When Wes Ferell, crack major league hurler lost "the zip" on his fast ball He thrust his arm into a swarm of bees The Illinois Quarterback in 1905 Given Five Year Contract With National League By Harry Grayson Cleveland, Aug. 8 When' 40 of the nation's leading: offi- tfj cials assembled in Cleveland for the rules interpretation meeting of the National League of Professional Football Clubs, they were lectured by a little old gentleman named Hugh Light Ray.

Shorty Ray's work in Chicago scholastic circles over a long period of years was so outstanding that the National League has given him five-year contract as technical adviser. He has taken a leave of ab- sence from the Chicago Board of Education to devote all his time to his new work. "stingers from the bees sent his arm to abnormal size And the next day the "salary goup bone" felt fine Earl Wolgamott might try the same cure on some of his Baron hurlers Eddie Deitrick, et. al of the Scranton Red Sox who promoted the Soose-Overlin brawl may open his "money-bags" to organize a pro football team next season in Slocum Hollow. Schoolboy Rowe is one of the few hurlers in baseball history to make a real comeback After several seasons at Detroit his arm began to pain and he lost his effectiveness He consulted specialists and accepted all the aid his club trainers could give him, but to no avail-In desperation he wrapped his ailing arm around his neck, stretched it and palled hard on the socket Something popped and the next day hli arm felt fine Then he went to the Texas League to boil out the soup bone under a hot sun And tbe effect was beneficial.

The outcome was that he came back to the Tigers and that recently he pitched his club into first place But Rowe lacks the old zip he had In 1935 He's a more finished pitcher, but his arm isn't as strong There have been instances of pitchers going out and returning to the majors But none did so as sensationally as Rowe -What's more his mound work has been the main factor in Detroit's unexpected success He has overcome the kind of plain misfortune which has ruined many fine pitchers Anybody who can do that deserves special commendation. Ray, who played quarterback at Illinois in 1905 and who has since been a topnotch football and basketball coach, has been instructed to' remove dead spots from the game to give the public more lor its mnnv Ray contributed much to making 41 Manager Will Check All-Star Plans Tonight Managers ef the North and South Divisions, County League, the Independent League and the Mid-Valley League, three outstanding amateur loops of the region, will meet tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the D.

Elfin i ilAPI Ely uLm FOR DEFENSE Speaker Cites Views of Pershing and Lindbergh as Evidence of National Confusion An Impassioned plea of at least a unanimity of sentiment favoring national preparedness was voiced by Dennis Crowley, more familiarly known as 'Victor Burr," columnist with the Times-Leader Evening News, in addressing members of Kiwanis Club at their regular weekly noonday luncheon at Hotel Sterling today. In his talk the speaker stressed the fact that the American people, generally, have not yet troubled themselves to think seriously of the possibilities existing as a result of the European situation.

He referred to the most recent talks by Col. Lindbergh and Gen. Pershing as outstanding evidence of the state of confusion in the minds of leaders and adSed that, if auch a diversity of opinion exists among them, "whaf can we expect from the American public as a whole?" He said that it is just this situation which presents one of the most dangerous elements as to the future of our country. He stated that this uncertainty Is evidenced in our official family and he voiced objections to our foreign policy of late years "because of its lack of definiteness. JAMESSEES WP A FILLING STATE QUOTA Executive Expects an Increase in Employment by September Anxious for Penna.

to Save Harrisburg, Aug. 8. (Xh-A prediction that the WPA would fill Pennsylvania's 155.000 quota in September and October, was voiced today by Governor Arthur H. James. The rolls now number about 6,000 below the quota, James has long criticized the Federal officials for the quota situation in this state.

"They'll fill the auota in Septem ber and October, alright," the Governor said in his press conference. At least until November 6. and maybe after that it the rumble of the voice of the people is heard. 'If they just would provide that extra 6,000 we're entitled to, it might save the state as much as $2,000,000 a year. "All Pennsylvania is some one to give a listening ear to the problems the State has." Charges "Freeie Out" Binghamton.

N. Aug. 8 JPl Countercharges that an attempt is being made tf "freeze out" the WPA from the national defense training program being carried on under the Binghamton Department of Educa tion were contained in a bitter state ment today by District WPA Man ager James Conley. This statement conflicted directly with one by Lester Herzog, state head, that no charges of discrimina tion ever have been made by trfe WPA. In his answer to the charge that the WPA is attempting "to elbow its way into control of the program, Mr.

Conley said, "the instructions issued by F. C. Harrington, Federal commissioner of WPA under the date of July 3, state, and I quote, 'so far as the requisition shall be filled by the assignment of certified persons by "Here in Binghamton the official procedure was exactly reversed. One of two things must be true. Either the local defense training program was started without proper instruc tions as to the conditions under which the Federal funds were to be made available, or the school officials are deliberately giving the WPA workers and the other unem ployed persons for whom the program was designed the run around, and the well-known 'freeze out'," Larksville Youth Admits Stealing Coupons For Soap Albert Lyons, 19.
