McNair Cuts Irf

French Surprises
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

W
Baseball has been turned into

two or three days and the average

Nobdy can tell where a ballplayer
will pop up next.
First, Buddy RoSar fed the New
York Yankees and they got hold OF
Rollie Hemsley quicker than you
could find a Cincinnati-New York
train in a timetable.
Then Eric McNair, who had been
sold by Detroit to Washington, and
supposedly quit baseball, was sold
instead to the Philadelphia Athletics
and decided to play some more.
And last night Lefty Larry French,
the jovial veteran who usually starts
game about once in 10 days, went
to the mound in Pittsburgh on one
days rest and hurled a five-hit. so
shutout tor the Brooklyn Dodgers
against the Pirates.

The question of how Hemsley, who

with Cincinnati in the National
League. could make five in one dou-

NAMED q mystery, however, as did
the case OF Ed Kearse.
Kearse Is Forgotten.
Ed was the third-string Yankee
catcher whom Mccarthy wouldn't
rely on for one day while Rosar
went to his home in Buffalo to take
a evils ervice examination andior to
he present at the birth Of his second
baby. Kearse was released to New
Ark to make room for Hemsley on
tine roster, then borrowed back for
an exhibition game at Amsterdam,
N. Y, yesterday because Hemsley
had caught 18 innings on Sunday.
But they didn't use Kearse after all.
Hemsley caught the exhibition.
French's appearance on the mound
at Pittsburgh was almost as unex-
pected. He had been knocked cut In
the sixth inning at st. Louis Sat-
urday, suffering his first defeat Of
the year, and was not in line to work
for several days.
But he went about his task thor

games and the Dodgers received

spite the mail-order firms objection

The War Labor Board has taken
the position" the decision said,
that any labor dispute which may

a strike or lockout is bound to di-
rectly affect not only large num-
ber of workers involved in it. but
also will affect detrimentally both
directly and indirectly the daily
lives of a large number of people,
is one which, IN light of war condi-

The board accepted the unani-

1T is certain that if the board
does not take jurisdiction the

To Be Completed
By Saturday

Check payments for more than
1000 of the Districts relief clients
and other wards have been delayed
due to the lateness in the enact
ment of the District appropriation
bill for the new fiscal year which
began today, but necessary account
ing arrangements are expected to be
completed by Saturday.
President Roosevelt signed the
new fund bill Monday, in ample time
for most District activities, but since
assistance checks are for advanced
periods instead of being payments
for services rendered in the past
ordinary District funds on credit
at the Treasury from the fiscal year
just ended cannot be used for these
purposes, municipal of11cers said.
Spokesman for the General Ac-
counting Office said, however. that
Treasury agents have been asked to
expedite the handling of requisi-
tions, warrants and bookkeeping and
that perhaps all would be in shape
Friday.
Relief checks normally due today
are being held up for some 1,700
cases on the Districts general public
assistance rolls. 275 needy blind
cases and several hundred cases in
the home care or aid-to-dependent-
children categories.

Bernard r. Tolson. manager of

bility of erecting dormitory struc-
lures in the area around Union Sta
tion Plaza because of the severe
