Tatum Faces Big Job
Pairing Terps' Squad;
6. W. Seeks Kicker
By George Huber

First problem facing Coach Jim
Tatum as he starts his first year with
the University of Maryland football
team is pairing the squad of exactly
100 candidates down to working size.
Most of the boys who turned out for
yesterdays initial workout resemble
football players and the cutting job
will be a tough one. Those Topped
off this week and next will return
when school opens on the Oath for
places on the B squad.
The problems are more difficult
and varied for Skip Stanley, George
Washington coach, who was able to
find only 80 gridders on hand when
the Colonials began practice yester-
day at Camp Let's. His big job will
be to find a kicker to replace John
Shullenbarger, who funked out last
spring. The search for such a player
started right away yesterday morn
ing as Skip gave practically every
body on the squad a chance to put
foot to leather.
He's wasting no time on other
matters, and having seen the boys
all last fall and again in spring
practice, he's making quite number
of changes in positions. Stan Burak
goes from end to guard, Tackle Bev
Miller will be tried at end and so
will Hank Bertelloni, who last year
was a fullback. The shortage OF
players is particularly acute at ends,
and despite these shifts Stanley had
only four ends yesterday when the
squad was broken down into position.
The overall picture of the G. w.
team looks fair, however. The boys
mostly are big, and most OF them
already were in good shape when
they turned out yesterday. Therell
be no time for foolishness in the
austere atmosphere of Capt. Let's,
and the first scrimmage session Is
planned for later this week.
Bright Maryland Future.
Coach Tatum's boys at Maryland
also looked big and healthy Seven
ty-five per cent are freshmen and
most of the rest are either juniors
or sophomores. It's bright picture
for the future. Tatum was able
to break them down into nine COM
plete teams yesterday for signal
drills-the Tooth boy taking to the
sidelines with a blistered foot
Everybody on the athletic staff was
helping Tat,fn yesterday, including
Walter Driskill, director of athletics;
Flucie Stewart, basket ball coach,
and Duke Wyre, the trainer.
Georgetown University's players
with a week Of drills behind them
had their real contact work yester-
day, and planned the first intra-
squad scrimmage for tomorrow
afternoon at $3.50.

Management Unable
To Handle Crowds
For Dodger Tilt
By the Associotsd Press

A new major league attendance
record for single day was in the
books today, thanks to a quaint
Brooklyn custom of passing the Gus
toners through the turnstiles twice
for morning and afternoon double
header.
But the total of 30o,825 set by
baseball fans who attended seven
Labor Day twin bills and the two
games at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn,
failed to astouhd thousands Of Dod-
ger followers who were turned away
because the management wasn't
prepared to handle the big crowd
that turned up for the morning
game.
Instead of scheduling a double
header, the Dodger management, as
it had done last July 4, arranged to
play morning and afternoon games
so that more customers could be
accommodated to see the National
League leaders battle the Phila-
delphia Phils.
Stanky Unable to Get In.
Game time was 10 am. but the
Flatbush faithful began lining up
five hours earlier. The crowd out
side the park was so great by game
time that Eddie Stanky, Brooks sec
ond baseman, couldn't gain admit
tance on schedule and missed bat
ting practice.
Jack Collins, Brooklyn business
manager, said, 1--WE only sold 1000
seats in the advance sale for the
morning game and we weren't pre-
pared to handle such a big crowd.
We told $1,000 tickets between 8
and TO-"
Many ticket windows were un-
manned and many of the gates were
closed. Thousands of disgruntled
customers went home rather than
waste their holiday standing in
line, but not before police emer-
gency squads were called out to
calm the surging mob. Six persons
caught in the jam were given first
aid treatment.
Altogether, 28,513 managed to get
in, and another 3,468 admissions
were counted for the afternoon
game. That boosted the total at
four National League parks to 176,-
1888. The four American League
double-headers drew 124,492.
The previous record attendance
for a single day was set last Me-
mortal Day when 283,370 saw the
eight double The Labor
Day twin bills last year drew 228,-
1876 fans.
100000 See Horse Races.
Holiday turnouts at the race
tracks set no records, but hung COM
fortably close to the previous high
marks. On Labor Day 1916, an es-
timated 35l.053 fans patronized the
13 tracks then operating. On the
basis of an actual aggregate at
tendance of 255,O93 at nine major
tracks yesterday, it was estimated
the total turnout at all 13 tracks
this year was somewhere around the
100000 mark.
The aggregate mutuel play at the
nine tracks yesterday was $11 ,602,-
288, compared with $13,673, ,499 for
the same nine tracks year ago.
At Detroit, another big holiday
crowd was reported for the Silver
Cup motorboat races, an estimated
100000 witnessing the windup of
the fixture on the Detroit River.
Last year, the International Gold
Cup races at Detroit on Labor Day
drew an estimated 10000.
Another major sports event, the
concluding singles matches Of the
Davis Cup challenge round between
and the United States at
Forest Hills, N. Y, was witnessed
by approximately 5000 tennis fans.

