Mickeyto Get Relief Often;
|McDernott Adds to Worry
By Burton Howkins
Stoy SfoH Correspondent

CLEARWATER, Fla. Mar. "a.
Mickey Vernon, the Senators
seemingly ageless first baseman,
has slowed up to a point where
his heavy footed baSerunning is
becoming a source of deep con-
Germ to his bosses.
Vernon. who will be 81 years
old next month, is displaying no
sprightliness on the bases and
the Senators apparently will be
forced t. replace him at first base
more frequently than they had
believed. At the moment, he
seems as whipped as in the final
month OF last season. when he
staggered to an exhausted finish.
Mickey twice has been thrown
out at the plate when runner
with ordinary speed would have
scored. It's becoming painfully
evident that he no longer can be
recognized as one of the games
more adept base runners.
Dresser Shocked Twice
Twice Dresser has sent Mickey
toward the plate and twice Chuck
has been a shock victim as YER
non was tagged easily. It ap-
pears that the Senators will
have to be conservative runners
when Mickey is on base and that
Roy Sievers is destined to see
more action there than anybody
imagined.
Mickey felt he'd be able to last
it through this season If he could
be replaced in the second game
of double-headers and every
fourth or fifth day during hot
spells. Now it's doubtful that
Mickey ran play as often as he
hoped
Rain today washed out the
Senators exhibition with the
Phillies here. Dean Stone had
been SC eduled to pitch and
Sievers was slated to supplant
Vernon at first.
In yesterdays 1914 loss to the
Yankees at st Petersburg, Yer
non took the Senators out of
a possible big inning by being
nailed at the plate to end
three-run uprising against Bob
Turley in the fifth. Mickey was
an easy victim of Bob Cerv's
throw to the plate while trying
to score on Jim Busby's single
to left.
Vernon's legs may regain
some vigor with more duty. He

training due to a salary hassle

"a (P.-George Zuverink's eide

kept the Pan American swim
ming and diving scene humming
today, with the United States
far in front in points and con-
tinuing its domination in the
overall picture of these 1855 Lit
tie Olympics.
Mexico's superb Joaquin Ca
pilla was favored to capture the
10-meter platform diving crown
to go with his three-meter title.
and Patricia Mccormick of the
United States was expected to
duplicate the feat in the wom-
ems diving.
The United States also held
strong candidates in the wom-
ems 200-meter breaststroke, 100
backstroke and 400 freestyle re-
lay and in the mems 100 freestyle.
U. S. Has Big Lead
The unofficial points for the
United States in swimming and
diving. including victories in the
400-meter freestyle and 100
meter backstroke yesterday,
stood:
The United States LOG, Argen-
tina 40, Mexico 20, Canada %
and Brazil IL. to list the major
teams. This was for nine events,
with nine to go.
The story was even more re-
sounding for the games as a
whole. The count: United States
1,26012, Argentina 5231a, Mexico
1877.
Swimming and diving compe-
tition occupied most of the in
ternational interest. These
events wind up late tomorrow.
Determined Jimmy McLane of
the United States Army. an ex-
Olympic hero, became the first
United States double gold medal
winner when he won the 400
meter freestyle yesterday, beat
ing out his teammate, Wayne
Moore, and Argentina's Oscar
Kramer, and breaking the
games record.
Wanda Werner Second.
McLane, who may or may not
point for a place in his third
Oiympics next year. swan the
distance in 4:51.3, beating the
4:524 made by Tetsuo Okamoto
of Brazil in 1851.
Previously McLane knocked
off the Latin-American chal-
lenge in winning the 1,500-meter
freestyle.
Sixteen-year-old Frank E.
Mckinney, jr., Indianapolis
high school star, upset Pedro
Galvao of Argentina and his
United States teammate, Buddy
Baarcke, in the 100-meter back
stroke. He tied the games rec
ord set in the preliminaries by
Baarcke at 1:07.1.
An interesting sidelight was
the fact that the boys father,
Frank Mckinney, ST., former
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. watched the
race unbeknown to the son.
Canada captured its first top
prize when pert Helen Stewart
won out in a dead-heat finish
with 14-year-old Wanda Lee
Werner Of Bethesda, Md, in the
100-meter freestyle. Miss Wer-
ner of the Walter Reed Swim
Club in Washington, D. c., first
was declared the winner, but the
judges then gave the nod to Miss
Stewart.
Shelley Mann Disappoints
The time was l:07.7 and the
big surprise was the sixth-place
finish of Shelley Mann, the United
States champion. The Airing
ton (Va.) miss was called back
twice for beating the gun. She
was obviously off form and was
never a serious threat.

