Must Beat
Yanks 10
Win Flag
BY DILLON GRAHAM
AP Features Sports Editor

NEW YORK.-They're still the
Yankees, still the team to beat,
even though the military services
have claimed a handful of their
stars.
Threa-fourths of the New York
infield. two outficlders and tn e
clubs most experienced pitcher are
gone, all but one of them wearing
the garb of Uncle Sam
Some clubs haven't lost SO many
key players and there's been bit
of popping off about the Ameri-
can League pennant going to the
Indians or the Browns this war
year. But the Yankees will re-
mind you they were country mile
ahead of the field at the 1912 fin
ish, and SO can slip quite bit and
still be right up in the thick of
the flag fuss.

DIV are in the service and Red is
basketball and baseball coach at
Yale, his playing days behind him.
Gone, too, are Tommy Heinrich
and George (Twinkletoes) Selkirk
from the outfield and big Rufus
the Red Ruffing, for long years
the kingpin of the chunking CORPS.
Heinrich was the first to go, late
last season, while Ruffing entered
the service a few weeks ago.
But, as long as those three guys
named Joe-DiMaggio, Gordon and
McCarthy-are around, the Yanks
will be tough. And this trio will be
on deck, although there has been
some talk that DiMaggio might
enter service, in fact he has an
nounced he will try to get in the
service.
The infield Will be built around
the veterans, Joe Gordon at Sec
ond and frankie Crosetti at third
base, capable of steadying the new
corners. Three-fourths of the Ne
wark inffeld George Stirnweiss,
2b; Bill Johnson, SIS, and Henry
Majeski, 3b--are on hand and the
Yankee shortstop will be selected
from this trio. Chances are, too,
that one of them may wind up
at third in place of the aging Gro
setti, who will be out for the first
month anyway because he sassed
an umpire in the last World Series.
The veteran Bill Knickerbocker, OBJ
tanned from the AS, will be on
deck, too.
Stirnweiss, long hitter, batted
1853 but made his chief reputation
as a base stealer when he swiped
70 to set new loop record. John
son hit 29l, while Majeski led the
International League with .345 and
was voted the most valuable player.
First base apparently will be
handled by Nick Etten, who came
from the Phils in a trade for Ed
Levy and Allen Gettel However,
trials at the initial sack may be
given Gerald Priddy, oscar Grimes,
from Cleveland, and Pitcher John
Lindell. tstMt
With the acquisition of Roy
Weatherly from Cleveland, tn e
Yanks should have the fastest out
field in the majors DiMaggio and
Charles Keller round out the pick
ct line with Tuck Stainback, Russ
Derry and Bud Metheny from Ne
wark also available. The word is
that Metheny is a conner.
Ruffing is the only pitcher
around at World Series time who
won't be back. There1l be Lefty
Gomez, Alley Donald, John Lin
dell, Spud Chandler, Hank Borowy
Ernie Bonham, Marius Russo, Mar
vim Breuer, Johnny Murphy an
Jim Turner. OF these, Russo should
be of much more value than
year ago when he was lined
with an arm injury.
Two of the best pitching pros
poets from the minors are Tom
Byrne, the Newark lefty who led
his league with II wins and four
losses, and batted 1926 in 81 games,

Rationing Adds
To 'NiIkIess'
Schools Plight

The much-publicized milk short
age is but one OF the hurdles
hoard of education officials are
, striving TO surmount these days
to feed Detroit school children
L. A Wiles, director OF the school,
lunch program, revealed today.
Ranged alongside the milk
scarcity are food rationing, food
shortages and government rec
tape which have limited Detroit'
participation in the federal gov
ernment's subsidized school lunch
program.
Recently, Congress appropriated
$50. 900 900 10 help furnish more
balanced meals at lower cost 70
American school children. Unless
there is relief from the above
mentioned bottlenecks. Detroit
will continue to miss It's far share
OF this money.
AS a substitute for the sur
Mus commodities and penny milk
programs, Congress established
this subsidized lunch program"
Wiles said. ut established what

