More Centers Asked.
The popularity of the centers

Childrens Bureau showed that
hundreds of mothers in Govern
ment offices wanted care for their
children, only 10 children were en-

the enrolment in eight centers was

declared Both she and Mrs. Miller
laid the slow start in centers here
to lack of information by the public

No Change in Sight.
Not only has the employment Of

mained consistently high, it was ex-
planned, but War Manpower Com

estimated that so per cent of all
workers in the District are women.
The Advisory Committee on Child

demand for the centers throughout

duction, the committee reported to
the agency. have as yet affected no
change in the employment of
women, except to increase it.
Operation of the centers in the
District costs about the same as it
does in other cities of similar popu-

average fee paid by parents here
is s4.38 week for a child from
2 to 5 years and s266 a week for
children over 5 who spend most of
the day in school. Parents pay from
81 to So week, according to their

| The average cost of each child
to the school, Miss Doonan said, is
S2.l8 day between and 5 years
of age and Sl56 day over 5 years

TULSA. Okla. Sept. 8.-Ask
almost any black-eyed youngster
on the streets of Mexico City
who is leading the National
League and he'll say the St. Louis
Cardinals. Then it's a good idea
to walk away from him quickly.
If you don't, he'll give you the
standings in the American
League, too, and try to enlighten
you on the batting averages and
life history of every outstanding
player in both loops.
This enthusiastic Interest," in
American sports, in the opinion
Of William H. Little Bilr' Miller,

achieve that feat was Jack Bentley
in 1924. Matty is the only other
Giant pitcher to do that, in 1908.
Voiselle already has pitched %
complete games, tops in the circuit.
Big Bill needs only two more to
join Matty, McGinnity, Tesreau,
Benton and Hubbell as the only
Giant IS complete-gamers since
1900.
Voiselle also may join Matty, Hub
bell and Rube Marquard as the
only Giant pitchers to lead the
senior circuit in strikeouts. To date,
Bill tops the league with 1873, nine
more than Max Lanier of the Cards.
Keeps Careful Tab on Himself.
The hard working pitcher, a ma
tive of Ninety Six. s. c., carries a
little book in which he enters prac-
tically everything he does on the
pitching mound. He keeps a COM
plete file on batters' weaknesses,
strong points, etc. Voiselle, who suf-
fered some hard knocks in the
minors, as witness his 81 defeats
with Jersey City last year, explains
the book this way:
I'D be lost without this book
It tells me everything I've done this
season and keeps me informed on
the hitters in our league. You see,
I aims to stick in this here league
after the war ends. No more of them

Detrodt's enorced idleness due to

Brownies newest menace. In the

misplays, seven by the all-important

The Brownies almost missed their
chance to tie the idle Yanks last

Although there were only two

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-Bill Vol

hurler, seems a cinch to become the
first rookie pitcher to win 20 games
in a season since Jim Turner and
Lou Fette of the Boston Braves and
Cliff Melton of the Giants did it in
1887.
The best Giant rookie pitcher
since Christy Mathewson gained his
18th victory yesterday, 9-3, while
holding the Braves to three hits.
Voiselle appears to have the edge
on Ted Wilks, st. Louis Cardinal

erful team behind him, has won Is
games.
Leads in Innings Pitched.
The rubber armed right-hander
leads the loop in innings pitched
with 280. With at least five more

easily should top the 300 mark, to

to play in the Texas Victory Open
were warned by Lakewood Pro Larry
Nabholtz that par on the heightened
course would be a tough old bird to
negotiate with. They found out the
first day that Larry wasn't talking

The initial 18 holes of the 72-hole

just two fellows able to beat regula-
ton f1gures-Byron Nelson and Har-
old (Jug) McSpaden, who are in a
bracket by themselves when 1t comes
to victories and cash-11 tourna-
ments and almost $4,000 between
them since January /. Six titles and
$36 500 have gone to Nelson.
Byron and jug each romped in
with So, 2 under par, in yesterdays
play, leaving them strokes ahead
of any one else in the field.
Tournament officials today will cut
the list to "a low scorers plus ties for
36 holes, these to enter the final SO
starting tomorrow.
Nelson went out early yesterday
and came in with his 1895 in mid
afternoon. Until the last players
had posted cards Lord Byron's score
stood up. Then McSpaden, who had
gone 2 over on the first nine, got in
the groove to whip in with 4-un-

chalant Nelson.
