Bo-Bo 10 Take
0nWd|ters,
Reds TODAY
BY Leo MACDONELL

LAKELAND. Fla, March o.
Buck Newson and Bucky Walters.
each of whom won two games
without meeting each other In
the World Series last Fall, were
to clash in an exhibition game
between the Tigers and Reds here
this afternoon.
With. the exception that Billy
Myers Is gone from Cincinnati
and Dick Bartell's ailing ankle
may keep him on the bench. the
lineups for today's renewal of the
1910 post-season classic may be
the same as those used last Octo-
Der.
The Tigers and Reds met in
Tampa the other day but the line
ups were generously sprinkled with
recruits and the contest, which
was won by the National Leaguers.
8 to 8, did not have much of a
World Series flavor.
FANS EXPECT TREAT
But with Newson and Walters
pitching and most OF the regulars.
if not all. in both batting orders.
fans here were anticipating a
treat more or less rare.
Walters was the victor in both
of the series games in which
Schoolboy Rowe started. holding
the Tigers to three hits in the Sec
ond game of the set for 5 to 3
victory and five hits in the sixth
game for 4 to 0 shutout.
But If they hope TO beat the
Reds. the Tigers will have to do
better than they did against the
Washington Senators in Orlando
yesterday. The supposedly weak
Senators licked the supposedly
powerful Tigers, 7 to 5. 1t was
Washington's second win over the
Tigers and the fourth loss in SIX
starts for Del Bakers clan down
here this Spring.
POUNCE ON CORSICA
Yielding seven hits and all Of
Washington seven runs in three
innings, Johnny Corsica made his
debut in Spring inter-club compe-
tition inauspiciously. Old gents
like Sam West. Buddy Lewis and
Cecil Travis helped to bat home
runs off Johnny.
Harold Newhouser replaced his
chum and accredited himself well
for three frames. So did AL Benton,
who finished.
James tDopey) Dean hurled
four chukkers. during which the
Washington recruit gave up five
hits and five tallies. His wildness
helped TO produce Tiger markers

Charley Gehringer and Pat Null

Pirates VS.. Stursis
They Clash Tonight for Class B State Title;
Ostern,an and Smith Shine
By GEORGE MASKIN

EAST LANSING. March p
There are two burning questions
before the house of experts here
today in connection with the battle
between Detroit st. Theresa and
Sturgis for the Class r, state high
school basketball championship to-
night.
No. has TO do with whether
ST Theresa's big shotS-6-foot. g.
inch Don Osterman and smuch
smaller Joey Smith--can top off
their prep careers with another
smashing performance in Jenison
FieldhouSe.
No. 2 deals with whether
Sturgis successfully can negotiate
the zone" defense which St.
Theresa will throw at the combina-
ton from southwestern Michigan.
FISHERMAN, SMITH STAR
How important Osterman and
Smith are to the St. Theresa cause
was proved for the eighteenth time
this Winter 1.-THE Pirates haven't
lost game) when the Detroiters
pushed Dawson to the sidelines in
the semifinals last night. 3l-27.
Between them Osterman and
Smith virtually were the entire St
Theresa show. Their combined eff
-offensively-were good for
"a points. with Osterman getting
16 of them.
AS for the zone" defense angle.
Sturgis goes red hot against the
more widely used ''man-for-man. -
For an example one needs only to
turn to Sturgis final triumphs
over Mt. Pleasant, a generally
powerful aggregation. 1918.
Sturgis. one of the tallest teams
in the state really turned on the
heat. The school ran up Is points
in the first 13 minutes. whileohold-
ing Mt. Pleasant scoreless.

By CLAYTON HELPER

Dig deep into the boxing record
and you'll find a saga OF endurance
in the story of Jake Kilrain who
stayed IS rounds with the great
John L. Sullivan.
But turn the page back just q
day. and you'll find a saga OF
endurance not to be overshadowed
by that classic of 1899. It's the
story of Abe Simon. that 255-
pound brute of a man who stayed
Is rounds with Joe Louis before
he became the victim of tech
nical knockout.
Kilrain was a light heavyweight
who was able to stay with the big
men because of his boxing skill.
Not so with Ample Abe. whose
greatest asset is his will to win.
His knowledge of boxing is still in
the fundamental stage, very
fundamental.

But Abe had the heart, and he
had the brute strength to stay
with the heavyweight champion OF
the world longer than any of the
champions knockout victims. Only
two challengers have stayed
longer. Tommy Farr and Arturo
Godoy who lost 15-round decisions.

There were 18,908 at Olympia

courage, only eight less than the
record crowd that saw Mickey
Walker beat Johnny Risko there
back in 1880. And this second larg.

ABE CONNECTS FIRST
Big Abe made fight of it from
the first bell, rushing his great
hulk across the ring to land the
first blow. 1t was a left jab that
did no damage, but it was a har-
binger of things to come.
Joe hooked a solid right that
sent the challenger to the floor
for no count in that round. the
first knockout of Simon's career,
and that was also a harbinger Of
things to come. But they took
long time coming, although that
hook opened an old gym cut above

Britain is believed already to have

the United States must furnish more

production program may thus be
necessary over and beyond the goal
originally set by the President.