points! The reason for the magni-
ficatiOn of changes is that the
Dow Averages are no longer
arithmetic averages. That is, in
stead of taking the aggregate value
of the 30 stocks in the series and
then dividing the sum by 80, they
now take the aggregate value and
use an adjusted divisOr which at
the present time is 5.76. THUS,
THE DAILY CHANGE IN THE
AVERAGE is ACTUALLY MAG
NIFIED IN A RATIO OF 80 TO
SIS, OR ABOUT So TO 1.
This method of computing the
daily Average is to save time,
yet preserve the historical contin-
uity of the Average. Under the old
method they adjusted each stock
in the series for stock splits be-
fore computing the daily Average.
Under the present method, no such
adjustments are made for the in
dividual stOcks,-the adjustments
are made in the divisor. In this
way, there is no need to make
a great many computations to ad-
Just for the various splits that
have taken place over the years.
The present method is satisfac-
tory and simple,-the divisor itself
is changed from time to time as
splits and stock dividends occur.
Vn fact. when this "divisor" idea
was first used, the figure was
1877. whereas the figure now used
is 5.76 They first computed the

aquifier, developed principally in
the northern half of Kent County,
was pumped at the rate Of 3.6 mill
lion gallons a day in 1854. Water
levels at Dover have declined more
than so feet in the last so years,
and a large cone of depression in
the water surface has been devel-
oped. The other MiOcene aquifer,
used in southern Kent County, was
pumped at the rate of two million

in this aquifer have declined at Mil

step was to add together the mar

Operation Outrage

We note from the Congressional
Record (where it was reprinted
that Editor Art Williamson, of
THE ENTERPRISE-COURIER, of
Charleston, Mo-, wrote a letter to
his Congressman. "Now that you
folks have managed to raise your
salaries sufficiently to make your
work worth your time expended" i"
he said, you might settle down
and unpass a bit of legislation
which has caused no end of trouble
confusion
II have reference to Public Law
1893. This Law, passed specifically
for the Railway Express boys,
places an abitrary and silly limf-
tatiOn on weight and size of par
eel post packages mailed between
post offices of the first class"
Mr.. Wallhausen went on from
there to describe some of the ridicu-
lOus situations the law had caused
in his own experience, such as
the necessity of Charleston bust
ness men hauling parcel post ship
ments to a town with a second or
third class post Office, from which
mail trucks would haul the pack
ages back to Charleston for dis
patch to their destinations!
He did not mention that, since
the passage of P. L. 1919, parcel
post rates have been boosted over
20 per cent-and that this Law
added as much as 20 million dol
lars to the annual postal deficit.
Nor did he point out that Rail-
way Express rates are even higher
Or that the total effect-seen in
sharply decreased parcel post vol
ume-has been to cripple the small
merchants up and down Main St
with insuppOrtable transportation
costs. Or even that Railway Elk
press is now offering discounts Oi
20 to 40 per cent to large shippers
But then, Mr.. Williamson could
hardly cover all the evils stem
ming from P. L. 199-even if he
sent his letter by Railway Express
In presenting this document in
the Record under Extension OF
Remarks, the recipient, Congress-
man Paul G. Jones, said: Expert
ence has taught US that the legis.
latiOn which became P. l.. 1875
was not in the interest of the
general public, and that it should