Three Held in $4,000
Extortion Plot Face
Charge Of Bribery
Detectives Accuse Trio
Of Offering Money to
60 Easy With Them

Three men held in New York on
charge of attempting to extort
$4,000 from a Government official
here face an additional charge today
of trying to bride two detectives, the
Associated Press reported.
The intended victim of the re-
puted extortion plot was identified
only as an American official in a
British government Office. The trio
was said to have approached him in
his apartment here, posing as po-
lice officers, and demanding the
$4,000 under threat of prosecuting
the man on morals charge.
Held under $4,000 bond in this
case, the three were placed under
additional bail of $4,000 to $25 900
in New York general sessions, after
they allegedly sought to bride De-
tectives Thomas Farrell and Edward
Crowley to go easy on the charges"
while being taken to Jail following
a preliminary hearing on the extor-
ton complaint in Felony Court. The
grand jury indicted the three men
after the bribery complaint.
They are Robert Mattlin, 80, and
Merle Revell, SO, New York, and
Lourie Henderson, 80, of Cincinnati.
General Sessions Judge James
Garrett Wallace held Mattlin, who
Detective Farrell said offered him
$1,000, in $4,000 bail. Revell and
Henderson. who Detective Crowley
testified offered a $500 bride, were
held in bail of $4,000 and $4,000
respectively. Hearing on both
charges will be in Felony Court in
New York next Tuesday.
Warden William Adams of the
criminal court Jail advised Judge
Wallace that he found $500
secreted in the sleeve lining of Re-
Wells coat.

PIasma Saved Life,
Soldier Declares at
Red Cross Meetinq
Potent at Walter Reed
Tells of Aid Received
After Bottle

Pvt. Carl Drake of the Army Air
Forces, who is convalescing at Wal
ter Reed Hospital, yesterday re-
counted how the American Red
Cross had aided him when he was
wounded in battle. He spoke at a
meeting preparatory to the 1913
Metropolitan Area Red Cross War
Fund Campaign for 81 ,555 400, which
is to be launched here on March l..
Pvt. Drake told newspapermen
and members of the Newspaper
Committee for the campaign that
Red Cross blood plasma had saved
his life. Taken to a hospital badly
wounded, he said, the first person
he saw bending over MIN was a
smiling Red Cross girl"
Pvt. Drake also told of the many
services of the Red Cross to men in
the armed forces, including letter
writing, giving information and as
sisting in legal problems and pro-
viding entertainment.
Regarded as Mother.
Always the Red Cross people said,
What can I do for you?'" he said,
adding, "All the boys in the service
think of the Red Cross as their fos-
ter mother, and I just wish I could
get out and help you raise the
money to put this campaign over"
Col. William E. Slater asserted
that the saving of lives at Casa
blanca alone, through blood plasma,
justified the War Fund drive or any
other Red Cross campaign.

Officials Seek
Solution 10
Ban on Sirens
Fire Chiefs Remark.
In Death of Two
Children Probed

