back to baseball. While pitching
for a semipro team in Brooklyn,
he was approached by Paul
Krichel, a Yankee scout. who
asked him if he would work as a
batting practice pitcher.
you won't get much glory, but
the work will be steady, the salary
regular, the food good and the
company excellent" Krichen told
him. Paul took the job.
Asked whether the work was
hard, Schreiber said:
"It isn't as easy as it looks.
You have to work every day, and
that requires wind and legs. You
have to keep in perfect shape. In
my job having stuff on the ball is
not so vital. But you must have
near perfect control. The idea
is to let them hit the ball."

Navy Vets Pounding
May ReIegate Him
TO Role on Relief
By Burton Hawkins
Sfar Sfaff Corrsspond&nf

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, Mar
2s-Ray Scarborough, who was one
Of the glamour boys of the Mats
pitching staff when the club con-
vened for spring training, rapidly is
hurting his way out of the society
Of starting pitchers. Unless he dis
plays marked improvement in q
hurry he'll be relegated to the COM
parative ignominy of a relief job.
Ossie Bluege was relying on Bobo
Newsom, Early Wynn, Sid Hudson,
Mickey Haefner and Scarborough
to supply him with staff Of start
ers, but supplanting Scarborough in
Osie's estimation at the moment is
little Chick Pieretti. Chicks bid for
a starting berth now is receiving
serious consideration.
Meanwhile, Scarborough has given
Bluege little reason to string along
with him. He has made three ap-
pearances in games and on each
occasion he has been battered bru-
tally. His own mates, in an intra-
squad game, thumped him for five
runs IN three innings. Cincinnati
did the same thing and on Monday
it was Chattanooga embarrassing
the former Navy officer.
Pounded for Is Runs.
Ray has pitched II innings and
the results he's getting aren't i'm
pressive. He has been slammed for
Is runs and 10 hits, all OF which has
Bluege in mood to dismiss him as
a prospective starter.
Plagued by a sore arm for 10
weeks last season, Ray won 7 games
and lost II. He was effective during
the latter part Of the year, however,
and climaxed the season with q
shutout victory over the Boston Red
Sox. The Mats bosses believed Scar
borough was ready to become a
steady pitcher.
With five weeks Of spring train
ing gone, Ray hasn't convinced
Bluege he may be trusted with
starting assignments. Scarborough
unquestionably Is a better pitcher
than he has demonstrated, but until
he gets around to proving it, his
status will remain doubtful.
Joe Grace, on the other hand, is
blotching other Bluege blueprints by
cumming up his outfield plans. The
original design called for Gil Coan
to have priority on left field, with
Stan Spence in center and Buddy
Lewis in right, but alterations may
be necessary.
Coan's Fielding is Of.
Coan is batting a robust .45S, but
his fielding has been several notches
below acceptable. George Cases
right-handed batting on a club
loaded with left-handed hitters
would be welcomed by Bluege, but
Grace refuses to be ignored. Joe
is hitting 800 and giving the Mats
a reliable performance in the out
field.
Washington was to seek its fifth
straight exhibition game victory
here today against the Philadelphia
Athletics, with Bobo Newsom on
the mound. The Mats and AS will
play here again tomorrow, with
Washington then invading Miami
for one game with Pittsburgh and
two with the st. Louis Browns.

existed prior to passage Of the Clay

To the Justice Departments ar

ut Is our view that Government
activity in connection with labor
disputes prior to the Clayton Act
and the Norris-La Guardia Act was
of such character as to make
inescapable the conclusion that
these acts were intended to apply
to the Government and that the
abuse of equity jurisdiction which
gave rise to these statutes was an
abuse which the Attorney General,
the executive, had sponsored and
popularized."

NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 14.-The
Government planned to resume
cross-examination today of Joseph
8. Fay, AFL union chieftain, who
testified yesterday that he did not
consider legally taxable any Of the
$4,000 which he admitted receiving
from two building contractors to
assure labor peace.
Fay said the money was spent to
wine and dine" labor leaders and
their friends and had not been re-
ported for income tax purposes be-
cause, he told the court, he con-
sidered it legitimate union expenses.
Charged by the Government with
evading $118,879 in tax payments
from 1910 to 1912, Fay testified yes
terday for two hours, telling the
court he had received only 10000
not ,000-from two contractors
to prevent labor difficulties on a
New York City water supply con-
struction project.
Tells Of $4,000 Payments.
Fay said $4,000 was given to him
by william j. Brewster, president
of the contracting firm Of George
M. Brewster e. Son Co. of Bogota,
N. j., and $50, 900 was paid by John
s.. Macdonald, an officer Of, the
Walsh Construction CO. and the
Associated Contractors of America,
Inc.
Fay said that Mr.. Macdonald and
Thomas S. Walsh, sr., also an officer
Of Mr.. MacDonald's firm. appealed
to him in 1898 to help preserve
peace on the contracts they held on
the Delaware Aqueduct project.
The two, Fay said, told him they
were threatened by an interunion
souabble and offered him per cent
of their $22,500,000 contract to
maintain peaceful labor xelations.
Fay said he called in James Bove,
vice president of the AFL Hod Car
riers and Laborers' Union, to help
straighten out the difficulty.
Was New Practice.
II didn't expect to get any OF the
money for myself he said.
At one point in the testimony
Judge Thomas F.. Meaney inter-
rupted and asked Fay:
"Is it ordinary practice to make
an employer pay for trouble caused
by inter,inion disputesP"
Fay replied: 1T wasn't up to that
time"
Germany still has shortage OF
