DYNAMITE PLOT IN SHIPYARDS IS DISCOVERED Great Store of Explosives Hid- den at Hog Island, Says Goodenough CRITICISE BIG SALARIES; Nelson, of Minnesota, Declares Highly Paid Men Were Junk Dealers ‘Washington, D. C., Mar. 14—A gen- eral defense of the work at the Hog Island Ship Yard by Walter Good- enough, general manager of the plant, and a statement by Dudley R. Ken- nedy, head of the yard’s industrial re- “lations department, that enough dyna- mite had been found at Hog Island last month to destroy half the yard, featured today’s hearing of the senate ship investigating committee. Mr. Goodenuough, who's $25,000 2} year salary frequently has been under} fire before the committee, told the senators he did not believe his sal- ary was excessive if his services were accepted as satisfactory. He also de- fended salaries of other employes and in that connection Senator Nelson, of | priced officials at Hog Island formerly | were in the junk business in Minne-| apolis at low pay.

By PAUL PURMAN : The situation in the National league as the trainint season opens is not so domplicated as that in the Ameri- n. The older orgauizai‘on has sent 1 men to Wi and there have bee fewer and le: compiizsted — trac a than was the case in the Johnson cuit.

Two hundred and forty-five pounds of the explosive were found at differ-| ent times last month, he said, and) only recently twenty pounds were dis- | covered in one place in the plant. An| investigation is now being made by} government agents, he added. | Mr. Kennedy caused much surprise among committee members by the ‘statement that the recent 20 percent advance allowed by the wage adjust-! ment board to ship workers on the} Delaware is retroactive to last Nov- ember 15, and to last January 15 for men engaged in building shipyards. The committee will continue next! Tuesday to hear officials of the Hog, Island plant and the International cor- poration.

Ilis big problem will be at second and the | success of the club_depends a great deal on Doyle's ability to stage a comeback. There has been some talk of Robertson quitiing baseball, but it is likely the temperamental Dave will be in the harness, The Giants should be at or-near the top all season. The Phillies—Moran will be lucky to finish in the first division this year. His pitching staff has been wrécked ‘y the sale of Alexander and the en- listment of Rixey, and his catching staff demoralized bythe sale’ of Kille- fer, Moran is a plugger who gets the most out of his material, but the loss of his pitchers is likely to- entail the loss of about 30 games more than were lost last” season. The Reds—This club was scarcely touched by enlistments or by the draft. The same hard hitting aggre- gation which Matty piloted last year should be able to give the Giants a fight all: season. There have . been no additions of consequence to the club. The Cardinals—The, St. Louis ag- gregation last season played wonder- ful ball until the fag end of the year, when they slumped badly. About the same club will take the fleld this year, the only loss of consequence being Jack Miller: Whether Jack Hendricks | will be able to do/as: well: with. the meh as Miller Huggins did.remains to be seen, i The Cubs—Manager.

The pitching staff was badly, wrecked by trades which sent Barnes to New York and Tyler to Chicago. Stallings must build up an entirely new pitching staff. Bos- ton will do well to finish better than last year. The Robins—Smiling Wilbert Rob- inson was hardest hit of any National league manager by the war. Cight of his players, including three first string pitchers either enlisted or were draft- ed. Robinson’s success depends a great deal on what he can do with Mamaux and Grimes, new pitchers se- cured from Pittsburgh. Both the in- field and outfield are mediocre. The Robins can hope for nothing better than the second division. The Pirates—Hugo Bezdek cannot hope to have much better success than last year, regardless of the fact that his club was not hit hard by war conditions. The transfer of Cutshaw and Stengle, to the Pirates will strengthen the club some, but one of the best of the Pittsburgh pitchers, Carlson, is now in United States serv- ice and the situation is about bal- anced. :‘ HUMANITARIAN BRANCH OF OUR WAR MACHINERY as Much of the Butchery as Mercy Can N.