The flag hopes of the St. Louis
Cardinals frightened considerably
today while those of the Boston Red
sox f1ickered noticeably as the major
league pennant races roared into the
September stretch drive.
The odds still were very much
against the Redbirds despite their
double win yesterday which cut the
front running Brooklyn Dodgers
lead to 61a games in the National
League. However, the schedule from
here on in greatly favors the st.
Louisans.
OF their remaining 25 games, II
are scheduled on their home
grounds. OF their last 38 games at
Sportsmans Park, they've won 30
for an amazing .789 percentage.
The Dodgers, who wound up a
long home stand yesterday with a
split of a double-header with the
Philadelphia Phillies, must play 18
of their remaining % games on the
road. The Brooks record away
from Ebbets field this season is
S1-28 for .525 percentage.

Unser Wins Pixies Peak
Race for Eighth Time
BY the Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
Sept. 2.-Lou Unser won the annual
race up the treacherous Pixies Peak
highway for the eighth time yester-
day when he pushed his Italian-built
MaSerati over the 1871 miles of

was just a shade better than AL

REASON FOR HIGH PRICES

One of the most remarkable things
about citizens of the United States is that,
though scattered about in territory extend
ing from the Canadian to the Mexican
border and the Atlantic to the Pacific,
their thinking about major issues in Wash
ington generally runs along the same lines.
OF course, there is no unanimity of opinion,
but the basic attitude is similar.
For instance, we have heard residentsof
Key West and several other cities in the
United States assert that the federal gov
eminent should stop giving so much money
fer se-ealEed rehabilitation in foreign eoun-
tries. That money, it is pointed out. is used
to buy focdstuffs and raw materials in the
United States for shipment abroad. And
what is the result?
Not only is the taxpayer giving the
money for the purchases but also, as re-
suit of the purchases, prices Of cornmodi-
ties in the United States continue to ia
crease, as much as SO per cent in the last
year On some products. as was noted in an
Associated Press dispatch in The Citizen
a few days ago. That extra cost comes out
of his pocket.
It is equivalent to taxpayers operst-
ing economically against himself. By
shipments of foodstuffs and raw materials
from the United States. the supply is kept
below the demand, and, naturally, prices
show upward trends.
When supply goes above demand,
prices come down. but, since the war, that
circumstance has occurred in only few
cases, as the foreign drain on the surplus,
or supposed surplus, keeps the home sup
ply on level lower than the demand.
Not until the government cuts down
OH it's buying for foreign countries can the
people at home have sound reason to be
assured that the cost of living will de-
crease.

A STOVE is FIREPROOF

A stove is an excellent example of
''fireproof'' construction. 1t remains intact
while it's contents burn.
The fact is that many buildings adver-
tised as ''fireproof," are like stoves. They
are loaded with cemhustible contents
that provide sufficient fuel to feed large
fires.
This was the case with the Winecoff
hotel. It's naked walls stand today undam-
aged, although smoke-scorched, in At
lanta, Georgia.
Mention of the Winecoff brings to mind
the furore throughout the nation to in
prove the safety of hotels and other places
where people congregate in large numbers.
Apparently, the public mind has been
lulled to rest. Another tragic fire will re
awaken interest in building safety.

Without knowing the full details of

that the Legislature is to be commended

An argument is the difference of opin-
ion between two ignorant people.

The Chicago Tribune celebrated it's
Tooth anniversary this month. It was
founded June 10, 1847. In it's first issue
it declared: "The Chicago Tribune will be
neutral in nothing: it will be independent
in everything" Cocky, with a circulation
of 400! From this low of 400, The Trib-
une has increased it's Sunday average cir
culation to 1,098.OOO, which means ac-
cording to Time, that the Sunday edition
alone requires more newspfint than is re-
quired by all the newspapers in Mississippi
for an entire year.

UNNECESSARY OPERATIONS?

american medicine, including surg
cry, is undoubtedly j.. the finest in the
world" declares DR.. Albert Deutsch, in an
article appearing in Juy's Woman's Home
Companion, but he charges that I'm any
of the 100000 surgical operations per-
formed annually in America are unneces-
sary."
1T is an amazing allegation made by
the author in this responsible magazine.
He says, every year thousands of ana
tomical parts from tonsils to stomachs are
cut away or taken out because of faulty
diagnosis, over-zealous surgeons, fee-split-
ting conspiracies ar an inexcusable sur
render to the morbid wish of some pa
tients to be cut open.'
We know of no way in which any pro-
fession can prevent mistakes being made
through ignorance or through incompe-
tency, because members of professions are
merely human beings, but the "fee-split-
ting conspiracies" constitute an allega-
tioh that should receive attention from
responsible medical men.
1t might be noted in this connection
that such practice has been observed in
larger communities but, generally speak
ing, it is not prevalent in smaller areas,
like Key West, where people know each
other on more intimate basis.
The American College of Surgeons and
other reputable medical societies have re-
peatedly condemned fee-splitting but, ac-
cording to critics, have been unable to
stop it. Fee-splitting is the practice of
dividing patients fee among two or more
doctors without the patients knowledge
It is confined to only small minority of
medical men.