National OCD, District and nearby
county officials today were attempt
ing to settle on the best methods of
getting emergency vehicles through
traffic without using sirens, and OF
summoning volunteer firemen to
fire calls.
A prompt investigation was made
last night by OCD officials of pub
liShed reports quoting nearby fire
chief as stating that confusion
caused by the new signals may have
been partially to blame for the death
of two small children in a fire near
Branchville, Md. Alexandria Fire
Chief James M. Duncan yesterday
blamed the new signals for the ex-
tent of damage in three-house fire
there Thursday night.
The OCD official reported that the
Branchville fire chief, c. D. Walker,
ST., of Berwyn Heights, Md, denied
he had blamed the signals and said
slight delay in reaching the fire
may have been Caused by az mile
detour.
Solution Sought.
1t was understood, however, that
National OCD was studying the
problems posed by the restrictions
on sirens with view to recommend
ing action if necessary to the military
which ordered the curbs to prevent
conflict with AFRAID signals.
Commissioner Guy Mason said he
was confident that some means
would be found to help District
emergency vehicles gain the right of
way over civilian traffic in answer
ing distress calls.
He said the problem would be
worked out as it had been done in
Philadelphia and New York, where,
he reported, sirens had been prohib-
tied for year.
Efforts, he said, are being made to
equip fire trucks and police scout
cars with exhaust whistles "if they
can be found and the city can find
the money to buy and install them"
In New York, according to Ma
tional OCD, a supply of bells and
exhaust whistles was available from
number of years earlier when they
were used exclusively. Some of the
fire engines now are equipped with
bells and other use both bells and
exhaust whistles. The whistles are
said to be difficult to obtain now.
Obey Traffic Regulations.
Meanwhile. Chief Duncan ordered
Alexandria fire engines to observe
traffic regulations, including stop
signs and red lights, and released a
letter sent to him by Fred Shop
perd. managing director of the In
ternational Association of Fire
Chiefs.
The latter reported that at the
annual meeting of the associations
board of directors in New York Feb
ruary to 5, it was the unanimous
opinion of the board that the use of
sirens should be continued by the
fire service and that no change in
their use should be considered.
An Alexandria engine answering
the fire call Thursday narrowly
escaped colliding with q car driven
by Civilian Defense Co-ordinator
Carl Budwesky, and both Mr.. Bud
weSky and Mr.. Duncan decided at
the time that compliance with traffic
regulations was the lesser of two
evils as far as silent" fire engines
were concerned.

Horse Owners Claim
Neglected Animals;
Farmer Takes Others
Chevy Chase Stable
Emptied Of Equines
As Police Approve

The problem of what to do with
the approximately 10 horses alleg-
edly receiving poor attention in
Chevy Chase stable was being solved
today.
A visit to the stable, which once
housed the Chevy Chase Girls Cav
airy. disclosed that some of the
horses are being taken by their
owners who had left them to be
boarded by William Todd, manager
of the stable, while the majority are
being carried away by a Norbeck
farmer because of an outstanding
feed bill.
The farmer, c. E. Beech, was
loading the horses in groups of four
on truck and said that he would
take six that were left this after
noon. He said Mr.. Todd owed him
almost 81 900 for feed.
Saddles Are Claimed.
Saddles also were disappearing
fast as owners came in to claim them.
Mr.. Beech said he learned about
the condition of the horses, which
had been without water from Sun
day to Wednesday, through the
newspapers. While there was feed
in the stables, Montgomery County
police said there was no evidence
that the animals had been fed reg
ularly. There was no evidence that
the animals were starving, however,
police said
Police said that Mr.. Beech's action
was "all right with them" as long as
he took care of the horses.
Water Trough Empty.
In response to calls by residents
near the club. located in the 5000
block of Connecticut avenue, Be-
thesda police and members of
the Chevy Chase Fire Department
went to the stable Thursday and
found the water troughs were
empty and water pipes had been
frozen since Sunday.
George S. List, who was sent to
the scene by the Maryland Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, said no attendants could
be found. Discovery also was made
Of dead colt believed to have been
born Tuesday or Wednesday. Mr..
List said the colt had been trampled
by the horses, or may have been
born dead.
The permit of the academy. which
formerly housed the Chevy Chase
Girls Cavalry and the Rock Creek
Riding Club, was revoked December
l by the Montgomery County Com
missioners after neighbors reported
the stable was menace to health
and safety"
Mr.. Todd could not be located.
Police said he had been ordered to
have the horses out of the stable
by March /.

membership also Endorsed the Mac
MILAN bill which would authorize
appointment of auxiliary policemen
with full authority equal to that of
regular policemen, but suggested an
amendment removing the restriction
limiting the force to $500 members.
The federation also recommended
that present laws be changed to per-
nit female employees to work in ex-
cess of hours a day and after 6
pm. and permitting the employ
ment of girls under 10 years of age
not more than hours a day, but

Members also approved legislation
which would reduce the present un-

District employers. The association
declared the present reserve fund is
sufficient to meet demands for 18
years.
