The big pitching ace of the ‘Ggs ing at the Elks Alleys Saturday Washington Nationals has decided that he has wasted all the time he can afford and starting as of today he is bent on going places. The South Carolina lad has “popped off” on occasions in the past but ‘this Spring he is working in earn- est. To indicate his good faith he has accepted a few suggestions from Manager Bucky Harris with ex-| cellent results. Windmill Is Out First of all, he discarded his No. 1 vs. Team No. 10, 7:30 o'clock; | Al Riglts Reserved by The Associared Press last year that Newsom and Dizzy Dean were hauled upon the carpet | befofe Judge Landis for questioning on the little matter of receiving “bonuses” from an East St. business man for each game they won. Newsom had a bit of bad luck with Washington last spring when a line drive cracked his knee. Buck was pitching against the Cleveland | Indians when the accident occurred and went to finish the game with a broken knee. He lost the game 5-4, and then retired to the hotel where |the extent of his injury was dis- | covered. The “new” Newsom is just about the best pitcher on the National's staff, so it is highly probable that Buck will get the nod from Man- ager Harris when the Washington crew squares off against the New Louis | d 1 'REPUBLICANS Ple : ON GREAT SHOW AT | DOUGLAS SESSION| (Continued from Page One) | and voted to bind the group by unit | rule.

" Nevers Takes Lafayette Post Somewhat premature, but Ernie Nevers, new head coach at Lafay. ette college, Easton, Pa., goes into a spring training huddle with his assistants upon arrival from California, where he was assistant foot~ ball coach at Stanford university. Nevers, shown left, is a former All-American fullback at Stanford. Mike Michalske, center, former Peun State grid star,.and Eskie Clark, will assist him., For sale by Butler, Mauro Drug 'Co., (fancy, windmill windup on a hint from Harris. His so-called cross- fire he has promised to use spar- ingly, whereas in the past he trot- ted out the old side-arm delivery three times to every overhand toss. | From now on it will be an over- hand delivery with a full follow through. And with his speed and |curves that ought to take him a long way. He has spent altogether too much time copying other fel- low’s deliveries. When he went up with the Brooklyn Dodgrs in 1930 Buck checked in as an underhand pitcher — a la Carl Mays. Uncle Robbie broke him of that but only ‘half finished his job. He made a sidearm tosser of Buck. He made his American League (debut with the St. Louis Browns jand won 16 games while losing 20 for a very weak ball club. He had the speed, a world of it, and plenty 'of fast breaking curving. But, for !some reason or other, he could not ‘become the winning pitcher he should be. Rogers Hornsby at one Ilime hinted that Newsom was none too well equipped with gray matter. Buck’s main difficulty, while working for Hornsby, seemed to be that he could not, or would not, follow orders. The Rajah will find (it difficult to believe that Buck /has turned over a new leaf and is | payjng strict attention to every hint |end suggestion Bucky Harris tosses |in his direction. And yet that is |exactly what Newsom is doing and 4intends to continue doing from ,now on. | The Great Newsom { Newsom was never known to be one to belittle his own ability. As a matter of fact, he is ever ready |to bend a willing listener’s ear in praise of his talents. He has long Iheld that he is a great pitcher. And if pressed will admit that he might develop into one of the |game’s leading sluggers if given |the chance to take his cut at the |ball day in and day out. | Perhaps his stay in 8t. Louis and !the proximity to the talkative Dizzy {Dean had something to do with that. He did his ‘share of “pop- ping off” while wearing the Browns’ uniform.

WAGE REPORTS COMPLETED BY NRA OFFICIALS Result Shows Hourly Rates from Three Cents to QOver Dollar WASHINGTON, April 13.—NRA and Department of Commerce re- °h experts assembled Saturday y described as “the most picture” of American s and hours ever put together. The composite picture shows wage rates running from less than three cents to more than one dol- lar per hour. The special report, based on e pioyment between 1929 and 19 disclosed work weeks ranging from as low as ten hours to more than 60. ¢ The report, under the direction of Leon C. Marshall, covers 303 in- dustr Research in one hundred more is now virtually complete. Analysis of these reports in con- nection with the results of NRA is calculated to furnish a factual basis for any similar legislation proposed in the future. Highest wage brackets were in the electric, print roller, chemical and printing ink trades; lowest, that paid to pecan pickers in San Antonio, Texas, where the range was 2'z2 to 9 cents per hour. - MAN WOUNDED IN BLAST DIES WASHINGTON, April 13.—Jos- | eph Roith, injured Saturday in a | blast which wrecked the Navy Yard Experimental Laboratory, died to- ! day. | Roith, a civilian ordnance work- er, was blown through a window | by the explosion of several bottles of powder and chemicals. have it and steps down from the i Mortgage Property Need| Not Be Located Within Corporate Limits WASHINGTON, April 13.—Mov-| ing to spur privately-financed low | housing, the Federal Housing Ad-| ministration has announced revi- | sion of regulations for government insurance . and home mortgage.
