined, ten
had threatened suicide and sixteen
have approached mental break
downs.

Taking issue with some of the re-

cial Security, when viewed from
the whole program as arranged

is a wonderful thing, and must be
considered in the light of how much
good it will do the majority of
the people"
On the other hand, he continued,

standpoint, the theory is good, IF
it is actually put into effect ac-
cording to the regulations as laid
down by the government.

UNEMPLOYMENT
COMPENSATION
By Judge Lawrence WEIGH

o1 O0dSC Lawrence " Cl1il
In the last article the term &C
cident was explained and as set
forth it mean an event which hap
pened suddenly and violently.
Likewise the term occupational di-
sease was explained.
There are certain class of cases
which from all the appearances
are occupational diseases in nature
but which the courts have held to
be accidents within the meaning of
the law if certain other condi-
tons are present. These cases are
freezing cases, heat stroke or sun
stroke cases and pneumonia cases.
In 1881 a man was working on
a county road fore an outstate
county. Suddenly he was overcome
by the heat and died that same day
from a heat stroke. He was work
ing a slight depression and there
were obstacles such as piles of
sand, bricks, ETC., piled all around
the place where he was working
so that the breeze which was blow
ing, was cut off from him. The
Supreme Court, in holding that
this was an accident within the
meaning of the law, said, Heat
pr%ostration may be a compensate
accident under the workmen's
compensation law, if the workman
is subjected to a greater hazard
from the heat than that to which
the public generally in that locali-
ty is subject"
In 1886 a workman was en-
ployed by the state to shovel snow
off of a highway and in doing so
he froze one of his hands. His en-
ployer failed to provide a place for
him to warm himself when he got
cold and he was shoveling this
snow on the top OF the NIL where
the cold wind hit him. The court
held, chat the employees exposure
to cold was special, peculiar danger,
greater than that of the general
public in the same locality, so
that freezing of his hand consti-
tuted an accident arising out of
and in the course Of his employ
ment.
Pneumonia cases may be consid-
cred compensate if an employee
received an accident and by reason
of lowered resistance from the ac-
cident he contracted pneumonia.

ST. LOUIS YOUTH ADMITS A
HOLDUPS, 3 OF SAME FIRM

st. Louis, Jan. a (ANP)-A
youth who identified himself as
Theodore Washington, 10 years old
admitted to police after his arrest
last Wednesday that he has staged
four holdups, netting him a total
of $108 in cash.
Police said their attention was
attracted to the youth when they
observed him spending money free
ly in the c%olored district. Arrested
for questioning, he was booked as
suspected of armed robbery after
his victims had identified him.
Officers said Washington's hold
ups included three of the same
firm. Last March, they said, he
held up Herman Schaefer, liquor
store proprietor, and took $40. A
month later he returned and took
$38 from Schaefer; then on Dec. IL
he held up Schaefer's wife at their
new Jefferson avenue store, took
$50. Last Tuesday night, according
to police, Washington held up Wal
ter Street, clerk in a drug store
and took $21.