Spreading Strike

The spread OF the captive coal
strike to the commercial fields, &C
companied by increasingly serious
outbreaks OF violence, casts grave
doubt over the validity of the prin-
cipal argument advanced by labor
spokesmen In behalf OF the closed or
union shop.
These spokesmen say that the
union shop, under which all en-
ployes covered by a contract are
compelled to become union members,
is essential to the maintenance of
discipline by union leaders. Unless
the union has control over all en-
ployes, it is contended, it is difficult
if not impossible to compel respect
for the contractual obligations as
sumed by the employees under the
terms of their agreement with the
employer.
Thus, the so-called Appalachian
agreement covering the miners in the
commercial fields provides for 4
union shop and contains a clause to
the effect that there shall be no
strikes during the life of the con-
tract. The employers granted the
union shop In exchange for the no.
strike clause, hoping thereby to in
sure uninterrupted production OF
COAL
But this hope has not been real
lied. On the contrary, it is being
cynically frustrated by the so-called
sympathy strikes in the commercial
mines, which have taken an esti-
mated total of 175,000 miners from
their jobs and which still are spread
ing. Neither John L. Lewis nor any
other ofIacial Of the United Nina

To the Editor OF The Star.
President Roosevelt says he is conf
dent that he has the power to seize the
strik,-bound mines. Assuming he has
the power, what will he do with the
coal properties after their seizure? SOL
diers cannot mine coal and would resent
assignment to such 4 task
There never has been a more impor-
tant question before the American peo-
pie than the present strikes. nor has any
important question been handled more
incompetently.
Any strong President whose only mo-
tive was the welfare of the country would
have settled these strikes promptly by
ordering troops to protect the people
who want to work. The great majority
Of the workers, whether union or nom

OF the strike situation 1t is unques-

disgraceful situation Is due to the labor
policies of the administration in the
past and the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
has an eye to the political future and
therefore is unwilling to do anything he
thinks may offend the labor vote

ground leveled of, it is 4 good thing

ground leveled of, 1t is 4 good thing to
pulverize the earth carefully.
This makes q good natural mulch
and protection to the bulbs beneath.
While the earth which has been put
around the bulbs should be pressed down
firmly with the hand, there will be an
inch or two at the surface which can be
divided finely with the fingers.
Nature. herself, will attend to this,
II the planter doesn't want to bother
with 1t.
In such dry weather as we have had
this fall, most OF the time, every patch
OF open ground tends to become dry and
fne.
Such = dust bowl in miniature, will
please sparrows no end.
Their favorite time for taking the
bath is in the afternoon, from three to
four O'Clock.
This, too. is their favorite singing time.
1t is possible even for persons who do
not like sparrows, as they say, to work
up some interest In them, II they will
watch for these two mid-afternoon tricks
of theirs
The singing Is communal, in the best
sense. 1t Is congregational singing, all
the members Of the band perched in
bushes
Full stomachs. in man or beast, make
for contentment, and full appreciation
OF music. Famous violinists will tell you
that 1t Is much better to attend q con-
cert of theirs after partaking of a small
meal than to come to the concert on an
empty stomach.
The dust bath is indulged in by a
dozen or more sparrows at time
They fly in, and then proceed to
wallow.
First they tilt a wing, then roll over
to the other side, and tilt that wing up
First thing you know they are flirting
the tail. then they almost roll over.
When from a dozen to 1s to 20 birds
are indulging in this sport all at once,
1t is quite sight, yet one which is often
missed by persons who pretend to
despise, as they put it, English sparrovs
Yet there Is no other species which
will put q this show for you.
II one ioes not intend to plant any
thing, II is good idea to dig up the
earth be heath shrub.
A KIT hen fork. as thousands OF women
have = demonstrated over the years, is an
exec .ent agricultural instrument, in
n nature.
A woman can do more gardening with
fork than most men with a set of
fancy cultivators a hoe, a rake and a
spade.
So cultivate small tract for the
sparrows. and get it dust-fne.
In this they will have q great deal
OF fun, and at the same time clean
themselves up bit for the new day.
1t Is new day We all need. birds and
men. not new order or new deal.

'KENNTDY STREET.

