an informal meeting
for this weekend to study cost
diagrams to be worked out by
Thomas J. Wilson, State Person.
mel Director, the commission will
meet formally next Tuesday to
adopt q final pay scale for more
than 16, 900 state workers.
Commissioner William Palmer
said the commission was consid-
ering two methods of obtaining
relief for the low-paid workers:
/. Requiring m ployes be
granted the automatic semi-an-
nual increases they were prom
ised" In 1897 and 1898 and have
not received in most instances.
2. Fixing a minimum wage
level of 500 month, compared
with the current SIS minimum
and a proposed $50 under the
tentative compensation plan now
before the commission.
Palmer said the crux of both
proposals was a determination of
how much they would increase
state operating costs.
Even before q public hearing
in the Senate chambers yester-
day which drew 800 employees
nd departmental representa-
tives, the commission was report
ed split on the question of what
minima should be allowed. In
formed persons said Commits
sioner Alex j. Groesbeck, for
mer governor, was restrained on
ly by the appeals of his col
leagues from declaring openly
at the hearing for a SIPS a month
minimum.
Several commissioners said In.
formally they recognized en-
ployes in the lower bracket:

departmental budgets already
have been fixed by the legisla'
ture and signed into law by the
governor.

SPEAKING OF
SPORTS

THE American league, IN organi-
l zation consisting Of the New
York Yankees and seven other
vaguely remembered baseball
teams. finally has revealed what
farm boys do when they leave the
old homestead in search Of the
bright lights.
They become baseball pitchers b
the American Isague-that II, msst
Il them do. Some catch, ssme bsb-
bic about the infeA, and . few are
content 70 earn their salaries IN tie
sutAeld. But most q them Fitch.
The American league service bu-
reau, which doesn't mind being
quoted in an off-hand way in the
public prints, has compiled q truly
impressive list Of junior circuit play
ers who once lived close to the soil.
The bureau doesn't infer that the
boys each MIXED 10 cows before
breakfast, but it does give the i'm
preston that their agricultural Ca
reers were not limited to a two-week
sojourn to Uncle Hiram's l60-acre
ranch in the fall of 80.
The formidable list includes Pitch
ers Eden Auker, Vern Kennedy.

4 Simple Record

For example, we would come to
the fourth tournament in the list.
The record might be something like
this-Hogan, $50 strokes; Snead. Sal:
Craig Wood, 84l; Sarazen, 842; Mel
son, 843. BY the start Of the seventh
tournament the count might be-Ho-
gan, LAO; Snead. l.442; Wood.
,443; etc.
Perhaps there Is 4 better way for
this to be worked out. But I know
the above method got by with .
rush the first and only time It was
tried. There Is now no follow-up In
the present system Of tournament
play. The leading money winner
and the Warden trophy winner might
easily be two different players.
What general interest would there
be in baseball if there were no stand
ing Of the clubs, no comparative
record of each teams ranking?
Coli has a great chance in the
way to add tremendously to a ma
tional public following from one
tournament to another X the P.G.A.
will get back Of the idea and put it
through.

Lyons. always a reliable player,
has had his share of outstanding
performances. On August 81, 1926,
he pitched a 8 to o no-hit game
against Boston. In 1939-when Ted
had lost the first flush of youth
he hurled u consecutive innings
without issuing a base on balls. He
led the league in games won in 1925
and 1927, scoring Il and n victories
respectively. He led the league in
complete games and innings pitched
in 1897 and 1880. and in shutouts in
1925 and 1910.

Former farmer boys who went IN

and Turner Of Chicago. The agri-

Outfelders originally claimed by
the farms include Charlie Keller Of
the Yankees, Lou Finney Of Boston.
Taft Wright Of Chicago. Beau Bell of
Cleveland and Buddie Lewis and
Sam West Of Washington.
In its appeal for the farm vote,
the American league overlooked one
good bet. Not an ex-farm boy b
listed among the eight managers.
Del Baker never got lost in the tall
corn, but he was born In Sherwood,
Ore. However, that doesn't qualify
him for = very high listing.

Follow.Up Value

The trouble today is that different
golf tournaments have no follow-up
value. Hogan wins-Snead wins
Wood wins-someone else wins.
The public soon becomes confused.
II has no combined record Of COM
parison to follow in the way of total
strokes, or for first, second, third,
etc, points.

Easter uprising in Dublin. After 90
days, having been tried in q civil
court and proved guilty, he was ex-
ecuted for treason.
