Red Raiders Lose
First Half Title
To EAL In Miami
LOCALS DROPPED BOTH
ENDS OF DADE LOOP
CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY.
OFF YESTERDAY

Red Raiders bowed to Eastern
Air Lines in both ends of a
doubleheader yesterday at Mi
ami Field, Al and 80. The double
win gave EAL the playoff and
the championship of the Dade
County League first-half.
In the first game, Mike Mar
tynik, EAL crack southpaw, linn
tied the Raiders to one hit in
racking up a Al victory. He
struck out three and walked two.
The lone Raider tally came in
the fifth when Joe Mira lived
on an error, and came home on
Pancho Salinero's single to left.
Silvero went all the way for the
Raiders. He struck out two and
walked six. Harold Skinner and
Jim Erkes, with three hits in five
official trips to the plate, led the
EAL attack.

In the second game, the Raid
er failure to hit in the pinches
proved their downfall. They left
10 men stranded on bases. Twice
with the bases loaded and no
outs, the Raiders could do no
better than tally one run. East
ern Air Line scored one run in
the second inning on three hits
and an error. Then the Raiders
got to Graham's wildness, and
he forced in a run by walking
Cheta Baker with the bases load
ed in the third inning. In their
half of the third, EAL went
ahead by scoring two runs on
two hits and a walk. The Raid
ers scored another run in the
sixth when o. o. Villareal
walked with the bases loaded.
Toby Owens, with only a days
rest, went all the way for the
Raiders. He struck out four and
walked one.
Terry Graham started for EAL,
bat was relieved by Wendell
King in the sixth. Graham
struck out two and walked four.

PLAYERS SAY IT'S Fins
EST SUBSTITUTE YEA
DEVISED FOR LIVE
BLOCKING TACKLING'
BY FRANK Eek
Ap Newsteotures Sports Edito

AP NewsfeofuIes Sports Editor
BROOKLYN.-You would have
to see DR.. Marvin A. (MaD Stew
ems All-Purpose football training
lmachine to appreciate it. Foot
ball players who have tested ii
fsay it is the finest substitute yet
devised for live blocking and
ltackling",
1t is by-product of DR.. Stew
ems experimental work on pneu-
matte resistance devices for in
Ifantile paralysis victims. The new
coach of the Brooklyn Football
Dodgers has designed several
types of them for footballers dur
ing the last two decades. How
ever, none had the pneumatic re-
distance principle.
About six months ago. in con-
junction with Robert A. Moor.
consulting engineer for the City
of Philadelphia, Stevens began
designing mis- new machine. It
now is ready and shortly will
be on the market.
Moor previously designed a ma
chine which had been tried out
by Army at West Point. However,
not only was it too cumbersome
but it was rugged for indoor work
only.
The new machine can be used
indoors or outdoors in all kinds
Iof weather either as fixed or
movable device.
It really is not rnisnamed. It
serves all football purposes SUCH
as leg development. hand charg-
ing. shoulder charging. block
ing and tacklina.
The shaft on which are attach
ed the tackling or blocking dunn
my and the shoulder charging de-
vice-they are interchangeable
is driven into the pneumatic cylin-
der where air resistance is built
up. Gauges attached to the cyl
inder register the force of the
players charge.
The complete machine will sell
for $436.85 and Stevens expects
that many colleges and pro teams
will be using it long before the
fall sport arrives.
Stevens first gained athletic
fame at little Washburn Col
lege. Kansas. where he won five
letters in one year for football,
baseball track. tennis and bas-
ketball. He transferred to Yale
and in 1873 played with the un-
beaten Eli eleven.
Upon graduation from Yale, he
became assistant football coach
and enrolled in the Yale Medical
School. He became head gridiron
coach at New Haven, Conn, in
1927 and held the post for five
years.
In 1894 he was appointed head
coach at NYU and remained until
AZ when the school abandoned
the sport because of war. He
then entered the Navy Medical
Corps. 1t was while on duty in
the Pacific as commander aboard
carriers that Stevens got the idea
of his pneumatic all-purpose ma
chine. The pneumatic principle
Is used in plane deck landings.
When Stevens received his dis
charge last winter he immediate
ly became associated with the
football Dodgers as part owner
and coach of Brooklyn's All
American Conference team. He
still combines his football coach
ing with his medical practice and
is one of the foremost orthopedic
surgeons in the east. :.

backlog of public works for slack
time jobs and at the same time
assure orderly and full develop
ment of the country's water re-
sources.
But there's opposition. too.
Private power people say pub
lie power development puts
government in competition with

The Enthusiastically most of
them-don't like the idea of too
much federal spending for i'm

competition for the rails.
There is little serious opposi-
ton to purely flood control prof.

who look with misgiving on
spending too much for them.
A project travels a long and
sometimes rough road before
it finally is approved or rejected
by Congress. Here's how it is
handled:
To begin with. someone de-
cides it is needed.
1t is proposed to Congress.
A committee authorizes the

slider the cost and the benefits,
and hold hearings.
The engineers make their
recommendation to Congress.
If it is favorable. the proper
committee holds hearings. If
the committees decision is ia
yorable. the project goes into
an omnibus" bill with many
other projects.
But that's not all:
The measure then goes to the
House or Senate. Either Senate or
House can eliminate, or add, |
projects,
Finally approved by Congress, |
the bill goes to the President. He
can veto or approve it.
But approval by the President |
doesn't build the project. An ap- |
bill has to be passed
by both houses first and accepted :
by the President. |
Then it comes to the final stage: |
The engineers have authority
to modify the project or to
change their minds and not
build it at all.
The word ''porkbarreP' resounds +
in Congress during noisy debate
over project bills. A porkbarrel !

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-James F.
Byrnes, Secretary of State of the
United States, and Ernest Bevin,
Great Britain's foreign minister,
today agreed to a proposal to