Dear Sir:
II have done everything for the birds
in my yard which 1t is possible to do.
but maybe you know something new.
II have put them up feeding stations
and bird baths and coconut shells. and
I have seen to their comfort In many
other ways.
I'm very cold weather I heat water
for them and put it out in shallow
pans, to make sure they can have some
thing to drink and can take 4 bath.
II put out sand for their craws and
have planted berried shrubs, and even
q mulberry tree for them, although it
has no muloerries on it yet.
Il must say the birds seem to appre-
ciate what I am trying to do for them.
They come in great numbers and literally
eat me out OF house and home.
II still would like to do something
for them. so am writing to you to And
out what more can be done. I would
especially like to help the birds that
most people do not like the sparrows and
the starlinss.
IT there Is anything you can think
Of let me know, and I am sure my birds
will appreciate it.
Cordially yours, M. r."
There is one thing you might do to
please the English sparrows
This is to construct a dust bath for
them.
Elephants and English sparrows, the
large and the small Of it, like dust baths.
Out at the Zoo in summer you can
see the elephants blowing dust over their
hides.
This acts as a sort of animal talcum
powder.
Fastidious humans might shrink from
the contact, but many animals like to
roll in the dust.
Household dogs and cats often to the
despair OF tidy housewives, will go into
the street and there roll in defiance Of
man-made sanitation.
AS far as the creatures know. there
is nothing harmful in the process. To
them 1t is pleasing
Many species of birds like TO take
dust baths. but few of them to such an
extent as the sparrows
1t is a good thing to construct a
dust bathing place for them.
The sport they will have there will
entertain both themselves and observefs.
1t is not necessary to make a special
place for the dust bath.
1t is best if it comes into being .s
the result of late fall planting in f ~er
border or bed.

Workers has evidenced the slightest
desire to stop these walkouts, and, in
fact, there is considerable reason to
believe that they are being tacitly
encouraged.
In these circumstances, the no.
strike clause Of the Appalachian
agreement becomes an empty pledge
and the principal argument ad-
vanced for the union shop loses all
meaning. The record Of bad faith
which now is being made in the coal
fields will not be forgotten when new
demands for the union shop are
forthcoming.

Emergency Public Works

After getting on to bad start, the
bill to authorize the District OF Co.
lumbia to receive up to $4,000, 900
Of Lanham Act appropriations for
emergency public works is making
favorable progress at the Capitol.
Evidencing a realistic appreciation
of the urgent need for Federal funds
to meet extraordinary demands Of
defense agencies for additional
municipal services, the Fiscal Affairs
subcommittee of the House District
Committee has reported its approval
of legislation to make the District
eligible to share with the States In
loans and grants from the $l50,000.-
900 Lanham fund.
When this bill first came up for
hearings, representatives OF the
Federal Works Agency startled the
subcommittee and the Commission
ers by announcing that all OF the
Sl50000,0Oo already had been allo-
Gated outside the District and that
there was serious question as to the
right of Washington to obtain any
Of the money, even If some were
available. Later the F. w. A. modi-
fed its position, stating that some Of
the local projects were in the eligible
category and that some $4,000, 900
OF surplus from previous allocations
might be made available to finance
them.
The Commissioners properly have
continued to press for special legisla-
ton which would eliminate all ele-
ments of uncertainty as to Washing
tons status under the Lanham Act.
The bill before the House District
Committee not only would accord
the District the right to accept loans
and grants from the fund, but
specifically would authorize the loan
administrator to allot as much as
5000, 900 for such emergency prof.
ects as the installation Of costly new
filters and pumps at the Dalecarlia
Reservoir, the laying of new water
mains to military reservations, the
provision of additional school facili-
ties, the extension of sewers and the
Improvement of health services.
There is pending a bill to appropri-
ate another $50 900 900 for defense
public works, and II sufficient money
cannot be found in the original
Lanham Act fund to take care Of
local needs, Congress should see to
1t that an adequate amount Of the
second appropriation is earmarked
for the District. The bill approved
by Chairman Hunters subcommittee
Is designed to achieve that end, and
Congress. in fairness to the National
Capital, should pass it without delay.

Defends Patman Amendment
Against Editorial Criticism.

To the Editor of The Star.
Your editorial, THE Patman Amend
ment," in The Star for November 10
gives distorted picture Of what the
District rent control bill, now pending in
Congress, would do.
In fact, the whole handling of the
legislative history of the bill by the press
gives the false impression that Repre-
sentative Patman is engaged in capri
cious. obstructioniSt tactics in offering
and insisting on his amendment.
That is not true The Patman amend
ment is essential if the bill really is in
tended to effect the kind of rent control
required by the peculiar Washington sit
uation.
Your editorial states. tenants would
have the right to petition for reduction
Of any frozen rents and the adminis-
traitor would have full authority to re-
duce them below the frozen figure if
circumstances should warrant You
then proceed to say that IF the tenant
could show that his rent on January /,
1910, which is the freezing date pro-
vided in the bill (actually the date is
January l, 194D was unreasonably high.
the administrator would have the right
to adjust"
A reading Of the bill actually shows no
. such general grant of power to the ad-
ministrator. The bill specifically lists the
causes for which the administrator may
cause . downward adjustment to be
made. They are Cd II taxes or mainte-
nance costs decrease, (O II the tenant is
able to show that he is paying more
than the prevailing rental for compa-
rable quarters, or 80 If services are re-
duced
None of these meets the injustice
which the Patman amendment seeks to
correct. namely. that on January 1, ls4l,
the freezing date. the general level OF
rents, the proportion of tenants income
allotted to rent and return on real es-
tate investment were already too high
and ought to be reduced.
1t generally u accepted that . max.
